Ocular surface damage of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy Lin Xiaoxuan, Li Jinying International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (4): 354-359.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.04.012 Abstract （301）            Knowledge map    Save Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy associated with autoimmunity is a disease of inflammatory infiltration of periorbital and intraorbital ocular tissue caused by multi-factor disorders, but the pathogenesis has not been elucidated. The ocular damage caused by TAO has a wide range of involvement, and the ocular surface damage has a significant impact on visual function. The enlargement of palpebral fissure, the lesion of meibomian gland, the dysfunction of meibomian gland and the decrease of lipid layer of tear film caused by TAO lead to excessive evaporation of tear and the change of high osmotic pressure of tear, which induces or aggravates ocular surface inflammation. The abnormal expression of inflammatory factors in tears and the pathological changes of main and accessory lacrimal glands, and the decrease of water layer led to the further increase of tear osmotic pressure. The vicious circle of inflammation causes the damage of keratoconjunctival barrier, the decrease of corneal nerve fiber density and the decrease of corneal sensitivity. The changes of corneal biomechanical properties and the decrease of deformability in patients with TAO affected the measurement of intraocular pressure. TAO is also accompanied by orbital tissue hyperplasia and expansion, and the orbital pressure increases in patients, which lead to the disturbance of blood circulation. The nutritional supply of the ocular surface is impaired, and the normal physiological function of the ocular surface including the secretion of mucin by conjunctival goblet cells is affected. Ocular surface damage caused by TAO causes a series of serious eye discomfort and facial damage, which threatens the physical and mental health of patients.

Progress in diagnosis and treatment of optic nerve sheath meningiomas Ren Tingting, Ma Jianmin International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (4): 378-383.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.04.016 Abstract （337）            Knowledge map    Save Optic nerve sheath meningioma (ONSM) is a rare and slow-growing benign tumor that arises from arachnoid epithelial cells. ONSM primarily affects middle-aged women, and its clinical manifestations are mainly painless-progressive vision loss. Diagnosis is largely based on the combination of clinical and imaging findings. The typical CT/MRI findings are tubular or fusiform thickening of the optic nerve, followed by a ” double-track sign” after enhanced scan, which also may be accompanied by calcification. Treatment includes observation, radiotherapy and surgery, among which radiotherapy is the first choice for the treatment of ONSM. At present, there are many radiotherapy methods for ONSM, including spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), proton beam radiotherapy (PBT), 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT), etc. Surgical treatment can cause vision loss in patients and is usually not be used, but new surgical approaches have been proposed in the literature to prevent tumor extension to the contralateral side. Drug therapy has yielded vision improvement in some cases and is expected to be a potential treatment for ONSM. The mortality of ONSM is almost zero, but the visual prognosis is generally poor.(Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2023, 47: 378-383) Related Articles | Metrics

Application of posterior scleral reinforcement surgery in the treatment of high myopia Wu Jiale, Xiong Zhaohui, Xu Yincong, Sun Miaomiao, Gao Jie International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (6): 517-523.   DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.06.008 Abstract （486）            Knowledge map    Save The most obvious feature of pathological myopia is the gradual increase of the eye axis and the appearance of posterior staphyloma. Posterior scleral reinforcement surgery is currently an effective surgical method for delaying or preventing axial elongation in the treatment of pathological myopia. It mainly uses reinforcement materials to cause inflammatory reactions, neovascularization, and collagen fiber proliferation in the sclera to strengthen the weak posterior sclera and prevent further increase in axial length. This surgical method has been improved on the basis of strip method, patch method, and injection method, and currently, single strip reinforcement method is still the main method. Posterior scleral reinforcement materials are mainly divided into two categories: biological and non-biological, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Currently, artificial pericardial patches and allogeneic sclera are the main types. Although posterior scleral reinforcement surgery has significant advantages in controlling the development of high myopia, imaging examination suggests that the shape and location of staphyloma in the sclera are diverse, making it difficult for this surgery to conform to the surgical mechanism, leading to controversy over the postoperative efficacy.

