ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics of 40 patients with ocular toxocariasis (OT) on the first attendance. MethodsA total of 40 consecutive patients who were clinically and serologically diagnosed with OT were retrospectively reviewed. ResultsThe mean age of patients was (12.12±10.42) years. There were 29 males and 11 females. 29 cases presented with decreased vision, 4 children with leukocoria, 2 cases with strabismus and 5 cases was found abnormal during regular eye examination. Initially 8 eyes (20%) were misdiagnosed as retinoblastoma (1 eye), Coat's disease(1 eye), cataract (2 eyes), iridocyclitis (2 eyes) and retinal detachment (2 eyes). 23 eyes had retinal detachment, 19 eyes had cataract. OT was the initial diagnosis for 15 patients (37.5%). The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were NLP to 0.7. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) were performed in 29 eyes, and identified peripheral granulomas in 23 eyes and adjacent tractional retinal detachment in 12 eyes. We also identified 17 cases (68.0%) with elevated IgE level among 25 patients with positive serological antibody test. ConclusionsTractional retinal detachment, vitreous opacities and cataract are the common clinical findings at the first attendance of OT patients. The adjunctive test of serum total IgE level may be helpful for the diagnosis. The application of UBM and specific IgG detection in serum and intraocular fluid, can also improve the diagnosis.

Objective To evaluate the changes of optic nerve head (ONH) and the thickness of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in patients with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods Circular and cross-sectional OCT scans of an area with a diameter of 3.38 mm surrounding the optic disc were performed for 108 eyes (96 cases) with NAION, including 96 eyes (96 cases) in acute edema phase and 41 eyes (37 cases) in resolving phase. Follow-up period was 2 weeks to 24 months, with an average of 6 months. Results The RNFL was thickener with shallow cup or small cups in the acute edema phase. Comparing with the RNFL in the ischemic sector, the thickness of peripapillary RNFL in the nonischemic sector was greater in 59 eyes (59 cases, 61%), lesser in 26 eyes (26 cases, 27%) and no difference in 11 eyes (11 cases, 12%). During the treatment NAION eyes were dynamically observed by OCT. While ischemic edema of the optic disc resolved in about two weeks, non-ischemic edema subsided in 3-6 weeks. After 1 month in the resolving phase, the thickness of peripapillary RNFL in the ischemic sector of 35 cases (95%) was thinner than the thickness of non-ischemic sector and fellow normal controls. After 3 month in the resolving phase, 26 cases (70%) showed thinner RNFL of whole optic disc. Conclusion The thickness of RNFL in NAION patients in acute edema phase is thicker than that in the fellow normal eyes, and is also thicker in ischemic sector than that in non-ischemic sector. In resolving phase, the thickness of RNFL is thinner in NAION eyes than that in the fellow normal eyes.
ObjectiveTo observe and analyze the clinical features and prognosis of endogenous klebsiella pneumoniae endophthalmitis (EKPE).MethodsThis is a retrospective case series study. Seven patients (8 eyes) with EKPE were enrolled in this study. There were 3 males (4 eyes) and 4 females (4 eyes). The ages were from 39 to 76 years, the mean age was 57.29 years. All these cases had no history of trauma and surgery. Meanwhile, they all had some risk factors, such as infection, diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus, liver abscess, renal insufficiency undergoing dialysis treatment, Hodgkin lymphoma and so on. All the eyes were undertaken visual acuity, slit lamp and fundus examination to observe the eye conditions. Seven eyes were undertaken pars plana vitrectomy with intravitreal injection of antibiotics from 2 days to 2 weeks after onset. And only one eye was undertaken intravitreal injection of antibiotics without surgery. Microbial stains and culture were performed for 7 eyes using vitreous and aqueous fluid samples from the procedures of vitrectomy. Meanwhile, culture and drug sensitive tests were performed from blood samples. According to the result of the drug sensitive tests, carbapenems such as imipenem and meropenem were used in each patient through intravenous injection from 1 to 2 weeks. During the follow up period from 3 days to 1 year, prognosis was observed at each office visit.ResultsFrom these eight eyes, presenting visual acuity was light perception (4 eyes), hand motion (3 eyes), 0.1 (1 eye). Hypopyon (6 eyes), aqueous fluid opacity (2 eyes) and diffuse vitreous opacity (8 eyes) were found. Changes in fundus like optic disc, macular edema and retinal vascular occlusion could be observed. Cultures of the vitreous and aqueous fluid samples from vitrectomy were all point out to klebsiella pneumoniae. At last office visit, the visual acuity of patients with hypopyon was no light perception (1 eye), light perception (1 eye), hand motion (1 eye). The visual acuity of patients without hypopyon was 0.05 (1 eye) and 0.5(1 eye). Finally, 1 eye was underwent enucleation and one patient with binocular disease was died of multiple organ failure.ConclusionsEKPE is almost unilateral attacked. Changes in fundus like optic disc, macular edema and retinal vascular occlusion can be observed. EKPE is commonly associated with poor visual outcomes. It is useful to save patients’ visual acuity by performing vitrectomy before hypopyon happened.
