Asteroid hyalitis is an uncommon condition in which small, solid, stellate, spherical or disk-shaped bodies are suspended in a substantially normal vitreous. The opacities occurs in strands or as discrete bodies without orderly arrangement. These move when the eyes move but always return to their original position. The authors experienced one case of asteroid hyalitis associated with arteriosclerosis and hypertension. so we report this with brief review of the literature.

3.Evaluation of thickness of vascular wall and artherosclerosis in patients in Ho Chi Minh center for Hematology and Blood Transfussion.
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;232(1):30-39
We selected randomly 368 patients including 162 males and 206 females. Mean age are 57.91+/- 11.81 years (41 to 80 years). There are 244 hypertensive patients (66.49%); 312 patients with increase of intima thickness (84.78%); 173 patients with plaque on the arterial wall (47.4%). The intima median thickness is 1.17 +/- 0.347 mm. For patients upon 30 years either the normal or high blood pressure, the older they are, the higher the risk of the injured arteial wall is. An aldult upon 30 years without hypertension is still able to have 73.7% of atherosclerosis (p<0.001). The arterial wall of male is often easily effected more than of female (p<0.001).

6.Chlamydia pneumonia, infectious hypothesis of arteriosclerosis and antibiotic therapy
Journal of Medical Research 2002;18(2):59-60
The disadvantage factors related with arteriosclerosis including less moving, obesity, alcohol and smoking. Recently, there has been a "nonlipid" factor of cardiovascular disease - chlamydia pneumonia infection. In order to prevent from late complication of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease due to the chlamydia pneumonia, it should use macrolid, tetracycline and quinolon in case of chlamydia pneumonia infection. The Beta-latamine has no effect on chlamydia pneumonia infection

7.Some opinions of coagulation in artherosclerosis.
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 2001;267(12):40-43
A hemotasis study of 93 cases of arteriosclerosis in Vietnames patients showed: -A hemorrhage tendency of extrinsic pathway abnormalities. -A thrombotic tendency by increasing fibrinogen, factor VII,factor VIII. The C reactive protein (CRP), specific for inflammatory process can be used for evaluation of physiopathology and plaque evolution.

Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;463(10):7-10
The study on the relationship between systole pressure index (SPI) in arm and ankle having cardiovascular risk and antherosclerosis side-effect of increasing pressure patients shows: there is an exist of inverse relationship between SPI having cardiovascular risk and clinical signals and pre-clinical signals as well of having cardiovascular of high pressure patients. SPI reduced in high pressure patients. The more SPI decreases, the higher of cardiovascular risk is. SPI is a reliable index to diagnose leg artery. SPI lower than 1 is a factor strictly relating to antherosclerosis side-effect

In stroke patients, excessive oxidative stress impairs brain nerve cells and leads to arteriosclerosis. On
the other hand, rehabilitative exercise is necessary for the functional improvement and maintenance
after stroke, and exercises themselves increase reactive oxygen species production simultaneously.
Therefore, it is essential to elucidate how exercises influence oxidative stress in stroke patients. We
assessed the effects of exercises on 29 Japanese subacute-phase stroke patients (exercise group, 20;
control group, 9), in terms of oxidative stress by examining changes in reactive oxygen metabolite
(ROM) level (i.e., oxidative stress) and biological antioxidant potential (BAP) level (i.e., antioxidant
capacity) in blood plasma. The exercise group performed two sets of 1-hour exercises 6 days/week for
56 days. The control group performed the same 1-hour exercises, but only on days 1 and 56. ROM and
BAP levels in blood plasma in both groups were measured immediately before and after the exercises
and at rest on days 1 and 56. ROM level significantly decreased and BAP level significantly increased
at rest from days 1 to 56 in the exercise group. However, no significant change was observed in these
levels in the control group.
Conclusion: Regular rehabilitative exercise can improve antioxidant capacity and attenuate oxidative
stress even in stroke patients.
