Objective To observe the effects of chemotherapy on the peripheral blood lymphocyte sub-cluster in patients with ovarian cancer .Methods Sixty-two patients with ovarian cancer who accepted chemo-therapy from Jan 2007 to Mar 2013 in our hospital were collected .Sixty healthy women in our hospital were used as control.The expressions of CD3,CD4,CD8 and CD25 in peripheral blood lymphocyte of ovarian cancer patients before,one week and one month after chemotherapy and healthy women were detected and analyzed .Results The ratio of CD3 +and CD4 +T cells and CD4 +/CD8 +in patients with ovarian cancer were significantly lower than those in healthy .Whereas the ratio of CD4 +CD25 +T cells in patients with ovarian cancer was significantly higher than that in healthy women .No significant differences were observed in ovarian cancer patients with differ-ent clinical stage .There were no significant changes that observed one week after chemotherapy in patients with o -varian cancer .These indexes improved notably one month after chemotherapy .These indexes in effective group one month after chemotherapy were significantly better than those in inefficient group .Conclusion The ratio of pe-ripheral blood lymphocyte sub -cluster in patients with ovarian cancer was imbalance .Dynamic monitoring the changes could guide the therapy and judge the curative effect and prognosis .

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can cause irreversible severe visual impairment.At present,a large number of basic and clinical research has documented several effective treatment for wet AMD.As for dry AMD,so far there is no effective therapy and preventive measure.Dry AMD probably worse for macular choroidal neovascularization (CNV) or geographic atrophy (GA) to its later stage,resulting in severe visual impairment.In recent years,some promising treatment strategies are emerging,mainly in the prevention of the damage of photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelium,such as drug therapy,laser photocoagulation,surgery,plasma exchange,stem cell transplantation and gene therapy.These therapies are expected to be able to bring hope for arresting the development of dry AMD.This article reviews the current researches and possible future management of dry AMD.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of the irreversible vision loss in population over 55 years of age.With the increasingly serious problem of aging,the prevalence of AMD is rising year by year.However,as the pathogenesis of dry AMD is largely unknown,the effective therapy still is lack.Given that there was a lack of proper animal models,it brought about obstacles to researches about molecular mechanism underlying dry AMD.Nowadays,lots of murine models of dry AMD have been established and developed,which provide suitable tools for relevant researches.But,different dry AM D models show varied pathogenesis features,and a reasonable choice of models is very important for different studies.The characteristics of different dry models were reviewed in this article.
