1.Posterior synechiae after Nd: YAG laser iridectomy
Ophthalmology in China 1993;0(03):-
150 eyes (85 patients) of angle closure glaucoma treated with Nd: YAG laser iridectomy were analyzed to reveal that the basic factors leading to posterior synechiae were the dosage and duration of miotics used. In the cases with posterior synechiae, miotics of higher dosages were used before and after the laser iridectomy and also a longer duration before the operation than in cases without the sequelae. With posterior synechiae, the pathological damages to the optic nerve worsened with time to affect the visual acuity and the control of IOP, and also interfered with fundus examination and cataract extraction when needed. The study indicated that proper dosage of laser energy,intensive postoperative use of topical steroids, early dilatation of the pupil, and appropriate application of mioties were conducive to the prevention of posterior synechiae.

9.Postoperative management and risk stratification of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma
Chinese Journal of Endocrine Surgery 2016;10(4):265-268
The postoperative management of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is one of the most important parts of management for PTMC,and it includes the initial management and long-term management of PTMC.The initial management of thyroid cancer is based on initial recurrence risk stratification system.The initial risk stratification system can be used to guide initial TSH suppression therapy,RAI assistant therapy and management of follow up.Initial risk assessment of recurrence,as a static representation of the patient in the first few weeks post-operatively,could not be continually updated during follow up.In order to account for the changes of the recurrence risk and disease specific mortality,re-stratification of risk should be performed during follow up,using all the clinical,biochemical,imaging (structural and functional),and cytopathologic findings obtained during follow up.Re-stratification of risk can inform clinicians on degree of ongoing TSH suppression,frequency and intensity of follow-up,and need for additional therapies were recommended in guideline.Adjustment of TSH suppression therapy should incorporate the impact of side effects and set TSH targets to ensure the benefits of TSH suppression outweigh against the potential risks.
