ABSTRACT
Objective To study the features of eye wounds in subtropical mountain and bush zone so as to improve success rate of medical therapy and decrease disability rate for eye wounds. Methods The clinical data of eye wounds caused by Selfdefense War against Vietnam from No. 59 Hos-pital of PLA were analyzed. Results Monocular injuries accounted for 81.7% of eye wounds, with no statistical difference in the injuries between left eye and right eye. Eye wounds caused by shrapnel ac-counted for 82.2%, and it was the main injury factor. The rate of eye injuries complicated with other in-juries of the body was up to 75.6%. Globe wounds were the most commonly seen, with open globe wound accounting for 45.1%. Conclusion Timely and correct ophthalmological treatment can effectively re-duce the blinding rate.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of coblation in upper airway obstruction patients. METHODS Coblation Channeling was used in 814 obstructed nasal airway patients.Soft palate coblation with or without tonsil treatment was applied in 67 adult OSAHS patients.Coblation tonsillectomy or tonsillotomy with adenoidectomy was performed in 68 pediatric OSAHS patients.RESULTS For obstructed nasal airway patients,VAS scores of 720 (88.45 %) patients were 0 to 1 after one time treatment.Thirty-five (4.3 %) patients had second treatment,and then VAS scores dropped to 0 to 1.VAS scores of 59 (7.25 %) patients kept more than 5.For adult OSAHS patients,3 (4.5 %) patients were cured,38 (56.7 %) patients were improved, 19 (28 %) patients were effective and 7 patients were not improved.For pediatric OSAHS patient s,58 (85.29 %) patients' symptoms,such as snoring,breath difficulty, mouth breathing,or pharyngeal obstruction,were relieved and 10 (14.71%) patients' symptoms were improved. CONCLUSION Coblation is widely used in ENT patients with good results.Its advantages include easy to use, minimal invasive,safe,and much less pain.It is specially suitable for pediatric OSAHS patients.
