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:观察并分析不同类型黄斑裂孔的患病相关影响因素。方法:回顾性分析2012年1月 至2018年12月在兰州大学第二医院住院治疗的1 150例(1 202只眼)全层黄斑裂孔患者的年龄、性别、民族、最佳矫正视力、黄斑裂孔类型以及是否继发孔源性视网膜脱离等临床资料。结果:黄斑裂孔患病人数随年龄增长呈趋势性分布,60~69岁年龄段患病人数最多;男女患病差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),眼别差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);特发性黄斑裂孔继发孔源性视网膜脱离的占比明显低于其他类型;特发性黄斑裂孔的入院最佳矫正视力较高,与高度近视黄斑裂孔相比,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:黄斑裂孔多发于老年人,女性多见,高度近视黄斑裂孔容易继发孔源性视网膜脱离,可考虑尽早安排手术治疗;外伤性黄斑裂孔好发于中青年男性,常见于眼球钝挫伤,若未引发视网膜脱离等并发症,应适当观察而不急于手术。每1例黄斑裂孔都可能有其特殊性,需要认真分析病情综合判断,酌情选择观察或手术。
Objective: To observe and analyze the disease related factors of different types of macular hole. Methods: Clinical data including age, sex, ethnicity, best corrected visual acuity, macular hole type and whether accompanied by rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were retrospectively analyzed in 1 150 patients (1 202 eyes) hospitalized in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2018. Results: The number of patients with macular hole increased with age. There was statistically significant difference between male and female patients (P<0.05), and no statistically significant difference between eyes (P>0.05). The rate of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment caused by idiopathic macular hole was significantly lower than other types. The optimal corrected visual acuity of idiopathic macular hole was higher in admission, which was statistically different from that of high myopia macular hole and ametropia macular hole (P<0.05). Conclusion: Macular hole is more common in the elderly and more common in women. High myopia and ametropia macular hole are easily associated with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, so surgical treatment should be arranged as soon as possible. Traumatic macular hole often occurs in young and middle-aged men and is often seen in blunt contusion of the eyeball. Each case of macular hole may have its particularity, which requires careful analysis of the condition, comprehensive analysis, and appropriate choice of observation or surgery.
目的:探究特发性黄斑前膜(idiopathic macular epiretinal membrane,IMEM)患者在光学相干断层扫描(optical coherence tomography,OCT)的形态学改变与视力的相关性。方法:回顾性研究。基于OCT图像4级分级方案,纳入3级及以下的特发性黄斑前膜患者35例共37只眼进行OCT扫描,并借助第三方软件分析并获取每只眼在黄斑中心凹直径分别为1、3、6 mm共3个同心圆区域内视网膜各层的平均厚度值,并按照是否存在内核层(inner nuclear layer,INL)囊样改变分为两组。通过建立最小分辨角对数(minimum resolution angle in logarithmic,logMAR)最佳矫正视力(best corrected vision acuity,BCVA)与视网膜各层厚度值的多元线性回归方程,以及比较有INL囊样改变及无INL囊样改变两组的视力,分析视力与视网膜各层厚度值及INL囊样改变的关系。结果:多元线性回归分析显示,在直径1 mm的区域内,logMAR BCVA与神经纤维层(retina nerve fiber layer,RNFL)、INL的厚度值均呈正相关(均P<0.05),而在直径3 mm和6 mm的区域内,logMAR BCVA仅与INL的厚度值呈正相关(均P<0.05)。与无INL囊样改变组相比,有INL囊样改变组视力及INL厚度差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。结论:特发性黄斑前膜患者当前的视力主要与RNFL和INL厚度值相关。发生在INL层的囊样改变可能很好的提示INL增厚,其与视力具有相关性,具有这种囊样改变的患者往往视力也较差。
Objective: To investigate the morphological changes detected by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and their relevance to vision in patients with idiopathic macular epiretinal membranes (IMEM). Methods: This is a retrospective study. OCT recorded 37 eyes with stage 3 and below IMEM according to the 4-level grading system based on OCT images among 35 patients. We managed to obtain thickness of all retina layers in three concentric circular regions with a diameter of 1 mm, 3 mm and 6 mm across macular fovea with the help of a third-party software. Plus we divided all 37 eyes into two groups according to whether there were cystic changes in the inner nuclear layer (INL). Multiple linear regression analyses were performed between thickness of all retina layers and current minimum resolution angle in logarithmic (logMAR) best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). The difference of BCVA between groups with cystic changes and without was also compared. Thus, the relationships between visual acuity and thickness of retina layers, cystic changes in INL were analyzed. Results: Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that thickness of both retina nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and inner nuclear layer have positive correlation with logMAR BCVA in the region with a diameter of 1 mm (P<0.05), while in regions of a diameter of 3 mm and 6 mm, only INL thickness remained positively relevant (all P<0.05). There were significant differences in BCVA and thickness of INL between groups with INL cystic changes and without (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Current visual acuity among preoperative IMEM patients was mostly associated with thickness of RNFL and INL. Cystic change in INL layer may be a good indicator of INL thickening and was visually correlated. Those with this change tend to have worse vision.
