    角膜移植术是临床治疗角膜疾病的有效方法,which,然而,受到供体角膜的限制。开发具有“透明”和“上皮和基质生成”功能的生物粘附性角膜补片具有重要的临床价值,以及“无情”和“坚韧”。同时满足\"T.E.S.T.“要求,基于甲基丙烯酰化明胶(GelMA)设计了一种光固化水凝胶,PluronicF127二丙烯酸酯(F127DA)和醛化PluronicF127(AF127)共组装双功能胶束和I型胶原蛋白(COLI),结合临床应用的角膜交联(CXL)技术修复受损角膜。紫外线照射5分钟后形成的贴片具有透明,非常艰难,和强大的生物粘合性能。多次交联使贴片承受近600%的变形,并表现出大于400mmHg的爆裂压力,显著高于正常眼压(10-21mmHg)。此外,与无COLI的GelMA-F127DA和AF127水凝胶相比,降解速度较慢,使水凝胶贴片在体内基质床上稳定,支持角膜上皮和基质的再生。水凝胶贴剂可在4周内替代角膜深层基质缺损,并能很好地生物整合到兔模型的角膜组织中,联合CXL在圆锥角膜和其他角膜疾病的手术中显示出巨大的潜力。
    Corneal transplantation is an effective clinical treatment for corneal diseases, which, however, is limited by donor corneas. It is of great clinical value to develop bioadhesive corneal patches with functions of \"Transparency\" and \"Epithelium & Stroma generation\", as well as \"Suturelessness\" and \"Toughness\". To simultaneously meet the \"T.E.S.T.\" requirements, a light-curable hydrogel is designed based on methacryloylated gelatin (GelMA), Pluronic F127 diacrylate (F127DA) & Aldehyded Pluronic F127 (AF127) co-assembled bi-functional micelles and collagen type I (COL I), combined with clinically applied corneal cross-linking (CXL) technology for repairing damaged cornea. The patch formed after 5 min of ultraviolet irradiation possesses transparent, highly tough, and strongly bio-adhesive performance. Multiple cross-linking makes the patch withstand deformation near 600% and exhibit a burst pressure larger than 400 mmHg, significantly higher than normal intraocular pressure (10-21 mmHg). Besides, the slower degradation than GelMA-F127DA&AF127 hydrogel without COL I makes hydrogel patch stable on stromal beds in vivo, supporting the regrowth of corneal epithelium and stroma. The hydrogel patch can replace deep corneal stromal defects and well bio-integrate into the corneal tissue in rabbit models within 4 weeks, showing great potential in surgeries for keratoconus and other corneal diseases by combining with CXL.

    目的:本研究报告一例原发性翼状胬肉自发性撕脱伴眼前节光学相干断层扫描(AS-OCT)表现。
    方法:一名72岁女性主诉左眼急性疼痛。4个月前初次检查时,双眼均发现原发性翼状胬肉。裂隙灯显微镜显示鼻角膜上皮缺损,和左眼角膜缘卷曲的隆起病变。她被诊断为角膜翼状胬肉头部自发性撕脱。然后撕脱的翼状胬肉头部缓慢复发。另一只眼的翼状胬肉头部在上皮下方有黄白色的隆起性病变,血管分布不良。AS-OCT显示上皮下方的高反射灶,对应于黄白色的升高病变。
    结论:本病例显示翼状胬肉头部自发性撕脱导致角膜上皮缺损和眼部疼痛,而对眼的翼状胬肉头部在AS-OCT上显示上皮下高反射灶,怀疑球样变性。在这种情况下,翼状胬肉头部自发撕脱的原因可能是球形变性导致的角膜粘连较弱。
    结论:此病例是原发性翼状胬肉,导致自发性撕脱,在OCT中发现了高反射灶。
    OBJECTIVE: This study reports a case of the spontaneous avulsion of primary pterygium with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) findings.
    METHODS: A 72-year-old woman complained of acute pain of the left eye. Primary pterygia were noted in both eyes on the initial examination 4 months ago. Slit-lamp microscopy revealed a nasal corneal epithelial defect, and the rolled elevated lesion in the corneal limbus of the left eye. She was diagnosed with a spontaneous avulsion of the corneal pterygium head. Then the avulsed pterygium head slowly recurred. The pterygium head of the fellow eye had a yellow-whitish elevated lesion beneath the epithelium with poor vascularity. AS-OCT revealed hyper-reflective foci beneath the epithelium corresponding to the yellow-whitish elevated lesion.
    CONCLUSIONS: The present case revealed the spontaneous avulsion of the pterygium head leading to the corneal epithelial defects and ocular pain, while the pterygium head of the fellow eye showed subepithelial hyper-reflective foci suspicious of spheroidal degeneration on AS-OCT. In this case, the cause of spontaneous avulsion of the pterygium head might be potentially weak adhesion to the cornea due to spheroidal degeneration.
    CONCLUSIONS: This case is a primary pterygium leading to spontaneous avulsion, in which hyper-reflective foci were noted in OCT.

