Vitrectomies for recentpenetrating trauma or endophthalmitis were excluded. Patients suffered from clinical orculture-proven postvitrectomy endophthalmitis were selected.Results: Postvitrectomy endophthalmitis happened to 3 of 7 000 patients, resulting in anoverall frequency of 0. 04%. Enhanced systemic and local antibiotics were used assoon as diagnosis was made. Endophthamitis were controlled within 6 days, 8 days and10 days, respectively. Final visual acuities were light perception in 2 patients and0.02 in 1 patient.Conclusion: Postvitrectomy endophthalmitis was rare, but it deteriorate the visualacuity. Both ophthalmologist and patients should pay high attention to it.展开更多

Another T-type specific calcium channel blocker Amiloride can also induce the formation of cement gland, while L-type specific calcium channel blocker Nifedipine has no inductive effect. These results may offer us an new approach to study the differentiation of cement gland through the change of intracelluax calcium concentration.展开更多
