Objective To compare the macular imaging and measurements of patients with idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERM) by stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT) and two different types of spectral-domain OCT. Methods Forty-six consecutive patients (46 eyes) diagnosed as idiopathic ERM in the period of August 2008 to October 2008 were enrolled in this study. The patients included 11 males and 35 females, with a mean age of (61.04plusmn;10.13) years. Twenty-one age- and sex- matched normal subjects (21 eyes) were enrolled in this study as control group. All the subjects underwent stratus OCT, cirrus OCT and 3D OCT-1000 examinations. The macular area was divided into three concentric circles which including central region with 1 mm diameter, inner area with ＞1 mm but le;3 mm diameter, and outer ring area with ＞3 mm but le;6 mm diameter. The inner area and outer ring area were divided into superior, nasal, inferior and temporal quadrants by two radioactive rays. The characteristics of OCT images and the quantitative measurements were compared among these three machines. The macular thickness of ERM group and control group was also compared. And the correlation of visual acuity and the macular thickness in idiopathic ERM patients was evaluated. Results The increased macular retinal thickness, disorder structure of inner retina, uneven surface and proliferative inner and outer plexiform layer were observed in ERM group by stratus and spectral-domain OCT. But the minor pathological changes on inner retina structure and internal surface proliferation could be observed more clearly by spectral-domain OCT than those by stratus OCT.The macular thicknesses of all the subjects measured by Cirrus OCT and 3D OCT-1000 were thicker than those measured by Stratus OCT (t=7.445-11.253,P=0.000). The correlations of measurements between three OCTs were good (r＞0.9). The flatted or disappeared fovea of ERM patient group was observed by all three OCTs. The macular thicknesses on different subfields of patients in ERM group were thicker than those in control group, especially in the 1-3 mm inner ring (t=2.477-10.139,P＜0.05). Moderate negative correlations were shown on the macular thickness and visual acuity in ERM group (r=-0.216-0.517). Conclusions Spectral domain OCT yields better visualization of the intraretinal layers than time domain OCT. The images in spectral domain OCT are more clear and fine compared to stratus OCT. Stratus OCT correlates with spectral domain OCT, but they are different, and cannot be replaced by each other.
Traditionally, adequate tidal volume is considered to be a necessary condition to support respiratory patient breathing. But the high frequency ventilation (HFV) with a small tidal volume can still support the respiratory patient breathing well. In order to further explore the mechanisms of HFV, the pendelluft ventilation between left and right lungs was proposed in this paper. And a test platform by using two fresh sheep lungs was developed for investigating the pendelluft ventilation between the left and right lungs. Furthermore, considering the viscous resistance (R), inertance (I) and lung compliance (C) in the lung, a second-order lung ventilation model was designed to inspect and evaluate the pendelluft ventilation between left lung and right lungs. On referring to both results of experiments in practice and simulation in MATLAB Simulink, between the left and right lungs, the phase difference in their airflow happens during HFV at some frequencies. And the pendelluft ventilation between the left and right lungs is resulted by the phase difference, even if the total airflow entering a whole lung is 0. Under HFV, the pendelluft ventilation between left and right lungs will benefit the lungs being more adequately ventilated, and will be improve the utilization rate of oxygen in the lungs.
Objective To observe the effects of local macular foveal photoreceptor defects on visual acuity.Methods Thirty-one patients (31 eyes) with photoreceptor defect in macular fovea (case group) diagnosed by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and 30 patients (30 eyes) age- and diopter- matched normal subjects (control group) were enrolled in this study. There were 22 eyes with full photoreceptor defects and 9 eyes with outer segment defects in case group. All subjects were examined for best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit-lamp microscopy, direct ophthalmoscope and SD-OCT. Independent sample t-test was used to compare central foveal thickness (CFT) between case group and control group. Difference of logMAR BCVA, CFT, maximum width and height of photoreceptor defects, defected area and residual retinal thickness in macular between patients with full photoreceptor defects and outer segment defects were also compared.Results The CFT of case group and control group were (225.32plusmn;19.70),(240.02plusmn;10.70) mu;m, the difference was not statistically significant (t=-1.96, P＞0.05). In full photoreceptor defects and outer segment defects patients, the mean logMAR BCVA were 0.22plusmn;0.31, 0.32plusmn;0.43; the mean CFT were (224.09plusmn;20.57), (228.33plusmn;18.17) mu;m; the maximum width of photoreceptor defects were (131.32plusmn;108.18), (143.22plusmn;66.93) mu;m; the mean defected area were (0.022plusmn;0.054), (0.019plusmn;0.019) mm2; the mean maximum height of photoreceptor defects were (77.41plusmn;6.62), (44.89plusmn;4.26) mu;m; the mean residual retinal thickness were (87.00plusmn;20.31), (128.33plusmn;23.54) mu;m respectively. There was no statistical significance between full photoreceptor defects and outer segment defects patients in the mean logMAR BCVA, CFT, maximum width of photoreceptor defects and defected area (t=-0.76, -0.538, -0.305, 0.166; P＞0.05), but there were significant difference in mean maximum width of photoreceptor defects and residual retinal thickness (t=12.72, -4.91;P＜0.05). Conclusions The local photoreceptor defects in macular fovea can lead to decrease of visual acuity. The wider the photoreceptor defects, the worse the visual acuity.
