Aqueous humour samples were collected pre\u2010operatively, and six cytokines were measured using a Luminex bead\u2010based multiplex assay. Various ocular parameters such as axial length (AL), corneal curvature, and choroidal thickness were assessed. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality testing, group comparisons using parametric or non\u2010parametric tests, and correlation analyses using Pearson or Spearman methods.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Baseline AL demonstrated significant correlations with aqueous interleukin\u20108 (IL\u20108,\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.335,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.004), matrix metalloproteinase\u20102 (MMP\u20102,\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.323,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.006), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF,\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009\u22120.358,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.002). AL elongation over 2\u2009years was significantly associated with baseline AL (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.254,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.032), parafoveal retinal thickness (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009\u22120.239,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.044), and choroidal thickness (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009\u22120.270,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.022). Baseline levels of transforming growth factor\u2010beta2 (TGF\u2010\u03b22) had a significantly independent positive correlation with axial elongation (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.017) and were significantly higher in the rapid elongation group (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.014). The receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis showed that TGF\u2010\u03b22 yielded an AUC of 0.67 for discriminating axial elongation. Significant differences in MMP\u20102 (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.019) and TGF\u2010\u03b22 (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.001) levels were detected among the four subgroups stratified by baseline AL and elongation rate.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n TGF\u2010\u03b22 was significantly associated with axial elongation in high myopic patients receiving ICL implantation surgery and may serve as a candidate biomarker and therapeutic target for myopia progression; however, its predictive value requires further validation.<\/jats:p>\n
