  • Quantitative analysis of macular structure and microvascular changes in patients with diabetic macular ischemia

    ObjectiveTo observe the changes of macular structure and microvessels in eyes with diabetes macular ischemia (DMI). MethodsA retrospective case study. From January 2023 to July 2023, 23 patients of 31 eyes diagnosed with DMI at Tangshan Ophthalmological Hospital were included in this study. Among them, there were 14 males with 23 eyes; Female cases with 8 eyes. Age were (59.5±4.6) years old. According to the DMI grading standard formulated by the research group for early treatment of diabetes retinopathy, the patients were divided into mild DMI group, moderate DMI group, and severe DMI group, with 8, 12, and 11 eyes respectively. The blood flow density (VD), perfusion area (FA), small vessel VD (SVD), inner retinal capillary plexus VD, FA, and outer retinal, choroidal, and ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness within 1 mm of the macular fovea in retinal superficial vascular plexus (SVP)were measured using a scanning frequency light source optical coherence tomography instrument. The changes in macular structure and microvasculature in the affected eyes of different degrees of DMI groups were compared and observed. Inter group comparisons were conducted using one-way ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis H-test. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between DMI severity and GCC, outer retina, choroid thickness, VD, FA and SVP VD, SVD and FA in inner retina. ResultsThe GCC (F=70.670), outer retinal thickness (H=12.393), VD (F=105.506), SVD (H=25.300), FA (F=107.655), and VD (H=24.098) and FA (H=25.300) of the retinal SVP in the mild, moderate, and severe DMI groups were compared, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in choroidal thickness (H=2.441, P>0.05). Pairwise comparison between groups: VD, SVD, FA of GCC thickness and SVP, and VD of inner retina were statistically significant between severe DMI group and moderate DMI group, and between moderate DMI group and mild DMI group (P<0.05). The thickness of outer retina was statistically significant between severe DMI group and moderate DMI group (P<0.05). Inner retinal FA: there were statistically significant differences between severe DMI group, moderate DMI group and mild DMI group (P<0.05). The correlation analysis results showed that GCC (rs=-0.918), outer retinal thickness (rs=-0.448), and inner retinal VD (rs=-0.894) and FA (rs=-0.918), as well as VD (rs=-0.919), SVD (rs=-0.924), and FA (rs=-0.939) of retinal SVP, were all negatively correlated with the degree of DMI (P<0.05). There was no correlation between choroidal thickness and degree of DMI (rs=-0.081, P>0.05). ConclusionThe thickness of GCC, outer retina and choroid, the VD, SVD, and FA of the retinal SVP, the VD and FA of inner retina are all reduced in eyes with different degrees of DMI, while all of them are negatively correlated with the degree of DMI, except for choroid thickness.

  • Multimodal imaging features of tamoxifen retinopathy

    ObjectiveTo observe the multimodal imaging characteristics of tamoxifen retinopathy. MethodsA retrospective case study. From January 2019 to December 2021, 4 patients (8 eyes) with tamoxifen retinopathy diagnosed in Tangshan Eye Hospital were included in the study. All patients were female, with sick binoculus. The age was 59.5±4.6 years. After breast cancer resection, tamoxifen 20 mg/d was taken orally consecutively, including 1, 1, and 2 cases who took tamoxifen orally for 5, 7, and ≥10 years. All eyes were examined by fundus color photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography (OCTA), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and fundus autofluorescence (AF). The multi-mode image features of the fundus of the affected eyes were observed. ResultsThe yellow white dot crystal like material deposition in the macular area was observed in all eyes. In fundus AF examination, macular area showed patchy strong AF. FFA examination showed telangiectasia and fluorescein leakage in macular area at late stage. OCT showed that punctate strong reflexes could be seen between the neuroepithelial layers in the macular region with the formation of a space between the neuroepithelial layers, the interruption of the elliptical zone (EZ), and the formation of a hole in the outer lamella including 4, 5 and 3 eyes; The thickness of ganglion cells in macular region decreased in 7 eyes. OCTA showed that the blood flow density of the superficial retinal capillary plexus around the arch ring was decreased, and the retinal venules were dilated in 2 eyes; Deep capillary plexus (DCP) showed telangiectasia. ConclusionDeposition of yellowish white dot like crystals can be seen in the macular region of tamoxifen retinopathy; dotted strong reflex between neuroepithelial layers, cavity formation, thinning of ganglion cell layer, EZ middle fissure and outer lamellar fissure; DCP capillaries and venules around the arch were dilated; telangiectasia in macular region; flaky strong AF in macular region.
