ObjectiveTo compare the consistency of artificial analysis and artificial intelligence analysis in the identification of fundus lesions in diabetic patients.MethodsA retrospective study. From May 2018 to May 2019, 1053 consecutive diabetic patients (2106 eyes) of the endocrinology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were included in the study. Among them, 888 patients were males and 165 were females. They were 20-70 years old, with an average age of 53 years old. All patients were performed fundus imaging on diabetic Inspection by useing Japanese Kowa non-mydriatic fundus cameras. The artificial intelligence analysis of Shanggong's ophthalmology cloud network screening platform automatically detected diabetic retinopathy (DR) such as exudation, bleeding, and microaneurysms, and automatically classifies the image detection results according to the DR international staging standard. Manual analysis was performed by two attending physicians and reviewed by the chief physician to ensure the accuracy of manual analysis. When differences appeared between the analysis results of the two analysis methods, the manual analysis results shall be used as the standard. Consistency rate were calculated and compared. Consistency rate = (number of eyes with the same diagnosis result/total number of effective eyes collected) × 100%. Kappa consistency test was performed on the results of manual analysis and artificial intelligence analysis, 0.0≤κ＜0.2 was a very poor degree of consistency, 0.2≤κ＜0.4 meant poor consistency, 0.4≤κ＜0.6 meant medium consistency, and 0.6≤κ＜1.0 meant good consistency.ResultsAmong the 2106 eyes, 64 eyes were excluded that cannot be identified by artificial intelligence due to serious illness, 2042 eyes were finally included in the analysis. The results of artificial analysis and artificial intelligence analysis were completely consistent with 1835 eyes, accounting for 89.86%. There were differences in analysis of 207 eyes, accounting for 10.14%. The main differences between the two are as follows: (1) Artificial intelligence analysis points Bleeding, oozing, and manual analysis of 96 eyes (96/2042, 4.70%); (2) Artificial intelligence analysis of drusen, and manual analysis of 71 eyes (71/2042, 3.48%); (3) Artificial intelligence analyzes normal or vitreous degeneration, while manual analysis of punctate exudation or hemorrhage or microaneurysms in 40 eyes (40/2042, 1.95%). The diagnostic rates for non-DR were 23.2% and 20.2%, respectively. The diagnostic rates for non-DR were 76.8% and 79.8%, respectively. The accuracy of artificial intelligence interpretation is 87.8%. The results of the Kappa consistency test showed that the diagnostic results of manual analysis and artificial intelligence analysis were moderately consistent (κ=0.576, P＜0.01).ConclusionsManual analysis and artificial intelligence analysis showed moderate consistency in the diagnosis of fundus lesions in diabetic patients. The accuracy of artificial intelligence interpretation is 87.8%.
Peripheral exudative hemorrhagic chorioretinopathy (PEHCR) is a peripheral retinal disease characterized by subretinal hemorrhage and/or subretinal pigment epithelial hemorrhage or exudation. It is often misdiagnosed as age-related macular degeneration, polypoidal chorioretinopathy or choroidal melanoma. With the development of multimodal imaging, PEHCR has different features under different examinations, such as B-scan ultrasound, fluorescein fundus angiography, optical coherence tomography and so on, which contributes to differention from other diseases. Clinical treatments for the disease include intravitreal injection of retinal photocoagulation therapy, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, pars plana vitrectomyand so on, but there is still no universal consensus. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the clinical features, treatment options and prognosis of PEHCR, minimize missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses, and improve treatment efficiency, further research is required.
Objective To observe the ocular fundus features and consistency of classification of diabetic retinopathy (DR) by ultra-wide-field fluorescein angiography (UWFA) and the simulated early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) 7 standard field (7SF) imaging. Methods This is a retrospective clinical description study. Ninety-six eyes of 55 DR patients were included. The ages ranged from 25 to 73 years, with a mean age of (41.34±15.07) years. UWFA examination (British Optos 200Tx imaging system) using the protocol for obtaining 7SF images as described in the ETDRS, 7 circular regions with a range of 30 degrees are spliced as 7SF templates to determine the observation range. This template was then overlaid on the UWFA image to identify the potential viewable area of 7SF. And the visualized area of the retina, retinal non-perfusion (NP) area, retinal neovascularization (NV) area, and pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) area of UWFA and 7SF were quantified by a retinal specialist. Results UWFA imaging and 7SF imaging have a high degree of consistency in judging DR classification (kappa=0.851,P=0.000). The retinal visual area, NP area, NV area and PRP area of the UWFA imaging were 3.16, 3.38, 2.22 and 3.15 times more comparing with the simulated 7SF imaging (t=213.430, 45.013, 22.644, 142.665;P=0.000, 0.000, 0.003, 0.000). The lesions of 8 eyes were found outside the range of simulated 7SF imaging, including peripheral NP in 5 eyes, NV areas in 3 eyes, respectively. Conclusion UWFA imaging and simulated 7SF imaging are consistent to judge DR classification, but UWFA can find more peripheral retinal lesions.
Objective To investigate the early influences of laser photocoagulation on macular retinal thickness in diabetic retinopathy(DR). Methods Optic coherence tomography examination was performed in 30 eyes with DR(phase Ⅲ~Ⅳ) before, and on the 3rd day and the 7th day after photocoagulation respectively. The thickness of neuroretina and pigment epithelium were measured in the areas of fovea macula and 750 μm from fovea macula. Results Three days after photocoagulation, significant thickening of neuroretina was observed in the fovea macula, which is positively related with age, fasting blood sugar and duration of DR. There was no significant changes in the thickness of pigment epithelium in macula and in the thickness of neuroretina 750 μm from fovea macula. Conclusion Significant thickening of neuroretina in fovea macula in DR early after photocoagulation reveals progressed macular edema induced by photocoagulation which is positively related with age, fasting blood sugar and duration of DR.

Diabetic macular ischemia (DMI) is one of the manifestation of diabetic retinopathy (DR). It could be associated with diabetic macular edema (DME), which may affect the vision of DR patients. FFA is the gold standard for the diagnosis of DMI, but with the advent of OCT angiography, a more convenient and diversified method for the evaluation of DMI has been developed, which makes more and more researchers start to study DMI. Intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF has become the preferred treatment for DME. When treating with DME patients, ophthalmologists usually avoid DMI patients. But if intravitreal anti-VEGF should be the contradiction of DME is still unclear. To provide references to the research, this article summarized the risk factors, assessment methods and influence of DMI. This article also analyzed the existing studies, aiming to offer evidences to a more reasonable and effective treatment decision for DME individual.