Role of human herpesvirus and human papillomavirus in the pathogenesis of pterygium Zhou Shuowen, Xu Yesheng, Zheng Libin, Yao Yufeng International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (5): 471-474.   DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.05.015 Abstract （281）            Knowledge map    Save Primary pterygium is a triangular fibrovascular lesion originating from the conjunctiva that often breaks through the limbus and extends to the cornea. The pathogenesis of primary pterygium has yet to be fully elucidated, but ultraviolet light, wind and dust, viral infection, and other factors may be involved in it. Pathogenetic researches indicate that human herpesvirus(HHV) and human papillomavirus(HPV) are detected in pterygium tissue, but the prevalence varies greatly, suggesting that the virus infection may only act as one of the factors in pterygium pathogenesis or recurrence. If the involvement of the virus is confirmed in pterygium pathogenesis, antiviral medications or vaccination may become a new research direction for pterygium therapy. Related Articles | Metrics

Research progress of PANoptosis in the mechanism and treatment of glaucoma Ye Dan, Xu Yue, Huang Jingjing International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (6): 542-547.   DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.06.012 Abstract （403）            Knowledge map    Save Glaucoma is a group of irreversible blinding ophthalmopathies characterized by progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and axonal damage. The specific damage mechanism has not been clarified. PANoptosis is an inflammatory cell death pathway, including apoptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis. There are three activation pathways of cell death and molecular crosstalk in the retina of glaucoma patients and experimental animal models of glaucoma, which are closely related to the occurrence and development of glaucomatous RGC death. Targeted intervention with PANoptotic related molecules can inhibit retinal damage and RGC loss in glaucoma. (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2023, 47:  542-547) Related Articles | Metrics

Correlation between hypertensive retinopathy and other important target organs injury Zhao Runze, Sun Xiaojia, Lian Kun, Chang Tianfang, Dou Guorui International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (5): 418-423.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.05.006 Abstract （382）            Knowledge map    Save With the aging of China's population, the incidence of hypertension is increasing year by year. Retinal blood vessels have similar anatomical structure and functional characteristics with cerebrocardiovascular structure and renal blood vessels, meanwhile small retinal arteriopathy in hypertensive patients may precede the clinical symptoms of other important target organs damaged by hypertension, and retinal microcirculatory changes are expected to be a predictor of systemic pathologic changes in hypertensive patients. Although the correlation between hypertensive retinopathy and damage to the major target organs of hypertension has been confirmed, the examination and diagnostic criteria used in various studies are different, making replicability and clinical dissemination difficult. In recent years, the clinical application of artificial intelligence diagnosis model established by multi-modal hypertension retinopathy big data under fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (flow angiography) may solve this problem.

Pathological changes in the anterior capsule of diabetic cataract Xie Yi, Guan Huaijin, Ji Min International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (4): 322-327.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.04.006 Abstract （425）            Knowledge map    Save Diabetic cataract is one of the ocular complications caused or aggravated by diabetes mellitus (DM), its pathogenesis has not been elaborated completely. The lens capsule is an acellular, transparent, smooth basement membrane which acts as a barrier secreted by the lens epithelial cells. In hyperglycaemic states, the permeability of lens capsule membrane is altered and a series of pathological changes occur including: histological abnormalities such as fibrosis of anterior lens capsule, loss of intercellular junctions and gaps between epithelial cells and capsule membrane, ultrastructural abnormalities such as epithelial complex structure, gap laxity, finger-like protrusions and lamellar separation, as well as abnormal expression of basement membrane-related molecules. The balance of internal homeostasis of the lens will then accelerate the development of cataracts. Progress of researches on diabetic anterior lens capsule changes help to rethink the mechanism of diabetic cataract from a different perspective and provide a pathological basis for diagnosis and prevention.

Progress on prediction of vault after ICL implantation Zhu Qiujian, Yuan You, Song E International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (5): 456-461.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.05.012 Abstract （458）            Knowledge map    Save Vault is an important index to evaluate the safety of implantable collamer lens(ICL) implantation, and is also the focus of this surgical research. The choice of ICL size is the most important controllable factor for postoperativevault. The most traditional ICL size selection method is selected by white-to-white diameterand anterior chamber depth, but the accuracy of this method is not satisfactory. Therefore, researchers have tried to predict the postoperative arch height and ICL size through ultrasound biomicroscopy（UBM）, anterior segment OCT and even artificial intelligence, and achieved certain results. This article attempts to compare and analyze various vaulting prediction and ICL size selection methods, and expounds the characteristics, effects and evolution history of various methods.

