The purpose of this case series is to report the surgical outcomes from the combination of a clear lensectomy, OMNI® canaloplasty, and a HYDRUS® microstent with an adjacent goniotomy.This is a retrospective non-comparative single-center case series of four black patients of African descent with glaucoma who were treated with a clear lensectomy, OMNI canaloplasty, and a HYDRUS microstent with an adjacent goniotomy. The surgeries were performed by an experienced cataract and glaucoma surgeon, Daniel Laroche, MD. The parameters investigated in this study were postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) and the mean number of preoperative and postoperative medications needed.The mean age of the four patients was 44.5 years. All patients had a mean postoperative reduction in IOP of 17 mmHg to 12.7 mmHg. The mean number of preoperative medications was 2.2, while the mean number of postoperative medications was 0.3. Potential complications such as hyphema, IOP spikes, or corneal edema were not seen in this series. All patients achieved a lower IOP and stable vision with less refractive error. Patients also experienced improved visual fields, clearer vision, and more open angles.Clear lensectomy and combined microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and narrow-angle glaucoma (NAG) results in the safe lowering of IOP. The limitations of this study include the small series size and the retrospective potential for bias. Further research with a larger series and a prospective trial with follow-up should be performed.
本系列病例旨在报告透明晶状体切除术、OMNI® 管成形术和 HYDRUS® 微支架结合邻近眼球切开术的手术效果。这是一个回顾性非比较性单中心系列病例,四名非洲裔黑人青光眼患者接受了透明晶状体切除术、OMNI 管成形术和 HYDRUS 微支架结合邻近眼球切开术的治疗。手术由经验丰富的白内障和青光眼外科医生丹尼尔-拉罗舍(Daniel Laroche)完成。本研究调查的参数是术后眼压(IOP)以及术前和术后所需药物的平均数量。四名患者的平均年龄为 44.5 岁,所有患者术后眼压平均降低 17 毫米汞柱至 12.7 毫米汞柱。术前平均用药次数为 2.2 次,术后平均用药次数为 0.3 次。该系列手术中未出现眼底出血、眼压飙升或角膜水肿等潜在并发症。所有患者的眼压都有所降低,视力稳定,屈光不正减少。对原发性开角型青光眼(POAG)和窄角型青光眼(NAG)患者进行透明晶状体切除术和联合微创青光眼手术(MIGS)可安全降低眼压。这项研究的局限性包括系列研究规模较小,以及回顾性研究可能存在偏差。应进行更大规模的系列研究和前瞻性随访试验。

Human eye fixation is steadily interrupted by small, physiological or abnormal, eye movements. Square-wave jerks (SWJ) are the most common saccadic intrusion which can be readily seen at the bedside and also quantified using oculographic techniques. Various neurological, neuropsychiatric and psychiatric disorders display abnormal fixational eye movement patterns characterized by frequent SWJ. For the clinician, SWJ are particularly important because they can be readily observed at the bedside. Here, we will discuss the pathological conditions that present with SWJ and explore the expanding body of literature suggesting that SWJ may serve as a potential indicator for various clinical conditions.
人眼的固定状态会不断被微小的、生理性或异常的眼球运动打断。方波抖动(SWJ)是最常见的眼球飞蚊症,在病床边很容易看到,也可以通过眼动图技术进行量化。各种神经、神经精神和精神疾病都会表现出异常的固定眼球运动模式,其特点是频繁出现 SWJ。对于临床医生来说,SWJ 尤为重要,因为它们可以在床边随时观察到。在此,我们将讨论出现 SWJ 的病理条件,并探讨不断扩展的文献,这些文献表明 SWJ 可作为各种临床条件的潜在指标。

To study the efficacy of orbital injections of triamcinolone acetonide mixed 1:1 with dexamethasone in the treatment of active thyroid eye disease.Patients that received orbital injection(s) of triamcinolone acetonide mixed 1:1 with dexamethasone for thyroid eye disease were included in this retrospective study. Demographic and clinical data were collected from the pre-treatment and 1 month follow up evaluations. Clinical data included subjective pain and diplopia scores, best-corrected visual acuity, Intraocular pressure, extraocular motility, clinical activity score, Hertel exophthalmometry, and upper eyelid margin to reflex distance.Fifteen patients, 33 orbital injections, were included in the study. The average patient age was 59.2 years (SD ± 13.0) and 89% female. Subjectively, 67% of patients reported improvement of orbital pain and pressure versus 28% stable and 5% worse (p <0.001). Post-procedure clinical activity score decreased from 3.84 to 3.00 (p = 0.0004). There were no significant differences in upper eyelid margin to reflex distance (4.1 ± 1.4 mm vs. 4.3 ± 2.6 mm, p = 0.45), Hertel exophthalmometry (21.7 ± 9.4 mm vs. 21.8 ± 7.6 mm, p = 0.56), or extraocular motility (21% improved vs. 72% stable and 7% worsening, p = 0.50). No steroid-responsive increases in intraocular pressure or injection-related complications were reported.Orbital steroid injections can successfully reduce symptoms of TED and may be a reliable tool in the treatment of TED as a relatively safe, fast-acting, efficacious treatment option, particularly as a bridge to other therapies.
