简介：目的分析白内障超声乳化加人工晶体植入联合小梁切除术中单切口术式和双切口术式对手术效果的影响.方法28例（31眼）青光眼合并白内障病例分为A、B两组.A组（单切口组）：15例（17眼）,巩膜隧道切口行白内障超乳＋IOL植入＋小梁切除术；B组（双切口组）：13例（14眼）,透明角膜切口行白内障超乳＋IOL植入,上方做传统小梁切除术.分析比较两组术后眼压、视力及并发症情况,随访3-6月.结果术后随访3-6月,两组视力均有提高.眼压：A组术前平均眼压33.21mmHg,术后16.24mmHg;B组：术前平均眼压34.25mmHg,术后15.74mmHg.术后眼压与术前相比,两组均有明显差异性；术后平均眼压两组之间无明显差异性.术后并发症无明显差异,功能性滤过泡数量两组之间无明显差异.结论超乳青光眼白内障联合手术,单切口和双切口术式均有良好的降低眼压、提高视力的作用,是治疗闭角型青光眼合并白内障安全、有效的方法.

简介：鼻出血是耳鼻咽喉科常见的急症，出血部位大多位于鼻腔前段，其中鼻中隔利氏区最为常见，治疗比较容易。而难治性鼻出血是耳鼻咽喉科难治病症之一。下鼻道穹隆顶部出血为比较常见的难治性鼻出血，多系动脉破裂出血，出血较凶猛，量大。因该出血部位隐匿、深在，鼻腔止血、填塞较困难。本科对明确诊断为下鼻道穹隆顶部出血的难治性鼻出血30例（2008年1月～2010年1月）患者行下鼻道局部出血点烧灼和21例（2010年1月～2012年1月）患者行下鼻道局部出血点烧灼＋鼻后外侧动脉区烧灼的止血效果进行了比较，现将结果报告如下。

简介：目的：探讨眼附属器B细胞非霍杰金淋巴瘤（B—cellnon-Hodgkinlymphoma，NHL）中Skp2，p27和PTEN的表达。方法：收集1995年到2011年青岛大学附属医院眼科石蜡包埋标本，用免疫组化法分别检测眼附属器B细胞NHL（n=30）标本中Skp2，p27和PTEN的表达，以眼部反应性淋巴组织增生（n=10）作为对照组。以患者的年龄、性别、发病部位，病理类型作为眼附属器B细胞NHL的的分类标准。结果：Skp2，p27和PTEN的表达与患者的年龄、性别、发病部位无关，而与病例类型有关。眼附属器B细胞NHLSkp2表达率与眼部反应性淋巴组织增生相比显著增高。p27，PTEN表达率与反应性淋巴组织增生相比显著降低。随眼附属器B细胞NHL病理分级的提高，Skp2的表达显著增高，p27和PTEN的表达显著降低。在黏膜相关淋巴组织结（mucosa—associatedlymphoidtissue，MALT）外边缘区B细胞淋巴瘤（diffuselargeB—celllymphoma，DLBCL）中，Skp2分别与p27，VFEN成负相关，p27和PTEN成正相关。结论：Skp2的表达升高，p27，PTEN蛋白的缺失以及可能与眼附属器B细胞NHL的发生有关；其中在MALT外边缘区DLBCL中，三种蛋白存在相关性。联合三种蛋白的检测眼附属器B细胞NHL的不同病理类型有重要意义。

简介：目的分析比较角膜地形图与散瞳检影两种方法所测得的散光及与近视度数的关系。方法采用角膜地形图对290只准备行LASIK手术的近视眼进行检查,同时采用散瞳检影法检查记录近视度数及散光并对两种方法所得数据进行比较分析。结果两种方法在散光轴向上无显著性差异(P＞0．5)；而在散光度数方面有非常显著差异(P＜0．01)。角膜地形图检查及检影法所测得的散光度数均与屈光度增高成正比。结论角膜地形图能快速而准确地提供角膜的屈光状态指标；全眼散光仍应以散瞳检影后患眼接受的度数和散光轴作为标准；散光度数均与屈光度增高成正比。
