我国近五年葡萄膜炎临床与基础研究进展

Recent advances in clinical and basic studies of uveitis in China in the last five years

葡萄膜炎是一类常见的致盲眼病,其病因复杂,种类繁多。我国眼科工作者对葡萄膜炎的诊断、治疗及基础研究给予了高度重视。近年来,我国一些大城市先后成立了葡萄膜炎专科或葡萄膜炎研究中心。过去5年中公开发表的594篇学术文章内容主要集中在病因、治疗、基础研究、并发症以及新的诊断技术等方面。虽然葡萄膜炎的临床诊断和治疗水平明显提高、基础研究也取得了较大的进展,但是仍然存在着一些问题,如免疫抑制剂的合理应用和制定个体化的治疗方案。加深对葡萄膜炎的认识、更新知识及改变陈旧观念,将有助于提高葡萄膜炎的诊治水平。

Uveitis is one of the most important causes of blindness throughout the world. Its etiology and patbogenesis are rather complicated and have not been well understood. Chinese ophthalmologists have paid much attention to the studies on the patbogenesis, treatment and prevention of uveitis and great achievement has been obtained during recent years. However, there are still misunderstandings and undue treatment in the field of uveitis. A large number of uveitis entities are inappropriately or simply diagnosed as uveitis, thereby leading to a uniform treatment for these patients. Furthermore, abuse of corticosteroids is still rather common. Therefore, it is necessary to popularize the modern knowledge of uveitis among Chinese ophthalmologists and to improve basic and clinical uveitis studies in China.