Application of stent materials for lacrimal duct intubation surgery Xu Enpei, Li Guanghui International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (4): 367-372.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.04.014 Abstract （295）            Knowledge map    Save With the continuous advancement in artificial lacrimal duct improvements and tissue transplantation, significant progress has been made in the clinical treatment of lacrimal duct obstruction. However, complications such as postoperative scar obstruction or inflammatory reactions have not been completely resolved. Previous studies mainly focused on optimizing artificial lacrimal duct improvements, but it is currently difficult to achieve better clinical outcomes through surgical modifications. With the development of molecular biology and tissue engineering techniques, new scaffold materials are continuously being developed, providing a broad prospect for the treatment of lacrimal duct obstruction. Silicone-based materials, widely used in clinical tear duct intubation, still need improvement in terms of tissue compatibility compared to polypropylene and polymer materials. The development of new biodegradable materials indicates a new research direction for tear duct intubation materials. In addition, the combination of autologous and allogeneic materials provides a new developmental direction for tear duct bypass reconstruction surgery without the need for internal support.(Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2023, 47: 367-372) Related Articles | Metrics

The relationship between dome-shaped macula and refractive state and common complications Wang Gechun, , Yuan Fei International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (4): 339-344.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.04.009 Abstract （470）            Knowledge map    Save Dome-shaped macula (DSM) shows an inward bulge of the retina and choroid in the macula area on optical coherence tomography. The exact pathogenesis of DSM remains unclear, but it is primarily associated with adaptive compensation due to localized sclera thickening. DSM exists in patients with myopia, emmetropia or hypermetropia,  and is more frequently observed in patients with high ametropia. The prevalence rate is about 10%~20% among high myopia people. Common complications of DSM include  serous retinal detachment, choroidal neovascularization, retinoschisis, macular hole and macular epiretinal membrane, etc. Currently, it needs to be further confirmed that whether DSM is a concomitant or a causal relationship with the occurrence of complications. For asymptomatic DSM, regular follow-up observation is recommended. If complications occur and significantly impair visual function, methods such as anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy or manual therapy can be used.

Idiopathic macular epiretinal membrane and its OCT and OCTA imaging features Wang Gechun, Yuan Fei International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (5): 429-435.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.05.008 Abstract （447）            Knowledge map    Save Macular epiretinal membrane is a non-vascular fibroblast membrane located on the retinal inner surface in the macular area. Idiopathic macular epiretinal membrane (iERM) accounts for about 80%. Currently, optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the preferred diagnostic method for identifying iERM. OCT technology enables the early detection of the thickened and enhanced layer in the macular region associated with iERM. The information provided by OCT, such as the staging of the condition, central macular thickness, and integrity of the ellipsoid zone, plays a significant role in follow-up, determining the optimal timing for surgery and predicting prognosis. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) combines the technology of OCT and vascular imaging. In patients with iERM, OCTA images exhibit differences compared to those of normal eyes due to the traction caused by the epiretinal membrane on the retinal vasculature. Therefore, key parameters obtained through OCTA, such as the FAZ (foveal avascular zone) area, degree of vascular distortion, and vascular density, provide valuable insights for evaluating the prognosis of patients. The application of OCT and OCTA aids in more accurate diagnosis and management of patients with macular epiretinal membrane. Related Articles | Metrics

The role of NETs in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy Feng Qianhong, Yuan Fei International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (4): 350-353.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.04.011 Abstract （392）            Knowledge map    Save Neutrophil extracellular traps(NETs) are network structures composed of nuclear DNA and/or mitochondrial DNA and various proteins released by neutrophils after receiving external stimulation. NETs play an important role in clearing pathogens, inflammation, autoimmunity, etc. Recent years, increasing evidence suggests that NETs are involved in the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The hyperglycemic and low-grade inflammatory environment in T2DM can induce NETs in the retina. DR itself also can increase the adhesion of neutrophils in retinal vessels and induce NETs. In addition, some studies have demonstrated that NETs can induce the regression of retinal pathological neovascularization. The study of NETs provides new strategies and directions for the prevention and research of DR. (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2023, 47: 350-353) Related Articles | Metrics

Rotational stability  of Toric IOL and its influencing factors Hong Yang, Zhao Chunmei, Liu Xiangyun International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (4): 328-332.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.04.007 Abstract （375）            Knowledge map    Save Toric IOL implantation is a way to correct cataract with astigmatism. The degree of rotation is positively correlated with the increase of astigmatism and defocus aberration. The rotation of the IOL will lead to different degrees of astigmatism and defocus aberration. Long axial length, irregular capsulorhexis, severe fibrosis of the anterior capsule membrane, poor adhesion of IOL materials, and postoperative vigorous activity are all risk factors for Toric IOL rotation.

