年龄相关性黄斑变性(age-related macular degeneration, AMD)是导致老年人失明的主要原因之一,其特征为光感受器的死亡和视网膜色素上皮细胞的变性。该病的发病机制复杂,涉及遗传、环境和代谢等多种因素。细胞衰老是AMD的重要危险因素,表现为细胞在经历有限次数的分裂后进入永久性细胞周期停滞状态。随着年龄增长,衰老细胞的数量增加,并与多种年龄相关的慢性疾病密切相关。细胞衰老的潜在机制包括氧化应激、DNA损伤、线粒体功能障碍、自噬/线粒体自噬缺陷以及表观遗传改变等。在AMD中,色素上皮细胞、血管内皮细胞、Bruch膜、感光细胞和小胶质细胞等不同类型的细胞均表现出衰老及其相关变化。细胞衰老在AMD的发病机制中起着关键作用,涉及多种视网膜细胞类型和血管系统的退化。通过深入研究这些机制,期望能开发出更有效的治疗方法,以帮助患者恢复和保护视力。本文回顾了细胞衰老的生物学机制及其在AMD中的作用,深入探讨了不同细胞衰老引发AMD发病的具体机制,旨在为AMD的发病机制和治疗研究提供新思路。
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness among the elderly, characterized by the degeneration of retinal pigment epithelial cells and the death of photoreceptors. The pathogenesis of AMD is complex, involving a multitude of factors, including genetic, environmental, and metabolic influences. Cellular senescence serves as a significant risk factor for AMD, where cells enter a permanent state of cell cycle arrest after a limited number of divisions. As age increases, the accumulation of senescent cells is closely associated with various age-related chronic diseases. Key mechanisms underlying cellular senescence include oxidative stress, DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, defects in autophagy and mitophagy, and epigenetic alterations. In the context of AMD, various cell types-including pigment epithelial cells, vascular endothelial cells, cells of Bruch's membrane, photoreceptors, and microglia-exhibit signs of senescence and related changes. Cellular senescence plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of AMD, contributing to the degeneration of different retinal cell types and supporting vascular systems. By thoroughly investigating these mechanisms, there is hope for the development of more effective therapies aimed at restoring and protecting vision in affected patients. This article reviews the biological mechanisms of cellular senescence and its role in AMD, exploring how different cell types contribute to the disease's onset, with the goal of providing new insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of AMD.
目的:分析角膜后前表面曲率半径比值(B/F比值)与年龄相关性白内障患者术后屈光误差的关系,探讨B/F比值对人工晶状体(intraocular lens,IOL)度数计算精确性的影响。方法:选取2019年3—11月在天津医科大学眼科医院白内障中心就诊,并拟行单眼白内障手术的年龄相关性白内障患者共197例(197眼),术前应用Pentacam眼前节分析仪测量患者眼前节生物参数,并以B/F比值下限25%、上限25%为界将患者分为下25%组、25%~75%组、上25%组。术后3个月应用全自动电脑验光仪评估患者术后屈光状态,并计算患者术后屈光误差(postoperative refractive error,PE),比较三组平均屈光误差(mean refractive error,ME)、平均绝对误差(mean absolute error,MAE)、中位数绝对误差(median absolute error,MedAE)以及屈光误差在±0.25、±0.50、±0.75、±1.00、>±1.00 D范围内百分比差异。结果:B/F比值与年龄相关性白内障患者术后屈光误差呈中度相关(r=?0.445, P<0.001)。随着B/F比值增大,患者术后屈光状态由远视向近视漂移,术后3个月MAE、MedAE分别为0.55 D、0.46 D。屈光误差在±0.25、±0.50、±0.75、±1.00、>±1.00 D范围的百分比分别为29.4%、52.8%、71.6%、87.6%、12.7%。根据正常年龄相关性白内障人群B/F比值优化得到的矫正角膜折射指数计算角膜曲率后,MAE、MedAE分别为0.51、0.43 D,均低于矫正前(P<0.05)。结论:B/F比值对年龄相关性白内障患者术后屈光状态有影响。随着B/F比值的增加,白内障患者术后屈光状态由远视逐渐向近视漂移,且B/F比值越偏离正常平均值,患者的屈光误差绝对值越大。
Objective: To analyze the relationship between corneal B/F ratio and postoperative refractive error in age-related cataract patients, and to explore the impact of B/F ratio on the accuracy of intraocular lens power calculation. Methods: A total of 197 age-related cataract patients (197 eyes) who were treated in the cataract center of our hospital from March 2019 to November 2019 and were going to undergo monocular cataract surgery were selected. The biological parameters of the anterior segment were measured by Pentacam anterior segment