Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) is a subtype of interstitial lung disease. Hypoxia and oxidative stress that take a role in IIP, are also thought to affect ocular structures. In this study, our aim was to evaluate the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, choroidal thickness and retinal vessel diameter using the Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in participants with IIP. A total of 35 subjects with IIP were evaluated. The ocular parameters of patients with IIP were compared with that of 35 age-sex matched healthy volunteers. All subjects underwent respiratory function testing and carbon monoxide diffusion test. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed to determine the hypoxic state. In addition to SD-OCT measurements, all participants underwent a standard ophthalmic examination including visual acuity assessment, biomicroscopy, air-puff tonometry and retinal examination. The mean retinal arteriolar caliber (RAC) was 89.5±5.5 μm in the IIP group and 94.3±6.9 μm in the control group (p=0.002). The mean retinal venular caliber (RVC) was 131.5±11.2 μm in the IIP group and 125.2±9.2 μm in the control group (p=0.01). The mean inferior quadrant retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness was 127.5±19.4 μm in the IIP group and 140.1±13.8 μm in the control group (p=0.003). The IIP may affect retinal vessels and nerve fiber layer. The diameter of the retinal venules was larger and the diameter of the retinal arterioles was smaller in the IIP patients when compared to the healthy controls. The inferior quadrant RNFL was significantly thinner in the IIPgroup. .
特发性间质性肺炎(IIP)是间质性肺疾病的一种亚型。在IIP中起作用的缺氧和氧化应激也被认为会影响眼部结构。在本研究中,我们的目的是使用光谱域光学相干断层扫描(SD-OCT)评估IIP患者的视网膜神经纤维层厚度、脉络膜厚度和视网膜血管直径。共评估了35例IIP患者。将IIP患者的眼部参数与35名年龄和性别匹配的健康志愿者进行比较。所有受试者均接受呼吸功能测试和一氧化碳弥散试验。进行动脉血气分析以确定缺氧状态。除了SD-OCT测量外,所有参与者均接受了包括视力评估、生物显微镜检查、吹气眼压测量和视网膜检查在内的标准眼科检查。IIP组的平均视网膜动脉口径(RAC)为89.5±5.5μm,对照组为94.3±6.9μm(p=0.002)。IIP组的平均视网膜静脉口径(RVC)为131.5±11.2μm,对照组为125.2±9.2μm(p=0.01)。IIP组下象限视网膜神经纤维层(RNFL)的平均厚度为127.5±19.4μm,对照组为140.1±13.8μm(p=0.003)。IIP可能会影响视网膜血管和神经纤维层。与健康对照组相比,IIP患者的视网膜静脉直径较大,视网膜动脉直径较小。IIP组下象限RNFL明显更薄。
