Objective: To explore the effect of local anesthesia assisted with sedation and analgesia of low-dose propofol combined with remifentanil in adult strabismus surgery. Methods: This study was a prospective cohort study. Twenty-four adult patients who underwent strabismus surgery in Beijing Tongren Hospital from October 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021 were selected and divided into local anesthesia group, and sedation and analgesia group, eachwith 12 patients. All patients received local anesthesia with a mixture of 2% lidocaine 10 mL and 0.1% epinephrine 0.1 mL, and intravenous ondansetron 8 mg. Patients in the sedation and analgesia group received intravenous infusion of midazolam 1mg and sufentanil 5 μg, followed by continuous infusion of propofol 0.6–3 mg/(kg·h) and remifentanil 0.01~0.05 μg/(kg·min) to maintain Ramsay sedation score at grade II. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), bispectral index (BIS), operator’s satisfaction score, patient’s coordination score, nausea and vomiting, oculocardiac reflex, respiratory depression, blood pressure, heart rate and the infusion rate of propofol and remifentanil during operation were recorded in these two groups. Results: In the sedative and analgesic group, the infusion rates of propofol and remifentanil were 0.6–1.8 mg/(kg·h) and 0.01–0.03 μg/(kg·min), respectively. VAS, BIS and the incidence of increased heart rate in the sedation and analgesia group were lower than those in the local anesthesia group (P<0.05); operator’s satisfaction score and the incidence of decreased blood pressure in the sedation and analgesia group were higher than those in the local anesthesia group (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the incidence of intraoperative nausea and vomiting, oculocardiac reflex, respiratory depression, elevated blood pressure and patient’s coordination score between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: In adult strabismus surgery, local anesthesia assisted with sedation and analgesia of low-dose propofol combined with remifentanil can effectively relieve intraoperative pain, which is safe and reliable.

Objective: To evaluate the changes in corneal volume (CV) and the correlation of corneal biomechanics in adult myopic patients after small incision corneal lens extraction (SMILE) based on the new generation of Corvis^® ST.This paper further demonstrates the value of CV in evaluating corneal biomechanical properties after SMILE and predicting the outcome of refractive surgery. Methods: A total of 72 cases (72 eyes) of adult myopia who were scheduled for SMILE in The Second People’s Hospital of Foshan from January to August 2021 were included in this prospective observational case study. To avoid binocular correlation, a suitable eye for each person was selected for inclusion. Based on the preoperative central corneal thickness (CCT), the cases were divided into a low corneal thickness group (470–<530 μm), a medium corneal thickness group (530–<560 μm), and a high corneal thickness group (≥560 μm). The biomechanical intraocular pressure (bIOP), DA ratiomax (2 mm) (DA2ratio), integrated inverse concave radius (IR), Ambrósio’s relational thickness (ARTh), stiffness parameter applanation 1 (SP-A1),corvis biomechanical index (CBI) and stress-strain index (SSI) were measured by Corvis^® ST. The Pentacam anterior segment analysis system was used to measure partial CV and total CV with a diameter of 3, 5, and 7 mm from the top of the cornea, with an assumed diameter of 10 mm. The changes in corneal biomechanical parameters and CV before SMILE and 3 months after SMILE were compared. The correlation between corneal biomechanical parameters and CV was studied. Data were analyzed by paired and independent sample t-tests. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess the differences between the corneal thickness groups. Spearman correlation analysis and partial least squares linear regression (PLSLR) were used for correlation analyses. Results: Three months after SMILE, the CV in different areas (CV_3mm, CV_5mm, CV_7mm, and CV_10mm) were significantly lower than those before SMILE, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). The corneal biomechanical parameters bIOP, ARTh, SP-A1, and SSI were significantly decreased compared with those before the operation (P<0.05). In contrast, the DA2 ratio, IR, and CBI were significantly higher than those before the operation (P<0.05). A comparison of the corneal biomechanical parameters ARTh, SP-A1, DA2 ratio, IR, and CBI in the different corneal thickness groups before and after SMILE showed overall differences among the groups (P<0.05).However, there was no significant change in the SSI between the low and medium corneal thickness groups. The correlation of the preoperative baseline DA2ratio was negatively correlated with CV_3mm and CV_5mm, and positively correlated with CV_10mm; Conversely, ARTh was positively correlated with CV_3mm and CV_5mm, and negatively correlated with CV_10mm; BIOP was positively correlated with CV_10mm; IR was negatively correlated with CV_3mm and CV_5mm, and positively correlated with CV_10mm; SP-A1 was positively correlated with CV_3mm and CV_5mm, and negatively correlated with CV_10mm; CBI was negatively correlated with CV_3mm, CV_5mm, and CV_10mm, while SSI was positively correlated with CV_3mm and negatively correlated with CV_10mm (all P<0.05). At 3 months after SMILE, ARTh was positively correlated with CV_3mm and CV_5mm, and negatively correlated with CV_10mm; CBI was negatively correlated with CV_3mm, and positively correlated with CV_10mm (all P<0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that at 3 months after SMILE, CV_3mm, CV_5mm, CV_7mm, CV_10mm, intraocular pressure, and CCT in the central and peripheral areas decreased significantly compared with to those before the operation, and the more peripheral the area, the more the CV decreased. Three months after SMILE, the new corneal biomechanical parameters of the new generation Corvis^® ST changed significantly compared to those before the operation, and there was a certain correlation between CV in different regions and corneal biomechanical parameters. It is expected that CV in different regions after SMILE can characterize some changes in corneal biomechanical properties after SMILE, and CV may become a parameter factor for characterizing and predicting the development of corneal dilatation.