analyzer before surgery, and the patients were divided into three groups (25% below the B/F ratio, 25%~75%, and 25% below the B/F ratio) with the lower limit and the upper limit of 25%. Three months after surgery, the postoperative refractive state of patients was evaluated by automatic computerized refractometer, and the postoperative refractive error (PE) was calculated, and the percentage differences of mean refractive error (ME), mean absolute error (MAE), median absolute error (MedAE) and refractive error in the range of ±0.25, ±0.50, ±0.75, ±1.00 and < ±1.00D were evaluated. Results: The B/F ratio was moderately correlated with postoperative refractive error in age-related cataract patients (r= ?0.445, P < 0.001). With the increase of B/F ratio, the refractive state of patients shifted from hyperopia to myopia after surgery, and the MAE and MedAE were 0.55 D and 0.46 D respectively in 3 months after surgery. The percentages of refractive error in the range of ±0.25, ±0.50, ±0.75, ±1.00 and < ±1.00 D were 29.4%, 52.8%, 71.6%, 87.6% and 12.7%, respectively. After adjusting the corneal curvature according to the B/F ratio of the population based on our previous study, MAE and MedAE were 0.51 D and 0.43 D, respectively, which were lower than those before correction (P< 0.05). Conclusions: There is a correlation between B/F ratio and postoperative refractive error in age-related cataract patients. As the B/F ratio increased, the refractive state of the patient gradually drifted from farsightedness to myopia after cataract surgery, and the more the B/F ratio deviated from the normal average, the greater the absolute value of the patient's refractive error.
慢性移植物抗宿主病(chronic graft-versus-host disease,cGVHD)是骨髓移植后最具有破坏性并发症之一。移植物抗宿主病(graft-versus-host disease,GVHD)发生在10%~80%的造血干细胞移植(hematopoietic stem cell transplantation)受者中,而眼睛是人身体最脆弱的器官之一,有40%~60%接受HSCT的患者发生眼部GVHD,它主要影响泪腺、睑板腺、角膜和结膜等。cGVHD相关性干眼(dry eye associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease,cGVHD-DE)是眼部GVHD最多见的表现形式。cGVHD-DE的长期治疗因涉及多学科、多重结合治疗,至今仍然具有挑战性,其除了全身免疫抑制和眼部润滑剂外,通常还使用局部类固醇、环孢霉素和他克莫司滴眼液。针对中度和重度cGVHD-DE的治疗干预包括使用自体血清滴眼液和佩戴巩膜镜等,新兴起的治疗方案包括重链透明质酸 (heavy chain-hvaluronan/穿透素(pentraxin 3)结膜下注射、间充质基质细胞静脉注射、抑制纤维化药物等。
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is one of the most devastating complications following bone marrow transplantation. GVHD develops in 10–80% of patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The eye is one of the most vulnerable organs of the human body. Ocular GVHD occurs in 40–60% of patients with GVHD undergoing HSCT, and it mostly affects the lacrimal glands, meibomian glands, cornea, and conjunctiva. The most common form of ocular GVHD is dry eye disease (DED). The long-term treatment of cGVHD-related dry eye syndrome remains challenging and involves a multidisciplinary approach. Besides systemic immunosuppression and ocular lubricants, topical steroids, topical cyclosporine, and topical tacrolimus are commonly prescribed. Newer therapeutic interventions for moderate and severe cGVHD-related DED include using serum eye drops and scleral contact lenses. Emerging treatment options include subconjunctival injection of heavy chain-hyaluronan (HC-HA)/ pentraxin 3 (PTX3), intravenous injection of mesenchymal stromal cells, antifibrotic drugs, etc. This article reviews the mechanisms, clinical findings, and treatment of cGVHD-related dry eye syndrome.
