AIM: To observe the clinical efficacy of adjunctive intravitreous injection with Lucentis for the treatment of neovascular glaucoma ( NVG) .
METHODS:The retrospective case series study included 25 eyes of 25 patients who underwentintravitreous injection with Lucentis. Patients firstly received an intravitreous injection with Lucentis (0. 5mg/0. 05mL), after the regression of neovascularization of the iris, patients accepted different surgical treatments according to different etiopathogenesis condition. Iris, chamber angle neovascularization condition, intraocular pressure, and visual acuity were observed postoperatively. The follow-up duration was 3mo.
RESULTS:After 3-7d of intravitreous Lucentis injecting, iris and chamber angle neovascularization was totally faded in 20 cases (20 eyes) and was not completely faded in 5 cases ( 5 eyes ) . Additional treatments were compound trabeculectomy ( 14 cases, 14 eyes ) , vitrectomy ( 4 cases, 4 eyes ) . The patients' mean intraocular pressure was 43. 42 ± 10. 99mmHg before treatment, which decreased rapidly when they came out of the hospital (14. 26±7. 64mmHg, P<0. 05) and stabilized during the follow-up 3mo (18. 76±5. 96mmHg, P<0. 05). Follow-up at 3mo, visual acuity improved or remained in 20 cases ( 20 eyes ) and decreased in 5 cases ( 5 eyes ) . The complete success, qualified success and failure were 21 eyes, 3 eyes and 1 eye, respectively.
CONCLUSION:Intravitreous injection with Lucentis can be used as an assisted treatment of NVG. According to different etiopathogenesis condition, it is an effective treatment to combine with other treatment methods for NVG.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical outcomes of anterior cervical decompression plus sublevel fusion and posterior cervical laminoplasty in treating multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy.

METHODSThe clinical data of 56 patients with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy were retrospectively analyzed from July 2009 to June 2012. There were 32 males and 24 females, aged from 42 to 79 years old with an average of (56.9 +/- 12.8) years. All patients had the typical clinical features of cervical spondylotic myelopathy,radiological evidences, and courses of disease were from 2 months to 16 years with an average of (10.6 +/- 3.2)years. Of them,34 patients were treated with anterior cervical decompression plus sublevel fusion (anterior fusion group) and 22 patients with posterior cervical laminoplasty (posterior laminoplasty group). JOA score and radiological data were used to evaluate the clinical results:

RESULTSNo complications about nerve and blood vessel was found and the patients were followed up from 24 to 36 months with an average of 28.6 months. In anterior fusion group, the cervical anterior column height was significantly increased and the anterior cervical curvature angle was significantly decreased at 2 weeks after surgery (P < 0.05). In posterior laminoplasty group, there was no significant difference in above items between preoperative and postoperative at 2 weeks,final follow-up. Postoperative at 2 weeks and final follow-up, there was significant difference in anterior cervical curvature angle between two groups (P<0.05). Postoperative JOA score had obviously improved in all patients, at 3 months after operation and final follow-up, anterior fusion group was better than that of posterior laminoplasty group (P < .05).

CONCLUSIONThe anterior sublevel fusion can effectively restore cervical anterior column height, and compared with the posterior cervical laminoplasty, it can obviously improve the spinal cord function. It is an effective method for the multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathv.

Objective To evaluate the value of phased array probe of transesophageal echocardiography miniature (micro-TEE) in the neonatal and infant cardiac surgery intraoperation.Methods Micro-TEE probe was used in children with weight ≤5 kg undergoing cardiac surgery to detect the atrial and ventricular cavity size,the left and right ventricular outflow tract diameter were detected by transthoracic echocardiography(TTE) 3-7 d after operation,and compared with the measured value immediately after the TEE.Results Before and after intubation,airway index not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Preoperative TEE and TTE inspection results were consistent with intraoperative diagnosis.Postoperative TEE measuring intracardiac structural data (each room,chamber size and left and right ventricular outflow tract diameter) and postoperative TTE measurement value representing the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Micro TEE intraoperative guardianship of low birth weight infants is safe and feasible,and can supplement and improve the preoperative diagnosis,and can accurately and timely evaluate postoperative curative effect.

Currently,surgical treatments in tennis elbow include open,arthroscopic and percutaneous procedures.Open surgery,having definite curative effects,is commonly used.There are different surgical methods based on different hypotheses about the pathogenesis of tennis elbow,such as detachment of common extensor origin,resection of annular ligament,denervation surgery and resection of microvascular nerve bundle.There is a huge difference in open surgery of tennis elbow between China and abroad.Debriding or releasing extensor carpi radialis brevis and common extensor tendon are mostly used abroad though it remains controversial whether we should release or debride with tendon,as well as whether it is better to decorticate on lateral epicondyle or not.In China,tennis elbow is treated with resection of microvascular nerve bundle except for debridement and release of tendon.As for evaluation criteria,the following methods,grip strength,grading system and visual analogue scale have been used in researches.However,cure rate and response rate are valuation criteria for resection of microvascular nerve bundle in China.The evaluation criteria are different among various surgical methods,even in the methods,especially for grading system.Each research has unique standards to define excellent,good,fair and poor outcomes.Complications of tennis elbow open surgery are rare,while subcutaneous hematoma is the common complication.

Objective To identity the risk factors for supine hypotension syndrome (SHS) after spinal anesthesia in parturients.Methods A total of 204 parturients,scheduled for elective cesarean section,were divided into either control group or SHS group depending on whether or not SHS (systolic blood pressure [SBP] in the upper extremity decreased by ＞ 30 mmHg or decreased to ＜ 80 mmHg) developed after spinal anesthesia.The baseline patient characteristics such as age,body height and weight,gestational weeks and biparietal diameter were recorded.Supine stress test (SST) was performed.Heart rate,blood pressure in upper and lower extremities,perfusion index,pleth variability index and intravesical pressure were recorded when patients were in supine position and in left lateral position before spinal anesthesia.The risk factors of which P values were less than 0.05 would enter the multi-factor logistic regression analysis to stratify the risk factors for SHS.Results Among the 204 patients,99 cases developed SHS after spinal anesthesia,and the incidence was 48.5％.Logistic regression analysis showed that maternal body weight,biparietal diameter,the difference in SBP between upper and lower extremities in supine position,the difference in SBP in upper extremities caused by changing position and positive SST were risk factors for SHS after spinal anesthesia (P＜0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion Maternal body weight,biparietal diameter,the difference in SBP between the upper and lower extremities in supine position,the difference in SBP in upper extremities caused by changing position and positive SST are risk factors for SHS after spinal anesthesia in parturients.
