<div><h3>Purpose</h3><div>Drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment (dPED) is a notable phenotype in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), often evolving into macular complications such as macular neovascularization (MNV) and geographic atrophy (GA). The aim of this study was to identify potential prognostic biomarkers associated with the development of both MNV and GA.</div></div><div><h3>Design</h3><div>A retrospective cohort study.</div></div><div><h3>Participants</h3><div>Patients with dPED in the setting of AMD.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This observational study analyzed OCT biomarkers to assess the dPED lifecycle and identify features predictive of macular complications. Seventy-one eyes with dPED from 51 patients were reviewed over an average follow-up of 37.5 ± 17.6 months (range: 24–104), examining structural alterations via multimodal imaging, which included color fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, and OCT, while fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, or both were performed as needed. Associations between baseline biomarkers and macular complications were assessed using Cox proportional hazard models with a frailty term to account for intereye correlation. The Fine–Gray model was used to account for competing risk analysis.</div></div><div><h3>Main Outcome Measures</h3><div>Incidence and time to development of macular complications (MNV and GA) and their associations with baseline OCT biomarkers (cuticular drusen, hyperreflective foci, external limiting membrane/ellipsoid zone integrity, and retinal pigment epithelium [RPE] hypertransmission), modeled with frailty-adjusted Cox proportional hazards and Fine–Gray competing risks; secondary measures included dPED lifecycle features (collapse, timing) and morphometrics (height, width, volume).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Key findings included a 39.4% incidence of dPED collapse, with 60.7% of cases progressing to complications postcollapse. In the multivariable Cox proportional model, cuticular drusen (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.8, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.62–9.2, <em>P</em> = 0.002) and the presence of hyperreflective foci (HRF) at baseline (HR: 6.6, 95% CI: 1.97–22, <em>P</em> = 0.02) represented the main prognostic indicators of macular complications. In the Fine–Gray competing risks analysis, cuticular drusen remained a significant independent predictor (subdistribution hazard ratio [sHR] = 18.1, 95% CI: 1.89–174, <em>P</em> = 0.01) of MNV development, while HRF (sHR = 6.69, 95% CI: 1.98–22.61, <em>P</em> = 0.002) and external limiting membrane disruption at baseline (sHR = 3.69, 95% CI: 1.03–13.14, <em>P</em> = 0.044) were factors significantly associated with increased GA risk.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>These results underscore the prognostic relevance of specific imaging biomarkers in dPED.

目的类德鲁素上皮脱离(dPED)是年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)的一个显著表型,常演变为黄斑新生血管(MNV)和地理萎缩(GA)等黄斑并发症。本研究的目的是确定与MNV和GA发展相关的潜在预后生物标志物。设计:回顾性队列研究。参与者AMD背景下的dPED患者。方法本观察性研究分析OCT生物标志物来评估dPED的生命周期,并确定预测黄斑并发症的特征。在平均37.5±17.6个月(范围:24-104)的随访期间,对51例dPED患者的71只眼进行了检查,通过多模式成像检查结构改变,包括彩色眼底摄影、眼底自身荧光和OCT,同时根据需要进行荧光素血管造影、吲哚菁绿血管造影或两者兼用。基线生物标志物与黄斑并发症之间的关联使用Cox比例风险模型进行评估,该模型带有一个脆弱项来解释眼间相关性。采用Fine-Gray模型进行竞争风险分析。主要结局指标:黄斑并发症(MNV和GA)的发生率和发展时间及其与基线OCT生物标志物(角质层水肿、高反射灶、外限制膜/椭球带完整性和视网膜色素上皮[RPE]超透射)的关系,采用脆性调整Cox比例风险和Fine-Gray竞争风险建模;次要测量包括dPED生命周期特征(折叠、定时)和形态测量(高度、宽度、体积)。结果dPED塌陷发生率为39.4%,塌陷后并发症发生率为60.7%。在多变量Cox比例模型中,角质层水肿(风险比[HR]: 3.8, 95%可信区间[CI]: 1.62 ~ 9.2, P = 0.002)和基线时是否存在高反射灶(HRF)(风险比:6.6,95% CI: 1.97 ~ 22, P = 0.02)是黄斑并发症的主要预后指标。在细灰色竞争风险分析中,角质层塌陷仍然是MNV发展的重要独立预测因子(亚分布风险比[sHR] = 18.1, 95% CI: 1.89-174, P = 0.01),而HRF (sHR = 6.69, 95% CI: 1.98-22.61, P = 0.002)和基线时外限制性膜破裂(sHR = 3.69, 95% CI: 1.03-13.14, P = 0.044)是与GA风险增加显著相关的因素。结论这些结果强调了特异性成像生物标志物与dPED预后的相关性。早期识别这些特征可能有助于及时治疗,并有助于防止不可逆的感光器和RPE损伤。财务披露专有或商业披露可在本文末尾的脚注和披露中找到。