目的:探讨无糖尿病性视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy,DR)的糖尿病人群中,糖尿病与近视对黄斑区节细胞-内丛状层(ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer,GCIPL)厚度纵向变化的影响。方法:纳入广州糖尿病眼病研究中1165名基线无视网膜病变的糖尿病和正常对照者,纵向随访2年。根据是否存在近视[等效球镜(spherical equivalent,SE)≤-3屈光度(diopter,D)]和糖尿病分为健康组(n=508)、糖尿病组(n=525)及糖尿病合并近视组(n=132)。扫频光学相干断层成像(swept source-optical coherence tomography,SS-OCT)技术测量并比较三组间GCIPL厚度的变化,以确定糖尿病和近视的影响,三组间差异使用协方差分析,采用线性混合模型分析评估GCIPL厚度与相关因素的关系。结果:对照组的SE为(1.07±1.06) D,糖尿病组为(1.02±1.00) D,糖尿病合并近视组为(-5.36±2.30) D,组间差异有统计学意义(P<0.001)。对照组基线GCIPL厚度为(71.1±0.3) μm,糖尿病组为(74.4±0.2)μm,糖尿病合并近视组为(71.7±0.5) μm。在2年随访过程中,对照组GCIPL厚度下降-0.10(95%CI:-2.03~0.05) μm/年,糖尿病组GCIPL厚度下降的速度为对照组的12倍[-1.21(95%CI:-24.04~0.05) μm/年,P<0.001],糖尿病合并近视组GCIPL厚度下降的速度为对照组的22倍[-2.17(95%CI:-21.63~0.10)μm/年,P<0.001]。结论:近视是无DR的糖尿病患者中GCIPL加速变薄的危险因素,糖尿病和近视在GCIPL损伤中可能存在协同作用。
Objective: To investigate the association between myopia and ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) in diabetic population without diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: In this Guangzhou Diabetic Eye study, a total of 1 165 patients aged 30–80 years were recruited followed up longitudinally for 2 years. According to the presence or absence of myopia [spherical equivalence (SE)≤-3 diopter (D)] and diabetics, the patients were divided into a healthy group (n=508), a diabetes mellitus group (n=525), and a diabetes mellitus + myopia group (n=132). GCIPL was measured via swept-source optical coherence tomography. Univariable and multivariable mixed models were used to show the association of GCIPL change and baseline parameters. Results: SE was (1.07±1.06) D in the healthy group, (1.02±1.00) D in the diabetes mellitus group and (-5.36±2.30) D in the diabetes mellitus + myopia group (P<0.001). The baseline GCIPL thickness were (71.1±0.3), (74.4±0.2), and (71.7±0.5) μm, respectively. The slope of GCIPL thickness was -0.10 (95% CI: -2.03 to 0.05) μm/year in the healthy group, which was 12 folds faster than those in the diabetes mellitus group [-1.21(95% CI: -24.04 to 0.05 μm/year, P<0.001] and 22 folds higher among those in diabetes mellitus + myopia group [-2.17 (95% CI: -21.63 to 0.10) μm/year, P=0.009]. Conclusion: Both myopia and diabetes status accelerate macular ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer thinning in diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy.
