[The characteristics of the pathogenesis and immunomodulator treatment in the postoperative period in pseudophakia patients]. / Particularitati ale patogeniei si tratamentul imunomodulator în perioada postoperatorie la bolnavii cu pseudofac.

The investigation has revealed an immunological character of the exudative reaction in postoperative period of patients with artificial crystalline lens. We noted a cellular immunodeficiency and an increase of immunoglobulins G and A in the lacrimal liquid. The administration of 5-FU (5-fluoroucile) and levamizol decreased the inflammation in the postoperative period.

[The development of early complications after cataract extraction with IOL implantation in patients with an elevated level of antibodies to deoxyribonucleic acid]. / Razvitie rannikh oslozhnenii posle ékstraktsii katarakty s implantatsiei IOL u bol'nykh s povyshennym urovnem antitel k dezoksiribonukleinovoi kislote.

The immune system of the eye is closely connected with the immune system of homeostasis regulation of the body. The present research was aimed at the detection of the correlations between blood serum levels of autoantibodies to native and denatured DNA and the clinical course of the postoperative period after IOL implantation to cataract patients. Increased titers of both antibody types were found prognostically valuable. If only one parameter is increased (antibody titer to one DNA), the prognostic value of the test is reduced by 30%.
