研究目的
To quantitatively evaluate the pulse waveform changes in macular choroidal blood ?ow by using laser speckle ?owgraphy (LSFG) with regression of acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
研究成果
Changes in the skew and BOT, new and absolute indices for vascular resistance, further con?rmed the involvement of circulatory disturbance at the acute stage of CSC. Our ?ndings on LSFG suggested that the pathogenesis of CSC stems from imbalanced distribution of choroidal blood ?ow due to an increase in vascular resistance, possibly related to sympathetic activation.
研究不足
This was a retrospective study with a relatively small population. The pulse waveform parameters analyzed on LSFG have been validated only recently. There was no signi?cant correlation between visual recovery and any of the pulse waveform parameters currently examined.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
This retrospective observational case series included 20 eyes of 20 patients with acute CSC. Laser speckle ?owgraphy was performed at baseline and after 6 months.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Patients with acute CSC who received follow-up examinations for more than 6 months.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
LSFG-NAVI (Softcare, Fukuoka, Japan), TRC-50LX; Topcon, Tokyo, Japan, or F10 Digital Ophthalmoscope; NIDEK, Gamagori, Japan, spectral domain OCT (RS-3000 or RS-3000 Advance; NIDEK).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
LSFG measurements were performed three consecutive times at the initial visit and 6 months later. The pupils of each subject were dilated with
5:5% tropicamide and 5% phenylephrine hydrochloride 20 minutes before performing LSFG. Data Analysis Methods:
The average MBR and the pulse waveform parameters, including the skew and blowout time (BOT), were compared between the total PDF and MDF areas during follow-up.
