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.

Objective: To combine the characteristics of standardized training for ophthalmic resident physicians, establishes a Total Quality Management (TQM) model based on the DingTalk platform, and explored an efficient ophthalmic teaching management model that adapts to the characteristics of the times. Methods: The research team, based at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, selected 82 first-year postgraduate students undergoing the national standardized training for resident doctors (STRD) as participants, randomly allocating them into two groups. The experimental group consisting of 41 trainees received TQM-modeled online learning via the DingTalk platform, adopting a management model of full participation, full process tracking, and comprehensive evaluation to ensure teaching quality. While the control group, also comprising 41 trainees, underwent traditional offline instruction. The TQM group engaged in live streaming lectures on the DingTalk platform, whereas the conventional group continued with face-to-face teaching in classroom. Data including pre- and post-teaching scores, as well as scores from satisfaction surveys are analyzed. Results: Comparing pre- and post-teaching scores, significant statistical differences were found between the TQM and traditional groups, with mean score improvements of 40(30,40) points and 30(20,50) points, respectively, indicating statistical significance (P =0.013). Furthermore, the questionnaire survey revealed that the TQM group scored higher than the traditional group in aspects such as course design, clinical relevance, content mastery, and instructor satisfaction. In addition, the questionnaire survey showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the total satisfaction score between the two groups (10(10,10) points vs. 10(9,10)points P =0.207), but in terms of mastery of satisfaction sub items, the TQM model group scored higher than the traditional model group (5(5,5) points vs. 5(4,5) points, P =0.046). Conclusions: The application of a TQM-based model on the DingTalk platform significantly enhances the teaching quality and student satisfaction in the residency training of ophthalmologists, demonstrating greater pedagogical advantages over traditional methods. This efficient ophthalmic teaching management model thus provides a promising solution for standardized residency training in ophthalmology, and holds considerable importance for nurturing highly competent ophthalmologists who can meet the demands of the current era.
红光是波长范围在620~760 nm的可见光,兼有良好的光化学和热作用,其穿透力较强,能够达到皮肤深层及组织内部,从而产生一系列的生物效应。在眼科领域,红光疗法最初主要应用于弱视和眼睑皮肤相关疾病的治疗,随着研究的进一步深入,红光逐渐被应用于控制近视进展和视网膜相关疾病。目前,重复低强度红光(repeat low-level red-light, RLRL)在近视进展的控制效果得到充分肯定,成为红光疗法在眼科应用最受关注的热点之一,其主要可能机制包括红光照射能激活线粒体中的细胞色素C氧化酶的活性,促进三磷酸腺苷(adenosine triphosphate, ATP) 生成,改善网膜缺氧状况;促进一氧化氮 (nitric oxide, NO)的合成和释放,引起脉络膜血管的扩张及血流量的增加;诱导巩膜细胞外基质的重塑,增加巩膜的强度。此外,红光疗法可抑制视网膜感光细胞调节通路中的氧化应激、炎症和细胞凋亡,减轻眼表炎症反应和疼痛,有助于周围神经损伤后修复等。文章针对红光疗法在近视、视网膜相关疾病、弱视及眼睑皮肤相关疾病的治疗机制、有效性及安全性进行综述,为红光疗法在眼科领域的应用提供重要的参考价值和依据。
Red light is visible light with a wavelength range of 620-760 nm, which has excellent photochemical and thermal effects. It can penetrate deeply into the skin and tissues with strong power, resulting in a series of biological effects. In the field of ophthalmology, red-light therapy was initially mainly used in the treatment of amblyopia and eyelid skin-related diseases, and with the further development of research, red light has been gradually used in the myopia control and the study of retina-related diseases. At present, the effect of repeated low-intensity red light (RLRL) on myopia progression has been fully recognized, and it has become one of the most concerned hotspots in the application of red-light therapy in ophthalmology. The main possible mechanisms include that red light therapy can activate the activity of cytochrome C oxidase in mitochondria, promote ATP production, and improve retinal hypoxia. It can also induce the synthesis and release of NO, cause the expansion of choroidal vessels with improvement of blood flow, and increase scleral strength by remodeling of scleral extracellular matrix. In addition, red- light therapy can reduce oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in the regulatory pathways of photoreceptor cells, reduce eye inflammation and pain, and help repair peripheral nerves after injury. This article will review the mechanism, effectiveness and safety of red-light therapy in myopia, retinal diseases, amblyopia, and eyelid skin-related diseases, in order to provide important reference value and basis for the application of red-light therapy in ophthalmology.
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.
Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) extend through the optic nerve, connecting with neurons in visually related nuclei. Similar to most mature neurons in the central nervous system, once damaged, RGCs are unable to regenerate their axons and swiftly progress to cell death. In addition to cell-intrinsic mechanisms, extrinsic factors within the extracellular environment, notably glial and inflammatory cells, exert a pivotal role in modulating RGC neurodegeneration and regeneration. Moreover, burgeoning evidence suggests that retinal interneurons, specifically amacrine cells, exert a substantial influence on RGC survival and axon regeneration. In this review, we consolidate the present understanding of extrinsic factors implicated in RGC survival and axon regeneration, and deliberate on potential therapeutic strategies aimed at fostering optic nerve regeneration and restoring vision.

