:431-442
 
目的:开发一款可自动校准测试距离的智能手机视力检测APP(WHOeye的iOS版本),并评估其实用性。方法: WHOeyes在经过验证的视力检测APP “V@home”的基础上新增自动距离校准(automatic distance calibration, ADC)功能。研究招募了3组不同年龄(≤20岁、20~40岁、>40岁)的中国受试者,分别使用糖尿病视网膜病变早期治疗研究(Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study, ETDRS)视力表和WHOeyes进行远距离和近距离的视力检测。ADC功能用于确定WHOeyes的测试距离。红外测距仪用于确定ETDRS的测试距离以及WHOeyes的实际测试距离。通过问卷调查评估用户满意度。结果:WHOeyes ADC确定的实际测试距离在3个年龄组中均与预期测试距离总体上表现出良好的一致性(P > 0.50)。在远距离和近距离视力检测方面,WHOeyes的准确性与ETDRS相当。WHOeyes与ETDRS之间的平均视力差异范围为–0.084 ~ 0.012 logMAR,各组的二次加权卡帕系数(quadratic weighted kappa, QWK)均大于0.75。WHOeyes在近距离和远距离视力检测中的重测信度高,平均差异范围为–0.040 ~ 0.004 logMAR,QWK均大于0.85。问卷调查显示WHOeyes具有较好的用户体验和接受度。结论:与金标准ETDRS视力表方法相比,WHOeyes测试距离较为准确,可以提供准确的远距离和近距离视力测量结果。
Background: To develop and assess usability of a smartphone-based visual acuity (VA) test with an automatic distance calibration (ADC) function, the iOS version of WHOeyes. Methods: The WHOeyes was an upgraded version with a distinct feature of ADC of an existing validated VA testing APP called V@home. Three groups of Chinese participants with different ages (≤20, 20-40, >40 years) were recruited for distance and near VA testing using both an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart and the WHOeyes. The ADC function would determine the testing distance. Infrared rangefinder was used to determine the testing distance for the ETDRS, and actual testing distance for the WHOeyes. A questionnaire-based interview was administered to assess satisfaction. Results: The actual testing distance determined by the WHOeyes ADC showed an overall good agreement with the desired testing distance in all three age groups (p > 0.50). Regarding the distance and near VA testing, the accuracy of WHOeyes was equivalent to ETDRS. The mean difference between the WHOeyes and ETDRS ranged from -0.084 to 0.012 logMAR, and the quadratic weighted kappa (QWK) values were greater than 0.75 across all groups. The test-retest reliability of WHOeyes was high for both near and distance VA, with a mean difference ranging from -0.040 to 0.004 logMAR and QWK all greater than 0.85. The questionnaire revealed an excellent user experience and acceptance of WHOeyes. Conclusion: WHOeyes could provide accurate measurement of the testing distance as well as the distance and near VA when compared to the gold standard ETDRS chart.

:66-73
 
阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer’s disease,AD)是发生于老年期或老年前期的中枢神经系统退行性病变,以进行性认知功能障碍为特征。随着社会老龄化加剧,AD已成为全球公共卫生问题,亟需研发更敏感、便捷和经济的筛查技术进行早期防控。眼球运动与认知功能密切相关,且眼球运动检查有非侵入性、成本低、检查时间短等优点。研究眼球运动异常和认知功能障碍之间的相关性,有助于研发更简便易操作的认知功能障碍筛查工具。随着人工智能技术的发展,机器学习算法强大的特征提取和计算能力对处理眼球运动检查结果有显著优势。本文对既往AD患者与眼球运动异常之间的相关性研究进行综述,并对机器学习算法模型辅助下,基于眼球运动异常模式进行认知功能障碍早期筛查技术开发的研究前景予以展望。
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system that occurs in old age or early old age. It is characterized by progressive cognitive dysfunction. With the world population aging, AD has become a global public health problem. The development of a more sensitive, convenient, and economic screening technology for AD is urgently needed. The eye movement function is closely related to cognitive function. Moreover, eye movement examination has advantages including non-invasiveness, low cost, and short examination time. Researches on the correlation between abnormal eye movement and cognitive dysfunction can help to develop a simple and easy-to-use screening tool for cognitive dysfunction. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the dominant feature extraction and computing capabilities of machine learning algorithms have a significant advantage in processing eye movement inspection results. This article reviews the correlation between AD and eye movement abnormalities aiming to provide the research prospects of early screening technology development for cognitive dysfunction based on abnormal eye movement with the application of machine learning models.

