Color Doppler imaging (CDI) was carried out to evaluate the anesthetics effect on ophthalmic circulation using CDI-derived resistive index (RI) values. CDI was preformed on 24 dogs, and RI values were calculated for the medial long posterior ciliary artery (mLPCA) and ophthalmic artery (OA) before and after administration of anesthetics. After administration of benoxinate or acepromazine, a significant change of the mLPCA RI was not found. But, a significant decrease of the RI following ketamine (p < 0.001) or xylazine (p < 0.01) administration could be observed as compared with the self-control. Mean RI value of OA also showed this same trend. Intraocular pressure was significantly decrease following benoxinate (p < 0.01), acepromazine (p < 0.01), and xylazine (p < 0.001) administration within normal range. The results suggest that some anesthetics influence on ophthalmic vascular resistance. Therefore, chemical restraint was carefully used in clinical application of CDI-derived RI measurement. Particularly, benoxinate and acepromazine is useful chemical restraint without a change of the ophthalmic vascular resistance.

Objective : Acupuncture has been used for treating eye disease for thousands of years but there are few evidence based medicine (EBM) for its use. This study is a review of Clinical trials related to the treatment of eye disease by acupuncture therapy. Methods : We referred a Pubmed site by using searching word of "eye, acupuncture" (Limits: 10 Year, Clinical Trials, Humans, English). Results : Eight journals with twelve papers were searched. Eight of these studies were randomized and ten trials of acupuncture treatments reported significant effect. On the topic of these clinical trials, five of them were about dry eyes, four about disorder of refraction, two about intraocular pressure and one about visual function. The result of clinical studies represented the significant cure rate. Conclusion : We found that RCTs about the acupucnture for eye diseases were more and more published. But their average impact factor was 2.16 and average modified Jadad score was 3.89, so there needs more qualifying studies.

A 13-year-old spayed female Beagle dog was referred with high intraocular pressure, hyperemia, and exophthalmos of the left eye and underwent ultrasound, which revealed a mass in the ciliary body of the left eye. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was ordered to evaluate invasion of surrounding structures and metastasis to the brain via the optic nerve. On MR imaging, a single, well-defined, smoothly marginated, triangular-to-oval-shaped mass was found. The mass was hyperintense on T1-weighted images and hypointense on T2-weighted images, similar to a previous case of ocular melanoma. The mass originated from the ciliary body and extended from the anterior chamber to the posterior chamber. Slight enhancement was observed in the mass. There was no evidence of invasion into surrounding structures or the optic nerve, and no sign of metastasis to the brain. The mass was histopathologically diagnosed as benign uveal melanocytoma.

We described a clinical, laboratory, and genetic presentation of a pathogenic variant of the CYP1B1 gene through a report of a case of primary congenital glaucoma and a trio analysis of this candidate variant in the family with the Sanger sequencing method and eventually completed our study with the secondary/incidental findings. This study reports a rare case of primary congenital glaucoma, an 8-year-old female child with a negative family history of glaucoma and uncontrolled intraocular pressure. This case's whole-exome sequencing data analysis presents a homozygous pathogenic single nucleotide variant in the CYP1B1 gene (NM_000104:exon3:c.G1103A:p.R368H). At the same time, this pathogenic variant was obtained as a heterozygous state in her unaffected father but not her mother. The diagnosis was made based on molecular findings of whole-exome sequencing data analysis. Therefore, the clinical reports and bioinformatics findings supported the relation between the candidate pathogenic variant and the disease. However, it should not be forgotten that primary congenital glaucoma is not peculiar to the CYP1B1 gene. Since the chance of developing autosomal recessive disorders with low allele frequency and unrelated parents is extraordinary in offspring. However, further data analysis of whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing method were applied to obtain the type of mutation and how it was carried to the offspring.

