晶状体悬韧带异常(包括松弛和断裂)可引起晶状体虹膜隔前移、前房变浅、房角关闭和眼压升高,即闭角型青光眼(angle closure glaucoma,ACG)的发生。特发性悬韧带异常多发生于原发性闭角型青光眼(primary angle closure glaucoma,PACG),可能是PACG的发病机制之一,但仍需前瞻性队列研究进一步证实。此类患者双眼前房深度不等,虹膜/晶状体震颤等体征及超声生物显微镜(ultrasound biomicroscopy, UBM)检查能够诊断的悬韧带异常比例较低,通常在青光眼白内障联合手术前未能被诊断而在术中被发现,故被称为隐匿性晶状体悬韧带异常。目前根据术中表现如充分散瞳可见晶状体赤道部,连续环形撕囊破囊时可见前囊放射状皱褶,超声乳化时囊袋赤道部移位或卷曲,灌注抽吸时囊袋异常飘动,囊袋口不规则等可明确诊断。根据悬韧带异常的程度、范围,选择超声乳化晶状体吸除联合人工晶体植入,联合或不联合囊袋张力环植入或人工晶体缝合固定术。PACG患者术前和术中应关注是否存在悬韧带异常,制定个体化治疗方案,以保证手术安全和疗效。
Zonulopathy (including zonular laxity and dehiscence) can cause anterior displacement of iris-lens diaphragm, shallow anterior chamber, anterior chamber angle closure and elevated intraocular pressure, resulting in angle closure glaucoma (ACG). Idiopathic zonulopathy is common in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG), which may be one of the pathogenic mechanisms of PACG. But further prospective cohort studies are needed to verify that. ?e proportion of diagnosis ofzonulopathy in PACG patients before cataract extraction in combination with anti-glaucoma surgery is low by signs of anterior chamber depth differences between both eyes, iridodonesis / phacodonesis and UBM examination. Hence, most cases with zonulopathy in PACG are found during the operation, which is called occult zonulopathy. At present, the diagnosis of zonulopathy in PACG is often made according to the intraoperative manifestations, such as visible capsular equator aěer mydriasis, wrinkling of the anterior capsule during manual capsulorhexis, infolding of peripheral capsule or visualization of the capsular equator during the cortical or nuclear removal; loose or ěoppy capsular bag. According to different ranges and severities ofzonulopathy, phacoemulsi?cation combined with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, with or without capsule tension ring implantation, or sclera-fixated IOL is selected. PACG patients should be paid more attention to the diagnosis and differentiation ofzonulopathy before and during operation, fully improved the preoperative examination, and formulated individualized treatment plans to ensure the safety and efficacy of operation.

目的:探讨基因多态性与2型糖尿病(type 2 diabetes mellitus,T2DM)患者发生增生性糖尿病性视网膜病变(proliferative diabetic retinopathy,PDR)的相关性。方法:2019年1月至2020年9月桂林医学院附属医院收治的700名T2DM患者,分为无糖尿病性视网膜病变(non-diabetic retinopathy,NDR)组(n=386)与PDR组(n=314)。收集临床基本资料,抽取患者外周血,使用竞争性等位基因特异性聚合酶链反应(kompetitive allele specific polymerase chain reaction,KASP)基因分型检测法检测两组患者血清中的内皮素-1(endothelin 1,EDN1)基因的rs5370位点和补体因子H(complement factor H,CFH)基因的rs800292位点基因型。用logistic回归分析这2个基因位点的多态性与广西汉族T2DM患PDR的关系。结果:收缩压、使用胰岛素治疗以及肾小球滤过率(glomerular filtration rate,GFR)的分析结果显示两组间差异有统计学意义(P收缩压=0.025,P胰岛素=0.001,PGFR=0.013)。排除以上混杂因素后,EDN1基因的rs5370位点上TT基因型与PDR易感性呈正相关(P=0.03,OR=2.973;adj.P=0.011,OR=2.718);CFH基因的rs800292位点上AA基因型与PDR易感性呈正相关(P=0.037,OR=1.949;adj.P=0.044,OR=2.058)。结论:收缩压增高、GFR降低可能与T2DM患者发生PDR相关。EDN1基因的rs5370位点与CFH基因的rs800292位点的多态性与广西汉族人群的PDR易感性显著相关。
Objective: To investigate the relationship between gene-polymorphisms and proliferative diabetic retinopathy in patients who have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Method: A total of 700 hospitalized T2DM patients were included in this study from January 2019 to September 2020. They were divided into two groups: the no-diabetic retinopathy (NDR) group (n=386) and the proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) group (n=314). Basic clinical data were collected, and clinical indexes affecting diabetic retinopathy were analyzed. Two tag SNPs rs5370 in endothelin 1 (EDN1) and rs800292 in complement factor H (CFH) were examined using kompetitive allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (KASP) genotyping assays. Logistic regression was used to analyse the relationship between the polymorphisms of these two SNPs and PDR in a Guangxi Han population with T2DM. Results: Significant differences were found through the analysis of the systolic blood pressure—whether using insulin or not—and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between the two groups (Psystolic blood pressure=0.025, Pinsulin=0.001, PGFR=0.013) The TT genotype of rs5370 was determined to be associated with an increased risk of PDR (P=0.03, OR=2.973; adj.P=0.011, OR=2.718). The AA genotype of rs800292 was also determined to be associated with an increased risk of PDR (P=0.037, OR=1.949; adj.P=0.044, OR=2.058). Conclusion: Increased systolic blood pressure and decreased GFR may be associated with PDR in patients with T2DM. The rs5370 polymorphism of the EDN1 gene and the rs800292 polymorphism of the CFH gene are significantly associated with the risk of PDR in Guangxi’s Han population.
