Costimulatory signals have become a hot field in immunological researches. As co-inhibitory molecules, programmed death-1 ( PD-1) and its ligands (PD-1/PD-L) have been demonstrated to play an important role in autoimmune disease, organ transplant rejection, microorganism infection, tumor immune escapes etc. . In recent years,some studies about PD-1/PD-L pathway in ophthalmology have been curried out and reported. Some changes were found in PD-1/PD-L pathway, such as ocular immunologic diseases, ocular infectious diseases, ocular tumors, immune privilege in ocular tissues and so on. Through the research on PD-1/PD-L pathway,we can further understand the pathogenesis of some ocular diseases and find new methods for their prevention and treatments. This article reviewed the recent advances in PD-1/PD-L pathway in ophthalmological physiopathology.

Dopa preparations are currently first choice for the clinical treatment of Parkinson' s disease. With the application time extension and the dose increase of dopa preparations, the therapeutic effect is smaller and smaller, while the side effects are more and more significant, which have become the main problems affecting their clinical application. The current researches showed that the combination of traditional Chinese medicines and dopa preparations can improve the efficacy, decrease the dose of western medicines, reduce the adverse effects and so on. The paper reviewed the progress in the combination of dopa preparations and traditional Chinese medicines in the treatment of Parkinson' s disease in recent ten years.

Chinese Journal of Digestion 2011;31(9):577-581
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and currently treatment status of intractable ulcerative colitis (IUC). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of inflammatory bowel disease patients, who were hospitalized in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, from January 1999 to December 2009. According to the reaction to glucosteroids (GCS) treatment, they were divided into GCS effective group and intractable group. The general data, lesion, clinical symptoms and laboratory findings of these two groups were compared.Further treatments and the results of intractable group were analyzed. Results Totally 234 UC patients were enrolled, of which 37.6% (88/234) patients received GCS treatment, intractable group and effective group took up 23.9% (21/88) and 76.1% (67/88) respectively. There was no significant difference of lesion between two groups (P>0.05). Compared with effective group, the proportion of intractable group was higher in moderately severe bellyache[38. 1 % (8/21) vs 13. 4% (9/67), P=0.012, OR=3.97, 95%CI:1.29~12.23], anemia[61.9%(13/21) vs 32.8%(22/67), P=0.018,OR=3.32, 95%CI:1.20~9.20], thrombocytosis[57.1%(12/21) vs 29.9%(20/67), P=0.023,OR=3.13, 95% CI: 1.14 ~8.61]and hypoalbuminemia[38.1 % (8/21) vs 11.9% (8/67), P=0.007, OR=4.54, 95%CI: 1.44~ 14.32]. Some patients of intractable group could be remission through extending period of GCS treatment, adding the immunomodulators or biological agents and intestinal segment excision. Conclusion UC patients with moderately severe bellyache, anemia,thrombocytosis, hypoalbuminemia at the onset of disease, which may indicate relatively poor response to GCS treatment. Immunomodulators, biological agents and surgery are the further treatment for IUC patients.