ObjectiveTo observe the morphologic characteristics of drusen in atrophic age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). MethodsFifty-four patients (84 eyes) with macular drusen and atrophic AMD, and 56 age-matched control patients (56 eyes) with cataract were included in this study. Atrophic AMD patients were divided into two groups: D1 group with drusen involving the fovea (42 eyes) and D2 group with drusen not involving the fovea (42 eyes). The SD-OCT images in macular (6 mm×6 mm scans) were acquired, and the foveal retinal thickness (FRT) was measured. The size, morphology, inner reflection, homogeneity of drusen and its relationship with surrounding tissues were analyzed. ResultsThe FRT of D1 group, D2 group and control group were (160.90±38.47), (194.21±26.11), (222.42±19.29) μm respectively. The FRT of D1 group and D2 group were thinner than that of control group (F=57.08, P=0.00). Totally 1124 drusen were found by SD-OCT images in 84 eyes, with an average of 10.84 drusen in each eye. 3.0%, 12.5% and 84.5% of all 1124 drusen were small, medium and large sized respectively. 56.6%, 14.2%, 20.4% and 8.8% of all drusen were dome, pointed, saw-toothed and basal-shaped respectively. 17.1%, 57.5% and 25.4% of all drusen had low, medium and high internal reflectivity respectively. The internal reflectivity of 65.6%, 2.8% and 31.7% of all drusen were homogeneous, nonhomogeneous with core, and nonhomogeneous without core respectively. Overlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) damage and photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junction damage were presented in 34.5% and 24.8% drusen respectively. The most common type of drusen was dome-shape, homogeneous, with medium internal reflectivity, and without overlying RPE or IS/OS junction damage (81.0%). ConclusionsThe FRT becomes thinner in patients with drusen. The most common drusen types are dome-shaped, homogeneous, with medium internal reflectivity, and without overlying RPE or IS/OS junction damage.
ObjectiveTo compare the choroidal thickness (CT) of macular and peripapillary area among malignant glaucoma(MG), chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG) and normal control eyes. And to investigate the correlation between CT and MG. Methods Sixteen subjects (32 eyes) with MG, 31 (31 eyes) with CPACG and 32 (32 eyes) normal controls were collected. MG eyes and the fellow non-MG eyes were included in the MG group. CT of all subjects was measured in the fovea, 1mm and 3mm to the fovea and peripapillary area using enhanced-depth imaging technique of optical coherence tomography (OCT-EDI). The average of CT in fovea by horizontal and vertical macular scan was defined as the average CT in fovea. The average of temporal, superior, nasal and inferior CT in 1 mm and 3 mm to the fovea were measured respectively. The average of temporal, superior, nasal and inferior CT was defined as the average CT in peripapillary area. The differences of CT among MG, CPACG and normal controls were compared. And the differences of CT between MG eyes and the fellow non-MG eyes were compared. ResultsAfter eliminating the influence of age, the average CT of MG in the fovea, 1mm and 3mm to the fovea was significantly thicker than that of CPACG and normal controls (P < 0.05). And the average CT of CPACG in the fovea, 1mm and 3mm to the fovea was significantly thicker than that of normal controls (P < 0.05). In peripapillary area, the temporal, superior and inferior CT of MG was significantly thicker than that of CPACG and normal controls (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference of CT in peripapillary area between CPACG and normal controls (P > 0.05). In the fovea, 1mm and 3mm to the fovea and peripapillary area, there was no significant difference of CT between MG eye and the fellow non-MG eye in MG group (t=－1.029~－0.130, P > 0.05). ConclusionsThe choroid thickness of macular and peripapillary area in MG eyes is thicker than that of CPACG and the normal controls. An increased CT of macular and peripapillary area may be one of the risk factors for MG.
