简介:目的探讨基层医院白内障手术从现代囊外摘除术(ECCE)到超声乳化术(phacoemulsification)的过渡.方法对有EccE手术经验的医生,通过130目艮动物实验后,进行100例老年性白内障Phaco带教培训.结果术后1天视力≥0.3者94%,≥0.5者83%;术后3月视力≥0.3者96%,≥0.5者90%,人工晶体植入率100%,无角膜失代偿、核坠落、视网膜脱落等严重并发症,实现了从ECCE到Phaco的安全过渡.结论基层医生只要以严谨、积极的科学态度进行学习,有扎实的显微手术基础,严格选择病例,配以良好的设备,强调规范化操作,同样能成功地完成转化过程,开展较高质量的白内障超声乳化手术.
简介:目的了解幼儿耳部疾病情况,为制定幼儿人群听力损失的防治策略提供科学依据。方法用横断面现场调查法对句容市幼儿园在园幼儿进行耳部疾病的问卷调查及耳科检查。数据采用SPSS15.0统计软件进行处理。结果共调查2.5—7岁幼儿9348人,男性4819人(51.56%)、女性4528人(48.44%)。所调查幼儿的耳部疾病患病率为4.14%,各年龄段差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05),但男性(4.19%)与女性(4.08%)幼儿耳部疾病患病率差异无统计学意义(P〉0.75)。患中耳炎242人,占耳部疾病患者的62.50%。Logistic多元回归结果显示,分泌性中耳炎、年龄、耵聍栓塞、急性中耳炎、慢性化脓性中耳炎、遗传性家族史、早产及低体重、新生儿窒息均与耳部疾病相关。结论目前幼儿人群中,耳部疾病的患病率仍较高,定期体格检查的项目中宜包括耳鼻咽喉科内容,积极制定预防幼儿耳部疾病及听力损失的策略和方案很有必要。
简介:目的探讨医院及家庭联合治疗大龄儿童弱视的临床效果。方法选择7~15岁的大龄儿童73例(113眼),采用医院及家庭联合实施弱视综合疗法对患儿进行治疗,并对临床资料进行总结、分析。结果113眼中有96眼有效,总有效率84.96%,其中基本痊愈61眼(53.98%)、进步35眼(30.97%)、无效17眼(15.93%)。17例无效眼中,屈光度超过±10.00D者6眼、斜视伴双眼无同视功能5眼、眼颤者1眼、散光超过4.00D者2眼、家庭不配合未坚持治疗者3眼。轻、中度弱视的疗效优于重度弱视;中心注视的疗效优于旁中心注视。结论医院及家庭联合治疗大龄儿童弱视能取得满意疗效,需要医务人员、家属和儿童的共同配合。只有充分调动弱视患儿成长环境中关系密切的群体力量,才能提高其治疗效果。因此对大龄儿童的弱视治疗,除科学、系统及规范的治疗外,还应积极地提高家庭支持度。

简介:目的探讨榄香烯对人喉癌Hep-2细胞生长的影响和作用机制.方法用四甲基偶氮唑盐法(methylthiazolyltetrazoliumassay,MTT)测定榄香烯对喉癌细胞的抑制作用;以透射电镜来观察其形态学变化;采用DNA末端标记法(terminaldeoxynucleotidy1transferasemediateddeoxyuridinetriphosphatenickendlabelingmethod,TUNEL)研究细胞凋亡数;用免疫组化分析bcl-2蛋白在Hep-2细胞中的表达.结果榄香烯明显抑制Hep-2细胞的生长;透射电镜观察到染色质浓缩,沿着核膜排列,形成不同形状和大小的块状;DNA末端标记法说明,凋亡细胞数随药物浓度的提高逐渐增高;免疫组化结果提示榄香烯能使Hep-2细胞bcl-2蛋白表达降低.结论榄香烯能够抑制喉癌细胞的生长,其抑制作用与细胞凋亡有关,作用机制可能与bcl-2表达降低有关.
简介:目的探讨基层医院小切口非超声乳化白内障囊外摘除联合人工晶体植人手术技巧。方法我院2005年8月至2014年5月采用小切口非超声乳化白内障囊外摘除联合人工晶体植入257例(263眼),对其术后视力及术中、术后并发症进行临床分析。结果术后出院视力均有不同程度的提高,视力低于0.1者6只眼,占2%,0.1~0.3者19只眼,占7%,0.3~0.5者84只眼,占32%,0.5~0.8者115只眼,占44%,0.8以上者39只眼,占15%。7-10天复诊视力进一步提高。结论小切口非超声乳化白内障囊外摘除联合人工晶体植入手术疗效显著,实用性强,易于操作,成本低,非常适合在基层医院推广。
简介:目的探讨基层医院开展高龄老人白内障超声乳化吸除术应注意的问题,手术难点及处理对策,旨在减少手术并发症,提高成功率。方法对109只眼,75—84岁老人白内障超声乳化吸除术作回顾性总结和分析。结果术后一周视力0.5以上68只眼,占63%。视力0.1—0.3者14只眼,占13%。0.3—0.5者23只眼,占21%。4只眼未脱盲,占3%术中并发症为后囊破裂,未发生核坠入玻璃体,无严重全是并发症发生,术后并发症主要是角膜水肿,未发生大泡性角膜炎。结论本组病例疗效满意。无严重并发症发生。手术成功的关键是要充分了解高龄白内障老人眼部及全身生理特点,对各种手术并发症的原因和表现有清醒的认识,具备扎实的手术操作技巧。