目的:探讨2型糖尿病(type 2 diabetes mellitus,T2DM)患者二甲双胍治疗与糖尿病性视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy,DR)的相关性。方法:回顾2015年9月至2020年8月在中日友好医院眼科就诊的1 891例T2DM患者的临床资料,对病程≥10年的324例T2DM患者的一般资料、内科疾病史、糖尿病治疗史、眼科检查和实验室血生化指标进行回顾性病例研究。根据是否接受二甲双胍治疗分为二甲双胍治疗组与非二甲双胍治疗组,根据眼底检查结果同时结合DR临床诊断标准,将DR分为无明显DR、非增生性DR及增生性DR。采用logistic多因素回归分析判断年龄、性别、糖尿病发病年龄、糖尿病病程、高血压病程、高血脂病程、吸烟年数、体重指数、胰岛素治疗及空腹血糖、糖化血红蛋白、总胆固醇、三酰甘油、尿酸和血肌酐水平对结局变量的影响。结果:在DR的发病风险方面,二甲双胍治疗组与非二甲双胍治疗组的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。对T2DM患者DR发生及不同分期的相关变量行单因素及多因素分析,结果显示吸烟年数、空腹血糖及肌酐均与DR发病呈正相关(均P<0.05),而年龄与DR发病呈负相关(P<0.01),糖尿病发病年龄与DR发生呈显著负相关(OR=0.95,95%CI:0.92~0.98,P=0.0003)。在二甲双胍治疗的T2DM患者中,二甲双胍的疗程(OR=1.02,95%CI:0.96~1.08,P>0.05)及平均剂量(OR=1.50,95%CI:0.79~2.84,P>0.05)与DR的发生与进展均无显著相关性;女性DR发生与进展的风险较男性低(P<0.05);合并胰岛素治疗与DR发生呈明显正相关(OR=3.11,95%CI:1.59~6.07,P<0.01);吸烟年数长、糖化血红蛋白及尿酸水平高于正常范围均与DR的发生与进展呈正相关(P<0.05)。在口服二甲双胍患者中,未使用胰岛素治疗组和联合使用胰岛素组的DR发病风险有显著差异(P<0.01);而未口服二甲双胍患者中,胰岛素治疗与DR发生呈正相关(OR=12.43,95%CI:3.75~41.19,P<0.0001)。结论:病程10年以上T2DM患者中,二甲双胍治疗与DR发生与进展均无显著相关性。
Objective: To investigate the correlation between metformin therapy and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: The clinical data of 1 891 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus attending the ophthalmology department of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from September 2015 to August 2020 were reviewed. A retrospective study was performed on 324 cases of these T2DM patients with disease duration ≥10 years. Medical records of all patients including general information, history of medical disease, diabetes treatment, ophthalmologic examination and blood biochemical indices were collected. According to whether metformin treatment was received or not, the patients were divided into a metformin-treated and a non-metformin-treated groups. DR is classified into non-obvious DR, non-proliferative DR and proliferative DR according to the fundus examination and the clinical diagnostic criteria of DR. Logistic multiple regression analysis was used to determine the effects of age, sex, age of DM onset, duration of DM, duration of hypertension,duration of hyperlipidemia, years of smoking, body mass index, insulin treatment and fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid and blood creatinine levels on DR. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the risk of developing DR between the metformin-treated and non-metformin-treated groups (P>0.05). Univariate and multifactorial analyses of variables related to the occurrence and different stages of DR in patients with T2DM showed that years of smoking, fasting glucose and creatinine were positively associated with DR (P<0.05), while age was negatively associated with DR (P<0.01), and age of DM onset was significantly negatively associated with DR (OR=0.95, 95%CI: 0.92 to 0.98, P=0.0003). In T2DM patients treated with metformin, neither the duration of metformin (OR=1.02, 95%CI: 0.96 to 1.08, P>0.05) nor the mean dose(OR=1.50, 95%CI: 0.79 to 2.84, P>0.05) was significantly associated with developing DR. The risk of developing DR was lower in women than in men (P<0.05); combined insulin therapy was significantly positively correlated with the risk of DR (OR=3.11, 95%CI: 1.59 to 6.07, P<0.01); long-term smoking, glycosylated hemoglobin and uric acid levels higher than normal were positively associated with DR (P<0.05). In metformin users, there was a significant difference in the risk of developing DR between the no-insulin treatment group and the combined insulin group (P<0.01); and among patients not using metformin, insulin therapy was positively associated with the occurrence of DR (OR=12.43, 95%CI: 3.75 to 41.19, P<0.0001). Conclusion: There was no significant association between metformin treatment and DR among patients with T2DM for >10 years.
