Aim: To introduce a simple iris hook assisted phacoemulsification (PE) procedure and evaluate the safety and efficacy of it in completely vitrectomized eyes.

Methods: A single centre study which included 65 previously completely vitrectomized eyes of 62 patients who underwent cataract surgery. Patients were randomly divided into 3 groups.

Objective: To observe the changes in the expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene in the retina of rabbits with acute high intraocular pressure (IOP) after injection of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector containing human BDNF gene (rAAV-hBDNF), and investigate the neuroprotective mechanism of rAAV-hBDNF.

Methods: The unilateral eyes of 24 white rabbits were randomly chosen as the model group with high IOP induced by saline perfusion into the anterior chamber, and the contralateral eyes served as the control group without treatment. In another 24 white rabbits, 10 microl rAAV-BDNF was injected into the vitreous body of one of the eyes 3 days before induction of high IOP.

Objective: To investigate the neuroprotective effect of human brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene transfection into rabbit retina against acute high intraocular pressure (HIOP).

Methods: Acute HIPO was induced in one eye of 24 white rabbits via saline perfusion into the anterior chamber (model group), and the contralateral eye without treatment served as the control group. In another 24 rabbits, 10 microl recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector containing human BDNF gene (rAAV-BDNF) was injected into the vitreous body of one of the eyes 3 days before the operation for HIPO (BDNF group).
