Acquisition of T regulatory function in cathepsin L-inhibited T cells by eye-derived CTLA-2alpha during inflammatory conditions.

13 Oct 2009 Pigment epithelium isolated from the eye possesses immunosuppressive properties such as regulatory T (Treg) cell induction; e.g., cultured retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) converts CD4(+) T cells into Treg cells in vitro. RPE constitutively ... Read more...

[Observation on therapeutic effect of eye acupuncture on cognition disorders in patients of chronic cerebral circulation insufficiency]

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effect of eye acupuncture on cognition disorders in patients of chronic cerebral circulation insufficiency (CCCI). METHODS: Sixty cases were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 30 ... Read more...

Ocular surface injuries in autoimmune dry eye. The severity of microscopical disturbances goes parallel with the severity of symptoms of dryness.

29 Sep 2009 Autoimmune dry eye (Sjögren's syndrome, SS) is a chronic systemic disease characterized by salivary and lacrimal gland inflammation and tissue damage leading to keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. In this review attention has been devoted to ... Read more...
