Abstract?AlM:To compare the effects of different adjustable suture in glaucoma trabeculectomy on early tear film function.?METHODS:Sixty-eight cases of primary glaucoma ( 76 eyes) during January 2012 to June 2014 in our hospital were selected and divided into exposure conjunctival suture group ( 34 cases, 36 eyes ) and embedded conjunctival suture group ( 34 cases, 40 eyes ) according to treatment. Adjustable suture exposed conjunctival suture and embedding conjunctival suture was given to two groups, respectively. lntraocular pressure ( lOP ) before and after treatment 7, 14, 30d were observed and Schirmer test, tear break-up time, No Hikaru sensitivity and the occurrence of adverse reactions after treatment 1, 30d were recorded.?RESULTS: After the treatment, the mean lOP of two groups were decreased significantly ( P < 0. 05 ). The average lOP after treatment of 1d in the two groups were not statistically different (P>0. 05), after treatment 7, 14, 30d embedded conjunctival suture group was significantly higher than that of exposure conjunctival suture group ( P<0. 05). After 1d of treatment, Schirmer test, tear break-up time, No Hikaru sensitivity of two groups compared no significant difference (P<0. 05). After treatment 7, 14, 30d embedded conjunctival suture group Schirmer test, tear break- up time, was significantly superior to expose conjunctiva suture group (P<0. 05). The 30d package after treatment of conjunctival suture group buried adverse reaction rate was significantly lower than that of exposed conjunctival suture group (P<0. 05).? CONCLUSlON: Trabeculectomy operation with adjustable thread embedding conjunctival suture has few effects on the tear film function in patients with early postoperative complications, lower, and operation effect is better than that of exposed conjunctival suture.

Objective To investigate the state of endemic fluorosis, running status of water improvement project to reduce fluoride in Jiangsu province, and to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of endemic fluorosis. Methods In 2008, in the ten key counties of endemic fluorosis (zone), in Xuzhou,Lianyungang and Suqian, a stratified sampling method was employed to select 40 diseased villages according to their past water fluoride survey data. All children aged 8 to 12 were examined dental fluorosis, and all adults over 16 years were examined clinical skeletal fluorosis. Thirty per cent of the 40 diseased villages were selected, and 20 adults over the age of 16 in each selected village were examined by X-ray, respectively;50% of the 40 diseased villages were selected, and 30 any time urine samples of children aged 8 to 12 in each diseased village were tested urine fluoride. In each city, select a county, the status of water improvement project to reduce fluoride, water supply capacity and coverage in the county were investigated. Results A total of 3560 children aged 8 to 12 were examined, the detection rate of dental fluorosis was 38.51% (1371/3560), tooth defect rate was 5.34% (190/3560), and dental fluorosis index was 0.8. Seven hundred and eight urine samples were tested, the median urinary fluoride was 1.47 mg/L and the range was 0.08 ~ 10.08 mg/L. Clinical detection of skeletal fluorosis was 21.3% among adults over the age of 16, and X-ray detection rate of skeletal fluorosis was 39.2% (123/314).Investigated a total of 248 facilities of centralized water improvement projects, no funds to run or damaged 49, the water fluoride > 1.0 mg/L was 18. Conclusions Endemic fluorosis in Northern Jiangsu province has not been controlled completely, but has a rising trend, we should further strengthen the supervision of water fluoride reduction.
