ABSTRACT
Oxidative stress(OS)is a major reason for body damage. Studies have shown that a variety of factors, such as ischemia and hypoxia, excessive light and hyperglycemia can cause the increase of reactive oxygen species and free radicals in the retina, thus inducing OS, damaging retina and affecting the normal visual function. Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(KEAP1)and nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2(NRF2), which together constitute the main antioxidant stress signaling pathway in the body, play an antioxidant role by regulating retinal energy metabolism and cell proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy through various ways, so as to reduce retinal damage caused by OS. In this paper, the role and mechanism of the KEAP1-NRF2 signaling pathway regulation of OS in the retinal are briefly reviewed, aiming to provide ideas for subsequent research.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To systematically evaluate the effects of low-energy red light on choroidal thickness(ChT), spherical equivalent(SE), and axial length(AL)in myopic children.METHODS: A total of 8 databases, including Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Database, VIP Database and China Biomedical Literature Database, were electronically retrieved to collect the clinical randomized controlled trial(RCT)of low-energy red light in myopia, with red light intervention as an experimental group and glasses as a control group. The retrieval time limit is from the establishment of the database to January 2023. According to the recommendation of the Cochrane Handbook, literature quality and risk of bias were evaluated. Revman5.4 software was used for Meta-analysis.RESULTS: Totally 8 RCT about red-light treatment with myopia were included. The sample size for ChT analysis contained 407 eyes in the red-light group and 425 eyes in the control group; SE analysis included 490 eyes in the red-light group and 518 eyes in the control group; sample size for AL analysis were 518 eyes in the red-light group and 539 eyes in the control group. The differences in ChT, SE and AL between the groups were statistically significant(ChT: WMD=37.81, 95%CI: 21.55～54.07, P<0.001; SE: WMD=0.58, 95%CI: 0.46～0.71, P<0.001; AL: WMD=-0.31, 95%CI: -0.39～-0.24, P<0.001).CONCLUSION: Specific red light can promote the increase of ChT while inhibit SE and AL. However, its long-term efficacy and side effects remain unclear. The above conclusions need to be further clarified by more RCT with large samples.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To systematically evaluate the effects of 0.01%, 0.025% and 0.05% ophthalmic atropine on the change of spherical equivalent(SE)degree and axial length(AL)of myopic children. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP and CBM were searched for all publications related to 0.01%, 0.025% and 0.05% atropine to control myopia simultaneously. The publication time is from the database construction to May 2022. The Cochrane handbook was used to evaluate the risk of bias and quality of the included literature, STATA12.0 was used to detect publication bias and Revman5.4 software was used for Meta-analysis. RESULTS: A total of 6 literatures(1 239 eyes)were included, with 5 randomized controlled trials and 1 case-control study. Meta-analysis results showed that 0.025% atropine had better inhibitory effect on SE and AL than 0.01% atropine(SE: WMD=-0.15, 95%CI: -0.23--0.06, P<0.001; AL: WMD=0.07, 95%CI: 0.03-0.10, P<0.001). The inhibitory effect of 0.05% atropine on SE and AL was better than 0.01% atropine(SE: WMD=-0.35, 95%CI: -0.44--0.26, P<0.001; AL: WMD=0.16, 95%CI: 0.12-0.20, P<0.001). The inhibitory effect of 0.05% atropine on SE and AL increase was better than 0.025% atropine(SE: WMD=-0.20, 95%CI: -0.28--0.11, P<0.001; AL: WMD=0.09, 95%CI: 0.06-0.12, P<0.001). CONCLUSION: The concentration of 0.05% atropine is superior to 0.01% and 0.025% atropine in the control of SE and AL. However, the side effects of long-term use remain to be observed.
