儿童白内障是全球范围内可治疗儿童盲症的主要原因之一。对于这些患儿而言,手术是恢复或保护视力的主要方法。然而,手术后的并发症,特别是青光眼相关不良事件(glaucoma-related adverse events, GRAEs),常常成为导致儿童二次致盲的主要原因,这引起了眼科医疗领域的广泛关注。文章综述了儿童Ⅱ期人工晶状体植入术后GRAEs的影响因素,包括手术设计、眼部解剖特征、其他眼部发育异常和全身疾病等。手术设计中是否植入人工晶状体(intraocular lens,IOL)以及植入的时机和位置都对GRAEs的发生有显著影响。此外,眼部解剖特征如角膜直径、眼轴长度、前房深度、中央角膜厚度和术前晶状体厚度等,也是影响GRAEs发生的重要因素。同时,其他眼部发育异常和全身疾病,如先天性无虹膜、先天性风疹综合征等,也会增加儿童白内障术后青光眼的发生率。文章还总结了预测GRAEs的方法,并推荐使用Cox回归模型建立预测模型。这种模型可以有效地预测儿童Ⅱ期IOL植入术后在特定时间段内发展为GRAEs的概率,从而为早期识别GRAEs高危儿童提供了重要的借鉴。通过对GRAEs影响因素的深入分析和预测模型的建立,文章旨在帮助眼科医生更好地理解GRAEs的发生机制,并在手术前对患儿进行风险评估,从而选择最佳的手术方案和预防措施。这对于改善患儿的术后恢复、减少并发症、保护视功能具有重要的临床意义。
Pediatric cataract is one of the leading causes of treatable childhood blindness worldwide. For these children, surgery is the primary method to restore or preserve vision. However, postoperative complications, particularly glaucoma-related adverse events (GRAEs), often become the main reason for secondary blindness in children, attracting widespread concern in the field of ophthalmology. This study reviews the impact factors of glaucoma-related adverse events after secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in children, including surgical design, ocular anatomical characteristics, other ocular developmental abnormalities, and systemic diseases. Whether to implant an IOL in the surgical design and the timing and positioning of the implantation have a significant impact on the occurrence of GRAEs. In addition, ocular anatomical characteristics, such as corneal diameter, axial length, anterior chamber depth, central corneal thickness, and preoperative lens thickness, are also important factors affecting the occurrence of GRAEs. At the same time, other ocular developmental abnormalities and systemic diseases, such as congenital aniridia and congenital rubella syndrome, also increase the incidence of glaucoma after pediatric cataract surgery. The article also summarizes methods for predicting GRAEs and recommends using the Cox regression model to establish a predictive model. This model can effectively predict the probability of children developing GRAEs after secondary IOL implantation within a specific time period, providing an important reference for the early identification of high-risk children for GRAEs. Through in-depth analysis of the impact factors of GRAEs and the establishment of predictive models, the article aims to help ophthalmologists better understand the mechanisms of GRAEs and assess the risks of children before surgery, thereby selecting the best surgical plan and preventive measures. This is of great clinical significance for improving postoperative recovery in children, reducing complications, and protecting visual function.
Congenital cataract (CC) is one of the most common causes of pediatric visual impairment. As our understanding of CC's etiology, clinical manifestations, and pathogenic genes deepens,various CC categorization systems based on diferent classifcation criteria have been proposed. Regrettably, the application of the CC category in clinical practice and scientifc research is limited. It is challenging to obtain preciseinformation that could guide the timely treatment decision-making for pediatric cataract patients or predict their prognosis from a specific CC classification. This review aims to discuss the statusquo of CC categorization systems and the potential directions for future research in this field, focusingon categorization principles and scientific application in clinical practice. Additionally, it aims to propose the potential directions for future research in this domain.

Ⅱ期人工晶状体(intraocular lens,IOL)植入常用于矫正先天性白内障摘除术后无晶状体眼状态。IOL屈光力计算是影响儿童Ⅱ期IOL植入术后视功能发育和改善的关键因素之一。现有IOL屈光力计算公式是基于成人有晶状体眼的数据研发,能准确预测成人眼IOL植入的屈光力,但是对儿童Ⅱ期IOL植入的屈光力预测准确性欠佳,主要原因包括:1)儿童II期植入术前为无晶状体眼,缺乏部分公式定义中的有晶状体眼的前房深度(是指从角膜前表面中央顶点到晶状体前表面的距离)和晶状体厚度。2)公式根据囊袋内植入IOL预测屈光力,但儿童Ⅱ期IOL睫状沟植入术在临床上应用更为广泛。当IOL植入睫状沟时有效晶状体位置发生前移,可能引起屈光预测误差。3)成人眼的发育已完成,目标屈光度多为正视或近视眼(-3.00 ~ +1.00 D),但是儿童眼仍在发育,需针对其特性测算合适的远视目标屈光度(+0.50 ~ +12.00 D)以适应眼球发育引起的屈光变化。为使Ⅱ期IOL植入患儿达到术前预设的目标屈光度,对现有公式进行选择与优化至关重要。
Secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is a common treatment for pediatric aphakia. The accurate prediction of IOL power calculation plays a pivotal role in the postoperative development and improvement of visual function for pediatric secondary IOL implantation. Current IOL power calculation formulas were developed based on data from adult phakic eyes and displayed good performance in adult population. However, the formulas showed poor performance in pediatric aphakic population due to the following reasons: 1) In these pediatric aphakic patients, the unavailability of phakic anterior chamber depth (the distance from corneal epithelium to the anterior surface of the lens) and lens thickness (LT) greatly limits the application of some IOL power calculation formulas. 2) IOL power calculation formulas predict the effective lens position on the basis of in-the-bag IOL implantation, whereas sulcus implantation is more widely used in pediatric secondary implantation. Effective lens position in capsular placement is more posterior to ciliary sulcus IOL placement. When applying the initial IOL power calculated for capsular implantation to sulcus implantation, it can lead to refractive errors. 3) Adult eyes have completed their development, with target refractions often being emmetropic or myopic (-3.00 ~ +1.00 D), while pediatric eyes are still developing, necessitating the calculation of an appropriate hyperopic (+0.50 ~ +12.00 D) target refraction to accommodate refractive changes due to ocular growth.To achieve the predetermined target refractive outcomes, the selection and optimization of IOL power calculation formulas is critically important for pediatric secondary IOL implantation.