目的利用基于人工智能的OCT指标识别糖尿病黄斑水肿(DME)的潜在表型亚组,并评估抗vegf和地塞米松(DEX)治疗在这些表型簇中的治疗反应是否存在差异。方法回顾性研究treatment-naïve DME患者114眼(82例)。定量OCT指标,包括视网膜内液(IRF)和视网膜下液体积,IRF %在中心0 - 1,1 - 3和3-6 mm内的分布,高反射灶计数和椭球区(EZ) %破坏,分析治疗前后。主要结果测量采用高斯有限混合模型来识别不同的DME亚组。使用线性和广义线性混合效应模型分析抗vegf或DEX治疗后视力(VA)和OCT参数的变化,并应用错误发现率校正来解释多重比较。结果鉴定出3个DME表型集群,每个集群都具有不同的结构和功能特征:集群1(29%,95%可信区间[CI]: 20.0% ~ 38.4%),其特征是局部中心IRF(平均0.34 mm3, 0-1 mm区域32%),中度结构损伤(EZ破坏:13%),较好的VA(最小分辨角的平均对数[LogMAR] 0.29);集群2 (49%,95% CI: 39.6%-57.9%),弥漫性IRF(60%在3-6 mm区域),IRF体积最高(平均:3.33 mm3),显著的结构破坏(EZ破坏:46%),最差的VA(平均LogMAR: 0.63);集群3 (22%,95% CI: 13.9%-31.2%),显示中等流体水平和最小结构损伤(EZ破坏:0.5%)。抗vegf治疗导致第2组VA改善最大(-31.5%,标准差:28.6)。两两对比显示,在第1类(-26.6%,95% CI: -64.7至11.6)和第3类(-12.4%,95% CI: -58.2至33.4)中,DEX和anti-VEGF的VA无显著差异,尽管效果方向显示DEX有更大改善的趋势。相比之下,集群2显示抗vegf无显著差异(+25.0%,95% CI: -4.6至54.6)。对于中心子野厚度,DEX在第3类中比抗vegf显著降低(-20.9%,95% CI: -37.0至-4.9),并且还与第3类中外周IRF分布的相对增加(+26.7%,95% CI: 6.5至46.9)相关,支持表型依赖性治疗效果。结论DME表现的潜在异质性可能影响治疗效果。人工智能衍生的光谱域OCT指标可以支持量身定制的治疗方法,以优化患者的结果。财务披露专有或商业披露可在本文末尾的脚注和披露中找到。

Purpose

To investigate the prevalence and types of artifacts in OCT angiography (OCTA) among patients with different glaucoma severities.

Design

Prospective cross-sectional study.

Subjects

Patients with open-angle glaucoma from a tertiary center were prospectively categorized into mild (mean deviation [MD] of 24-2 visual field ≥ –6 decibels [dB]), moderate (–6 to ≥ –12 dB), advanced (–12 to ≥ –20 dB), and severe glaucoma group (MD < –20 dB).

Methods

AngioVue OCTA was performed three times within a single visit to obtain superficial and deep macular vessel density (VD) with 3 x 3–mm macular scans, and peripapillary VD with 4.5 x 4.5–mm scans centered on the optic disc. The intrasession variability was assessed by the coefficient of variation (CoV). Different types of image artifacts were identified.

Main Outcome Measures

The prevalence of artifacts in patients with varying glaucoma severities, patient-related factors associated with artifact occurrence, and their impact on scan quality index (SQI) and variability of OCTA parameters.

Results

Among the 57 mild, 46 moderate, 46 advanced, and 39 severe glaucoma eyes, half of OCTA images exhibited artifacts. Their prevalence increased from 30% in mild to 67% in severe glaucoma (P < 0.001) for peripapillary scans and from 39% to 62% (P = 0.001) for macular scans. Defocus was the most common artifact (26%) and increased with worsening MD (P = 0.006), contributing to greater CoV of superficial (P = 0.043) and deep (P = 0.024) macular VD and reduced macular SQI (P = 0.018). Peripapillary scans were more affected by artifacts, with defocus (P < 0.001) and eye movement (P = 0.025) increasing as MD worsened, which reduced the peripapillary SQI (P = 0.003 and P < 0.001, respectively). Lower SQI (P < 0.001), eye movement (P = 0.042), and quilt (P = 0.047) were linked to greater CoV of peripapillary VD.