    目的:前段光学相干断层扫描(AS-OCT)是一种新兴的成像方式,在青光眼的诊断和治疗中具有越来越广泛的作用。我们介绍了一系列两例医源性环透析裂隙及其保守治疗,这些治疗是通过非侵入性AS-OCT监测直接告知的。
    方法:回顾性病例系列。一名51岁的男性和一名29岁的男性分别接受了房角镜辅助的经腔小梁切开术,用于治疗未控制的青光眼,并在术后诊断出具有环透析裂隙,然后使用连续的AS-OCT图像进行监测。在这两种情况下,最初采用保守的医疗管理。在两种情况下,当房角镜检查产生的可视化不足以有意义地告知治疗决策时,两种情况下的低眼压黄斑病变和最佳矫正视力均明显恶化。因此考虑升级到更具侵入性的治疗。AS-OCT成像显示每次随访时的解剖学改善一致,最终两个裂隙都闭合,而治疗没有升级。
    结论:AS-OCT在诊断中发挥了关键作用,并直接告知了这两种情况的保守治疗。这种非侵入性成像方式可以允许在某些环透析裂隙的情况下推迟侵入性治疗升级。
    OBJECTIVE: Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) is an emerging imaging modality with an expanding role in glaucoma diagnosis and management. We present a series of two cases of iatrogenic cyclodialysis cleft and their conservative management being directly informed by non-invasive AS-OCT monitoring.
    METHODS: Retrospective case series. A 51 year-old male and a 29 year-old male each underwent gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy for uncontrolled glaucoma with a cyclodialysis cleft being diagnosed postoperatively and then monitored using serial AS-OCT images. In both cases, conservative medical management was initially employed. Worsening hypotony maculopathy and decreasing best corrected visual acuity were evident in both cases at times when gonioscopy yielded inadequate visualization to meaningfully inform treatment decisions. Escalation to more invasive therapies was therefore considered. AS-OCT imaging revealed consistent anatomical improvement at each follow-up and ultimately both clefts closed without treatment escalation.
    CONCLUSIONS: AS-OCT played a critical role in the diagnosis and directly informed the conservative management of both of these cases. This non-invasive imaging modality may allow for deferral of invasive treatment escalation in some cases of cyclodialysis cleft.

    目的:报告1例白内障手术后由于前房晶状体碎片残留导致晚发性角膜代偿失调的病例。
    方法:一名65岁女性,自4个月以来一直抱怨左眼视力逐渐变暗。4年前,她在其他地方进行了顺利的超声乳化和后房型人工晶状体植入术。在检查中,左眼CDVA为20/200。裂隙灯检查显示角膜水肿并伴有Descemet\'s褶皱。她被诊断为假晶状体大疱性角膜病变,正在接受局部类固醇治疗,同样的环麻痹和高渗剂。她还接受了板层角膜移植的建议。后段检查在正常范围内。由于IOL的位置(沟与袋)没有清楚地看到超声生物显微镜(UBM)和前节光学相干断层扫描(AS-OCT)成像,以尝试更好地了解角膜代偿失调的可能原因。令我们惊讶的是,两者,UBM和ASOCT,一个人,保留的晶状体碎片在60时在前房中发现。进行AC洗涤以除去保留的晶状体碎片。AC冲洗后3个月角膜水肿完全消退,BCVA改善至20/40。
    结论:和重要性:这个案例强调了全面的临床评估的重要性,辅以影像学检查,以便做出完整的诊断并最终为患者取得更好的结果。在任何原因不明的角膜水肿的情况下,无论是术后早期还是术后晚期,UBM和ASOCT对确定根本原因非常有帮助。
    OBJECTIVE: To report a case of late onset corneal decompensation following cataract surgery due to retained lens fragment in anterior chamber.
    METHODS: A 65 year old female presented with complaint of gradual dimness of vision in left eye since 4 months. She underwent uneventful phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation elsewhere 4 years back. On examination, the CDVA in left eye was 20/200. Slit-lamp examination revealed corneal edema with Descemet\'s folds. She was diagnosed as pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and was being treated with topical steroids, cycloplegics and hyperosmolar agents for the same. She was also counseled about a lamellar corneal transplant. Posterior segment examination was within normal limits. Since the position of the IOL (sulcus versus bag) was not clearly seen ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) imaging was performed to try and better understand the possible cause for corneal decompensation. To our surprise, on both, UBM and ASOCT, a single, retained lens fragment was noted at 6 0\'clock in the anterior chamber. AC wash was performed to remove the retained lens fragment. 3 months post AC wash corneal edema resolved completely with improvement in the BCVA to 20/40.
    CONCLUSIONS: AND IMPORTANCE: This case highlights the importance of a thorough clinical evaluation supplemented with imaging modalities in order to make a complete diagnosis and eventually achieve better outcomes for the patient. In any case of unexplained corneal edema, either in the early or late postoperative period, UBM and ASOCT can become very helpful to determine the underlying cause.
