Repairing of lacrimal canalicular laceration has some controversies on the golden time of surgery, the suture method, and the materials for stent. Recently, intubation of silicone tubes has become popular for repair of lacrimal canalicular injuries. Thirty-two cases of injured lacrimal canaliculi were repaired with use of silicone tube stents. The surgery can be done with monocanalicular(10 patients) or bicanalicular(22 patient) methods. The follow-up period was from two to eighteen months(mean ten months). Seven cases using the monocanalicular method and nineteen cases using the bicanalicular method were successful. Three cases of monocanalicular method had epiphora with canalicular obstruction due to early loss of the silicone tube. In monocanalicular method, postoperative complications were punctal granuloma(1 case), punctal slits(2 cases), and early loss of the silicone tube(3 cases). In bicanalicular method, postoperative complications were persistent epiphora during the period of intubaion(4 cases), conjunctival irritation sign(3 cases) and loop retraction(1 case). In conclusion, the success rate of bicanalicular stents were higher than that of monocanalicular stents for canalicular laceration. But the bicanalicular stent had some complications including cosmetic problem, possibility of injuries to the normal canaliculus during intubation, conjuntival irritation sign, and loop retraction.

Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome is a rare and autosomal recessive disorder characterized by obesity, hypogenitalism, polydactylism, mental retardation and retinitis pigmentosa. Occasionally, this syndrome is accompanied by nystagmus, cataract, syndactylism, microcephaly, oxycephaly and congenital heart diseases. Recently, the authors have experienced a 20-year-old male patient who has retinitis pigmentosa, pendular nystagmus, obesity, hypogenitalism, polydactylism, mental retardation and gynecomastia. We report a case of Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome with the review of literature.

Accommodation may depend upon such factors as age and refraction. The authors measured and analyzed lens thickness and anterior chamber depth of an emmetropic group(7 persons, 14 eyes) and a myopic group(8 persons, 16 eyes) in adult of second decade during near fixation(30 cm), and weak cycloplegic state with 1% tropicamide eye drop using the Storz OMEGA Compuscan.There were statistically significant difference between accommodation and cycloplegic state in lens thickness and anterior chamber depth(p<0.0l, p<0.05). In the myopic group there was negative correlation between lens thickness and axial length and between lens thickness and anterior chamber depth(r=-0.60(p<0.0l), r=-0.48(p<0.05)). The authors determined that there was not the same difference value of lens thick ness as that of anterior chamber depth between accommodation and cycloplegic state; being 0.04 mm(25%) in emmetropic group and 0.02 mm(22%) in myopic group.

In an attempt to assess the evidence of foveal color vision abnormality in diabetic patients, the foveal threshold (dB) of white, red, green, and blue color were tested in a normal control group (24persons, 48eyes) and in a diabetic patient group (30persons, 59eyes) by Allergan Humphrey Field Analyzer (Model(R) 640). The diabetic patients wrer divided into 3groups: non-retinopathic group less than 5 year duration (18eyes), non-retinopathic group less than 5year duration (18eyes), non-retinopathic group more than 5year duration (21eyes), and BDR (20eyes). In the normal control group the threshold was gradually increased in white, red, blue, and green colors and the threshold of the green color was highest but the threhold of the blue color was highest in the non-retinopathic diabetic group with more than a 5year duration and BDR There were no statistically significant differences in the threshold between the white and green color amomg groups. But, the threshold of the blue color was singificantly increased in BDR and the non-retinopathic diabetic diabetic group more than 5year duration that the normal group (p Color Vision ; Humans

Duplication of the renal pelvis and ureter is the most common congenital anomaly of the upper urinary tract. The three most important abnormalities associated with duplicated kidney are vesicoureteral reflux, ectopic ureter and ureterocele. Herein we present three cases of unilateral, complete duplicated ureter in children associated with ectopic ureteral orifice, vesicoureteral reflux and ectopic ureterocele, respectively, with review of related literatures. They have suffered from urinary incontinence with normal voiding since birth, recurrent urinary tract infection and protruding mass from the urethral meatus on straining respectively. Two cases of them were treated with partial nephrectomy and ureterectomy, the third was performed partial nephrectomy, ureterectomy and ureterocelectomy.
