:439-448
 
目的:应用Cirrus HD-OCT 5000对正常眼黄斑及视盘血流参数进行血管成像测量,评估其可重复性及再现性。方法:纳入40只正常眼进行前瞻性研究。操作者A于一周内3天的同一时段(T1,T2,T3)对正常受试者的同一眼黄斑及视盘进行3次血管成像扫描,扫描过程中均开启FastTracTM图像跟踪功能,操作者B在T 2时间点再次对受试者同一眼进行相同程序扫描,使用Angio PlexMetrixTM量化软件(版本10.0)自动测量黄斑和视盘的血管长度密度(vessel length density,VD)和血管灌注密度(vascular perfusion density,PD)。应用单因素方差分析或非参数检验比较3次扫描的VD、PD是否有差异。采用组内相关系数(intraclass correlation coefficient,ICC)、变异系数(coefficient of variation,CV)评价操作者A的可重复性,采用一致性相关系数(consistent correlation coefficient,CCC)、重复性系数(repeatability coefficient,CR)、C V评价操作者间的再现性。结果:操作者A对黄斑及视盘各区域3次扫描的V D、P D之间差异无统计学意义(P >0.05)。操作者A对黄斑和视盘V D、PD 3次扫描的ICC值分别为0.260~0.517、0.362~0.898,黄斑及视盘各区域V D、P D的C V值均<8.1%。黄斑和视盘V D、P D的操作者间CCC值分别为0.3130~0.5665、0.5149~0.7801;黄斑VD和PD的CR值分别为3.2212~4.6399、0.0574~0.0832;视盘VD和PD的CR值分别为2.0675~4.0630、0.0447~0.0730。黄斑CV值均<9.0%,视盘CV值均<6.9%。结论:非同日的同一时段视盘浅层血流参数具有较好的重复性及再现性,黄斑浅层血流参数的重复性及再现性相对较差。
Objective: To evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of quantification of macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries in normal eyes using Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 angiography. Methods: Forty normal eyes were included in this prospective study. Angiography 3 mm × 3 mm scan protocol centered on the disc or macula of the same eye was repeated 3 times by operator A in the same period on 3 days (T1, T2, T3) within 1 week,and the FastTracTM image tracking function was turned on during the scan. Operator B repeated the same scan independently at T2 after operator A. Angio Plex MetrixTM quantification software (version 10.0) was used to automatically measure the vessel length density (VD) and vascular perfusion density (PD) of macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries. One-way analysis of variance or nonparametric test was used to compare the VD and PD measurements of the 3 scans. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and coefficient of variation (CV)were calculated to evaluate the intra-operator repeatability. Consistent correlation coefficient (CCC), repeatability coefficient (CR), and CV were calculated to evaluate the inter-operator reproducibility. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the measurements of VD and PD between the 3 scans of the macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries by operator A (P>0.05). The ICC values for the 3 scans of VD and PD of the macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries by operator A were 0.260–0.517 and 0.362~0.898, respectively.The CV values of the VD and PD of the macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries were all <8.1%. The inter-operator CCC values of the macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries were 0.3130–0.5665 and 0.5149~0.7801,respectively; the CR values of the VD and PD of macula were 3.2212–4.6399 and 0.0574–0.0832, respectively; the CR values of the VD and PD of optic disc were 2.0675–4.0630 and 0.0447–0.0730, respectively. The CV values of macular were all <9.0%, and the CV values of optic disc were all <6.9%. Conclusion:The macular and peri-papillary superficial capillaries parameters in the same period on different days have a good repeatability and reproducibility,while the superficial macular blood flow parameters have relatively poor repeatability and reproducibility.

青光眼视网膜血流密度与视野缺损程度的相关分析

Correlation between retinal vascular density and visual field loss in primary chronic angle-closure glaucoma