Conclusions

Defocus is the most common OCTA artifact in glaucoma patients, increasing variability in OCTA metrics. Its prevalence rises with glaucoma severity and remains high even in scans with acceptable image quality, emphasizing the need for careful artifact assessment.

目的探讨不同程度青光眼患者OCT血管造影(OCTA)伪影的发生率及类型。前瞻性横断面研究。受试者:三级中心开角型青光眼患者前瞻性分为轻度(24-2视野平均偏差[MD]≥-6分贝[dB])、中度(-6 ~≥-12分贝)、晚期(-12 ~≥-20分贝)和重度青光眼组(MD <; -20分贝)。方法在单次访问中进行三次sangiovue OCTA,以3 x 3 - mm黄斑扫描获得浅部和深层黄斑血管密度(VD),并以视盘为中心进行4.5 x 4.5 mm扫描获得乳头周围VD。用变异系数(CoV)评价种内变异。识别了不同类型的图像伪影。主要观察指标:不同青光眼严重程度患者的伪影发生率、与伪影发生相关的患者相关因素及其对扫描质量指数(SQI)和OCTA参数变异性的影响。结果轻度青光眼57只,中度青光眼46只,晚期青光眼46只,重度青光眼39只,其中一半的OCTA图像出现伪影。在乳头周围扫描中,轻度青光眼的患病率从30%增加到重度青光眼的67% (P < 0.001),黄斑扫描的患病率从39%增加到62% (P = 0.001)。散焦是最常见的伪影(26%),并随着MD的恶化而增加(P = 0.006),导致浅部(P = 0.043)和深层(P = 0.024)黄斑VD的CoV增加,黄斑SQI降低(P = 0.018)。乳头周围扫描受伪影影响更大,随着MD恶化,散焦(P < 0.001)和眼动(P = 0.025)增加,从而降低了乳头周围SQI (P = 0.003和P <; 0.001)。较低的SQI (P < 0.001)、眼球运动(P = 0.042)和被子(P = 0.047)与较大的冠状动脉周围VD相关。结论离焦是青光眼患者最常见的OCTA伪影,增加了OCTA指标的可变性。它的患病率随着青光眼的严重程度而上升,即使在可接受的图像质量扫描中仍然很高,强调需要仔细的伪影评估。作者在本文中讨论的任何材料中没有专有或商业利益。

Purpose

To perform a longitudinal analysis of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients.

Design

A retrospective, longitudinal study.

Subjects

We enrolled patients diagnosed with RP and normal controls.

Methods

After the baseline visit, 3 additional measurements of pRNFL thickness at 1-year intervals were analyzed.

Main Outcome Measures

Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness.

Results

In total, 142 eyes were included in the study: 72 in the RP group and 70 in the control group. Global pRNFL thicknesses were 89.3 ± 38.9, 86.5 ± 35.2, 84.6 ± 31.8, and 81.6 ± 31.3 μm at baseline, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years in the RP group (P = 0.022), and 100.9 ± 6.3, 100.8 ± 7.0, 100.0 ± 6.3, and 100.3 ± 6.9 μm in the control group ( = 0.079), respectively. The reduction rate of pRNFL thickness was –2.45 μm/y in the RP group and –0.25 μm/y in the control group. In multivariate analysis, age (estimate = –0.55, P = 0.021) and RP stage (estimate = –15.42, P = 0.005) were significant factors associated with changes in pRNFL thickness in RP patients.

Conclusions

Retinitis pigmentosa patients exhibited a thinner pRNFL and a faster rate of thinning over time compared with healthy controls. In RP patients, pRNFL thinning was significantly associated with age and disease stage, possibly reflecting accelerated damage with disease progression.

Purpose

To assess the efficacy and safety of orally administered calpain inhibitor SJP-0008 in Japanese patients with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), to establish a disease registry for the prospective tracking of observational data from patients with CRAO, intended for regulatory use, and to support the development of new therapeutic agents for CRAO.

Design

This was a 2-part study. Part 1 was a physician-/investigator-initiated, phase IIa, single-center, randomized, double-blinded, parallel-group study. Part 2 was a prospective cohort study, during which the CRAO registry was established, and included patients diagnosed with CRAO (including a nonrandomized registry cohort, the non-SJP group, which did not receive SJP-0008). Additionally, in part 2, a combined analysis was performed using data from part 1 patients.

Participants

The study participants were patients recruited within 48 hours of developing CRAO.

