近视防控已经上升到我国国家战略层面,高度近视引起的视神经病变会损害视功能,但在临床上常常被忽视。OCT可以非侵入、高分辨率、快速以及可重复地定量视网膜各层厚度,是评估高度近视相关视神经病变的有力工具。由于高度近视常合并视盘和盘周的改变,视神经纤维层厚度的定量常出现误差。近年来,学者开始聚焦于黄斑区神经节细胞复合体(ganglion cell complex,GCC)厚度的研究,但其在高度近视眼中的变化规律尚不统一。该文针对近年来高度近视眼黄斑区GCC的测量规范、诊断价值、变化规律等进行综述,以期提高眼科医师对高度近视视神经病变的重视和研究水平。
Myopia prevention and control has risen to the national strategic level in China. Optic neuropathy caused by high myopia can damage visual function, but it is often ignored in clinical practice Optical coherence tomography (OCT) characterized by non-invasiveness, high resolution, rapid, and repeatable quantifying the thickness of each layer in the retina has emerged as a powerful tool for evaluating high myopia related optic neuropathy. Due to the changes in and near the optic disc in high myopia, errors often occur in the quantification of the thickness of the optic nerve fiber layer. In recent years, researchers have gradually focused on the study of the thickness of ganglion cell complex (GCC), but the regularity of its changes in high myopia is not yet unified. This article reviews the measurement specifications, diagnostic values, and change rules of GCC in the macular region of high myopia in recent years, in order to improve the attention and research level of ophthalmologists on high myopia optic neuropathy.
巨噬细胞样细胞(macrophage-like cells, MLC)指起源、功能与巨噬细胞类似的免疫细胞,包括小胶质细胞、玻璃体细胞及巨噬细胞。将en face OCT显示层面设置在视网膜表明即可观测到视网膜表明的 MLC(epiretinal MLC, eMLC),随后利用ImageJ软件即可对细胞进行提取和量化。研究表明,eMLC在炎症情况下均可出现细胞募集及活化现象,但在不同眼底病中各具特点。在糖尿病视网膜病变、视网膜静脉阻塞等视网膜缺血缺氧性疾病中,eMLC密度越高,黄斑水肿可能越严重。此外,eMLC密度更高的视网膜静脉阻塞患者抗VEGF疗效更差,视力预后不佳,提示基于en face OCT的eMLC不仅可用于评估视网膜炎情况,而且还能充当提示疾病疗效及预后的标志物。在葡萄膜炎等免疫炎症性疾病中,en face OCT亦可观测到eMLC密度、形态等改变。白塞病葡萄膜炎患者视网膜血管渗漏程度与eMLC密度相关性强,故eMLC密度可充当无创评估视网膜血管渗漏程度的新指标。然而,目前提取和量化eMLC的方法及标准不统一,降低了各研究间的可比性。因此,亟需制定统一的操作规范和评估标准。此外eMLC 所代表的具体细胞类型及功能仍需进一步探究。未来,研究者可以利用en face OCT对眼底炎症地进行无创评估。基于en face OCT的eMLC还能作为基础研究与临床研究之间的桥梁,为揭示疾病的致病机制提供重要参考。
Macrophage-like cells (MLC) refer to immune cells that originate from and function similarly to macrophages, including microglia, hyalocytes, and macrophages themselves. By setting the display level of en face OCT to the retinal surface, epiretinal MLC (eMLC) can be observed and subsequently extracted and quantified using ImageJ software. Studies indicate that eMLC can exhibit cell recruitment and activation in inflammatory conditions, each displaying distinct characteristics in different retinal diseases. In ischemic and hypoxic retinal conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion, higher densities of eMLC are associated with more severe macularedema. Moreover, patients with retinal vein occlusion showing higher eMLC densities tend to have poorer responses to anti-VEGF treatments and worse visual prognoses, suggesting that eMLC identified via en face OCT can be used not only to assess retinal inflammation but also as biomarkers for disease efficacy and prognosis. In immune-inflammatory diseases like uveitis, changes in eMLC density and morphology can also be observed through en face OCT. Inpatients with Beh?et's disease, a strong correlation exists between the degree of retinal vascular leakage and eMLC density, making eMLC density a potential non-invasive marker for assessing retinal vascular leakage. However, the current methods and standards for extracting and quantifying eMLC are not unified, significantly reducing comparability between studies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish uniform operational protocols and assessment standards. Furthermore, the specific cell types and functions represented by eMLC observed via en face OCT require further investigation. In the future, en face OCT could be utilized for non-invasive assessment of retinal inflammation. eMLC based onen face OCT could also serve as a bridge between basic research and clinical studies, providing valuable insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of diseases.
Background: To find the changes of macular perimetry (MP) and the correlations between MP and best correct visual acuity (BCVA) in different phases of the acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).Methods: Twenty-one eyes with acute CSC and their fellow eyes were analysed retrospectively. MP at 2°, 4° and BCVA in the active and resolved phase were collected and analyzed. The differences of these parameters in CSC eyes and fellow eyes were analyzed. Spearman correlation was used for analysis of correlation between MP and BCVA.Results: From 29 eyes with CSC analysed 27eyes (93.10%) recovered to the previous VA. Compared with the active phase, MP at 2°, 4° and BCVA were significantly improved in the resolved phase(P=0.000, 0.000, 0.000, respectively). MP at 2°, 4° and BCVA of CSC eyes were significantly poor compared with the fellow eyes in the active phase (P=0.000, 0.000, 0.000, respectively). In the resolved phase there was no significant difference between the CSC eyes and fellow eyes (P=0.339, 0.141, 0.161, respectively). BCVA was shown to significantly correlate with MP at 2° in the active phase (ρ=–0.630, P<0.001).Conclusions: The acute CSC often had a good prognosis both in BCVA and MP. MP can provide an additional objective parameter to evaluate the retinal function changes at macula of acute CSC.

Objective: To observe the anterior chamber angle opening distance before and after laser peripheral iris (LPI) in patients with different clinical types of primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) by using optical coherence tomography (OCT), and evaluate the effect of the treatment. Methods: Selected 46 cases (50 eyes) of patients with PACG, including 26 cases (27 eyes) of acute angle closure glaucoma at the preclinical stage and remission phase of ocular and 20 cases (23 eyes) of chronic angle closure glaucoma, implemented LPI, examined the anterior chamber angle opening distance at the point of 500 and 750 μm from posterior to the scleral before and after surgery for 2 weeks by OCT, using a paired t-test. Results: Compared the anterior chamber angle opening distance before and after surgery for 2 weeks, the difference in patients with acute angle closure glaucoma was statistically significant (P<0.05), but not statistically significant in patients with chronic angle closure glaucoma (P>0.05). Conclusion: The opening distance of the anterior chamber angle of the patients with acute angle closure glaucoma after LPI was increased, and the treatment effect was better; but of the patients with chronic angle closure glaucoma after LPI, the distance was not obviously increased, the tendency of anterior chamber angle occlusion still existed after LPI.
