The pterygia is an ocular diseases with a multifactorial etiology and is found more commonly in tropical areas such as Vietnam. The surgical treatment of pterygia is still a big challenge to opthalmologists due to high rate of its recurrent. In this study we performed the conjunctival autograft transplantation (CAT) on 66 patients (81 eyes) of recurrent pterygia with dramatically success: 79 eyes (97.5%) have excellent and good results. There are 2 eyes (2.5%) have light proliferation of fibrovascular tissue in the border of graft. This study showed that CAT is good procedure for preventation of recurrent pterygium and should be applied popularly in the departments of ophthalmology of the provinces.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of conjunctival autograft with single intraoperative application of MMC 0.04% within 3 minutes in primary and recurrent pterygium and to compare this method with other’s. Sixty three patients (68 eyes: 50 eyes with primary and 18 eyes with recurrent pterygium) underwent pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft and single application of MMC 0.045/3 minutes. Patients were followed from 3 to 12 months after operation. Results: recurent rate of 1.96% (1 eye) was observed in the group of recurrent pterygium. There were 2 cases of superficial punctuate keratitis. Conclusion: this study indicates that intraoperative administration of a single dose of 0.04% MMC with conjunctival autograf is an effective treatment for prevention of recurrence of pterygium

OBJECTIVETo explore the aesthetic result of dense-packing single-hair grafting for eyelash.

METHODSTwenty-six female cases were treated with the donor sites at the occipital safe area. The single-hair grafts were made with the hair of 4cm in length. The grafts were transplanted to the upper lid margin with needle technique, 30-40 grafts at each side.

RESULTSThe hair grafts survived very well with good growth direction. It looked even better when it had a permanent wave or the mascara was applied. The survival rate of hair grafts was more than 95%.

CONCLUSIONSIt is feasible to improve the shorter and thinner eyelash by dense-packing single-hair grafts.

Despite the correction of secondary renal hyperparathyroidism after successful kidney transplantation, some recipients have persistent hyperparathyroidism due to autonomous hypertrophied parathyroid glands. St. Goar first identified and termed this disease as tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Surgery, either subtotal parathyroidectomy or total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation, is the main treatment for tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Here, we report a case of a patient with tertiary hyperparathyroidism after two times of kidney transplantation who underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy and also review the relevant literature.
