[Cataract surgery in patients with endogenous uveitis].

The authors present an account of surgery of complicated cataract in 20 patients with anterior and intermediate uveitis. During a one-year follow-up period they evaluate the difference of postoperative development and visual acuity in extracapsular extraction without or with implantation of an intraocular lens. In 10 patients (5x m. Fuchs, 3x anterior uveitis, 2x intermediate uveitis) they performed only ECCE. In 10 patients with the same diagnosis an intraocular lens was implemented. The authors did not find marked differences between the ECCE operation and ECCE operation with an intraocular lens in patients with uveitis. The visual acuity improved in all 20 patients, a marked inflammatory reaction in the anterior chamber was observed in both groups only during the first days after surgery. The two groups did not differ markedly as regards late complications. From the investigation ensues that implantation of an intraocular lens is well tolerated in patients with anterior and intermediate uveitis assuming a minimum 12-week remission of the disease.

[Endogenous uveitis].

In a brief historical review of views on inflammatory affections of the uveal tissue the authors focused attention also on distinguished personalities in Czech ophthalmology who worked at the Czech Ophthalmological Clinic and participated in the development of uveology. Based on their own observations, they give an account on of their experience with the diagnosis of endogenous uveitis. Consistent with the world literature, they were able to reveal in a group of 174 patients with endogenous uveitis that the condition was associated with a systemic disease in 30%, in 9% they found an infectious aetiology and the remaining 61% were described as idiopathic endogenous uveitis. From the group of idiopathic uveitis they separated clinical entities diagnosed in 29%.

[Evaluation of the long-term therapeutic effect of bacterial vaccines administered 1960-1968 to patients with recurrent anterior uveitis].

The authors evaluate after an interval of many years the effectiveness of treatment of relapsing anterior uveitis by streptococcal vaccines administered in the sixties by L. Klenka, I. Hána, M. Koleckárová. The evaluation is based on a survey conducted by means of questionnaires. After 21 years 91% of the respondents do not report relapses. The authors discuss possible reasons why this desensitization treatment is successful.

Preliminary studies on the toxicity and metabolism of palladium and platinum.

Preliminary data are given on the LD50 of PdCl2 following different routes of exposure and on the LD50 of PtCl4 following intravenous exposure. The retention, tissue distribution, and excretion of 103Pd and 191Pt in rats was determined following oral, intravenous, intratracheal, and inhalation exposure. The highest retention for both 103Pd and 191Pt was obtained following intravenous dosing, and the lowest retention occurred after oral dosing. Following a single oral dose, almost all of the 103Pd and 191Pt was excreted in the feces due to nonabsorption, whereas after intravenous dosing, similar quantities were excreted in both the urine and feces. Tissues containing the highest concentrations of these metals were the kidney, spleen and liver. Following intravenous dosing of pregnant rats, a small amount of 103Pd and 191Pt was found in the fetuses.
