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.
在热带和亚热带国家,真菌性角膜炎是角膜盲的一个重要原因。随着现代医学的进展,早期真菌性角膜炎通过药物或者手术治疗后治愈率有了显著改善,但是很多真菌性角膜炎患者由于缺乏及时合理的治疗,病情变得迁延难治,预后较差。随着无数学者的努力,近年来在难治性真菌性角膜炎领域在抗真菌药物、给药方式及其他治疗方式上有了一些新的进展,目前可选的难治性真菌性角膜炎治疗方式各有特点及优劣之处。了解目前可用的抗真菌治疗方式、其适应证及不良反应等,是处理难治性真菌性角膜炎病例的必要条件。
Fungal keratitis is a significant cause of corneal blindness in tropical and subtropical countries. With the development of modern medicine, the cure rate of early fungal keratitis has been significantly improved after medical or surgical treatment. However, due to the lack of timely and reasonable treatment for many patients with fungal keratitis, the disease has become difficult to treat and the prognosis is poor. With the efforts of numerous scholars, some new advances have been made in the treatment of recalcitrant fungal keratitis in recent years, such as antifungal drugs and administration methods. At present, the treatment methods of recalcitrant fungal keratitis have their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. It is necessary to understand the available antifungal therapies, their indications and side effects for the treatment of recalcitrant fungal keratitis.
该文报道一例中年男性患者,因“头痛伴左侧听力下降”就诊于我院神经外科,经影像学检查诊断为“左侧三叉神经鞘瘤”, 手术前实验室检查发现血象异常,经血液科会诊后诊断为多发性骨髓瘤IgDλ型,于化疗期间并发神经麻痹性角膜炎(neurotrophic keratitis,NK),可于角膜中央偏下方的上皮及前基质层见到类圆形的灰白色浑浊,呈胶冻样,经局部药物治疗后好转,但残留角膜基质白色浑浊。由于现阶段临床对NK尚欠缺充分认识,易延误诊治,并且本文报道的此例NK患者,因其有化疗病史且于治疗期间出现相关体征,易被误诊为化疗并发细菌性角膜炎,文章通过分析其角膜病变的特征及简单回顾NK的临床特征、鉴别诊断及治疗,以期临床早期识别及治疗此类患者,恢复角膜的光学特性,维持良好的视觉体验。
Tis article reports a case of a middle-aged male patient who visited the Department of Neurosurgery of our hospital due to headache and lef hearing loss. He was diagnosed with lef trigeminal schwannoma by imaging examination and abnormal blood routine before surgery. During chemotherapy and paralytic keratitis (neurotrophic keratitis, NK), can be seen in the lower part of the corneal center of the epithelium and the prestromal layer of round gray and white turbidities, jelly like, afer local drug treatment improved, but residual corneal stromal white turbidities. Due to the lack of full understanding of NK in clinic at the present stage, diagnosis and treatment is easy to be delayed. In addition, the NK patient reported in this paper was easily misdiagnosed as bacterial keratitis complicated by chemotherapy due to his history of chemotherapy and related signs during treatment. Tis paper analyzed the characteristics of keratopathy and briefy reviewed the clinical characteristics, diferential diagnosis and treatment of NK, in order to identify and treat these patients in early clinical stage, restore the optical characteristics of cornea and maintain good visual experience.
