Age stands as a primary risk factor for diseases and disabilities among the elderly. To effectively assess the underlying aging processes, accurate measures of biological age and rates of aging across multiple levels of aging features are essential. Biological age derives from physiological assessments of systems and organs. It has emerged as a superior predictor of age-related diseases and mortality compared to chronological age. Recent advancements in machine learning have catalyzed the development of sophisticated models capable of quantitatively characterizing biological aging with different types of data. This review explores the machine learning models in advancing our understanding of biological aging, highlighting the potential of these innovative approaches to facilitate aging research and personalized healthcare strategies.

目的: 观察老年性黄斑变性(Age-related macular degeneration, AMD) 和息肉状脉络膜视网膜病变(Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, PCV) 患者眼底陈旧性出血在吲哚青绿血管造影(Indocyanine green angiography, ICGA) 中的自发荧光表现。

方法: 对伴有眼底陈旧性出血的AMD和PCV患者共 36 例(36只眼) 行ICGA检查。受试者在进行ICGA检查前, 均经过详细的眼底镜检查、眼底彩色照相及荧光素眼底血管造影(Fundus fluorescein angiography, FFA) 检查。

结果: 眼底陈旧性出血灶 ICGA 均表现出相应的自发荧光。陈旧性出血灶呈浅灰黄色, 其自发荧光的形态大小与眼底彩色图像所示的陈旧性出血灶相一致, 边界清晰; 造影后期陈旧性出血灶的自发荧光强度最强, 与 AMD 的斑状及焦点状脉络膜新生血管 (Choroidal neovasculari-zation, CNV) 及 PCV 的息肉状脉络膜血管扩张灶的荧光表现不同。陈旧性眼底出血的自发荧光多与 CNV 或息肉状病灶重叠或位于其边缘(27 只眼, 75%) 。

结论: ICGA 中陈旧性眼底出血所致的自发荧光易与 CNV 及息肉状病灶性强荧光相混淆, 将眼底彩色图像与 ICGA 图像对比分析及掌握其与CNV及息肉状血管扩张灶的不同荧光特性

有助于鉴别诊断。

Objective: To investigate the autofluorescence of stale fundus haemorrhage in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV)

with indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) .

Methods: The color photographs and ICGA were performed in 36 eyes of 36 cases of exudative AMD or PCV with stale fundus haemorrhage. All of the cases were examined

by funduscopy and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) .

Results: Autofluorescence could be observed in all of the stale haemorrhage cases. Stale haemorrhage showed grayish color and the shapes and sizes of autofluoresence in ICGA were in accordance with those of the stale haemorrhage in the color photographs. The boundaries of autofluorescence were clear and the intensities were strong. The percentage of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) or PCV in or beside stale haemorrh-age was significantly higher than that outside the stale haemorrhage (27 eyes, 75%) . 

Conclusions: Autofluorescence of stale haemorrhage in ICGA can be mixed up with the high fluorescence of CNV and grapes-like polypoidal dilatation. It is helpful to compare the color photographs with ICGA and recognize the different ICGA characteristics in the assessment of ICGA results in these circumstances.

目的:研究形觉剥夺性和光学离焦性近视豚鼠视紫红质的表达变化,探讨视紫红质表达与实验性近视眼之间的关系。

方法:40只出生后1周的豚鼠随机分为形觉剥夺组和光学离焦组(n=20),形觉剥夺组单眼戴半透明(半透明薄膜贴于平镜表面)平光硬性角膜接触镜片(Rigidgass-pemmeable contactlens，RCP),光学离焦组单眼藏-4.0DRGP镜片,另一只眼为对照组。戴镜干预后1、2周各组分别测量屈光度、眼轴长度、玻璃体腔深度,并于上午10~12点钟取材,实时荧光定量PCR观察视紫红质 mRNA 的变化,Westem-blot 观察视紫红质的变化,进行对比比较,统计分析。

