OBJECTIVE: To explore a method for locating the area of lacrimal sac in dacryocystorhinostomy under endoscopy. METHOD: Sixty-eight patients were performed dacryocystorhinostomy under endoscopy. Take light spot of ocular optic fiber as the lacrimal sac projection to the lateral wall of the nasal cavity position. RESULT: With the guiding of ocular optic fiber, lacrimal sac can be located accurately. The operating time of dacryocystorhinostomy under endoscopy was shortened significantly, and the operation procedure was simplified. All patients were followed up for 2 years, only 2 recurrent cases were found. The success rate reach to 97.06% (66/68). CONCLUSION: Ocular optical fiber used in locating the lacrimal sac in dacryocystorhinostomy under endoscopy is simple and feasible, and can be widely used.

OBJECTIVE: To improve the understanding of the clinical feature and early diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis (RP). METHOD: Eleven patients with RP were analyzed retrospectively and the reported literatures were reviewed. RESULT: Nine cases had initial involvement of auricular cartilage while two polyarthritis. The treatment of 2RP patients with respiratory tract involvement was invalid and 1 patient died. Nine cases were initially misdiagnosed, with a misdiagnosis rate of 81.82%. CONCLUSION: RP involves cartilage and connective tissue. The prognosis with respiratory tract involvement is poor. RP is a sort of paroxysmal and progressive inflammation involving cartilages all over the body with a variety of clinical manifestations. Early diagnosis of RP is based on full understanding of its clinical features.

OBJECTIVE: To get a method of dacryocyst allocation for dacryocystorhinostomy per nasal endoscope. METHOD: The dacryocyst of 7 chronic dacryocystitis cases(8 eyes) were located through nasal cavity guided by endo-ophthalmic optical fiber. RESULT: All the 7 patients got successful operations, the bleeding was 10-20 ml during the operation , postoperative recovery was good, no infection occurred. Five patients received operations twice, all of them were detained anaesthetic tubes for 3 to 6 months, dacryocyst rinsing were conducted once per month after extubation. No obstructions and complications occurred after one year follow up. CONCLUSION: Endo ophthalmic optical fiber can be used to locate dacryocyst in dacryocystorhinostomy per nasal endoscope.

OBJECTIVE: To study the protective effect of purariae isoflavone on apoptosis cells of atrophic nasal mucosas in ovariectomized rats. METHOD: 60 rats were divided into four groups as control, ovariectomized, ovariectomized + nylestriol (O + N) and ovariectomized + purariae isoflavone (O + P), each with 15 rats. Earlier apotosis cells of mucosas taken from nasal septum were measured with flow cytometry. RESULT: Compared with control group, and the number of apoptosis cells of mucosas increased after being ovariectomized,and the number of apoptosis cells of mucosas in O + N and O + D group didn't change. CONCLUSION: Nylestriol and purariae isoflavone might have effects on protecting cells of mucosas from lacking of estrogen by decreasing apoptosis cells in ovariectomized rats.

OBJECTIVE: To study the protective effect of nylestriol on apoptosis cells of atrophic nasal mucosas in ovariectomized rats and the difference between nasal drip and gastrogavage. METHOD: Sixty rats with atrophic rhinitis were divided into four groups at random (each with 15 rats): contrary group (Cg), ovariectomized group (Og), ovariectomized + nylestriol nasal drip group (ONNDg), and ovariectomized + nylestriol by gastrogavage (ONGg). Earlier apoptosis cells of nasal mucosas taken from nasal septum were measured with flow cytometry. RESULT: After being ovariectomized, the number of apoptosis cells of mucosas increased. In ONGg, the number of apoptosis cells of mucosas increased at 15 d after operation (P < 0.05), but it recovered at 30 d and 60 d after operation. In ONGg, the number of apoptosis cells of mucosas increased at 15 d and 30 d after operation (P < 0.05), but it recovered at 60 d after operation. CONCLUSION: Estrogen replacement by gastrogavage and via nasal drip have effects on protecting cells of mucosas from lacking of estrogen by decreasing apoptosis cells in ovariectomized rats. It might cost more time to get therapeutic effectiveness via nasal drip than by gastrogavage.