研究眼眶注射曲安奈德与地塞米松1:1混合液治疗活动性甲状腺眼病的疗效。这项回顾性研究纳入了接受眼眶注射曲安奈德与地塞米松1:1混合液治疗甲状腺眼病的患者。研究人员从治疗前和一个月的随访评估中收集了人口统计学和临床数据。临床数据包括主观疼痛和复视评分、最佳矫正视力、眼压、眼球外运动、临床活动评分、Hertel眼外肌测量和上眼睑边缘至反射距离。患者平均年龄为 59.2 岁(SD ± 13.0),89% 为女性。主观上,67%的患者表示眼眶疼痛和压力有所改善,28%的患者表示稳定,5%的患者表示恶化(P <0.001)。术后临床活动评分从 3.84 降至 3.00(p = 0.0004)。上睑缘到反射的距离(4.1 ± 1.4 mm vs. 4.3 ± 2.6 mm,p = 0.45)、Hertel 眼外测量(21.7 ± 9.4 mm vs. 21.8 ± 7.6 mm,p = 0.56)或眼外运动(21% 改善 vs. 72% 稳定和 7% 恶化,p = 0.50)均无明显差异。眼眶类固醇注射可成功减轻TED的症状,作为一种相对安全、起效快、疗效好的治疗方案,尤其是作为其他疗法的过渡,可能是治疗TED的可靠工具。

Ocular extraintestinal manifestations and treatments in patients with inflammatory bowel disease 炎症性肠病患者的眼部肠外表现和治疗方法
Pub Date : 2024-01-04 DOI: 10.3389/fopht.2023.1257068

Between 3-47% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs), and between 1.3-86.9% of patients with IBD suffer from ocular EIMs (O-EIMs) making the eye the third most common organ affected. These O-EIMs exist among a spectrum, with a variety of types and amounts of inflammation which can lead to decreased vision, and in some cases, vision loss, without treatment. We performed a literature review concerning O-EIMs in patients who had or were later found to have a diagnosis of IBD in order to identify ocular EIMs that commonly occur with IBD and to assess which patients with IBD may be at higher risk of developing O-EIMs. We were also interested in ascertaining whether O-EIMs were more common in specific populations of people or in specific subtypes of IBD. Lastly, we explored the common treatments of O-EIMs in patients with IBD. Upon review of the literature, we found that the most common O-EIMs are episcleritis and uveitis. Anterior uveitis is more commonly seen, although, inflammation may occur in the posterior segment of the eye as well and may also manifest as retinal vasculitis. While these diagnoses are sometimes known retrospectively, most patients present with nonspecific eye complaints of which decreased vision with or without pain is the most common. Visual symptoms associated with ocular EIMs may be non-specific so physicians should have a low threshold to refer to ophthalmology for visual complaints. It is important to keep in mind that ocular EIMs can cluster with skin and joint EIMs. Screening should be prioritized for female patients with Crohn’s disease and concurrent arthritis. Treatments for O-EIMs are outlined and compared in this paper as well.
