Objective To evaluate results of double eyelid operations with different incisions.Methods 100 patientswere selected randomly from out-patients that accepted double eyelid operation.Half of them were objected to double eyelid operation through a palpebral marginal incision.Incision was designed along the palpebral margin,close to boots of eyelashes.Most of the subcutaneous tissues was cut and removed,and then dermis and tarsal plate were fixed with 5 stitches of suture.About 1-3 mm wide of skin along superior margin was removed reasonably.In another 50 cases.double eyelid operation was performed with conventional incision.Incision was designed 6-8 mm far from the palpebral margin.Most of the subcutaneous tissues was removed.and then dermis and tarsal plate were fixed with 5 stitches of suture.Results Postoperative results were evaluated 5 days and 1 month after operation respectively.Postoperative double eyelid shapes were all satisfled in two groups.Swollen eyedids and scar were more inconspicuous in the cases with the palpebral-marginal incision without impairment on eyelashes.Conclusion Compared with double eyelid operation with conventional incision,blepharoplasty with palpebral margin incision has the same results but with lighter impairment,milder hydropsia and more inconspicuous scar.The key point of this procedure is the fixation of dermis and tarsal plate,keeping a good radian of double eyelid line.

Objective To observe effects of aqueous extractive of Clarke boea herb on mice with gastric ulcer, and provide basis for clinical application.Methods Gastric ulcer model was induced by reserpine. The mice were divided into normal group, model group, ranitidine group, low and high dose of Clarke boea herb groups. Mice in treatment groups were given corresponding drugs by gavage, and the normal group and control group were given the same amount of saline for 4 weeks. The area of gastric ulcer, serum proinflammatory cytokines gastric juice volume, gastric juice acidity, iNOS and COX-2 gene expressions were detected.Results Compared with control group, the gastric ulcer area in low and high dose of Clarke boea herb groups decreased significantly. Clarke boea herb increased the SS and VIP, decreased the MOT and SP serum levels (P<0.05,P<0.01). Clarke boea herb reduced the levels of serum proinflammatory cytokines of IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α and IFN-γ(P<0.05,P<0.01). Clarke boea herb also decreased the genetic expressions of iNOS and COX-2 (P<0.05,P<0.01).ConclusionClarke boea herb has good gastric ulcer preventive effects, and the high dose of Clarke boea herb group showed the best efficiency.
