    Objective To explore the efficacy of Mometasone furoate and Yupingfeng particles in adenoid hypertrophy in children. Methods A total of 90 children aged 4-10 years completed 8 weeks treatment were enrolled in a prospective and randomized controlled study. The symptoms and degree of obstruction were evaluated by nasopharyngoscopy conducted pre-treatment and 8weeks post-treatment. Subjects received Mometasone furoate nasal spray alone at a daily dose of 200 μg or combination with Yupingfeng particles by a dose of 5 g twice a day for 8 weeks. Actual data were compared between the two groups. Results With Mometasone treatment, there was an 19.5 percent reduction in total clinical symptom score, and the degree of obstruction dropped from 82.2 to 73.6 percent(P<0.01). With Mometasone and Yupingfeng particles treatment, there was a 31.7 percent reduction in total clinical symptom score, and the degree of obstruction dropped from 85.4 to 71.4 percent(P<0.01). A statistically significant incidence of upper respiratory tract infection was seen in patients treated with Mometasone furoate nasal spray and Yupingfeng particles(16.7%)as compared with Mometasone alone(44.2%). Conclusion Mometasone furoate appears to be effective in treating children with adenoid hypertrophy. In combination with Yupingfeng particles, it can reduce the incidence of upper respiratory tract infection.

    To investigate the therapeutic effects of Nasonex Nasal Spray(momestasone furoate) and Rhinocort Nasal Spray(budesonide) on allergic rhinitis(AR). Methods160 patients with AR were randomly divided into two groups: the Nasonex group (n=80) were treated with Nasonex once daily (total 200μg) and the Rhinocort group (n=80) were treated with Rhinocort once daily (total 256μg) for 4 weeks. Clinical effects and adverse drug reactions were observed. ResultsThere were statistical differences between the pre-and post-treatment groups (both P<0.05). The total effective rate was 97.5% in the Nasonex group and 92.5% in the Rhinocort group, however, there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05). No severe adverse drug reaction was found in either group. ConclusionsBoth medicines have good therapeutic effects on allergic rhinitis. Either one can be used for allergic rhinitis alone and achieve ideal therapeutic efficacies.

    Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Nasonex and montelukast sodium in the treatment of adenoidal hypertrophy. Methods We conducted a systematic literature search of Pub Med, Wangfang, and the Chinese National Knowledge VIP database 2010-2020 for Nasonex and montelukast sodium treatment in children with adenoidal hypertrophy. Standard articles were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The methodological quality of trials was evaluated with the Cochrane Handbook criteria, and the Review Manager 5.3 Revman5.1 software used for Meta-analyses. Finally, eleven articles, describing 865 patients, were selected, and included in the meta-analysis. Results The meta-analysis showed that the total effective rate of Nasonex combined with montelukast sodium(“the combination drug”)was significantly higher than that of Nasonex alone(“the single drug”)in the treatment of adenoidal hypertrophy in children(OR=4.29, 95%CI[2.72, 6.77], P<0.000 01). The combination drug also caused a significant decrease in the A/N ratio(adeniod/nasopharynx ratio))(MD =-0.06, 95%CI[-0.10, -0.03], P<0.000 1), and lowered clinical symptoms(MD=-1.40, 95%CI[-1.57, -1.23]). The combination drug significantly improved the quality of sleep in comparison to the single drug(MD=-1.40, 95%CI[-1.60, -1.20], P<0.000 01). The combination group also demonstrated lower effects on the impact on daily functioning than the single drug group(MD=-1.07, 95%CI[-1.22, -0.93], P<0.000 01). Conclusion Based on the current research and analysis, Nasonex combined with montelukast sodium has a significant clinical effect in the treatment of adenoidal hypertrophy in children. It is also a better choice to relieve various clinical symptoms and reduce the volume of adenoids than Nasonex alone. There was no literature that reported obvious adverse reactions.

