目的:分析23G/25G微创玻璃体切割术后发生眼内炎的危险因素。方法:回顾性分析2014年6月—2023年5月于中国人民解放军中部战区总医院行微创玻璃体切割术后,临床诊断为眼内炎患者(开放性眼外伤患者除外)的临床特征。结果:纳入8 955例行微创玻璃体切割术患者,其中11例微创玻璃体切割术后患眼发生眼内炎,发生率为0.12%。平均年龄(60.8±7.6)岁。11例其中,5例(45.4%)患者合并糖尿病;原发眼疾构成情况:黄斑疾病7例(63.6%)、增殖期糖尿病性视网膜病变继发玻璃体积血2例(18.2%),视网膜裂孔继发玻璃体积血1例(9.1%)、视网膜脱离1例(9.1%);术中联合行白内障手术3例(27.3 %);术毕8例(72.7%)患眼玻璃体腔填充无菌空气,3例(27.3%)填充平衡盐溶液,术毕所有患者均未缝合巩膜穿刺切口;术后低眼压3例(27.3 %)。术后发生眼内炎的时间为(2.8±1.1)d。11例患者经过局部和全身抗感染治疗后炎症控制不佳,均再次行玻璃体切割术联合术中配置万古霉素液灌注,其中9例术毕玻璃体腔填充硅油,术后所有眼内炎得到控制,10例(91.0%)患者最终矫正视力有所提高。结论:微创玻璃体切割术后,免缝合的巩膜切口可能是病原微生物侵入眼内导致眼内炎的潜在途径。尤其要重视黄斑手术中玻璃体不全切除引起巩膜切口处发生玻璃体束综合征可能是术后发生眼内炎的危险因素之一。
Objective: To analyze risk factors for endophthalmitis occurred after 23G/25G minimally invasive vitrectomy. Methods: Retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics of patients with endophthalmitis (except patients with open eye trauma) after minimally invasive vitrectomy in General Hospital of Central Theater Command(Wuhan,430064) from June 2014 to May 2023. Results: This study included 8,955 patients, of which 11 cases occurred endophthalmitis after minimally invasive vitrectomy, with an incidence rate of 0.12%. The average age was (60.8±7.6) years, and 5 patients (45.4%) were complicated with diabetes; The composition of primary eye diseases: 7 cases (63.6%) of macular disease, 2 cases (18.2%) of vitreous hemorrhage secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy and 1 case (9.1%) vitreous hemorrhage secondary to retinal fissure, 1 case (9.1%) of retinal detachment; During the operation, 3 cases (27.3%) underwent combined cataract surgery; After the operation, 8 cases (72.7%) were filled with sterile air in the vitreous cavity of affected eye, the other 3 cases (27.3%) were filled with equilibrium liquid,and sclera puncture incision was not sutured in all patients; 3 cases (27.3%) had low intraocular pressure after operation. The time for postoperative endophthalmitis to occur after operation was 2.8±1.1day. 11 patients had poor inflammation control after local and systemic anti-inflammatory treatments, and all underwent vitrectomy combined with intraoperative injection of vancomycin solution. Among them, 9 patients were filled with silicone oil in the vitreous cavity after the surgery. After the operation, all the endophthalmitis were controlled and final corrected visual acuity of 10 patients improved. Conclusions: Minimally invasive vitrectomy and suture-free scleral incision may be a potential way for pathogenic microorganisms to invade the eye and cause endophthalmitis. Particular attention should be paid to the ‘Vitreous Wick Syndrome’ at the scleral incision caused by incomplete vitrectomy in macular surgery, which may be one of the risk factors for postoperative endophthalmitis.
