Objectives: To evaluate the clinical value of peripheral retinal diseases in myopic patients examined by 200-degree ultra-wide field laser ophthalmoscope (Daytona). Methods: This was a prospective case-control study. We collected 1 000 myopic patients (2 000 eyes) who were scheduled to undergo refractive surgery in Aier Eye Hospital. They were examined by 200-degree ultra-wide field laser ophthalmoscope (Daytona) with non-mydriasis and three-mirror contact lens with mydriasis. The examination results were recorded and statistically analyzed. Results: A total of 230 cases (310 eyes) with peripheral retinopathy were found by 200-degree ultra-wide field laser ophthalmoscope (Daytona). The positive rate was 15.50%; 242 cases (322 eyes) with peripheral retinopathy were found by three- mirror contact lens, and the positive rate was 16.10%. The two methods were consistent in the detection of peripheral Retinopathy in myopic patients (the Kappa value is between 0.8 and 1.0). Conclusion: 200-degree ultra-wide field laser ophthalmoscope (Daytona) is an effective and rapid method for detecting peripheral retinopathy. It provides a broad clinical application prospects for peripheral retinopathy screening before refractive surgery.
视网膜微循环与脑小血管具有相似的特征。视网膜被认为是可检测到的“窗口”,以检测在神经退行性疾病中发生的微血管损伤。光学相干断层扫描血管造影(optical coherence tomography angiography,OCTA)是一种非侵入性成像方式,可提供视网膜、脉络膜和视神经中血流的深度分辨图像。现总结有关OCTA在与眼科相关的阿尔茨海默病、帕金森病、多发性硬化症及视神经退行性疾病等神经系统疾病中的应用,并讨论其可否作为早期诊断和监测神经退行性疾病的重要工具。
Retinal microcirculation shares similar features with cerebral small blood vessels. Thus, the retina may be considered as an accessible ‘window’ to detect the microvascular damage occurred during the development and progression of neurodegenerative disorders. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive imaging modality providing in-depth and high-resolved images of blood flow in the retina, choroid,and optic nerve. In this review, we summarize the current advances in the application of OCT-A in neurological diseases associated with ophthalmology such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and optic nerve degenerative diseases. Future directions for evaluating whether OCTA can be used as an important tool to early diagnose and monitor the neurodegenerative disorders are also discussed.

Methods: The dominant epitope polypeptides of AQP4 were synthesized and used to obtain the cell lines which secrete high tiler and high affinity monoclonal antibodies by immunizing BALB/c mouse cell fusion and screening of subclone. The large amount of monoclonal antibodies were obtained and used for practice via immunohistochemical staining and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Four hybridomas that can stably secret anti-AQP4 antibodies were obtained. ELISA, Western blot and Immunohistochemistry results suggested that the monoclonal antibodies specifically recognized human AQP4 protein.Conclusion: The anti-human AQP4 monoclonal antibody with high affinity and specificity was successfully generated, which thereby provides the foundation for the preparation of small molecule antibodies or humanized antibodies, and then lays a theoretical and technical basis for the treatment of neuromyelitis optica (NMO).

The unique pharmacological mechanism of diquafosol tetrasodium opens up a new direction for the medical therapies of dry eye. This article reviews the clinical therapeutic effect and research progress of diquafosol tetrasodium for the past few years.
局部点药是眼部用药最常见的方式,但一般药物通过角膜困难,药物生物利用度低。纳米载体药物于8 0年代开始用于眼部,脂质体和类脂质囊泡(niosomes)与眼表的黏蛋白相互作用,延长药物在眼表的停留时间。纳米乳剂(nanoemulsion)的表面活性剂可以松解角膜上皮细胞紧密连接,形成转运开口,抑制细胞表面糖蛋白酶P(glycoprotein P,Pgp)降解药物活性蛋白。纳米粒子(nanoparticles)通过角膜上皮和结膜上皮而不会引起毒性。纳米胶囊(nanocapsules)更深地内化到角膜上皮(50 μm处)。聚合物胶束(polymeric micelles)自组装成核-壳纳米载体增强药物渗透角膜的能力。阴离子高代聚酰氨基胺(poly-amidoamine,PAMAM)树枝状大分子增强药物通透性,中性和阳离子低代树枝状大分子通过网格蛋白途径介导药物更高的通透性。纳米晶体(nanocrystal),除增强药物溶解度和溶解速率之外,它的高黏附能力帮助药物保留和渗透到眼组织中。纳米结构材料与干眼关联密切,为干眼的治疗、诊断提供手段。
Topical administration is the most common method of ocular medication, but it is generally difficult for the drug to pass through the cornea, and the bioavailability of the drug is low. Nanocarrier drugs were used in eyes in the 1980s, and liposomes and lipoids vesicles (Niosomes) interacted with ocular surface mucins to prolong the residence time of the drug on the ocular surface. Nanoemulsion surfactants can release the tight junctions of corneal epithelial cells, form transport openings, and inhibit the degradation of pharmaceutically active proteins by cell surface glycoprotein P (Pgp). Nanoparticles pass through the corneal and conjunctival epithelium without causing toxicity. Nanocapsules internalize deeper into the corneal epithelium (at 50 μm). Polymeric micelles self-assemble into core-shell nanocarriers to enhance the ability of drugs to penetrate the cornea. Anionic high-generation poly-amidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers enhance drug permeability. Neutral and cationic low-generation dendrimers mediate higher drug permeability through clathrin pathway. Nanocrystal, in addition to enhancing drug solubility and dissolution rate, its high adhesion ability helps drug retention and penetration into ocular tissues. Nanostructured materials are closely related to dry eye and provide a choice for the treatment and diagnosis of dry eye.