目的:观察生物工程角膜应用于感染性角膜炎的治疗效果。方法:对成都爱迪眼科医院19例采用生物工程角膜治疗的感染性角膜病角膜植片存活状况、术后视力变化及并发症进行回顾性分析。与同期22例人来源供体角膜移植行术后排异对比。结果:在19例患者中,女9例(47.37%),平均年龄53.32岁;病因中细菌性角膜炎7例(36.84%),真菌性角膜炎8例(42.11%),病毒性角膜炎4例(21.05%)。术前裸眼视力检查:光感3例(光定位准),手动5例,眼前指数4例,3.0~3.9者7例。随访1~14个月未发生原发感染复发;植片成活18例(94.74%),1例1月内植片溶解再手术(5.26%)。裸眼视力4.0~4.5者15例(78.95%),3.0~4.0者3例(15.79%),数指1例(5.26%)。远期(6~12个月以上)生物工程角膜移植术后角膜缘新生血管更易侵入,以植片缘环形浑浊为主。两组间排异差异无统计学意义(Mann-Whitney检验,P=0.736)。结论:生物工程角膜具有较好的人角膜结构替代功能,对未累及全层的感染性角膜疾病起到较好的结构和功能重建作用,恢复有用视力,缓解角膜供体来源不足,有一定推广意义。
Objective: To observe the outcomes of bioengineered cornea for lamellar keratoplasty in the infectious keratitis.Methods: A total of 19 cases with infectious keratitis treated by bioengineered cornea in Chengdu Aidi Eye Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The results of graft survival, visual acuity and complications were collected.Rejection reaction was compared with 22 cases of human donor corneal lamellar keratoplasty during the same period. Results: In the 19 cases patients, 9 cases were women (47.37%) with the average age of 53.32 years. Among the pathogenic factors, 7 cases were bacterial keratitis (36.84%), 8 cases were fungal keratitis (42.11%) and 4 cases were viral (21.05%). The results of preoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) showed that 3 cases were light perception (accurate light positioning), 5 cases were hand moving, 4 cases were counting finger, and 7 cases were in the range of 3.0–3.9. In the follow-up, no case of primary infection recurrence occurred; 18 grafts survived except one case dissolved end with re-transplant by human donor. The postoperative UCVA of 15 cases (78.95%) were in the range of 4.0–4.5, 3 cases were in the range of 3.0–4.0 (15.79%), and 1 case of counting finger (5.26%). There was no significant difference in rejection action (P=0.736). In the follow-up more than 6–12 months, the limbal neovascularization of the biological engineering cornea is more likely to invade with the result of ring shape opacity at the graft edge. Conclusion: The biological engineering cornea can play a good role in the reconstruction for the cases with infectious keratitis. It provides another way to solve the shortage of corneal grafts.
真菌性角膜炎是我国导致角膜盲的重要原因之一。由于部分患者在感染早期缺乏合理治疗,导致病情迁延难治,最终行角膜移植是主要的治疗手段。然而真菌感染十分顽固,术后仍有一定概率复发。因此,了解真菌性角膜炎的最新研究进展以及不同类型抗真菌药物和角膜移植手术的优劣,根据适应证选择合理的治疗方案,才能最大程度控制感染,降低真菌复发率,挽救患者视力。与此同时,对角膜移植后真菌复发的相关文献进行研究,总结其复发规律、影响因素和临床特征以及治疗手段和预后。为制订合理的、符合国情的治疗策略提供参考依据。
Fungal keratitis is one of the important causes of corneal blindness in China. Due to the lack of reasonable treatment for some patients in the early stage of infection, the disease is protracted and refractory, and eventually, corneal transplantation is the main treatment. However, Fungal keratitis infection is very stubborn, and there is still a certain probability of recurrence after surgery. Therefore, understanding the latest research advances in fungal keratitis as well as the advantages and disadvantages of different types of antifungal drugs and corneal transplantation, and choosing a reasonable treatment plan according to the indications can maximize the control of the infection, reduce the recurrence rate of the fungus and save the vision of patients. In addition, the relevant literature on fungal recurrence after corneal transplantation was studied to summarize its recurrence pattern, influencing factors and clinical features, as well as treatment means and prognosis. The purpose of this study is to provide a reference basis for formulating a reasonable treatment strategy in line with China’s national conditions.
单纯疱疹病毒基质型角膜炎是引起角膜盲的主要原因之一,目前以局部使用糖皮质激素联合口服抗病毒药物治疗为主。传统治疗存在生物利用度低、药物不良反应等缺点,因此亟需寻找替代药物、开发新剂型。环孢素A和他克莫司等免疫抑制剂疗效明显、不良反应少,可能是糖皮质激素的潜在替代品。α干扰素联合阿昔洛韦可缩短病程,而单独使用效果有限。基质再生剂具有新的抗病毒机制,值得进一步研究。此外,纳米载体递送系统,如脂质体、纳米胶束、立方液晶纳米粒,由于能够增强药物角膜穿透性和延长药物释放,在治疗基质型单纯疱疹性角膜炎方面具有巨大潜力。
Herpes simplex virus stromal keratitis is one of the leading causes of corneal blindness. A topical corticosteroidagent in conjunction with an oral antiviral agent is the preferred treatment, which has the disadvantages of low bioavailability and drug side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find alternative drugs and develop new dosage forms. Immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine A and tacrolimus have obvious curative effects and few side effects, and may be potential substitutes for glucocorticoids. Interferon-α combined with acyclovir can shorten the course of disease, but the effect is not obvious when used alone. Matrix regenerating agents have new antiviral mechanisms and deserve further study. In addition, nanocarriers delivery systems, such as liposomes, nanomicelles and cubosomes, have great potential in the treatment of herpes simplex virus stromal keratitis due to their ability to enhance drug corneal penetration and prolong drug release.