婴幼儿眼病的人工智能应用

Artificial intelligence application for infantile eye diseases

:214-221
 
近年来随着医疗领域数字化、信息化建设的加速推进,人工智能的应用越来越广泛,在眼科医学方面尤为突出。婴幼儿处于视觉系统发育的关键时期,此时发生的眼病往往会造成不可逆的视功能损伤,带来沉重的家庭和社会负担。然而,由于婴幼儿群体的特殊性以及小儿眼科医生的短缺,开展大规模小儿眼病筛查工作十分困难。最新研究表明:人工智能在先天性白内障、先天性青光眼、斜视、早产儿视网膜病变以及视功能评估等领域已经得到相关应用,在多种婴幼儿眼病的早期筛查、诊断分期、治疗建议等方面都有令人瞩目的表现,有效解决了许多临床难点与痛点。但目前婴幼儿眼科人工智能仍然不如成年人眼科发展充分,亟须进一步的探索和研发。
In recent years, with the acceleration of digitalization and informatization in medical field, artificial intelligence (AI) is more and more widely applied, especially in ophthalmology. Infants are in the critical period of visual development, during which eye diseases can lead to irreversible visual impairment and bring heavy burden to family and society. Due to the particularity of infants and the shortage of pediatric ophthalmologists, it is challenging to carry out large-scale screening for eye diseases of infants. According to the latest studies, AI has been studied and applied in the fields of congenital cataract, congenital glaucoma, strabismus, amblyopia, retinopathy of prematurity, and evaluation of visual function, and it has achieved remarkable performance in the early screening, diagnosis stage and treatment suggestions, solving many clinical difficulties and pain points effectively. However, AI for infantile ophthalmology is not as developed as for adult ophthalmology, so it needs further exploration and development.

慢性移植物抗宿主病相关性干眼的研究进展

Research progress on dry eye associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease

:36-44
 
慢性移植物抗宿主病(chronic graft-versus-host disease,cGVHD)是骨髓移植后最具有破坏性并发症之一。移植物抗宿主病(graft-versus-host disease,GVHD)发生在10%~80%的造血干细胞移植(hematopoietic stem cell transplantation)受者中,而眼睛是人身体最脆弱的器官之一,有40%~60%接受HSCT的患者发生眼部GVHD,它主要影响泪腺、睑板腺、角膜和结膜等。cGVHD相关性干眼(dry eye associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease,cGVHD-DE)是眼部GVHD最多见的表现形式。cGVHD-DE的长期治疗因涉及多学科、多重结合治疗,至今仍然具有挑战性,其除了全身免疫抑制和眼部润滑剂外,通常还使用局部类固醇、环孢霉素和他克莫司滴眼液。针对中度和重度cGVHD-DE的治疗干预包括使用自体血清滴眼液和佩戴巩膜镜等,新兴起的治疗方案包括重链透明质酸 (heavy chain-hvaluronan/穿透素(pentraxin 3)结膜下注射、间充质基质细胞静脉注射、抑制纤维化药物等。
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is one of the most devastating complications following bone marrow transplantation. GVHD develops in 10–80% of patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The eye is one of the most vulnerable organs of the human body. Ocular GVHD occurs in 40–60% of patients with GVHD undergoing HSCT, and it mostly affects the lacrimal glands, meibomian glands, cornea, and conjunctiva. The most common form of ocular GVHD is dry eye disease (DED). The long-term treatment of cGVHD-related dry eye syndrome remains challenging and involves a multidisciplinary approach. Besides systemic immunosuppression and ocular lubricants, topical steroids, topical cyclosporine, and topical tacrolimus are commonly prescribed. Newer therapeutic interventions for moderate and severe cGVHD-related DED include using serum eye drops and scleral contact lenses. Emerging treatment options include subconjunctival injection of heavy chain-hyaluronan (HC-HA)/ pentraxin 3 (PTX3), intravenous injection of mesenchymal stromal cells, antifibrotic drugs, etc. This article reviews the mechanisms, clinical findings, and treatment of cGVHD-related dry eye syndrome.