Methods

SJP-0008 administration was initiated at least 3 hours but no more than 48 hours after the onset of CRAO. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio using masked randomization to receive either 100-mg or 200-mg doses of SJP-0008. The dosing period was defined as the 4-week postinitiation period (up to 29 days), followed by an 8-week postobservation phase.

Main Outcome Measures

The main outcome measure was to determine the efficacy of SJP-0008 treatment; the primary endpoint was the change in ETDRS visual acuity at 12 weeks in the target eye of patients with CRAO.

Results

The study included 28 patients (mean age: 68.8 ± 14.9 years; 78.6% male). ETDRS scores (mean [95% confidence interval]) were higher at week 12 than at baseline in both the 100-mg (27.9 letters [10.14, 45.61]) and 200-mg (25.7 letters [12.02, 39.40]) SJP-0008 groups, in contrast to the non-SJP group (10.2 letters [4.58, 15.76]). The improvement in the 200-mg SJP-0008 group was greater than in the nonrandomized non-SJP group (P = 0.040). No safety concerns were identified.

Conclusions

The preliminary study supports the safety and efficacy of oral administration of SJP-0008 for treating CRAO, with greater improvement compared with the nonrandomized registry cohort. However, large-scale, multicenter randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate the findings of this study.

Objective

To predict lapses in diabetic retinopathy (DR) care.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Subjects

Adults ≥18 years with diabetes seen at the Wilmer Eye Institute for DR screening or treatment between 2012 and 2022.

Main Outcome Measures

Whether an office visit for DR screening or treatment was followed by a lapse in care.

Methods

Three versions of prediction algorithms were constructed using random forests (RFs). XGBoost (XGB) was used as a confirmatory analysis. Random forest-A and XGB-A included electronic health record (EHR) variables alone (e.g., sociodemographic, insurance, ophthalmic diagnoses, lead time, and recommended follow-up time). Random forest-B and XGB-B added location-based social determinants of health (SDoH) variables (e.g., Area Deprivation Index). Random forest-C and XGB-C added history of lapses in care (e.g., whether the patient has ever had lapses in care before). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and the area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) were calculated for each algorithm.

Results

A total of 36 995 patients (mean age 62 years, 53% female, 47% non-Hispanic White, 38% non-Hispanic Black, and 4% Hispanic) and 141 930 office visits were included. The best performing model was RF-C with an AUROC of 0.774 (0.772–0.776) and AUPRC of 0.707 (0.704–0.711), outperforming RF-A and RF-B in AUROC and AUPRC (P < 0.001 for each comparison). XGB-C similarly outperformed XGB-A and XGB-B (P < 0.001 for each comparison).

Conclusions

We developed RF algorithms, as well as XGB confirmatory models, to predict whether patients with diabetes will experience a lapse in DR care. The best prediction was achieved using EHR variables, location-based SDoH variables, and history of lapses in care. These models offer the opportunity to identify high-risk patients and offer additional resources to reduce lapses in care and potentially vision loss from DR.

目的预测糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)护理失误。设计回顾性队列研究。研究对象:2012年至2022年间在Wilmer眼科研究所接受DR筛查或治疗的成人≥18岁糖尿病患者。主要结果测量:是否因DR筛查或治疗而就诊后出现护理失误。方法采用随机森林(RFs)构建了3种不同版本的预测算法。采用XGBoost (XGB)作为验证性分析。随机森林- a和XGB-A仅包括电子健康记录(EHR)变量(例如,社会人口统计学、保险、眼科诊断、交货时间和建议随访时间)。随机森林-b和XGB-B增加了基于位置的健康社会决定因素(SDoH)变量(例如,区域剥夺指数)。随机森林- c和XGB-C增加了护理疏忽史(例如,患者以前是否有过护理疏忽)。计算了每种算法的接收者工作特征曲线下面积(AUROC)和精确召回率曲线下面积(AUPRC)。结果共纳入36995例患者(平均年龄62岁,女性53%,非西班牙裔白人47%,非西班牙裔黑人38%,西班牙裔4%)和14930次门诊就诊。表现最好的模型是RF-C, AUROC为0.774 (0.772-0.776),AUPRC为0.707(0.704-0.711),在AUROC和AUPRC方面优于RF-A和RF-B (P < 0.001)。XGB-C同样优于XGB-A和XGB-B(每次比较P <; 0.001)。我们开发了RF算法和XGB验证模型,以预测糖尿病患者是否会经历DR护理的失误。使用EHR变量、基于位置的SDoH变量和护理失误史可以实现最佳预测。这些模型提供了识别高风险患者的机会,并提供了额外的资源,以减少护理失误和潜在的dr视力丧失。财务披露专有或商业披露可在本文末尾的脚注和披露中找到。

Purpose

Ocular toxoplasmosis, caused by infection with Toxoplasma gondii, is characterized by retinal necrosis and reactive intraocular inflammation. Müller glial cells are a principal retinal host cell population for T. gondii. The goal of this research was to delineate potential involvements of Müller glial cells in ocular toxoplasmosis at a molecular level.