结果:实验干预后1周,形觉剥夺组和光学离焦组与对照组相比各项指标无显著性差(除形觉剥夺组屈光度以外)。实验干预后2周,与对照组相比较,形觉剥夺组和光学离焦组明显发生近视、眼轴延长、玻璃体腔加深(t=22.20、18.32、19.65、15.78、6.18、11.20.P<0.01):形觉剥夺组视紫红质及其 mRNA 表达均增加(t=17,489、14.31.P<0.05)光学离焦组视紫红质及其mRNA表达无明显变化。

结论:视紫红质的表达可能参与了形觉剥夺性近视眼的形成,而在光学离焦性近视眼中作用有限。

Purpose:To investigate the rhodopsin expression in form-deprived and defocus myopiain guinea pig and study the relationship between the rhodopsin expression andexperimental myopia.

Methods:Fourty guinea pigs were randomized into the form-deprived group and thedefocus group (n= 20 ). Guinea pigs in the form-deprived group wore a diffuser(rigidgass-permeable contact lens(RGP)on one eye since one week after birth. Those in defocus group wore a -4 D RGPon one eye. The contralateral eyes were left ascontrol. Refraction, axial length and depth of vitreous cavity were measured after 1and 2 weeks respectively. Retina were dissected at 10 ~ 12 o'clock in the moring.The level of rhodopsin and its mRNA were observed through Western-blot and real-time PCR respectively.

Result:There is no difference between form-deprived group, defocus group and controlgroups(except refraction in form-deprived group). One week later, there is nodifference between the form-deprived group, the defocus group and the control groups(except refraction in form-deprived group). Two weeks later, eyes in the form-deprivedgroup and the defocus group became myopic. Its axial length lengthened and depth ofvitreous cavity appeared deep. The form-deprived groups showed an increasedexpression of rhodopsin and its mRNA compared to the control groups. There is nodifference between the defocus group and the control groups.

Conclusion : Expression of rhodopsin might involve formation of form-deprived myopia,but has less influence on defocus myopia.

目的: 比较新鲜羊膜和保存羊膜治疗睑球粘连的疗效差异, 分析影响疗效的因素。

方法: 共 51 例 55 只眼因陈旧性化学伤、热烧伤或 Stevens-Johnson 综合征而发生睑球粘连的临床连续病例接受睑球粘连分离联合新鲜羊膜移植(22 只眼) 或保存羊膜移植(33 只眼) 。其中男 30 例 32 只眼, 女 21 例 23 只眼。年龄 4～51 岁, 平均(34.2 ± 4.3) 岁。其中 11 只眼在烧伤后5～11个月, 平均(7.4 ± 1.6) 个月时接受手术, 40 只眼在烧伤后 1～8 年, 平均(2.0 ± 0.7) 年进行手术。

结果: 术后随访 12～32 个月, 平均(19.3 ± 4.1) 个月 。所有移植在结膜眼表面的羊膜(包括新鲜羊膜) 植片在术后早期均未见溃烂和溶解, 周边对合良好。31/55(56.4%) 只眼形成了足够深的穹窿部且恢复了眼球运动功能。9/55(16.4%) 只眼发生部分睑球粘连, 眼球运动轻度受限,但其面积远较术前为小。15 /55(27.3%) 眼术后发生中度以上的睑球粘连。新鲜羊膜和保存羊膜重建眼结膜表面的效果相似( X ² = 0.466, P = 0.797) ; 不同程度睑球粘连的患者其羊膜移植术后的效果不同(新鲜羊膜, X²=27.995, P=0.000; 保存羊膜, X²=33.610, P=0.000) ; 在眼表烧伤后1年内手术比 1 年以上进行羊膜移植的效果也不同(X ²= 4.243, P = 0.039) 。

结论: 新鲜羊膜和保存羊膜一样可以有效地用于重建睑球粘连解除后的结膜眼表。患眼术前睑球粘连程度以及烧伤后其眼表炎症是否处于安静状态等因素都会直接影响羊膜移植重建眼结膜表面的远期疗效。

Purpose: To compare the effect of fresh versus preserved amniotic membrane transplant-ation for conjunctival surface reconstruction after symblepharon lysis and analyze the associated factors.

