眼睛由屈光系统和视觉神经系统两大部分构成,是人体最重要的感觉器官之一。眼部各组织的发育或功能异常都可能造成不同程度的视力损害。目前主要通过动物实验或体外细胞培养的方法探究眼病的病理生理机制和治疗手段,但上述两种方法都存在一定的局限性。体外细胞培养不能完全反映器官的形态、结构和生化特征,而动物模型的物种和遗传背景具有异质性。近年来,随着原代组织、胚胎干细胞、诱导多能干细胞衍生的体外三维结构类器官和器官微流控芯片技术的不断发展,构建出了与在体器官的结构、功能更为相似的器官克隆模型,能够提供更敏感、定量、规模化的表型分析,更好地应用于眼的发育、生理结构、疾病机制、个性化医学诊断和治疗方法等方面的研究。目前,眼科的微流控器官芯片与类器官技术在角膜、晶状体、泪腺、视网膜结构发育和疾病模型均展现出巨大的应用潜力。
The eye is composed of refractive system and visual nervous system. It is one of the most important sensory organs of the human body. The abnormal development or function of eye tissues may cause various degrees of visual impairment. At present, the pathophysiological mechanism and treatment of eye diseases are mainly explored through animal experiments and in-vitro cell culture. However, they are of certain limitations. The in-vitro cell culture cannot fully reflect the morphological, structural and biochemical characteristics of organs, whereas the animal models are heterogeneous of species and genetic background. In recent years, with the continuous development of in-vitro three-dimensional structure organoids and organ microfluidic organ-on-a-chip technology derived from primary tissues, embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, organ cloning models more similar to in vivo organs in terms of the structure and function have been constructed. These models can provide more sensitive, quantitative and large-scale phenotypic analysis, and can be better applied to the research of eye development, physiological structure, disease mechanism, personalized medical diagnosis and treatment. At present, microfluidic organ-on-a-chip and organoids technologies have shown great application potential in the structural development and disease models’ construction of cornea, lens, lacrimal gland and retina.

原发性干燥综合征(primary Sj?gren’s syndrome,SS)是一种主要累及外分泌腺体的自身免疫性疾病,患者通常因为严重的干眼症状首先就诊于眼科,大多数临床医师对原发性干燥综合征相关性干眼(Sj?gren’s syndrome dry eye disease,SS-DED)认识不足,可能导致漏诊和误诊。侵入性极小的客观检查及生物标志物的发展,将有助于发现SS-DED的真面目,并可能从新的角度阐释其发病机制,为其诊断、分类及治疗提供新的思路。SS-DED的治疗没有特效的药物,大多数患者需接受多种方法的治疗,以了解哪些方法最有效。
Primary Sj?gren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disease that mainly affects exocrine glands. Patients usually refer to ophthalmologists because of severe dry eye symptoms. Most clinicians have insufficient knowledge with dry eye disease associated with primary Sj?gren’s syndrome probably leading to misdiagnosis or missing the diagnosis.The diagnosis of Sj?gren’s syndrome dry eye disease (SS-DED) is difficult, but the extremely invasive objective examination and the development of biomarkers will help to understand this disease and explain its pathogenesis from a new perspective. There is no specific treatment for the SS-DED, and most patients should receive multiple treatments to select the optimal treatment.
甲氨蝶呤(Methotrexate,MTX)是一种叶酸类似物,具有抗增殖、抗炎和免疫调节作用。在临床上广泛用于治疗多种疾病,包括恶性肿瘤和自身免疫性疾病。MTX通过眼局部注射或者全身给药用于眼科疾病的治疗,其安全性和有效性均已被证实。其中玻璃体腔注射可以减少糖皮质激素及免疫抑制剂的全身使用,在眼科的应用越来越广泛。MTX在备孕期男性及女性、妊娠期妇女、哺乳期妇女、儿童、青少年及老年人等特殊患者人群中的应用有其特殊性,用药情况因患者而异。低剂量MTX常见不良反应包括胃肠道症状、肝功能异常等,比较少出现严重的不良反应,但仍应做好药学监护。该篇综述总结MTX的临床使用方法及其不良反应,为其在眼科的临床应用提供参考。
Methotrexate (MTX) is a folate analog with anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects.It is widely used in clinical practice to treat various diseases, including malignant tumors and autoimmune diseases.MTX is used for treating eye diseases by local injection or whole-body administration. Its safety and efficacy have been confirmed. The intravitreal injection can reduce the whole-body use of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive agents, so it is applied in ophthalmology increasingly. The specificity of MTX has been found in its application in special patients, such as men and women in pregnancy preparation period, pregnant women, lactating women, children, adolescents and the elderly. The dosage varies from patient to patient. Common adverse reactions to low-dose MTX include gastrointestinal symptoms, liver dysfunction, etc. Serious adverse reactions are relatively rare, but pharmaceutical monitoring is still necessarily needed. This review summaries the usage and adverse reactions of MTX in clinical practice, to provide reference for its application in clinical practice in ophthalmology.