3%-47%的炎症性肠病(IBD)患者有肠道外表现(EIMs),1.3%-86.9%的 IBD 患者有眼部表现(O-EIMs),使眼睛成为第三大最常见的受影响器官。这些眼部 EIMs 存在于一个范围内,炎症的类型和程度各不相同,如果不进行治疗,可能会导致视力下降,在某些情况下甚至会导致视力丧失。我们对曾被诊断为或后来被诊断为 IBD 患者的 O-EIMs 进行了文献综述,以确定 IBD 常发的眼部 EIMs,并评估哪些 IBD 患者患 O-EIMs 的风险更高。我们还有兴趣确定眼部 EIM 是否在特定人群或特定亚型 IBD 中更为常见。最后,我们探讨了 IBD 患者 O-EIMs 的常见治疗方法。通过查阅文献,我们发现最常见的 O-EIMs 是上巩膜炎和葡萄膜炎。前葡萄膜炎更为常见,但炎症也可能发生在眼球后段,还可能表现为视网膜血管炎。虽然这些诊断有时可以通过回顾性检查得知,但大多数患者表现为非特异性眼部不适,其中最常见的是视力下降,伴有或不伴有疼痛。与眼部 EIMs 相关的视觉症状可能是非特异性的,因此医生应降低门槛,将视觉症状转诊至眼科。重要的是要记住,眼部 EIM 可与皮肤和关节 EIM 聚集在一起。对于患有克罗恩病和并发关节炎的女性患者,应优先进行筛查。本文还概述并比较了眼部 EIMs 的治疗方法。

Cholesterol is an essential component of cellular membranes, crucial for maintaining their structural and functional integrity. It is especially important for nervous tissues, including the retina, which rely on high amounts of plasma membranes for the transmission of the nervous signal. While cholesterol is by far the most abundant sterol, the retina also contains cholesterol precursors and metabolites, especially oxysterols, which are bioactive molecules. Cholesterol lack or excess is deleterious and some oxysterols are known for their effect on neuron survival. Cholesterol homeostasis must therefore be maintained. Retinal glial cells, especially Müller cells, the principal glial cells of the vertebrate retina, provide mechanical, nutritional, and metabolic support for the neighboring neurons. Several pieces of evidence indicate that Müller cells are major actors of cholesterol homeostasis in the retina, as it is known for other glial cells in the brain. This process is based on a close cooperation with neurons, and sterols can be signaling molecules participating in glia-neuron interactions. While some implication of cholesterol in age-related macular degeneration is now recognized, based on epidemiological and laboratory data, evidence for its role in glaucoma is still scarce. The association between cholesterolemia and glaucoma is controversial, but experimental data suggest that sterols could take part in the pathological processes. It has been demonstrated that Müller glial cells are implicated in the development of glaucoma through an ambivalent reactive retinal gliosis process. The early steps contribute to maintaining retinal homeostasis and favor the survival of ganglion cells, which are targeted during glaucoma. If gliosis persists, dysregulation of the neuroprotective functions, cytotoxic effects of gliotic Müller cells and disruption of glia-neuron interactions lead to an acceleration of ganglion cell death. Sterols could play a role in the glial cell response to glaucomatous injury. This represents an understudied but attractive topic to better understand glaucoma and conceive novel preventive or curative strategies. The present review describes the current knowledge on i) sterol metabolism in retinal glial cells, ii) the potential role of cholesterol in glaucoma, and iii) the possible relationships between cholesterol and oxysterols, glial cells and glaucoma. Focus is put on glia-neuron interactions.
胆固醇是细胞膜的重要组成部分,对维持细胞膜的结构和功能完整性至关重要。它对包括视网膜在内的神经组织尤为重要,因为神经信号的传递需要大量的质膜。虽然胆固醇是迄今为止含量最高的固醇,但视网膜中还含有胆固醇前体和代谢产物,尤其是生物活性分子氧基甾醇。胆固醇缺乏或过量都会造成危害,某些氧基甾醇对神经元的存活有影响。因此,必须维持胆固醇的平衡。视网膜胶质细胞,尤其是脊椎动物视网膜的主要胶质细胞--Müller 细胞,为邻近的神经元提供机械、营养和代谢支持。多项证据表明,Müller 细胞是视网膜胆固醇平衡的主要参与者,这与大脑中的其他神经胶质细胞一样。这一过程建立在与神经元密切合作的基础上,固醇可能是参与神经胶质细胞-神经元相互作用的信号分子。根据流行病学和实验室数据,胆固醇对老年性黄斑变性的影响现已得到认可,但胆固醇在青光眼中的作用的证据仍然很少。胆固醇血症与青光眼之间的关系尚存争议,但实验数据表明,固醇可能参与了病理过程。有研究表明,Müller 神经胶质细胞与青光眼的发病有关,是通过一个矛盾的反应性视网膜胶质增生过程发生的。早期步骤有助于维持视网膜的平衡,有利于神经节细胞的存活,而神经节细胞是青光眼的目标。如果神经胶质增生持续存在,神经保护功能失调、神经胶质 Müller 细胞的细胞毒性作用以及神经胶质-神经元相互作用的破坏将导致神经节细胞加速死亡。甾醇可能在神经胶质细胞对青光眼损伤的反应中发挥作用。这是一个研究不足但却很有吸引力的课题,有助于更好地了解青光眼,并构想新的预防或治疗策略。本综述介绍了有关以下方面的现有知识:i) 视网膜胶质细胞中的固醇代谢;ii) 胆固醇在青光眼中的潜在作用;iii) 胆固醇和氧固醇、胶质细胞和青光眼之间的可能关系。重点是神经胶质细胞与神经元之间的相互作用。

