分子视角下的IgG4相关眼病:从自身免疫到纤维化

A molecular perspective on IgG4-ROD: from autoimmunity to fibrosis

:716-723
 
IgG4相关性眼病(immunoglobulin G4-related ophthalmic disease, IgG4-ROD)是一种与IgG4阳性浆细胞浸润和血清IgG4水平升高相关的系统性疾病。该病的眼部表现包括泪腺、眼眶脂肪、眶下神经、眼外肌和眼睑的受累,且常伴有炎症和纤维化过程。在分子水平上,IgG4-ROD涉及多种免疫细胞和细胞因子的相互作用,包括辅助性T细胞1(T helper cell 1, Th1)、辅助性T细胞2(T helper cell 2, Th2)、调节性T细胞 (regulatory T cells, Tregs)和滤泡辅助性T细胞(follicular helper T cell, Tfh),以及由它们分泌的白细胞介素4(interleukin 4, IL-4)、白细胞介素13(interleukin 13, IL-13)和转化生长因子β(transforming growth factor-β,  TGF-β)等。这些分子通过促进B细胞活化和IgG4的产生,以及纤维化过程的发生,共同参与了IgG4-ROD的发病机制。诊断依赖于组织病理学特征,治疗通常包括糖皮质激素和免疫抑制剂,旨在控制免疫介导的炎症和纤维化,减轻症状并防止器官损伤。随着对IgG4-ROD在分子层面发病机制认识的深入,治疗策略将不断优化,进而为患者提供更为精准和有效的治疗方案,从而改善患者预后,提高患者生活质量。本文基于现有研究,总结并阐述了与IgG4-ROD致病有关的关键分子及信号通路,从分子视角对IgG4-ROD的自身免疫、纤维化及二者之间的联系与转变进行综述。
Immunoglobulin G4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD) is a systemic disorder characterized by the infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells and elevated serum IgG4 levels. The ocular symptoms of this disease can affect multiple structures, including the lacrimal gland, orbital fat, infraorbital nerves, extraocular muscles, and eyelids.These manifestations are often accompanied by inflammatory and fibrotic processes. At the molecular level, IgG4-ROD is linked to the interaction of various immune cells and cytokines. These include T helper cell 1 (Th1), T helper cell 2 (Th2), regulatory T cells (Tregs), and follicular helper T cells (Tfh), along with cytokines interleukin 4 (IL-4), interleukin 13 (IL-13), and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). They promote B cell activation and IgG4 production, and also facilitate the development of fibrosis. Diagnosis of IgG4-ROD is mainly based on histopathological features. Treatment typically involves the use of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive agents, which aim to control immune-mediated inflammation and fibrosis, alleviate symptoms, and prevent organ damage. As our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of IgG4-ROD advances, it is anticipated that treatment strategies will be continuously refined. This will enable us to offer patients more precise and effective therapeutic options, ultimately improving prognosis and quality of life. This article provides a summary and clarification of the key molecules and signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of IgG4-ROD. It also reviews,   from a molecular perspective, the interplay between autoimmunity and fibrosis, as well as their transformations.

基于眼科住院医师规范化培训学员视角的睑板腺囊肿诊疗培训效果调查

Training effectiveness survey of diagnosis and treatment for chalazion from ophthalmology trainees’ perspective in resident standardized training

:913-920
 
目的:探讨眼科住院医师规范化培训中睑板腺囊肿诊疗的培训效果及存在的问题,以期改进培训方式。方法:以2020年4月在中山大学中山眼科中心培训的154名学员为对象,进行问卷调查,采用SPSS 20.0统计学软件进行数据分析。结果:共76名专业型硕士(专硕)、78名住院医师培训(住培)学员完成了问卷调查。专硕具有睑板腺囊肿诊断、保守治疗及手术主刀经验的比例分别为40.8%、11.8%、7.9%;住培则显著高于前者,分别为79.5%(P<0.001)、60.3%(P<0.001)和21.8%(P=0.016)。对于关键诊疗环节的判断,90.8%的专硕选择了临床诊断(P=0.007),94.9%的住培则选择治疗方案(P<0.001)。去除囊壁、术中意外与破溃皮肤的处理是专硕难以掌握的手术步骤(P<0.001);而住培仅为去除囊壁(P<0.001)。结论:睑板腺囊肿诊疗水平在眼科住院医师规范化培训中亟待提高,并根据各类型学员的临床能力和认知差异,进行分级分类培训。
Objective: To explore the teaching effect of diagnosis and treatment on chalazion in the standardized training of ophthalmology residents and its existing problems, in order to improve the quality of the training systems. Methods: A self-designed questionnaire survey was conducted with 154 ophthalmology residents in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center in April 2020, and the investigative data was analyzed using SPSS 20.0. Results: Totally 76 medical postgraduates and 78 ophthalmology residents completed the questionnaire survey. The proportions of medical postgraduates who had individual experience on diagnosis, conservative and surgical treatment of chalazion were 40.8%, 11.8%, and 7.9%. Compared to the former, ophthalmology residents had significantly higher proportion, with 79.5% (P<0.001), 60.3% (P<0.001), and 21.8% (P=0.016), respectively. For judging the important aspect of diagnosis and treatment process, the medical postgraduates chose the clinical diagnosis (90.8%) (P=0.007), while the ophthalmology residents paid more attention on treatment options (94.9%) (P<0.001). In the surgical procedures, removal of cyst wall, management of intraoperative accidents and skin ulcers are all their difficult skills to master for medical postgraduates (P<0.001), while only removal of cyst wall for residents (P<0.001). Conclusion: The training level of diagnosis and treatment of chalazion still needs to be improved in the standardized training of ophthalmology residents. The training should be carried out according to the clinical competence and cognition differences of various types of students.

客观评价眼轴长度的概念和测量方法

Definition and measurement of axial length: Clinical and research perspective

:947-950
 
近视防控已经上升为国家战略,眼轴长度是近视防控的重要建档参数。眼轴长度的测量有多种方法,受到年龄、性别、脉络膜厚度等因素的影响。目前,眼轴长度的定义尚未统一,建议建立标准化的定义和方法学,以指导近视防控的临床和科研工作。
The prevention and control of myopia has become a national strategy, and the axial length is an important parameter in the documentation of myopia prevention and control. This review summarized the measurement technology and factors associated with axial length. Axial length can be measured in various ways and can be influenced by age, gender, choroidal thickness, and other factors. A standardized definition of axial length is warranted to be established for clinical and scientific purposes.
