Objective:To analyze and summarize the oncological outcomes after laparoscopic radical trachelectomy (LRT) for early stage cervical cancer.Methods:The clinical data and follow-up results of 148 patients with early stage cervical cancer who underwent LRT in Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University from July 2014 to June 2023 were collected, while tumor outcomes and postoperative pregnancy were analyzed retrospectively.Results:(1) General situation: the median age of 148 patients with LRT was 33 years (range: 19-42 years). Pathological type: 111 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 36 cases of adenocarcinoma, 1 case of adenosquamous carcinoma. International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (2018) stage: 17 cases of stage Ⅰa1 with lympho-vascular space invasion, 25 cases of stage Ⅰa2, 102 cases of stage Ⅰb1, and 4 cases of stage Ⅰb2. (2) Tumor outcomes: 148 patients were followed up regularly after LRT, and the median follow-up time was 59 months (range: 2-104 months). During the follow-up period, 5 cases of tumor recurred (including 1 death), and the median recurrence time was 10 months (range: 4-33 months). Among them, there were 3 cases of pelvic metastasis, 1 case of distant metastasis, and 1 case of both pelvic and distant metastasis. Both 3-year and 5-year disease-free survival rates of 148 patients were 94.5%, and the 5-year overall survival rate was 98.9%. (3) Postoperative pregnancy: among 148 patients with LRT, 67 patients had pregnancy requirements, followed up for 1 year, and 20 of them were pregnant, with a pregnancy rate of 29.9% (20/67). Among the 20 pregnant patients, 2 cases early abortion, 1 case mid-term abortion, and 17 cases gave birth (including 4 cases of premature birth and 13 cases of full-term birth).Conclusion:Under the condition of strict control of surgical indications, guaranteed surgical scope and tumor-free operation, LRT in patients with early cervical cancer has a good outcome.

Stickler syndrome is a hereditary connective tissue disorder, characterized in ocular manifestations by high myopia and vitreous abnormalities. The progression of the disease can lead to giant retinal tear and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, making it the most common cause of inherited pediatric retinal detachment. Surgical intervention is the primary treatment for retinal detachment associated with Stickler syndrome. However, there are currently no evidence-based management strategies. Patients typically require multiple surgeries, with low reattachment rates and high recurrence rates, emphasizing the importance of prophylactic treatment. Current prophylactic measures include scleral bucking, laser photocoagulation and retinal cryotherapy, but their absolute benefits remain insufficiently supported. This review summarizes recent advances in the prophylaxis and treatment of retinal detachment in Stickler syndrome, aiming to provide new insights and essential references for the prevention and treatment for such conditions.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of comprehensive treatment for retinoblastoma (RB).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January to December in 2019, 157 cases (203 eyes) of RB who were diagnosed by the Department of Ophthalmology of Xinhua Hospital and received comprehensive treatment were included in this study. Of cases, 76 were male, and 81 were female; 111 were unilateral, and 46 were bilateral. The medium of age at diagnosis was 20.1 months. All patients received treatment for the first time. Patients with intraocular tumors were divided into A-E stages, extraocular stage and distant metastasis according to international intraocular RB classification standard. The median follow-up time was 37.4 months. Clinical features, treatment, prognosis and ocular complications of all cases were recorded.Results:Among 157 cases (203 eyes), 137 cases (180 eyes) were in intraocular stage; 6, 14, 10, 98, and 52 of eyes were in A-E stages, respectively. Twelve cases (12 eyes) were in extraocular stage; 8 cases (11 eyes) were in distant metastasis stag; 8 cases died due to distant metastasis; 149 cases (94.9%, 149/157) survived; 48 eyes were enucleated, 34 of which underwent initial enucleation, and 14 eyes underwent enucleation after eye-preserving treatment. The overall global salvage rate was 155 eyes (76.4%,155/203), and that after eye-preserving treatment was 91.7% (155/169). Severer eye for bilateral cases was taken into account for statistic; 120 cases (120 eyes) received initial eye-preserving treatment. Among them, 36 and 84 eyes underwent initial intravenous chemotherapy (IVC) and initial intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC), respectively. The enucleation of the two groups was 7(19.4%, 7/36), 7(8.3%, 7/84); 33 (91.7%, 33/36) and 33 (39.3%, 33/84) eyes received the second treatment, respectively. There was no significant difference in the rate of enucleation between the two treatments ( χ2=2.037, P=0.154). There was significant difference in the percentage of secondary treatment ( χ2=27.937, P<0.001). Fifty-four eyes (45.0%, 54/120) stabilized after initial treatment, and 66 eyes (55.0%, 66/120) underwent secondary treatments due to poor response or tumor recurrence. For 66 eyes receiving secondary treatments, enucleation, IAC, intravitreous chemotherapy (IVitC), IAC combined with IVitC, and laser and/or cryotherapy was performed in 6, 18, 12, 13, and 17 eyes, respectively. The number of eyes of enucleation among the IAC, IVitC, and IAC combined with IVitC group was 5 (27.8%, 5/18), 1 (9.3%, 1/12), and 2 (15.4%, 2/13) eyes, which was no significantly different ( χ2=2.001, P=0.368). Until the last follow-up, visual acuity outcomes were acquired in 148 eyes (72.9%, 148/203). Among them, 41, 53, 16 and 38 eyes had no light perception, light perception to finger counting, 20/400, and ≥20/200, respectively. In total, among 203 eyes, 121 eyes received IAC, of which 2, 4, and 1 eyes had optic disc atrophy, vitreous hemorrhage, and severe retinal-choroidal atrophy, respectively; 60 eyes received IVitC, of which one and one eye had vitreous hemorrhage and macular hemorrhagic necrosis, respectively. Conclusions:In this study, the overall survival rate was 94.9% after comprehensive treatment and the rate of global salvage after eye-preserving treatment was 91.7%. The comprehensive treatment of retinoblastoma had a relatively high efficacy and safety.

