RESUMO
Objective To compare the effectiveness of CO2 laser treatment and routine scalpel procedure for facial sebaceous cyst (SC),and to compare cosmetic effect of laser welding and routine suture skin incision.Methods Two hundred patients with SC were randomly divided into two groups:CO2 laser operative treatment group (laser group),and routine scalpel operative treatment control group (control group),with 100 patients in each group.For the laser group,skins of SC were incised and cyst were extirpated using CO2 laser beam (power 20 W,diameter of light spot 0.2 cm and power density 637 W/cm2).If cyst wall was broken,then CO2 laser was used to gasify the residual.After cleaning skin incision,both border of incision with anastomat of laser welding skin was performed,next to welding skin incision with CO2 laser (power 1 W,diameter of light spot 0.2 cm and power density 32 W/cm2) scanning radiating 2 mm/s.For the control group,skins of SC were incised and cyst or residual wall were extirpated with single-use scalpel,and skin incisions were sutured with 1-0 silk thread by whole layer interrupted suture.Results For the laser group,97 cases (97 ％) were cured,3 cases (3 ％) improved.For the control group,87 cases (87 ％) were cured,9 cases (9 ％)improved and 2 cases (2 ％) had no improvement.Cure rate of laser group was obviously higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05).The cosmetic effect of the laser group was also better than that of the control group (P＜0.01).For the laser group,successful rate of welding skin incision was 100 ％.Conclusions Surgical removal of SC on face and welding skin incision with CO2 laser is very effective.The chances of recurrence and cicatrisation are greatly reduced.In particular,laser welding skin incision establishes a new non-suture reparable method of skin incision,which has important value for the cosmetic and plastic surgery.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of treatment and cosmetology in cbildren patients with strawberry hemangioma (SH) on face by three kind of infrared wavelength lasers.Methods In 300 children patients aged from 5 to 12 years with SH on face were randomly divided into a semi con ductor laser group (100 cases),a Nd ∶ YAG laser group (100 cases) and a CO2 laser group (100 cases).The parameters of laser were the same in the three groups,such as 10 W,light spot 0.2 cm in diameter and 318 W/cm2.According to size of area in the semiconductor laser and Nd ∶ YAG laser groups SH were coagulated by semiconductor laser and Nd ∶ YAG laser,and in the CO2 laser group it were gasified by CO2 laser,respectively.Children patients with SH were followed up for observation of cicatrzation and evaluation of the effect of therapeutics and cosmetology at six months after laser treatment.Results The cure rates were 89 ％ in the semiconductor laser group,83 ％ in the Nd ∶ YAG laser group and 69 ％ in the CO2 laser group (P＜0.05).The excellent and faworahle rates of cosmetic effect were 87.0 ％ in the CO2 laser group,86.5 ％ in the semiconductor laser group and 57.8 ％ in the Nd ∶ YAG laser group (P＜0.01).The analysis also showed that average therapeutic time,operative time and quantity of bleeding in the semiconductor laser group were less than that of in the Nd ∶ YAG laser and CO2 laser groups (P＜0.01).Conclusions The semiconductor laser (wave length 830 nm and power 318 W/cm2) for the treatmet of children patients with SH on face has many advantages,such as higher cure rate,shorter operative time,less bleeding in operation and better cos metic effects.It might become a first selective therapy for children patients with SH on face.
RESUMO
Objective To compare the effect of treating chronic colonitis diarrhea (CCD) using He-Ne laser irradiation of acupoints with routine drug treatment. Methods Two hundred patients with CCD were randomly divided into a laser irradiation group (laser group) and a routine drug treatment group (control group) with 100 patients in each group. The laser group patients were treated with a He-Ne laser ( power density 478 mW/cm2 )through coupling fiberoptic cable radiating onto the Shenque (REN8) , bilateral Tianshu (ST25) and Dachangshu (BL25) acupoints, each for 10 min daily for 10 days. Control group patients were treated with routine drugs such as antibiotics, astringents, antidiarrheals, antispasmodic analgesics, vitamins and Chinese herbal enemas. Three months after treatment the patients were examined by fibercoloscope to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy in the two groups. Results In the laser group 66 cases (66%) experienced a short-term cure, 27 cases (27%) improved and7 cases (7%) showed no effect. In the control group 33 cases (33%) were short-term cures, 43 cases (43%) improved and 24 cases (24%) had no effect. These differences were statistically significant. In both groups the effects for patients with short histories was better than for those with longer histories. In the laser group the pathological changes in the distal colon were significantly better than in the proximal colon, but this difference wasn't significant in the control group. The average days of total treatment to achieve short-term cure and improvement in the laser group were significantly less than in the control group. In the laser group the average days to the disappearance of abdominal pain and diarrhea in the short-term cure patients of was significantly fewer than in the control group. Conclusions Laser irradiation was more effective than routine drug treatment, especially for stopping diarrhea, spasmolysis and analgia.
