Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) is a collective term for diseases resulting from the long-term effects of one or more damaging factors on the liver. It has a broad impact and affects a large patient population. Viral hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and end-stage liver disease can involve the ocular fundus, leading to retinal exudates and hemorrhages. Additionally, structural changes in the fundus, such as the thickness of the choroid and different retinal layers, are associated with the severity of chronic liver disease. Through fundus examinations in patients with chronic liver disease, not only can ocular complications related to liver disease be prevented and treated, but these examinations may also offer potential value in the clinical assessment and monitoring of liver disease. This article reviews the potential ocular fundus abnormalities in patients with chronic liver disease under different etiologies, severities, and drug treatments. It discusses the progress in the clinical application of fundus structure and function examinations in patients with chronic liver disease. It compares the characteristics and appropriate clinical scenarios of various fundus examination methods in these patients and suggests potential new directions for the future use of fundus examinations in chronic liver disease management.

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.
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.
Blindness prevention has been an important national policy in China. Previous strategies, such as deploying experienced cataract surgeons to rural areas and assisting in building local ophthalmology centers, had successfully decreased the prevalence of visual impairment and blindness. However, new challenges arise with the aging population and the shift of the disease spectrum towards age-related eye diseases and myopia. With the constant technological boom, digital healthcare innovations in ophthalmology could immensely enhance screening and diagnosing capabilities. Artifcial intelligence (AI) and telemedicine have been proven valuable in clinical ophthalmology settings. Moreover, the integration of cutting-edge communication technology and AI in mobile clinics and remote surgeries is on the horizon, potentially revolutionizing blindness prevention and ophthalmic healthcare. The future of blindness prevention in China is poised to undergo signifcant transformation, driven by emerging challenges and new opportunities.

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.

It is also an integrated platform of clinical information and scientific research data. However, there are some challenges. First, clinical and laboratory information obtained is incomplete. Additionally, the information among different databases is asymmetric, which seriously impedes the information sharing among different Biobanks. In this article, the specific application scenarios of AI technology and blockchain in the construction of a Biobank were discussed, aiming to pinpoint the core direction of the information construction of an intelligent Biobank in the era of big data.
目的:探讨上睑提肌缩短术和额肌肌瓣悬吊术后眼表改变和恢复的差异。方法:对2007 年1 月至2007 年4 月在中山眼科中心住院的42例(62只眼)先天性上睑下垂患者,按手术方式和术后是否加用局部用药进行随机分组,观测各组术后2 d、5 d、7 d和2周患者泪液的分泌、泪膜破裂时间、结膜充血、角膜荧光染色、睑板腺功能、瞬目次数、上睑睫毛角度和眼睑闭合情况,并分析其观察结果的差异是否有统计学意义。结果:3名患者(7.1 %)因需要加用其它促角膜上皮生长的药物而退出本研究,其中1例(2.3 %)因倒睫刺激角膜上皮水肿缺损需行手术调整,其余所有患者眼表检测项目的结果均显示不同程度地受到了手术影响,但是随着术后炎症的逐渐消退,这些受影响的眼表异常均会逐渐恢复正常。泪膜破裂时间、瞬目次数、眼睑闭合情况的影响在两种术式之间的差异有统计学意义,而在术后是否局部用药之间没有统计学差异;角膜荧光素染色在是否加用局部用药组之间有统计学差异,而不同术式之间没有统计学差异;泪液分泌量、结膜充血、睑板腺功能、睫毛角度则在所有组别之间均没有统计学差异。结论:两种上睑下垂的矫正术均会引起患者眼表的改变,额肌肌瓣悬吊术对泪膜破裂时间、瞬目次数、眼睑闭合情况影响的程度较大,而局部用药只能改善角膜荧光素染色异常、对其它眼表因素影响不大。上睑睫毛角度异常是引起角膜损害最危险的因素。
Objective : To investigate the difference of ocular surface change and restoration after ex-ternal levator advancement and frontalis suspension.Methods : Forty-two patients (62 eyes) with congenital ptosis hospitalized in ZhongshanOphthalmic Center from Jaruary to April in 2007 were randomly divided into four groups according to different surgery types and with or without post surgery ophthalmic medica-tion. Sehirmer test, tear film break-up time , conjunctiva congestion , cornea fluorescentpigmentation , tarsal gland function , winking frequency, angle of eyelash and eyelid clo-sure were all observed and statistically analyzed in all groups 2 days , 5 days , 7 days and 2 weeks after surgery.Results : Except 3 patients needed advanced ophthalmic medicine, one of whom waswith corneal ulceration and needed another surgery, all the others were observed withocular surface items altered in varied degrees and gradually returned to normality as theinflammation caused by surgery recovered. Break-up time , winking frequency and eyelid closure were statistically diferent between the two types of surgery but not betweengroups with and without post surgery ophthalmic medication. Cornea fluorescent pigmen-tation was statistically different between groups with and without post surgery ophthalmicmedication but not between the two types of surgery. The other items did not have statis-tical difference in all groups.Conclusion : The two types of surgery for ptosis correction could alter the ocular surface ,but frontalis suspension affect tear film break-up time , winking frequency and eyelid clo-sure much more than levator advancement. Ophthalmic medication after the surgerycould only ameliorate cornea fluorescent pigmentation but was not necessarily to restora-tion of normal ocular surface. Abnormality of eyelash angle was the most dangerous fac-tor to the corea injury.