    Abstract4684)      PDF(pc) (971KB)(1613)       Save
    Objective To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of coblation, ultrasonic knife and conventional approach in tonsillectomy. Methods A total of 117 cases in need of tonsillectomy were collected and divided into 3 groups: coblation tonsillectomy group(group A, n=39), ultrasound knife tonsillectomy group(group B, n=39)and the traditional tonsillectomy group(group C, n=39). The operation time, blood loss, postoperative sore throat situation, postoperative primary and secondary bleeding and so on were recorded and compared. Results The operation time was shorter, and intraoperative blood loss was less in group A and B than in group C(P<0.05). The operation time in group A [(9.92±4.04)min] was shorter than that [(15.86±1.36)min] in group B,(P<0.05). There was no difference in intraoperative blood loss between group A and B(P>0.05). The degree of the pain in the first three days after surgery in group A and in group B was significantly lower than that in group C(P<0.05), but no statistically significant differences were observed after three days(P>0.05). Postoperative throat pain in group A was lighter than that in group B, but there was no significant difference(P>0.05). Postoperative primary hemorrhage occurred in 1 case in group A and C, while secondary hemorrhage occurred in 1, 1 and 2 cases in group A, B and C, respectively. There was no significant difference in the time of pseudo-membrane defulvium among the three groups(P>0.05). Pharyngeal edema score 24 hours after operation in group A and group B was significantly lower than in group C(P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between group A and group B(P>0.05). Conclusion Coblation tonsillectomy is the more safe and effective method, but its cost is relatively high. It is suitable for patients with good economic conditions and high quality of life. Ultrasonic knife tonsillectomy is suggested to be appropriate for patients with adhesive tonsillitis of long duration.

    Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized from arginine by the enzyme family NO synthases. NO is an endogenous modulator of airway function. NO from the nose can constitute a nasal defensive barrier, and keep the sinuses relatively sterile. The most commonly clinical detection of nasal nitricc oxide (nNO) is to directly collect NO with a nasal plug probe placed in the anterior nostril. nNO has been used for the screening diagnosis of cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia. However, nNO is related to many influences such as the plugged extent of the sinus. Dynamic monitoring nNO before and after treatment, and combination with frictional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO)examination to early detect eosinophilic inflmmation in the upper and lower airways are more clinically valuable.

    JOURNAL OF SHANDONG UNIVERSITY (OTOLARYNGOLOGY AND OPHTHALMOLOGY)    2016, 30 (4): 34-38.   DOI: 10.6040/j.issn.1673-3770.0.2016.259
    Abstract4417)      PDF(pc) (1217KB)(2449)       Save
    Objective To explore the scientific significance and practical application of serum levels of total IgE(tIgE)and allergen-specific IgE(sIgE)in excluding allergen sensitization. Methods A total of 536 volunteers including 347 males and 189 females, aged 19-60 years with median age of 38 years old received the healthy physical examination were recruited in the study. All the subjects had no history and symptoms of allergic diseases as well as systemic diseases. Serum tIgE was detected by the capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The tIgE level ≤100 kU/L represented negative while >100 kU/L positive. Serum sIgE was assessed by means of the Phadiatop test using the fluoroimmunoassay. The Phadiatop class 0 means negative and class ≥1 positive. Results Serum level of tIgE among healthy adults was 1.14-1 703.70(median 37.18)kU/L, and it was significantly higher in males than in females(P=0.001). The negative and positive rates of serum tIgE were 72.52% and 27.48%, respectively. Serum level of sIgE(Phadiatop)among healthy adults was 0.01-59.50(median 0.05)kU/L, which had no significant significance between the male and the female(P=0.154). The negative and positive rates of Phadiatop were 82.09% and 17.91%, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in serum tIgE and sIgE levels among different age groups(P=0.119 and P=0.225, respectively). The Spearman rank correlation coefficient between serum tIgE and sIgE levels was 0.683 with statistical significance(positive correlation, P<0.001). There were 368 subjects(94.85%)with negative Phadiatop and 20 subjects(5.15%)with positive Phadiatop in the serum tIgE negative subjects(n=388), while 75 山东大学耳鼻喉眼学报30卷4期 -袁源,等.健康成人血清总IgE和变应原特异性IgE检测及意义 \=-subjects(51.02%)with positive Phadiatop and 72 subjects(48.98 %)with negative Phadiatop in the serum tIgE positive subjects(n=147). Conclusion More than one fourth subjects among healthy adults have a serum tIgE level higher than 100 kU/L, while less than one fifth subjects have a sensitization to inhaled allergens. There is an obvious correlation between the serum levels of tIgE and sIgE. The serum tIgE level below 100 kU/L may have a clinical value to exclude allergen sensitization; however, the sensitized status may not be confirmed when the tIgE level is higher than 100 kU/L, and case history and clinical manifestations also should be considered.

