Purtscher-like retinopathy is a rare retinal vascular disease. In this study,the clinical characteristics of 13 cases of Purtscher-like retinopathy were analyzed. Typical fundus abnormalities included Purtscher flecken (22 eyes), cotton-wool spots (22 eyes), retinal hemorrhages (13 eyes), macular edema (22 eyes), swelling of optic disk (12 eyes), and falsecherry red spots (10 eyes). The abnomal manifestations of fluorescein angiography included non perfusion area of capillaries (21 eyes), and precapillary occlusion (22 eyes). Among 13 patients, 9 patients were treated with glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive drugs, and 4 patients were treated with circulation-improving and neurotrophic drugs. During the follow-up period of two months to five years, four patients (six eyes) experienced neuroepithelial atrophy and persistent low vision (<0.1). Based on literature review, we proposed that the prognosis of vision in Purtscher-like retinopathy may be associated with macular edema and the formation of capillary non-perfusion.

Objective: To evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of quantification of macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries in normal eyes using Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 angiography. Methods: Forty normal eyes were included in this prospective study. Angiography 3 mm × 3 mm scan protocol centered on the disc or macula of the same eye was repeated 3 times by operator A in the same period on 3 days (T1, T2, T3) within 1 week,and the FastTracTM image tracking function was turned on during the scan. Operator B repeated the same scan independently at T2 after operator A. Angio Plex MetrixTM quantification software (version 10.0) was used to automatically measure the vessel length density (VD) and vascular perfusion density (PD) of macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries. One-way analysis of variance or nonparametric test was used to compare the VD and PD measurements of the 3 scans. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and coefficient of variation (CV)were calculated to evaluate the intra-operator repeatability. Consistent correlation coefficient (CCC), repeatability coefficient (CR), and CV were calculated to evaluate the inter-operator reproducibility. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the measurements of VD and PD between the 3 scans of the macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries by operator A (P>0.05). The ICC values for the 3 scans of VD and PD of the macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries by operator A were 0.260–0.517 and 0.362~0.898, respectively.The CV values of the VD and PD of the macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries were all <8.1%. The inter-operator CCC values of the macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries were 0.3130–0.5665 and 0.5149~0.7801,respectively; the CR values of the VD and PD of macula were 3.2212–4.6399 and 0.0574–0.0832, respectively; the CR values of the VD and PD of optic disc were 2.0675–4.0630 and 0.0447–0.0730, respectively. The CV values of macular were all <9.0%, and the CV values of optic disc were all <6.9%. Conclusion:The macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries parameters in the same period on different days have a good repeatability and reproducibility,while the superficial macular blood flow parameters have relatively poor repeatability and reproducibility.
目的:探讨原发性慢性闭角型青光眼(chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma,CPACG)患者的视网膜血流密度(vessel density,VD)与视野缺损程度的相关性。方法:光学相干断层血管成像技术(optical coherence tomography angiography,OCTA)测量89例(112眼)视野缺损的CPACG患者的黄斑区VD、视盘旁VD,分析VD与视野缺损程度的相关性。结果:视盘旁VD与视野缺损程度成负相关(r>–0.728,P<0.05)。黄斑浅层总VD的受试者工作曲线(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)及曲线下面积(area under the curve,AUC)为0.874。在控制年龄、眼压及视力的情况下,黄斑总浅层VD每降低1%,视野平均缺损(mean deviation,MD)值增加–0.639 dB。结论:CPACG患者VD与视野缺损呈线性负相关,OCTA可以方便无创地观察青光眼患者眼底血流情况,在视野缺损前发现视网膜VD降低,从而可以作为CPACG早期诊断的参考指标。
Objective: To investigate the correlation between the retinal vessel density (VD) and the degree of visual field loss in chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG). Methods: Eighty-nine CPACG patients (112 eyes)with different degrees of visual field loss were measured with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) for macular VD and para-optic microcirculation VD, and the correlation between them and the degree of visual field defect were analyzed. Results: There was a negative correlation between the VD of the microcirculation in each zone next to the optic disc and the degree of visual field loss (r>–0.728, P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) of the total VD of the superficial macula is 0.874. Under the condition of controlling age, intraocular pressure and vision, for every 1% decrease in the total superficial macular VD, the average visual field defect mean deviation (MD) value increases –0.639 dB. Conclusion: The VD of CPACG patients is linearly negatively correlated with visual field defects. OCTA can conveniently and non-invasively observe the blood flow of the fundus in patients with glaucoma. It is found that the retinal VD is reduced before visual field defects, which can be used as a reference index for early diagnosis of CPACG.
