    Objective   To explore the effect of endoscopic near total thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine remnant ablation (RRA) in differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Methods   Between January 2008 and March 2011, 27 cases of differentiated thyroid carcinoma, with the diameter of smaller than 4cm, without obvious lymph nodal metastases and extraglandular invasion, underwent endoscopic operation followed by RRA. Results   The endoscopic near total thyroidectomy was finished in all of 27 patients. Among them, the chest and breast approach was used in 17 cases, and the axillary and breast approach was used in 10 cases. The operation time was 60-180min, with the mean time of 105min. Blood loss was 10~80mL (mean, 20mL). Post-operative hospital stays were 4~8 days (mean, 5.6 days). Temporality injury of recurrent laryngeal nerve occurred in 2 cases and healed after 3 months. No recurrence or metastases were found in all of patients after a follow-up of 4~38 months (mean, 12 months). TG stimulated by TSH was more than 10ng/mL in 2 cases, while 0~7.74ng/mL (mean, 2.36ng/mL) in other cases. All patients were satisfied with the neck appearance. Conclusions   Considering the high safety, radical efficacy and favorable cosmetic outcome, endoscopic near total thyroidectomy followed by RRA is suitable for those patients with lowrisk differentiated thyroid carcinoma absenting obvious nodal metastases.

    Objective   To investigate the operative skill and therapeutic effect of sinus surgery under nasal endoscope for fungal sphenoid sinusitis. Methods   A total of 32 cases of fungal sphenoid sinusitis were enrolled from June 2006 to June 2009. The image features and clinical manifestations were summarized, and the points of operation and therapeutic effectiveness were analyzed. Results   CT scanning showed apparent reflection of calcification with high density of spots or strips in the lumen of the sphenoid sinus, which were the specific features. The main clinical manifestation included headache and bloody nasal discharge. All these cases treated under nasal endoscope were cured without nasal adhesion and relapse during a follow-up period of 12-18 months after the surgery.  Conclusions   Sinus CT examination can improve the diagnostic rate of fungal sphenoid sinusitis. Nasal endoscopic surgery is a preferred procedure for the treatment of fungal sphenoid sinusitis, with advantages such as clear surgical vision field,minimal invasive, much less bleeding and high security.

    Objective   To verify the consistency between the results of Pentacam and ultrasonic pachymetry, and between that of Pentacam and traditional corneal topography; to evaluate the influence of surgery type, AD, AD/CT, RBT and IOP on the changes of posterior cornear after excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy by Pentacam. Methods  Choose myopic patients who underwent excimer laser refractive surgery during January 2010 to June 2010 in our hospital. Certain amount was included for each group of analysis. Pentacam, ultrasonic pachymetry, traditional corneal topography and other tests necessary for the surgery like IOP were taken. Patients were divided into the LASIK and LASEK groups according to the type of surgery. For every patient during the surgery, AD and RBT were documented and AD/CT was calculated. 8~12 weeks after the surgery, Pentacam was redone. Results   ① Consistence rate of Pentacam and ultrasonic pachymetry for CCT was 97.62%,and poisson correlation coefficient was 0.96;② Consistence rate of Pentacam and traditional corneal topography for AverK was 100%,and poisson correlation coefficient 0.98; ③ Mean value of posteror cornea elevation for patients underwent LASIK surgery was 2.46μm,while that of patients underwent LASEK was 0.6μm. In both groups forward shift rised with the increase of AD and AD/CT, declined with the increase of RBT, and showed no correlation with IOP. Conclusions   ① Pentacam is consistent with ultrasonic pachymetry for measuring CCT. As a noninvasive novel inventure, Pentacam is suitable for pre-operative tests for excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy. ② For healthy patients, Pentacam could replace traditional corneal topography. More results of the anterior segment of the eye could be got other than K vales by using Pentacam. ③ Minor posteror cornea elevation exists after both LASEK and LASIK. And the former is more subtle. ④ The degree of posteror cornea elevation is in positive relation with AD and AD/CT, negative with RBT, and no relation with IOP.

    Objective   To investigate the clinical efficacy of compound trabeculectomy combined with sodium hyaluranate on secondary glaucoma following anterior uveitis. Methods  During the process of compound trabeculectomy, sodium hyaluranate was injected into the anterior chamber and under the sutured scleral flaps in 37 cases (37 eyes) of the experimental group. The other 29 cases (29 eyes) in control group were injected with B.S.S. solution. Visual acuity,intraocular pressure,thickness and angle of anterior chamber and the type of blebs in the two groups were recorded and statistically analyzed. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 9 to 15 months. Results   A significant difference in the success rate was found between the two groups(P<0.05). The incidences of functional filtration blebs and filtration patency were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.05). The incidence of flat anterior chamber was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.05). No significant difference was found in the visual acuity improvement between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion   A small amount of sodium hyaluranate injected into anterior chamber and under sutured scleral flap can restrain filtration adherence and raise surgery quality of compound trabeculectomy on secondary glaucoma following anterior uveitis.

    Objective   To evaluate the efficacy and safety of internal limiting membrane(ILM) for treatment of foveoschisis in high myopia. Methods   25 high-myopia patients (25 eyes) with foveoschisis from March 2008 to October 2010 were divided two groups: the treatment group (14 eyes) were treated with vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling, and the control group (11 eyes) were treated only with vitrectomy.The best spectacle-correction, foveoschisis reattachment and dysmorphopsia were measured preoperatively and 3 months after surgery. Results   The improvement of foveoschisis reattachment and dysmorphopsia in the treatment group was significantly better than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the improvement of visual acuity between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion   The vitrectomy with ILM peeling is more effective for treatment of foveoschisis in high myopia. It can improve foveoschisis reattachment and dysmorphopsia, but it can not significantly improve visual outcomes.
