    Objective    To explore the dry eye condition after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Methods    80 patients (160 eyes) who underwent bilateral LASIK for the correction of myopia were divided into routine valva group and thin valva group. Fluorescein stainings, tear breakup time(BUT) and Schirmer I test value were recorded 1 week, 1 month,3 months and 6 months after operation. Results    There were no obvious differences in fluorescein staining at different times between the two groups (P>0.05). There were statistical differences in BUT in the third month and in Schirmer I test in the first and third months (P<0.05). Conclusion    Dry eye syndrome is a common complication of corneal refractive surgery. The occurrence of dry eyes is related with the thickness of the corneal flap.

    Objective    To determine whether topography-guided custom ablation produces acceptable outcomes in the treatment of complex refractive errors. Methods    Topography-guided customized corneal ablations were performed in 32 patients(63 eyes) with complex refractive errors. Corneal surface regularity index, surface asymmetry index, asymmetry component, corneal and ocular higher-order aberrations, uncorrected visual acuity, and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity  were analyzed during the follow-up. Results    Uncorrected visual acuity was better after operation than corrected visual acuity before operation. Astigmatism was significantly  lower after operation[(0.28±0.14)D] than before operation[(2.46±0.36)D]. The quantity of cornea ablation was saved by 10% or so. There were no adverse reactions in subjective visual quality. No eccentric phenomena were discovered in topography after operation. Conclusion    Topography-guided custom ablation is safe and effective in the management of complex refractive errors.

    Objective    To investigate the expression of Slit2 and its correlation with the lymphatic vessel density(LVD) in human hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas, and to analyze their influences on the biological behavior of human hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods    The expressions of Slit2 and D2-40 -labeled lymphatic vessel density(LVD) were measured by immunochemical staining in 66 hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and 42 normal tissue samples. Results    The positive rates of Slit2 in cancerous tissues and para-cancerous tissues were 65.2 % and 40.5 %,  respectively. Expression rate of Slit2 and LVD were closely associated with tumor size, TNM staging, and lymph node metastasis. The numeration of LVD was increased in Slit2 -positive tissues. Expression of Slit2 showed a positive correlation with LVD(rs=0.430, P<0.05). Conclusion    Expression of Slit2 and enumeration of LVD were significantly higher in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma than in normal mucosa. Their close correlations to the tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis suggest that Slit2 might mediate new lymphatic vessel formation in the tumors.

    Objective    To investigate expressions of nuclear EGFR and Aurora-A kinase in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and to explore their associations with the clinicopathological feathers. Methods    Expressions of nuclear EGFR and Aurora-A kinase were analyzed in 50 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma samples and 10 normal tissues adjacent to the carcinomas by immunohistochemistry. Results    Nuclear EGFR and Aurora-A kinase were up-regulated in most laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma samples but not in normal tissues. The difference of weighted scores between these two groups was significant(P<0.05).  Although there were no correlations between expression of nuclear EGFR and some tumor parameters, such as age, gender, tumor site, expression of nuclear EGFR was significantly associated with tumor T staging(P<0.05), lymph node metastasis(P<0.05) and relapse(P<0.05). There were no correlations between expression of Aurora-A kinase and some tumor parameters, such as age, gender, tumor site, relapse (P>0.05), while expressions of Aurora-A kinase was significantly associated with T staging (P<0.05), lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). In laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues, there were positive correlation between expressions of nuclear EGFR and Aurora-A kinase (P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed the 3, 5year survival rates of high nuclear EGFR and Aurora-A kinase were significantly lower than in the contrary groups(84.0%, P=0.020; 67.8%, P=0.006, respectively). Log-rank test demonstrated that patients with high tumor T staging, lymph node metastasis, and expressions of nuclear EGFR and Aurora-A kinase had a poor outcome (P<0.05). While Cox multiple factors analysis showed that tumor T staging, lymph node metastasis and nuclear EGFR were independent prognostic factors of laryngeal squamous cell cancer(P=0.045, 0.018, 0.088, respectively). Conclusion    Nuclear EGFR and Aurora-A kinase are associated with biological behaviors and prognosis of laryngeal squmous cell cancer.

    Objective    To evaluate the expression of caveolin-1 in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) and investigate its association with pathological features and clinical outcome. Methods    Caveolin-1 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry using rabbit polyclonal antibody against caveolin-1 in 69 paraffin embedded primary HSCC and 10 normal hypopharyngeal mucosa specimens. Associations between caveolin-1 expression and pathological features and clinical outcomes were analyzed with a chi-square test. Results    The caveolin-1 expression in HSCC was much higher than in the normal mucosa. The positive rate of caveolin-1 was 0% in the normal mucosa but 34.78% in the primary tumors. Increased caveolin-1 expression had been reported to be associated with various pathological parameters, including higher Gleason score and lymph node metastasis. Although no significant association between caveolin-1 expression and gender or primary position was observed, caveolin1 was  distinctively increased in cases with lymph node metastases (P<0.05). Conclusion    Over-expression of Caveolin-1 could be a common finding in the aggressive types of HSCC. Caveolin-1 might play an important role in invasion and metastatic progression of HSCC.

