Gene therapy in ocular diseases 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Gene therapy is a novel form of drug delivery that enlists the synthetic machinery of the patient's cells to produce a therapeutic agent. Genes may be delivered into cells in vitro or in vivo utilising viral or non-viral vectors. Recent technical advances have led to the demonstration of the molecular basis of various ocular diseases. Ocular disorders with the greatest potential for benefit of gene therapy include hereditary diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, tumours such as retinoblastoma or melanoma, and acquired proliferative and neovascular retinal disorders. Gene transfer into ocular tissues has been demonstrated with growing functional success and may develop into a new therapeutic tool for clinical ophthalmology in future. 相似文献

The 77th meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) presented the latest developments in clinical research and practice across a range of ophthalmic disciplines. Of particular interest was the current status of research in dry eye and ocular allergy. With these conditions being very common to ophthalmologists, and the fact that they are difficult to differentiate due to the number of overlapping symptoms, there remains a need for more rapid and accurate methods for their diagnosis. Therefore, a number of new tools were presented that have the potential for use in clinical trials and practice to improve the diagnosis and assessment of dry eye and ocular allergy. Some of these tools have been developed based on a greater understanding of the pathophysiology of dry eye and ocular allergy, and the various molecular pathways involved. Indeed, a greater understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of dry eye and ocular allergy has identified potential targets for the treatment of these conditions. Continuing research into new agents can provide ophthalmologists with a number of options that will ultimately benefit the patient. 相似文献

Radiation therapy, although a prime treatment modality for malignant disease, has few definitive indications for some benign ocular diseases too. Orbital pseudotumour, Graves ophthalmopathy and pterygium are the conditions where the radiation oncologist has got an important role to play. This article reviews the current status of the role of radiation and its effectiveness in the management of these diseases. 相似文献

The authors review the current literature, regarding the efficacy and safety of new methods of therapy for ocular inflammatory autoimmune diseases: scleritis, pemphigoid and uveitis. Immunomodulation therapy is increasingly being used in various ocular inflammatory diseases, to avoid the effects of long-term steroid and immunosuppressive therapy and to induce remission in chronic disease. This therapy seems to be effective specially in treating resistant disease with relative safety. New approaches to therapy of intraocular inflammatory diseases will emphasize less immunosuppressive drugs and modification of the immune system with anti-MHC II, anti-adhesion molecules, anticytokines monoclonal antibodies, therapy with cytokines antagonists, intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, INF alpha therapy, antigen specific tolerating therapy and gene therapy. Advances in the understanding of pathogenesis and in diagnostic techniques in various ocular inflammatory entities, will serve as a driving force for these new methods of treatment. 相似文献

Ocular snake-bite injuries are quite rare away from natural habitats. However, when exotic animals are kept in captivity, the injuries sustained and their management can pose challenges when they present to their local eye department. This report describes an atypical eye injury inflicted by a python and its successful management involving surgical, laser and medical interventions. The case highlights the possible pitfalls resulting from the unusual mechanism of injury and the steps to avoid them. The article goes on to discuss the background of the injuries that can be caused by venomous and non-venomous snakes. 相似文献

水通道蛋白(aquaporin,AQP)是一类广泛存在于哺乳动物上皮和内皮细胞膜上的特异性转运水蛋白,在眼部组织中大量存在,并参与包括维持眼压、促进上皮修复等在内的一系列病理生理过程.近年研究发现,其与眼科疾病的发生发展也密不可分,AQP0广泛大量存在于晶状体中,其基因突变导致先天性白内障发生,其后天表达改变会导致年龄相关性白内障的加速发展;眼内介导水分运输的AQP表达失调,会导致糖尿病视网膜病变的黄斑水肿、青光眼的高眼压及葡萄膜炎、视神经炎等一系列与水分子运输失衡相关的眼病.如果在眼内可以使用安全有效的技术手段从数量及空间分布上改变AQP的表达,这很可能成为治疗眼科疾病的一个新靶点. 相似文献

Pericytes and ocular diseases 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Pericytes are vascular mural cells which play multiple roles in angiogenesis and maintenance of blood vessel morphology and stability. In this review, we analyze recent data on the participation of pericytes in the pathogenesis of proliferative and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, as well as an emerging role in other angiogenic ocular diseases such as retinopathy of prematurity. Ways to exploit pericytes as targets for treatment of ocular diseases are discussed. 相似文献

《The ocular surface》2020,18(4):706-712
PurposeThere is growing evidence for a critical role of the microbiome in ocular health and disease. We performed a prospective, observational study to characterize the ocular surface microbiome (OSM) in four chronic ocular surface diseases (OSDs) and healthy controls.MethodsSterile swabs were used to collect samples from each eye of 39 patients (78 eyes). Sterile technique and multiple controls were used to assess contamination during DNA extraction, amplification and sequencing. Concurrent use of topical antibiotics, steroids, and bandage contact lenses (BCLs) was documented.ResultsDespite the low biomass of the ocular surface, 47/78 (60%) eyes sampled had positive sequencing reads. We observed that half of patients (8/17, 47%) had distinct microbiomes in each eye. Healthy controls had a Lactobacillus/Streptococcus mixture or significant Corynebacterium. Staphylococcus predominated in 4/7 (57%) patients with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) in at least one eye, compared to 0/10 healthy controls. Interestingly, 8/11 (73%) eyes with SJS were using BCLs, including 4/5 (80%) eyes dominated by Staphylococcus. Lax eyelid syndrome (LES) and Dry Eye Disease (DED) patients had similar OSMs, with Corynebacterium being the most prevalent bacteria. Alpha diversity was higher in controls and ocular graft-vs-host (oGVHD) patients compared to the other OSDs.ConclusionsOnly 50% of the 39 patients had similar microbiomes in each eye. A majority of healthy eyes had a Lactobacillus/Streptococcus mix or Corynebacterium microbiome. Staphylococcus predominated in SJS, Lactobacillus in oGVHD, and Corynebacterium in DED and LES. There may be an association between different OSDs and the microbiome. 相似文献