Persistent fetal vasculature syndrome (PFVS) is a rare congenital vitreous dysplasia, which is classified as anterior, posterior and combined types according to the location of the vascular abnormalities. The clinical manifestations of PFVS are diverse, and early surgical intervention is very important. The main objective of surgical treatment is to remove the anterior and posterior traction between fibrovascular membranes and retina as well as lens, and to reconstruct clear visual axis. Surgical treatments include pupilloplasty, lensectomy with or without intraocular lens implantation and vitrectomy via limbal or scleral approach. For new technologies, the applications of ophthalmic viscosurgical device and femtosecond lasers have desirable results . In addition to focusing on improving the success rate of surgery, it is also necessary to systematically and comprehensively assess the overall preoperative condition and postoperative visual function of the patients. PFVS eyes have limited improvement in postoperative vision, which is related to the extent of lesion involvement and the occurrence of complications. Eyes with macular dysplasia and tractional retinal detachment, as well as elongated ciliary process, have a poor prognosis of vision after surgery. How to improve postoperative vision in the eye affecting the posterior segment of the eye with PFVS from the microscopic anatomical relationship between the fibrous vascular pedicle and the retina is worth further study. On the other hand, reducing surgical trauma and optimizing surgical procedures in order to improve postoperative visual acuity and reduce postoperative complications are also the key research directions of future PFVS treatments.

Objective:To evaluate the functional and anatomical outcomes of autologous single retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) transplantation for severe obsolete submacular hemorrhage (SMH) in late age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 2012 to December 2015, 11 patients with AMD (11 eyes) with obsolete SMH who were diagnosed and treated by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with autologous RPE transplantation at the Department of Ophthalmology, Xin Hua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were included. Among them, there were 9 eyes in 9 males and 2 eyes in 2 females. All the eyes underwent the examinations of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography; 4 eyes underwent macular fixation function (MAIA) at the same time. The BCVA examination was carried out using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity during statistics. All eyes were treated with PPV combined with autologous single-layer RPE transplantation or autologous RPE-choroidal full-thickness transplantation, and were divided into S group and C group, with 5 and 6 eyes respectively. The differences of age ( t=-0.363), gender composition ratio ( χ2=0.549), course and thickness of SMH ( t=0.118, 0.231), average times of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drug treatments ( t=0.129), times of PPV ( t=-0.452) between the two groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The follow-up period was 6-40 months after the operation, and the BCVA, MAIA, graft status and complications of the eyes after the operation were observed. The comparison of continuous variables between groups was performed by independent-sample t test; the comparison of categorical variables was performed by χ2 test. Results:At the last follow-up, the average logMAR BCVA of the eyes in group S and C were 1.62±0.34 and 1.03±0.20, respectively; group C was better than group S, however, the difference was not statistically significant ( t=1.532, P=0.160). There were 4 eyes (80%, 4/5) and 6 eyes (100%, 6/6) in S group and C group with BCVA better than preoperative, the difference was no statistical significance ( χ2=0.677, P=0.895). There were 2 (40%, 2/5) and 3 (50%, 3/6) eyes with logMAR BCVA better than 1.0 in S group and C group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2=0.572, P=0.423). After the operation, 6 eyes of grafts were in good condition and 5 eyes were in poor condition; the BCVA of grafts in good condition was significantly higher than that of poor condition, the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.894, P=0.001). Among the 4 eyes that underwent MAIA examination, 2 eyes were unstable and diffusely fixed on the graft; the fixation point was located at the normal retina adjacent to the graft area in 2 eyes. Secondary subretinal hemorrhage occurred in 3 eyes after the operation; the intraocular pressure was high in 1 eye after the operation. During the follow-up period, no intraocular infection, secondary retinal detachment, recurrent choroidal neovascularization or low intraocular pressure occurred in all eyes. Conclusions:Both autologous single-layer RPE transplantation and autologous RPE-choroidal full-thickness transplantation can help stabilize or even improve the visual function of eyes with severe SMH secondary to advanced AMD. The visual acuity after surgery is closely related to the state of the graft.

