:708-714
 
近年来,眼部电流刺激(electrical stimulation,ES)在不同方向的研究中逐渐揭示了其在多种视网膜疾病中的潜在治疗价值。其中,经角膜电刺激(transcorneal electrical stimulation,TES)作为一种非侵入性的治疗方法,能对视网膜、视神经、眼底血管及其相关结构产生积极的影响。TES能够改善视力,在保护感光细胞和减缓疾病进展方面显示出积极效果,提高患者的生存质量,还能够在不损伤眼球的情况下调节大脑中的神经元活动,为视网膜疾病的治疗提供一种新的选择。该文对近年来TES在视网膜色素变性(retinitis pigmentosa,RP)、年龄相关性黄斑变性(age-related macular degeneration,AMD)、视网膜血管病、青光眼以及视神经病变等疾病中的应用研究进行了综述。研究发现,TES治疗是一种安全且无需手术的辅助治疗工具,具有广泛的应用前景。该文旨在为临床医师提供一个全面的TES研究概述,并深入探讨其在眼科学领域的潜在应用价值。然而,TES治疗的具体机制仍需进一步探讨,以便更好地应用于临床实践。同时,未来研究还应关注TES与其他治疗方法相结合的效果,以期为患者提供更多有效的治疗选择。
In recent years, electrical stimulation of the eye (ES) has gradually revealed its potential therapeutic value in a variety of retinal diseasesin different directions. Among them, transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES), as a non-invasive treatment, can have a positive effect on the retina, optic nerve, fundus vessels and related structures. TES can improve vision, show positive effects in protecting photoreceptor cells and slowing disease progression, improve the quality of life of patients, and can regulate neuronal activity in the brain without damaging the eyeball, providing a new option for the treatment of retinal diseases. The research on the application on TES on retinitis pigementosa (RP), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal angiopathy, glaucoma and optic neuropathy are reviewed in this article. It is found in the study that TES therapy is a safe and surgery-free adjuvant therapy tool, and has a wide application prospect. The purpose of this article is to provide clinicians with a comprehensive overview of TES research,and to explore its potential application value in the field of ophthalmology. However, the specific mechanism of TES therapy still needs to be further explored in order to better apply in clinical practice. At the same time, future studies should also focus on the effect of combining TES with other treatment methods, in order to provide more effective treatment options for patients.

原发性玻璃体视网膜淋巴瘤:个案报告及1942至2016年文献回顾

:240-251
 
      原发性玻璃体视网膜淋巴瘤(primary vitreoretinal lymphoma, PVRL)作为原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤(primary central nervous system lymphoma,PCNSL)的一个亚型,是一种罕见的致命性眼部恶性肿瘤。多数PVRL会伪装成慢性后葡萄膜炎,这使得临床诊断具有挑战性。玻璃体细胞、视网膜下液和影像学检查对临床诊断至关重要。而对恶性细胞的细胞学检查与组织病理学诊断是PVRL诊断的金标准。此外,免疫球蛋白重链(immunoglobulin heavy chain, IgH)或T细胞受体(Tcell receptor, TCR)基因重排的分子生物学检测、细胞标志物的免疫表型检测、以及细胞因子检测如IL-10的表达升高均可作为辅助诊断工具。目前PVRL的治疗主要包括局部放射及玻璃体腔内注射化疗药物(甲氨蝶呤和利妥昔单抗),根据眼外组织是否受累决定是否联合全身化疗。对伴随PCNSL的患者,在全身大剂量甲氨蝶呤联合利妥昔单抗治疗的基础上,考虑联合局部治疗、全脑放疗和/或自体干细胞移植。尽管PVRL对初始治疗反应良好,但因其复发率高,常出现CNS受累,使PVRL的生存期预后较差。因此建立一个包含眼科医师、眼科病理学家、神经肿瘤学家以及血液肿瘤学家在内的专业团队来优化患者的治疗方案显得尤为重要。

Purpose: To explore the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the aqueous humor in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Methods: Aqueous humor samples were collected in type 2 diabetic patients during cataract surgery. The classification of DR was assigned based on the fundus examination and fluorescein angiography after cataract surgery. The experiment group included non-diabetic retinopathy (NDR, 21 cases), background diabetic retinopathy (BDR, 26 cases), and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR, 19 cases). The control group was the healthy cataract patients (20 cases). The levels of VEGF and IL-6 in the aqueous humor were assessed using the ELISA technique.

Results: The level of VEGF in NDR, BDR, and PDR cases were (240.30 ± 26.15) pg/ml, (292.27 ± 58.91) pg/ml, and (477.41 ± 91.01) pg/ml, respectively. The level of IL-6 in NDR, BDR, and PDR cases were (160.83 ± 33.41) pg/ml, (238.60 ± 62.23) pg/ml, and (389.13 ± 90.35) pg/ml, respectively. The levels of VEGF and IL-6 in the aqueous humor from the control group were (140.58 ± 26.27) pg/ml, (82.72 ± 21.53) pg/ml. The levels of VEGF and IL-6 were significantly different in experiment and control groups (F = 113.67, P < 0.01; F = 106.53, P < 0.01). In the aqueous humor of diabetic patients increased significantly (P < 0.1). The levels of VEGF and IL-6 were significantly correlated with each other in the experiment group (r = 0.995, P < 0.01). The levels of VEGF (r = 0.792, 0.826, 0.841, P < 0.01) and IL-6 ((r = 0.829, 0.817, 0.896, P < 0.01) were also significantly correlated with the duration of DR.

Conclusion: VEGF and IL-6 play important roles in the development of DR. The levels of these two factors are correlated with each other in DR patients.

方法:采用免疫组化方法检测 40 例 RB 中 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 的表达。

结果:40 例 RB 中 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 的阳性表达率分别为 52.5%、57.5% 和 72.5%。未分化型 RB 中 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 的阳性表达均高于分化型(P < 0.05);有视神经浸润的 RB 中 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 的阳性水平均高于无视神经浸润的 RB(P < 0.05)。RB 中 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 的表达呈正相关关系(P < 0.05)。

结论:RB 中 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 高表达与 RB 的浸润和转移相关,且 MMP-2、MMP-9 表达与 VEGF 表达存在相关性。联合检测 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 的表达可作为反映 RB 浸润、转移潜能的生物学指标,有助于筛选转移高危病例及评价患者预后。

Purpose: To study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in retinoblastoma (RB) and its relationship with the differentiation and optic nerve infiltration of RB. And to investigate the role of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and VEGF in the infiltration and metastasis of RB and their clinical significance.

Methods: Immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the protein expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF in 40 RB cases.

Results: The MMP-2, MMP-9 protein and VEGF protein expression were detected as positive in 52.5%, 57.5% and 72.5% of 40 RB cases respectively. The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF was significantly higher in the undifferentiated pattern than in the rosetted pattern (p < 0.05); and the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF was significantly higher in tumors with optic nerve invasion than in those without optic nerve invasion (p < 0.05). In RB, the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 had a positive correlation with the expression of VEGF.

Conclusions: In RB, high expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF is related to the invasion and metastasis of RB. The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 is positively correlated with the expression of VEGF. The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF may act as a biological marker for the invasion and metastasis of RB. The method may help screen and identify the cases with high risk for metastasis and to predict the prognosis of patients.
