目的:比较中国南方地区与西北地区慢性泪囊炎患者的菌群分布,明确细菌谱的地理差异性,对不同地区抗生素使用因地制宜提供依据。方法:本研究为回顾性横断面研究。纳入2022年3月—2024年4月在中国西北地区三甲医院眼科诊断为慢性泪囊炎,拟行泪囊鼻腔吻合术的患者,并选取同时期在中国南方地区诊断为慢性泪囊炎的患者,所有患者在行经鼻镜泪囊鼻腔吻合术时切开泪囊取泪囊分泌物。两组标本均行一般细菌及真菌培养,比较两组细菌培养阳性率和构成比。结果:南方地区和西北地区泪囊分泌物细菌培养阳性率分别为26.0%和50.7%,差异有统计学意义(P < 0.001)。南方地区细菌分布中革兰阳性球菌、革兰阴性杆菌的构成比分别为 45.9%、37.6%,西北地区两种菌构成比为 71.4%、19.0%,差异有统计学意义(分别为P = 0.007,P = 0.003)。两地区检出率最高的菌均为凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌,链球菌属占比在两地区间比较差异有统计学意义(P = 0.004)。结论:中国南方地区比西北地区泪囊分泌物培养阳性率低,慢性泪囊炎细菌谱均以革兰阳性菌为主,南方地区革兰阴性菌占比较西北地区更高,链球菌属检出率较西北地区明显更低。这可能是不同地理环境、不同气候、不同生活习惯等共同因素的结果。
Objective: To compare the bacterial distribution of patients with chronic dacryocystitis from southern China and northwest China and to elucidate the geographical differences in the bacterial spectrum. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients diagnosed with chronic dacryocystitis at the ophthalmology departments of tertiary hospitals in southern and northwest China between March 2022 and April 2024. Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy was performed on all patients to collect lacrimal sac secretions. The specimens were cultured for bacteria and fungi, and the positive rates and composition ratios of bacterial culture were compared between the two groups. Results: The positive rates of bacterial cultures from lacrimal sac secretions were 26.0% in southern China and 50.7% in northwest China (P < 0.001). The proportions of Gram-positive cocci and Gram-negative bacilli were 45.9% and 37.6%, respectively, in southern China, compared to 71.4% and 19.0%, respectively, in northwest China (P = 0.007 and P = 0.003, respectively). Coagulase-negative staphylococci were the most frequently detected bacteria in both regions. However, the proportion of Streptococcus species was significantly higher in northwest China compared to southern China (P = 0.004). Conclusions: The positive rate of lacrimal sac secretion cultures was lower in southern China compared to northwest China. The bacterial spectrum of chronic dacryocystitis in both regions was predominantly composed of Gram-positive bacteria. However, the proportion of Gram-negative bacteria was higher in southern China, while the detection rate of Streptococcus species was significantly higher in northwest China. These differences may be attributed to variations in climate, geographical features, and lifestyle habits.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a major micro-vascular complication of diabetes, has emerged as a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness among adults worldwide. However, aside from pathological damage, the traditional laser and multi-needle operation treatments required for more advanced disease can cause further damage to the visual field and increase the operation risk. Therefore, the development of new therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of DR is essential. Some emerging evidence now indicates that pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a multifunctional protein, can target multiple pathways to exert neurotropic, neuroprotective, anti-angiogenic, anti-vasopermeability, anti-inflammation, anti-thrombogenic, and anti-oxidative effects against DR. This review addresses the functions of PEDF in different pathways that could lead to potential therapeutics for the treatment of DR.

