简介：超声乳化术已经成为了目前治疗老年性白内障的主要手术方式。随着超声乳化术的广泛应用，该种术式对于眼前节结构和功能影响的研究也层出不穷。本文回顾了近几年来国内外这方面的相关文献，阐述了超声乳化术对眼前节结构和功能的影响。

简介：为探讨迷路的老化过程,应用透射电镜观察了新生、青年、老年豚鼠的耳蜗和迷路血管系统的变化。发现老年豚鼠血浆成分有改变、听力呈下降倾向;毛细胞、迷路血管及螺旋神经和螺旋神经节细胞均可见一系列损害。作者推测在耳蜗老化过程中血管系统的变化非常重要,至少是耳蜗其他部位老年性改变的原因之一。

简介：目的：观察早期衰老大鼠视网膜色素上皮-光感受器细胞复合体超微结构的变化。方法：取3月龄及12月龄大鼠视网膜,制成半薄切片,透射电镜下观察视网膜色素上皮-光感受器细胞复合体超微结构的变化。结果：12月龄大鼠视网膜中出现视网膜色素上皮细胞（retinalpigmentepithelium,RPE）凋亡和RPE-光感受器细胞复合体的退行性改变。结论：视网膜色素上皮-光感受器细胞复合体的退行性改变是视网膜衰老的早期表现。
