Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common and socially significant complications of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Predicting the probability of DR progression and potential diabetic macular edema (DME) development is still important. Currently available predictive models include a wide number of predictors, and such predictors as blood selectin levels seem to be promising.\u0000\u0000Purpose: To determine relationships between blood levels of selectins and DR progression and DME development in patients with T2DM, and to develop particular predictive models.\u0000\u0000Material and Methods: Of the 124 patients (124 eyes) involved into this study, 95 (95 eyes) had T2DM and retinopathy (group 1 of 29 eyes with mild non-proliferative DR (NPDR); group 2 of 35 eyes with moderate or severe non-proliferative NPDR; and group 3 of 31 eyes with proliferative DR (PDR)), and 29 (29 eyes) had no diabetes (controls). Patients underwent a routine eye examination and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to determine central retinal thickness (CRT). The presence of DME was based on an increased macular thickness in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) subfields compared to the upper limit of normal for patient's age and gender. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits from Invitrogen Thermo Fisher Scientific (USA) were used to determine selectin levels in blood. Statistical analyses were conducted using MedStat and MedCalc v.15.1 (MedCalc Software bvba) software.\u0000\u0000Results: There was a statistically significant tendency for an increase in progression of DR to be accompanied by an increase in blood selectin levels. In the presence of DME, blood LS levels were statistically significantly increased in mild NPDR; blood PS levels, in PDR; and blood ES levels, in all stages of DR. A regression model for predicting the progression of DR was built. In the model developed, diabetes duration and blood selectin levels were positively correlated, while HbA1c level was inversely correlated with DR progression. The model was found to be adequate R2adjust = 0.84; F = 97.9, p less 0.001, demonstrating high correlation of the selected independent variables with the stage of DR. The calculated Y index may be considered a quantitative reflection of the severity of DR. A patient is predicted to have mild NPDR (with a prediction accuracy of 86.2%) if Y less 1.5, moderate of severe NPDR (with a prediction accuracy of 88.6%) if 1.5 less equal Y less 2.35, and PDR (with a prediction accuracy of 100%) if Y more equal 2.35. A regression model for predicting the development of DME was built, with CRT and blood ES level found to increase the risk of the development of DME. A high AUC value for the ROC curve (AUC = 0.97; 95% CI, 0.92-0.99) indicated a very strong correlation of the risk of DME development with the levels of selected independent variables.

Of these, 65 underwent surgery for macular-on RRD (group 1) and 51, surgery for macular-off RRD (group 2). OCTA-based retinal vasculature parameters (foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, parafoveal superficial capillary plexus (SCP) density and deep capillary plexus (DCP) density, vessel diameter, and vessel tortuosity index (VTI)) and their correlation with BCVA were assessed.

These endogenous protective mechanisms are capable of improving the resistance of retinal cells to adverse factors and can be triggered by brief episodes of different subthreshold stimuli (ischemia, photobiomodulation, hypothermia, etc.) preceding a subsequent more sustained injury, a process which is called preconditioning. Results of years of laboratory and clinical studies have demonstrated amazing cardiac protection and cerebral protection opportunities from preconditioning. Although the results of in vivo preclinical studies of retinal conditioning are promising, the benefits from the found effects of preconditioning on the protection of the human retina are still to be assessed. The overview presented highlights some aspects of the research and use of protective effects of preconditioning in various fields of medicine. The results of laboratory studies of endogenous mechanisms of retinal cell protection are discussed herein, along with our recommendations for prospective areas of future use of the effects in cinical ophthalmology for retinal protection.","PeriodicalId":19419,"journal":{"name":"Oftalmologicheskii zhurnal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48462240","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}

Global assessment and precise follow-up of posterior uveitis were achieved with the development of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) since the mid-1990ties that, together with FA, made it possible to perform dual FA and ICGA giving information on both the retina and the choroidal compartment. Further non-invasive imaging methods were developed subsequently that contributed to additional valuable information completing the dual FA/ICGA basic appraisal of uveitis, including (1) optical coherence tomography (OCT) giving a quasi-histological morphology of retinal structures of the posterior pole, (2) enhanced-depth imaging OCT (EDI-OCT) allowing to image the choroidal compartment and (3) blue light fundus autofluorescence (BAF) showing the integrity or damage of the retinal pigment epithelium, the photoreceptors and the outer retina. OCT-angiography (OCT-A) became available more recently and presented the advantage to image the retinal and choroidal circulations without needing dye injections, necessary for dual FA/ICGA. This review article will illustrate the principles, relevance and practical applications of these different imaging methods used in uveitis by examining the main categories of non-infectious posterior uveitis entities including (1) retinal inflammatory disorders, inflammatory diseases of the outer retina and of the choriocapillaris (choriocapillaritis) and stromal choroiditis.","PeriodicalId":19419,"journal":{"name":"Oftalmologicheskii zhurnal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43166884","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}

Матеріал і методи. На базі відділу запальної патології ока й лабораторії функціональних методів дослідження органу зору ДУ «Інститут очних хвороб і тканинної терапії ім. В. П. Філатова НАМНУ» обстежено 57 пацієнтів з НЗН невизначеної етіології. Пацієнти поряд із клінічним офтальмологічним обстеженням пройшли реоофтальмографію, реоенцефалографію на комп’ютерному комплексі Реоком (Харків). Результати. Гострота зору (ГЗ) за найкращої корекції у хворих при виході НЗН з ураженням зони макули була знижена у 2–3 рази порівняно з гострим і затяжним періодами перебігу НЗН. Прямий кореляційний зв’язок між ГЗ та об’ємним пульсовим кровонаповненням ока (RQ, ‰) становив r=0,24 (р<0,05), зворотний кореляційний зв’язок ГЗ з наявністю ускладнень як наслідків НЗН – r=-0,35 (р<0,05). RQ в гострий період НЗН був вищий на 15,5% порівняно з контрольною групою й вищим порівняно з переходом НЗН у часткову атрофію зорового нерва (ЧАЗН) та НЗН з ураженням зони макули на 35% і 31% відповідно. RQ в групі ЧАЗН був нижчим за контроль на 23,6%, що відображає реґіонарний ішемічний процес.

Об’ємне пульсове кровонаповнення судин головного мозку в басейні внутрішньої сонної артерії за показником РІ (%) у гострий період НЗН відповідало нормі, а в затяжний період і період завершення НЗН збільшувалося на 44 %. Еластотонічні властивості великих судин по всіх басейнах головного мозку за показником α (%) у гострий період відповідали нормі, після завершення невриту з ускладненнями значно підвищувалися в середньому на 15%.