内源性干细胞在组织的损伤修复过程中组织相容性好、致瘤风险低,相较于外源性干细胞具有不需要体外扩增和培养、疾病传播风险低的优点,在细胞治疗领域具有显著优势。现在已经有多种使用内源性干细胞进行疾病治疗的成熟方式,应用领域包括了全身各种器质性和功能性疾病。在眼组织中,晶状体具有终生生长的能力且便于观察,是实现再生修复的突破点。哺乳动物中晶状体再生的实现有赖于晶状体内源性干细胞的定位和改良手术方式,以保留晶状体干细胞,并创造适合晶状体再生的微环境。对再生后的晶状体蛋白质组成分析,发现其类似成熟晶状体,而非胚胎期的晶状体,提示晶状体再生的调控与胚胎期的诱导发生并不相同;而调控晶状体再生的策略不仅着眼于干细胞的激活和正确分化的诱导,对其上皮间质转化过程也需要进行调控。在未来,为将晶状体再生的经验应用于其他眼组织中,动员内源性干细胞并促进其生长,可以添加细胞有效成分,比如外泌体、线粒体、小分子化合物等,模拟细胞应激;此外,还可以通过手术或生物材料辅助,恢复晶状体结构和环境。
Endogenous stem cells have significant advantages in cell therapy for excellent histocompatibility, low tumorigenicity risk, unnecessity for in vitro expansion and culture, and low disease transmission risk. There have been some applications for endogenous stem cells in treating diseases, targeting some organic and functional diseases throughout the body. In ocular tissue, the lens is a breakthrough for regenerative therapy due to its potential to grow throughout life and observation accessibility. Achieving lens regeneration in adult mammals attributes to some prerequisites. Firstly, the location of endogenous stem cells in the lens has been identified. Then, surgical approaches have been advanced to preserve lens stem cells and create a microenvironment suitable for lens regeneration. Protein compositional analysis of the regenerated lens reveals that it is similar to a mature lens rather than an embryonic lens, suggesting that the regulation of lens regeneration is not the same as the induction of embryonic onset. The strategy for regulating lens regeneration needs to focus not only on the activation and proper differentiation of stem cells but also on regulating the process of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). In the future, in order to apply the experiences of lens regeneration to other ocular tissues, to mobilize endogenous cells and promote their growth, some strategies could be used. These strategies include mimicking cellular stress via the addition of cellular active ingredients, such as exosome, mitochondria, and small molecular compounds. Additionally, we can also try to restore lens tissue structure and microenvironment through surgical or biomaterial assistance.

By guiding and encouraging the teachers participate in the curriculum reform of graduates, scientific research ability training, management informatization, the teaching quality control, student administration and so on. Through improving the long-term mechanism of teachers’ participation in teaching reform governance, the quality of teachers has been improved, which promote the high-quality development of ophthalmology graduate education.
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.

视神经脊髓炎相关性视神经炎(neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder optic neuritis,NMO-ON)是一种常见的视神经炎(optic neuritis,ON)类型。女性非白种人占优势,损伤严重,双侧受累较多,视力预后差。我国有很大部分特发性ON最终诊断为NMO-ON。在相关实验室、光学相干断层扫描(optical coherence tomography,OCT)、磁共振(magnetic resonance imaging,MRI)等技术支持下,目前对NMO-ON的认识有了很大的进步,治疗方式除了皮质类固醇外还有免疫球蛋白、血浆置换及免疫抑制剂等。但提高NMO-ON的诊疗水平还有很长的路,更好地认识NMO-ON有助于更快速的诊断、更规范的治疗、更良好的预后。我们可以联合神经科开展多中心大样本量前瞻性的临床对照研究。
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder- optic neuritis (NMO-ON) is a common type of optic neuritis (ON). This affliction is predominant in female non-Caucasians, with severe injury, more bilateral involvement, and poor visual prognosis. In China, a large proportion of idiopathic ON is ultimately diagnosed as NMO-ON. Our understanding of NMO-ON has made great progress under the technical support, such as the relevant laboratory, optical coherence tomography (OCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition to corticosteroids, immunoglobulin, plasmapheresis and immunosuppressive agents are also available for treatment. However, there is still a long way to improve the diagnosis and treatment level of NMO-ON. A better understanding of NMO-ON contributes to faster diagnosis, more standardized treatment, and better prognosis. We should cooperate with the neurology department to conduct a multi-center, large sample size prospective clinical control study.
