1.Research progress on postoperative complicated cataracts after implantable collamer lens implantation
International Eye Science 2025;25(1):50-54
Correcting high myopia has always been challenging in clinical practice. For patients with high myopia, the implantation of an implantable collamer lens(ICL)has become the main treatment option. Recent studies have shown that ICL implantation is effective not only for correcting moderate-to-high myopia but is also increasingly used for mild-to-moderate myopia. Furthermore, ICL implantation can address difficult refractive problems and can be combined with corneal refractive surgery to extend the range of correction. ICL implantation offers a wide range of corrections, good postoperative visual quality, high predictability, reversibility, and preservation of the natural accommodative capacity. It is gradually demonstrating its unique advantages in clinical practice. Postoperative complicated cataract is a common cause of visual impairment, and severe cases may require secondary surgery. The design, material, and vault of the ICL, along with patient-specific factors, are related to the mechanism of postoperative complicated cataracts after ICL implantation. The purpose of this article is to review the updates and iterations in ICL design, the mechanism of postoperative complicated cataracts, and their prevention.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs combined with retinal laser photocoagulation and anti-VEGF drugs alone in the treatment of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) combined with macular edema (ME).Methods:A evidence-based medicine study. Retinal vein occlusion (obstruction), macular edema, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, bevacizumab, ranibizumab, conbercept, aflibercept, and retinal laser photocoagulation were the Chinese and English search terms. Related literature was searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Weipu, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library. RVO combined with ME was selected as the research object, and the treatment plan was a clinical randomized controlled study comparing intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs combined with laser photocoagulation and anti-VEGF drugs alone. The search time range was from January 2011 to February 2021. Repeated, incomplete or irrelevant literature, case reports and review literature were excluded. Review Manager 5.4 statistical software was used to conduct a meta-analysis of the literature. The weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval ( CI) were selected as the estimated value of effect size, and the fixed effect model was used for analysis. The evaluation indicators were best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), center macular thickness (CMT), and the number of injections. Results:According to the search strategy, 461 articles were initially retrieved, and 21 articles were finally included for meta-analysis. A total of 1156 patients were enrolled, of which 576 were treated with anti-VEGF drugs combined with laser photocoagulation (combined treatment group), and 580 were treated with anti-VEGF drugs alone (drug treatment group). Meta-analysis results showed that there was no statistically significant difference in BCVA and CMT between the drug treatment group and the combination treatment group at 6, 9, and 12 months after treatment (BCVA: WMD =-0.82, 95% CI -2.38-0.74, P=0.30; CMT: WMD=-3.12, 95% CI -17.25-11.01, P=0.67). For patients with branch retinal vein occlusion and ME, combined therapy can reduce the number of injections more effectively than drug therapy alone ( WMD=-0.80, 95% CI -1.18--0.42, Z=4.10, P <0.000 1). Conclusion:Compared with pure intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs, combined retinal laser photocoagulation can not better improve BCVA and CMT in patients with RVO and ME. For patients with branch retinal vein occlusion and ME, combined retinal laser photocoagulation can effectively reduce the resistance. The number of VEGF injections.

Objective:To investigate the effects of anemoside B4 on apoptosis of retinal cells in diabetic rats.Methods:Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups: the normal control(control), diabetic rats(DM)and diabetic rats treated with Anemoside B4(B4)groups(n=20, each group). Rats in the DM and B4 groups were rendered diabetic with an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ, 60 mg/kg). After 3 days of successful modeling, rats in the B4 group were intraperitoneally injected with anemoside B4(5 mg/kg), twice/day, for 8 weeks, while rats in the control and DM groups were injected with an equivalent volume of normal saline.After 8 weeks of anemoside B4 and normal saline injection, rats were sacrificed and retinas were harvested for examination.Paraffin sections of retina were stained with the hematoxylin-eosin(H-E)method for morphological evaluation.Protein levels of Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by using Western blot.The expression of caspase-3 mRNA was detected with quantitative PCR.Results:H-E staining results showed the control group had intact retinal structure and clear morphological features, whereas disordered retinal structure, thinner layers, and sparse and disorganized cells were seen in the DM group.However, retinal structure and morphology were improved after treatment with anemoside B4.Compared with the control group, the protein expression of Bcl-2 was lower( t=57.81, P<0.01), the protein expression of Bax was higher( t=10.47, P<0.01), and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio was lower( t=23.98, P<0.01)in the DM group.Compared with the DM group, the protein expression of Bcl-2 was higher( t=41.07, P<0.01), the protein expression of Bax was lower( t=6.811, P<0.01), and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio was higher( t=14.70, P<0.01)in the B4 group.Caspase-3 mRNA expression was higher in the DM group than in the control group( t=7.916, P<0.01), but was lower in the B4 group compared with the DM group( t=6.221, P<0.01). Conclusions:Anemoside B4 can inhibit the apoptosis of retinal cells by up-regulating Bcl-2 expression and down-regulating Bax and caspase-3 expression in diabetic rats.

