Objective: To evaluate systemic inflammatory markers in cases of exogenous endophthalmitis caused by metal foreign bodies after penetrating eye injury and identify risk factors for poor control post-initial emergency surgery.

Methods: Twenty-nine patients with exogenous endophthalmitis underwent emergency surgery with vitrectomy at Xiamen Eye Center (2016-2024). Evaluations included systemic inflammatory markers, microbiology, clinical presentation, treatment strategies, complications, prognostic factors, and visual outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of cystoid macular edema (CME) following vitrectomy alone and after cataract surgery in patients with either rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) or idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM).
  • A total of 498 eyes were examined, revealing that post-vitrectomy CME occurred significantly more in ERM cases (12.8%) than in RRD cases (1%).
  • The findings suggest that eyes previously treated for ERM face a greater risk of developing CME after cataract surgery, indicating that the changes caused by ERM might increase susceptibility to this condition.

Background: This study evaluated the clinical data on ophthalmic follow-up and treatment efficacy of hereditary vitreoretinal amyloidosis kindred due to transthyretin Gly83Arg variant over a 15-year follow-up period.

Methods: The clinical data of patients with hereditary ATTRG83R amyloidosis from 2006 to 2021 were analysed retrospectively. Sanger sequencing of the transthyretin gene, detailed medical history, pedigree charting, and systemic and ophthalmic examinations were carried out in all patients.

Article Synopsis
  • The study addresses the increasing issue of negative emotions in diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients after vitrectomy, highlighting that emotional problems can hinder recovery.
  • It examines 146 DR patients treated at a hospital from May 2021 to April 2023, assessing their anxiety and depression levels shortly after surgery.
  • Key findings indicate that female gender, lower income, and longer diabetes duration increase the risk of negative emotions, with higher blood glucose levels also correlated with worse psychological outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on comparing axial length (AL) and its effect on vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (VTDR) in different age groups—young (≤ 45 years) and elderly (> 45 years).
  • It analyzed data from 736 patients with VTDR, revealing that younger patients had longer AL but worse clinical outcomes, such as a higher incidence of tractional retinal detachment (TRD) and recurrent vitreous hemorrhage (VH).
  • For the elderly group, longer AL offered protective benefits against TRD, indicating that age and AL significantly impact the prognosis of VTDR.
