METHODS: Totally 137 aged patients (149 eyes) underwent cataract operation in the case of stable systemic condition, the blood pressure less than 160/95mmHg, blood glucose less than 8mmol/L, and under the help of electrocardiogram surveillance by anesthesiologists during the operation. 106 aged patients (114 eyes) underwent Phaco while 31 aged patients (35 eyes) underwent SICS. The postoperative visual acuity, corneal endothelial cell loss, surgery time and major complications were observed and analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of >= 0.6 was achieved in 135 eyes (92.6%) at 1 month postoperatively (chi(2)=259.730, P<0.001). For aged patients, both Phaco and SICS could significantly improve visual acuity with no significant difference (chi(2)=4.535, P > 0.05). Postoperative corneal endothelial cell loss was 18.6%, in PHACO group, the rate was 18.5%; in SICS group, the rate was 19.0%, the difference of which was no significant (chi(2)=0.102, P>0.05). The surgery time was different in two groups. No severe complications occurred. CONCLUSION: Both Phaco and SICS combined with IOL implantation for aged patients are effective and safe. Before surgery, detailed physical examination should be performed. When the systemic condition is stable, cataract surgery for aged patients is safe.展开更多

METHODS: The clinical data from 28 patients, who underwent hepatic resection requiring intraoperative autologous transfusion with the cell-saver apparatus, were analyzed retrospectively. The tumors in the 28 patients involved the proximal hepatic veins and inferior vena cava. The diameters of these hemangiomas ranged from 12x15 cm to 18-40 cm. All patients had varying degrees of THVE. ' RESULTS: The 28 patients with hemangioma received integrated resection and recovered. One patient had rupture of tumors resulting in massive hemorrhage of 6000 ml during liver resection; 4 patients had blood transfusions of 400-800 ml; the other 23 patients had no blood transfusion. Only 6 patients underwent the Pringle maneuver with resection. The other 22 patients underwent THVE during the liver resection. The interval of THVE was 5-30 minutes (mean 16 minutes). CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative autologous transfusion during modified, normal-temperature THVE for extracapsular resection of huge hepatic cavernous hemangioma is feasible.展开更多

METHODS: Two hundred and twenty-eight consecutive patients who underwent colorectal resection were identified for inclusion in this study, of which 46 had positive lymph nodes. Among 46 cases with stage Ⅲcolorectal cancer, 16 had ECI at positive nodes and 8 had disease recurrence. The clinical and pathological features of these cases were reviewed. RESULTS: In the univariate analysis, the number of positive lymph nodes and depth of tumor invasion were significantly associated with the presence of ECI at positive nodes. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that only ECI was a predictor of recurrence. The recurrence-free interval differed significantly among patients with ECI at positive nodes.CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that ECI at metastatic nodes can identify which cases are at high risk of short-term disease recurrence in colorectal cancer.展开更多

Methods The study included 184 patients who underwent laryngectomy and simultaneous radical or modified radical neck dissection between January 1994 and December 1997 for laryngeal cancer. All of them had a complete 5-year follow-up. We used transparent lymph node detection and continuous slicing method on all neck dissection specimens. Kaplan-Meier model was used for survival analysis and the log-rank test was used to assess significance. Reults We found pathological neck metastases in 80 patients. Among them, 26 cases （32. 5% ） had ECS in ipsilateral neck. ECS incidence increased with advanced pathological N （pN） stages （pNl 3.7%, pN2a 25.0%, pN2b 50. 0%, and pN2c 55.6% ; P =0. 001）. ECS incidence also increased with number of positive nodes （1 positive node 8.6%, 2 positive nodes 33.3%, 3 and more positive nodes 66. 7% ; P 〈0. 001 ）. Incidences of contralateral neck metastases and ipsilateral neck recurrence in patients with ECS were higher than those in patients without ECS （46.2% vs. 24. 1%, P=0.046; 34.6% vs. 7.4%, P =0.002）. The 5-year survival rate of patients with ECS was significantly lower than that of patients without ECS （23.1% vs. 57.4%, P =0. 013）. Conclution ECS is an important prognostic factor in laryngeal cancer. Patients with ECS have a higher incidence of contralateral neck metastasis, so bilateral neck dissection should be selected.展开更多