Iron overload and chelation modulates bisretinoid levels in the retina 铁超载和螯合调节视网膜中的双维甲酸水平

Iron dysregulation in conjunction with other disease processes may exacerbate retinal degeneration. We employed models of iron overload and iron chelation to explore the interactions between iron-catalyzed oxidation and photoreactive bisretinoid lipofuscin.The mice were injected intravitreally with ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) or were treated using the iron chelator deferiprone (DFP) from birth to 2 months of age. Short-wavelength fundus autofluorescence (SW-AF) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scans were acquired. The bisretinoid levels were quantified using ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and in vivo through quantitative fundus autofluorescence (qAF). In histologic sections, the photoreceptor cell viability was assessed by measuring the thickness of the outer nuclear layer (ONL).The levels of bisretinoids, all-trans-retinal dimers, and A2PE were significantly increased in the FAC-injected eyes of C57BL/6J mice. Seven days after FAC injection, hyperautofluorescent foci were visible in fundus autofluorescence (488 nm) images, and in SD-OCT scans, aberrant hyperreflectivity was present in the outer retina and ONL thinning was observed. In FAC-injected Abca4–/– mice with pronounced RPE bisretinoid lipofuscin accumulation, the hyperautofluorescent puncta were more abundant than in the wild-type mice, and the extent of ONL thinning was greater. Conversely, the intravitreal injection of FAC in Mertk–/– mice led to a more modest increase in A2PE after 2 days. In contrast to the effect of iron accumulation, chelation with DFP resulted in significantly increased levels of A2E and A2-GPE and qAF due to the reduced iron-catalyzed oxidation of bisretinoids. In Mertk–/– mice, the A2E level was significantly lower and the ONL area was smaller than in DFP-treated mice. DFP chelation did not impair the visual cycle in BALB/cJ mice.Iron accumulation was associated with progressive impairment in photoreceptor cells that was associated with the increased formation of a bisretinoid species known to form in photoreceptor outer segments as a precursor to A2E. Additionally, disease features such as the development of hyperautofluorescence puncta in fundus AF images, hyperreflectivity in the outer retina of SD-OCT scans, and ONL thinning were more pronounced when iron was delivered to Abca4–/– mice with a greater propensity for bisretinoid formation. Higher bisretinoid levels and enhanced qAF are indicative of lesser bisretinoid loss due to oxidation.
铁失调与其他疾病过程结合可能会加剧视网膜变性。我们利用铁过载和铁螯合模型来探索铁催化的氧化作用与光活性双视色素脂褐质之间的相互作用。小鼠从出生到2个月大期间,经玻璃体内注射枸橼酸铁铵(FAC)或使用铁螯合剂去铁酮(DFP)进行治疗。研究人员采集了短波长眼底自动荧光(SW-AF)和光谱域光学相干断层扫描(SD-OCT)扫描图像。使用超高效液相色谱法(UPLC)对双维甲酸水平进行量化,并通过定量眼底自动荧光(qAF)对体内双维甲酸水平进行量化。在组织学切片中,通过测量核外层(ONL)的厚度来评估感光细胞的存活率。在注射了 FAC 的 C57BL/6J 小鼠眼中,双视色素、全反式视网膜二聚体和 A2PE 的含量显著增加。注射 FAC 七天后,在眼底自动荧光(488 nm)图像中可见高自荧光灶,在 SD-OCT 扫描中,外层视网膜出现异常高反射,并观察到 ONL 变薄。在注射了 FAC 的 Abca4-/- 小鼠中,RPE 双脂质脂褐素蓄积明显,高自荧光点比野生型小鼠更多,ONL 变薄的程度也更大。相反,在 Mertk-/- 小鼠体内注射 FAC 2 天后,A2PE 的增加幅度较小。与铁蓄积的影响相反,用 DFP 螯合会导致 A2E、A2-GPE 和 qAF 水平显著增加,原因是减少了铁催化的双维甲酸氧化。与 DFP 处理的小鼠相比,Mertk-/- 小鼠的 A2E 水平明显降低,ONL 面积变小。铁的积累与光感受器细胞的渐进性损伤有关,而这种损伤与光感受器外节中作为 A2E 前体的一种已知的双类视黄醇的形成增加有关。此外,当向双视色素形成倾向更强的 Abca4-/- 小鼠输送铁时,疾病特征(如眼底 AF 图像中出现高荧光点、SD-OCT 扫描的外层视网膜出现高反射和 ONL 变薄)更加明显。较高的双视黄醇水平和增强的qAF表明氧化导致的双视黄醇损失较少。

