Abstract

Aims: To detect macrophage-like cells (MLCs) in uveitis patients and describe their characteristics compared to healthy subjects by using en face SS-OCTA.

Methods: Fifteen consecutive patients with "active" uveitis and 11 healthy participants underwent 6 macular scans of 6×6mm using SS-OCTA. The 3μm en face OCT slabs on inner limiting membrane were used to visualize the MLCs.

Results: In healthy subjects there was an average of 478.2±149.7 MLCs with a density of 13.28±4.16 cells/mm². MLCs were larger in patients with "active" uveitis than in controls (891.18±69.46 µm² vs.885±77.53 µm²). Patients with "active" anterior uveitis had a significantly reduced count and density of MLCs (172±14.68 and 4.77±0.4 cell/mm²) compared to controls, while patients with posterior uveitis had a statistically increased count (546.1±132.4) and area (909.23+/-54.97 µm²) of MLCs compared to controls.

Conclusions: MLCs detected with en face SS-OCTA are increased in number and size in active posterior uveitis eyes compared to controls.

利用面扫光源光学相干断层成像技术观察葡萄膜炎患者体内的巨噬细胞。

目的：使用en face SS-OCTA检测葡萄膜炎患者的巨噬细胞样细胞（MLCs），并描述其与健康人相比的特征：方法：15 名 "活动性 "葡萄膜炎患者和 11 名健康参与者接受了 6 次 6×6mm 的 SS-OCTA 黄斑扫描。结果：在健康受试者中，内缘膜上的 3μm en face OCT 厚片平均厚度为 0.5 mm，而在活动性葡萄膜炎患者中，平均厚度为 0.5 mm：健康受试者平均有 478.2±149.7 个 MLCs，密度为 13.28±4.16 cells/mm2。活动性 "葡萄膜炎患者的 MLC 比对照组大（891.18±69.46 µm2 对 885±77.53 µm2）。与对照组相比，"活动性 "前葡萄膜炎患者的 MLCs 数量和密度（172±14.68 和 4.77±0.4 cell/mm2）明显减少，而与对照组相比，后葡萄膜炎患者的 MLCs 数量（546.1±132.4）和面积（909.23+/-54.97 µm2）均有统计学意义的增加：与对照组相比，活动性后葡萄膜炎患者眼球内SS-OCTA检测到的MLC在数量和大小上都有所增加。