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by infection, with high fatality rate and complex pathogenesis. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential to improving the prognosis of patients with sepsis. This review briefly describes the basic pathogenesis of sepsis, and summarizes the current new technologies for detecting sepsis from two aspects: pathogen detection and host immune status detection, such as digital polymerase chain reaction, biosensors, fluorescent probes, single-cell RNA sequencing, and enzyme-linked immunospot assay. By comprehensively analyzing and applying these new techniques, it is helpful to improve the efficiency and accuracy of early diagnosis of sepsis and improve the clinical treatment effect of patients.
With the rapid development of ophthalmic imaging methods, there are many ways of examination in the diagnosis and treatment of fundus diseases, such as FFA, ICGA, FAF, OCT and emerging blood vessels by OCT angiography in recent years. Multi-model image can understand the changes of anatomical structure and function of different levels and parts of the fundus from different aspects. A variety of imaging examinations are combined and complemented each other, which makes us have a further understanding of the location and pathological changes of many fundus diseases. But at the same time, the emergence of multi-modal images also brings a series of problems. How to standardize the use of multi-modal imaging platform to better serve the clinic is a problem that ophthalmologists need to understand.
ObjectiveTo analyze the sensitivity and specificity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests in the detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in the diagnosis of patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), using aqueous humor samples. Methods25 AIDS patients (including 21 men and 4 women) were studied. The age of the patients varied from 24 to 59 years, with an average of (39.2±9.3) years. The CD4+ T cell count was from 1 to 523 cells/μl, with a medium of 40 cells/μl. They were infected with human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)for a period from 15 days to 9 years with a median of 10 months. They were divided into three groups according to the fundus and treatment, including untreated cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR), treated CMVR and control group. There were 10 patients without anti-CMV treatment and 7 patients treated previously with foscarnet or ganciclovir whose eyes were diagnosed CMVR. Control group has 8 patients who had normal fundus or minor retinopathy excluded from CMVR. Approximately 100 μl of aqueous humor was obtained by anterior-chamber paracentesis and PCR was performed in all cases. ResultsThere were CMV DNA in 9 of 10 eyes with untreated CMVR (90.0% sensitivity). Of 7 specimens from eyes with treated CMVR, 3 were CMV PCR positive (42.9% sensitivity). All 8 samples of the control group were negative for CMV DNA, indicating the clinical specificity of our PCR was greater than 99.9% for CMVR. The anterior chamber paracentesis did not cause any complications in our patients except for a patient with subconjunctival hemorrhage. ConclusionsThe assay had an estimated sensitivity of 90.0% in detecting untreated CMVR and a sensitivity of 42.9% in detecting CMVR that had been treated. The specificity of this assay was greater than 99.9%.
Objective To understand pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of metaplastic breast cancer (MBC), and to provide some new ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment, and exploration of scientific research for it. Method The relevant literatures of the latest research on MBC were reviewed and analyzed. Results At present, the pathogenesis of the MBC was still uncertain. The incidence of the MBC was lower, and it’s clinical manifestations were not specific. Compared with the invasive breast cancer, the tumor diameter was larger, the growth was faster, the differentiation degree was lower, the risks of the local and distant metastases were higher, while the lymph node metastasis was rare. Because of the clinical manifestation, auxiliary examination, and imaging examinations were lack of specificity, the diagnosis was difficult. Although the preoperative puncture could provide a reliable diagnosis evidence, it was difficult for distinguishing and accurate diagnosis due to it’s more subtypings. Some of the specific molecular targets could provide a help for it. At present, the modified radical mastectomy was often performed, the axillary lymph node metastasis was relatively rare in the MBC, so the sentinel lymph node biopsy was more important in the treatment of the MBC. The therapeutic effect was limited by the endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, or neoadjuvant chemotherapy and was poor by the systemic chemotherapy. Although the radiotherapy and chemotherapy could improve the overall survival and prolong the disease-free survival and control the local recurrence, the difference of it’s therapeutic effect was great due to the complex MBC typing. Conclusions MBC is a highly malignant and strongly invasive tumor, and it has more subtypings. Clinical manifestation and preoperative examination are lack of specificity, hence it is easy for misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. Unified treatment guideline is lack of, prognosis is poor. So, it needs to explore some new treatment methods and formulate standardized treatment guidelines in order to achieve a better therapeutic effect.
