简介:目的:分析白内障术中矫正角膜散光对人工晶状体度数预测的影响。方法:选择老年性白内障患者35例35眼,行上方切口超声乳化联合PMMA人工晶状体植入术后角膜散光减少,测量术前和术后3mo的角膜曲率及屈光状态。比较SRKⅡ,SRK/T,HolladayⅠ公式在使用术前和术后角膜曲率值计算的绝对预测误差。结果:手术前后平均角膜曲率增加0.30±0.81D,角膜散光度数减少0.70±0.71D,都有统计学意义(P〈0.05),两者的相关性为(r=-0.554,P〈0.01)。SRKⅡ,SRK/T,HolladayⅠ使用术前角膜曲率计算的绝对预测误差中位数分别为0.85D,0.73D,0.78D,公式间无统计学差异(χ^24.474,P〉0.05);使用术后角膜曲率计算则分别为0.72D,0.54D,0.46D,有统计学差异(χ^2=7.758,P〈0.05);3代公式在两种计算方法下结果有有统计学差异(Z=-2.208,-2.273,P〈0.05)。结论:矫正角膜散光会引起角膜屈光度变化,导致人工晶状体度数的预测误差增大,计算公式尤其是3代公式的准确性下降,有必要对公式进行相应调整优化。

简介:目的通过安徽省某县09年度与11年度分别开展的贫困白内障复明手术各300例(300眼),手术结果的比较,探讨防盲手术培训的重要性。方法手术均由通过培训与再培训并获得资格认证的两位医生完成。术前视力〈0.1,排除其他眼病及严重全身疾病。手术方式统一为小切口非超声乳化白内障摘除及人工晶状体植入术,植入的人工晶状体均为Alton晶状体,粘弹剂为玻璃酸钠(其胜,上海产)。术前、术后处理按照安徽省防盲手术要求执行。结果比较两年度病人的早期术后视力,术中及术后早期并发症,09年度与11年度比较,术后第一天裸眼视力≥0.3比率由49.5%上升至60.4%;术中玻璃体脱出由7%降至4%;角膜水肿发生率由16%降至11%;其他并发症同样明显减少。而每例白内障手术时间也由40分钟减少至22分钟。结论11年度手术质量明显好于09年。并且09年手术是在省防盲中心派一名教师现场指导下完成,而11年度则是完全是独立完成。这些结果均提示通过有效的防盲手术培训,能以明显的提高白内障手术质量;同时也充分证实了防盲手术培训是非常重要的。
简介:目的本文报道了12例同时性多灶性喉癌并通过分析其临床病理学特点,探讨多灶性喉癌的发生学来源.方法回顾性分析1991~2001年间我院行全喉切除术的12例同时性多灶性喉癌的TNM分期、肿瘤位置、大小、组织学类型、病理学分级以及病史等.结果同时性多灶性喉癌的发病率是1.4%(12/861).所有病理均为鳞状细胞癌.同一病例各病灶的组织学类型和病理学分级均相同.二病灶喉癌的发生率占总数的91.7%(11/12),仅一例为三病灶喉癌、67%(8/12)患者中二病灶分别位于双声带游离缘的对应处.3例(25%)有术前放疗史,1例术前曾行多次声带活检为不典型增生.所有病例术前均未诊断出多灶性.结论声门型同时性多灶性喉癌可能为单中心起源.腔内种植即声带振动时癌细胞从一侧声带游离缘种植到对侧接触损伤处,可能是喉癌多灶性的原因之一,放疗可能是多灶性喉癌的诱发因素.
简介:目的探讨电话回访、微信等方式对闭角型青光眼患者出院后进行延伸护理服务,以提高患者遵医行为和改善护患关系的影响。方法将160例闭角型青光眼患者随机分为对照组和观察组各80例,对观察组患者于出院后第一周开始电话回访,以后分别于两周、一月、三月、六月、一年回访。对照组采用常规方法。一年后对2组患者遵医行为和再入院人数及满意度进行评价。结果观察组患者在随访期间遵医行为人数及满意度调查,明显好于对照组,再入院人数明显少于对照组(P〈0.01)。结论延伸护理服务有利于患者掌握闭角型青光眼相关的健康教育知识,增强患者遵医行为,调动患者的主观能动性,对延缓病情进展、预防并发症、减少再入院次数、减轻经济负担、提高生活质量起到了促进作用。