    Abstract4366)            Save
    The endolymphatic sac (ES) is a part of the homeostasisregulating system of the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear. Factors that influence blood flow in the sac may affect its function. This blood flow may be influenced by autonomic innervation; however,no such innervation has been demonstrated. The purpose of this study is to confirm the existence of the nerve fibres on the endolymphatic sac. Methods: Fifteen healthy Swards white rats were divided into three groups randomly. The temporal bones were taken out and were processed and sectioned by paraffinembedded technique. The sections of ES were stained by the antibody that was not labeled by biotin including the antibody for neurone specific enolase (NSE), antibody for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and antibody for neurofilament (NF). The slides were observed by light microscope. Results: On light microscope, the brown positive staining was observed in the epithelia of ES. However,there was not any positive staining on the negative control slides. Conclusion: Nerve fibers exactly exist in the epithelia of ES.

    Objective To analyze the characteristics of chronic paranasal sinusitis CT scans and to discuss the relationship between the anatomic variations in ostiomeatal complex(OMC)and the incidence of chronic pediatric sinusitis and adult sinusitis. Methods 167 cases of diagnosised chronic sinus were selected, age 4-74. The materials of image were divided into the childhood group and the adult group, then were analyzed. Results (1)The most commonly involved sinuses were maxillary sinuses, anterior ethmoids and frontal sinuses,both in the childhood group and the adult group. (2)The results showed no definitive correlation between bony anatomic variations and sinus in children but obvious relatioship between anatomic variations and adult sinus(P<0.05). Conclusion The influence of anatomic variations on the chronic pediatric sinusitis is more greater than on the adult sinusitis. The abnormal images of the sinus cannot stand alone as diagnostic evidence of pediatric sinusitis, it can serve only as confirmatory measures of sinus disease in patients whose clincal histories are supportive of the diagnosis.

    Objective    To investigate normal parameters of the latency and the thresholds of auditory brainstem response (ABR) in infants of 3-6 months old for early treatment. Methods     40 normal infants and 20 normal adults underwent ABR tests. The infants were divided into 2 groups: group A(3-4months) and group B(5-6 months). Each group consisted of 20 infants (40 ears). The ABR data were analyzed to determine normal ranges for ABR. The influences of gender, age and ears on different sides on testing results were analyzed. Results     At 80dB nHL, the range of latency for wave Ⅰ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ of ABR in 3-4 months old infants was (1.52±0.19) ms, (4.20±0.20) ms, (6.34 ±0.26) ms, respectively; In 5-6 months old infants, the corresponding results were (1.50 ±0.09) ms, (4.05 ±0.16) ms, and (6.16±0.25) ms; In normal adults, counterparts were (1.43±0.10) ms, (3.63±0.15) ms, and (5.50±0.16) ms. The Peak latency (PL) and interval peak latency ( IPL) of infants became shorter with the increase of the age, but failed to reach adult levels even in 56 months old infants. There were significant differences for PL and IPL between group A and control group, and between group B and control group. The PL of wave Ⅲ, Ⅴ and IPL of Ⅰ-Ⅲ,Ⅰ-Ⅴ between group A and group B were significantly different.  PL and IPL of female infants were shorter than the males, except for the IPL of Ⅰ-Ⅲ in group A. There were significant differences in the PL of wave Ⅴ between male and female infants in group A. The data showed that there were significant differences in the PL of Ⅲ, Ⅴ and the IPL of Ⅰ-Ⅴ between male and female infants in group B (P<0.05), but not between the sides of ears (P>0.05). The thresholds of ABR among all infants and adults demonstrated no significant difference. Conclusion     It is necessary to set up normal criteria of ABR for infants so as to diagnose early and follow-up effectively, which makes early interventions possible.

