Summary: This study investigated the distribution of axial length (AL) and posterior staphyloma (PS) in congenital cataract (CC) patients. It also evaluated the correlation between AL and the concentration of tissue transglutaminase (TGM2) in the aqueous humor (AH) of cataractous eyes. The results showed that the presence of PS in congenital cataractous eyes was 11.02% and the presence of PS + LAL was 29.06%. The concentration of TGM2 in the AH was positively correlated with AL in the patients' eyes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the shape of the optic nerve head margin detected by OCT and the clinical characteristics of glaucomatous eyes with papillomacular retinoschisis (PMRS). The study found significant differences in the clinical features between eyes with externally oblique ONH margin and internally oblique ONH margin. The mechanism of PMRS development may differ in these two groups.

Summary: This study aimed to identify differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in the aqueous humor of keratoconus (KC) eyes and explore their potential roles in KC pathophysiology. Next-generation sequencing revealed 14 differentially expressed miRNAs, with potential involvement in antigen processing, endocytosis, mismatch repair, and Hippo signaling. The concentrations of miR-222-3p, miR-3633p, and miR-423-5p in the aqueous humor could serve as potential KC biomarkers.

Summary: In this study, concentrations of various cytokines in the aqueous humor of eyes with circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH) were compared with a control group. Results showed higher concentrations of VEGF-A and IP-10 in CCH patients, indicating their involvement in the angiogenic and antiangiogenic processes. This provides new insights into the pathophysiology of CCH and suggests potential targets for treatment.

Summary: In this paper, a 3D human eyes aqueous humor (AH) dynamics model was presented and optimized using GPU technology. The feasibility of the model was demonstrated through validation, and the effect of different factors on AH flow was investigated. Results showed that AH flow more rapidly when standing, intraocular temperature had the greatest effect on AH flow, and AH secretion rate and trabecular meshwork (TM) permeability had a greater effect on intraocular pressure (IOP). Corneal indentation and ovoid anterior chamber (AC) also affected AH flow. Finally, the PartSparse algorithm based GPU achieved significant memory savings and improved performance.

Summary: In patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration, changes in predictive cytokines can be used as biomarkers for predicting the occurrence of macula atrophy, with substantial loss of interferon-?-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) effects and persistent inflammation playing an important role in the incidence of macula atrophy.

Summary: This study examined the exosomal protein profile of patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and found significant differences in the exosomal proteins between AMD patients and controls. The exosomal proteins in AMD patients were enriched in the lipoprotein metabolic process. Additionally, the study observed a decrease in the amount of two proteins in AMD patients receiving anti-VEGF therapy with longer treatment duration.

Summary: In wet AMD patients, inflammatory cytokines were significantly elevated in the aqueous humor and correlated with OCT findings. Patients with subretinal fluid had lower levels of proinflammatory cytokines, indicating a better prognosis. Different types of AMD patients exhibited distinct patterns of cytokine expression.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum levels of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and disease characteristics, activity, damage, or severity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The results showed that TGF-β1 serum levels were associated with disease severity and activity, with ocular and cardiovascular manifestations positively correlated, while gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal involvements negatively correlated with circulating TGF-β1 levels.

Summary: This study found that specific cytokine levels in the aqueous humor are associated with the development of peripheral anterior synechiae after corneal transplantation, leading to refractory glaucoma and vision loss. Inflammatory alterations in the aqueous humor microenvironment may play a key role in the formation of peripheral anterior synechiae and glaucoma.

Summary: The study reviewed the efficacy and safety of in-office probing compared with facility-based probing for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Both in-office and facility-based surgeries were found to be effective and safe, with facility setting potentially better for treating bilateral NLDO. Additional research is needed to further examine the impact of anesthesia and emotional trauma on patients and the cost of treatment for each method.
