The research involved 60 patients aged 40 to 60 years, including 30 patients with suspected AION and 30 patients with suspected ON. The control group consisted of 40 healthy volunteers. In addition to the standard ophthalmological examination, all patients underwent ultrasound optic nerve s examination with measurement of the optic nerve thickness and acoustic density (AD) of the parenchyma and optic nerve sheets. Assessment of blood flow in retrobulbar vessels was carried out in the modes of Color Doppler Imaging and pulse dopplerography.Results. There were no statistically significant differences in average echographic parameters of the optic nerve s thickness between the groups of patients with AION and ON. In patients with ON there was a statistically significant decrease in the average AD index compared to that in patients with AION and in healthy volunteers (106.02 ± 5.40 y. e., 146.58 ± 9.70 y.e. and 135.3 ± 2.1 y. e., accordingly). The AD values in all patients with AION exceeded 133 y. e., in patients with ON this index was less than 132 y. e. Evaluation of hemodynamic parameters in the vessels of the eye demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in the peak systolic velocity (Vsyst) and end-diastolic velocity (Vdiast) blood flow in the central retinal artery and medial and lateral short posterior ciliary arteries in patients with AION (in 2-fold) compared with ON and normal indices (p < 0.001). There were no statistically significant differences between parameters of blood flow in patients with ON and in healthy volunteers. In addition, there were no significant intergroup differences of hemodynamic parameters of the ophthalmic artery (p > 0.05).Conclusions. AD of the optic nerve and parameters of blood flow velocities (Vsyst and Vdiast) in medial and lateral short posterior ciliary arteries can be attributed to the diagnostic criteria of the AION and ON.","PeriodicalId":36080,"journal":{"name":"Rossiiskii Oftal''mologicheskii 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":"49366779","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}

The dynamics of α2-MG was assessed in the tear of 56 patients, and in BS of 53 patients. α2-MG activity was determined by the enzymatic method using the specific substrate N-benzoyl-DL-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA). The optical density was measured using a multifunctional photometer for Synergy MX microplates (BioTek, USA).Results. No correlation was found between the α2-MG activity and the inflammation activity and localization of uveitis. In contrast, a significant decrease in α2-MG activity was found in the tear after anti-inflammatory therapy (p = 0.013). Also, a significant preoperative α2-MG increase was noted in the tear of children who experienced fibrin effusion into the anterior chamber of the eye in the early postoperative period (p = 0.022) It was shown that α2-MG activity in BS drops significantly as the patients grow up (p = 0.025). As the degree of proliferation increases, the activity of α2-MG in AH also increases (p = 0.049).Conclusion. An increase of α2-MG activity in the tears in the preoperative period may be important for the prognosis of fibrin formation in the anterior chamber during the postoperative period. α2-MG in the tear is highly sensitive to anti-inflammatory drugs, which reduce its activity. In BS the highest activity of α2-MG was revealed at the age of 3–6 years, whereupon it is decreasing. In AH, the activity of α2-MG correlates with the stage of the proliferative process.","PeriodicalId":36080,"journal":{"name":"Rossiiskii Oftal''mologicheskii 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":"48773406","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}

The testing clinical group was represented by 131 examples (131 eyes), of which 110 eyes belonged to patients with POAG and 21 eyes were without glaucoma. The final diagnostic testing using ANW was conducted on 328 eyes with the diagnosis unknown to the researchers, which belonged to people with suspected POAG. The diagnostic complex included an optimally necessary set of research techniques.Results. ANW identified glaucoma in 198 eyes out of those with suspected glaucoma (60.4 %) with 100 % certainty. 76 eyes (23.2 %) were classified as non-glaucoma, or “healthy”; 54 eyes of the suspected glaucoma patients were identified as “doubtful”, whereupon they were retested by a neural network pool consisting of 5 neural networks. According to the results of the retesting, 28 eyes, or 51.9 % of the “doubtful” ones were identified as having glaucoma, whereas 26 eyes (48.1 %) were identified as non-glaucomatous, i. e. healthy.Conclusion.

Retrospectively, the infants were divided into 2 groups: those without ROP (n = 15) and those with developed ROP (n = 19). The average gestational age of those without ROP was 28.12 ± 0.64 weeks, their average body weight at birth was 1164 ± 118.6 g.

We established that the systemic AT-II level has a trigger role in the development of ROP.

A retrospective analysis of case histories and outpatient charts of 70 patients (70 eyes) with NVG, operated in a surgical hospital, involved two groups of patients: group 1 — 33 eyes of patients treated for the underlying disease with anti-VEGF therapy and/or LC; of these, 13 eyes (39 %) received panretinal LC, 15 eyes (45 %) received an anti-VEGF drug intravitreally, and 5 eyes (16 %) received both anti-VEGF therapy and LC); group 2 — 37 eyes of patients not treated for the underlying disease. In group 1, NVG was caused by diabetic retinopathy (DR), which accounted for 19 eyes (57.6 %), and post-thrombotic retinopathy (PR) — 14 eyes (42.3 %). IOP data in group 1 at admission was 38.00 ± 6.82 mm Hg. In group 2, the proportion of patients with DR was 32 % (12 eyes), and those with PR — 41 % (15 eyes).

In group 1, in most cases, the classical surgical approach to NVG treatment was used. The proportion of Ahmed drainage implantations was 46 % (15 eyes), trabeculectomy (TET) — 24 % (8 eyes), non-penetrating sinustrabeculectomy (NST) — 6 % (2 eyes), and only 24 % (8 eyes) received transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (CPC).
