Objective: To develop a cellular-level, high-resolution, integrated dual-modal full-field optical coherence tomography (FFOCT) system capable of simultaneously imaging the structure and function of limbus tissue. Methods: Utilizing the Linnik interference imaging principle, a high-resolution dual-modal FFOCT system was designed and constructed using a high numerical aperture (NA=0.8) microscope objective and a high-speed flat CMOS camera. A functional imaging reconstruction algorithm based on four-phase modulation structure image extraction and dynamic frequency spectrum analysis of temporal interference signals was developed. The effectiveness of dual-mode FFOCT imaging at various depth layers of human corneal limbal tissue was validated. Results: The constructed dual-modal FFOCT imaging system achieved lateral resolution of 0.5 μ m, axial resolution of 1.7 μ m, imaging field of view of 320 μ m × 320 μ m, and camera acquisition speed of 100 Hz. The system enabled cellular-level resolution three-dimensional structural and intrinsic functional imaging of corneal limbal tissue without exogenous labeling. Static structural FFOCT images clearly displayed limbal epithelium, palisades of Vogt, crypts, stroma, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels, while dynamic functional FFOCT images highlighted metabolically active cells (limbal epithelial cells, immune cells, etc.). Conclusion: The dual-modal FFOCT high-resolution imaging system provides visualization of corneal limbal microstructural and live cell intrinsic functional information without labeling, offering a novel imaging analysis technique for research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of limbal diseases.

Objective: To investigate a non-invasive,smart device capable of monitoring the quantitative visual behavior of school age children, and to analyze quantitatively the relationship between visual behavior and the occurrence of myopia. Methods: This study recruited 171 subjects aged between 7 and 11 years from the third grade of Shiwan SecondPrimary School and the fifth grade of Shicheng Middle School in Chancheng District, Foshan City. Participants werecategorized into a myopia group (108 subjects) and a non-myopia group (63 subjects) based on results from non-ciliary muscle paralysis optometry. All subjects wore "clips" to track their near-work distance, near-work duration, lighting conditions during near-work, and time spent on outdoor activities between September 21, 2020, and October 10, 2020. Differences in these habits between the myopia and non-myopia groups were compared, and logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the impact of habitual eye use on myopia. Results: The prevalence of myopia was found to be 63.2%. Statistically significant differences (all P<0.05) were observed between the myopic and non-myopic groups regarding average daily near-work time, average single near-work session duration, average near-work distance, average daytime and nighttime near-work lighting conditions, average daily outdoor activity time, and average daily effective outdoor activity exposure. Logistic regression analysis indicated that longer average single near-work sessions and increased average daily near-work time were risk factors for myopia. Spearman correlation analysis further supported these findings, showing a positive correlation between average single near-work session duration and average daily near-work time with the occurrence of myopia (all P<0.05). The predictive accuracy of a model combining average single near-work session duration and average daily near-work time for myopia occurrence was high, with an area under the curve of 0.939. Conclusions: The wearable device "Cloud clip" effectively monitors the visual behavior of school-age children. The occurrence of myopia in this age group may be associated with increased near-work activities. A predictive model incorporating refractive development in myopic children can assess the quantitative risk of myopia, enabling the classification and management of school-age children. Personalized interventions may serve as protective factors against myopia.

Peripheral iridectomy, glaucoma drainage device implantation or trabeculectomy, were performed in these patients. Results: Three HSS patients were 9, 29 and 47 years old, respectively, including 2 females and 1 male. The best corrected visual acuity was 0.04-0.5. The mean spherical equivalent refraction was +12.1 D. The average IOP was 37.7 mm Hg, and the average corneal diameter was 9.1 mm. The average central anterior chamber depth was 2.43mm. The average axial length was 18.13mm. Keratometry showed average K1 of 56.97 degrees, and K2 of 60.65 degrees. Two younger patients were aphakic bilaterally with uveitis, pupillary fibrous membrane and peripapillary choroidal atrophy. The older patient showed blue sclera, cataract, and anterior chamber angle closure. The horizontal orbital diameter was 28.76-31.40 mm, and vertical orbital diameter was 30.16-32.90 mm. All patients were proportionate nanism, with an average height of 143 cm. Craniofacial manifestations included dyscephalia and “bird-like” face, hypotrichosis, dental anomalies, and mandibular hypoplasia. They were followed up for an average of 47.7 months(range:11-84 months) after surgery. The IOPs were all controlled, and the visual acuities remained unchanged. No treatment-related complications occurred. Conclusions: HSS patients with glaucoma may present as small orbit, microphthalmia, microcornea, blue sclera, aphakia, pupillary fibrous membrane, uveitis, with atrophic chorioretinal changes. For these patients, personalized treatment may help to achieve better therapeutic effects.