:433-438
 
目的:探讨原发性慢性闭角型青光眼(chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma,CPACG)患者的视网膜血流密度(vessel density,VD)与视野缺损程度的相关性。方法:光学相干断层血管成像技术(optical coherence tomography angiography,OCTA)测量89例(112眼)视野缺损的CPACG患者的黄斑区VD、视盘旁VD,分析VD与视野缺损程度的相关性。结果:视盘旁VD与视野缺损程度成负相关(r>–0.728,P<0.05)。黄斑浅层总VD的受试者工作曲线(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)及曲线下面积(area under the curve,AUC)为0.874。在控制年龄、眼压及视力的情况下,黄斑总浅层VD每降低1%,视野平均缺损(mean deviation,MD)值增加–0.639 dB。结论:CPACG患者VD与视野缺损呈线性负相关,OCTA可以方便无创地观察青光眼患者眼底血流情况,在视野缺损前发现视网膜VD降低,从而可以作为CPACG早期诊断的参考指标。
Objective: To investigate the correlation between the retinal vessel density (VD) and the degree of visual field loss in chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG). Methods: Eighty-nine CPACG patients (112 eyes)with different degrees of visual field loss were measured with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) for macular VD and para-optic microcirculation VD, and the correlation between them and the degree of visual field defect were analyzed. Results: There was a negative correlation between the VD of the microcirculation in each zone next to the optic disc and the degree of visual field loss (r>–0.728, P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) of the total VD of the superficial macula is 0.874. Under the condition of controlling age, intraocular pressure and vision, for every 1% decrease in the total superficial macular VD, the average visual field defect mean deviation (MD) value increases –0.639 dB. Conclusion: The VD of CPACG patients is linearly negatively correlated with visual field defects. OCTA can conveniently and non-invasively observe the blood flow of the fundus in patients with glaucoma. It is found that the retinal VD is reduced before visual field defects, which can be used as a reference index for early diagnosis of CPACG.

视网膜静脉阻塞继发黄斑水肿的抗VEGF治疗方案的研究进展

Research progress in anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment regimens for macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion

:371-379
 
抗血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)治疗视网膜静脉阻塞(retinal vein occlusion,RVO)继发黄斑水肿(macular edema,ME)的有效性及安全性已得到广泛证实。但抗VEGF治疗方案尚无统一标准。现行的治疗方案主要包括固定治疗方案、按需(pro re nata,PRN)治疗方案、稳定性标准驱使的按需(stabilization criteria-driven PRN)治疗方案、治疗与延长(treat and extend,T&E)方案。近年来不少研究综合比较了各个治疗方案在改善视功能、量化评估疾病活动性、调整随访频率等多个维度的表现,为临床医生提供选择抗VEGF治疗方案的参考依据。本文旨在回顾并总结近年来对抗VEGF药物治疗RVO继发ME的研究,阐述抗VEGF治疗方案的研究进展。
The efficacy and safety of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the treatment of macular edema (ME) secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) have been widely confirmed. However, there is no unified standard for anti-VEGF treatment regimens. Current treatment regimens mainly include fixed treatment regimen, pro re nata (PRN) treatment regimen, stabilization criteria-driven PRN treatment regimen, and treat and extend (T&E) regimen. In recent years, many studies have compared different treatment regimens in composite dimensions,including improving visual function, assessing disease activity quantitatively and adjusting the follow-up frequency,to provide clinicians with a reference of choosing anti-VEGF treatment regimens. The purpose of this article is to review and summarize recent researches on anti-VEGF drugs in the treatment of ME secondary to RVO, and to clarify the research progress in the anti-VEGF treatment regimens.

玻璃膜疣主要成分胆固醇对人视网膜色素上皮细胞金属硫蛋白表达的影响

Effect of cholesterol exposure on the expression of metallothionein in human retinal pigment epithelial cells

:128-132
 
目的:研究玻璃膜疣主要成分胆固醇对人视网膜色素上皮细胞ARPE-19中金属硫蛋白表达的影响。方法:体外培养ARPE-19细胞,将细胞分为对照组和胆固醇处理组(2.5 mg/mL),取样时间为0,6,12,24,48,72h。通过实时定量PCR检测hMT1a,hMT2a和hMT3在转录水平的表达,用蛋白质印迹法检测总金属硫蛋白的表达。结果:在转录水平上hMT1a,hMT2a和hMT3受到胆固醇影响mRNA表达上调,且hMT3上调倍数最大;总金属硫蛋白的蛋白表达随着胆固醇处理时间延长明显增多。结论:玻璃膜疣主要成分胆固醇可以上调人视网膜色素上皮细胞中金属硫蛋白的表达,提示金属硫蛋白表达可受到玻璃膜疣形成起始阶段的刺激,其检测是否能用于年龄相关性黄斑变性的早期发现及早期诊断还需深入探讨。
Objective: To study the effects of cholesterol, the main component of drusen, on the expression of metallothionein of ARPE-19 cells. Methods: The ARPE-19 cell line was cultured in vitro, and the cells were divided into a control group and a cholesterol treatment group (2.5 mg/mL). The treatment time was 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours. Real- time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of hMT1a, hMT2a and hMT3 at the mRNA level, and Western blot was used to detect the expression at the protein level. Results: The mRNA expression of hMT1a, hMT2a and hMT3 were up-regulated by cholesterol and the protein expression of total MTs was increased with cholesterol treatment. Conclusion: Cholesterol, the main component of drusen, can up-regulate the expression of metallothionein in human retinal pigment epithelial cells, suggesting that the expression of metallothionine can be stimulated by the initial stage of drusen formation. However, whether its detection can be used for the early detection and early diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration or not still needs to be further explored.