    Objective    To investigate the classification and amount of airborne autumnal pollens in the Qingdao area and it′s relationship to pollinosis. Methods    Airborne pollens were collected with a gravity precipitation method from July to October in 2010. The collected pollen grains were identified under microscopy. In addition, 213 patients were diagnosed as pollinosis according to intradermal skin tests, specific intranasal provocation test (SNPT) with pollen allergens and specific serum IgE (SIgE). Results    2971 pollen grains were collected, and the major airborne pollens were artemisia, humulus and ambrosia. There were a significant relationship between amount of airborne pollens and number of pollinosis. 118 patients complicated bronchial asthma. Skin testing positive rate of artemisia pollen allergen was the highest, up to 83.53%. In 60 patients the positive rate of SNPT was 63.33%, in which, after SNPT there were 5 patients showed airway  hyperresponse, PEF≥10%, at 11.90%. The positive rate of SIgE (immunobloting method) was 56.67%-61.67%. Conclusion    In summer-autumn, airborne allergic pollens induced easily airway (nose and bronchiole) response. SNPT can cause influence to bronchial response. Airborne pollens of artemisia, humulus and ambrosia are important pathogenesis causing allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma in the Qingdao area.

    Objective    To evaluate the application of electronic fibrolaryngoscopic swallowing study in the localization of vocal cord paralysis. Methods    The electronic fibrolaryngoscopic swallowing study was conducted in 15 patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis. The duration of the disease varied from 5 days to 10 months. There were 5 cases of right side vocal cord paralysis and 10 cases of left side vocal cord paralysis. The lesions of vagus nerve were in the high level (at or above the ganglion of the vagus nerve) in 4 cases, low level (below the ganglion of the vagus nerve) in 4 cases, and unknown level in 7 cases. Results    There was residual food in the pyriform sinus on the paralysed side of the vocal cord in all the 4 cases with highlevel vagus nerve damage, but only one case with lowlevel vagus nerve damage. Among the patients with unknown lesions of vagus nerve, residual food in the pyriform sinus on the impaired side of the vocal cord was found in 2 cases but not in another 5 cases.  Conclusion    The impaired site of the vagus nerve can be possibly determined according to whether or not there was residual food in the pyriform sinus on the impaired side of the unilateral vocal cord paralysis.

    Objective    To explore the clinical manifestations of the laryngeal tuberculosis(LTB) to improve the diagnosis of LTB. Method    The clinical dates of  13  LTB cases were reviewed. Results    Hoarseness, sore throat and cough were the most common symptoms in LTB. Fever, weight loss, fatigue and other general symptoms were rare. In this cohort, there were 13 hoarseness, 9 sore throat (69%), 6 cough (46%) and 1 fever, weight loss and fatigue (8%). Three types were identified under the laryngoscope, including infiltrative edema type (four cases), proliferative hyperplasia type (six cases), and chronic laryngitis-like type (three cases). Lung CT demonstrated 11 pulmonary tuberculosis infections. Throat biopsy was performed in eleven cases except of two whose lesions were confined to the vocal cords. Among these cases, ten were confirmed as LTB but one. PPD test showed twelve positive cases. Conclusion    LTB, though with non-specific clinical manifestations, shows some kinds of specific characteristics under the laryngoscopy. Early detection relies mainly on laryngoscopy, however, diagnosis should be confirmed with the combination of biopsy, lung CT and the PPD test.

    Objective    To explore the new surgical technique to improve the treatment of laryngeal injury granuloma. Methods    Nine cases of laryngeal injury granuloma, including two males and seven females(mean 45 yr; range: 22-65 yrs old),were enrolled. All the patients underwent endotracheal intubation 1 to 3 months ago and no improvement were noted after 1-2 months of treatment, such as anti-inflammation, voice rest, or atomizing inhalation therapy. Two cases showed breathing difficulty. With microscope and suspension laryngoscope, radiofrequency ablation system  was applied to clear the granuloma from the top to the bottom without damages to the surrounding mucosa. After the surgery, atomizing inhalation of dexamethasone and gentamicin lasted for 1 week. Results    All the nine patients recovered well with only one relapse on the contralateral side, which was removed again in the second operation. Eight patients were followed up for 3 months to 2 years without recurrence. Pathological examination confirmed that the granulation tissue was squamous mucosa with chronic inflammatory response. Conclusion    Radiofrequency ablation is a safe, effective and minimally invasive method to treat laryngeal injury granuloma, without the  recurrence.

    Objective    To investigate the clinical effect of glaucoma valve implantation on various refractory glaucomas. Methods    23 patients (23 eyes) with refractory glaucoma who underwent glaucoma valve implantation were divided into two groups according to glaucoma types and treatment methods: group A included 14 patients (14 eyes) who had neovascular glaucoma and underwent glaucoma valve implantation and retinal photocoagulation; group B included 9 patients (9 eyes) who had other refractory glaucomas and underwent glaucoma valve implantation and mitomycin C treatment. The visual acuity,intraocular pressure and complications were recorded, and the operation success rate was calculated. Results    The average intraocular pressure of two groups was obviously lower after operation than before operation(P<0.05). The visual acuity was improved in 8 eyes(57.14%) of group A and 6 eyes(66.67%) of group B 6 months after operation. There was no serious complication in all patients. The operation success rate was 85.71%(12/23) in group A and 88.89%(8/9) in group B. Conclusion    Glaucoma valve implantation is ideal treatment for refractory glaucoma,which can decrease intraocular pressure and increase operation success rate.