Design

Laboratory-based study.

Samples

Human retinal Müller glial cells infected with T. gondii plus noninfected cells.

Methods

Monolayers of Müller glial cells isolated from human retina (6 donor eye pairs) were infected for 24 hours with GT1 or GPHT strain T. gondii tachyzoites (multiplicity of infection of 5), or incubated in parallel without infection. Total RNA and small RNA were extracted from cell monolayers, sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 and NextSeq 550 platforms, respectively, and aligned to GRCh38. Transcriptomic responses to infection with each strain were compared for differential expression (false discovery rate <5% and twofold change). These data were interrogated for enrichment of Reactome and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways, and Gene Ontology in InnateDB; putative transcription factor binding sites in HOMER; and potential microRNA–mRNA interactions in multiMiR.

Main Outcome Measures

Total and small RNA transcriptomes.

Results

6.3% of total RNA and 2.4% of small RNA changed in GT1-infected cells (582 upregulated and 210 downregulated transcripts and 20 upregulated microRNAs) versus 4.3% of total RNA and 1.5% of small RNA in GPHT-infected cells (400 upregulated and 137 downregulated transcripts and 12 upregulated microRNAs). Seventy-six transcripts and 4 microRNAs were different between strains; most were increased by both, but GT1 induced higher levels than GPHT. Enriched pathways and ontologies were dominated by DNA replication and intracellular metabolic activities, and the immune response for GT1 and GPHT. Seven of 8 transcription factor binding sites were shared for GT1 and GPHT infections, all overexpressed, including sites for p65/RELA and E2F family members. Across the strains, miR-18a-5p was the most connected microRNA in predicted mRNA target networks.

Conclusions

This work demonstrates that human retinal Müller glial cells shift to a proliferative and inflammatory phenotype when infected with T. gondii tachyzoites, consistent with a central role in the characteristic pathology of ocular toxoplasmosis.

目的眼弓形虫病是由刚地弓形虫感染引起的,以视网膜坏死和反应性眼内炎症为特征。神经胶质细胞是弓形虫的主要视网膜宿主细胞群。本研究的目的是在分子水平上描述眼弓形虫病中神经胶质细胞的潜在参与。DesignLaboratory-based研究。感染弓形虫的人视网膜神经胶质细胞和未感染的细胞。方法用GT1或GPHT型刚地弓形虫速殖子(感染次数为5次)感染人视网膜(6对供体眼)的层状神经胶质细胞24 h,或平行孵育不感染。从细胞单层中提取总RNA和小RNA,分别在Illumina NovaSeq 6000和NextSeq 550平台上测序,并与GRCh38对齐。比较了每种菌株对感染的转录组学反应的差异表达(错误发现率<;5%和两倍变化)。对这些数据进行了查询,以丰富Reactome和京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG)途径,以及InnateDB中的基因本体;HOMER中假定的转录因子结合位点;以及在multiMiR中潜在的microRNA-mRNA相互作用。结果gt1感染细胞中6.3%的总RNA和2.4%的小RNA发生了变化(582个转录本上调,210个转录本下调,20个微RNA上调),而gpht感染细胞中4.3%的总RNA和1.5%的小RNA发生了变化(400个转录本上调,137个转录本下调,12个微RNA上调)。菌株间有76个转录本和4个microrna存在差异;两者均可使大多数细胞的表达增加,但GT1诱导的水平高于GPHT。富集的途径和本体主要是DNA复制和细胞内代谢活动,以及对GT1和GPHT的免疫应答。GT1和GPHT感染共有8个转录因子结合位点,其中7个位点均过表达,包括p65/RELA和E2F家族成员位点。在所有菌株中,miR-18a-5p是预测的mRNA靶网络中连接最紧密的microRNA。结论:本研究表明,人视网膜神经胶质细胞在感染弓形虫速殖子后转变为增殖性和炎性表型,这与眼弓形虫病的特征性病理中所起的核心作用一致。财务披露专有或商业披露可在本文末尾的脚注和披露中找到。