We employed models of iron overload and iron chelation to explore the interactions between iron-catalyzed oxidation and photoreactive bisretinoid lipofuscin.The mice were injected intravitreally with ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) or were treated using the iron chelator deferiprone (DFP) from birth to 2 months of age. Short-wavelength fundus autofluorescence (SW-AF) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scans were acquired. The bisretinoid levels were quantified using ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and in vivo through quantitative fundus autofluorescence (qAF). In histologic sections, the photoreceptor cell viability was assessed by measuring the thickness of the outer nuclear layer (ONL).The levels of bisretinoids, all-trans-retinal dimers, and A2PE were significantly increased in the FAC-injected eyes of C57BL/6J mice. Seven days after FAC injection, hyperautofluorescent foci were visible in fundus autofluorescence (488 nm) images, and in SD-OCT scans, aberrant hyperreflectivity was present in the outer retina and ONL thinning was observed. In FAC-injected Abca4–/– mice with pronounced RPE bisretinoid lipofuscin accumulation, the hyperautofluorescent puncta were more abundant than in the wild-type mice, and the extent of ONL thinning was greater. Conversely, the intravitreal injection of FAC in Mertk–/– mice led to a more modest increase in A2PE after 2 days. In contrast to the effect of iron accumulation, chelation with DFP resulted in significantly increased levels of A2E and A2-GPE and qAF due to the reduced iron-catalyzed oxidation of bisretinoids. In Mertk–/– mice, the A2E level was significantly lower and the ONL area was smaller than in DFP-treated mice. DFP chelation did not impair the visual cycle in BALB/cJ mice.Iron accumulation was associated with progressive impairment in photoreceptor cells that was associated with the increased formation of a bisretinoid species known to form in photoreceptor outer segments as a precursor to A2E.

Antiretroviral therapy has decreased the prevalence of retinal opportunistic infections in people living with HIV (PLWH). However, abnormalities in visual function are evident and may be associated with an early onset of aging in PLWH. In this study, we examined the Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer (RNFL) thickness and visual function in PLWH and HIV non-infected controls in Malaysia.Cross-sectional studyTwo hundred and two (202) PLWH without retinal opportunistic infection and 182 age-matched, HIV seronegative individuals were enrolled. PLWH were recruited from the Infectious Disease clinic at the University Malaya Medical Centre. Controls were recruited among the hospital staff and community volunteers. RNFL thickness was measured with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT). Visual functions include visual acuity using LogMAR chart and contrast sensitivity using Pelli- Robson Chart.All PLWH (mean age 46.1 years ± 9.9 years) in the study were on ART and 61.2% had a CD4+ T-cell count more than 500 cell/μl. The mean visual acuity was similar between the two groups (LogMAR 0.05 vs. 0.07, p = 0.115). Contrast sensitivity was lower in PLWH compared to HIV seronegative individuals (1.90 vs 1.93, p = 0.032). RNFL thickness was significantly thinner in the temporal quadrant for PLWH compared to controls (68.89 μm vs 74.08 μm, p = 0.001).Changes in RNFL thickness and contrast sensitivity were seen in PLWH despite their relatively young age and well controlled HIV disease. The changes reflect structural and functional deficits, and could have long-term implications on their health trajectory.