Objective: To assess the repeatability and reproducibility in measurements of retinal vessel diameter and tortuosity in diabetic patients using the Automated Retinal Image Analyzer (ARIA). Methods: A prospective diagnostic trial was performed; 2 skilled researchers performed a semi-automatic analysis of retinal vessels in digital color fundus photography (45° field of view centered on the optic disc) from 49 diabetic patients using ARIA software. Six largest arterioles and venules coursing through an area of 0.5–1.0 disc diameter surrounding the optic disc were selected. Then the retinal vessel parameters were calculated into the central retinal artery equivalent (CRAE), central retinal vein equivalent (CRVE), arteriole-to-venule ratio (AVR), mean retinal arteriolar tortuosity (MRAT) and mean retinal venular tortuosity (MRVT). To evaluate the repeatability of those values in 2 measurements by the same researcher and the reproducibility between different researchers. Bland-Altman analysis was employed to assess the agreement of the outcomes. Results: There was no significant difference in the CRAE, CRVE, and AVR values in the two-time measurements of researcher A (t= -0.089, -1.425 and 1.214, all P>0.05). It also showed a good repeatability and a highly positive correlation (ICC≥0.725, r≥0.721). There was no significant difference in those measurements between researcher A and B (t= -1.169, -0.050, 0.941, all P>0.05). It also showed a good reproducibility and a highly positive correlation (ICC≥0.750, r≥0.697). Results showed that there was no significant difference in the MRAT and MRVT values both in intraobserver and interobserver measurements (P≥0.05). Besides, Spearman’s nonparametric correlation analysis showed good repeatability and reproducibility (r≥0.571, r≥0.588, all P<0.01). Conclusion: ARIA software yields good repeatability and reproducibility in the measurements of retinal vessel diameter and tortuosity in diabetic patients.

视网膜类器官衍生物的研究应用

An overview on applications of retinal organoid derivatives

:255-270
 
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.

视网膜神经节细胞特异的报告基因干细胞系构建及其应用

Establishment and application of a retinal ganglion cell-specific reporter stem cell line

:245-254
 
目的:建立能驱动GFP在视网膜神经节细胞(retinal ganglion cell,RGC)中特异性表达的小鼠胚胎干细胞系。方法:通过同源重组的方式建立Brn3b-GFP敲入的小鼠胚胎干细胞系(Brn3b-GFP ESC),利用3D培养将其诱导成视网膜类器官检测GFP表达的细胞特异性,再用流式细胞分选富集GFP阳性RGC,采用玻璃体腔注射的方式将GFP阳性RGC移植到健康小鼠和NMDA损伤模型小鼠眼中探索该细胞的应用价值。结果:Brn3b-GFP ESC经3D视网膜诱导培养后在RGC中特异性表达GFP,将这些GFP阳性RGC移植到两种小鼠中2周后能在所有视网膜内观察到GFP阳性细胞存活,且均能观察到有供体RGC整合到宿主视网膜RGC层。结论:本研究建立了RGC特异的报告基因干细胞系Brn3b-GFP ESC,通过将该细胞系诱导成视网膜类器官进而获得的GFP阳性RGC移植后能够整合进宿主视网膜。该细胞系的建立将为青光眼及相关疾病提供重要的研究手段和工具。
Objective: This study was designed to establish a mouse embryonic stem cell line that can drive GFP expression specifically in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Methods: In this study, we established a Brn3b-GFP knock-in embryonic stem cell line (Brn3b-GFP ESC) by homologous recombination. By 3D culture, we induced these cells into retinal organoids to investigate the cell-specificity of GFP expression. GFP-positive RGCs were then enriched by flow cytometry and transplanted by intravitreal injection into the eyes of healthy mice and NMDA injury model mice to explore the feasibility of a potential clinical application. Results: GFP was specifically expressed in RGCs following induction of Brn3b-GFP ESCs into 3D retinal organoids. Two weeks after these GFP-positive RGCs were transplanted into the control and injured mice, GFP-positive cells were observed in all transplanted retinas, and donor RGCs were seen to integrate into the RGC layer of the host retina. Conclusion: This study has established a retinal ganglion cell-specific reporter stem cell line Brn3b-GFP ESC. The GFP-positive RGCs obtained by inducing the cell line into retinal organoids can be integrated into the host retina after transplantation. The establishment of such a cell line will provide an important research tool for glaucoma and related diseases.

