Patients with Graves' disease (GD) can develop Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), but the underlying pathological mechanisms driving this development remain unclear. In our study, which included patients with GD and GO, we utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and multiplatform analyses to investigate CD169 classical monocytes, which secrete proinflammatory cytokines and are expanded through activated interferon signaling. We found that CD169 clas_mono was clinically significant in predicting GO progression and prognosis, and differentiated into CD169 macrophages that promote inflammation, adipogenesis, and fibrosis.

The aim of this study was to assess the association of generalized obesity [assessed by body mass index (BMI)] and abdominal obesity [assessed by waist to hip ratio (WHR)] with incident DR, and vision-threatening DR (VTDR), and DR progression among Chinese adults with type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM).
Method: This prospective cohort study was conducted at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, from November 2017 to December 2020.
Purpose: To assess the success rate of the formation of functional filtration bleb in eyes undergoing different incision of conjunctiva flap after trabeculectomy.
Methods: To study the formation of functional filtration bleb after trabeculectomy, the result of trabeculectomy with the limbus based conjunctival flap in 165 eyes and the fornix based conjunctival flap in 207 eyes (372 eyes in 372 cases with primary glaucoma in total) was compared.
Results: All patients were observed after trabeculectomy in 1 week, but only 127 eyes were followed up in 3 months.