Purpose: The surgical risk and complication rate after cataract surgery are extremely high in patients with nanophthalmos. This study is designed to compare the visual and refractive outcomes before and after coaxial micro-incision phacoemulsification and evaluate postoperative complications.Methods: Fifty nine patients (89 eyes) with axial length (AL)<21 mm diagnosed with nanophthalmos were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients underwent coaxial micro-incision phacoemulsification and IOL implantation. The main outcome measures included anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior chamber angle (ACA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Wilcoxon signed rank test or Mann-Whitney test, and Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were performed for statistical tests as appropriate.Results: The median AL was 19.63 mm. Sixty-six eyes (74.16%) had a history of surgical intervention. Postoperative ACD, ACV and ACA were increased significantly (all P<0.001), whereas postoperative IOP was decreased significantly. (P< 0.001) after surgery. Previous surgical intervention was related to a reduction in the postoperative ACD and ACA (P<0.01), and both preoperative and postoperative IOP (P<0.001). Postoperative BCVA was improved in 94.38% of the cases. Intraoperative complications mainly included iridoschisis (6 eyes, 6.74%). Early postoperative complications included temporary corneal edema (TCE) (23 eyes, 25.84%), anterior inflammatory response (AIR) (19 eyes, 21.35%), cystoid macular edema (CME) (14 eyes, 15.73%), and uveal effusion (4 eyes, 4.49%). Late postoperative complications included CME (8 eyes, 8.99%), uveal effusion (8 eyes, 8.99%), malignant glaucoma (2 eyes, 2.25%) and posterior capsular opacification (PCO)(10 eyes, 11.24%). The majority of complications (80%) were successfully resolved by pharmacotherapy or operation. The risk of surgical complications was greater in patients with lower AL, ACD, ACV or ACA and higher nuclear hardness or mean keratometry (Km).Conclusion: With reasonable preoperative management, prudent selection of the lens, rigorous surgical technique and unerring cognition of potential complications, coaxial microincision phacoemulsification lens surgery can be performed in patients with nanophthalmos and yield favorable outcomes and a low incidence of complications.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of non-phacoemulsification cataract operation in two different patterns of nucleus delivery on the quantity and morphology of corneal endothelial cells and postoperative visual acuity.Methods: Forty patients diagnosed with cataract underwent cataract surgery and were assigned into the direct nuclear delivery and semi-nuclear delivery groups. Lens density was measured and divided into the hard and soft lenses according to Emery-little lens nucleus grading system. Non-phacoemulsification cataract operation was performed. At 3 d after surgery, the quantity and morphology of corneal endothelium were counted and observed under corneal endothelial microscope. During 3-month postoperative follow-up, the endothelial cell loss rate, morphological changes and visual acuity were compared among four groups.Results: Corneal endothelial cell loss rate in the direct delivery of hard nucleus group significantly differed from those in the other three groups before and 3 months after operation (P<0.01), whereas no statistical significance was found among the direct delivery of soft nucleus, semi-delivery of hard nucleus and semi-delivery soft nucleus groups (all P>0.05). Preoperative and postoperative 2-d visual acuity did not differ between the semi-delivery of hard nucleus and direct delivery of soft nucleus groups (P=0.49),significantly differed from those in the semi-delivery of soft nucleus (P=0.03) and direct delivery of hard nucleus groups (P=0.14). Visual acuity at postoperative four months did not differ among four groups (P=0.067).
Conclusion: During non-phacoemulsification cataract surgery, direct delivery of hard nucleus caused severe injury to corneal endothelium and semi-delivery of soft nucleus yielded mild corneal endothelial injury. Slight corneal endothelial injury exerted no apparent effect upon visual acuity and corneal endothelial morphology at three months after surgery.
Background: The effect of perioperative injection of Lucentis on intraoperative bleeding in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) was systematically evaluated using a meta-analysis.Methods: Reports of surgical eye treatment with and without perioperative intravitreal injection of Lucentis in Medline, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China Academic Journals Full-text Database were included in the study. A meta-analysis was performed on all included literature. A computerized search was performed in the above databases. In addition, relevant books, journals, and conference proceedings and their bibliographies were manually searched. Published literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data extraction was performed on included studies. RevMan5.2 software was used for the statistical analyses. Dichotomous variables are presented as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The major indicator was the occurrence of intraoperative retinal hemorrhaging during vitrectomy.Results: A total of seven studies were included in the analysis. The treatment group included 159 eyes and control group included 149 eyes. The amount of intraoperative bleeding in the treatment group (perioperative Lucentis injection) was significantly lower than that in the control group (OR, 56.93; 95% CI: 21.81-148.57, P<0.01).Conclusions: Intravitreal Lucentis injection before a vitrectomy significantly reduced intraoperative bleeding in PDR patients.

The purpose of this article is to report a case with rubeosis iridis treated by intravitreal aflibercept. A 61-year-old man had iris neovascularization and scanty vitreous hemorrhage secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the right eye. Neither neovascularization of angle nor elevation of intraocular pressure was found. Single intravitreal afl ibercept 2 mg injection was performed. Rubeosis iridis disappeared on the next day. Scattered retinal laser photocoagulation was added 1 week later. There was no recurrence after 3-month follow-up. Aflibercept may serve as another anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) for treating rubeosis iridis.

To report a case of amelanotic melanoma located in the leff upper eyelid misdiagnosed as chalazion in a 41-yearold woman. Examination showed a red 2 cm × 2 cm mass in the left upper palpebral conjunctiva. The tumor was excised and regular fixed in 10% formalin, embedded, sectioned, HE stained and immunohistochemistry stained. Histopathological examination revealed nests of round atypical tumor cells with vacuolated cytoplasm and sheets of spindle atypical tumor cells. Some tumor cells had conspicuous nucleoli. Immunohistochemistry some tumor cells were positive for melanocytic markers S-100, HMB-45 and negative for CK, EMA. So the pathological diagnosis was palpebral conjunctiva amelanotic melanoma in the leff upper eyelid. For the mass in palpebral conjunctiva of senile patients without typical characteristics of chalazion, the surgical specimen should be performed for pathologic examination to rule out other tumors.
