To obtain normative ocular data for Japanese quail as they mature from juveniles to adults.
Twenty-six captive Japanese quail comprising thirteen males and thirteen females, free of ocular disease, were included in the study.
Ophthalmic reference values were measured in both eyes at 1 and 5 months of age. A complete ophthalmic examination was performed, including neuro-ophthalmic reflexes, slit lamp biomicroscopy, phenol red thread test (PRTT), rebound tonometry, fluorescein staining, horizontal corneal diameter measurement, indirect ophthalmoscopy, and ocular ultrasound biometry. Ultrasound biomicroscopy measurements of axial globe length, lens thickness, vitreal chamber length, and pecten length were recorded. The depth of the anterior chamber was calculated by subtracting the lens thickness and vitreous length from the axial globe length. Measures of association and descriptive statistics were analyzed using STATA-14 and STATA-15.
Juvenile and adult females were heavier than age-matched males. Weight, intraocular pressure, horizontal corneal diameter, axial globe length, and lens thickness measurements increased with age. No statistically significant differences were found in the remainder of measurements among individuals in different sex or age-groups.
This work provides reference values and clinical findings that can be used in future research on quail and ocular disease.
获得日本鹌鹑从幼体到成体成熟过程中的眼部正常数据。
本研究纳入了 26 只无眼部疾病的人工饲养日本鹌鹑，包括 13 只雄性和 13 只雌性。
在 1 月龄和 5 月龄时分别测量双眼的眼部参考值。进行全面的眼科检查，包括神经眼科反射、裂隙灯生物显微镜检查、酚红棉线试验（PRTT）、回弹眼压计测量、荧光素染色、水平角膜直径测量、间接检眼镜检查和眼部超声生物测量。记录眼球轴长、晶状体厚度、玻璃体腔长度和梳状突长度的超声生物显微镜测量值。通过从眼球轴长中减去晶状体厚度和玻璃体长度来计算前房深度。使用 STATA-14 和 STATA-15 进行关联和描述性统计分析。
幼体和成年雌性的体重均高于同龄雄性。体重、眼内压、水平角膜直径、眼球轴长和晶状体厚度随年龄增长而增加。不同性别或年龄组个体之间的其余测量值没有统计学差异。
本研究提供了可用于未来鹌鹑和眼部疾病研究的参考值和临床发现。