Objective: To evaluate the teaching needs and satisfaction of the eight-year program medical students to the whole-course tutors. Methods: An anonymous online questionnaire survey was conducted among the eight-year program medical students at Sun Yat-sen University. All students were divided the junior group and the senior group, and the differences between the two groups were compared. Results: A total of 352 valid questionnaires were collected. The proportion of students who were fairly satisfied with their whole-course tutors was 45.56% in the junior group and 37.79% in the senior group (P=0.087). The proportion of students who were fairly satisfied with the whole-course tutorial system was 36.67% in the junior group and 33.14% in the senior group (P=0.806). The proportion of students who “know well” and “know fairly well” about the whole-course tutorial system in the junior group was significantly lower than that in the senior group (16.67% vs 77.91%, P<0.001). The proportion of students in the junior group expecting their whole-course tutors “having a great impact” or “having some impact” on career planning, clinical thinking, scientific research thinking and mental health was significantly higher than that in the senior group (tests for proportions, all P<0.001, 83.33% vs 36.63%, 92.22% vs 29.07%, 91.67% vs 31.39%, 62.78% vs 38.37%). Conclusion: The eight-year program medical students are satisfied with their whole-course tutors and the whole-course tutorial system. However, some problems still exist, such as lower grade students lack of understanding of the whole-course tutorial system, insufficient contact between tutors and students, the actual influences of tutors failing to meet the students’ expectation, and insufficient opportunity of scientific research and training. It is urgent to improve the whole-course tutorial system and promote the cultivation of qualified medical talents.

内源性干细胞在组织的损伤修复过程中组织相容性好、致瘤风险低,相较于外源性干细胞具有不需要体外扩增和培养、疾病传播风险低的优点,在细胞治疗领域具有显著优势。现在已经有多种使用内源性干细胞进行疾病治疗的成熟方式,应用领域包括了全身各种器质性和功能性疾病。在眼组织中,晶状体具有终生生长的能力且便于观察,是实现再生修复的突破点。哺乳动物中晶状体再生的实现有赖于晶状体内源性干细胞的定位和改良手术方式,以保留晶状体干细胞,并创造适合晶状体再生的微环境。对再生后的晶状体蛋白质组成分析,发现其类似成熟晶状体,而非胚胎期的晶状体,提示晶状体再生的调控与胚胎期的诱导发生并不相同;而调控晶状体再生的策略不仅着眼于干细胞的激活和正确分化的诱导,对其上皮间质转化过程也需要进行调控。在未来,为将晶状体再生的经验应用于其他眼组织中,动员内源性干细胞并促进其生长,可以添加细胞有效成分,比如外泌体、线粒体、小分子化合物等,模拟细胞应激;此外,还可以通过手术或生物材料辅助,恢复晶状体结构和环境。
Endogenous stem cells have significant advantages in cell therapy for excellent histocompatibility, low tumorigenicity risk, unnecessity for in vitro expansion and culture, and low disease transmission risk. There have been some applications for endogenous stem cells in treating diseases, targeting some organic and functional diseases throughout the body. In ocular tissue, the lens is a breakthrough for regenerative therapy due to its potential to grow throughout life and observation accessibility. Achieving lens regeneration in adult mammals attributes to some prerequisites. Firstly, the location of endogenous stem cells in the lens has been identified. Then, surgical approaches have been advanced to preserve lens stem cells and create a microenvironment suitable for lens regeneration. Protein compositional analysis of the regenerated lens reveals that it is similar to a mature lens rather than an embryonic lens, suggesting that the regulation of lens regeneration is not the same as the induction of embryonic onset. The strategy for regulating lens regeneration needs to focus not only on the activation and proper differentiation of stem cells but also on regulating the process of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). In the future, in order to apply the experiences of lens regeneration to other ocular tissues, to mobilize endogenous cells and promote their growth, some strategies could be used. These strategies include mimicking cellular stress via the addition of cellular active ingredients, such as exosome, mitochondria, and small molecular compounds. Additionally, we can also try to restore lens tissue structure and microenvironment through surgical or biomaterial assistance.
