目的:分析角膜后前表面曲率半径比值(B/F比值)与年龄相关性白内障患者术后屈光误差的关系,探讨B/F比值对人工晶状体(intraocular lens,IOL)度数计算精确性的影响。方法:选取2019年3—11月在天津医科大学眼科医院白内障中心就诊,并拟行单眼白内障手术的年龄相关性白内障患者共197例(197眼),术前应用Pentacam眼前节分析仪测量患者眼前节生物参数,并以B/F比值下限25%、上限25%为界将患者分为下25%组、25%~75%组、上25%组。术后3个月应用全自动电脑验光仪评估患者术后屈光状态,并计算患者术后屈光误差(postoperative refractive error,PE),比较三组平均屈光误差(mean refractive error,ME)、平均绝对误差(mean absolute error,MAE)、中位数绝对误差(median absolute error,MedAE)以及屈光误差在±0.25、±0.50、±0.75、±1.00、>±1.00 D范围内百分比差异。结果:B/F比值与年龄相关性白内障患者术后屈光误差呈中度相关(r=?0.445, P<0.001)。随着B/F比值增大,患者术后屈光状态由远视向近视漂移,术后3个月MAE、MedAE分别为0.55 D、0.46 D。屈光误差在±0.25、±0.50、±0.75、±1.00、>±1.00 D范围的百分比分别为29.4%、52.8%、71.6%、87.6%、12.7%。根据正常年龄相关性白内障人群B/F比值优化得到的矫正角膜折射指数计算角膜曲率后,MAE、MedAE分别为0.51、0.43 D,均低于矫正前(P<0.05)。结论:B/F比值对年龄相关性白内障患者术后屈光状态有影响。随着B/F比值的增加,白内障患者术后屈光状态由远视逐渐向近视漂移,且B/F比值越偏离正常平均值,患者的屈光误差绝对值越大。
Objective: To analyze the relationship between corneal B/F ratio and postoperative refractive error in age-related cataract patients, and to explore the impact of B/F ratio on the accuracy of intraocular lens power calculation. Methods: A total of 197 age-related cataract patients (197 eyes) who were treated in the cataract center of our hospital from March 2019 to November 2019 and were going to undergo monocular cataract surgery were selected. The biological parameters of the anterior segment were measured by Pentacam anterior segment analyzer before surgery, and the patients were divided into three groups (25% below the B/F ratio, 25%~75%, and 25% below the B/F ratio) with the lower limit and the upper limit of 25%. Three months after surgery, the postoperative refractive state of patients was evaluated by automatic computerized refractometer, and the postoperative refractive error (PE) was calculated, and the percentage differences of mean refractive error (ME), mean absolute error (MAE), median absolute error (MedAE) and refractive error in the range of ±0.25, ±0.50, ±0.75, ±1.00 and < ±1.00D were evaluated. Results: The B/F ratio was moderately correlated with postoperative refractive error in age-related cataract patients (r= ?0.445, P < 0.001). With the increase of B/F ratio, the refractive state of patients shifted from hyperopia to myopia after surgery, and the MAE and MedAE were 0.55 D and 0.46 D respectively in 3 months after surgery. The percentages of refractive error in the range of ±0.25, ±0.50, ±0.75, ±1.00 and < ±1.00 D were 29.4%, 52.8%, 71.6%, 87.6% and 12.7%, respectively. After adjusting the corneal curvature according to the B/F ratio of the population based on our previous study, MAE and MedAE were 0.51 D and 0.43 D, respectively, which were lower than those before correction (P< 0.05). Conclusions: There is a correlation between B/F ratio and postoperative refractive error in age-related cataract patients. As the B/F ratio increased, the refractive state of the patient gradually drifted from farsightedness to myopia after cataract surgery, and the more the B/F ratio deviated from the normal average, the greater the absolute value of the patient's refractive error.