高度近视(high myopia,HM)作为一种特殊类型的屈光型眼病,不仅会导致进行性、退行性眼底改变,其视神经损伤的患病率也很高。青光眼是全球范围内最常见的一种不可逆致盲性眼病,原发性开角型青光眼(primary open-angle glaucoma,POAG)是最常见的青光眼类型。近年来的研究发现HM与POAG的病理改变存在相似之处。由于HM眼底改变与早期POAG眼底改变容易混淆,HM患者早期发现POAG对延缓或阻止疾病进展很重要。HM患者长期随访不仅要观察黄斑病变,视神经形态与结构改变的观察也不容忽视。
As a special type of refractive eye disease, high myopia (HM) not only causes progressive and degenerative fundus changes, but also has a high prevalence of optic nerve damage. Glaucoma is the most common form of irreversible blinding eye diseases worldwide, among which, primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type. In recent studies, HM is found to have similarities on pathological changes as that of POAG. And HM fundus changes are easily confused with early stage POAG fundus changes; thus, the early detection of POAG on HM patients is highly important on disease deferment or prevention of disease progression. Macular degeneration as well as optic nerve morphology and structural changes are to be observed in the long-term follow-up for HM patients.
年龄相关性黄斑变性(age-related macular degeneration,AMD)是一种发生在黄斑区的退行性变,其中湿性年龄相关性黄斑变性(wet age-related macular degeneration,wAMD)以黄斑区新生血管为主要病理特征,是导致老年人视力受损甚至失明的重要原因,视网膜下纤维化是wAMD最常见的自然后遗症,可导致光感受器、视网膜色素上皮(retinal pigment epithelial,RPE)和脉络膜毛细血管受损,导致不可逆转的中心视力丧失。多种基线特征被发现是视网膜下纤维化的危险因素,可用于预测早期视网膜下纤维化的发生。迄今为止,还没有有效的抗纤维化治疗方法,抗血管内皮生长因子(anti-vascular endothelia growth factor, anti-VEGF)治疗是wAMD的一线治疗方案,该治疗方法不能改善视网膜下纤维化,但及时启动治疗可能有助于预防或延缓纤维化的进展,目前多种靶向分子药物正被研发用于抗纤维化的治疗。该文综述了wAMD视网膜下纤维化的临床表现及意义、预测纤维化形成的基线特征、基本发病机制及潜在的抗纤维化治疗方法,旨在为临床诊治工作提供参考。
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative disease of the macular, and wet age-related macular degeneration(wAMD) is mainly characterized by macular neovascularization, which is an important reason of visual impairment or even blindness in the elderly. Subretinal fibrosis is the most common natural sequelae of wAMD, which can lead to irreversible central vision loss by damaging photoreceptors, RPE, and choroidal capillaries. Multiple baseline features have been identified as the risk factors for subretinal fibrosis, which can be used to predict the early subretinal fibrosis. Heretofore, no anti fibrotic treatment method is effective. Anti vascular endothelial growth factor (anti VEGF) treatment is the first-line treatment for wAMD. This therapy cannot improve subretinal fibrosis, but timely initiation of treatment may help prevent or delay the progression of fibrosis. Currently, multiple targeted molecular drugs are being developed for anti fibrotic treatment. This article reviews the clinical manifestations and significance of subretinal fibrosis in wet age-related macular degeneration, baseline features for predicting the formation of fibrosis, basic pathogenesis, and potential anti-fibrosis treatment methods,aiming to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
原发性干燥综合征(primary Sj?gren’s syndrome,SS)是一种主要累及外分泌腺体的自身免疫性疾病,患者通常因为严重的干眼症状首先就诊于眼科,大多数临床医师对原发性干燥综合征相关性干眼(Sj?gren’s syndrome dry eye disease,SS-DED)认识不足,可能导致漏诊和误诊。侵入性极小的客观检查及生物标志物的发展,将有助于发现SS-DED的真面目,并可能从新的角度阐释其发病机制,为其诊断、分类及治疗提供新的思路。SS-DED的治疗没有特效的药物,大多数患者需接受多种方法的治疗,以了解哪些方法最有效。
Primary Sj?gren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disease that mainly affects exocrine glands. Patients usually refer to ophthalmologists because of severe dry eye symptoms. Most clinicians have insufficient knowledge with dry eye disease associated with primary Sj?gren’s syndrome probably leading to misdiagnosis or missing the diagnosis.The diagnosis of Sj?gren’s syndrome dry eye disease (SS-DED) is difficult, but the extremely invasive objective examination and the development of biomarkers will help to understand this disease and explain its pathogenesis from a new perspective. There is no specific treatment for the SS-DED, and most patients should receive multiple treatments to select the optimal treatment.
