糖尿病性黄斑水肿(diabetic macular edema, DME)是糖尿病最常见和最严重的并发症之一，也是中青年劳动人群常见的致盲原因。DME病理生理机制复杂，是多种因素相互作用的结果，控制这些危险因素是降低发病率的关键。DME是全身病相关性眼病，其发生与发展受众多危险因素的影响，但此前文献对其总结不足，本文从全身因素及眼部因素两个方面就DME的危险因素进行综述。全身危险因素主要包括血糖控制欠佳、糖尿病病程长、高血压、血脂代谢紊乱、肥胖、肾功能异常、妊娠状态、降糖药物使用、贫血、阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征、遗传因素、吸烟、饮酒、高血钙、低血镁等；而其眼部危险因素主要包括白内障、青光眼及玻璃体切割术、全视网膜激光光凝术、合并视网膜静脉阻塞和相关细胞因子等。深入认识和理解这些危险因素，有助于更好地预防和早期治疗DME，同时为治疗糖尿病视网膜病变过程中控制DME进展提供指引和参考。但是，其中一部分因素还存在一定争议，更多的DME危险因素仍有待进一步探索，期望在不久的将来，更多基础和前瞻性临床研究为DME危险因素及治疗提供高质量的证据。
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is one of the most common and severe complications of diabetes, and it is a leading cause of blindness in the working-age population. The pathophysiology of DME is complex, resulting from the interplay of various factors. Controlling these risk factors is crucial in reducing the incidence of DME. As a systemic diseaserelated ocular condition, the onset and progression of DME are influenced by numerous risk factors. However, previous literature has provided insufficient summaries of these factors. This review aims to summarize the risk factors for DME from both systemic and ocular perspectives. The systemic risk factors primarily include poor glycemic control, prolonged duration of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, renal dysfunction, pregnancy, the use of hypoglycemic medications, anemia, obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, genetic factors, smoking, alcohol consumption, hypercalcemia, and hypomagnesemia. On the other hand, ocular risk factors include cataracts, glaucoma and vitrectomy, panretinal photocoagulation, coexisting retinal vein occlusion, and related cytokines. A deeper understanding of these risk factors will aid in the better prevention and early treatment of DME, while also providing guidance and reference for controlling the progression of DME during the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. However, some of these factors remain controversial, and additional DME risk factors still need to be explored. It is hoped that, in the near future, morefoundational and prospective clinical studies will provide high-quality evidence on DME risk factors and treatments.
目的：了解湿性老年性黄斑变性(age-related macular degeneration,AMD)患者自我感受负担(self-perceived burden,SPB)现状及其影响因素。方法：采用方便抽样法选取2021年1月至11月在中山大学中山眼科中心就诊的204例湿性AMD患者为研究对象，采用一般资料调查表、SPB量表、家庭支持自评量表、医学应对问卷对其进行测评。结果：患者SPB得分是(21.98±6.68)分，总体属于轻度SPB。湿性AMD患者的SPB水平与家庭支出(r=?0.326, P<0.001)和面对应对(r=?0.365, P<0.001)呈负相关，与回避(r=0.456, P<0.001)及屈服(r=0.310, P<0.001)应对方式呈正相关性。多重线性回归显示，独居、高龄、自费、双眼患病及采用回避应对的患者的SPB更高，而高文化水平、高家庭支持的患者SPB较轻。结论：湿性AMD患者有轻度SPB，但仍存在改善空间，医护工作者在工作中应重点关注高龄、文化程度低、家庭收入低、自费、独居、双眼患病及低视力的患者，及时进行心理疏导，减轻患者的SPB水平。
Objective: To understand the current status and influencing factors of self-preceived burden (SPB) in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: 204 patiens with wet AMD who were treated in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University from January to November 2021 were enrolled as the study subjects with convenience sampling method. A general information questionnaire, SPB scale, family support self-assessment scale, and medical coping questionnaire were collected from the subjects for assessment. Results: The patient’s SPB score was 21.98±6.68, which is generally mild SPB. The SPB level of patients with wet AMD was negatively correlated with family support (r=-0.326, P<0.001) and coping (r=?0.365, P<0.001), and were positively correlated with avoidance (r= 0.456,P<0.001), and surrender (r=0.310, P<0.001) coping style. Multiple linear regression showed that the patients who lived alone, were elder and self-funded, had binoclur diseases and used avoidance coping, had higher SPB. While the patients with high education and family support had lower SPB. Conclusions: It is still needed to pay attention to the patients with AMD having mild SPB. Medical workers should focus on patients with elder age, low education level, low family income, self-funded, living alone, binocular disease and low vision in their work, and provide timely psychological counseling to reduce the SPB level of patients.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of vision loss in elderly population. Among its subtypes, neovascular AMD (nAMD) has become a global focus in ophthalmological research due to its rapid progression and severe vision impairment. With the acceleration of population aging, the disease burden of nAMD is increasingly heavy, making it urgent to conduct in-depth research on its pathogenesis and explore effective therapeutic strategies. In recent years, the rapid development of high-throughput omics technologies has provided unprecedented opportunities to decipher the complex molecular pathological mechanisms of nAMD. Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and multi-omics integration analyses have not only helped to deeply explore disease-related key molecules, pathways, and networks but also provided new perspectives for discovering novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets. This review systematically summarizes the recent advances in molecular omics technologies in nAMD research, focusing on findings from different omics approaches across various biological samples, and analyzes the advantages of multi-omics integration in revealing disease mechanisms and screening biomarkers, aiming to provide references for future research in this field.