目的:利用双向孟德尔随机化方法(mendelian randomization,MR)探索骨关节炎与青光眼的潜在因果关系。方法:使用全基因组关联研究(genome-wide association studies,GWAS)数据,挑选出与骨关节炎和青光眼高度相关的单核苷酸多态性(single nucleotide polymorphism,SNP)作为工具变量。本研究以逆方差加权法(inverse variance weighted,IVW)作为主要的分析手段,以加权中位数法、加权模型法、简单众数法及MR-Egger回归法作为辅助方法,采用F统计量、Cochran Q检验、MR Egger截距测试、留一法(leave one out)及多效性残差和离群值法(mendelian randomization pleiotropy RESidual sum and outliers,MR-PRESSO)进行敏感性分析。本研究采用比值比(odds ratio,OR)作为主要的效应量度指标,以95%置信区间(confidence interval,CI)评估关联强度,探讨骨关节炎与青光眼的双向因果关系。结果:IVW结果表明骨关节炎可增加青光眼的患病风险(95%CI: 1.00~1.20,OR=1.10,P=0.043),辅助方法的结果显示了相同的因果方向,但无统计学意义。在反向MR分析中,IVW结果表明,青光眼不会增加患骨关节炎的风险(OR=1.02,95%CI: 0.97~1.08),4种辅助方法均支持IVW结果。所选SNP的F统计量均超过10,无弱工具变量。Cochran Q检验、MR-Egger截距检验以及MR-PRESSO分析结果均未显示所选SNP之间存在异质性或水平多效性。反向MR分析结果显示Cochran Q检验有异质性,但未发现水平多效性。留一法结果显示没有对整体分析结果产生了显著影响的SNP。结论:正向MR分析表明骨关节炎可能会增加患青光眼的风险,二者之间存在正相关。反向MR分析结果表明,青光眼对骨关节炎无因果效应。
Objective: To investigate the potential bidirectional causal association between osteoarthritis and glaucoma through the application of bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR). Methods: Instrumental variables were selected in this study based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) strongly associated with osteoarthritis and glaucoma, as utilizing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data. The inverse variance weighting (IVW) method was served as the primary analytical approach, while the weighted median mode, simple plurality and MR-Egger regression methods were employed as complementary methods. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using F-statistic, Cochran Q-test, MR Egger's intercept test, leave-one-out, and multiplicity of residuals and outliers method (MR-PRESSO). The ratio of odds ratios (OR) was adopted as the primary effect estimate, and the strength of association was evaluated by 95% confidence interval (CI) to explore the bidirectional causal relationship between osteoarthritis and glaucoma. Results: The IVW analysis revealed that osteoarthritis elevates the risk of glaucoma with an odds ratio of (OR) of 1.10(95% CI: 1.00-1.20). While the adjunctive methods concurred with this causal direction, their findings did not reach statistical significance. In contrast, the inverse Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis utilizing the inverse variance weighting method demonstrated that glaucoma does not enhance the risk of developing osteoarthritis (OR=1.02, 95% CI: 0.97-1.08). This conclusion was upheld by all four auxiliary methods. The F-statistic values for the selected SNP exceeded 10, indicating the absence of weak instrumental variables. Furthermore, the Cochran Q test, MR-Egger intercept test, and MR- PRESSO analyses revealed no evidence of heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy among the SNP. However, the inverse MR analysis displayed heterogeneity in the Cochran Q test, yet no horizontal pleiotropy was detected. The leave-one-out method analysis identified no significant influence of any individual SNP on the overall results. Conclusions: Forward MR analyses indicated that osteoarthritis may serve as a risk factor for glaucoma, indicating a positive correlation between the two conditions. Conversely, reverse MR analysis failed to establish a causal link between glaucoma and osteoarthritis.