真菌性眼内炎是临床上少见的眼内感染疾病。因为其诊断延迟和抗真菌药物的有效性有限,因此真菌性眼内炎常常导致视力严重损害。按照感染性途径,真菌性眼内炎包括内源性和外源性,其中外源性眼内炎常见,进展较快,眼部手术术后感染是常见原因之一。小梁切除术是抗青光眼滤过性手术,是目前手术治疗青光眼的有效方法之一。滤过泡相关性眼内炎是其并发症之一,对患者视功能的损害尤为严重。本文通过回顾1例滤过泡相关性真菌性眼内炎患者的临床病例资料,讨论及分析滤过泡相关性的真菌性眼内炎的危险因素及诊治方法。
Fungal endophthalmitis is a disease which is a rare kind of interocular infection in clinic. Fungal endophthalmitis often results in severe visual impairment because of delayed diagnosis and limited effectiveness of antifungal drugs.Fungal endophthalmitis includes endogenous and exogenous endophthalmitis which is common and progresses rapidly. Postoperative infection is one of the common causes of fungal endophthalmitis. Trabeculectomy is an anti-glaucoma filtering operation, and it is one of the effective methods for glaucoma surgery at present. Glaucoma-filtering bleb infection is one of the complications of trabeculectomy, which can lead to severe visual impairment.In this article, we analyzed and discussed the risk factors, diagnosis and treatment methods about the filtering bleb-associated fungal endophthalmitis.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of vasculogenic mimicry in the primary and recurrent pterygium. Methods: Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1/periodic acid-schiff (CD31/PAS)immunohistochemical double staining method was adopted to detect the expression of VM in 139 cases of pterygium (105 cases of primary pterygium and 34 cases of recurrent pterygium)and 10 cases of normal conjunctival tissues. The correlation between VM and primary pterygium, recurrent pterygium and the factors such as gender and age of patients were analyzed. Human pterygium fibroblasts (HPFs) were primary cultured and identified by immunocytochemical staining. The differences in the number of VM channels between primary HPFs and recurrent HPFs were observed by three-dimensional culture and PAS staining. Results: There was no VM structure in 10 normal conjunctiva and the positive rate of VM was 43.81% in primary pterygium and 82.35% in recurrent pterygium with a significantly difference (P<0.001). Correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation between VM and recurrent pterygium (r=0.332). There was no significant difference in the expression of VM in pterygium patients with different sex, age and course (all P>0.05). Vimentin was positive in the primary cultured cells, which was consistent with the characteristics of fibroblasts. The results of three-dimensional culture and PAS staining indicated that HPFs had the ability to construct VM model in vitro, and the number of VM channels constituted by recurrent HPFs was significantly higher than that by primary HPFs, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion: VM exists in pterygium tissues, and it can be used as one of the blood supply routes, which is closely related to the recurrence of pterygium.

Objective: To analyze computed tomography (CT) manifestations of space-occupying lesions of the orbital bone and their relationship with histopathology. Methods: The clinical data of 15 patients with orbital bone occupying lesions confirmed by clinical manifestations , imaging features and pathological symptoms features were retrospectively collected, and their CT examination, histopathological sections and other clinical manifestations were analyzed. Results: Among the 15 patients, 4 cases were pathologically diagnosed with osteoma, 3 cases of intraosseous hemangioma, 2 cases of osteoid osteoma and 2 cases of ossifying fibroma, 3 cases of eosinophilic granuloma and 1 case of Ewing’s sarcoma. Osteoma was composed of mature lamellar bones, which corresponded to a high-density osteoid nodular protuberance on CT. The pathological features of intraosseous hemangioma were mainly malformed blood vessels between bone trabeculae and typical “fence” and “honeycomb” features on CT. Osteoid osteoma was mainly composed of bone-like tissue and connective tissue, mainly showing round high-density shadow, typical low-density “tumor nest” shadow in the center, and hypertrophic bone density shadow in the periphery. Ossifying fibroma was composed of proliferative fibrous tissue and bone-like tissue. CT showed that the surface of the tumor was often surrounded by bone shell, and the lesions were mostly round or oval. Eosinophilic granuloma was mainly composed of a large number of Langerhans cells, which corresponded to the soft tissue mass on CT and could be accompanied by osteolytic destruction. Ewing’s sarcoma was mainly composed of poorly differentiated small round cells, and CT manifestations were worm-eaten bone destruction with soft tissue lesions between destroyed bone tissues. Conclusion: Various lesions occurring in the orbital bone have their own special pathological composition. Different pathological components show corresponding imaging features on CT.
