Abstract
BACKGROUND:The sustained-release intravitreal 0.7 mg dexamethasone implant (DEX implant) (Ozurdex®, Allergan®, an AbbVie Company, North Chicago, Illinois, USA) is widely used to treat various inflammatory retinal disorders. Notably, its application is expanding in the field of vitreoretinal surgery. METHODS:We conducted a comprehensive literature search across the Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, and ScienceDirect databases for articles related to Ozurdex and its applications in vitreoretinal disorders. Additionally, relevant studies were identified from the reference lists of retrieved articles. Our search was limited to studies written in English or those in other languages that provided an English abstract with sufficient information. RESULTS:Multiple studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of the DEX implant across a broad spectrum of vitreoretinal and post-surgical conditions. Notably, the implant's unique pharmacokinetics remain largely unaffected by the vitrectomized status of the eye, ensuring consistent effectiveness in vitreoretinal surgery. Our research highlights the primary off-label applications of the DEX implant, which include epiretinal membrane (ERM), rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), post-surgical cystoid macular edema (PSCME), and refractory diabetic macular edema (DME). CONCLUSION:This review highlights the increasing role of the DEX implant in vitreoretinal surgery, emphasizing its effectiveness and safety in various surgical and post-surgical settings, while also addressing associated complications.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