抗逆转录病毒疗法降低了艾滋病毒感染者(PLWH)视网膜机会性感染的发病率。然而,艾滋病病毒感染者的视觉功能明显出现异常,这可能与艾滋病病毒感染者的早衰有关。在这项研究中,我们检测了马来西亚艾滋病毒感染者和未感染艾滋病毒的对照者的视网膜神经纤维层(RNFL)厚度和视觉功能。感染者是从马来亚大学医疗中心的传染病诊所招募的。对照组从医院员工和社区志愿者中招募。使用光谱域光学相干断层扫描(SDOCT)测量 RNFL 厚度。研究中的所有 PLWH(平均年龄 46.1 岁 ± 9.9 岁)都接受了抗逆转录病毒疗法,61.2% 的 CD4+ T 细胞计数超过 500 cells/μl。两组患者的平均视力相似(LogMAR 0.05 vs. 0.07,p = 0.115)。与 HIV 血清阴性者相比,PLWH 的对比敏感度较低(1.90 vs 1.93,p = 0.032)。与对照组相比,PLWH 患者颞象限的 RNFL 厚度明显变薄(68.89 μm vs 74.08 μm,p = 0.001)。这些变化反映了结构性和功能性缺陷,可能会对他们的健康轨迹产生长期影响。

The purpose of the study was to present a rare case of pediatric bilateral optic neuropathy and retinopathy, which was consistent with a diagnosis of autoimmune retinopathy. We also reviewed the most current literature and phenotypes associated with reported pediatric cases of autoimmune retinopathy.The design of the study was a case report, with a retrospective case series literature review.This study incorporated data from six subjects, with one presenting as an original case report and five being identified from the English-language literature published to date.The materials and methods involved a descriptive analysis of fundus findings, electrophysiologic testing, serum autoantibody testing, optical coherence tomography (OCT), brain MRI scanning, and fluorescein angiography, which were performed where available.The study evaluated the clinical presentation and treatment outcomes of all subjects and followed their visual function over time.All six subjects had retinal abnormalities that were documented on imaging, while five out of the six subjects had optic nerve abnormalities. Electrophysiologic testing was performed on three subjects, all of whom recorded abnormal results. An underlying neoplastic disorder was described for four subjects. Serum autoantibody testing results were available for four subjects. The serum testing included using antibodies against a 22-kDa antigen, a 35-kDa optic nerve-derived antigen, a 62-kDa antigen, enolase, recoverin, tubulin, and pyruvate kinase M2. Our subject presented 12 years after resection of a ganglioglioma with asymmetric bilateral vision loss, disc edema in one eye, advanced disc pallor in the fellow eye, and bilateral subtle retinal infiltrates, despite having a normal fluorescein angiogram. OCT demonstrated asymmetric ganglion cell layer thinning, which is consistent with the vision loss. Our subject also had abnormal brain MRI findings of widespread pachymeningeal enhancement, but he had a normal cerebrospinal fluid composition. He was initially treated with high-dose pulse steroids, followed by intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. He experienced partial visual recovery in both eyes.Pediatric autoimmune retinopathy and optic neuropathy are rare diseases that can present with unique signs and symptoms. In pediatric patients who present with symptoms of subacute progressive vision loss with negative inflammatory workups, a history of prior neoplasm, and/or clinical findings of progressive retinopathy or optic neuropathy, an autoimmune process should be considered in the differential.
本研究旨在介绍一例罕见的小儿双侧视神经病变和视网膜病变病例,该病例符合自身免疫性视网膜病变的诊断。我们还回顾了最新的文献以及与所报道的小儿自身免疫性视网膜病变病例相关的表型。该研究的设计是一份病例报告,并对病例系列进行了回顾性文献综述。该研究纳入了六名受试者的数据,其中一名受试者为原始病例报告,五名受试者是从迄今为止发表的英文文献中确定的。材料和方法包括对眼底检查结果、电生理检测、血清自身抗体检测、光学相干断层扫描(OCT)、脑磁共振成像扫描和荧光素血管造影(如有)的描述性分析。对三名受试者进行了电生理测试,结果均显示异常。四名受试者患有潜在的肿瘤性疾病。四名受试者的血清自身抗体检测结果可用。血清检测包括使用针对 22 kDa 抗原、35 kDa 视神经衍生抗原、62 kDa 抗原、烯醇化酶、复原素、小管蛋白和丙酮酸激酶 M2 的抗体。我们的受试者在切除神经节胶质瘤 12 年后出现双侧视力不对称下降,一只眼睛出现视盘水肿,另一只眼睛视盘晚期苍白,双侧视网膜出现细微浸润,尽管荧光素血管造影正常。OCT 显示不对称的神经节细胞层变薄,这与视力下降相符。我们的研究对象也有异常的脑磁共振成像结果,即广泛的蛛网膜强化,但他的脑脊液成分正常。他最初接受了大剂量脉冲类固醇治疗,随后又接受了静脉注射免疫球蛋白治疗。小儿自身免疫性视网膜病变和视神经病变是一种罕见疾病,可表现出独特的症状和体征。小儿自身免疫性视网膜病变和视神经病变是一种罕见的疾病,可表现出独特的症状。如果小儿患者出现亚急性进行性视力减退症状,但炎症检查阴性、既往有肿瘤病史和/或临床发现进行性视网膜病变或视神经病变,则应在鉴别诊断中考虑自身免疫过程。