녹내장으로 수술적 치료가 필요한 무수정체안과 인공수정체안 환자들에게서 Mitomycin C(MMC)를 사용한 섬유주절제술을 시행하고 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 1994년 5월부터 2002년 2월까지 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 안과에서 무수정체안과 인공수정체안에 녹내장 치료로 MMC의 국소접촉법을 이용한 섬유주 절제술을 시행하고 6개월 이상 추적관찰 가능 하였던 45명 51안을 대상으로 녹내장의 유형, 기왕의 안수술, 백내장수술의 종류, 수정체 후낭의 상태, 인공수정체 유뮤에 따른 성공률과 수술 실패의 위험인자 및 합병증 등을 의무기록을 바탕으로 후향적으로 조사하였다. 수술 성공 여부의 기준은 술 후 안압하강제 사용에 관계없이 술 후 최종 안압이 21 mmHg이하이며 시력상실이 없는 경우를 성공으로 판정하였다. MMC를 사용한 일차 섬유주절제술 후 평균 관찰 기간은 27.7개월이었으며 수술 성공률은 70.6%(36안/51안)이었다. Kaplan-Meier 생존분석을 이용한 누적 성공률은 3개월에 98.0%, 6개월에 94.1%, 12개월에 91.9%, 24개월에 83.4%, 36개월에 75.5%로서 보고된 고식적 섬유주 절제술의 성공률보다 높았다. 술 전 안압이 30mmHg 미만으로 낮았던 환자들과 이전 백내장 수술을 제외한 안 수술의 기왕력이 없었던 환자들에게 의미있게 수술 성공률이 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 술 후 합병증으로는 전방출혈과 맥락막박리가 각 4안에서, 저안압이 3안, 그리고 얕은 전방과 안내염이 각 1안에서 발생하였다. 결론적으로 무수정체안과 인공수정체안의 녹내장에서 MMC 섬유주절제술은 기존 보고된 방수유출장치술의 수술 성공률에 비해 낮지 않으면서도 합병증이 적다는 점에서 방수유출장치삽입술에 앞서 우선적으로 선택할 수 있는 유용한 수술 방법이라고 생각된다.

목적: 원발개방각녹내장 환자에서 섬유주절제술과 백내장수술을 동시에 시행하는 경우 술 후 예측 굴절력의 정확성을 분석하고, 굴절력 오차에 영향을 미치는 요소에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 대상과 방법: 섬유주절제술과 백내장수술을 동시에 시행한 원발개방각녹내장 환자 27명을 대상으로 후향적으로 분석하였다. 술 후 예측 굴절력과 실제 굴절력을 비교하였으며 평균예측오차와 평균절대예측오차를 계산하였다. 같은 시기에 백내장수술만 단독 시행한 나이와 성별이 짝지어지는 대조군과 굴절력 오차를 비교하였다. 또한 굴절력 오차에 영향을 미치는 환자의 수술 전 인자들에 대하여 통계학적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 술 후 평균예측오차는 섬유주절제술과 백내장수술의 병합수술군에서 $+0.02{\pm}0.92$디옵터, 대조군에서 $-0.01{\pm}0.45$디옵터로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 평균절대예측오차는 병합수술군에서 $0.65{\pm}0.64$디옵터, 대조군에서 $0.35{\pm}0.28$디옵터로, 술 후 난시는 병합수술군에서 $-1.07{\pm}0.65$디옵터, 대조군에서 $-0.66{\pm}0.48$디옵터로 병합수술군에서 유의하게 높았다(p=0.035, p=0.020). 술 전 앞방깊이, 술 후 안압 변화가 부정확한 평균절대예측오차와 유의한 연관성을 보였다. 결론: 원발개방각녹내장 환자에서 섬유주절제술과 백내장수술을 동시에 시행하는 경우 술 후 예측 굴절력의 정확성이 떨어지고, 더 큰 난시를 유발하는 것으로 나타났다. 술 전 얕은 앞방깊이, 술 후 큰 안압 변화가 굴절력 오차를 증가시키므로 이를 고려하여야 하겠다.

