概括
黑色生菌弹性 (PXE) 患者在杆状和状功能方面表现出晚期适应黑暗,特别是在化区域. 暗适应度可以帮助监测PXE进展,并指导早期治疗.
科学领域:
- 眼科医生 眼科 眼科
- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
- 医疗成像医学成像
背景情况:
- 伪松弹性 (PXE) 是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,其特征是布鲁赫膜 (BrM) 的化.
- 在PXE中的BrM化会导致逐渐的视力丧失,特别是影响中央视力.
- 了解BrM化的功能影响对于开发针对PXE的向疗法至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 调查PXE患者中杆状形功能障碍的患病率和空间分布.
- 在PXE患者中,将视觉功能缺陷与布鲁赫膜化程度相关联.
- 评估暗适配度作为监测PXE进展的工具的实用性.
主要方法:
- 一项前性自然史研究 (PROPXE) 涉及26名通过Plomp标准诊断的PXE患者.
- 综合眼科评估,包括最佳校正视敏度 (BCVA),对比度灵敏度和多式成像.
- 在罗多素漂白后,在各种异常度进行暗适配测试,重点是眼睛没有或有先前的排泄性黄斑新血管化 (MNV).
主要成果:
- 在8°偏心处,在83.3%的非眼和92.9%的眼中观察到延迟棒截取时间 (RIT).
- 在65.4%的眼睛中,形值受到影响,而在8度偏心时,BCVA受到影响较少 (42.3%).
- RIT延迟在容易化的地区最为明显,并且随着年龄的增长而增加;长时间的形恢复与RIT相关.
结论:
- PXE患者在杆和介导的黑暗适应性都表现出显著的损害,特别是在BrM化区域.
- 暗适应度和BrM化评估是评估PXE严重性的有价值的临床工具.
- 这些评估可以促进PXE的早期干预,可能防止排泄性MNV或缩.

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

The color of the skin is influenced by a number of pigments, including melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin. Recall that melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found scattered throughout the stratum basale of the epidermis. The melanin is transferred to the keratinocytes via melanosomes.
Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...
