Objective To explore the clinical therapeutic methods for secondary glaucoma induced by the migration of silicone oil into the anterior chamber.Methods Totally 26 cases of such secondary glaucoma,including 22 aphakic eyes and 4 phakic eyes were subjected.Silicone oil was directly taken out for the patients whose retina was reposited well after silicone oil injection for over 3 months.The aphakic patients underwent 6 o'clock position peripheral iridectomy with laser or operation on prone position,then silicon oil was reinjected,and trabeculectomy was carried out through inferior cornea.The phakic patients received silicone oil aspiration with Healon from the anterior chamber.When silicone oil remigrated into the anterior chamber,the crystal was resected,silicone oil was reinjected,and 6 o'clock position peripheral iridectomy were performed.The patients were followed up for 3 months after the intraocular pressure(IOP) reaching normal range.Results Except one patient gave up treatment,all the patients had stable and normal IOP after 3 months of follow-up.IOP was controlled through different methods in 21 aphakic eyes:5 with prone position,5 with 6'clock position peripheral iridectomy through laser or operation,4 with silicon oil reinjecting,2 with direct aspiration of silicone oil,and 3 with trabeculectomy under cornea.IOP was controled in all of phakic eyes:3 with Healon aspiration of silicone oil,1 with crystal resection and reinjection of silicone oil.Conclusion Secondary glaucoma induced by migration of silicone oil into the anterior chamber can be satisfactorily treated by many ways.
2.Clinical study on primary frozen shoulder treated by warm acupuncture, manipulation combined with western medicine
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2018;40(10):934-937
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of warm acupuncture,manipulation combined with western medicine in the treatment of primary frozen shoulder. Methods A total of 90 patients with primary frozen shoulder, from October 2015 to February 2017, were randomly divided into three groups (n=30):the western medicine group, the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) group and the integrated TCM and western medicine group. The western medicine group was treated with local block and intra-articular injection. The TCM group was treated with acupuncture combined with manipulation. The integrated TCM and western medicine group were treated with western medicine and TCM. The three groups were treated for four weeks. The shoulder function (Constant-Murley shoulder scores) and shoulder pain (VAS scores) were evaluated in the three groups after treatment. Results The effective rate in TCM and western medicine group was 100% versus TCM group 83.3%,and Western medicine group 76.7%, which showed significantly higher differnce among three groups (P<0.05). The Constant-Murley shoulder scores in TCM and western medicine group were (72.4 ± 3.8 vs. 67.5 ± 4.5, 58.9 ± 5.4), which were significantly higher than those in TCM group and western medicine group (P<0.05). The VAS scores in TCM and western medicine group were (1.6 ± 0.7 vs. 2.5 ± 0.8, 2.7 ± 0.7) which were lower than those in TCM group and western medicine group (P<0.05). Conclusions The combination of warm acupuncture, manipulation and western medicine could improve shoulder function and reduce shoulder pain in patients with primary frozen shoulder..

Objective:To compare the effects of staged percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)after emergency PCI and emergency culprit-only PCI on clinical outcomes of elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)and multivessel disease.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 389 elderly patients with STEMI and multivessel lesions, aged ≥70 years and within 12 h of onset, admitted to the Clinical College of Thoracic Medicine, Tianjin Medical University, between January 2014 and September 2019.According to different revascularization strategies, enrolled patients were divided into the culprit-only PCI group(79.18%, 308)and the staged PCI group(20.82%, 81). Kaplan-Meier analysis and the Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to compare the incidences of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events(MACCE), all-cause death, cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, stroke and ischemia-driven revascularization between the two groups and to evaluate the effects of different revascularization strategies on MACCE and all-cause death.Then subgroup analysis was performed.Results:During a 56-month follow-up, 131 patients developed MACCE and 96 patients died.Compared with the culprit-only PCI group, the staged PCI group had a lower risk of MACCE( HR: 0.404, 95% CI: 0.227-0.716, P=0.002), all-cause death( HR: 0.354, 95% CI: 0.171-0.730, P=0.005), cardiac death( HR: 0.363, 95% CI: 0.157-0.838, P=0.018), and recurrent myocardial infarction( HR: 0.229, 95% CI: 0.055-0.953, P=0.043). There was no significant difference in the incidence of stroke or ischemia-driven revascularization between the two groups( P>0.05). The reduced risk with staged PCI for MACCE and for all-cause mortality persisted in all subgroups.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression revealed that, after adjusting for confounding factors, staged PCI was an independent protective factor for MACCE( HR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.239-0.815, P=0.009)and for all-cause death( HR: 0.390, 95% CI: 0.90, P=0.020). Conclusion:Compared with culprit-only PCI, staged PCI can significantly improve the long-term prognosis of elderly patients ≥70 years with STEMI and multivessel disease within 12 h of onset.