Therefore, we aimed to study the effects of different cataract surgery techniques on endothelial cell loss in transplanted corneal grafts. Methods： A total of 54 patients who received complicated cataract surgery in post-penetrating keratoplasty （PKP） eyes at the Shandong Eye Institute between February 2001 and June 2014 were included, and clinical records were reviewed. Baseline demographic details, clinical characteristics, endothelial cell density （ECD）, and best-corrected visual acuity （BCVA） were recorded. Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to test the equality of medians. A regression model was constructed to compare the reduced rate of ECD. Results： Of the 54 eyes included in this study, extracapsular cataract extraction （ECCE） was performed in 34 eyes of 33 patients （ECCE group） whereas phacoemulsification was performed in 20 eyes of 20 patients （phacoemulsification group）. There was no signifcant difference in the median age （P = 0.081） or preoperative ECD （P = 0.585） between the two groups. At 6 months after cataract surgery, ECD in ECCE group was significantly higher than that in phacoemulsification group （P = 0.043）. In addition, the endothelial cell loss rate in ECCE group was significantly lower than that in phacoemulsification group at 2 months （P = 0.018）, 4 months （P 〈 0.001）, and 6 months （P 〈 0.001） after cataract surgery. Endothelial cell loss rate after cataract surgery increased over the 6-month study duration in both ECCE group （P 〈 0.001） and phacoemulsification group （P 〈 0.001）, but phacoemulsification resulted in a greater reduction in ECD than that of ECCE in transplanted corneal grafts （P 〈 0.001）. There was no signifcant difference in postoperative BCVA between the two groups （P = 0.065）. Conclusion： ECCE is more suitable than phacoemulsification in cataract surgery in complicated cataract after PKP.展开更多

文摘Background： The endothelium should be carefully evaluated when choosing a surgical technique for cataract removal. Therefore, we aimed to study the effects of different cataract surgery techniques on endothelial cell loss in transplanted corneal grafts. Methods： A total of 54 patients who received complicated cataract surgery in post-penetrating keratoplasty （PKP） eyes at the Shandong Eye Institute between February 2001 and June 2014 were included, and clinical records were reviewed. Baseline demographic details, clinical characteristics, endothelial cell density （ECD）, and best-corrected visual acuity （BCVA） were recorded. Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to test the equality of medians. A regression model was constructed to compare the reduced rate of ECD. Results： Of the 54 eyes included in this study, extracapsular cataract extraction （ECCE） was performed in 34 eyes of 33 patients （ECCE group） whereas phacoemulsification was performed in 20 eyes of 20 patients （phacoemulsification group）. There was no signifcant difference in the median age （P = 0.081） or preoperative ECD （P = 0.585） between the two groups. At 6 months after cataract surgery, ECD in ECCE group was significantly higher than that in phacoemulsification group （P = 0.043）. In addition, the endothelial cell loss rate in ECCE group was significantly lower than that in phacoemulsification group at 2 months （P = 0.018）, 4 months （P 〈 0.001）, and 6 months （P 〈 0.001） after cataract surgery. Endothelial cell loss rate after cataract surgery increased over the 6-month study duration in both ECCE group （P 〈 0.001） and phacoemulsification group （P 〈 0.001）, but phacoemulsification resulted in a greater reduction in ECD than that of ECCE in transplanted corneal grafts （P 〈 0.001）. There was no signifcant difference in postoperative BCVA between the two groups （P = 0.065）. Conclusion： ECCE is more suitable than phacoemulsification in cataract surgery in complicated cataract after PKP.