Methods: Fifty-one consecutive cases (55 eyes) with symblepharon at different degree due to eye burns or Stevens-Johnson syndrome were accepted lysis of symblepharon and amniotic membrane transplantation. Twenty-two eyes of them were performed with fresh amnion grafts, the others (33 eyes) with preserved human amniotic membrane. Eleven eyes were performed within 1 year and forty eyes in 1 to 8 years (mean value, 2.0 ± 0.7 years) after eye burns.

Results: The follow-up time varied from 12 to 32 months (mean value, 19.3 ± 4.1 months) . Fifty-six point four percent (31/55) eyes got enough deep conjunctival fornix and resolution of eye movement restrict. Sixteen percent of them (9/55) recurred less symblepharon and remained slightly eye movement restrict. Fifteen- five eyes of them (27.3%) recurred moderate symblepharon. The effects of surgery were similar between fresh and preserved AMT (X ² = 0.466, P = 0.797) . The effects of AMT for those patients with symblepharon at different degree had significant difference statistically (fresh amnions, X ²= 27.995, P = 0.000; preserved amnions, X ² =33.610, P = 0.000) . The same results were observed between those patients who were performed in different time periods after eye burns ( X ² = 4.243, P = 0.039) .

Conclusion: Fresh amnion has the same effect as preserved one for conjunctival surface reconstruction. The degree of symblepharon and the surgical environment of the ocular surface in the affected eye before surgery will influence the results of amniotic membrane transplantation for conjunctival surface reconstruction.

Dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is an inherited optic neuropathy and more than 75% of DOA patients harbor pathogenic mutations in OPA1. We reported a 39-year-old female harboring c.2119G>T mutation of OPA1 and manifested progressive visual impairment after hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) therapy. The patient’s visual impairment remained stable for 10 years until she began to take HCQ 13 months ago. She complained about progressively decreased vision in both eyes. Bilateral pale temporal optic disc was similar with that of 11 years ago. Optical coherence tomography showed bilateral moderate retinal nerve fiber layer thinning other than the nasal quadrant and general thinning of the inner retina in the macular. Microcystic macular edema was noted in nasal macular in both eyes. Visual field testing showed paracentral scotoma and microperimetry showed decrease sensitivity in the macular in both eyes. After the patient stopped taking HCQ, her functional tests including visual acuity, field testing and microperimetry testing was stable compared with those of 2 years ago. However, progressive inner macular and RNFL thinning was shown by OCT. OPA1 c.2119 G>T found in this patient was a mutation that had been rarely reported in previous studies. The patient has been followed up for over 10 years and her visual acuity stayed stable for decades long until she took HCQ for 13 months. Her vision decline terminated after she stopped taking HCQ. Although HCQ toxicity is highly related to the duration and daily dose, HCQ may aggravate visual impairment in certain individuals harboring OPA1 mutation. Patients with DOA should avoid using neurotoxic HCQ and other medications that may interfere mitochondrial metabolism.

Purpose: To explore the effect of tear film changes on the intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement by Goldmann applantion tonometer.

Methods: Sixty-eight normal subjects were randomly divided into two groups (Gruop A and B) , 34 in each group. One eye of each subject by random selection was given Dextran (in Group A) and Viscoat (in Group B) , respectively. And the fellow eyes were used as controls. IOP was measured in all subjects twice using Goldmann applantion tonometer. And the difference between first and second measurements was compared.

Result: In the control eyes of Group A, the average IOP of first and second measurements were (14.44 ± 2.68) mmHg (1 mmHg= 0.133 KPa) and (14.47 ± 2.69) mmHg, there was no difference between the two measurements (t =- 0.329, P = 0.744) . In eyes given Dextran, the average IOP of two measurements were (14.41 ± 2.63) mmHg and (12.94 ± 2.59) mmHg, there was significant difference between the two mea-surements (t =13.949, P= 0.000) . In control eyes of Group B, the average IOP of first and second measurements were (14.53 ± 3.13) mmHg and (11.18 ± 3.07) mmHg, and there was no difference between the two measurements (t = -0.466, P = 0.644) . In eyes given Viscoat, the average IOP of two measurements were (14.53 ± 3.13) mmHg and (11.18 ± 3.07) mmHg, and there was significant difference between the two measurements (t = 22.126, P = 0.000) . After being given Dextran or Viscoat, the IOP values decreased consistently in both Group A and Group B.

