:210-219
 
碳点是一种新型荧光碳纳米材料,直径一般小于10 nm,具有自发荧光、高生物组织相容性、易于修饰、成本低廉等优点,在生物医学领域拥有广阔的应用前景。眼球因其独特的屏障结构,常规药物停留时间短、穿透性差,通过局部滴眼到达病灶的药物浓度有限,需要增加给药频次以保持药效。另外,糖尿病性黄斑水肿(diabetic macular edema,DME)、脉络膜新生血管(diabetic macular edema,CNV)等疾病的治疗给药则需依赖于玻璃体腔注射,该方法属于有创操作,有引起潜在并发症的可能,且需多次注射,给患者造成了沉重的心理和经济负担。优化眼部给药方法一直是眼科学领域的研究热点。基于碳点的优异特性,碳点在眼部药物递送、眼部成像、眼疾病诊疗中已展现出优秀的应用潜力。本综述将综合介绍碳点的特点及近十年来碳点在眼科疾病诊疗中的研究进展,旨在提供关于碳点在眼科应用现状的系统性认识,为未来研究提供方向。
Carbon dots is a new type of fluorescent carbon nanomaterial, which the diameter is generally less than 10 nm, has the advantages of self-fluorescence, remarkable biocompatibility, easy modification, low cost and so on, has a broad application prospect in the biomedical field. Due to the unique barrier of the eye, conventional drugs have a short residence time and poor penetration, so the concentration of drugs that can reach the lesions through local eye drops is limited, and for what to increase the frequency of administration to maintain efficacy. Up to now, the treatment of posterior eye diseases, such as diabetic macular edema (DME), choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and other diseases still rely on repeated vitreous injection, which is an invasive procedure with potential complications, and need multiple injections, causing a heavy psychological and economic burden on patients. Optimizing the method of ocular drug delivery has always been a hot topic in the field of ophthalmology. Carbon dots have shown excellent application potential in the ocular drug delivery, ocular imaging, and diagnosis and treatment of ocular disease based on its excellent characteristics. This review will systematically introduce the characteristics of carbon dots and the application of carbon dots in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current situation of the application of carbon dots in ophthalmology and provide directions for future research.

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.

兴奋性氨基酸转运体家族及其在眼科疾病中的研究进展

The Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter Family and Research Progress in Ophthalmic Diseases

:291-298
 
谷氨酸是哺乳动物中枢神经系统中的主要兴奋性神经递质,谷氨酸酶系统的持续激活会导致神经元的兴奋性毒性,进而引起神经元损伤和细胞死亡。兴奋性氨基酸转运体家族成员是一种多次跨膜蛋白,位于突触前膜、突触囊泡和神经胶质细胞膜上,也是一种高亲和力的钠钾依赖性载体,能够不断清除细胞外残留的谷氨酸,维持正常的突触内外谷氨酸水平和细胞内氧化还原稳态,对于保护细胞免受兴奋性毒性以及氧化应激损伤至关重要,兴奋性氨基酸转运体家族成员表水平达的失调与多种中枢神经系统疾病神经退行性变的发生和发展密切相关。在视网膜组织中,兴奋性氨基酸转运体家族成员广泛表达。目前大量研究表明,兴奋性氨基酸转运体家族成员广泛参与了青光眼、视网膜缺血再灌注损伤、年龄相关性黄斑变性等眼部疾病的发病,但具体机制有待进一步阐明。为此,文章综述了兴奋性氨基酸转运体家族成员的生理功能及其在相关眼科疾病发生和发展中作用的研究进展,为进一步阐明相关眼病发病的分子机制及新的防治靶点的发现提供新的视角。

SGlutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. Persistent activation of the glutamatergic system can lead to excitotoxicity, resulting in neuronal damage and cell death. Members of the excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT) family are multi-transmembrane proteins located on the presynaptic membrane, synaptic vesicles, and glial cell membranes. They function as high-affinity, sodium-potassium-dependent transporters, continuously clearing extracellular residual glutamate to maintain normal intra- and extracellular glutamate levels and intracellular redox homeostasis. This process is crucial for protecting cells from excitotoxicity and oxidative stress-induced damage. Dysregulation of EAATs is closely associated with the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases in the central nervous system. EAAT family members are widely expressed in retina. Numerous studies have demonstrated that these transporters are extensively involved in the pathogenesis of ocular diseases, including glaucoma, retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, and age-related macular degeneration, although the specific mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Therefore, this article reviews the physiological functions of EAAT family members and their role in the development and progression of related ophthalmic diseases, providing new perspectives for further understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these conditions and identifying novel therapeutic targets.

