OBJECTIVE: Some vaginal procedures may be safer, easier and more successful if they could be done under direct sonographic vision of the object. METHODS: All the procedures were done under the guidance of transrectal sonography. Suction curettage, after using curved plastic Karman's cannula, additional curettage was done only when there was probable remaining conceptal tissue seen on sonography. If additional curettage was needed curved metal cannula made in the same form as plastic Karman's cannula is used first and then usual metal curette if the former did not work. A high frequency cautery unit was used for myolysis. Insertion of the flexible curved cautery tip into the myoma mass was done through the uterine cavity and coagulation of the myoma tissue was performed. Myoma biopsies were done with thin loop high frequency cautery tip through laparoscopy and the vagina. RESULTS: Suction curettage in 156 cases of early pregnancy and 2 cases of previous cesarean incision site pregnancy, D&C in 11 cases, chorionic villus sampling in 13 cases, polypectomy in 1 case, myolysis in 1 case and myoma biopsy in 2 cases were done. CONCLUSION: Performing some vaginal procedures under the guidance of transrectal sonography may be better.

Objective Summarize 8 cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has accepted completely video-as-sisted thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy in People's Hospital of Peking University in china,to explore the safety,effectiveness indications and experience of this procedure.Methods Between September 2011 and December 2011,Medical records of 8 cases of non-small cell lung cancer that has accepted complete thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy were reviewed (7 male,1 female).Median patient age was 62.4 years.And median maximal diameter of solid tumors was 2.3 cm.This group consisted of 5 cases of right upper lobe sleeve lobectomy,2 case of left lower lobe sleeve lobectomy and 1 case of left upper lobe sleeve lobectomy.The operation procedure was completely VATS anatomic sleeve lobectomy combined with systematic lymph node resection (at least 3 groups of lymph nodes in the mediastinum area).All procedure were underwent under general anesthesia with double-lumen endotracheal intubation.The patient was placed lateral decubitus position.Three incision were made at the seventh intercostal space on the median axillary line,the fourth intercostal space anterior axillary line and the seventh intercostal space subscapularis line.Bronchial were anastomosed combine with simple continuous suture anastomosis of membranous part of bronchus and simple interrupted suture anastomosis of cartilaginous part of bronchus,and then covered by? Surrounding tissue with blood supply? Results All procedures were carried out smoothly without serious complication.The median operative time was 240min median,the median bronchial anastomosis time was 45 min,the median blood loss was 200 ml,and median number of resected lymph nodes was 19.8.There were no conversion to open thoracotomy.Post operative show pathology squamous cell carcinoma in 7 cases and adenocarcinoma in 1 case.pTNM staging show 1 case of T1a N0 M0,4 cases of T1b N0 M0,2 case of T1b N1 M0 and 1 case of T1b N2 M0.There was 1 case of slight post operative complication.The median postoperative chest tube drainage duration was 7 days,and median postoperative hospital stay was 9 days.All patients were well during the followed up for 3-8 months.Conclusion Completely thoracoscopic sleeve lobectomy was a safe and effective surgical procedure for patients with non-small cell lung cancer; the operative incision placed at the fourth intercostal space anterior on the axillary line was convenient for anastomosis; anastomosis combine with simple continuous suture anastomosis of membranous part of bronchus and simple interrupted suture anastomosis of cartilaginous part of bronchus was a fast and secure mode; keeping azygos vein does not affect the anastomosis.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of video-assisted rigid bronchoscopy in the treatment of benign tumors of tracheobronchus.Methods Seven patients with benign tumors of tracheobronchus were managed with video-assisted rigid bronchoscopic surgery in this hospital from September 2002 to April 2005.The endoscopic procedure was performed under general transvenous anesthesia and jet ventilation.The tumor was firstly frozen or electocoagulated for better bleeding control,and then was removed with a biopsy clamp by parts,with the pedicle treated with freezing,coagulation or argon plasma coagulation(APC).For tumors with a broad pedicle,after the bulk of tumor was ablated under bronchoscope,a conversion to open local resection was carried out.Results All the 7 operations was accomplished smoothly without mortality or severe morbidity.Except one patient with broad pedicle leiomyoma which was resected through thoracotomy after airway clean-up and intubation,all 6 patients with narrow pedicle tumors underwent a complete tumor removal endoscopically.Postoperative pathological reports confirmed the benign diagnosis as 2 cases of hamartoma,3 cases of leiomyoma,1 case of acidophilus granuloma,and 1 case of inflammation.Follow-up observations in the 7 patients for 3~36 months(mean,17.3 months) showed no recurrence.Conclusions Video-assisted rigid bronchoscopy in the treatment of benign tumors of tracheobronchus is safe and reliable.

?AIM:To compare the corrected vision and improvement of visual quality after wearing rigid gas permeable corneal lens ( RGPCL) or spectacles in aphakic patients.?METHODS: We selected 29 aphakic patients ( 29 eyes ) caused by different reasons wearing RGPCL and spectacle.The corrected vision, eye condition and visual quality were observed and all patients were followed up for 6mo.? RESULTS: RGPCL was better than spectacle on corrected vision (P<0.05).The patients who wore RGPCL for long had no corneal complications reported. The patients who wore RGPCL had better subjective visual quality than those wore spectacle.?CONCLUSION: RGPCL is a good choice for correcting high myopia and astigmatism for aphakic patients.The patients'compliance is good. Wearing RGPL long has high safety for patients'ocular surface.