Objective: To investigate the anesthetic effect and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination application of esketamine and propofol in curettage of eyelid tumors of children. Methods: This study selected 70 children who underwent elective eyelid tumor curettage in Foshan Second People’s Hospital from November 2020 to July 2021. They were randomly divided into group A and group B, with 35 cases in each group. Patients in Group A were anesthetized with sevoflurane combined with propofol. Patients in Group B were anesthetized with esketamine combined with propofol. The anesthetic induction time, operation time, recovery time and total recovery time of the two groups were recorded. The haemodynamics and respiratory frequency changes of patients were being monitored before anesthesia, 5 minutes after anesthesia, before the operation and after the operation. The scores of Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS) pain, agitation and nausea and vomiting were recorded immediately after the patients awakened and were sent back to the ward. Results: There was no significant difference in anesthesia induction time between the two groups (P>0.05). There was also no significant difference in the haemodynamics and respiratory frequency changes during the anaesthetic process between the two groups (P>0.05). The recovery time and total recovery time in group B were significantly lower than those in group A (P<0.05). The scores of CHEOPS pain, agitation and nausea and vomiting in group B were significantly lower than those in group A immediately after the patients awakened and were sent back to the ward (P<0.05). Besides, the probability of nausea and vomiting after curettage of eyelid tumors was lower in group B than in group A (P<0.05). Conclusion: Combination application of esketamine and propofol in curettage of eyelid tumors of children can provide good anesthetic and analgesic effect and reduce the occurrence of restlessness, nausea and vomiting.

Objective: To select the appropriate airway management mode for children under general anesthesia by comparing the application of laryngeal mask and endotracheal intubation in pediatric ophthalmology. Methods: A total of 86 children who underwent ophthalmic general anesthesia surgery in our hospital in June 2019 and April 2021 were selected as the study subjects, and the tracheal catheter or laryngeal mask was placed after induction of general nesthesia, and the group of 43 cases were divided into intubation group and laryngeal mask group. Volumecontrolled ventilation is performed after induction of anesthesia after insertion of a tracheal catheter or laryngeal mask. Heart rate and mean arterial pressure were detected by retrospectively collecting anesthesia records alone before anesthesia induction (T0), after anesthesia induction (T1), when a tracheal catheter or laryngeal mask was inserted (T2), at the beginning of surgery (T3), at the end of surgery (T4), and when the laryngeal mask or tracheal catheter was removed (T5). As well as the average airway pressure and end-expiratory CO2 partial pressure at 5, 10, and 20 min after intubation. The number of endotracheal intubations or laryngeal hoods, the occurrence of cough during awakening, and agitation in each patient was queried according to the anesthesia record. The timing of anesthesia, the first success rate of catheterization/laryngeal mask, the time of extubation/uncommissioning, the time of spontaneous breathing recovery, and the time of anesthesia resuscitation were compared between the 2 groups. The occurrence of complications (choking cough, agitation) in both groups of patients was observed. Results: At T2, T3 and T5, the heart rate in the intubation group was significantly higher than that in the laryngeal mask group (P<0.05), and at T2, T3, T4 and T5, the mean arterial pressure in the intubation group was significantly higher than that in the laryngeal mask group(P<0.05). At 5, 10, and 20 min after intubation, the mean airway pressure in the intubation group was higher than that in the laryngeal mask group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the partial pressure of CO2 at the end of expiratory breath at different time points between the 2 groups (P<0.05). The incidence of choking cough and agitation during anesthesia resuscitation in the laryngeal mask group was significantly lower than that in the intubation group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The laryngeal mask has the advantages of simple operation and less stimulation of the airway, and when used for pediatric ophthalmic general anesthesia, it has less hemodynamic effect, low airway responsiveness and fewer complications, and is worth promoting in clinical practice

