Diabetic Retinopathy and Chronic Kidney Disease: Associations and Comorbidities in a Large Diabetic Population - The Tongren Health Care Study.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate associations between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (TD2).

Methods: The participants of the cross-sectional, community-based Tongren Health Care Study underwent a detailed medical and ophthalmological examination. We defined TD2 by a fasting plasma glucose concentration of ≥7.

Observation of the Curative Effect of the Dexamethasone Vitreous Cavity Implant for the Treatment of Irvine-Gass Syndrome.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of dexamethasone vitreous cavity implants (Ozurdex) for the treatment of macular edema (Irvine-Gass Syndrome) after cataract surgery.

Method: Eight patients (eight eyes) with Irvine-Gass syndrome were enrolled for vitreous injections with Ozurdex. The patients included six men (six eyes) and two women (two eyes) with a mean age of 67.

Participants: Persons aged 30+ years, recruited between October 2006 and October 2007, from Yongnian County, Handan, Hebei Province, China.

[Comparison of fundus photography and fluorescein angiography in grading diabetic retinopathy].

Objective: To study the consistency of the color fundus photography and fluorescein angiography for grading the diabetic retinopathy.

Methods: It was a retrospective case series. The agreement study was conducted in a series of diabetic patients, who were excluded from the mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and the severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).

[Clinical study of photodynamic therapy for exudative age-related degeneration].

Objective: To evaluate the effects of photodynamic therapy on subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Methods: 93 patients (98 eyes) with subfoveal CNV secondary to AMD treated with verteporfin PDT from August 2000 to February 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received verteporfin PDT and were followed clinically with visual acuity testing, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA).
