ObjectiveTo observe the intraoperative techniques of artificial nasolacrimal duct and evaluate the effectiveness.MethodForty-nine cases(56 eyes) ofchronic dacryocystitis underwent artificial nasolacrimal duct placement.The artificial nasolacrimal duct was dilated and the stent was retrogradely placed.Dacryocystography was performed before operation.ResultsArtificial nasolacrimal duct placement was technically successful in 53 eyes(94.64％),improvement rate was 3.57 ％ (2/56).The total effective rate was 98.21％(55/56) after operation.ConclusionInterventional artificial nasolacrimal duct placement is a safe,simple and effective method for the treatment of chronic dacryocystitis.

Background Nowadays,glaucoma is the major cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and the second cause of global visual loss.To accurately obtain the anterior chamber depth (ACD)is of helpful for screening primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to explore the difference and agreement in the measurement of ACD between Scheimplug Imaging System (Pentacam)and ultra-sonographic biomicroscope (UBM).MethodsSeventy-seven eyes of 77 PACG patients aged (69.96±7.87)were divided into two groups.Thirty-seven eyes with acute primary angle-closure glaucoma (APACG)were assigned to group 1,and forty eyes with chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG)were assigned to group 2.Central ACD was measured with Pentacam and UBM,respectively.The Bland-Altman method was used to evaluate the agreement of the two methods.ResultsThe ACD values measured by Pentacam and UBM were (1.6467±0.2687)mm and (1.5601±0.2677)mm respectively in APACG,indicating a significant difference (t=-7.259,P<0.01)and a positive linear correlation between the results of these two methods (r=0.939,P<0.01).The ACD values measured by Pentacam and UBM were (2.0622±0.2317)mm and (1.9648±0.2176)mm respectively in CPACG eyes with a significant difference between them(t=-10.433,P<0.01)and a significant linear correlation between these two outcomes (r=0.967,P<0.01).The Bland-Altman method showed that the two modalities had comparable results for ACD.ConclusionPentacam,as a new 3-dimensional mathematical model of the anterior segment,presents some different results from UBM in the measurement of ACD,but it is not clinically significant.Combination of Pentacam and UBM may be available for the clinical measurement of ACD.

Objective To compare the healing effect of compound tibial and fibular fractures with two different fixation methods of external fixators (EF) and interlocking intramedullary nail ( INF). Methods Eighty-six cases of compound tibial and fibular fractures received different treatment, 36 cases in EF group and 50 cases in INF group. The difference between two groups was statistically analyzed according to WU Yue-song and XU Bo-cheng standard and Johner-Wruh score. Results All cases were followedup for 6-24 months,average (16.0 ± 2.4) months. The excellent and good rate were 80.6% (29/36) in EF group and 88.0%(44/50) in INF group respectively. There was no significant difference between two groups (Z =-1.103,P ＞0.05). Conclusions To the compound tibial and fibular fractures patients,INF can be considered as an effective method. It's an important therapy choice with EF to heal the compound tibial and fibular fractures.

Based on the physical characteristic of ultrasound, the images of body tissues can be obtained through ultrasonic medical technology, which is another flourishing cross-linked branch of BME after X ray technology. Being non-invasive, painless and reusable, ultrasonic medical technology is suitable for the examination and treatment of the soft tissue. This paper introduces such of ultrasonic technology as its basic principle, developing prospect and application to clinical medicine.

In the field of medical engineering, ultrasonic Doppler technology develops rapidly and gains wide application. MICS-51 is one of the main series of MCU family and has been widely used in China. In this paper, the ultrasound Doppler error detection equipment based on MCS-51 is introduced.

Objective: To establish a method for determination of methone and pulegone in Herba Schizonepetae. Methods: The contents of menthone and pulegone were determined by GC (equipped with FID) with HP-5 fused capillary column (5% phenyl methyl siloxane 30m?0.32mm?0.25?m) after the samples were extracted by the solvents. Results: The linear ranges were 0.002-5.0g/L (r=0.9999) for menthone and 0.002-5.0g/L (r=0.9996) for pulegone, the recoveries of menthone and pulygone were 96.30%-103.9% and 95.7%-102.5%, respectively. Conclusion: The method was simple and accurate, which could be applied to the determination of menthone and pulegone in Herba Schizonepetae.

Objective To explore the prenatal indications and pregnant outcome of balanced transloca-tion at amniocentesis, so as to provide scientific guidelines of prenatal diagnosis for local pregnant women. Methods Retrospective review was made on 76 cases of balanced translocation at amniocentesis from 2011 to 2015 at our hospital. Results In 76 cases, 38 cases were aged pregnancy prenatally, 20 cases carriers, 9 cas-es abnormal serum screening , 5 cases with previous abnormal births , 2 cases with abnormal ultrasound findings and 2 cases with other problems. Conclusion Balanced translocation concomitant aneuploidy , de novo X-auto-some translocation or de novo complex chromosome rearrangements can cause fetal abnormalities on prenatal di-agnosis. The results of ultrasound, FISH and array-CGH could provide for de novo simple translocation at amnio-centesis.