目的:探讨青光眼日间手术患者的自我管理行为现状及影响因素分析。方法:采用便利抽样法选取2021年9月—2022年5月于广州市某三级甲等眼科专科医院就诊的223例青光眼日间手术患者。采用一般资料调查表、青光眼自我管理行为量表、慢性疾病自我效能量表和青光眼知识学习问卷进行问卷调查。结果:青光眼日间手术患者的自我管理行为得分为(54.03±6.95)分,其中生活调整维度得分最低。慢性病自我效能与自我管理行为呈正相关(r=0.368, P<0.001)。疾病知识与自我管理行为无显著相关性(r=0.077, P=0.252)。多因素线性回归分析结果显示,患者的文化程度(P<0.001)和自我效能(P=0.028)是自我管理行为的影响因素,可解释自我管理行为总变异的12.4%。结论:青光眼日间手术患者具有良好的自我管理行为,较低的自我效能和文化程度是自我管理行为的危险因素,因此应优先提高患者的自我效能,并提供个性化教育。
Objective: To determine self-management and its association with self-efficacy and knowledge among glaucoma patients undergoing day surgery. Methods: A total of 223 glaucoma patients were recruited from September 2021 to May 2022and they were investigated with the Glaucoma Self Management Questionnaire (GSMQ), The Self- Efficacy in Chronic Disease Scale (SECD-6), and the glaucoma knowledge questionnaire. Results: Of the 223 study participants, the study population had a total GSMQ score of 54.03±6.95 with the lowest score found in the life adjustment dimension. The total SECD-6 score was showing a significantly positive correlation with the total GSMQ score(r =0.368, P <0.001). The total score of disease knowledge was without significant correlation with the total GSMQ score (r =0.077, P =0.252). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that self-efficacy (P <0.001) and education level was independently associated with self-management(P =0.028). Conclusions: Glaucoma patients undergoing daytime surgery demonstrated good overall self-management, yet further improvement was required in terms of life adjustment. Low self-efficacy and educational level were identified as risk factors for self-management. Therefore, self-management programs should prioritize enhancing patients' self-efficacy and delivering individualized education.

Iron ions are essential for normal metabolism, DNA synthesis, and cellular repair in corneal cells. Nevertheless, an excess of these ions can disrupt iron homeostasis, leading to cellular toxicity, damage, and death. Keratoconus, the most prevalent ectatic corneal disorder, is often marked by the Fleischer ring, which indicates an imbalance in iron homeostasis. A review of early studies on keratoconus and iron metabolism suggests that this imbalance may be a potential pathogenic mechanism contributing to the onset and progression of the disease. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of normal iron metabolism in the human body and cornea, highlighting the evidence of iron homeostasis imbalance in keratoconus. It also explores potential therapeutic strategies focused on maintaining iron homeostasis, thereby offering novel insights into the treatment of ectatic eye diseases.

白内障是世界范围内致盲的主要原因之一,占中低收入国家致盲病例的50%。随着人口老龄化程度的加深,到2050年中国白内障致盲病例预计达到2 000万。卫生支出占比低、医疗设备及眼科医生紧缺、筛查费用昂贵仍是中低收入国家无法开展大规模白内障筛查的主要原因。人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)协助白内障诊断具有便捷、低成本、可远程进行等优点,有望减少甚至避免白内障致盲的发生。文章将对AI通过结合裂隙灯眼前节图像、眼底照片及扫频源光学相干层析图像进行白内障自动诊断等研究进行简要综述。
Cataract is a primary cause of blindness globally, particularly accounting for 50% of blindness cases in low- and middle- income countries. As the population ages, it is predicated that cataract blindness cases in China will rise to 20 million by 2050. However, low health expenditures, scarcity of medical equipment and ophthalmologists, and high screening costs continue to hinder mass cataract screening in these countries. Artificial intelligence(AI)-assisted cataract diagnosis offers significant advantages, including convenience, cost-effectiveness, and remote accessibility, potentially reducing or even eliminating cataract blindness. This review aims to concisely summarize the research on automatic cataract diagnosis utilizing AI, incorporating slit lamp images of anterior eye segment, fundus photographs, and swept source optical coherence tomography images.
圆锥角膜(KC)是一种典型的扩张性眼病,以角膜扩张变薄并向前锥形突起为特征,严重时可致盲。KC三联征之一铁锈色Fleischer环,主要由上皮细胞基底膜周围的铁离子沉积组成。近年来,越来越多研究表明,铁稳态失衡可能与KC的发生和发展密切相关。KC患者泪液中铁相关蛋白的异常表达,提示铁稳态失衡可能是诱发KC的潜在致病机制。此外,角膜上皮细胞内铁稳态失衡导致细胞内铁离子异常积聚,进而引发活性氧和脂质过氧化物的大量生成,最终可能触发细胞铁死亡。从恢复铁稳态角度出发,螯合过量的铁离子和调控铁死亡过程关键靶点可能是未来KC潜在的治疗方法。目前关于铁稳态失衡导致KC发病的具体机制仍存在诸多谜团。随着相关研究的不断深入,有望通过改善角膜铁稳态失衡,为KC临床治疗带来新的思路和突破,也为KC患者提供更精准和个体化的治疗策略。
