Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 2001;21(3):182-184
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of phacoemulsification and low powered posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in high myopia. Methods Phacoemulsification was performed on 128 eyes of 84 patients with cataract in high myopia through scleral tunnel incision. Average phaco time was 201s and ultrasonic energy was 33.8%. Results The visual acuity 0.4 or better on the first day, in the first week and first month after the operations was in 71.1%,75.8%,79.7%respectively. Three months after surgery, 22.6% reached the vision of 1.0. The main cause of the poor result is due to the pathologic changes of the fundus in high myopia. The major complications were corneal edema (4.3%), fibrinous exudate in anterior chamber (1.6%) and rupture of posterior capsule (2.3%). Conclusion Phacoemulsification and low powered posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation offers advantages of better rehabilitation of visual acuity, proper correction of ametropia, prevention of retinal detachment and is an unitable technique for highly myopia cataract patients.

Objective To analyze the method of self-management education on the health status of patients with gastric carcinoma during chemotherapy. Methods Patients with gastric carcinoma (60 cases) were divided into the test group and the control group with 30 cases in each group. The two groups both received chemotherapy of complete cycle and general health education. The test group adopted self-management education based upon the above treatment, including collective education, group discussion and individual instruction. The treatment effect was appraised and compared by senior primary nurses. Results The recent total effective rate of chemotherapy in the test group was 76.7%, which was higher than that of the control group (50.0%). The level of life quality of the test group was also better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients-centered self-management education could improve the health status of patients with gastric carcinoma during chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of applying compound lidocaine cream on tracheal mucosa as topical anesthesia to reduce the stress reaction during extubation of tracheal tube. Methods Sixty patients (aged 18-65yr,body weight 40-80kg,ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ) scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were selected,and they were randomly divided into compound lidocaine cream group (group L,n=30) and control group (group C,n=30). Orotracheal intubation was performed in all the patients. Compound lidocaine cream was uniformly smeared on the foremost third of endotracheal tubes before intubation in group L,and no drug was coated on endotracheal tubes in group C. The changes in blood pressure and heart rates during extubation,the use of hypotensive drugs,cough reflex,breath holding,sore throat and pharyngeal discomfort after extubation were compared between the two groups. Results The operation and intubation time of the two groups showed no significant difference. The blood pressure and heart rate during extubation,the rate of using hypotensive drugs,and the incidence of cough reflex and breath holding were lower in group L than in group C,while the foreign body sensation in pharynx were after extubation was more frequent in group L than in group C. The incidence of pharyngodynia was similar in the two groups,and the pharyngodynia and foreign body sensation in pharynx markedly improved one day after operation in both groups. Conclusion Topical anesthesia of tracheal mucosa using compound lidocaine cream may reduce the cough reflex and breath holding during extubation,and inhibit the stress reaction.