抗血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)治疗视网膜静脉阻塞(retinal vein occlusion,RVO)继发黄斑水肿(macular edema,ME)的有效性及安全性已得到广泛证实。但抗VEGF治疗方案尚无统一标准。现行的治疗方案主要包括固定治疗方案、按需(pro re nata,PRN)治疗方案、稳定性标准驱使的按需(stabilization criteria-driven PRN)治疗方案、治疗与延长(treat and extend,T&E)方案。近年来不少研究综合比较了各个治疗方案在改善视功能、量化评估疾病活动性、调整随访频率等多个维度的表现,为临床医生提供选择抗VEGF治疗方案的参考依据。本文旨在回顾并总结近年来对抗VEGF药物治疗RVO继发ME的研究,阐述抗VEGF治疗方案的研究进展。
The efficacy and safety of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the treatment of macular edema (ME) secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) have been widely confirmed. However, there is no unified standard for anti-VEGF treatment regimens. Current treatment regimens mainly include fixed treatment regimen, pro re nata (PRN) treatment regimen, stabilization criteria-driven PRN treatment regimen, and treat and extend (T&E) regimen. In recent years, many studies have compared different treatment regimens in composite dimensions,including improving visual function, assessing disease activity quantitatively and adjusting the follow-up frequency,to provide clinicians with a reference of choosing anti-VEGF treatment regimens. The purpose of this article is to review and summarize recent researches on anti-VEGF drugs in the treatment of ME secondary to RVO, and to clarify the research progress in the anti-VEGF treatment regimens.
目的:应用生物信息学方法分析视网膜母细胞瘤(retinoblastoma,RB)基因表达谱芯片,从转录水平探讨RB与正常视网膜组织的差异表达基因(differentially expressed genes,DEGs)的功能及相互作用。方法:通过公共基因表达数据库(gene expression omnibus,GEO)数据库中选取GSE97508和GSE110811两个芯片数据,共有34个RB组织和6个正常视网膜组织。利用GEO2R工具对和Draw Venn Diagrams软件,筛选出正常视网膜组织与RB组织间的DEGs。通过在线STRING检索工具(search tool for the retrieval of interacting genes,STRING),对DEGs进行基因本体注释(gene ontology,GO)、KEGG富集通路分析、蛋白互作(protein-protein interaction,PPI)K分析。结果:在2个芯片中发现视网膜母细胞瘤共有20个DEGs,包括3个上调DEGs和17个下调DEGs,GO本体注释结果显示表达上调DEGs所富集的功能主要在细胞分裂、染色体浓缩、核分裂和DNA构象改变。下调DEGs主要富集在光传导、视觉感知、光感受器细胞修复、感光细胞内外节和调节视紫红质介导的信号通路等。KEGG通路显示上调DEGs没有显著的信号通路,下调DEGs参与光传导信号通路,其中包括CNGA1,CNGB1,RHO,SAG四个基因,通过PPI网络提示这4个基因相互联系,并发现与其他节点连接最紧密核心基因RHO。结论:利用生物信息学方法能有效对RB基因芯片数据进行挖掘,为进一步研究RB发生发展机制及寻找潜在的药物治疗靶点提供参考。
Objective: To find differentially expressed genes between retinoblastoma and normal retinal tissues by bioinformatics analysis, and to investigate their molecular function and interactions in the transcriptional level.Methods: The gene expression profile datasets GSE97508 and GSE110811, including 34 retinoblastoma (RB) tissues and 6 normal retinal tissues, were downloaded from gene expression omnibus (GEO). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between normal retinal tissues and RB tissues were identified by GEO2R tool and the Draw Venn Diagrams software. The gene ontology (GO) analysis, KEGG pathway and protein-protein interaction (PPI) were analyzed by STRING. Results: In two microarrays of retinoblastoma we found total 20 DEGs were identified, including 3 up-regulated and 17 down-regulated genes. The GO ontology annotation results showed that the enrichment functions of up-regulated genes were mainly in cell division, chromosome enrichment, nuclear division, and DNA conformation change. Down-regulated genes were mainly concentrated in light conduction,visual perception, photoreceptor cell repair, photoreceptor cell inner and outer segment, and regulation of rhodopsin mediated signaling pathway. The KEGG pathway showed that there was no significant signal pathway in which up-regulated genes up-regulated DEGs, and down-regulated genes were involved in the phototransduction signaling pathway, including four genes of CNGA1, CNGB1, RHO and SAG. PPI network suggested that these four genes were interlinked, and RHO was found to be the most closely connected core gene with other nodes.Conclusion: Bioinformatics can be used effectively to analyze RB microarray data to provide theoretical reference for further exploration of tumorigenesis mechanism and help search for potential drug therapeutic targets.
