圆锥角膜(KC)是一种典型的扩张性眼病,以角膜扩张变薄并向前锥形突起为特征,严重时可致盲。KC三联征之一铁锈色Fleischer环,主要由上皮细胞基底膜周围的铁离子沉积组成。近年来,越来越多研究表明,铁稳态失衡可能与KC的发生和发展密切相关。KC患者泪液中铁相关蛋白的异常表达,提示铁稳态失衡可能是诱发KC的潜在致病机制。此外,角膜上皮细胞内铁稳态失衡导致细胞内铁离子异常积聚,进而引发活性氧和脂质过氧化物的大量生成,最终可能触发细胞铁死亡。从恢复铁稳态角度出发,螯合过量的铁离子和调控铁死亡过程关键靶点可能是未来KC潜在的治疗方法。目前关于铁稳态失衡导致KC发病的具体机制仍存在诸多谜团。随着相关研究的不断深入,有望通过改善角膜铁稳态失衡,为KC临床治疗带来新的思路和突破,也为KC患者提供更精准和个体化的治疗策略。

随着角膜疾病治疗技术的不断进步,前弹力层移植技术(包括Inlay和Onlay技术)已成为晚期圆锥角膜治疗的重要手段,能有效改善患者的角膜地形图和视力结果,稳定角膜扩张,提高患者的生活质量。该文综述了前弹力层移植技术的理论基础、移植物的来源与制备技术、手术技术、临床疗效以及相关并发症,为晚期圆锥角膜的治疗提供了新的视角。研究表明,这种先进的移植技术相较于传统方法,在减少手术风险、简化手术流程以及加快术后恢复方面具有明显优势,特别是在降低异体移植物排斥反应及手术并发症的风险上,前弹力层移植表现出色。Onlay技术作为一种近期开发的新方法,其独特优势是无需剖离角膜,更好地保护角膜结构。此外这种技术的高度适应性和可逆性,为患者提供了更多的治疗选择和更好的视觉恢复。尽管如此,技术细节如移植物的尺寸和形状定制、手术深度的最优化等方面仍需进一步研究和优化,以提高整体治疗效果。
With the continuous advancement of corneal disease treatment technology, Bowman layer transplantation (including Inlay and Onlay technology) has become an important means for the treatment of advanced progressive keratoconus, which can effectively improve the corneal topography and visual acuity of patients, stabilize corneal dilation, and improve the quality of life of patients. Tis article reviews the theoretical basis of Bowman layer transplantation, the source and preparation of grafs, surgical techniques, clinical efcacy, and related complications, which provides a new perspective for the treatment of advanced keratoconus. It is stated in the research that this advanced transplantation technique has significant advantages over traditional methods in reducing surgical risks, simplifying the surgical procedures, and improving postoperative recovery. Especially in reducing the risk of allograft rejection and surgical complications, the bowman layer transplantation performs excellently. As a novel developed method, Onlay technology has the unique advantage of eliminating the need to dissect the cornea, which beter protects the corneal structure. In addition, due to the highly adaptable and reversible nature of this technique, it provides patients with more treatment options and beter visual recovery. However, in terms of technical details such as customizing the size and shape of the transplant, optimizing the surgical depth, etc., it is needed to conduct further research and optimization to improve the overall treatment efect.
目的:旨在研究按移植指征分类以及移植前角膜血管形成对手术后5年内排斥反应和移植物失败率的相对风险。方法:分析1999—2017年间,英国移植登记处记录的所有因圆锥角膜(keratoconus,KC)、人工晶状体大泡性角膜病(pseudophakic bullous keratopathy,PBK)或既往感染(病毒/细菌/真菌/原生动物)而首次进行角膜移植的成年人。统计移植前受体角膜血管化象限的数量、血管化类型、移植后排斥反应的间隔时间(如果有的话)以及移植后5年的结果。通过多变量风险调整Cox回归法进行排斥反应和移植失败的危险因素建模。结果:KC、PBK和感染患者的角膜血管形成率分别为10%、25%和67%。只有当存在浅表和(或)深部血管形成时(HR分别为1.3和1.4,P=0.004),存在两个以上象限的血管形成时,PBK患者移植排斥反应的风险才会增加(HR=1.5,P=0.0004)。因既往感染而接受移植的个体在四个象限的血管形成中发生排斥反应的风险增加(HR=1.6,P=0.003)。在任何一组中,经过风险调整后,与血管形成有关的移植失败率并未上升。对于含有血管的受体角膜,相对于穿透性KC和PBK移植,没有充分的证据显示板层移植在降低排斥反应或失败风险方面存在优势。结论:血管化是5年内角膜移植排斥反应的危险因素。移植的适应证对这种风险的具有临床意义。
Objective: To investigate the relative risk of pretransplant corneal vascularisation on rate of rejection and graft failure within 5 years of surgery when categorised by indication for transplantation. Methods: We analysed all adults recorded in the UK transplant registry who had a first cornea transplant for keratoconus (KC), pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) or previous infection (viral/bacterial/fungal/protozoan) between 1999 and 2017. We analysed the number of quadrants of the recipient cornea vascularised before transplant and type of vascularisation, the interval posttransplant to rejection, if any, and the outcome at 5 years post-transplant. Risk factors for rejection and transplant failure were modelled by multivariable risk-adjusted Cox regression. Results: Corneal vascularisation was recorded in 10%, 25% and 67% of patients with KC, PBK and infection, respectively. Individuals with PBK had an increased hazard of transplant rejection only when there were more than two quadrants of vascularisation (HR 1.5, p=0.004) when either superficial and/or deep vascularisation was present (HR 1.3 and 1.4, respectively, p=0.004). Individuals who had a transplant for previous infection had an increased hazard of rejection with four quadrants of vascularisation (HR 1.6, p=0.003). There was no risk-adjusted increase in transplant failure associated with vascularisation in any group. There was weak evidence of reduction in risk of rejection and/or failure associated with lamellar compared with penetrating transplantation in KC and PBK in vascularised recipient corneas. Conclusion: Vascularisation is a risk factor for corneal allograft rejection within 5 years. The indication for transplantation has a clinically significant effect on the magnitude of this risk.