碳点是一种新型荧光碳纳米材料,直径一般小于10 nm,具有自发荧光、高生物组织相容性、易于修饰、成本低廉等优点,在生物医学领域拥有广阔的应用前景。眼球因其独特的屏障结构,常规药物停留时间短、穿透性差,通过局部滴眼到达病灶的药物浓度有限,需要增加给药频次以保持药效。另外,糖尿病性黄斑水肿(diabetic macular edema,DME)、脉络膜新生血管(diabetic macular edema,CNV)等疾病的治疗给药则需依赖于玻璃体腔注射,该方法属于有创操作,有引起潜在并发症的可能,且需多次注射,给患者造成了沉重的心理和经济负担。优化眼部给药方法一直是眼科学领域的研究热点。基于碳点的优异特性,碳点在眼部药物递送、眼部成像、眼疾病诊疗中已展现出优秀的应用潜力。本综述将综合介绍碳点的特点及近十年来碳点在眼科疾病诊疗中的研究进展,旨在提供关于碳点在眼科应用现状的系统性认识,为未来研究提供方向。
Carbon dots is a new type of fluorescent carbon nanomaterial, which the diameter is generally less than 10 nm, has the advantages of self-fluorescence, remarkable biocompatibility, easy modification, low cost and so on, has a broad application prospect in the biomedical field. Due to the unique barrier of the eye, conventional drugs have a short residence time and poor penetration, so the concentration of drugs that can reach the lesions through local eye drops is limited, and for what to increase the frequency of administration to maintain efficacy. Up to now, the treatment of posterior eye diseases, such as diabetic macular edema (DME), choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and other diseases still rely on repeated vitreous injection, which is an invasive procedure with potential complications, and need multiple injections, causing a heavy psychological and economic burden on patients. Optimizing the method of ocular drug delivery has always been a hot topic in the field of ophthalmology. Carbon dots have shown excellent application potential in the ocular drug delivery, ocular imaging, and diagnosis and treatment of ocular disease based on its excellent characteristics. This review will systematically introduce the characteristics of carbon dots and the application of carbon dots in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current situation of the application of carbon dots in ophthalmology and provide directions for future research.
糖基化是一种重要的蛋白质翻译后修饰,通常发生在内质网和高尔基体的特定位置。N-糖基化和O-糖基化是最常见的糖基化修饰类型。与其他翻译后修饰相比,糖基化具有独特的生物学意义,包括结构的复杂多样性,生物功能的重要性以及进化上的保守性。糖基化修饰对于蛋白质稳定性、细胞黏附与识别、细胞内信号传导和表观遗传学具有重要影响,从而参与调节细胞生物学和发病机制。近年来,越来越多的研究揭示了糖基化参与眼部疾病的发生和发展,包括眼表疾病、圆锥角膜、青光眼、年龄相关性黄斑变性、视网膜色素变性、糖尿病视网膜病变等。眼部蛋白糖基化异常可通过诱发新生血管形成、炎症反应、氧化应激、异常免疫应答等改变细胞的结构与功能,进而影响各种眼病的发生发展。通过深入研究糖基化在不同眼部疾病中的作用机制,可以为相关眼部疾病的早期诊断和治疗提供新的思路和方法。现综述糖基化在眼部疾病的研究进展,以探究调控蛋白质糖基化对眼部疾病的诊疗意义。
Glycosylation is an important post-translational modification of proteins that usually occurs at specific locations within the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. N-glycosylation and O-glycosylation are the most common types of glycosylation modifications. Compared to other post-translational modifications, glycosylation has unique biological significance, including structural complexity and diversity, crucial biological functions, and evolutionary conservation. Glycosylation modifications significantly impact protein stability, cell adhesion and recognition, intracellular signal transduction, and epigenetics, thereby regulating cellular biology and pathogenesis. In recent years, an increasing amount of research has revealed the involvement of glycosylation in the occurrence and development of ocular diseases, including ocular surface diseases, keratoconus, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and diabetic retinopathy. Abnormal glycosylation of ocular proteins can induce changes in cell structure and function through mechanisms such as neovascularization, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and abnormal immune response, thereby influencing the occurrence and development of various eye diseases. By deeply studying the mechanisms of glycosylation in different ocular diseases, new insights and methods can be provided for the early diagnosis and treatment of related ocular diseases. This review summarizes the research progress of glycosylation in ocular diseases to explore the diagnostic and therapeutic significance of regulating protein glycosylation in ocular diseases.
