ABSTRACT
Objective To observe how different measuring methods of corneal curvature produce affect postoperative corneal a-stigmatism correction after implantation of TORIC artificial lens .Methods To measure 4 teams of age-related cataract patients complicated with regular astigmatism of more than 1 .0D by the procedure of manual keratometer ,IOL Master ,auto keratometer and Pentacam respectively .The Toric artificial lenses were precisely placed in appropriate position in phacoemulsification surgery .We observed the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) ,best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in 1D ,1W ,1M ,3M before and after the sur-gery ,corneal astigmatism after the surgery ,as well as anticipated and consequent residual astigmatism .Results The variance analy-sis of absolute-value deviation between anticipated residual astigmatism (ARA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) is P<0 .0001 ,the above difference was statistically significant ;we consider that the astigmatic deviation measured by the four methods is different ;besides the deviation of paired comparison results between Master-team (0 .322) and auto-team (0 .242) ,auto-team and manual-team (0 .218) ,manual-team and Pentacam-team(0 .107) is more than 0 .05 and not statistically significant ,all the remaining paired comparison results are statistically significant ,(P<0 .05) ,the Pentacam-team (0 .082) is the minimum deviation ,while the IOL Master-team (0 .422) is the maximum one .Conclusion The measuring result to estimate the exact value of Acrysof Toric IOL by Pentacam is more accurate than by other methods .
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the signs and the value of CT enhanced scanning in diagnosing the liver cancer combined arteriovenous fistulae(AVF).Methods 50 cases of the liver cancer combined AVF had plain and enhanced scanning by spiral CT,then proved by hepatic arteriography.The signs of CT and hepatic arteriography were contrast analyzed.Results CT scan showed 17 cases of artery-portal vein fistulae (centre),10 cases of artery-the small branch of portal vein fistulae(periphery),3 cases of artery-liver vein fistulae,5 cases combined the signs aforementioned,2 cases combined the artery-portal vein fistulae and the artery-liver vein fistulae,and the 13 cases no the characteristic signs of CT,37 cases of the signs of AVF were found by CT,sensitivity 74%.26 cases were diagnosed as AVF,postitive rate 52%.Conclusion The development of portal vein and/or the inferior caval vein ahead in artery phase,especially the parenchyma of the lobes,segments and subsegments of liver,may be a foundation of the diagnosis of AVF.And we discussed the limitation of the CT examination in diagnosing this complication.
