Abstract
Retinoblastoma (RB) is a rare aggressive intraocular malignancy of childhood that has the potential to affect vision, and can even be fatal in some children. While the tumor can be controlled efficiently at early stages, metastatic tumors lead to high mortality. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are implicated in a number of physiological cellular process, including differentiation, proliferation, migration, and invasion, The deregulation of ncRNAs is correlated with several diseases, particularly cancer. ncRNAs are categorized into two main groups based on their length, i.e. short and long ncRNAs. Moreover, ncRNA deregulation has been demonstrated to play a role in the pathogenesis and development of RB. Several ncRNAs, such as miR-491-3p, miR-613,and SUSD2 have been found to act as tumor suppressor genes in RB, but other ncRNAs, such as circ-E2F3, NEAT1, and TUG1 act as tumor promoter genes. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of ncRNAs can provide new opportunities for RB therapy. In the present review, we discuss the functional roles of the most important ncRNAs in RB, their interaction with the genes responsible for RB initiation and progression, and possible future clinical applications as diagnostic and prognostic tools or as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal chemotherapy for refractory vitreous seeding from retinoblastoma. Methods: Retrospective series of case studies. Nine patients (13 eyes) with the diagnosis of refractory vitreous seeding were enrolled in Department of Ophthalmology of Eye& ENT Hospital of Fudan University from March 2014 to October 2015.There were 6 males and 3 females. Children aged 8 to 40 months, median age of 18 months. In the 13 eyes, 3 eyes were E period, 9 eyes were D period, and 1 eyes were C period. The fundus was examined by indirect ophthalmoscope and recorded by RetcamIII. Systemic chemotherapy was performed using the VEC protocol, that is vincristine, etoposide, and carboplatin. Local treatment also involves cryotherapy and/or thermotherapy. All patients were treated with intravitreal injection of melphalan. They underwent intravitreal melphalan, once every 4 weeks, with an average of 3 times of injections. The treatment dose of melphalan is 20 to 40 μg per dose. Observe the vitreous seed control and complications of therapy. Results: Vitreous seeds control was attained in all cases. There was no case of orbital extension or remote metastasis. Complications included retinal pigment epithelial and choroidal atrophy in 7 eyes, pupillary synechia and iris atrophy in 2 eyes,retinal vasculitis and vascular occlusion in 2 eyes, optic atrophy in 2 eyes, vitreous hemorrhage in 1 eye, and temporary hypotony in 3 eyes. Conclusions: Intravitreal melphalan is an effective treatment for refractory vitreous seeding from retinoblastoma. High dose may lead to local adverse reactions.

Abstract
Retinoblastoma is one of the more highly invasive and common intraocular malignancies of childhood. Treatment in most of the cases consists of enucleation followed by placement of orbital implants. Prosthetic rehabilitation is especially challenging in younger and precooperative pediatric patients. The following case report describes the rehabilitation of a 4-year-old child with retinoblastoma, with an ocular prosthesis fabricated by a simplified technique.