Relationship between cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and pathophysiological mechanisms of optic nerve damage diseases Fu Yingdi, Xie Yuan, Wang Ningli International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (5): 392-399.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.05.002 Abstract （359）            Knowledge map    Save In recent years, it has been proposed that the impairment of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)dynamics is the common pathophysiological mechanism causing diseases associated with optic nerve impairment. Further study of CSF dynamics, especially optic nerve subarachnoid space (ONSAS) cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, may contribute to the understanding of conditions such as idiopathic intracranial hypertension, spaceflight-associated neuro-ophthalmic syndrome, normal-tension glaucoma and other diseases that cause optic nerve damage and visual impairment, and provide more ideas for their prevention and treatment.The CSF may not flow into ONSAS because of the degree of optic canal stenosis, intraocular pressure and the variation of anatomic structure. The change of ONSAS cerebrospinal fluid pressure is the main factor that cause optic disc edema and atrophy. The changes of pressure and inflammation stimulate the proliferation of meningeal epithelial cells in ONSAS and make the space of lumen become smaller, it leads to the occurrence of optic nerve sheath compartment syndrome, which damages the CSF dynamics and further leads to optic nerve injury. At present, there is no gold standard for evaluating CSF pressure in ONSAS and means to monitor CSF dynamics in real time. The change of CSF pressure in ONSAS can only be roughly judged by the change of optic nerve sheath diameter or intracranial pressure. Related Articles | Metrics

Mechanisms of photoreceptor death in retinal degenerative diseases Li Yihui, Jin Zibing International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (5): 406-412.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.05.004 Abstract （416）            Knowledge map    Save Retinal degenerative diseases, characterized by progressive loss of photoreceptors, cause irreversible damage to vision. In the past, apoptosis and necrosis were considered to be the main mechanisms of photoreceptor death. Recently, pyrodeath, autophagy, PARP-1-dependent cell death and iron death have been confirmed to be related to photoreceptor death. Specially, autophagy has a dual effect on photoreceptor cells. Inhibition of these signaling pathways can reduce the photoreceptor death in retinal degenerative diseases. With the further of the understanding of cell death, the diagnosis and treatment of retinal degenerative diseases will be updated and improved. Related Articles | Metrics

Advance of immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery in COVID-19 era Ren Yuecong, Yan Hong International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (4): 333-338.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.04.008 Abstract （389）            Knowledge map    Save Immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery(ISBCS) is performed on both eyes on the same day but as separate procedures which was first reported in 1952. The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a greater interest in ophthalmologist perceptions of ISBCS in recent years because of the cost savings and convenience. Especially in countries where there is a long waiting list for second eye cataract surgery. Despite the advantages of rapid restoration of binocular vision and reduction of epidemic exposure in specific contexts, further clinical research on ISBCS is needed on the long-term safety including bilateral endophthalmitis, refractive surprise, corneal decompensation, and bilateral macular edema.

The risk factors and prevention of postoperative strabismus infection Zhang Feie, Cai Yan International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (6): 564-569.   DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.06.016 Abstract （299）            Knowledge map    Save Infection after strabismus surgery is a rare complication, but it affects postoperative recovery and surgical outcomes. Post-strabismus infection often manifests as keratoconjunctivitis, subconjunctival abscess, Tenon's capsule abscess, orbital cellulitis, periorbital abscess or endophthalmitis. The type, depth and location of the infection determine the treatment. Superficial infections recover well with topical antibiotic treatment; abscesses require incision and drainage as well as systemic antibiotics; infections involving deeper tissues require systemic treatment; and severe endophthalmitis can lead to vision loss or even blindness, requiring vitreous cavity injection antibiotics or vitrectomy.(Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2023, 47:  564-569) Related Articles | Metrics

Role of platelets in retinopathy of prematurity Kong Jiayi, Li Manhong, Zhang Zifeng, Wang Yusheng International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (5): 413-417.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.05.005 Abstract （291）            Knowledge map    Save Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) has already become the leading cause of blindness in children worldwide, while neovascularization is the significant pathological cause of ROP occurrence and development. Except for participating in coagulation and hemostasis, wound healing, inflammation and tumor metastasis, platelets, the cellular debris produced by mature macrophages, play an important role in angiogenesis through regulating angiogenesis related factors and cells. Researchers have shown that the role and variation of platelets in ROP may provide new ideas for early screening and treatment with platelets infusion. Related Articles | Metrics

