    Objective   To investigate the effect of  one stage multiplanar operation for the obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome(OSAHS). Mehods   68 cases with nasal、 palatopharyngeal and oropharyngeal obstruction received H-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty(H-UPPP), nasal reconstruction and hyoid suspension. Before the operation, some severe cases underwent continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) therapy or tracheotomy. Results   In 68 cases, all the  operations were performed successfully. No death or  severe complications occurred during the operation and follow-up. According to  polysomnography(PSG), the effectiveness was 100%  6 months later and 95.55% after one year. 6 months and one year after the operation, the changes of AHI and SaO2 were  significant (P<0.05) compared with those  preoperative. On CT scanning, the anteroposter dimensions of retroglossal areas were decreased, and retropalatal areas were increased after surgery (P<0.05). The shape of airway was improved  significantly. Conclusion   The one stage multiplanar operation is safe and effective for OSAHS. The shape of airway tends to be normal . CPAP before the operation can  effectively  prevent postoperative severe complications.

    Objective To investigate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) combined with captopril and nifedipine on severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients with hypertension. Methods Sixty-six patients with severe OSAHS accompanied with hypertension were randomly divided into control group and CPAP group. In control group, the patients underwent captopril and nifedipine treatment for 8 weeks, while in CPAP group, extra CPAP treatment was applied concurrently for 4 weeks. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured at 22:00, 2:00, 6:00 respectively. Effective rate and blood pressure changes before and after the treatment between the two groups were compared. Results The effective rates in both groups showed no significant differences at 22:00 (Ctrl 78.8%; CPAP 75.6%) and 2:00 (Ctrl 63.6%; CPAP 60.6%) (P>0.1, P>0.1). However, effective rate in CPAP group was significantly higher (75.6%) than that of control group (51.5%) at 6:00 (0.025<P<0.05). Total effective rate in CPAP group (76.7%) was higher than that of control group (52.1%) (P<0.05). Conclusion CPAP combined with Captopril and nifedipine can effectively control hypertension in severe OSAHS patients and the total effective rate is higher than oral medication alone.

    Objective   To observe morphological and functional changes in the macular in eyes with different kinds of secondary epiretinal membranes (SEM) and to explore the significance of surgical treatment. Methods   A retrospective, observational case series of 55 patients with SEM who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and membrane peeling during October 2008 and August 2012 were included. The causes of SEM were classified. Changes in macular morphology before and after the surgery were observed by optical coherence tomography. The thickness of neuroepithelium in the central macular area(CMT) and the integrity of its IS/OS layer were recorded, as well as best corrected visual acuity (BCVA, logMAR). Paired t test was used to compare pre-operative and post-operative BCVA. Independent sample t test was used to compare BCVA and CMT between group of IS/OS layer integrity and unintegrity. Results   Trauma, cataract surgery,laser photocoagulation,and retinal vein occlusion etc had relation with this disease.5 patients(9.09%) were lost for follow-up. In the other 50 patients, 40 eyes (80.00%) had their vision improved and 10 eyes (20.00%) had no changed. Postoperative BCVA was improved (t=-7.467, P<0.001).The eyes with intact IS/OS layer had better post-operative BCVA than the other eyes(t=-4.437, P<0.001),but CMT did not(t=-0.990, P=0.329). Conclusion   Secondary epiretinal membrane has significant influence on macular function. Surgical treatment can save or improve the patients’ visual quality.

    Objective   To evaluate the occurrence of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in high myopia patients’ cataract surgery with Bigbag intraocular lens implantation. Methods   Sixty-six eyes in 38 high myopia patients received phacoemulsification to remove cataract. Then Bigbag intraocular lens were implanted into capsular bag. Pre-operative and post-operative best uncorrected distance visual acuity (BUDVA), best corrected distance visual acuity(BCDVA), refractive status were collected. The axial length of the eyeballs and the distance from the central of posterior capsule to the retina were measured by A-mode ultrasound. Occurrence of PVD was evaluated by B-scan ultrasonography and Non-contact slit lamp lenses. Results   Six months after the operations, BUDVA and BCDVA were significantly improved compared with those pre-operatively, while the spherical diopter was significantly decreased. But the axial length had not significantly changed. The distance from the central of posterior capsule to retinal became longer than that before the operations, with the average margin for distance variation of (1.56±0.41)mm. Pre-operatively, PVD was detected in 45 eyes (68.18%). Of the 21 eyes without PVD before the operation, 14 eyes (66.67%) developed PVD post-operatively. No retinal detachment was detected. Conclusion   Bigbag intraocular lens implantation is safe and effective for high myopia eyes with cataract. The incidence of PVD in such patients is relatively low.

