vim: multiple replace operations

I need to replace multiple patterns to get TeX notation in reports. I use vim for creating reports. There are many patterns to replace (about 100), for example, 

%s/U_CC/$U_{CC}$/
%s/tplh/$t_{plh}$/
%s/U\(.*\)_\(.*\)V||\(.*\)$/$U_{\1}$|V|\3|$U_{CC}=\2 V$/

etc. Is there a way to speed up this work in vim, for example, by using some file with patterns and replacing strings?

You can define a function that chains all the substitutes (preceded with a :silent! to neutralize errors)., or you can put all your substitutions in a vim script (that you could put anywhere, or only in ~/.vim/macros/ under ~/.vim/), and source that script with :so ~/.vim/macros/fix-my-report.vim for instance.