目的:调查抗VEGF药物治疗湿性年龄相关性黄斑变性(wet age-related macular degeneration, wAMD)5年的疗效。方法:2011年至2021年于北京医院眼科诊断为wAMD的患者共84人103只眼进行回顾性分析。抗VEGF治疗采用3+PRN方案。观察5年来的最佳矫正视力(best-corrected visual acuity,BCVA)、玻璃体腔注射次数、随访次数和病灶的解剖学变化。结果:治疗5年后平均BCVA为38.1个字母,与基线相比下降9.4个字母,差异有统计学意义(P<0.001)。23.3%的患眼5年后可维持初始视力。5年内平均注射次数为13.8次,第1年注射次数最多,平均为4.3次。5年内平均随访次数为24.3次,仅有34.0%的患眼可遵循每次随访间隔≤3个月。5年后有68.0%的患眼出现纤维瘢痕,27.2%的患眼出现地图样萎缩,69.0%(71/103)的患眼存在持续的色素上皮脱离(pigment epithelial detachment,PED)。年龄、基线BCVA、是否初始治疗、随访年限、注射次数、中心视网膜厚度 (central retina thickness,CRT)、地图样萎缩等对BCVA有显著影响。结论:多数患者在抗VEGF治疗1年内可维持视力,但5年以上维持效果不佳。早期诊治、提高注射频率,可能是未来改善预后的研究方向。
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of anti-VEGF injection in the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) for 5 years. Methods: A total of 84 patients (103 eyes) wAMD diagnosed in Department of Ophthalmology in Beijing Hospital from 2011 to 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. 3 + PRN regimen was applied for anti-VEGF treatment. The changes of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), the number of intravitreal injections and the number of follow-up visits, and the anatomical changes of the lesions in the past 5 years were collected. Results: The average BCVA after 5 years was 38.1 letters, indicating a decrease of 9.4 letters comparing to baseline, which was statistically significant (P<0.001). 23.3% of the eyes could maintain the baseline BCVA after 5 years. The average injection times within 5 years was 13.8, and the injection was concentrated in the first year, with an average of 4.3. The average number of follow-up visits within 5 years was 24.3, and only 34.0% of the affected eyes could keep the follow-up interval ≤3 months. After 5 years, 68.0% of the eyes developed fibrous scar, 27.2% developed geographic atrophy, and 69.0% (71/103) had consistent pigment epithelial detachment. Factors significantly affect BCVA include: age, baseline BCVA, initial treatment, follow-up time, injection times, central retinal thickness, geographic atrophy and so on. Conclusion: Most patients can maintain vision within the first year after anti-VEGF treatment, but the efficacy is poor for more than 5 years. Early diagnosis and treatment, and increased injection frequency may be the research direction for improving prognosis in the future.
目的:以光学相干断层扫描血管成像(optical coherence tomography angiography,OCTA)观察视网膜分支静脉阻塞(branch retinal vein occlusion,BRVO)抗血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)治疗前后的变化。方法:回顾性收集从2017年1月至2018年1 2月在汕头国际眼科中心的确诊为BRVO合并黄斑水肿的患者共3 1例3 2眼。患眼行玻璃体腔注射抗VEGF药物治疗,记录治疗前和治疗后1个月的最佳矫正视力(best corrected visual acuity,BCVA),OCTA检查视网膜黄斑中心凹厚度(foveal macular thickness,FMT)、黄斑区血流密度。比较治疗前后各指标的变化。结果:治疗后BCVA较治疗前显著提高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.001);FMT[(242.13±86.02) μm]较治疗前[(521.44±190.27) μm]明显下降,差异有统计学 意义(P<0.001);中心凹浅层血流密度[(18.44±4.98)%]及中心凹旁浅层血流密度[(44.83±3.19)%]均较治疗前[(25.46±9.21)%,(46.06±5.25)%]相比明显下降,差异有统计学意义(P <0.001)。结论:玻璃体腔注射抗VEGF治疗BRVO合并黄斑水肿效果显著;OCTA能有效评价抗VEGF治疗BRVO合并黄斑水肿的临床疗效。
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy in patients with macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF drug. Methods: In this retrospective study, 32 eyes of 31 patients with BRVO combined with macular edema at Joint Shantou international eye center of Shantou University and TheChinese University of Hong Kong during January 2017 to December 2018 were enrolled in this study. All the affected eyes received intravitreal anti-VEGF drug injections. BCVA (best corrective visual acuity) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) were performed before and one month after intravitreal anti-VEGF drug injections. Foveal macular thickness (FMT), macular blood flow density was measured in all eyes and compared. Results: The BCVA before therapy was (0.77±0.46) LogMAR and increased to (0.46±0.30) LogMAR in one month after therapy, which showed a statistical difference (P<0.001). The FMT, foveal superficial vascular plexus flow density and para foveal superficial vascular plexus flow density before therapy were (521.44±190.27) μm, (21.85±6.17)% and (46.29±2.70)%, respectively. The FMT, foveal superficial vascular plexus flow density and para foveal superficial vascular plexus flow density decreased to (242.13±86.02) μm, (18.40±5.18)% and (44.75±3.40)%, respectively. There was significant statistical difference for them (P<0.001). Conclusion: Intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF is effective in the treatment of BRVO combined with macular edema. OCTA can effectively evaluate the clinical efficacy of anti-VEGF in the treatment of BRVO combined with macular edema.
