原发性翼状胬肉是一种上皮下生长的非肿瘤性变性组织，其发病机制主要与紫外线照射有关，然而，原发性翼状胬肉的具体发病机制仍不明确。近年来，随着医学研究的不断深入，研究显示原发性翼状胬肉的发生发展与多种因素息息相关。病毒感染、氧化应激、炎症反应，抑癌基因失活、DNA 甲基化等因素已被证实与翼状胬肉发病机制有关。此外，凋亡和增殖蛋白的失衡、细胞外基质调节剂和上皮-间充质细胞转化等因素也都在原发性翼状胬肉的发病过程中扮演着重要的角色。这些均可能导致细胞生长和分裂的异常，进而诱发翼状胬肉的形成。然而，各个因素之间的相互作用以及它们在发病过程中的具体作用机制仍有待进一步研究。该文中笔者就当前原发性翼状胬肉的发病机制进行评述，深入探究原发性翼状胬肉的发病机制及不同相关因素在原发性翼状胬肉发病过程中的相互作用。了解不同因素在发病过程中的作用，可以为临床提供更加精准、有效的预防和治疗策略提供依据，为患者带来更好的治疗效果和更高生活质量。

Primary pterygium is a non-neoplastic degenerative tissue that grows subepithelially, and its pathogenesis is mainly related to ultraviolet exposure, however, the full mechanism of primary pterygium remains unclear. In recent years, with the development of medical research, it is found that the occurrence and development of primary pterygium are closely related to a variety of factors. Viral infection, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, DNA methylation and other factors have been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of pterygium. In addition, imbalances of apoptosis and proliferative proteins, extracellular matrix regulators, and epithelial-mesenchymal cell transformation also play important roles in the pathogenesis of primary pterygium. These can lead to abnormal cell growth and division, which in turn induces the formation of pterygium. However, the interaction between these factors and their specific mechanisms of action in the pathogenesis process still need to be further studied. In this article it reviews the current pathogenesis of primary pterygium, and deeply explores the pathogenesis of primary pterygium and the interaction of different related factors in the pathogenesis of primary pterygium. By understanding the role of different factors in the pathogenesis process, we can provide more precise and effective prevention and treatment strategies for clinical practice, and better treatment outcomes and quality of life for patients.