Conclusions: The change of tear film components can affect IOP values by Goldmann applantion tonometer.

目的: 分析高度近视眼行白内障摘除及后房型人工晶状体植入术后并发裂孔源性视网膜脱离的发生率、相关危险因素及临床特点。

方法 : 回顾性分析高度近视眼行白内障摘除及后房型人工晶状体植入术患者 146 例(232 只眼) 。裂孔源性视网膜脱离在术后随访的3年时间发生。所有眼均进行了详细的眼科检查, 包括: 最佳矫正视力、眼底检查、A 超眼轴长度测量。

结果: 15 只眼发生裂孔源性视网膜脱离(6.4%) , 均需行玻璃体视网膜手术进行视网膜复位。从白内障手术到发生视网膜脱离的平均时间为10 ± 9 个月(0.5～32 个月) 。视网膜脱离经手术治疗后视力为手动 /10 cm～0.06, 12 只眼(80%) 最终视力低于白内障术前。术中后囊膜破裂与术后视网膜脱离的发生显著相关 (P < 0.01) , 60%(9/15) 的视网膜脱离患者术中发生了后囊膜破裂。

结论: 高度近视眼白内障术后并发裂孔源性视网膜脱离的发生率为 6.4%, 其预后差。术中发生后囊膜破裂患者术后发生视网膜脱离的危险性更高, 对术中后囊膜破裂患者需密切随访。

Aim: To analyze the clinical characteristics, incidence and risk of retinal detachment (RD) after cataract surgery and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in high myopic patients.

Methods:The medical records of 146 high myopic patients (232 eyes) who underwent cataract surgery and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation were studied retrospectively. The development of RD was followed up over a 3-year period, and its characteristics were determined. All of the eyes received a comprehensive ophthal-mological examination, including best-corrected visual acuity measurements, a dilated fundus examination and axial length measured by A-scan ultrasonography.

Results: RD developed in 15 eyes of 15 patients. All the 15 eyes needed vitreo-retinal surgery. The mean interval between cataract surgery and the development of RD was 10 ± 9 months (range 0.5～32 months) . The visual results of the eyes after anatomical successful vitreo-retinal surgery ranged from finger count /10 cm to 0.06. 80% (12/15) of the eyes had a worse vision after the surgery than that before cataract surgery. Posterior capsular tear were associated significantly with RD (P < 0.01). Approximately 60%( 9/15) of retinal detachment was attributable to posterior capsule tear during cataract surgery.

Conclusion: Incidence of RD in high myopic patients after cataract surgery was 6.4%. RD was the potentially serious complication and tended to develop more frequently in eyes with posterior capsular rupture during cataract surgery. It is crucial to examine retinal status after cataract surgery and to have a close follow-up to prevent retinal complications, especially for patients with posterior capsular disruption.

Purpose: To set up an easy procedure of tissue culture for human lens epithelial cells in vitro and to observe the biological characteristics.

Methods: Capsules from embryo of 20 weeks, eye bank of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Centre and patients with cataract were spread on culture utensil. 10 μ L of 10% DMEM medium was added and a piece of coverslip was lay to prevent crimp. Then the capsules were cultured under 37℃after adding enough medium. Capsules from the same source were cultured by traditional tissue culture method. Expressions of β crystallin between primary tissue culture cells and SRA01/04 cell line were compared by western blotting.

Results: With coverslip assisted, the cells could be observed proliferated and migrated from the edge of embryo capsule 2 days later, and for capsules from eye bank and age-related cataract patients, the interval time was 3 to 4 days. By traditional tissue culture method, the interval time of embryo capsule was 3 to 4 days, and for capsules from eye bank and age-related cataract patients, the interval time was the same. And capsules floated sometimes.

Conclusions: By coverslip assisted primary tissue culture human lens epithelial cells could grow faster and easier, and the method is worthy to be spread in research of lens diseases.