본 연구에서는 단순 세정의 개념이 아닌 복합감각 증진 개념의 헬스케어 목욕 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 헬스케어 감성욕조를 디자인하기 위해 우선 타입별 특성을 고찰하였다. 이를 기반으로 복합감각 자극용 전신 욕조를 개발하였고, 이 전신욕조는 감성자극용 전신욕조 월풀, 시청각 감각 자극 기능이 구비된 욕조 커버, 제어용 소형 PC, 터치패널, DMB 패널, 시각 감성 증진을 위한 칼라 가변형 LED 무드 시스템과 스피커로 구성되어 있다. 제작된 복합감각 증진 개념의 헬스케어 욕조시스템의 특성을 고찰하기 위해서 목욕을 하는 동안 인체 자율신경계에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 전반적으로 목욕 상태에서의 심박변이율은 실험 중 교감신경에 비해 부교감신경이 계속 증가하는 것으로 나타났고, 목욕을 시작한지 15분이 경과하면 교감신경이 증가하고 부교감신경이 감소하여, 피험자가 목욕을 한지 15분일 때 가장 편안한 상태를 느끼는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 목욕 실험 결과 전후의 혈압이 최고 16mmHg까지 떨어진 것으로 나타났으나 맥박은 증가하였다. 이것은 심장으로부터 혈액의 유출량이 많아져 혈류량이 증가하는 것으로 복합감각 증진용 헬스케어 욕조 시스템을 이용한 목욕이 혈액 순환에 긍정적인 영향을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과를 가지고 복합감각 기능증진 헬스케어 목욕시스템의 사용성과 사용자의 생리분석을 통한 기초결과를 통해서 사용자의 생리변화를 분석함으로써 제품의 사용성과 사용자의 생리적 변화 및 감성 간의 관계를 보다 더 명확하게 밝혀낼 수 있으리라 기대한다.

Objectives: Lifting heavy weights involves the Valsalva manoeuvre, which leads to intraocular pressure spikes. We used data from a case-control study to further investigate the hypothesis that occupational lifting is a risk factor for retinal detachment. Methods: The study population included 48 cases (patients operated for retinal detachment) and 84 controls (outpatients attending an eye clinic). The odds ratios (OR) of idiopathic retinal detachment were estimated with a logistic regression model (adjusted for age, sex and body mass index). Three indexes were used to examine exposure to lifting; 1) maximum load lifted, 2) average weekly lifting, 3) lifelong cumulative lifting. Results: For all indexes, the most exposed subjects showed an increased risk of retinal detachment compared with the unexposed (index 1: OR 3.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21-10.48; index 2: OR 3.24, 95% CI 1.32-7.97; index 3: OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.27-8.74) and dose-response relationships were apparent. Conclusion: These results reinforce the hypothesis that heavy occupational lifting may be a relevant risk factor for retinal detachment.

Glaucoma is characterized by a slow and progressive degeneration of the optic nerve, including retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons in the optic nerve head (ONH), leading to visual impairment. Despite its high prevalence, the biological basis of glaucoma pathogenesis still is not yet fully understood, and the factors contributing to its progression are currently not well characterized. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only modifiable risk factor, and reduction of IOP is the standard treatment for glaucoma. However, lowering IOP itself is not always effective for preserving visual function in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. The second messenger cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) regulates numerous biological processes in the central nervous system including the retina and the optic nerve. Although recent studies revealed that cAMP generated by adenylyl cyclases (ACs) is important in regulating aqueous humor dynamics in ocular tissues, such as the ciliary body and trabecular meshwork, as well as cell death and growth in the retina and optic nerve, the functional role and significance of cAMP in glaucoma remain to be elucidated. In this review, we will discuss the functional role of cAMP in aqueous humor dynamics and IOP regulation, and review the current medications, which are related to the cAMP signaling pathway, for glaucoma treatment. Also, we will further focus on cAMP signaling in RGC growth and regeneration by soluble AC as well as ONH astrocytes by transmembrane ACs to understand its potential role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma neurodegeneration.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cause of lens luxation and to determine the frequency of vision loss, glaucoma, cataract, and corneal edema before and after intracapsular lens extraction (ICLE). The medical records of 8 dogs underwent ICLE for the correction of anterior lens luxation at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University from August 2005 to September 2007 were reviewed. The most frequently affected breed was Miniature Poodle (n = 3). The mean age was $10.8{\pm}2.1$ years. Preoperatively, 5 eyes (67.5%) with anterior luxation had secondary glaucoma, 7 eyes (87.5%) had vision loss, and all eyes (100.0%) had corneal edema. Four weeks after ICLE, 6 eyes (75.0%) had normal intraocular pressure (IOP), and 4 eyes (50.0%) regained vision. Corneal edema was reduced after ICLE in all eyes, but still remained in 4 eyes. It was considered that ICLE was beneficial in the management of anterior lens luxation, but the eyes without glaucoma before ICLE had more favorable prognosis than eyes with.