    Objective: To analyze the impact of chemotherapy on esthesioneuroblastoma and illustrate the suitable chemotherapy modality. Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients with esthesioneuroblastoma treated with chemotherapy at our department from Mar. 1993 to Jun. 2004, including age, gender, duration, Kadish staging, Hymas grade,therapy modality and outcome, was analyzed. Results: Four male cases, averagely aged 31.5 years, were treated. All patients were in Kadish C stage, and 1 in Hymas grade 2, 2 in Hymas grade 3, and 1 in Hymas grade 4. The main components of chemical drug included etoposide and platin. Chemotherapy was used as primary therapy on 1 case with grade 2, and the patient was still alive with tumor at the end of followup of 6 months. Chemotherapy was used on 3 cases as salvage therapy. Among them, 2 cases with grade 3 were alive without tumor after followups of 48 months and 6 months respectively, and 1 case with grade 4 was alive with tumor after followup of 12 months. Conclusions: Adoption of chemotherapy to treat esthesioneuroblastoma is effective, and the Hymas grade of esthesioneuroblastoma affects the response to chemotherapy. The components of chemical drug should include etoposide and platin.

    Objective   To evaluate four surgical methods of adenoidectomy. Method   Clinical data 138 cases of adenoid hypertrophy were reviewed. Four different surgical methods were applied, including conventional transoral adenoidectomy with a currete(group A, 20 cases),  conventional transoral adenoidectomy with a currete plus punch forceps (group B, 63 cases),  endoscopic adenoidectomy (group C, 25 cases), and plasma ablation(group D, 30 cases). The effects, residue, complication, operation time and blood loss were evaluated  among the methods. Result   The effective rate was 90% for group A, but 100% for the other three groups. The residual rates in descending order were 60% in group A,  6.67% in group D, and zero in both group B and C. Post-op hemorrhage occurred in 4 cases (1 in group A, 2 in group B,  and 1 in group C). 6 cases presented  nasal synechia (4 in group B, 2 in group C) . Operation time of group A and group D were longer than the other two groups. There was no significant difference in  blood loss between the group A and B. The maximal loss was noted in group C, however the minimal loss was in group D. Conclusion   The conventional transoral adenoidectomy with a currete should be abandoned because of the high rate of residue. Though plasma ablation shows the advantages, including short operation time and little blood loss,  cost of this method is one big concern. It can only be applied in the patients who can afford it and give much attention to the blood loss. For the majority of patients, conventional transoral adenoidectomy plus punch forceps or endoscopic adenoidectomy are desirable , which are relatively simple and affordable.

    Objective

    To analyze the changes in refraction and the ocular biometric parameters with cycloplegia in juveniles with different degrees of myopia.

    Methods

    Fifty-six juveniles with myopia, aged from 7 to 17 years, were enrolled from our optometry outpatient center. Before inducing cycloplegia, refraction, accommodation response, and ocular biometric parameters were measured in all subjects by optical biometry (Lenstar900). Refraction and the ocular biometric parameters were measured again after cycloplegia. The subjects were divided into two groups according to the degree of myopia: low myopia group and moderate-to-high myopia group. We analyzed the differences in the ocular biometric parameters between the two groups and the relationship of these parameters with the age. We also compared the differences in refraction and the ocular biometric parameters between before and after cycloplegia, and analyzed the relationship between those differences and the age and accommodation response.

    Results

    Before cycloplegia, there was a statistically significant difference in the axial length (AL) between the two groups, and AL showed a significant positive correlation with the age. There was no statistical difference in the aqueous depth (AD), lens thickness (LT), and pupil diameter (PD) between the two groups, and none of these parameters correlated with the age. The differences in the changes in refraction, LT, AL, and PD before and after cycloplegia between the two groups were not statistically significant; however, the difference in the changes in AD was statistically significant.

    Conclusion

    The differences in the changes in refraction before and after cycloplegia between the two groups were not statistically significant; however, the changes in the AD were significant. Therefore, it is not necessary to measure refraction with cycloplegia in juveniles with myopia; accommodation should be measured instead.