Exfoliation glaucoma is a category of glaucoma secondary to exfoliation syndrome, which is rarely encountered in clinical practice. We reported 2 cases with deposits of white material on the pupillary border of the iris. Opacity band could be observed surrounding the anterior lens capsule after pupil dilation, and the Sampaolesi line was seen under gonioscope. Understanding the clinical characteristics contribute to improving the diagnosis and treatment of exfoliation glaucoma.

Objective: To observe the eye position, the incidence of eye movement and the efficacy of propofol on correcting eccentric eyeball position in children undergoing examination of outpatient fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) with inhaled sevoflurane via laryngeal mask airway. Methods: Children undergoing FFA with sevoflurane anesthesia from June 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Eye position at the beginning of examination, incidence of eye movement during examination, the efficiency of propofol on correcting eccentric eyeball position during procedure, the time to resume normal activities, and adverse events were recorded. Results: Fifty-four children aged 1–9 years were included in this study. The rates of eye position from grade one to grade three at the beginning of examination were 42.6% (23/54), 51.9% (28/54), and 5.6% (3/54), respectively. The incidence of eye movement during examination was 61.1% (33/54). 13% (7/54) of children with unsatisfactory eye-position needed intervention with propofol. The efficacy of propofol (1 mg/kg) in correcting eye position was 100%. The mean time to return normal activities was 24.4 min. There were no any adverse events during the peri-anesthetic period. Conclusion: Inhaled sevoflurane via LMA can provide appropriate anesthesia for outpatient FFA in children. Children can resume daily activities soon after anesthesia. Propofol can return the incorrect eye position during examination

The challenge of pediatric ophthalmic anesthesia is how to balance the safety and efficiency of ophthalmic surgery. Careful pre-operative evaluation and preparation can effectively reduce potential complications during pediatric ophthalmic anesthesia. During the preoperative assessment, it’s necessary to gather information, perform a full physical examination, take required laboratory tests or consultations with specialties, and deliver appropriate information and consent to increase the safety of pediatric ophthalmic anesthesia

Lens-induced glaucoma (LIG) is a kind of secondary glaucoma caused by lens proteins or anatomic abnormality of the lens. Based on the pathogenesis, LIG is classified as phacolytic glaucoma, lens-particle induced glaucoma, phacoanaphylactic glaucoma, phacomorphic glaucoma, pupillary block glaucoma. The angle may be open or closed. High-molecular-weight lens protein, release of lens particles, and pupillary block, increase in the volume of the cataractous lens are the mechanisms of glaucoma. Its pathogensis includes intumescent cataracts, mature senile cataract, hyper-mature senile cataracts, surgery and trauma in eyes, and dislocation of lens. The epidemiology varies across developed and developing countries. The common symptom includes diminution of vision, redness of the eye, and unilateral eye pain. It can cause glaucomatous irreversible visual impairment. Ocular ultrasonography is helpful for its diagnosis. Differential diagnosis includes acute angle-closure glaucoma, ciliary block glaucoma, supra-choroidal hemorrhage, post-traumatic or postoperative endophthalmitis. The management is the removal of inciting lenticular matter to control intraocular pressure

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. It is mainly characterized by the involvement of the optic nerve, spinal cord and brain. The disease is prone to relapse and has a high rate of blindness and disability, which seriously threatens human vision and health. At present, the etiology of NMSOD is not clear, and the existing treatment schemes can’t completely cure NMOSD. Animal models are important tools to explore its pathogenesis and pathophysiological characteristics. NMOSD animals were mainly established on the basis of anti-aquaporin 4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG), including destroying or bypassing the blood-brain barrier and passively transferring AQP4-IgG or AQP4 specific T cells. At present, no animal model can completely simulate the clinical and pathological characteristics of human NMOSD. Therefore, it is important to select appropriate animal models for the study. This article reviews various animal models of NMOSD in recent years, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various models, in order to provide references for the study of the progress and treatment of NMOSD.