目的:比较活体共聚焦显微镜和病理检查在角膜后部真菌感染的诊断阳性率,探讨两种检查方法在角膜后部真菌感染诊断中的价值。方法:回顾性病例对照研究。收集2009年11月至2020年12月在青岛眼科医院就诊并进行穿透性角膜移植手术治疗角膜后部真菌感染患者,术前均进行角膜刮片KOH涂片检查和活体共聚焦显微镜检查,术后病变角膜进行病理组织切片、过碘酸-Schiff法(PAS)染色和六亚甲基四胺银法(GMS)染色检查,比较不同检查方法诊断的阳性率。结果:18例角膜后部真菌感染患者角膜刮片KOH涂片均未检查到真菌菌丝,其中有16例患者经活体共聚焦显微镜检查到真菌菌丝(88.9%),而2例患者在术前活体共聚焦显微镜检查中未查到病原体。术后病理检查PAS染色联合GMS染色,18例患者中18例均可检查到真菌菌丝,角膜后部真菌感染患者病理切片中可见角膜深基质层变性坏死,大量炎症细胞浸润,PAS染色和GMS染色可见典型真菌菌丝侵犯角膜基质深层,而角膜基质浅层及上皮层均未查见真菌菌丝。结论:活体共聚焦显微镜诊断角膜后部真菌感染具有一定的局限性,联合术后病理组织切片和特殊染色检查有助于提高角膜后部真菌感染的诊断率。
Objective: To compare the diagnostic rate between in vivo confocal microscopy and pathological examination in retrocorneal fungal infection. Methods: It is a retrospective study. A total of 18 patients with retrocorneal fungal infection and received PKP surgery in the Qingdao Eye Hospital from November 2009 to December 2020 were enrolled. KOH smear and in vivo confocal microscopy examination were performed before surgery, and pathological examination including periodic acid-schiff (PAS) stain and Grocott Methenamine Silver (GMS) stain were performed after surgery. Patients were diagnosed retrocorneal fungal infection based on in vivo confocal microscopy and pathological examination. The diagnostic rates of the two methods were compared. Results: None of the 18 patients with posterior corneal fungal infection were found to have fungal hyphae in the corneal smear.Sixteen patients (88.9%) were found fungal hyphae by in vivo confocal microscopy. Corneal stroma necrosis and a large number of inflammatory cells were shown by postoperative pathologic examination, and all patients were found fungal hyphae in posterior corneal stroma with PAS stain and GMS stain. Conclusion: Confocal microscopy has unique advantages such as non-invasive and rapid examination in the diagnosis of fungal keratitis.However, it needs to combine with pathological examination for diagnosing the retrocorneal fungal infection.
目的:探究球面塑形镜、环曲面塑形镜在矫治近视复合散光的有效性及安全性。方法:回顾分析宜昌市第一人民医院2016年3月至2018年3月角膜塑形镜治疗青少年近视94例(178眼),按佩戴塑形镜类型分为球面塑形镜组(48例,90眼)与环曲面塑形镜组(46例,88眼)。记录配镜前、佩戴1年后、停戴1周后的视力、角膜散光、眼轴长、球镜屈光度、眼压、泪膜破裂时间及角膜着染率。结果:戴镜1年后,2组组内相比,散光、球镜度数、眼压、泪膜破裂时间均降低,但2组组间相比,仅散光度数差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。戴镜1年后,两组视力较戴镜前显著提高,停戴后近视度数较佩戴前增加,但组间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);2种塑形镜角膜着染发生率差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:2种塑形镜均能够降低近视复合散光患者度数,有效提高患者视力,但并不能完全阻止近视的进展。虽然环曲面塑形镜在矫正散光方面有优势,但总有效性与安全性并不占优势。
Objective: To observe the effectiveness and safety of orthokeratology lens and toric design othokeratology treatment for compound myopic astigmatism. Methods: From March 2016 to March 2018, 94 teenagers(178 eyes) were selected as the subjects of study. They were divided into two groups according to the type of orthokeratology: the orthokeratology lens group (48 cases, 90 eyes) and the toric design othokeratology group(46 cases, 88 eyes). Visual acuity, corneal astigmatism, axial length, spherical lens refraction, intraocular pressure,tear film rupture time and corneal staining rate were recorded before, after 1 year and after 1 week. Results: After 1 year of wearing the lens, astigmatism, spherical lens degree, intraocular pressure and tear film rupture time were all decreased in the 2 groups compared with each other, but only astigmatism degree was statistically significant between the 2 groups compared with each other (P<0.01). After wearing the glasses for 1 year, the visual acuity of the two groups was significantly improved compared with that before wearing the glasses, and the myopia degree was increased after stopping wearing the glasses compared with that before wearing the glasses, but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of corneal staining between the two types of shaping lenses (P>0.05). Conclusion: Both of the two shaping lenses can reduce the degree of myopic patients with complex astigmatism and effectively improve the visual acuity of patients, but they can not completely prevent the progress of myopia. Although toroidal shaping mirror has advantages in correcting astigmatism, its overall effectiveness and safety are not.