    The World Health Organization(WHO)classification of endocrine tumors was published on June 26, 2017. The classification of borderline thyroid tumors was proposed and it increased the spectrum of thyroid diseases, which includes hyalinizing trabecular tumors and other encapsulated, follicular-patterned thyroid tumors that are morphologically and behaviorally indeterminate between follicular adenomas and follicular carcinoma/follicular-variant papillary thyroid carcinomas. The latter was further classified into tumors of uncertain malignant potential and non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features, according to whether questionable capsular and/or vascular invasion are present. Tumors of uncertain malignant potential were further divided into well-differentiated tumors with uncertain malignant potential and follicular tumors of uncertain malignant potential according to whether papillary thyroid carcinoma-type nuclear features are present.

    ObjectiveTo study the etiopathogenisis and clinical manifestations of postnasal drip syndrome. MethodsThe clinic manifestations, treatments and follow-up results of 300 cases in our hospital in recent years were retrospectively analyzed. Postnasal drip is mainly complicated with sinus nasalis and nasopharynx diseases and it often induces chronic cough and various kinds of discomforts in the pharyngeal portion. ResultsAll cases mainly had chronic and various kinds of discomfort in the pharyngeal portion related to sinus nasalis and nasopharynx diseases. Of the total, 243 cases related to diseases in the nasal cavity and the sinus nasalis, of which rhinitis happened in 30, periodic rhinitis in 59, nasosinusitis in 64, nasosinusitis polypus in 77 and tumor in the nasal cavity and the sinus nasalis in 13. Also, 57 cases related to nasopharynx diseases, including 50 cases of inflammatory diseases and 7 cases of neoplastic diseases. The misdiagnosis rate was up to 78.7 percent. After anti-infective treatment, anti-allege, necessary surgeries and radiotherapies, the cough symptoms of 290 cases disappeared and of 10 cases apparently improved. During a 1-2 year follow-up, 8 cases relapsed, but the same treatment measures still had an effect. ConclusionsStrengthening the knowledge of postnasal drip syndrome is an important step to diagnose, reduce the rate of misdiagnosis and guide therapy. In order to reduce the misdiagnosis rate, it is necessary to use the standard check. Also the all-round treatments according to the causes are guarantees for curative effects.

    There is a close relationship between the endocrine system and the voice, and fluctuations in hormone levels have an impact on the shape and structure of the human vocal system, which in turn leads to voice changes. The larynx contains a large number of receptors for sex hormones and thyroid hormones, so sex hormones and thyroid hormones are the two most important hormones that cause voice disorders. Sex hormones have dynamic changes at different stages of human life, which can cause voice changes, which are most obvious in adolescence and old age. Mutational falsetto, also known as puberphonia, is very sensitive to voice training therapy, so it is necessary to be cautious when choosing surgical treatment. Furthermore, the hormone-related drugs has a significant and even irreversible impact on the voice, so caution should be used when using them. In addition, laryngeal mucosa and vocal cord edema caused by hypothyroidism can easily be misdiagnosed as Reinke's edema, which requires attention to distinguish. Finally, otolaryngologists should deepen their understanding of the endocrine problems behind voice disorders in order to more clearly identify the primary disease.

    ABSTRACT]Objective: To explore the clinical manifestation, prevention and treatment of large vestbular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS). Methods: The clinical process of diagnosis and treatment of 18 patients with LVAS confirmed by high resolution CT were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The large caliber resulted in more hearing loss of the ear than the small one in the same patient; for different patients, the caliber size had no relationship with the hearing loss; the results of otoacoustic emission(OAE) was unstable; all patients were proved to have LVAS by CT scan of the temporal bone. Conclusions: The LVAS may be often misdiagnosed. The patients with fluctuative and progressive hearing loss should be examined by high resolution CT scan of the temporal bone. Early diagnosis plays an important role in preserving the patients′ remaining hearing.

    There is a high incidence rate of sinusitis in children. Adenoid hypertrophy is a common cause of sinusitis in children. Adenoid hypertrophy can affect the occurrence and development of sinusitis by hindering nasal cavity development and nasal drainage, as well as releasing pathogenic bacteria. Sinusitis can cause adenoid hypertrophy through inflammatory stimulation. Allergies can affect both sinusitis and adenoid hypertrophy and might be an important therapeutic target to be considered during treatment.There is a closed relationship between adenoid hypertrophy and pediatric sinusitis. An adenoidectomy can be used to treatrefractory sinusitis in children.

