The Change of Visual Acuity Correlated with Choroidal Thickness in Diabetic Retinopathy

Abstract Background To probe the change of macular choroidal thickness (MCT) in diabetic retinopathy (DR) by using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Methods A retrospective research was conducted among 136 eyes. Patients’ mean age was 57.34±9.42 years. 67 eyes were suffered from diabetic retinopathy (DR) without macular edema (ME), 69 eyes with ME and age matched 64 healthy eyes were as control. The choriocapillaris and the medium vascular layers (Sattler’s layer) were defined as the choroidal inner layer, and the large vessel layer (Haller’s layer) was defined as the choroidal outer layer. Results The whole, inner and out layers of choroid in macular area of the eyes with DR were significantly thinner compared to that of control (P<0.001). The whole and out choroidal layers in DR with ME were significantly thinner than that in DR without ME (P<0.001). The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA, LogMar) was 0.41±0.37and 0.70±0.45 for DR without ME and DR with ME, respectively. Univariate linear regression analysis showed a positive correlation between MCT and BCVA in either DR with or without ME groups (P=0.023,P=0.006). A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that the elucidative variables strong association with MCT were BCVA and central macular thickness (CMT) in DR eyes. Conclusion In the eyes with DR, MCT was thinner compared to that of healthy control and this change was more substantial in ME eyes. MCT had a positive correction with BCVA. Our results indicate that the pathological change occurred in choroidal layer of the eyes with DR and this change correlated with impairment of BCVA.

Purpose. To investigate relationships between total thickness and the thickness of inner and outer layers in the choroid during regression in patients with multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS). Methods. This retrospective observational case series included 15 unilaterally affected eyes and 13 unaffected fellow eyes from 15 MEWDS patients (4 men and 11 women; mean age, 37.6 ± 17.6 years). Using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography, whole, inner, and outer choroidal layer thicknesses at the fovea and perifovea were manually measured at the initial visit and at 1 and 3 months after the initial visit. The mean thickness values of the layers were compared at each stage. Results. With regression of MEWDS, the mean subfoveal whole and inner choroidal layer thicknesses significantly decreased at 1 and 3 months compared to baseline values in MEWDS eyes (P=0.01 and P<0.0001, respectively), but not in fellow eyes. The outer layer in MEWDS eyes tended to thin. Changes in the inner and outer layers at the perifovea in MEWDS eyes also showed the same trends. Simple linear regression analysis revealed significant positive correlations in choroidal thickness changes between the whole and inner layers (R = 0.53, P=0.04) and between the whole and outer layers (R = 0.91, P<0.0001) from baseline to 3 months. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that choroidal thickness changes in the whole layer were significantly correlated with those in the inner (β = 0.51, P<0.0001) and outer (β = 0.73, P<0.0001) layers. Conclusion. The inner choroidal layer significantly thinned with regression of MEWDS, correlating with the thinning of total choroidal thickness. These results suggest that MEWDS lesions in the choroid are likely to lie mainly in the inner layer.

AbstractMyonectin, a newly discovered myokine, enhances fatty acid uptake in cultured adipocytes and hepatocytes and suppresses circulating levels of free fatty acids in mice. This study is performed to evaluate the association between serum and aqueous humor myonectin concentrations with diabetic retinopathy (DR). This study was performed in a population of 228 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and 72 control subjects. Diabetic patients were then divided into T2DM patients without DR, non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) patients, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients. Serum and aqueous humor myonectin concentrations were significantly lower in the case group than in the control group. PDR patients showed significantly decreased serum and aqueous humor myonectin concentrations than in the other two T2DM patients. In addition, NPDR patients showed significantly lower serum and aqueous humor myonectin concentrations than T2DM patients without DR. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that serum and aqueous humor myonectin was correlated with a decreased risk of T2DM and DR. Simple linear regression analysis showed that serum myonectin was negatively correlated with duration of disease, body mass index (BMI), and HbA1c. Duration of disease and BMI were still correlated with the serum myonectin after a multiple linear regression analysis. Aqueous humor myonectin was negatively correlated with duration of disease, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure. Duration of disease and SBP was still correlated with the aqueous humor myonectin after a multiple linear regression analysis. Our investigation indicates an inverse association of serum and aqueous humor myonectin with DR.

Thin Capitalization

The increase in tax revenue in Indonesia is not accompanied by an increase in tax ratio The low tax ratioindicatestax avoidance practices in Indonesia. Some tax avoidance practices can be conductedthrough transferpricing and thin capitalization.This study is aimed to examine empirically the effect of thin capitalization as well astransfer pricing aggressiveness on tax avoidance practice in Indonesia. This study uses manufacturing companieswhich are listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) within the period 2013-2015. Using purposive sampling, theselected samples in this study are 90 companies, so the total sample is 270 samples. The hypothesis examinationused in this study is multiple linear regression analysis of panel data.The results of this study suggest that thincapitalization is positively associated with tax avoidance,while transfer pricing aggressivenessis not associated withtax avoidance.