眼部相关全身疾病的人工智能诊断

Artificial intelligence diagnosis of eye-related systemic diseases

:222-229
 
全身疾病通过一定途径累及眼球,产生眼部病变,这些眼部病变的严重程度与全身疾病的进展密切相关。人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)通过识别眼部病变,可以实现对全身疾病的评估,从而实现全身疾病早期诊断。检测巩膜黄染程度可评估黄疸;检测眼球后动脉血流动力学可评估肝硬化;检测视盘水肿,黄斑变性可评估慢性肾病(chronic kidney disease,CKD)进展;检测眼底血管损伤可评估糖尿病、高血压、动脉粥样硬化。临床医生可以通过眼部影像评估全身疾病的风险,其准确度依赖于临床医生的经验水平,而AI识别眼部病变评估全身疾病的准确度可与临床医生相媲美,在联合多种检测指标后,AI模型的特异性与敏感度均可得到显著提升,因此,充分利用AI可实现全身疾病的早诊早治。
Systemic diseases affect eyeballs through certain ways, resulting in eye diseases; The severity of eye diseases is closely related to the progress of systemic diseases. By identifying eye diseases, artificial intelligence (AI) can assess systemic diseases, so as to make early diagnosis of systemic diseases. For example, detection of the degree of icteric sclera can be used to assess jaundice. Detection of the hemodynamics of posterior eyeball can be used to evaluate cirrhosis. Detection of optic disc edema and macular degeneration can be used to evaluate the progress of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Detection of ocular fundus vascular injury can be used to assess diabetes, hypertension and atherosclerosis. Clinicians can estimate the risk of systemic diseases through eye images, and its accuracy depends on the experience level of clinicians, while the accuracy of AI in identifying eye diseases and evaluating systemic diseases can be comparable to clinicians. After combining various detection indexes, the specificity and sensitivity of AI model can be significantly improved, so early diagnosis and early treatment of systemic diseases can be realized by making full use of AI.

儿童Ⅱ期人工晶状体植入术后青光眼相关不良事件影响因素与预测的研究进展

Research progress on associated factors and prediction of glaucoma-related adverse events following secondary intraocular lens implantation in pediatric eyes

:416-423
 
儿童白内障是全球范围内可治疗儿童盲症的主要原因之一。对于这些患儿而言,手术是恢复或保护视力的主要方法。然而,手术后的并发症,特别是青光眼相关不良事件(glaucoma-related adverse events, GRAEs),常常成为导致儿童二次致盲的主要原因,这引起了眼科医疗领域的广泛关注。文章综述了儿童Ⅱ期人工晶状体植入术后GRAEs的影响因素,包括手术设计、眼部解剖特征、其他眼部发育异常和全身疾病等。手术设计中是否植入人工晶状体(intraocular lens,IOL)以及植入的时机和位置都对GRAEs的发生有显著影响。此外,眼部解剖特征如角膜直径、眼轴长度、前房深度、中央角膜厚度和术前晶状体厚度等,也是影响GRAEs发生的重要因素。同时,其他眼部发育异常和全身疾病,如先天性无虹膜、先天性风疹综合征等,也会增加儿童白内障术后青光眼的发生率。文章还总结了预测GRAEs的方法,并推荐使用Cox回归模型建立预测模型。这种模型可以有效地预测儿童Ⅱ期IOL植入术后在特定时间段内发展为GRAEs的概率,从而为早期识别GRAEs高危儿童提供了重要的借鉴。通过对GRAEs影响因素的深入分析和预测模型的建立,文章旨在帮助眼科医生更好地理解GRAEs的发生机制,并在手术前对患儿进行风险评估,从而选择最佳的手术方案和预防措施。这对于改善患儿的术后恢复、减少并发症、保护视功能具有重要的临床意义。
Pediatric cataract is one of the leading causes of treatable childhood blindness worldwide. For these children, surgery is the primary method to restore or preserve vision. However, postoperative complications, particularly glaucoma-related adverse events (GRAEs), often become the main reason for secondary blindness in children, attracting widespread concern in the field of ophthalmology. This study reviews the impact factors of glaucoma-related adverse events after secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in children, including surgical design, ocular anatomical characteristics, other ocular developmental abnormalities, and systemic diseases. Whether to implant an IOL in the surgical design and the timing and positioning of the implantation have a significant impact on the occurrence of GRAEs. In addition, ocular anatomical characteristics, such as corneal diameter, axial length, anterior chamber depth, central corneal thickness, and preoperative lens thickness, are also important factors affecting the occurrence of GRAEs. At the same time, other ocular developmental abnormalities and systemic diseases, such as congenital aniridia and congenital rubella syndrome, also increase the incidence of glaucoma after pediatric cataract surgery. The article also summarizes methods for predicting GRAEs and recommends using the Cox regression model to establish a predictive model. This model can effectively predict the probability of children developing GRAEs after secondary IOL implantation within a specific time period, providing an important reference for the early identification of high-risk children for GRAEs. Through in-depth analysis of the impact factors of GRAEs and the establishment of predictive models, the article aims to help ophthalmologists better understand the mechanisms of GRAEs and assess the risks of children before surgery, thereby selecting the best surgical plan and preventive measures. This is of great clinical significance for improving postoperative recovery in children, reducing complications, and protecting visual function.