    Objective To explore the correlation between Ryan index and reflux symptom index(RSI)and reflux finding score(RFS), in the diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux diseases. Methods In a retrospective study, the clinical data of 230 patients presenting at the hospital with suffering from laryngopharyngeal discomfort for more than a month, in our hospital from February 2016 to November 2016, were analyzed. All patients were received underwent electronic laryngoscopy, assessment of RSI and RFS, and pharyngeal pH monitoring. Results There were 35 patients(15.2%)whose with positive Ryan index were scorepositive(15.2%). The positive rate of RSI, RFS, RSI or RFS, and RSI and RFS were positive in 46.5%,28.7%,60.9%,and 13.9% of the patients, respectively. The RFS score in the Ryan index positive group was higher than that in the Ryan index negative group, while the RSI score in the Ryan index positive group was not statistically different from that in the Ryan index negative group. The Ryan index positive rates in the RFS, RSI or RFS, and RSI and RFS positive groups were higher than that in the RFS, RSI or RFS, and RSI and RFS negative groups. The kappa values between the Ryan index group and RSI, RFS, RSI or RFS, and RSI and RFS groups were -0.06,0.394,0.116, and 0.172, respectively. When pH monitoring was regarded as the gold standard, the sensitivity of RSI, RFS, RSI or RFS, and RSI and RFS were 37.1%, 74.3%, 82.9%, and 28.6%, respectively; the specificity was were 51.8%, 79.5%, 43.1%, and 88.2%, respectively; the positive predictive values was were 12.1%, 39.4%, 20.7%, and 30.3%, respectively; and the negative predictive values was were 82.1%,94.5%,93.3%,and 87.3%, respectively. The correlation coefficients between RSI and upright and supine Ryan scores were -0.056 and -0.083, respectively; the correlation coefficients between RFS and upright and supine Ryan scores were 0.425 and 0.166, respectively. Conclusion Pharyngeal pH monitoring is an objective and non-invasive method which can reflect laryngopharyngeal reflux directly. There is a positive correlation between the RFS and the Ryan index, however, the consistency of correlation between RFS/RSI and Ryan index were is poor. Further studies research areis needed to get moredevelop an accurate scale and pH diagnostic index for the diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease.

    Objective To explore the causes and treatment of chyle leakage after lymph node dissection(LND)for thyroid carcinoma. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 647 patients who underwent LND for thyroid carcinoma. For the 11 patients who developed chyle leakage, measures such as intravenous nutrition, low-fat diet, local compression and negative pressure drainage were taken. Results Chylous leakage occurred on day 0.5 to 3 after surgery, and the incidence was 1.7%. The peak drainage of chylous leakage was 120 to 1100 mL/d. Unilateral lobectomy + isthmectomy was performed in 449 cases, total thyroidectomy in 152 cases, and unilateral lobectomy + isthmectomy + contralateral subtotal thyroidectomy in 46 cases. Simple central lymph node dissection was performed in 395 cases, 5 of whom developed chyle leakage, and the incidence was 1.26%(5/395). Lateral neck+central lymphatic dissection was performed in 83 cases, 4 of whom developed chyle leakage, and the incidence was 4.8%(4/83). Upper mediastinal dissection with endoscope was performed in 6 cases, 2 of whom developed chyle leakage, and the incidence was 33.3%(2/6). The ratio of left to right chylous leakage was 7:4. Three patients had relapse dissection(rRLN). When the daily drainage volume was less than 20 mL/d, the drainage tube was removed. The closing time of chylous leakage was 6 to 23 days, median 11 days. No second operation was performed. Conclusion When lymph node dissection for thyroid carcinoma is performed, the procedures should be standardized to prevent chylous leakage. In case chylous leakage occurs, measures such as diet adjustment and negative pressure drainage can help the cure. Surgery must be performed when the conservative treatment is ineffective.

    Phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation is one of the main methods of cataract surgery. Currently, there are two types of intraocular lenses: single focus intraocular lens and multifocal intraocular lens. Although the single focus intraocular lens can provide good distance visual acuity, it does not effectively improve intermediate and near visual acuities, and presbyopic glasses are still needed. Based on this limitation, the multifocal intraocular lens was introduced. Our article aims to review the visual quality and complications after the implantation of multifocal intraocular lens.