目的:分析不同程度2型糖尿病视网膜病变的血清生化全套指标,探讨各生化指标与糖尿病性视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy,DR)程度的相关性。方法:回顾性收集2018年5月至2020年10月在福建医科大学附属第二医院就诊的2型糖尿病患者。根据眼底情况分为3组:糖尿病不伴视网膜病变(non-diabetic retinopathy,NDR)组(17例)、糖尿病伴非增殖性视网膜病变(non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy,NPDR)组(29例)、糖尿病伴增殖期视网膜病变(proliferative diabetic retinopathy,PDR)组(34例)。采用SPSS 24.0分析比较3组血清生化全套各指标水平,对差异指标与DR相关性采用Pearson相关分析与多重线性回归分析。结果:3组年龄差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);3组的总蛋白、白蛋白、白球比、钙浓度差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。组间比较发现NPDR和PDR组总蛋白、白蛋白、白球比、钙浓度低于NDR组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。Pearson相关分析显示总蛋白(r=?0.290)、白蛋白(r=?0.304),钙浓度(r=?0.252)与DR呈负相关(均P<0.05),多重线性回归提示总蛋白、白蛋白及血钙浓度是DR保护因素(P<0.05)。结论:血清指标总蛋白、白蛋白及血钙浓度与DR成负相关,在生理范围内将这些指标维持相对较高的水平,或许可以为糖尿病视网膜病变的防治提供新思路。
Objective: To analyze the serum biochemical indexes of different degrees of type 2 diabetic retinopathy, and the correlation between biochemical indexes and the degree of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: Patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to the Fujian Medical University 2nd Affiliate Hospital from May 2018 to October 2020 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to fundus conditions: non-diabetic retinopathy (NDR) group (n=17), diabetes with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) group (n=29),diabetes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) group (n=34). SPSS 24.0 was used to compare the levels of a complete set of serum biochemical indexes in the three groups. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used for the correlation between the different indexes and DR. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in age between the three groups. The differences in total protein, albumin, white sphere ratio, and calcium concentration of the three groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The comparison between the groups showed that the total protein, albumin, white sphere ratio, and calcium concentration in the NPDR and PDR groups were lower than those in the NDR group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that total protein (r=?0.290), albumin (r=?0.304), andcalcium concentration (r=?0.252) were negatively correlated with DR (all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression indicated total protein, albumin and blood calcium concentration were the protective factors of DR (P<0.05).Conclusion: This study found that serum levels of total protein, albumin, and blood calcium levels are negatively correlated with DR. Maintaining a relatively high level of these indexes within the physiological range may provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of diabetic retinopathy.

Objective: To study the effects of cholesterol, the main component of drusen, on the expression of metallothionein of ARPE-19 cells. Methods: The ARPE-19 cell line was cultured in vitro, and the cells were divided into a control group and a cholesterol treatment group (2.5 mg/mL). The treatment time was 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours. Real- time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of hMT1a, hMT2a and hMT3 at the mRNA level, and Western blot was used to detect the expression at the protein level. Results: The mRNA expression of hMT1a, hMT2a and hMT3 were up-regulated by cholesterol and the protein expression of total MTs was increased with cholesterol treatment. Conclusion: Cholesterol, the main component of drusen, can up-regulate the expression of metallothionein in human retinal pigment epithelial cells, suggesting that the expression of metallothionine can be stimulated by the initial stage of drusen formation. However, whether its detection can be used for the early detection and early diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration or not still needs to be further explored.

Ocular tuberculosis encompasses a variety of clinical manifestations, which is easily misdiagnosed sometimes. In this article, a young male was admitted to our hospital with a chief complaint of sudden blurred vision in his right eye. His ocular examination detected a tiny mass in the choroid and a small lesion in the retina. After interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) and chest CT scan, the patient was diagnosed with military tuberculosis. The ocular examination confirmed the diagnosis of choroidal tubercle complicated with intrarentinal tubercle, which were healed after systemic anti-tuberculosis therapy.