正常眼的脉络膜血管系统研究进展

Research progress on choroidal vascular system in healthy eyes

:365-373
 
脉络膜是视网膜的主要血供来源,脉络膜血管系统为眼内最大、最重要的血管系统,在给外层视网膜供血方面起着至关重要的作用。脉络膜是一个动态、多功能性结构,其生理性特性受多种因素影响。这些因素包括年龄、性别、解剖位置、眼轴长度、昼夜节律与饮酒等。脉络膜涡静脉根据解剖学位置可分为眼内、巩膜内和眼外三大部分,又进一步分为脉络膜静脉、壶腹前部、壶腹、壶腹后部、巩膜入口、巩膜内通道、巩膜出口和巩膜外涡静脉八个区域。在正常眼中,涡静脉的类型不仅限于传统认知中出口位于赤道部近睫状体平坦部的涡静脉,研究发现还存在出口位于后极部的后极部涡静脉。根据涡静脉的形态及解剖特点,涡静脉又分为四类:缺失型涡静脉、不完整型涡静脉、完整型涡静脉、完整型涡静脉伴壶腹。文章旨在阐述正常人眼的脉络膜血流及涡静脉解剖基础,以深入了解正常状态下的脉络膜特征,这不仅有助于辨别脉络膜的病理性变化,且对脉络膜相关眼部疾病的诊断与鉴别诊断有重要价值。
The choroid is the primary source of blood supply for the retina. As the largest and most important vascular system within the eye, the choroidal vasculature plays a crucial role in providing blood to the outer retina. The choroid is a dynamic, multifunctional structure whose physiological characteristics are influenced by a variety of factors. These factors include age, gender, anatomical location, axial length of the eye, circadian rhythm, and alcohol consumption, among others. Choroidal vortex veins can be anatomically divided into three main parts: intraocular, scleral, and extraocular. Furthermore, they can be subdivided into eight distinct regions: choroidal veins, pre-ampulla, ampulla, post-ampulla, scleral entrance, intrascleral canal, scleral exit, and extrascleral vortex vein. In the healthy eye, the types of vortex veins are not limited to the traditionally recognized veins with exits near the ciliary body pars plana in the equatorial region. Recent research has revealed the existence of posterior vortex veins with exits in the posterior pole of the eye. Based on the morphology and anatomical characteristics of vortex veins, they can be further classified into four types:absent vortex veins, incomplete vortex veins, complete vortex veins, complete vortex veins with ampulla. This paper aims to elucidate the blood flow and vortex veins anatomical foundation of the choroid in normal human eyes. Understanding these characteristics in a healthy state will aid in identifying pathological changes in the choroid, which is of significant value for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of ocular diseases.

Research progress of exosomes in eye diseases

:472-477
 
外泌体(exosome)是直径30 nm~150 nm的纳米级囊泡,由脂质双分子层、蛋白质和遗传物质组成。人体内几乎所有类型的细胞都能分泌外泌体。它们在细胞通信、免疫调节、炎症反应和新生血管形成中起着关键作用。目前,外泌体已在肿瘤、心血管及泌尿系统中得到广泛研究。近年来,外泌体在眼科疾病中的作用受到越来越多的关注。外泌体在角膜病变、年龄相关性黄斑病变、糖尿病视网膜病变、青光眼等常见眼科疾病的发生、发展中发挥重要作用。不同间充质干细胞来源的外泌体在眼科疾病中的治疗潜力是当下的热点。间充质干细胞来源的外泌体具有与间充质干细胞相似的抗炎、抗凋亡、神经保护和组织修复的作用,因此外泌体可能是多种眼科疾病无细胞疗法治疗研究的新方向。进一步了解外泌体的生物学特性以及外泌体在眼科疾病的最新研究进展,将为相关眼病的发生机制和防治策略提供参考依据。
Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles with a diameter of 30 nm to 150 nm, which are composed of lipid bilayers, proteins, and genetic material. Almost all types of cells in the human body can secrete exosomes. Tey play key roles in cellular communication, immune regulation, infammatory responses and neovascularization. At present, exosomes have been widely studied in tumors, cardiovascular and urinary systems. In recent years, the role of exosomes in eye diseases has attracted more and more attention. The exosomes play an important role in the occurrence and development of common eye diseases such as keratopathy, age-related macular disease, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, etc. Currently it is a hot topic that the therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles derived from diferent mesenchymal stem cells in eye  diseases. Te exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells have anti-infammatory, anti apoptotic, neuroprotective and tissue repairing effects, which are similar to those of mesenchymal stem cells. Thus, exosomes may be a novel direction of research in the treatment of many eye diseases without cell therapy. Further understanding of the biological characteristics of exosomes and the latest research progress of exosomes in common eye diseases will provide reference for the pathogenesis and prevention strategies of related eye diseases.