    Objective To investigate the changes to the lens vault(LV)and anterior chamber structures after implantation of implantable collamer lenses(ICL)with central flow in patients with myopia. The relationship between LV and its associated factors, both preoperatively and postoperatively, will also be analyzed. Methods One hundred and forty eyes of 72 patients who underwent ICL implantations were enrolled between January 2015 and January 2017. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure(IOP), corneal endothelial cell count(ECD), refractive outcomes, LV, and other anterior chamber structures were evaluated and compared after 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 1 year, postoperatively. We analyzed the relationship between LV and other anterior chamber structures. Results After 1 year, 73% of eyes had gained 1 or more lines of corrected distance visual acuity, progressively fewer eyes had gained an uncorrected distance visual acuity above 20/20, more than 63% were within±0.5 D of the prospective mean refractive spherical equivalent(MRSE), and more than 86% were within±0.1 D of the prospective MRSE. There were no significant differences in MRSE, IOP, and ECD, postoperatively(p>0.05). No complications occurred during the postoperative time. There were no significant LV differences at 1 month and 3 months postoperatively. Meanwhile, LV had decreased significantly in the first postoperative year and was negatively correlated with age, keratometric power, 500 μm angle open distance, 500 μm trabecular iris space area, and the anterior chamber angle. LV was positively correlated with the white-to-white distance, angle-to-angle distance, anterior chamber depth, axial length, and ICL length. Axial length and ICL length were independent factors of LV. Conclusion Implantations of phakic ICL with center flow are safe, effective, and predictable in correcting myopia. LV decreased significantly at 1 year postoperatively, which correlated with multiple factors, both preoperatively and postoperatively.

    The rising incidence of myopia is a major global public-health problem. Small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)is widely accepted by refractive experts and patients, owing to its advantages, such as its flap-free nature, requirement for a small incision, good safety, effectiveness, and predictability. However, SMILE surgery requires corneal micro-surgical skills, and the learning curve is relatively steep. Thus, surgical skills required for SMILE as well as the prevention and management of complications associated with SMILE will be discussed in this article.

    [ABSTRACT]Objective: To observe normative auditory brainstem response (ABR) latencyintensity functions and the threshold and provide reference for combined clinical use of air and boneconducted ABR. Methods: ABR absolute thresholds and latencies(Ⅴwaves)were obtained from 56 ears of 28 young persons with normal hearing using both the EARTONE insert earphone and the Radioear B71 bone viboratory. Results: The air and boneconducted waveⅤlatencyintensity functions exhibited increased latencies as intensity decreased. The boneconducted clicks yielded somewhat longer latencies than the airconducted ones. Conclusions: (1) The waves of air and boneconducted ABR are similar, and more information on ascertaining the presence and magnitude of a conductive hearing loss can be obtained when both air and boneconducted ABR wave V latencyintensity functions are administered. (2) When the threshold of boneconducted hearing exceeds approximately to 40 dBHL, no BCABR responses can be observed. (3) Masking is often necessary when administering boneconducted ABR test, but intensity of masking should not exceed to over 60 dBSPL.

    Objective: To study the incidence rate, position and time of cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) leak after traumatic skull base and explore a more effective treatment. Method: The clinical data of 358 patients with traumatic skull base fracture were retrospectively analyzed. Results: CSF leak was found in 88 cases(24.6%), 56 of whom resulted from anterior cranial fossa, 23 from cranial fossa media, and 9 from anteriormiddle cranial fossa. About 64.8% of the CSF leak (57 cases) occurred in 48 hours after fracture, and the latest was found 28 years after fracture. CSF leak was cured by conservative treatment in 73 patients, by once operation in 11, and by twice operations in 3. One patient died of breathing and circulating exhaustion induced by the infection of intracranial part after three times surgeries. Among participants with surgery, 4 was successfully repaired by endoscopy. Conclusion: The response rate of CSF leak seems to have a relationship with the position and duration of fracture . Nasendoscopy has salutary effect on CSF leak for its less sideeffect and exact operation.

