简介：90D裂隙灯显微镜前置镜是双凸透镜（图1），检查时是利用裂隙灯较强光源，检查时所获的眼底图像立体感好，可以很清楚地显示视盘小凹，血管变异，黄斑裂孔或囊肿，视网膜裂孔，眼内占位等病变，并且由于检查过程中不接触角膜，

简介：日益增长的白内障盲表明目前白内障手术数量还远远低于清除白内障积存数及服务新发病人的要求。经济状况越好,文化程度越高,对视力的要求也会越强烈,病人也会更早地要求实施白内障手术。老年人口的增加也会使得白内障手术的需求成倍增加。即使在印度,白内障手术率(CSR)高达每百万人口3250例,白内障手术率仍然需要提高2-3倍,才能有效地解决白内障盲的问题。在很多国家,白内障手术率甚至要提高10倍才能解决问题。增加白内障手术服务本身就是一个极大的挑战。同样具有挑战的是保证服务的质量。这需要不断增加的资源(扩充容量)及最大限度地使用现有资源(提高效率)。本文中讨论在现有服务制度下,如何扩充容量,提高效率,这正是很多地方所需要的。

简介：目的观察1,25（OH）2D3对高糖诱导牛视网膜血管内皮细胞（BRECs）中血管内皮生长因子（VEGF）的表达水平变化及对细胞凋亡水平的影响。方法将分离培养的BRECs分为三组,分别为正常糖组、高糖组和高糖处理组。正常对照组细胞培养液含5mmol/L葡萄糖,高糖组细胞培养液含30mmol/L葡萄糖,高糖处理组细胞培养液含30mmol/L葡萄糖和50nM,1,25（OH）2D3。培养48h后收集细胞蛋白。蛋白免疫印迹法检测细胞VEGF及细胞凋亡相关蛋白Bax和Bcl-2表达水平;PI/Hoechst双染色法检测细胞凋亡。结果相比于正常糖组,高糖组中VEFG水平和Bax/Bcl-2比值显著增加;而在高糖处理组中表达水平远远低于高糖组,差异均有统计学意义（P〈0.05）。高糖的细胞凋亡水平高于正常糖组,而经过1,25（OH）2D3处理后,其细胞凋亡水平则有所下降,差异均有统计学意义（P〈0.05）。结论1,25（OH）2D3可以抑制高糖诱导BRECs中VEGF表达增加及细胞凋亡。