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.

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.

航天飞行相关的神经-眼综合征(spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome,SANS)是指宇航员在长时间航天飞行期间和之后观察到的包括视盘水肿、后极部眼球扁平、脉络膜视网膜皱褶和远视飘移等在内的一系列眼部、神经和神经影像学表现,可能会对飞行员造成短期或长期的视力改变、认知影响或其他有害的健康影响,因此,明确SANS的发病机制,进行有效的地面模拟实验及制定对应的缓解对策对未来更远、更久的航天飞行具有重要的意义。目前SANS的发病机制主要有颅内压升高、脑血容量波动与血管重塑、脑和视交叉向上移位、眼淋巴系统流动失衡、细胞毒性水肿、眼眶脂肪肿胀等。国际上研究较多的地面模拟实验为6°头朝下倾斜卧床休息,能够重现SANS的各种表现,包括视神经鞘扩张、视网膜神经层增厚、脉络膜厚度增加和视盘水肿;此外,干浸浴、抛物线飞行等地面模拟实验也观察到了SANS的部分表现。下体负压作为缓解对策能减轻脉络膜增厚和视神经鞘直径增加,正压力护目镜也有望成为应对SANS的有效对策。该文就国内外相关进展进行综述。
Spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) refers to a series of ocular, neurological and neuroimaging manifestations observed in astronauts during and after long-term space flight, including optic disc edema, posterior globe flattening, choroid-retinal folds, and hyperopic refractive shift. These effects may have short-term or longterm on vision , cognitionand other aspects of astronauts’ health. Therefore, elucidating the pathogenesis of SANS, conducting effective ground simulation experiments, and developing corresponding mitigation strategies are crucial for enabling deeper and longer-duration space exploration. Current understanding of the pathogenesis of SANSincludes increased intracranial pressure, fluctions in cerebral blood volume and vascular remodeling, upward displacement of the brain and optic chiasm, imbalance in ocular lymphatic system flow, cytotoxic edema, and orbital fat swelling, etc. Among the various ground simulation experimens, the 6 ° head-down tilt bed rest has been extensively studied and has been shown to replicate various manifestations of SANS, such as optic nerve sheath expansion, retinal nerve layer thickening, choroidal thickness increase and optic disc edema. Additionally, dry immersion and parabolic flight have also demonstrated some aspects of SANS during ground simulation experiments.The use of lower body negative pressure has been identified as a potential countermeasure to reduce choroidal thickening and increase in optic nerve sheath diameter. Furthermore, positive pressure goggles are also expected to be an effective strategy for mitigating the effectsof SANS.This article provides a comprehensive review of the relevant advancements in the field of SANS, both domestically and internationally.
