Objective To provide the endoscopic anatomic basis and anatomic parameters for endoscopic surgical therapy on orbital lesions , and to analyze the advantages and key points of this surgical approach .Methods Five fresh adult heads were used in this experiment .Endonasal thanslamina approach and endoscopic technique were applied to observe important anatomic marks while intraoperative medicalization of the medical rectus muscle was applied to observe the exposure and positioning of important structures and trends of the optic canal and intra orbit .Results Uncinate process was at the lower front corner of middle nasal concha; ethmoidalis bulla was behind the uncinate process , and ethmoidei sinus was reachable after an incision was made on ethmoidalis bulla;anterior ethmoidal artery and posterior ethmoidal artery were the important anatomic landmarks of the inner ethmoidei sinus;optic canal prominence , carotid artery prominence and OCR were the important anatomic landmarks of the inner sphenoid sinus; lamina papyracea was at the lateral wall of ethmoidei sinus , and orbital contents were approacchable after lamina papyracea was cut off ;inside orbit , the optic nerve was approachable through the gap between the medial rectus muscle and inferior rectus muscle .The ophthalmic artery of 9 out of 10 sides of the specimens was originated from the supraclinoidal segment of the internal carotid artery while the remaining one was originated from the cavernous segment of internal carotid artery .There were 7 sides in which ophthalmic artery was located at the inferior lateral of the optic nerve;there were 2 sides in which ophthalmic artery was located at the inferior of the optic nerve; the remaining one was located at the inferior medial of the optic nerve .Conclusion The endoscopic endonasal thanslamina approach can sufficiently expose the optic nerve and the structures in the medical space of the orbit.Uncinate process, ethmoid bulla, anterior ethmoidal artery, posterior ethmoidal artery and posterior ethmoid sinus are the important landmarks of the endoscopic endonasal thanslamina approach .Optic canal prominence , internal carotid artery prominence and OCR are the important landmarks for optic canal decompression .Ophthalmic artery , orbital branches , anterior ethmoidal artery , posterior ethmoidal artery , internal carotid artery are the important vessels . Medialization of the medial rectus muscle is effective to approach the orbital anatomical structures .

Objective To investigate the types,antimicrobial resistance,and disinfectant resistance of pathogens isolated from hospital environmental inanimate surfaces and hands of health care workers (HCWs).Methods Pathogens isolated from hospital environmental inanimate surfaces and hands of HCWs in intensive care units and general wards in 16 hospitals in Beijing were performed bacterial identification,antimicrobial susceptibility testing,and disinfectant re-sistance testing. The carriage of antimicrobial resistance genes and disinfectant genes in pathogens were also detec-ted.Results A total of 979 specimens were collected from inanimate surfaces and hands of HCWs in 16 hospitals,75 (7.66% )pathogenic strains were isolated,78.67% of which were gram-negative bacilli. The top 3 pathogens were Pseud-omonasaeruginosa (P.aeruginosa,n= 24),Enterobactercloacae (E. cloacae,n= 14),and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae,n= 4 ). One P. aeruginosa strain was resistant to aztreonam,gentamycin,tobramycin,ciprofloxacin,and levofloxacin;One E. cloacae strain was resistant to piperacillin,7 strains were resistant to nitrofurantoin;4 K. pneumoni-ae strains were all resistant to piperacillin,2 were resistant to cephalosporins,and 1 was resistant meropenem. P. aerugi-nosahad7drug-resistantgenes,positiverateofmirwas100.00% ;E.cloacaehad4drug-resistantgenes,positiveratesof tem 1and shv were both 100.00% ;K. pneumoniae had 5 drug-resistant genes,positive rates of shv and mir were both 100.00% . The resistant rates of P. aeruginosa and E. cloacae to chlorhexidine gluconate were 4.17% and 57.14% re-spectively,to trichloroisocyanuric acid were both 50.00% ,positive rates of drug-resistant genes (qacE△1-sul 1)were 79. 17% and 57.14% respectively;K. pneumoniae had no resistance to two kinds of disinfectant,dug-resistance gene was not found.Conclusion Multiple common pathogens which can cause healthcare-associated infection exist in hospital environ-mental inanimate surfaces and hands of HCWs,which are dominated by gram-negative bacilli,pathogens had resistance to antimicrobial agents and disinfectant in different degrees.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes and prognosis of thyroid function in the patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC)after antiviral treatment,and to clarify the influence of baseline factors in the changes of thyroid function.Methods 243 CHC patients with normal baseline thyroid function were enrolled. All patients were treated with IFN-alpha-2b(IFN-α2b)combined with ribavirin for 48 weeks.The thyroid function and serum HCV RNA level were assessed at 12,24,36,48,60 and 72 weeks.According to the changes in thyroid function after treatment,the patients were divided into continued normal,subclinical hypothyroidism,hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism groups.The regularity of the changes of thyroid function of the patients in various groups were observed.Results Among 243 CHC patients,82(33.7%)patients had thyroid dysfunction.The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism,hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism were 20.9%(51/243),5.3%(13/243)and 7.4%(18/243),respectively. At the end of 72 weeks,there were 32 (39.0%)patients suffering from subclinical hypothyroidism,12 (14.6%) patients with hypothyroidism and 7 (8.5%) patients with hyperthyroidism rehabilitated.6(7.3%)patients suffering from hypothyroidism turned to subclinical hypothyroidism,and 3(3.7%) patients suffering from hyperthyroidism turned to subclinical hypothyroidism.19(23.2%)patients had no significant change,they performed for continued subclinical hypothyroidism (1,1.2%),hypothyroidism (13,15.9%)and hyperthyroidism (5 , 6.1%).In addition, 3 (3.7%)patients with hyperthyroidism turned to hypothyroidism.An increased risk for hypothyroidism was found in female patients compared with males (P<0.05);the average age of the patients with hyperthyroidism was lower than those of the patients with hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism and continued normal (P<0.05);the baseline levels of GGT in the patients with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism were lower than those of the patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and continued normal(P<0.05).The ratio of the patients with HCV 2a to the patients with hypertyroidism was higher than those of the patients with hypothyroidism,subclinical hypothyroidism and continued normal(P<0.05).Conclusion Thyroid function in the CHC patients can be affected by antiviral treatment. Gender, age, liver function, genotype of HCV are influencing factors for the changes of thyroid function.
