Background: The aims of this study were to evaluate the levels of preretinal oxygen tension in patients with diabetes who did not have hypertension by using three-dimensional spoiled gradient-recalled (3D-SPGR) echo sequence imaging and to explore the correlation between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and changes in preretinal oxygen tension.
Method: This study involved 15 patients with type 2 diabetes without hypertension, who were divided into a diabetic retinopathy (DR) group (n = 10 eyes) and a diabetic non-retinopathy (NDR) group (n = 20 eyes), according to the results of a fundus photography test. Another healthy control group (n = 14 eyes) also participated in the study. The preretinal vitreous optic disc area, nasal side, and temporal side signal intensity of the eyes was assessed before and after oxygen inhalation with the use of 3D-SPGR echo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The signal acquisition time was 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 min after oxygen inhalation.
Results: The results showed that, in the DR and NDR groups, the preretinal vitreous oxygen tension increased rapidly at 10 min after oxygen inhalation and peaked at 30-40 min, and the increased slope of the DR group was higher than that of the NDR group. The oxygen tension of the preretinal vitreous gradually increased after oxygen inhalation, and the difference between the DR and NDR groups and the control group was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The preretinal vitreous oxygen tension was higher in the optic disc, temporal side, and nasal side in the NDR group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The maximum slope ratios of the optic disc and the temporal side of the DR group were greater than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Three-dimensional-SPGR echo MRI sequencing technology is useful for detecting preretinal oxygen tension levels in patients with diabetes. It can be used as one of the functional and imaging observation indicators for the early diagnosis of DR.

Hypoxia, a condition of oxygen tension lower than physiological level, plays a crucial role in shaping the tumor microenvironment and modulates distinct cell populations activity. The tumor suppressor PTEN regulates angiogenesis, a process involving endothelial cells (ECs). Pathological in tumors, it is crucial for growth.

Prompt emergence from general anesthesia is crucial after neurosurgical procedures, such as craniotomies, to facilitate timely neurological evaluation for identification of intraoperative complications. Delayed emergence can be caused by residual anesthetics, metabolic imbalances, and intracranial pathology, for which an eye examination can provide early diagnostic clues. The sunset sign (or setting sun sign), characterized by a downward deviation of the eyes, can be an early indicator of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) or midbrain compression, as is commonly observed in states of hydrocephalus or periaqueductal or tectal plate dysfunction.

Mitochondrial oxygen tension (MitoPO2) is a promising novel non-invasive bedside marker of circulatory shock and is associated with organ failure. The measurement of mitoPO2 requires the topical application of 5-aminolevulinc acid (ALA) to induce sufficient concentrations of the fluorescent protein protoporphyrin-IX within (epi)dermal cells. Currently, its clinical potential in guiding resuscitation therapies is limited by the long induction time prior to obtaining a reliable measurement signal.