目的:关于大气污染物是否与年龄相关性白内障有关联的研究有限,以往的研究结果也不一致。本研究旨在评估多种大气污染物与年龄相关性白内障之间的关系。方法:采用双样本孟德尔随机化(Mendelian Randomization, MR)设计,并使用了来自亚洲及欧洲两个人群的独立全基因组关联研究(Genome-Wide Association Study, GWAS)的汇总统计数据。大气污染物数据包括颗粒物2.5(particulate matter2.5, PM2.5)、PM2.5-10、PM10、二氧化氮和氮氧化物。主要分析方法是逆方差加权(inverse variance weighted, IVW)法,辅以多变量孟德尔随机化分析(multivariable Mendelian randomization, MVMR)校正污染物间混杂效应,并通过敏感性分析验证结果的稳健性。Cochran Q检验法被用来评估各个单核苷酸多态性(single nucleotide polymorphism, SNP)之间是否存在显著的异质性。并采用MR PRESSO方法来识别并排除SNP中的异常值,同时利用MR Egger回归模型评估SNP之间可能存在的多效性,并通过逐一排除每个SNP进行敏感性分析,以确保MR分析结果不受单一SNP的显著影响。结果:关于5种大气污染物特征,亚洲人群结果中,二氧化氮暴露与年龄相关性白内障存在正相关(OR=1.03, 95%CI 1.00~1.06,P=0.026),但在多变量分析中效应方向反转(OR=0.86, 95%CI 0.77~0.97, P=0.013);在欧洲人群中,PM2.5-10与年龄相关性白内障显著相关(OR=1.35, 95%CI 1.12~1.62,P=0.002),且在多变量分析中因果效应依然显著(OR=1.58, 95%CI 1.27~3.70, P=0.03)。敏感性分析支持结果的稳健性,未发现异质性或多效性偏倚。结论:环境中PM2.5-10和二氧化氮与年龄相关性白内障存在复杂因果关系,且因人群而异。亚洲人群中,二氧化氮单变量分析呈正相关,多变量分析效应反转,倾向多变量分析结果,即其降低年龄相关性白内障风险;欧洲人群中,PM2.5-10单、多变量分析均呈正相关,显示其会增加年龄相关性白内障风险。
Objective: Research exploring the association between atmospheric pollutants and age-related cataracts is scarce, and previous studies have yielded inconsistent findings. This study aims to assess the relationship between various atmospheric pollutants and age-related cataracts. Methods: We adopted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) design, using summary statistics from independent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) conducted on Asian and European populations. The atmospheric pollutant considered in this study included PM2.5, PM2.5-10, PM10, nitrogen dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. The primary analysis method was the inverse variance weighted (IVW) approach. Additionally, multivariable MR (MVMR) was used to adjust for confounding effects among pollutants. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to verify the robustness of the results. The Cochran Q test was employed to assess significant heterogeneity among SNPs. The MR PRESSO method was applied to identify and exclude outliers SNPs, while the MR Egger regression model was used to evaluate potential pleiotropy among SNPs. Furthermore, sensitivity analyses were performed by excluding each SNP one by one to ensure that the MR analysis results were not significantly influenced by a single SNP. Results: Among the five atmospheric pollutants studied, we discovered a significant positive correlation between nitrogen dioxide exposure and age-related cataracts in the Asian population (OR=1.03, 95%CI 1.00-1.06, P=0.026). However, the direction of the effect was reversed in the multivariable analysis (OR=0.86, 95%CI 0.77-0.97, P=0.013). In the European population, PM2.5-10 was significantly associated with age-related cataracts (OR=1.35, 95%CI 1.12-1.62, P=0.002), and the causal effect remained significant in the multivariable analysis (OR=1.58, 95%CI 1.27-3.70, P=0.03). Sensitivity analyses supported the robustness of the results, with no evidence of heterogeneity or pleiotropy bias. Conclusions: This study revealed a complex causal relationship between environmental PM2.5-10 and NO₂ and age-related cataracts, which varied across populations. In Asian populations, the univariate analysis of nitrogen dioxide showed a positive correlation, but the effect was reversed in multivariate analysis, leaning towards the multivariate results and indicating a reduced risk of age-related cataracts. In European populations, both univariate and multivariate analyses of PM2.5-10 showed a positive correlation, increasing the risk of age-related cataracts. The study provides genetic evidence for the prevention and control of air pollution and highlights the importance of using multi-pollutant models to assess environmental health effects.

Age-related cataract is the leading blinding eye disease in the world, and surgery is the only effective treatment. The good recovery of vision after cataract surgery depends not only on the patients’ ocular conditions but also on the surgical technique and quality management level of medical institutions. Standard surgical procedures, the accurate measurement and calculation of intraocular lens (IOL) power, and professional perioperative management are the keys to restoring the sight of patients. In addition, the National Health Commission proposed in the "Work Plan for Strengthening the Cataract Surgery Capacity Building of County-level Hospitals (2025-2027)" that the ability of county-level hospitals to perform cataract surgery should be further improved by strengthening the construction of equipment and facilities, assisting county-level hospitals in carrying out personnel training, and establishing standardized surgical system. Therefore, in order to standardize cataract surgery procedures, ensure the safety of the surgery and reduce surgical complications, under the leadership of the Guangdong Medical Association, the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University, in conjunction with 21 other medical institutions in Guangdong Province and 35 authoritative experts, jointly drafted this group standard. On the basis of referring to the domestic and international standards for cataract surgery and combining with the current situation of cataract surgery in Guangdong Province, they jointly determined this group standard. This group standard systematically describes the basic requirements for the software and hardware conditions of age-related cataract surgery, the indications and contraindications of the surgery, formulates the standard surgical procedures and quality control standards for cataract surgery, and introduces the prevention and treatment of complications or adverse reactions, providing guidance for all qualified medical institutions at different levels to carry out cataract surgery and quality assessment.