To assess the risk for uveitis, pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME), and posterior capsular opacification (PCO) associated with the use of pupil expansion devices in cataract surgery.A retrospective comparative cohort study.Patients who underwent routine cataract surgery with and without pupil expansion devices at the Department of Ophthalmology, Bristol Eye Hospital, UK, between January 2008 and December 2017.This study included 39,460 eyes operated without a pupil expansion device and 699 eyes operated with the device. Odds ratios for uveitis and PCME when using a pupil expansion device were calculated using univariate and multivariate regression analysis, having age, gender, diabetes, pseudoexfoliation, and pupil expansion device as independent variables. Multivariate Cox regression controlling for age and gender was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) for Nd : YAG laser capsulotomies.Postoperative uveitis and PCME were reported in 3.9% and 2.7% of the eyes operated with a pupil expansion device compared to 2.3% and 1.3% operated without the device (p=0.005 and p=0.002, respectively). In univariate regression analysis, eyes with pupil expansion devices showed a higher risk of postoperative uveitis or PMCE after cataract surgery (OR 1.88, 95%CI 1.39-2.55, p<0.001). In multivariate regression analysis, the risk for PMCE was greater among diabetic patients and in eyes with a pupil expansion device than in those without (OR 1.50, 95%CI 1.24-1.83, P<0.001; OR 1.90, 95%CI 1.16-3.11, P=0.01). In Cox regression analysis adjusted for the patient’s age and gender, the use of a pupil expansion device was associated with higher Nd : YAG laser capsulotomy rates (HR 1.316, 95%CI 1.011-1.714, P=0.041).In our large cohort study, the use of pupil expansion devices in cataract surgery was associated with an increased risk of major postoperative complications. Effective anti-inflammatory treatment and follow-up are warranted in eyes operated with a pupil expansion device.
目的:评估白内障手术中使用瞳孔扩大装置导致葡萄膜炎、假性囊样黄斑水肿(PCME)和后囊不透明(PCO)的风险。研究对象为 2008 年 1 月至 2017 年 12 月期间在英国布里斯托尔眼科医院眼科接受常规白内障手术的患者,包括使用和未使用瞳孔扩大装置的 39460 只眼睛和使用瞳孔扩大装置的 699 只眼睛。以年龄、性别、糖尿病、假性角膜外翻和瞳孔扩张装置为自变量,使用单变量和多变量回归分析计算了使用瞳孔扩张装置时葡萄膜炎和PCME的风险比。使用瞳孔扩大装置进行手术的患者中,分别有 3.9% 和 2.7% 患有术后葡萄膜炎和 PCME,而未使用瞳孔扩大装置进行手术的患者中,分别有 2.3% 和 1.3% 患有术后葡萄膜炎和 PCME(分别为 p=0.005 和 p=0.002),而使用瞳孔扩大装置进行手术的患者中,分别有 3.9% 和 2.7% 患有术后葡萄膜炎和 PCME,而未使用瞳孔扩大装置进行手术的患者中,分别有 2.3% 和 1.3% 患有术后葡萄膜炎和 PCME(分别为 p=0.005 和 p=0.002)。在单变量回归分析中,使用扩瞳装置的眼睛在白内障手术后发生葡萄膜炎或 PMCE 的风险更高(OR 1.88,95%CI 1.39-2.55,p<0.001)。在多变量回归分析中,糖尿病患者和装有瞳孔扩大装置的眼睛发生 PMCE 的风险高于未装瞳孔扩大装置的眼睛(OR 1.50,95%CI 1.24-1.83,P<0.001;OR 1.90,95%CI 1.16-3.11,P=0.01)。在我们的大型队列研究中,白内障手术中使用瞳孔扩大装置与术后主要并发症的风险增加有关。在我们的大型队列研究中,在白内障手术中使用瞳孔扩大装置与术后主要并发症的风险增加有关。对于使用瞳孔扩大装置进行手术的眼睛,需要进行有效的抗炎治疗和随访。