目的:评估硅油填充术后眼压对角膜内皮细胞的影响及变化特点。方法:选取2019年1月1日至9月30日在佛山市第二人民医院眼科中心行玻璃体切除联合硅油注射的患者共131名,分为高眼压组(n=80)和正常眼压组(n=51)。高眼压组术后任意一次测眼压>21 mmHg,正常眼压组术后眼压均≤21 mmHg。比较填充硅油前与取硅油时的角膜内皮细胞参数测量值。结果:高眼压组的平均眼压为20.79 mmHg,正常眼压组的平均眼压为14.70 mmHg(P<0.001)。取硅油时,两组角膜内皮细胞密度(corneal endothelial cell density,ECD)均明显减少,平均内皮细胞面积均明显增大(P<0.05),高眼压组内皮细胞大小变异系数(coefficient of variation of endothelial cell size,CV)明显变大(P<0.05)。高眼压组ECD丢失率(6.3%)高于正常眼压组(3.5%);其中,高眼压组中术后1~6周内的眼压升高(7.1%)、眼压≥40 mmHg(7.3%)对角膜内皮细胞影响最大。ECD丢失与眼压变化有显著相关性(r=0.176,P=0.044)。结论:硅油填充后高眼压是角膜内皮细胞丢失的重要危险因素。
Objective: To evaluate the effect of intraocular pressure (IOP) on corneal endothelial cells after silicone oil tamponade. Methods: Patients (n=131) received vitrectomy with silicone oil injection in Ophthalmology Center in Second People’s Hospital of Foshan City from January 1st to September 30th 2019 were divided into the high IOP group (n=80) and normal IOP group (n=51). IOP was >21 mmHg at any time in the high IOP group and was ≤21mmHg in the normal IOP group after surgery. The values of corneal endothelial cells before filling with silicone oil and before removing silicone oil were compared.Results: The average IOP was 20.79 mmHg in the high IOP group, and 14.70 mmHg in the normal IOP group (P<0.001). The number of endothelial cells (ECD) was reduced, but the average endothelial cell area was increased (P<0.05) in both groups. The coefficient of variation of endothelial cell size in high IOP group was increased (P<0.05). ECD loss rate was 6.3% in the high IOP group and 3.5% in normal IOP group. Increased IOP within 1–6 weeks after surgery (7.1%) and IOP ≥40 mmHg (7.3%) had the greatest impact on ECD. ECD loss was correlated with IOP (r=0.176, P=0.044). Conclusion: High intraocular pressure after silicone oil filling is an important risk factor for the loss of corneal endothelial cells.Keywords intraocular pressure; corneal endothelium; silicone oil; vitrect

暴露性角膜炎是角膜失去眼睑保护而暴露在空气中,引起角膜干燥、上皮细胞脱落进而继发感染的角膜炎症,多见于眼睑缺损、眼球突出、睑外翻、面神经麻痹、手术麻醉等。泪液的缺失、眼睑闭合不全、眼表暴露等因素皆会影响角膜健康,使其处于炎症、溃疡及穿孔的危险中。暴露性角膜炎治疗目的是去除暴露因素、保护角膜上皮和维持眼表湿润,目前常用的治疗手段有手术治疗与药物治疗,有些是暂时性的,有些是永久性的。
Exposure keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea that occurs when the cornea loses the protection of the eyelid and is exposed to air, resulting in dryness, epithelial exfoliation, and secondary infection. Most of them are found in eyelid defect, protopsis, eyelid ectropion, facial palsy, and anesthesia. Loss of tears, lagophthalmos and exposed ocular surface all affect the health of the cornea, putting it at risk of inflammation, ulceration, and perforation. The purpose of treatment is to remove exposure factors, protect the corneal epithelium and keep ocular surface moist.Currently, the commonly used treatments are surgical treatment and medical treatment, and some of them are temporary while others are permanent.