Application of capsular tension ring in cataract surgery Chen Dongjun, Wan Xiuhua International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (4): 315-321.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.04.005 Abstract （589）            Knowledge map    Save When there are anomalies in the zonules,the safety of cataract surgery is significantly compromised,leading to increased risks of vitreous prolapse,capsular rupture,residual lens cortex,and dislocation of the intraocular lens(IOL). The use of capsular tension rings(CTRs)and related intraocular devices allow ophthalmologists to maintain the stability of the capsular bag easily during complex cataract surgeries,enhancing the controllability of anterior segment procedures and reducing or alleviating intraoperative and postoperative complications. Moreover, they improves the prognosis of zonular anomalies related conditions. With continuous advancements in design and materials,the indications for capsular tension rings are expanding gradually. Especially for highly myopic patients,CTRs can effectively stabilize the position of the IOL,provide additional support to the relaxed zonules,inhibit migration and proliferation of residual lens epithelial cells,and improve patients' visual quality while reducing the incidence of retinal detachment post-surgery.

Influence of high altitude on dry eye Yang Qi, Cai Yan International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (6): 553-557.   DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.06.014 Abstract （296）            Knowledge map    Save The high altitude, low humidity, hypoxia, and strong ultraviolet rays in the plateau environment are risk factors for inducing dry eye. The combination of low pressure and humidity increases the rate of tear evaporation and decreases tear film stability. Additionally, the strong winds and sand cause inflammatory changes on the ocular surface while hypoxia can lead to corneal oedema. Moreover, ultraviolet rays destabilize the tear film and increase the evaporation of tears. All these environmental factors prevalent in highland areas can cause dry eye by either damaging the tear film or raising the rate of tear evaporation.

Dry eye after small incision femtosecond laser lenticule extraction in different degrees of myopia Reyila·Ainiwaer, Ding Lin International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (6): 508-512.   DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.06.006 Abstract （335）            Knowledge map    Save Dry eyes is one of the most common complications after laser vision correction. Although small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) has the lowest incidence of dry eye compared with other refractive procedures. The prevalence of dry eye in patients with different degrees of myopia after SMILE is different, and the related influencing factors may also be different. The higher the degree of myopia, the more denervation caused by SMILE surgery leads to the increased release of substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) from corneal sensory nerve fibers, the increased occurrence of neurogenic inflammation and the severer dry eye symptoms. Dry eye related examinations such as corneal staining, Schirmer test, tear film break-up time, tear osmolality, corneal sensitivity and ocular surface disease index score were more abnormal.

Effect of optic disc size on thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell complex Li Caixia, Li Shuning International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (4): 308-314.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.04.004 Abstract （405）            Knowledge map    Save Examination of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) have been widely used for the screening and diagnosis of early glaucoma, but the thicknesses of RNFL and GCC are affected by race, age, sex, ocular factors and systemic diseases. Optic disc size is one of the important influencing factors for measuring the thickness of RNFL and GCC in patients with different optic disc sizes using optical coherence tomography (OCT). The measurement of RNFL in the normal scanning mode of OCT is influenced by the size of optic disc, and the RNFL in large optic disc is thicker. Therefore, proportional scanning mode is more suitable for RNFL measurement of different types of optic disc. However, it is still controversial whether patients with larger optic disc have greater GCC thickness measurements than those with small optic disc, which needs further study to verify.

Associated factors of myopic shift after surgery for congenital cataract children Du Qiuxuan, Yuan Jing, Su Wenjie, Huang Yusen International Review of Ophthalmology    2023, 47 (5): 452-455.   DOI: 10.3760/ cma.j.issn.1673-5803.2023.05.011 Abstract （315）            Knowledge map    Save It is a common clinical scientific problem that myopic shift after congenital cataract surgery in children. The influencing factors are being explored. Among which, the younger the patient when cataract extraction with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is performed, the greater the myopic shift. Moreover, patients can be treated with IOL implantation or optical correction after cataract extraction, achieving similar axial growth in a long-term follow-up period.The visual axis opacity and glaucoma after surgery can both increase the myopic shift. Clarify the best time point for IOL implantation, accurately calculate the IOL power, reasonable planning of follow-up time, has important clinical significance to improve the long-term visual quality of patients and reduce excessive myopic shift.
