At present, the immunological tolerance in transplantation induced by multi-mechanisms, to inhibit the chronic graft rejection, represents an important trend in the field of transplantation. This review summarizes the new researches about immune and non-immune factors in this field. At the same time, this review also discusses that the high-dose vitamin E, through changing the ratio of Th/Ts in vivo and not improving the level of specific-antibody, regulates the immune system. In addition, the potent antioxidation of vitamin E has advantage to release the oxidate press of tissue and the damage of blood vessels. In the end, the reporter prospects the signification of vitamin E to inhibit the chronic graft rejection and points out the potential questions.

Objective To explore the influence of stereoscopic vision on the development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after intraocular lens implantation. The efficacy of Nd: YAG laser was studied. Design Case-controlled study. Participants 57 consecutive patients with POC(59 eyes with phacoemulsification and IOL implantation). Methods A prospective observational study was conducted comprising 57 patients (59 eyes) who had postoperative PCO. Neodymium: YAG (Nd: YAG) laser posterior capsulatomy was performed on all patients following a standardizes procedure. Preoperative and postoperative evaluation included LogMAR visual acuity, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity and stereoscopic vision. Main Outcome Measures LogMAR visual acuity, BCVA, contrast sensitivity and stereoscopic vision. Results The average LogMAR eyesight median of sick eye before laser treatment was (0.22?0.31) and the contrast sensitive degree of each frequency area was relatively lower than the opposite eye; After the treatment, there was evident improvement of the sick eye, and the LogMAR eyesight median of that was 0.00; The ratio of reaching the central spatial eyesight and the average sharpness degree both improve much than ahead of treatment. Those whose spatial eyesight sharpness don't get normal after the low best remedy eyesight. Irregular dipodic and previous eye disease. Conclusions LogMAR visual acuity, BCVA, contrast sensitivity and stereoscopic vision were damaged markedly with PCO. Our results indicate that Nd: YAG capsulotomy may affect the reconstruction of stereoscopic vision. Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is a valuable and clinically relevant method for clinical treatment of PCO.

Objective To study the characteristics of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in idiopathic macular epiretinal membranes (IMEM) and the relationship between the thickness of fovea and the vision of affected eyes. Methods Total of 67 cases (73 eyes) with clinical diagnosis of IMEM by direct, indirect ophthalmoscopy, three mirror contact lens, fundus color photography or fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA) were examined with OCT. Results Epiretinal membranes(ERMs) with macular edema were found in 32 eyes, proliferative ERMs in 20 eyes, ERMs with macular pseudoholes in 14 eyes and ERMs with laminar macular holes in 7 eyes. Based on OCT, the ERMs were clearly and partially seperated from the retina (27 eyes, 38.36%), the retinal thickness of the fovea was the thickest in proliferative ERMs and the thinnest in ERMs with laminar macular holes. The statistical analysis showed there was a negative correlation between the thickness of fovea and visual acuity (r=-0.454, P= 0.000 ). Conclusion There were four types of image of OCT in IMEM: ERMs with macular edema, proliferative ERMs, ERMs with macular pseudohole and ERMs with laminar macular hole;and the thicker the fovea under the OCT, the poorer the visual acnity in the affected eyes with ERMs.

Objective To investigate the clinical values of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in combination with TDI in diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and impaired diastolic function in elderly hypertensive patients. Methods The 140 elderly hypertensive patients were divided into LVH group (n=69) and NLVH group (n=71). Control group consisted of 50 normal subjects. Plasma BNP level and index of echocardiography, including mitral peak flow velocity during early and late diastole (E, A), ratio of E/A, average peak velocities of six LV wall sites at mitral annuluses during early and late diastole (MEm, MAm), ratios of MEm/MAm and E/MEm were measured in all patients. The correlation of plasma BNP level with cardiac ultrasonographic findings was also examined. Results The level of BNP [(61.64±37.18)ng/L, (138. 65±30. 23)ng/L] and the ratio of E/MEm (11.3±1.83, 15.7±1.45) were significantly higher in NLVH group and LVH group than in normal group (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). MEm [(6.32±0. 94)cm/s, (4.29±0. 91)cm/s]and MEm/MAm (0.76±0.19, 0.51±0. 11) were significantly lower in NLVH and LVH group than in normal group (P<0.05 or P<0. 01). The BNP level was negatively correlated with E/A, MEm and MEm/MAm (r=- 0. 294, r= 0. 387 and r= 0. 422, all P<0. 01), and was positively correlated with LVMI and E/MEm (r=0.342, r=0.501, all P<0.01). Conclusions Left ventricular diastolic function is impaired in elderly hypertension patients regardless of LVH or NLVH.Plasma BNP level in combination with echocardiography parameter is accurate to evaluate the LVHand impaired diastolic function in elderly hypertensive patients.
