Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this observational study was to learn about metabolomics profiles in vitreoretinal diseases by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)using vitreous fluid. The main question it aimed to answer was abnormal biomarkers for common retinal diseases such as idiopathic macular hole(IMH), diabetic retinopathy(DR) and retinal detachment(RD). Participants would not be subjected to any intervention and the investigators would only collect preoperative information and remaining vitreous samples. The investigators divided the participants into groups with appropriate disease names based on the disease diagnosis, such as IMH group, DR group, and RD group. The MH group was used as a control group, investigators compared other groups to see the metabolomic abnormalities.


Clinical Trial Description

This study aimed to analyze vitreous fluid using NMR to discover potential biomarkers for the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of vitreoretinal diseases and to reveal the mechanisms of disease progression. Patients suffering from IMH, DR, RD, idiopathic macular epiretinal membrane (IMM), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) quiring for pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), who visited Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, were chosen to participate in this study. Participants were not subjected to any intervention and the investigator only collected preoperative information and remaining vitreous samples. Participants provided preoperative examination information and medical history, and the investigators divided the participants into five groups with corresponding disease names based on the disease diagnosis, including five groups for five diseases: IMH group, DR group, RD group, IMM group, and RVO group. The control group for the diseases was the IMH group, and metabolomic differences were observed. These patients are usually treated with PPV, during PPV typically performed on these patients, vitreous fluid is usually disposed of as waste, and investigators collected 100-250 ul of the fluid for NMR analysis to see metabolomic characterization of these diseases. ;
