    Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), a common blinding disease, is a maternally inherited degeneration of the optic nerve caused by point mutations of mitochondrial DNA. Complex I dysfunction, reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction, and cell apoptosis are the hypothesis of biochemical mechanism in LHON. Gene therapy is the ideal treatment for the disease. So far, the gene therapies used include allotropic expressing, transfecting with wild gene, and transfecting with antioxidant gene and so on. However, further investigation has to be done before clinical trials.

    【Abstract】There is no effective clinical treatments for  retinal nerve degenerative disease. Recent studies demonstrate that retinal Müller cells expressed neural stem cell markers including SOX2, PAX6, CHX10,NOTCH1 and βIII tubulin, as well as various markers of postmitotic retinal neurons, including PKC (a marker of bipolar cells), peripherin (a marker of photoreceptor cells), HuD and Brn3 (markers of ganglion cells), neurofilament protein (a marker of ganglion, amacrine, and horizontal cells), and calretinin (a marker of ganglion, amacrine, and horizontal cells). These studies demonstrated that Müller cells exhibit progenitor characteristics and can differentiate to various retinal neurons, and suggested that Müller cells may have the potential for cellbased therapies for retinal nerve degenerative disease.  (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2013, 37: 123-128)

    The dysphotopsia is the common complication after intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, which includes positive dysphotopsia and negative dysphotopsia. After IOL implantation the light from outside generates bright images on the retina. This is called positive dysphotopsia. The negative dysphotopsia is that the blind spot and shadow on the retina after IOL implantation because of the photorefraction through the square edge of the IOL. The posterior capsular opacification, the material and the edge design of the  IOL,  the diameter of IOL optical component, the position of incision and the irisoptic distance are the important influential factors that cause the dysphotopsia. Some patients after IOL implantation suffer from dysphotopsia. It effects their qualities of life. In this article, the reasons, influential factors,  treatment  and the newly developed examination methods of the dysphotopsia were reviewed.

    Enhanced depth imaging spectral domain optical coherence tomography (EDI SD-OCT), based on the improvement of traditional frequency domain OCT, is a new technology used to reflect the structure of the choroid. The images are obtained by positioning the SD-OCT device close enough to the eye to present an inverted representation of the fundus, and also can quantitatively measure the choroidal thickness. So far studies about this technology are focused on the changes of the choroidal thickness. By measuring the choroidal thickness, EDI SD-OCT can not only be used to explore the pathogenesis of the diseases such as high myopia, age-related macular degeneration, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, etc, but also be used to differentiate age-related macular degeneration, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, a variety number of choroidal tumors, etc. In addition, EDI SD-OCT can be used to observe the treatment effect such as choroidal neovascularization and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada.

    Presbyopia is the physical defect which every human being will be affected with as the accommodation decreases with age and therefore working at close range may be difficult. The well accepted reason for presbyopia is the agerelated hardening of crystalline lens, decreased flexibility and deformability as well as a loss of the accommodative power. As a possible treatment option, femtosecond laser is a promising tool to make microcuts inside the lens to creat gliding planes at desired depth and shape via the effect of laserinduced optical breakdown, hence the flexibility and deformability of the tissue is supposed to be reestablished and the potential adjustment power may be reconstructed dynamically as a result. Several reasearches have verified the therapeutic effect, effectiveness and safety of this innovative technology. Still, certain problems remain untackled. The purpose of this review is to outline the theoretical basis, experimental study, effect and the problems faced to discuss this evolving technology in presbyopia treatment.  (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2012, 36: 73-77)

    There remain several drawbacks including limited availability of donor corneas as well as recurrent allograft rejection and subsequent graft failure in conventional corneal transplantation. Although there have been established eye banks in many places, donor corneas are still limited. Therefore, it is significant to expand the sources of donor cornea, and construct the tissue engineered cornea in the treatment of severe ocular surface disease. We expound the classification of seed cells in the construction of tissueengineered cornea and the repair of injured cornea. Furthermore, we analyze the advantage and disadvantage with regard to seed cells in the construction of tissueengineered cornea, and supply some ideas for the research of tissue engineered cornea.  (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2012, 36: 8892)