Objective: To conduct a preliminary study of the Lea Symbols and HOTV charts to explore the visual development of children aged 2.5 to 5.0 years, and evaluate the application values of the two charts. Methods: A total of 461 children (922 eyes) in 2 early education centers and 3 kindergartens in Guangzhou were examined by using the Lea Symbols visual acuity chart and HOTV visual acuity chart in random order. All the children underwent low-pupil photometry, anterior section slit-lamp examination, retinal condition, eye movement, and eye position examination 1 day in advance. Children with no organic eye disease and normal diopter were selected as subjects. Visual acuity was recorded with 5 points. Results: 1) Measurable rate (visual acuity chart use degree of cooperation). 407 children completed visual examination of Lea Symbols, with an overall detectable rate of 92.08%; 402 children completed HOTV vision examination, with an overall detectable rate of 90.95%. The detectable rate of the former was higher than that of the latter, but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 =0.417, P=0.580). Further study found that the detectable rate of both visual acuities increased with age, and children were able to complete both visual acuity tests after the age of 3. 2) Results and comparison of two visual acuity (5-point recording method). The visual acuity of Lea was 4.89±0.05 in the right eye and 4.90±0.05 in the left eye. HOTV visual acuity was 4.84±0.05 in the right eye and 4.85±0.04 in the left eye. The visual acuity of the former was better than that of the latter, the difference was statistically significant (right eye: t=3.171, P=0.003; left eye: t=3.230, P=0.003). 3) Correlation between visual development and age. There was a significant positive correlation between the two types of visual development and age (P<0.001), that is, visual acuity gradually improves with age. 4) The relationship between visual development and eye and sex. There was no difference in visual development between the left and right eyes, but male children had better visual development than female, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Lea Symbols and HOTV visual acuity charts are recommended for visual acuity examination of children over 3 years old, and children are more likely to receive examination of Lea Symbols visual acuity chart. With the growth of age, the visual development of children shows a trend of improvement. Lea vision is superior to HOTV vision. Vision development has nothing to do with the eye, male children’s vision development is faster than female children.

Objective: To obtain the comprehensive information of the anterior eye image, establish complementary information for the diagnosis and evaluation of ocular diseases. Methods: We developed a multi-modal, non-invasive optical imaging platform by combining ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT) with a microvascular imaging system based on slit-lamp biomicroscopy. Results: The uHR-OCT module achieved an axial resolution of approximately 2 μm in tissues. The lateral resolution of the ocular surface microvascular imaging module under maximum magnification was approximately 3.5 μm. By combining the imaging optical paths of different modules, the customized multi-modal eye imaging platform was capable of performing real-time cross-sectional UHR-OCT imaging of the anterior eye, conjunctival vessel network imaging, high-resolution conjunctival blood flow videography, and traditional slit-lamp imaging on a single device. With self-developed software, a conjunctival vessel network image and blood flow videography were further analyzed to acquire quantitative morphological and hemodynamics parameters, including vessel fractal dimensions, blood flow velocity and vessel diameters. Conclusion: The ability of the multi-modal anterior eye imager to provide both structural and functional information for ophthalmic clinical applications can be demonstrated in a healthy human subject and a keratitis patient.
视网膜退行性疾病的种类繁多、患病人口基数大,该病特征为终末期严重的视网膜细胞丢失。视网膜类器官(retinal organoid,RO)可通过3D干细胞体外分化培养技术大量获取,并拥有完整的各亚型视网膜细胞和经典的视网膜分层结构。因此,RO可作为最佳的视网膜退行性疾病建模方法之一,以便于发现潜在致病机制。目前,RO衍生物已被广泛用于视网膜细胞替代治疗的动物实验和临床研究,具体的成效参差不齐,可能的影响因素包括移植细胞数量、移植时间窗、移植工具等。随着RO相关研究的快速发展,视网膜退行性疾病在分子和个体上的诊断和治疗将进一步完善。
Retinal degenerative diseases, characterized by severe retinal cell loss at the end stage, are of various kinds and haunt vast amounts of patients. Retinal organoid (RO) with complete retinal cell subtypes and classic retinal stratification structures can be obtained in large quantities through stem cells in vitro 3D differentiation and culture method. Therefore, RO can serve as one of the best ways for retinal degenerative disease modeling to facilitate the decipherment of underlying pathogenic mechanisms. At present, RO derivatives have been widely used in animal experiments and clinical studies of retinal cell replacement therapy with varying results possibly affected by cell quantity, time window, or tools in terms of transplantation. With the booming progress of RO-related research, the diagnosis and treatment on molecular and individual level for retinal degenerative diseases will be further improved.