    Objective   To explore the application and advantages of self made frenum hemostat in short frenum correction surgery. Methods   132 cases of children with thick and degree Ⅱ frenum or above were alternately divided into experimental and control groups according to the time sequence of  diagnosis. The self made frenum hemostat was used in the operations in the experimental group, but not  the control group. The operation time, the amount of surgical bleeding and treatment effectiveness  between the two groups were compared. Results   Compared with the control group, both the operation time and surgical bleeding in the experimental group were much less(P<0.05), however, the effectiveness was  better  but not significant(P>0.05 ). Conclusion   The self made frenum hemostat is easy to make, easy to use and can significantly shorten the operation time and reduce the amount of surgical bleeding.

    Objective   To establish an animal model to study the changes of tracheal mucociliary transport before and after trachea reconstruction, in which a 6.5 cm segment of cervical trachea was replaced by jejunal autograft with partially scraped mucosa. Methods   Eight beagle dogs were included in the study. A 6.5 cm segment of cervical trachea was resected. Through a midline abdominal incision, 7 cm jejunum was resected and the graft was prepared by scraping partial mucosa off with surgical knife and dry gauze. Microvascular anastomoses were done between the mesenteric artery and the right common carotid artery, using a standard end-to-side technique. The mesenteric vein was anastomosed with the right common carotid vein, using a standard end-to-end technique. The silicone stent was placed in the lumen of the jejunal segment and  removed  four week later after the operation. A Ni-Ti alloy prothesis was placed over the jejunal segment, with the mesenteric vessels passing through the longitudinal opening of the mesh tube. In every canine model, the position of lower margin of resected trachea was marked in cervical skin  and 50% barium sulfate mucilage was injected as a tracer into the trachea lumen under fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The time between the injection and arrival of tracer to  glottis (mucociliary transit time, MTT) and corresponging length of travel  (mucociliary transport length, MTL) were recorded. Mucociliary transit rate (MTR), as MTL/MTT, was calculated. The same procedure was performed before operation and 7 days, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively. Statistical analysis was performed. Results   There was no difference in MTR before operation and 1 month, 3 months after operation, and there was also no difference in MTR between 1 month and 3 months postoperatively(P>0.05). Statistical significance in MTR were noted between all the neighboring two time points, from preoperative MTR, 1 week , 1 month and 3 months  postoperative(P<0.05). Conclusion   In the tracheal reconstruction by jejunal autograft with partially scraped mucosa, MTR is to be normal 1 month later after the operation. MRT at 3 months postoperative remains equally with the preoperative or 1 month postoperative.

    Objective   To investigate the surgical management and clinical characters of patients with orbital osteomas. Methods   We reported a case with a large orbit osteoma removed via a transcranial approach with a coronal incision. We also performed a Pubmed search and reviewed all studies published from 2003 to 2013 on orbit osteomas from a minimal cohort of 3 patients Results   6 studies, including 67 patients, were reviewed.  Among all the cases, the frontal sinus was the most common location for osteoma, followed by ethmoid sinus. Total resection were performed in 55 cases (82.1%), while partial resection in were achieved in 12 patients (17.9%), Different tumor sizes, locations, and different surgeons yielded different surgical methods, such as  transcranial approache, endoscopic removal , transorbital approaches ,and so on. Conclusion   Surgical choice depends on the tumor size, location , and the experience of the surgeon. Transcranial approach is to be indicated if a large or deep osteoma locates in the orbit where it’s difficult or impossible to expose by a conventional orbitotomy.

    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.