mTOR 在眼科疾病中的研究进展

Progress on mTOR in eye diseases

:27-36
 
哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mammalian target of rapamycin,mTOR)是一种蛋白激酶,在体内主要参与营养水平、生长代谢的调节。mTOR是癌症、衰老和其他代谢相关病理性疾病的重要靶点,参与了增殖、转分化、自噬等多种生物学过程。眼被认为是具有免疫特权的区域,由于血管系统会影响视力,眼的血管系统位于中心光路以外。眼的许多区域都有将免疫细胞运输至发育不良、受损或衰老有关的病变部位的机制。尽管免疫应答主要是为了修复或保护自身,但是免疫细胞可能会分泌一些细胞因子,导致炎症或纤维化,进而损害视力。研究证实,mTOR与翼状胬肉、年龄相关性黄斑变性(age-related macular degeneration,AMD)、青光眼、白内障、糖尿病视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy,DR)、眼部肿瘤等多种眼病密切相关。目前,mTOR抑制剂通常被用作免疫抑制剂,用于癌症的治疗,但mTOR抑制剂用于眼部疾病的报道尚少。因此,该文就mTOR信号通路在相关眼科疾病中的作用、调控机制、药物治疗等方面进行简要综述,为相关眼科疾病的病理机制与治疗提供思路,以便后续开展更深入的研究。
Mammalian target protein of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein kinase that primarily involves in the regulation of nutrient levels andgrowth metabolism in vivo. mTOR serves as a crucial target for cancer, aging, and other metabolic related pathological diseases, participating in various biological processes such as proliferation, transdifferentiation, and autophagy. Te eye is considered an area with immune privilege, as the vascular system afects vision and is located outside the central light path. Many areas of the eye have mechanisms for transporting immune cells to the afected areas related to developmental, damaged, or aging. Although the immune response is primarily aimed at reparing or protecting itself, immune cells may secrete some cytokines, leading to infammation or fbrosis, which in turn can damage vision. Results from studies have confirmed that mTOR is closely related to pterygium, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, cataract, diabetic retinopathy (DR), eye tumors and other eye diseases. Currently, mTOR inhibitors are widely used as immunosuppressants and approved for cancer treatment; however, there are few reports on the use of mTOR inhibitors for eye diseases. Therefore, in the article it provides a brief overview of the role, regulatory mechanisms, and drug treatment of the mTOR signaling pathway in related ophthalmic diseases, providing ideas for the pathological mechanisms and treatment of related ophthalmic diseases, in order to carry out more in-depth research in the future.

:816-824
 
近些年来,眼科疾病的临床诊断治疗及其病理发展的研究对医学影像学技术的要求日益增高,磁共振技术已广泛应用于研究眼科疾病的发病机制、治疗和分析预后。基于体素的形态学分析(voxel-based morphometry,VBM)作为一种新型的磁共振图像的分析方式,VBM可以对活体脑进行无创的形态学研究,定量分析磁共振图像中每一个单独体素内的白质、灰质的密度和体积的变化,从而反映对应区域的解剖学结构差异,能发现常规MRI不能检测到的灰质和白质结构的细微改变。不同于那些只作用于预设的感兴趣区域的分析方法,VBM完全没有偏向性,它探测全脑的异常变化,无需对感兴趣区的先验性假设,不会被研究人员的主观思维影响。这提供了一种全新的方法来探索眼科疾病中的神经病理变化,尤其在青光眼和弱视的研究中应用最多。
With the increasing requirements for medical imaging technologies in clinical diagnosis, treatment and pathological basis research of ophthalmic diseases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been broadly used in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of ophthalmic diseases. As a novel analytic method of MR images, voxel-based morphometry (VBM) quantitatively analyzes the changes in brain gray, white matter density and volume in each individual voxel in MR images to reflect the differences of anatomical structures in the corresponding areas, and it provides a novel way to reveal the neuronal pathological changes in ophthalmic diseases.

:154-159
 
近年来,脂质代谢紊乱与眼科疾病关系密切。体外研究和临床前模型显示,高密度脂蛋白(high density lipoprotein,HDL)及其主要蛋白成分载脂蛋白A1(apolipoprotein A1,apoA1)对内皮细胞具有抗氧化、抗炎和抗凋亡作用,对血管具有强大的保护作用。ApoA1模拟肽能够模拟apoA1功能,且分子质量更小,前景非常乐观。而动物实验及人体试验均证实了模拟肽D-4F口服使用的安全性及有效性,因此目前研究最为广泛。目前来说,对于apoA1及其模拟肽在眼科疾病的研究中属于萌芽阶段。本文总结了apoA1及其模拟肽的结构,及其在眼科疾病如视光学、角膜病、玻璃体视网膜疾病中的研究进展,为apoA1及其模拟肽在眼科的进一步研究及开发利用提供参考。
The recent researches indicate that the disorder of lipid metabolism is closely related to ophthalmic diseases.In vitro studies and preclinical studies have shown that high density lipoprotein (HDL) and its main structural protein apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1) have superior efficacy in blood vessel protection, with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects on endothelial cells. Prospect of the ApoA1 mimetic peptide is very optimistic as it can mimic the function of apoA1, and its molecular weight is smaller. The safety and efficacy of oral use of mimetic peptide D-4F have been confirmed in both animal experiments and clinic trials. Thus, it had been extensively studied. In this paper, we reviewed the structure of apoA1 and its mimetic peptide, as well as their  researches related to ophthalmic diseases, such as optometry, corneal diseases and vitreoretinal diseases, so as to provide reference to further researches in apoA1 and its mimetic peptide in the of ophthalmic diseases.