Background: The purpose is to investigate the relationship between full-thickness macular hole (MH) and retinal break (RB) and/or lattice degeneration.Methods: Patients diagnosed as full-thickness MH and referred to Dr. Lin Lu from January 2009 to December 2013 were evaluated. All patients underwent general ophthalmologic examinations, fundus examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The RB and/or lattice degeneration were recorded.Results: Totally 183 eyes of 167 patients were included. The sex ratio of men to women was 1:2.88. A total of 17 eyes were pseudophakic and 166 eyes were phakic. RB and/or lattice degeneration were found in 62 eyes (33.88%). The prevalence of RB and/or lattice degeneration was similar between men and women (P=0.344>0.05). There was no statistical diff erence between the pseudophakic eyes and phakic eyes (P=0.138>0.05). All of the RB and/or lattice degeneration were located near or anterior to the equator. The inferior quadrants and the vertical meridian were aff ected more often than the superior quadrants and the horizontal meridian.Conclusions: We identified a high incidence of RB/lattice degeneration in cases of full-thickness MH. Carefully examination of the peripheral retina and prophylactic treatment of RB and/or lattice degeneration are critical.

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a major sight-threatening cause in diabetic patients. We review the long-term outcome of four approved pharmacotherapy for treating DME, including intravitreal injections of corticosteroids (dexamethasone implants and fl uocinolone acetonide inserts) and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (ranibizumab and aflibercept). They all show superior ability to improve vision and reduce macular thickness, comparing with sham injections or macular focal/grid laser treatment. Anti-VEGF agents result in low incidence of severe ocular or systemic adverse effects, but glaucoma and cataract should be aware after intravitreal corticosteroids. Prompt treatment with these agents can lead to a better outcome.

目的：观察睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（Sleep apnea syndrome, SAS）患者睡眠前后黄斑厚度的改变。
方法：选择 2003 年 8 月至 2007 年 1 月经确诊的在我院门诊和住院部治疗的 SAS 患者共 32 例（63 只眼），分别在上午 11:00 ～ 12:00（睡眠前）及患者晨起 20 ～ 30 分钟内（睡眠后）采用相干光断层扫描仪（Optical Coherence Tomography, OCT）进行黄斑中心凹厚度的测量。
结果：睡眠前黄斑中心小凹平均视网膜厚度为（123.00 ± 19.98）μm，睡眠后黄斑中心小凹平均视网膜厚度为（134.25 ± 19.92）μm。睡眠后黄斑中心凹厚度比睡眠前厚度增加（11.25 ± 9.04）μm，95% 可信区间为（8.98，13.53）μm，差异有统计学意义（t = 9.878，P < 0.05）。
结论：睡眠呼吸暂停综合征患者睡眠时的缺血缺氧可以导致黄斑视网膜的水肿增厚。
Purpose: To observe the changes of macular thickness in patients with sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) before and after sleep.
Methods: Thirty-two patients (63 eyes) diagnosed as SAS from August 2003 to January 2007 were enrolled. Macular thickness was measured using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) at 11:00 ~ 12:00 evening (before sleep) and 20 ~ 30 minutes after sleep, respectively.
Results: The mean macular thickness was (123.00 ± 19.98) μm and (134.25 ± 19.92) μm before and after sleep, respectively. The mean difference was (11.25 ± 9.04) μm before and after sleep (t = 9.878, P < 0.05), 95% CI (8.98, 13.53) μm.
Conclusions: The macular thickness of SAS is increased in SAS patients, which may be due to anoxia of SAS.
Background: To find the changes of macular perimetry (MP) and the correlations between MP and best correct visual acuity (BCVA) in different phases of the acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).Methods: Twenty-one eyes with acute CSC and their fellow eyes were analysed retrospectively. MP at 2°, 4° and BCVA in the active and resolved phase were collected and analyzed. The differences of these parameters in CSC eyes and fellow eyes were analyzed. Spearman correlation was used for analysis of correlation between MP and BCVA.Results: From 29 eyes with CSC analysed 27eyes (93.10%) recovered to the previous VA. Compared with the active phase, MP at 2°, 4° and BCVA were significantly improved in the resolved phase(P=0.000, 0.000, 0.000, respectively). MP at 2°, 4° and BCVA of CSC eyes were significantly poor compared with the fellow eyes in the active phase (P=0.000, 0.000, 0.000, respectively). In the resolved phase there was no significant difference between the CSC eyes and fellow eyes (P=0.339, 0.141, 0.161, respectively). BCVA was shown to significantly correlate with MP at 2° in the active phase (ρ=–0.630, P<0.001).Conclusions: The acute CSC often had a good prognosis both in BCVA and MP. MP can provide an additional objective parameter to evaluate the retinal function changes at macula of acute CSC.
