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 investigate the effects,safety and indications of local resection of choroidal melanoma with vitreoretinal surgery. Methods Eight patients with choroidal melanoma were treated with surgery.The range of the diameters of tumors was 5～20 mm and of the thickness was 4～12 mm.Retinal detachment was detected in 4 eyes.The local tumors were endoresected in 2 eyes,and managed by partial lamellar sclerouvectomy in 6 eyes.Vitreoretinal surgery,including vitrectomy,using perfluorocarbon liquid,endolaser and gases or silicone oil tamponde were performed in all eyes.Pathologic tests were performed for removed tissues. Results All tumors were resected completely.Among them,7 were histologically identified as choroidal melanomas,five were classified as spindle-cell type,2 as mixed-cell type.The ciliary body was involved in 3 tumors.The other one was choroidal melanocytoma.There was no tumor recurrence and metastasis during follow-up(average 9 .1 months).All eyeballs had no obvious changes in contour.Visual acuities werege;0.1 in 5 eyes. Conclusion In local resection cases of choroidal melanoma the affected eyeballs and their vision are saved,and the accurate diagnosis can also be made from the excisional biopsy.

【摘要】目的探讨肝血管平滑肌脂肪瘤的临床病理特点、诊断及鉴别诊断。 方法对3例肝血管平滑肌脂肪瘤患者有关病理检查结果进行回顾性分析。 结果肿瘤位于肝右叶2例，肝左叶1例。肿瘤直径为2～10 cm，平均6.2 cm。3例肿瘤内均见平滑肌、脂肪、畸形厚壁血管，但未见髓外造血灶。对黑色素瘤（HMB45）、结合蛋白（desmin)及肌动蛋白（actin)检查均呈阳性反应。术后随访6～36个月，未见肿瘤复发。结论肝血管平滑肌脂肪瘤由3种成分组成，病理形态变化多样，必须与多种肝肿瘤相鉴别。平滑肌细胞HMB45表达呈强阳性反应是诊断肝血管平滑肌脂肪瘤较可靠的依据。
Objective To investigate the role of anti apoptosis gene bcl-2 in the survival of cultured uveal melanoma UM cells. Methods Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (AS-ODN) bcl-2 were delivered with cationic lipid to primary cultured UM cells. The inhibitory effect of AS-ODN bcl-2 on proliferation of UM cells was examined by 3,-4,5 Dimethyliazol-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Using DNA ladder to determine if the UM cells had been apoptotic. Bcl-2 expression was detected by RT-PCR and Westernblot technics. Results The effect of AS-ODN bcl-2 in inhibiting the proliferation of cultured UM cells had opposite relation to dosage. It down regulated the mRNA and protein level of bcl-2 gene, and the sense ODN didn′t have this effect. Conclusion AS-ODN bcl-2 can down regulate bcl-2 expression, inhibits UM cells proliferation and induces apoptosis. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2002, 18: 38-41)