    To evaluate the clinical characteristics of tympanograms using 226- and 1,000-Hz probe frequencies and to provide a clinical guideline. MethodsHearing of all subjects was screened by means of transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions. Tympanograms, recorded with probe-tone frequencies of 226- and 1,000-Hz, were classified based on the Liden/Jerger model of shapes. Furthermore, equivalent ear canal volume, tympanometric peak pressure and other important tympanometric parameters were calculated for each tympanogram. ResultsBoth ears of the 100 neonates passed the TEOAE Screening. Most tympanograms obtained from the 226 Hz tympanometric data were double-peaked (96.0%). The 1000Hz tympanometric data obtained showed a single - peaked tympangram in 180 ears (90.0%). 174 (87.0%) ears were either double-peaked in 226Hz tympanogram or single-peaked in 1000Hz. 6 ears had a single peak both in 226Hz and in 1,000Hz tympanogram. ConclusionThese results have led to the successful implementation of 1,000-Hz tympanometry in neonatal hearing assessment.

    Objective To investigate the effect of preoperative prophylactic injection of conbercept into the vitreous cavity on proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)and to analyze the factors influencing prognosis. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 40 patients(54 eyes)with PDR who underwent vitrectomy from January 2015 to June 2017. Of these, 20 patients(26 eyes, the observation group)received preoperative prophylactic intravitreal injection of conbercept and 20(28 eyes)without treatment were in the control group. The surgical outcomes and prognosis were compared between the 2 groups. Prognosis was evaluated according to the effect on visual improvement, and prognostic factors were analyzed using single and multiple factor analysis. Results The duration of surgery in the observation group was much shorter than in the control group. The incidence of iatrogenic perforation or intraoperative bleeding and the need for intraoperative electrocoagulation or silicone oil filling were much less in the observation group than in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant. There was no significant difference in macular thickness between the 2 groups before surgery. After surgery, the macular thickness in the observation group was much less than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the rate of retinal repositioning, postoperative vitreous reaccumulation, and recovery of visual acuity. Higher preoperative glycated hemoglobin levels and higher preoperative macular thickness were independent risk factors for prognosis. Conclusion Preoperative prophylactic intravitreal injection of conbercept can improve the effect of vitrectomy for PDR patients, and can help reduce complications. However, this measure had no obvious effect on recovery of visual acuity.

    Objective: To observe the effect of azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray in treatment of allergic rhinitis. Methods: One hundred and nine patients (mean 35.6 yearslod, ranged from 15 to 76 yearslod) with persistent allergic rhinitis were randomized into mild, moderate or severe groups according to the ARIA. Patients of mild group received azelastine hydrochloride or fluticasone propionate one spray per nostril, two times per day for 30 days. Patients of moderate or severe group received azelastine hydrochloride or fluticasone propionate (with a 30minute interval), or their combination. Results: The effect in mild group was not significantly different between azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate(86.36% vs 92.00%, P>0.05). In moderate or severe groups, the response rate was 66.67%, 73.33% and 96.88% in azelastine hydrochloride (the first group), fluticasone propionate alone(the second group) and their combination (the third group). There was no significant difference between the first and the second groups(P>0.05). The response rate of the third group was significantly higher than that of the first and the second groups(both P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the total response rate of azelastine hydrochloride and of fluticasone propionate (83.78% vs 90.00%, P>0.05). Conclusion: Azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate can be used for the firstline pharmacological treatment of allergic rhinitis, and their combination can be used to treat moderate or

    Objective To investigate the effect of intratympanic steroids as a salvage method to treat the patients with refractory sudden sensorineural hearing loss who did not respond to initial primary systemic steroid therapy. Methods Reviews were performed for 96 patients hospitalized between 2010 and 2013. Among them, 52 patients accepted intratympanic steroids injection, and the remaining 44 patients who refused intratympanic treatment were served as the control group. Mean air conduction at four frequencies (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz) were monitored. Hearing results was compared before and 1 month after the treatment. Results Hearing improvement was defined as more than 10 dB in pure tone average(PTA). The hearing improvement was 30.8%(16 cases) in the intratympanic group but 6.8%(3 cases) in the control (P<0.01). Conclusion Intratympanic steroid injection is an effective therapy for sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients who are refractory to primary systemic steroid therapy.