    Bleb scarring is the main cause of glaucoma filtration surgery failure. Transforming growth factorbeta (TGFβ) can induce the phenotypic modulation of human Tenon's capsule fibroblasts, then cause further migration, proliferation of the cells, synthesis of extracellular matrix, and eventually lead to the scarring of the bleb. There had been a lot of researchs at cytokine and gene level  in antifibrotic area in recent years, which include TGFβ antibodies (such as antiTGFβ2 antibody, CAT152), TGFβ inhibitors (such as decorin, chymase inhibitor, SB431542, etc.) and genetic level reagents (such as TGFβ antisense oligonucleotides, etc.) to inhibit the important target and protein expression in TGFβ signaling pathways (such as ALK5/Smad2/Smad3, MAPK, RhoROCK, PI3KAKT signaling pathways, etc.), so as to achieve the role of reducing bleb scarring. But most of these drugs were lack of clinical trials support  and of comparative studies among different drugs. Therefore, indepth studies are still needed to explore the relationship among TGFβ cell signaling pathways, and find the best target for the regulation of bleb scarring.  (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2012, 36: 116121)

    Tissue factor (TF) is traditionally assigned to the onset of the extrinsic coagulation pathway. Recently, studies showed that an enhanced expression of TF has been implicated in angiogenesis, inflammation and apoptosis, all of which are the key processes underlying the pathogenesis of agerelated macular degeneration (AMD). Furthermore, TF is widely expressed in retinal tissue including retinal cells, inflammatory cells, mature vasculature and neovasculature of the macula characterized by drusen or choroidal neovascularization (CNV). This article reviews the biological features of TF and the potential role of increased TF expression in the pathogenesis of AMD, and helps us to find out a novel target for a safety and effective treatment of AMD.  (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2012, 36: 128133)

    Microglia in the retina are resident immunocompetent cells and originate from myeloid lineage. Resting microglia is sensitive in immune surveillance of surrounding circumstance in normal conditions. While in pathological conditions, microglia are activated and  participate in immune and inflammatory reaction. Although activated microglia is involved in infection limitation and tissue repair through phagocytosis and cytokines release, they may also cause tissue damage when overactivated. Microglial activation has been recognized as a neuropathological hallmark in diabetic retinopathy, indicating their important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. This review summarizes biological characteristics and functions of retinal microglia and present knowledge about their activation in the diabetic retinopathy.

    Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and functional visual loss characterized by an acquired atrophy of the optic nerve due to the loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons in the retina. Measurement of visual function is usually based on whiteonwhite standard automated perimetry (SAP). Glaucomatous defect in visual field typically manifested as nerve fiber bundle defect. Examination of the optic nerve head topography can be conducted using a variety of imaging techniques such as the retina tomography or similar instruments. Although either structural or functional damage can occur without the other developing, it is generally thought that structural damage is detectable before functional loss with the tools currently available and the location of visual field defect was corresponding with specific retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)  damage. Many studies suggest that  RNFL thickness measurements with OCT may provide a better crosssectional representation of visual function than with HRT II and GDx VCC measurements. The relationship between glaucomatous structure damage and functional changes plays a central role in the diagnosis, classification and visual function evaluation of glaucoma. This article provides a review of the structurefunction relationship in glaucoma.  (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2012, 36: 109-115)

    Besides involved in metabolism process, cell cycle control and immune response, Sirtuin1 (Sirt1), a member of Class III Histone deacetylase (HDAC), also demonstrated neuroprotective effects on the retinal cells in several retinal and optic nerve diseases. The roles of Sirt1 in the development of retina diseases were reviewed and summarized in this article. The main points included: in diabetic retinopathy models, Sirt1 could inhibit the retinal chronic inflammation, attenuate the retinal neovascularization and cleavage the metabolic memory of retina cells; in optic neuritis and glaucoma models, Sirt1 protected retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) from apoptosis; in agerelated macular degeneration (AMD) study, Sirt1 had been proved to be able to rescue the viability and function of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells in vitro, and decrease the complement factor (CF) Hinduced retinal autoimmunity. On the other hand, Sirt1, as a possible angiogenesis factor, may promote choroidal neovascularization, which needs further confirmation. Sirt1 might be a potential therapeutic target in retinal diseases.

    Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a distinct clinical entity characterized by orangered polypoidal subretinal lesions with recurrent serous and hemorrhagic detachments of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and neurosensory retina. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) has no typical manifestations while indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) can show the presence of choroidal networks of branching vessels as well as polypoidal or aneurismal dilations at the termination of choroidal vessels. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings often present as sharp protrusions of the RPE and the high reflective layer of choroidal capillaries with inner moderate reflections or nodular lesions. PCV should be differentiated from wet agerelated macular degeneration and some chronic central serous choroidal diseases. Although there is no standard protocol for the treatment of PCV, photodynamic therapy combined with intravitreal antiVEGF therapy can improve or stabilize patient's vision.   (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2013, 37: 36-42)

    Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complex disease which is caused by the interaction of blood glucose levels, duration of diabetes, and genetic and environmental factors. The research of its related genes or susceptibility genes is very active in the recent years. These candidate genes include aldose reductase gene (AR), vascular endothelial growth factor gene (VEGF), angiotensinconvening enzyme gene (ACE), inducible and constitutive nitric oxide synthases gene (NOS), receptor for advanced glycation endproducts gene (RAGE) and so on. DR is a disease of the role of multiple genes, and therefore there is different polymorphisms in each gene. It is very important for us to accurately understand the mechanism of the difference expression of gene during the occurrence and development of DR for the early diagnosis and prevention of DR. The current research advance in DR relevant gene is reviewed in this article.

    Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system.  The vision pathway,  including the retina, optic nerve, optic chiasm, optic thalamus and optic radiation can be involved. The present study showed that visual evoked potentials (VEP) could diagnose earlier than the clinical symptoms of MS and was superior to the MRI for the fundation of  the lesions of visual pathway in MS. Pathological changes of the retina in MS patients could be diagnosed and evaluated combining with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and scanning laser polarization instrument (SLP). The improvement of VEP techniques will be helpful to the diagnosis and treatment of MS.  (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2012, 36: 138-142)

    【Abstract】With the continuous development of refractive surgeries, measurement of scotopic pupil diameter becomes increasingly important. This article aims to introduce three methods of scotopic pupil diameter measurement: the traditional pupil diameter measurement tools, pupil measurement functions built in the anterior segment detectors, and infrared  method. The traditional pupil diameter measurement tools are inexpensive and simple to operate, but there are many deficiencies in scotopic situation. Pupil measurement functions built in the anterior segment detectors are domestic mainstream methods, the accuracy and repeatability of that are between the traditional method and infrared  method. Infrared measurement is the most reliable and widely used in foreign research and clinic, but seldom used in the domestic because of its high price. (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2012, 36: 314317)

    Phacoemulsification cataract extraction and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the most effective method for cataract patients. As the implanted biomaterials, IOL can initiate a series of biological reactions. IOL biocompatibility evaluation follows two major principles, which are bio-safety and bio-function principles. Biosafety evaluation includes cytotoxicity tests, genetic toxicity tests, irritation and sensitization test, as well as implantation test. Biofunction evaluation includes the evaluations of uveal biocompatibility and capsular biocompatibility.

    【Abstract】Refractive surgeries damage the cornea epithelial tissue, and then the corneal wound healing would startup. Femtosecond laser, as emerging technology, has gradually become the mainstream method of the cornea refractive surgery. The wound healing process directly influences early postoperative inflammation stimulation and long term clinical effect. The studys on the wound healing induced by excimer laser as well as by femtosecond laser, have already been reported in detail at home and abroad .Therefore, this paper will review the corneal wound healing after femtosecond laserLASIK. There appears more significant inflammatory reaction at early stage after femtosecond laserLASIK than LASIK with a microkeratome. (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2012, 36: 323327)

     Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) can be caused by agerelated macular degeneration, pathologic myopia, ocular trauma, and other eye diseases. The pathogenesis of CNV has not been fully elucidated. Cluster of differentiation 40 protein (CD40) and its ligand (CD40L) costimulatory system is an important signal transduction pathway in immune cells, which activates CD40 to stimulate a variety of angiogenic growth factor secretion, such as VEGF, basic fibroblast growth factor, and leads to the CNV. The high level of expression of CD40 and CD40L has been detected in CNV related diseases. Intervention of CD40 signal pathway may become a new target for CNV treatment.