Objective:To investigate the value of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in diagnosis of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis for early cervical cancer.Methods:Retrospectively analyze the preoperative PET/CT examination results and postoperative pathological results of patients with early cervical cancer who underwent surgical treatment from May 5, 2019 to August 31, 2020, and analyze the clinical characteristics, so as to explore the high risk factors of PET/CT in the diagnosis of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis.Results:The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC) of PET/CT in the diagnosis of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis were 75.2%, 60.0%, 81.3% and 0.707, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that 2009 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, tumor diameter >4 cm, lymphovascular space involvement (LVSI) positive, depth of invasion, high squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) level and cytological grade were important factors for PET/CT in the diagnosis of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis ( P<0.05); Multivariate analysis showed that tumor diameter >4 cm was an independent risk factor for PET/CT diagnosis of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis ( P=0.015). Conclusions:PET/CT has a certain diagnostic value in the evaluation of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, but it can not fully reflect the facticity of lymph node metastasis; tumor diameter > 4cm is an independent risk factor for PET/CT in the diagnosis of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between genotype and phenotype in children with CRB1 mutated Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) and early onset retinal dystrophy (EOSRD). Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 2013 to December 2019, 10 children with CRB1 mutated LCA/EOSRD were enrolled in the study. The patients were identified as CRB1 mutation by the second generation targeted capture sequencing, Sanger sequencing and the family segregation analysis. All children underwent electroretinogram (ERG) and fundus examination. At the same time, 6 cases were examined by optical coherence tomography (OCT); 1 case was examined by fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA), 7 cases were examined by wide-angle laser scanning ophthalmoscope (UWF SLO). Results:There were 6 cases of LCA and 4 cases of EOSRD in 10 patients with CRB1 gene mutations. The average age of first visit was 3.61 years old. The light and dark wave of ERG was flat in 6 cases, and decreased in 4 cases. A total of 19 pathogenic mutations were detected. There were 1 homozygous mutation and 9 compound heterozygous mutations. There were 4, 2 and 1 cases of "copper-coin" like, "salt and pepper" like and "osteocyte" like pigment changes in retina, 1 case of "crystalline pigment" change and 2 cases of macular pigment scar. In 7 cases of UWF SLO examination, different degrees of para-arteriolar pigment epithelium retention (PPRPE) were found in the middle and peripheral fundus. In 6 cases examined by OCT, the outer layer of retina atrophied and the band of ellipsoid disappeared. Symmetrical cystoid macular edema, splitting cystoid macular degeneration and adhesion of epi-macular membrane to optic disc and macular area were found in 1 case, respectively, the retinal structure was rough and thickened, and the fovea became thinner in 3 cases. In FFA examination, 1 case showed uveitis-like changes with late optic disc fluorescein staining, macular fluorescence accumulation, strong fluorescence diffusing along the blood vessels in each quadrant, peripheral PPRPE of "frost-branch" like strong fluorescence. Conclusion:The relationship between genotype and phenotype of CRB1 mutation is complex, and PPRPE is a common characteristic change.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a proliferative vascular retinal disease. Cryotherapy, laser photocoagulation, intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, scleral buckling surgery and vitrectomy are the main treatments. Treated with cryotherapy or laser photocoagulation or intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, patients with a history of ROP have thicker foveas, and the morphology of the fovea and the development of the retinal vessels in the macular area are affected, resulting in abnormal vision development. However, the specific mechanisms by which different treatments of ROP affecting the development of the macula are not yet clear. It still need further study with large samples to verify and explore, whether changes in the levels of intraocular vascular endothelial growth factor changing the process of normal macular development and how the abnormal development of the macula affects visual function.

" The international classification of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) (The 3rd edition)" , retains current definitions such as zone, stage, and circumferential extent of disease, however, there are also many updates. Major updates include: (1) increase of the definition of posterior pole Ⅱ; (2) introduction of a new concept "notch"; (3) definition of stage 5's subcategorization; (4) recognition that a continuous spectrum of vascular abnormality exists from normal to plus disease. Updates also include the definition of "aggressive ROP" to replace "aggressive-posterior ROP" . ROP regression and reactivation are described in detail, with additional description of long-term sequelae.