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is an immune-mediated disorder associated with a heterogenous array of manifestations that may unfavorably impact vision and quality of life. As understanding of this entity’s complex pathogenesis has evolved, so have therapies with novel molecular targets offering promise for improved patient outcomes.Emerging immunologic therapies for the management of thyroid eye disease have diverse mechanisms of actions and routes of administration. Different conventional and biological immunosuppressive agents have been studied as mediators of the autoimmune and autoinflammatory pathways in thyroid eye disease. Teprotumumab – an anti-IGF-1R monoclonal antibody that has recently emerged as a first-line therapy for active, moderate-to-severe TED – has demonstrated statistically significant improvements in proptosis, diplopia, clinical activity score, and quality of life compared to placebo. Currently under investigation are several other agents, with varying administration modalities, that aim to inhibit IGF-1R: VRDN-001 (intravenous), VRDN-002 or VRDN-003 (subcutaneous), lonigutamab (subcutaneous), and linsitinib (oral). Tocilizumab, a monoclonal antibody of interleukin 6, has played a role in the management of multiple autoimmune and inflammatory conditions and may offer promise in TED. Another incipient biologic target for TED management is the neonatal Fc receptor, inhibition of which has potential to decrease recycling of immunoglobulin and antibody levels; agents addressing this target including monoclonal antibodies as well as antibody fragments. Finally, hypolipidemic agents may play a role as mediators of TED-associated inflammation.Among the agents under investigation that aim to decrease ocular morbidity associated with TED are agents that IGF-1R, interleukin 6, and the neonatal Fc receptor. The management of TED continues to expand with novel immunologic approaches for disease therapy.
甲状腺眼病(TED)是一种免疫介导的疾病,具有一系列不同的表现,可能对视力和生活质量产生不利影响。随着人们对这种疾病复杂发病机理认识的不断深入,具有新分子靶点的疗法也在不断发展,为改善患者预后带来了希望。作为甲状腺眼病自身免疫和自身炎症途径的介质,不同的传统和生物免疫抑制剂已被研究。特普鲁单抗是一种抗IGF-1R单克隆抗体,最近已成为活动性中重度TED的一线疗法,与安慰剂相比,该药在突眼、复视、临床活动评分和生活质量方面均有统计学意义的显著改善。目前正在研究的其他几种旨在抑制 IGF-1R 的药物具有不同的给药方式:VRDN-001(静脉注射)、VRDN-002 或 VRDN-003(皮下注射)、lonigutamab(皮下注射)和 linsitinib(口服)。Tocilizumab是一种白细胞介素6单克隆抗体,在治疗多种自身免疫性和炎症性疾病中发挥了作用,可能有望用于治疗TED。治疗 TED 的另一个新生物靶点是新生儿 Fc 受体,抑制该受体有可能降低免疫球蛋白的循环和抗体水平;针对这一靶点的药物包括单克隆抗体和抗体片段。最后,降血脂药物可能是 TED 相关炎症的介质。目前正在研究的旨在降低 TED 相关眼部发病率的药物包括 IGF-1R、白细胞介素 6 和新生儿 Fc 受体。随着新型免疫学方法的出现,TED 的治疗范围也在不断扩大。

Teprotumumab – an anti-IGF-1R monoclonal antibody that has recently emerged as a first-line therapy for active, moderate-to-severe TED – has demonstrated statistically significant improvements in proptosis, diplopia, clinical activity score, and quality of life compared to placebo. Currently under investigation are several other agents, with varying administration modalities, that aim to inhibit IGF-1R: VRDN-001 (intravenous), VRDN-002 or VRDN-003 (subcutaneous), lonigutamab (subcutaneous), and linsitinib (oral). Tocilizumab, a monoclonal antibody of interleukin 6, has played a role in the management of multiple autoimmune and inflammatory conditions and may offer promise in TED. Another incipient biologic target for TED management is the neonatal Fc receptor, inhibition of which has potential to decrease recycling of immunoglobulin and antibody levels; agents addressing this target including monoclonal antibodies as well as antibody fragments. Finally, hypolipidemic agents may play a role as mediators of TED-associated inflammation.Among the agents under investigation that aim to decrease ocular morbidity associated with TED are agents that IGF-1R, interleukin 6, and the neonatal Fc receptor. The management of TED continues to expand with novel immunologic approaches for disease therapy.","PeriodicalId":73096,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in ophthalmology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139009675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
