Objective To analyze the clinical risk factors of the occurrence of severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) after scleral reattachment surgery. Methods A total of 4 031 eyes of 4 031 consecutive patients with reghmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and PVR (grade C1 or less), on whom the scleral buckling was performed, were retrospectively studied. Twenty-two clinical characteristics of the patients (including the ocular tension, condition of lens and vitreous, characteristics of retinal detachment, whether or not with choroidal detachment, et al) were recorded. In 4 031 patients, 2 660 were followed up for more than 3 months, and 72 (in PVR group) of the 2 660 patients underwent the second surgery (vitreoretinal surgery) because of the occurrence of postoperative severe PVR; in the other 2 588patients, 72 (72 eyes) with retinal reattachment for more than 3 months were selected randomly as the control. The data were analyzed in SPSS (10.0) software. Results Logistic regression analysis revealed that the significant risk factors for PVR were incomplete posterior vitreous detachment (P2 DD,P

OBJECTIVE To explore t he significance of reducing the incidence rate of airway burn of CO2 laser laryngeal surgery by spreading the idea of grading prevention st rateg y. M ETHODS We retrospectively reviewed the data of laryngeal lesions treated by the endoscopic CO2 laser surgery from Feburary 1992 to December 2016. The period was divided into two stages, the first one is from Feburary 1992 to December 2008, and the second one is from January 2009 to December 2016. We will distinguish the difference of airway burn between the two stages. RESULTS Four cases of airway burn were found in the first stage including 3 cases of glottic cancer and 1 case of vocal cord polyp with Reink's edema. But no airway burn happened in the second stage. Two cases of endotracheal intubation cuff broken by laser were found promptly, but with FiO2 decreasing from 70% to 30%, wet gauze filling subglottic region and the endotracheal tube reserved, the laser surgery proceeded till airway burn happened. The endotracheal intubation cuffs of the remaining two cases kept intact intraoperatively, the FiO2 was 70% when airway burn happened. One case had the cervical tracheal stenosis with long-term tracheotomy, The other 3 cases had no postoperative complications. CONCLUSION The grading prevention strategy is helpful for reducing airway burn during the CO2 laser surgery of larynx.

Objective To introduce improved program for traction wire production in endoscopic submucosal dis-section assisted by oral traction. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 40 patients who received en-doscopy intervention. Through the use of improved traction and normal traction, they were divided into experimental group and control group. Then analyze and compare their clinical data like gender, age, traction line installed perfect time, fixed lesions after hemostatic clip off times, one-time complete resection, enbloc resection rate, bleeding and perforation and other complications and other clinical conditions. Results The improvement time was (53.30 ±12.85) s in experimental group, it was significantly shorter than that in control group (105.00 ± 11.68) s ( = 3.42, <0.05). The experimental group fixed lesions after hemostatic clamp off times were significantly less than that in con-trol group (χ2=2.37, <0.05). Conclusions Using innovative methods, adequate preoperative preparation, the op-erator's tacit understanding of nursing cooperation, close attention to the disease after surgery is the key to achieve the desired results of endoscopic surgery.
