? AlM: To analyze the reason of corneal epithelial implantation and ingrowth after laser in situ keratomileusis ( LASlK ) , and summarize the treatment experiences.
?METHODS: The clinical data of postoperative corneal epithelial ingrowth on 18 cases (30 eyes) from 1 256 cases (2 256 eyes) after LASlK were retrospectively analyzed in our hospital from January 2008 to December 2012. After the treatment of all eyes, patients’ general visual quality scores before and after treatment were analyzed.
?RESULTS:There were 18 cases ( 30 eyes ) with corneal epithelial implantation and ingrowth after LASlK, and the incidence rate was 1. 3%. ln the 18 cases (30 eyes), there were 12 eyes corneal flap epithelial ingrowth caused by postoperative trauma, 12 eyes caused by multiple corneal flap flush, 2 eyes caused by intraoperative irregular corneal flap, and nothing special for 4 eyes. The classification of corneal epithelial ingrowth of 30 eyes:grade I, 11 cases (18 eyes);gradeII, 4 cases (8 eyes);grade Ⅲ, 3 cases ( 4 eyes ) . Grade I-II were treated with TobraDex eye drops and intraocular pressure lowering drug. Grade Ⅲ firstly were treated by drugs, otherwise by surgery if it didn’t improve. After treatment, 8 cases (13 eyes) epithelial ingrowth disappeared from 11 cases ( 18 eyes ) , 3 cases ( 5 eyes ) implanted epithelial tumor shrank in grade l;epithelial implantation of 2 cases (4 eyes) in grade II disappeared, implantation degree of 2 cases (4 eyes) reduced to grade I;2 cases (2 eyes) in grade Ⅲ had 0. 5 ~ 1mm wide flap edge shallow gray ribbon 1 mm inside the limbus, visual acuity was 0. 8 ~1. 2, 1 case ( 2 eyes ) treated with curettage corneal epithelial implantation and endophytic epithelium hadn’t relapsed in the follow-up. After the treatment, 18 cases of corneal epithelial ingrowth got lower visual quality scores than those before therapy (Hc=10. 511, P<0. 01).
?CONCLUSlON: Operation standardized, postoperative early detection and aggressive treatment are important for prevention and treatment of complications after LASlK.

This paper designed an index for the differences in medical service prices and this index therein named the Hospital Price Difference Index ( HPDI) which is used as a quantitative tool for evaluation. During evalua-tion, the paper measured the levels of prices and the factors of influence in 18 public hospitals listed in the Sichuan Province. The results showed that the effect of regulating the levels of prices was reasonable and effective, but was sig-nificantly affected by the internal and external factors. The internal factors have been found to be the medical and clini-cal technologies, and the grade and scale acted as external ones. This paper suggested that the price department should pay more attention on the levels of prices, and hence made a reasonable reform project for the prices by taking the scale of adjustment of prices into account.

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value for baseline levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in morbidity of pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 101510 subjects in Kailuan Group by regular physical examination from 2006-07 to 2007-10, and 94314 subjects were enrolled by relevant criteria including 75252 male and 19062 female. The baseline levels of hs-CRP were divided by quartile levels as①hs-CRP<0.3l mg/L,n=25592,②hs-CRP (0.3l-0.77) mg/L,n=21746,③hs-CRP (0.78-1.9) mg/L,n=23504 and④hs-CRP≥2.0 mg/L,n=23472. The subjects were followed-up for (81.5 ± 4.76) months, the morbidity of PE was collected and the predictive value of baseline levels of hs-CRP for PE occurrence was evaluate by multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. Results: The total PE morbidity was 0.15%, the female subjects were similar with male subjects,P>0.05. As the increased baseline level of hs-CRP, PE occurrence was elevated accordingly,P<0.05. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis presented that with adjusted age, gender, smoking, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), triglyceride (TG), fasting blood glucose (FBG), neutrophile granulocyte (NEU), white blood cells (WBC) and heart rate (HR), the subjects in the highest quartile group had 2.84 times higher risk for PE occurrence than the subjects in the lowest quartile group. With the elevated baseline level of hs-CRP, the subjects’ mean age, BMI, SBP, FBG and NEU levels increased accordingly, allP<0.05; while DBP, TG and HR were similar between quartile③ and quartile④ groups, allP>0.05. WBC counts had the increasing trend in quartile①,②,③ groups and had the decreasing trend in quartile④ group, while it was similar between quartile③ and quartile④ groups,P>0.05. Conclusion: Baseline hs-CRP level may predict the risk of PE morbidity; the increased hs-CRP level could be used as one of the predictors for PE occurrence.
