ABSTRACT
AIM: To observe the surgical effects of the taumatic lens subluxation and cataract after manual fragmentation and emulsification of nucleus and foldable intraocular lens implantation. METHODS: A 3. 0mm tunnel limbus incision was operated through the predicted bulbar conjunctiva and sclera on 26 cases ( 26 eyes ) with taumatic lens subluxation ( suspensory ligament rupture range less than 120 ) and cataract (Ⅰ ~ Ⅲ) . And after the manual fragmentation and emulsification of nucleus, foldable intraocular lens was implantated. Intraocular lens loop was imbedded in the middle of the lens zonular ligament breakup to reset the pouch. The surgical complications and postoperative vision changes were observed. RESULTS:Three month after operation, 22 eyes had a intraocular lens centric position taking up 85% of the whole. Four eyes had a slightly eccentric position ( 1 ~2mm), taking up 15% of the whole. 21 eyes had their visual acuity 0. 5~0. 8, taking up 81% of the whole. Five eyes of visual acuity was 0. 2~0. 8. Within 24h intraocular pressure of 12 eyes (46%) after operation were elevated, and returned to normal after 2~7d. There was no severe complication during operation and postoperation. CONCLUSION: The manual fragmentation and emulsification of nucleus and foldable intraocular lens implantation of the traumatic lens subluxation and the cataract through the 3. 0mm corneal sclera limbus tunnel incision is a simple and effective surgery.
ABSTRACT
BackgroundWhether the peeling of the inner limiting membrane (ILMP) increase the closure rate of idiopathic macular hole is still in controversy.Some ophthalmologist recommend vitrectomy combined with inner limiting membrane peeling for the treatment of idiopathic macular hole.However,the removal of ILMP is difficult because of its similar appearance to adjacent tissues.Objective This study was to investigate the efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide(TA) and indocyanine green(ICG) double staining-assisted vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling during the surgery.Methods A consecutive case- observational study was designed.The standardized vitrectomy was performed in 25 eye of 23 cases with IMH.During the vitrectomy,TA and ICG were injected into posterior pole vitreous to visualize and assist the ILM peeling.The dying effectiveness was observed,and the closure rate of macular hole,visual acuity,intraocular pressure and complications were evaluated after surgery.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to operation.Results Posterior vitreous cortex and ILM were visible and the residual vitreous and cortex were removed clearly after dying of TA and ICG in all the 25 eyes.During the following-up duration of 3-8 months,the completely anatomical reattachment of the macular area was in 22 eyes ( 88.0％ ) and partially reattachment in 3 eyes( 12.0％ ).The best corrected vision was 0.07-0.60 in all of the operated eyes 2 months after surgery.Conclusions TA and ICG- assisted vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling appears to be a safe and effective method for IMH repair.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the prevalence rate of rheumatoid arthritis in Zhuang nationality population of Nanning, Guangxi.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 7407 people with Zhuang nationality, aged 16 and over were surveyed. Questionnaire was administered to each subject under survey, while X-ray and serum rheumatoid factor were carried out to all those who gave positive answers. Physical examinations were done to the suspicious cases by experts on rheumatism.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>were compared with those in 6826 people of Han ethnicity living in the same district.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The prevalence rates of rheumatoid arthritis in Zhuang nationality population was 0.27% when comparing to the Han population which was 0.28% (P > 0.05). Rates of awareness on rheumatoid arthritis in Zhuang and Han population were 5.0% and 10.5% (P > 0.05). After the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis was made and among patients who had received the treatment, the rates were 0% vs. 5.25%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The prevalence rate of rheumatoid arthritis in Zhuang nationality population of Nanning, Guangxi was not significantly different than that in Han ethnic group. However, the rates on awareness and the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis were still under satisfaction.</p>
