MethodsrNAION was established with Rose Bengal and argon green laser in Sprague-Dawley rats. Fundus photography and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) were performed to assess the dynamic changes of optic disc in morphology in 90 days and in blood perfusion in 3 hours after the induction of disease. Histological examinations were performed to evaluate the success of modeling. Thedynamic blood flow kinetics of posterior ONH in rNAION were measured by Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) on the day 3, 7, 14, 21, and 40 after the disease induction. One-way ANOVA, Student'st-test and Bonferroni adjustment were used for multiple comparisons of kinetic measurements of blood flow. ResultsOptic disc edema and subsequent resolution associated with the development of optic disc pallor were observed in rNAION. FFA showed that the optic disc was hypofluorescence in the early phase and hyperfluorescence in the late phase. Histological studies suggested edema and loosened tissues of ONH, loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), optic nerve substance and gliosis. Compared to the naive rats, the blood flow kinetics of posterior ONH in rNAION significant reduced at each time point after modeling (F=175.06,P<0.0001). The reductions were specifically remarkable in 14 days after the disease induction (AllP<0.01). Conclusions Continuous blood perfusion reduction was found in rNAION, with significant alteration in 14 days after disease induction. Our results provided important information for understanding the hemodynamic changes in rNAION.展开更多

The mechanism of injury is not understood, and there are no confirmed protocols for prevention, mitigation or treatment. Most data concerning this condition comes from case series of civilian patients suffering blunt injury, such as from sports- or motor vehicle-related concussion, rather than military-related ballistic or blast damage. Research in this field will likely require the development of robust databases to identify patients with ITON and follow related outcomes, in addition to both in-vivo animal and virtual human models to study the mechanisms of damage and potential therapies.展开更多