1例年轻患者视网膜分支静脉阻塞的10年随访

A 10-year follow-up report of retinal branch vein occlusion in a young patient

:978-984
 
视网膜静脉阻塞(retinal vein occlusion,RVO)是发生率仅次于糖尿病性视网膜病变的视网膜血管病。RVO后导致视网膜血管损伤进而引起血管闭塞,造成视网膜缺血从而促进异常视网膜新生血管(retinal neovascularization,RNV)的增生,晚期发生玻璃体积血、新生血管性青光眼等并发症,积极治疗可以稳定患者的眼部情况,避免并发症的发生。本文报告了1例患有高血压病的23岁年轻女性患者发生视网膜分支静脉阻塞并发新生血管增殖膜的病例,给予病变区视网膜激光光凝治疗,10年后随访发现RNV膜机化萎缩。
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second most common retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy. Retinal vascular damage after RVO leads to venous occlusion, which further causes retinal ischemia and promotes abnormal retinal neovascularization (RNV). Later complications such as vitreous hemorrhage and neovascular glaucoma occur. Active treatment can stabilize the ocular condition of patients and avoid the occurrence of complications. This paper reports a case of a 23-year-old young female patient with hypertension who developed branch RVO complicated by neovascularization membrane. The lesion area was treated with laser photocoagulation. The RNV was found to be mechanized and atrophied after 10 years of follow-up.

:111-116
 
目的:分析高度近视有晶状体眼后房型人工晶状体植入术后孔源性视网膜脱离的临床特征及预后。方法:回顾分析2012年4月至2021年6月中山眼科中心收治的9例(9只眼)行后房型人工晶状体植入术后孔源性视网膜脱离患者的临床特征、手术方式及疗效,随访(4.96±4.78)个月。结果:患者年龄(30.44±20.11)岁,屈光手术至发病时间(32.10±17.80)个月。4例(44.4%)马蹄形裂孔,1例(11.1%)萎缩性裂孔,4例(44.4%)巨大裂孔;9眼裂孔均位于赤道部前,除2眼(22.2%)为单个巨大裂孔,1眼(11.1%)单个马蹄孔,余6眼(66.7%)均有视网膜周边变性区存在;视网膜脱离范围(3.0±1.12)个象限,8例累及黄斑;增殖性玻璃体视网膜病变C级以上4眼。视网膜初始复位率为77.8%,最终视网膜复位率100%。末次随访最佳矫正视力优于术前(P<0.05)。随访期间,2例硅油填充眼发生并发性白内障,4眼发生术后早期高眼压。结论:有晶状体眼后房型人工晶状体植入术前存在的视网膜变性或术后玻璃体牵引的存在可能是孔源性视网膜脱离发生的危险因素。
Objective: To analyze the clinical presentation, surgical management, and outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in patients with high-myopia corrected by posterior chamber phakic (PCP) intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Methods: Nine eyes of 9 patients in whom RRD developed after PCPIOL implantation from April 2012 to June 2021 in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center were retrospectively studied. Mean follow-up after retinal detachment surgery was (4.96±4.78)months. Results: Mean patient age was (30.44±20.11) years old. RRD occurred (32.10±17.80) months after PCPIOL implantation. Four (44.4%) breaks were horseshoe tear, 1 (11.1%) was atrophic hole and 4 participants (44.4%) had a giant retinal tear. Nine cases had causative breaks located anterior to the equator while peripheral retina lattice degeneration was found in 6 eyes. RRD extended from 1 to 4 quadrants (3.0±1.12 quadrants) and 8 cases were macula-off retinal detachments. Four eyes’ proliferative vitreoretinopathy were more severe than level C. Initial reattachment rate was 77.80%. Final retinal reattachment was 100%. Final follow-up BCVA was significantly better than baseline (P<0.05). Furthermore, concurrent cataract occurred in 2 eyes in which silicone oil was used as tamponade. Ocular hypertension was detected in 4 eyes after surgery. Conclusion: The existed lattice degeneration and postoperative vitreous traction may be risk factors for RRD after PCPIOL implantation.
