The mice in low-dose chloroquine group were intraperitoneally injected with chloroquine solution at a dose of 10 mg/kg daily. Mice in high-dose chloroquine group were intraperitoneally injected with chloroquine solution at a dose of 100 mg/kg, and the mice in control group were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of PBS. NMDA intravitreal injection was performed 2 days after intraperitoneal injection, 5 nmoles NMDA was injected into the left eye, and the same volume of PBS was injected into the right eye as a control. The RGC staining of retinal plaques were performed 7 days after NMDA injection, and the number of alive RGC was calculated. The visual acuity and electroretinogram were used to evaluate the electrophysiological functions of RGC at 9 and 10 days after modeling. Real-time quantitative PCR and retinal frozen sections and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunofluorescence staining were performed 11 days after NMDA injection to evaluate the glial activation of the retina. The density, visual acuity, and the amplitude of PhNR-wave of RGC between groups were compared by one-way analysis of variance. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000At 7 days after NMDA injection, the density of RGC in retinal patch of low-dose chloroquine group was significantly higher than that of intraperitoneal injection of PBS control group (F=54.41, P 0.05). The visual acuity was higher than control group, and the difference was statistically significant (F=9.10, P<0.05). The amplitude of PhNR-wave was significantly higher in low-dose chloroquine group than that of the control group (F=17.60, P<0.01). The mRNA level of inflammatory factor and GFAP positive signal was also significantly lower than that of the control group (F=23.66, P<0.05). The amplitude of PhNR-wave, the expression of GFAP (F=110.20, P<0.01) and the mRNA level of inflammatory factors (F=167.60, 17.78; P<0.01) in the high-dose chloroquine group were higher than the other two groups, and the differences were statistically significant. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusions \u0000In NMDA injury retinal model, low-dose chloroquine significantly increased the survival and physiological function of RGC, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of glial activation and inflammatory response.

Early pregnancy is an important period for fetal organ formation and vascular development. Studies have proved that VEGF plays an important role in maintaining the fetal and placental vascular system, and its loss or decline will affect embryonic development and lead to abortion. The use of intravitreal anti-VEGF during pregnancy is controversial, which may cause systemic side effects to the mother and fetus. This paper summarizes the literature of 23 cases on the use of anti-VEGF during pregnancy. Three cases reported loss of pregnancy with concomitant exposure to intravitreal bevacizumab, which suggested that we should be careful about the use of anti-VEGF during pregnancy and explain the possibility of ocular and systemic side effects to patients in detail. When deciding whether to use anti-VEGF, we should consider the relationship between exposure time and the critical period of vascular development and the systemic exposure of different drugs. Currently, there is a lack of large sample size studies on the use of anti-VEGF in pregnancy, and its safety needs to be further observed. \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Pregnant women; Angiogenesis inhibitors/adverse effects; Review","PeriodicalId":10103,"journal":{"name":"中华眼底病杂志","volume":"36 1","pages":"323-326"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42614427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And on the cross-sectional image, DONFL was correspond to inner retinal dimples. It mainly occurs after the internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling due to the direct damage on the local retina and the broad tractional effect on the posterior retina during membrane peeling. DONFL appearance is considered to be a spontaneous and delayed morphologic change with a subclinical nature, and appears to have little effect on retinal function. In addition to avoiding the removal of ILM and reducing the area of ILM peeling, a novel technique for reposition of the fixed ILM flap with the assistance of perfluoro-n-octane and the temporal inverted ILM flap technique can also be used to prevent and reduce the occurrence of DONFL appearance. Further studies on its development, clinical features and clinical significance are still required. \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Retinal diseases/surgery; Vitreoretinal surgery; Review; Optic nerve fiber layer","PeriodicalId":10103,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases","volume":"36 1","pages":"327-332"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49081763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There were 35 males (59.3%) and 24 females (40.7%); aged from 50 to 72 years, with an average age of 62.86±6.10 years. There were 23 patients of right occipital cerebral infarction and 36 patients of left occipital cerebral infarction. Lesions involved 41 patients in the striated area, 8 patients involved the occipital pole, and 23 patients involved visual radiation. All patients underwent standard medical treatment. All patients underwent visual field examination before treatment, and modified rankin scale (mRS) was used to evaluate the level of visual disability after cerebral infarction. At 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment,54 patients underwent at least one visual field examination in outpatient or inpatient follow-up visits, and 5 patients were lost to follow-up; 49 patients received repeated mRS scores. The visual field defect and mRS score of patients before and after treatment were compared and analyzed. The improvement of visual field defect in the horizontal direction exceeding 10°or the vertical direction exceeding 15°was defined as improvement, otherwise it was defined as no improvement. According to the type of visual field defect, the patients were divided into two groups: complete homonymous hemianopia and incomplete homonymous hemianopia. The cumulative visual field improvement rate of the two groups of patients was calculated. An mRS score of 0 to 2 was defined as a good prognosis, and >2 was defined as a poor prognosis. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000Before treatment, of the 59 patients, 47 were complete homonymous hemianopsia and 12 were incomplete. Of the 47 patients with complete homonymous hemianopia, 26 patients had hemianopia on the right side of both eyes, 21 patients had hemianopia on the left side of both eyes; 32 patients with macular avoidance (72.3%). Among the 12 patients of incomplete homonymous hemianopia, 10 patients of quadrant blindness included 6 patients of upper quadrant and 4 patients of lower quadrant; 2 patients of partial isotropic hemianopia on one side. Of the 54 patients reviewed after treatment, the visual field improved at the last follow-up of 25 patients (46.3%), and there was no improvement in 29 patients (53.7%). The cumulative visual field improvement rate of 47 patients with complete hemianopia hemianopia before treatment was 37.2% (16/43). The cumulative visual field improvement rate of 11 patients with incomplete isotropic hemianopia before treatment was 81.8% (9/11). There was a statistically significant difference in cumulative visual field improvement between the two groups of patients (χ2 = 7.011, P<0.05).
