ABSTRACT
@#Persistent corneal epithelial defect(PED/PCEDs)is an eye disease that fails to form corneal epithelium rapidly even after 10-14d of corneal injury. Corneal protective epithelial destruction and stromal layer damage can easily lead to eye infection, stromal ulcer, perforation, scar formation, and even blindness. At present, clinicians still face considerable challenges in treating PED patients. Standard treatments such as wearing bandaged contact lenses and using artificial tears, while newly developed drugs can promote the formation of various growth factors to re-form the cornea, and further cooperate with the corresponding surgery to provide innervation for the cornea. In order to achieve the effect of treatment. In addition, treatment should be carried out as soon as possible after the diagnosis of PED to avoid secondary complications. This article reviews the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, clinical manifestation, treatment and prognosis of persistent corneal epithelial defect.
ABSTRACT
@#In a variety of eye diseases, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and other diseases, the occurrence of oxidative stress is very common, oxidative stress can cause cell damage and apoptosis. The Sirtuins family(histone class III deacetylases), as regulators of a variety of cells, is widely expressed in various organs of the human body. Homologous genes of sirtuins(SIRT1)are also widely expressed in the eyes, and their expression and activation can play an anti-oxidative stress role, prevent cell senescence and damage, and thus prevent the progression of disease. This paper discusses the mechanism and expression of Sirtuins family in glaucoma, senile macular degeneration, optic neuritis and senile cataract.
