In 31 eyes having undertaken intraocular lens(I0L)implantation with vitreous loss, closed system automated anterior vitrectomy was performed.Corrected visual acuty of 0.5 or better was 68% after follow-up of 8.8 months.The result showed that automated anterior vitrectomy furnished beneficial condition to posterior chamber I0L implantation.

Behccedil;et's disease,a stubborn malady,has extremely bad visual prognosis due to the recurrence of uveitis. The combination of chlorambucil with traditional Chinese medicine herbs was designed to treat 16 patients with Behccedil;ets disease,resulting in total remission of uveitis in 11 patients and partial remission in 5 patients. Visual improvement was seen in 63.33% of the eye involved in Bebcet's disease. The extraoeular manifestations such as oral aphthae,multiform skin lesions,genital ulcer and muscular pain were disappeared in 10 patients and dramatically improved in 6 patients. The treatment was well tolerated by the patients with few side effects. The indications,side etfeets and relevant problems of the treatment were discussed based on the results presented here.

Eighteen male patients and 10 female patients with Bt.Behccedil;et's disease were addressed to study the influences of sex factor on Behccedil;et's disease. It was found that recurrences of uveitis were more frequent in malepatients than in females,and that male patients were worse than females in prognosis due to the high severity of retinal vasculitis and the low sensitivity to treatment.It is pressumed that the sex hormone may, at least in part,contribute to the diffrenees between the male and female patients.