Objective: To analyze the contents of flavonoids in Astragali Radix before and after sodium pyrosulfite solution soa-king, so as to provide reliable methods for scientifically evaluating and effectively controlling the quality of Astragali Radix. Methods:After sodium pyrosulfite solution soaking, the contents of calycosin glucoside, ononin, formononetin and pterostilbene were analyzed by HPLC-DAD. Results: Calycosin glucoside, ononin, formononetin and pterostilbene showed a good linear relationship within the range of 0. 048-60. 000 μg·ml-1, 0. 019-30. 000 μg·ml-1, 0. 019-40. 000 μg·ml-1and 0. 019-40. 00 0μg·ml-1, respectively. After sodium pyrosulfite solution soaking, the contents of calycosin glucoside and ononin decreased, furthermore, with the increase of sodium sulfite solution concentration and soaking time, the decrease trend was more obvious, and the differences between the high concentra-tion group and the normal group were 2-3 times. The content of formononetin was essentially the same, while the difference in pterostil-bene content between the high concentration groups and the normal group was 10 times. Conclusion: After sodium pyrosulfite solution soaking, the contents of flavonoid glycoside components are reduced, therefore, it is not advisable to use sodium pyrosulfite solution soaking to achieve keeping fresh, mothproof and prolonging the shelf life of Astragali Radix.

Objective To observe the effects of Curcumin on the cellular apoptosis of rat retinal vascular endothelial cells (RRVEC) induced by high glucose. Methods Generation 4 cultured RRVEC were used in this experiment, and identified with anti-vWF factor antibody by immunochemistry and immunofluorescence. The RRVEC were divided into control group (5.5 mmol/L glucose), high glucose group (30 mmol/L glucose), and treatment group (30 mmol/L glucose+30 μmol/L Curcumin), respectively. Flow cytometry was used to measure the cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and apoptosis. The expression intensity and location of nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65 in the cells of the three groups were detected by immunochemistory. The expression of Bcl-2 and Bax protein was detected by Western blot test. Results Immunostaining showed that RRVEC were positive for vWF factor. The flow cytometry showed that the cellular ROS level in treatment group was higher than that in the control group (t=8.677, P=0.000), but less than that in the high glucose group (t=40.957, P=0.000). Compared with the high glucose group, the cellular ROS level in the treatment group was decreased significantly (t=6.568, P=0.000). The cellular apoptosis were significantly different among the three groups (F=325.137, P=0.000). Compared with the high glucose group, the cellular apoptosis in the treatment group was decreased significantly (t=12.818, P=0.000). Immunochemistry showed that NF-κB p65 was expressed strongly in the cellular nuclei and cytoplasm in the high glucose group than that in the control group and the treatment group with the significant differences (t=8.322, P=0.000). Western blot results demonstrated that compared with the control group, the expression of Bcl-2 of RRVEC and Bcl-2/Bax ratio decreased (t=4.362, 6.449; P=0.005, 0.001) and Bax increased (t=3.813, P=0.009)in the high glucose group, with statistically significant differences. Compared with the high glucose group, the expression of NF-κB and Bax decreased (t=2.577, 3.059; P=0.042, 0.022) and Bcl-2/Bax ratio increased significantly (t=3.831, P=0.009) in the treatment group. Conclusion Curcumin could suppress the cellular apoptosis of RRVEC induced by high glucose. The mechanism of Curcumin protecting RRVEC may be via regulating NF-κB signal pathway.
