[Clinical analysis on sixteen cases of Sturge-Weber syndrome-associated glaucoma].

Objective: To investigate the clinical features of Sturge-Weber syndrome-associated glaucoma and its surgical treatment.

Methods: A retrospective case series study. The general clinical data and related ocular manifestations in 16 patients (21 eyes) with Sturge-Weber syndrome-associated glaucoma in our hospital from January 2003 to December 2007 were analyzed retrospectively.

[Trabeculotomy on primary congenital glaucoma: a retrospective study of 164 cases (257 eyes)].

Objective: To study the relationship of long-term effect of trabeculotomy on primary congenital glaucoma and the related risk factors.

Method: 164 consecutive patients with primary congenital glaucoma (257 eyes), underwent initial surgery of trabeculotomy between 1996 and 2007. Follow-up was conducted for 30.

Increased levels of transforming growth factor-betal and -beta2 in the aqueous humor of patients with neovascular glaucoma.

Background And Objective: To measure the concentrations of transforming growth factor-betal and beta2 (TGF-beta1 and TGF-beta2) in the aqueous humor of patients with neovascular glaucoma (NVG).

Patients And Methods: Patients were divided into four groups: NVG secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (group 1), NVG secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (group 2), central retinal vein occlusion without rubeosis (group 3), and senile cataract (group 4). The total TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta2 concentrations in the aqueous humor of the four groups were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.
