AIM: To evaluate the clinical effects of dual-incision phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy in cataract and glaucoma patients.
METHODS: To observe the visual acuity, intraocular pressure and complications for 3-12mo after surgery as a retrospective study of 65 patients ( 70 eyes ) with cataract and glaucoma.
RESULTS: The visual acuity of 2 eyes was lower than 0.1, 6 eyes were ranged from 0. 1 to 0. 3, 60 eyes were from 0. 4 to 0. 8, 2 eyes were over 1. 0. The postoperative intraocular pressure of 26 eyes were effective controlled. The postoperative shallow anterior chamber occurred in 1 eye.
CONCLUSION: It is an ideal treatment to take dual-incision phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy in cataract and glaucoma patients and it shows better effects than normal operation method.

AIM:To explore and compare effect of coaxial micro-incision phacoemulsification and standard coaxial phacoemulsification in the treatment of cataract.
METHODS:A total of 88 patients(88 eyes) with senile cataract who underwent selective cataract ultrasonic emulsification resorption combined with intraocular lens implantation in the hospital from Aug. 2013 and Aug. 2015 were selected, they were divided randomly into the control group ( 44 cases, 38 cases completed, 6 cases dropped out ) and the observation group ( 44 cases, 40 cases completed, 4 cases dropped out ) . The control group received standard coaxial 3. 0mm small incision phacoemulsification, the observation group received coaxial 1. 8mm micro-incision phacoemulsification. All patients were combined with intraocular lens implantation. Intraoperative effective ultrasonic time, cumulative release energy, best corrected visual acuity before and after surgery in the two groups were recorded, corneal endothelium cell population, incision corneal thickness, percentage of cornea hexagon cell, corneal astigmatism changes before the operation, 1d, 7d, 30d after the operation were compared.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in intraoperative effective ultrasonic time, cumulative release energy in the two groups(P>0. 05). There was no significant difference in postoperative best corrected visual acuity between the two groups(P>0. 05). Corneal endothelium cell population, percentage of cornea hexagon cell 1d, 7d, 30d after the operation in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before the treatment ( P < 0. 05 ), but there was no significant difference in the two groups ( P > 0. 05 ). Incision corneal thickness 30d after the operation in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group(P<0. 05). Degree of corneal astigmatism in the observation group 1d, 7d, and 30d after the operation were significantly lower than the control group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Coaxial micro - incision phacoemulsification and standard coaxial phacoemulsification can improve visual acuity of cataract patients, but the former can reduce degree of corneal astigmatism.

OBJECTIVETo compare the therapeutic effects between close reduction and plaster slab fixation combined with plaster external traction and operation for the treatment of pediatric closed Gartland type III supracondylar humerus fractures without neurovascular injury complications.

METHODSFrom June 2009 to June 2012, 151 children with closed Gartland III supracondylar humerus fractures were retrospectively studied and divided into two groups, including 87 boys and 64 girls, ranging in age from 1 to 12 years old with an average of 5.3 years old. Among them, 76 children (conservative group) were treated with close reduction and plaster slab fixation combined with plaster external traction; 75 children (operation group) underwent surgical operation. The time of elbow joint function exercise, the healing time of fracture, the function recovery of elbow joint and carrying angle was recorded and analyzed. The therapeutic effects were evaluated by the Flynn criteria system.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 6 to 36 months (18.3 months on average). The average time of fracture healing and elbow joint functional exercise of the conservative group was shorter than those of operation group (P < 0.001). Motion range of the elbows and carrying angle of two groups were no statistical difference (P > 0.05). According to Flynn criteria system, in conservative group, the result was excellent in 31 cases, good in 35, fair in 7, and poor in 3; in operation group, 27 in excellent, 30 in good, 17 in fair and 1 in poor; there was no significant difference between two groups in therapeutic effects (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONClose reduction and plaster slab fixation combined with plaster external traction in treatment of pediatric closed Gartland type III supracondylar humerus fractures without neurovascular injury complications,which has similar effect to surgical treatment, and the time of fracture healing and elbow joint function exercise are significantly shorter.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and spectrum of β-thalassemia mutations in C, uangdong province, and provide a reference for prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling in this population. Methods Three thousand two hundred and forty-seven blood samples were randomly selected from Guangzhou and 2984 blood samples from Shenzhen from January in 2005 to January in 2009. PCR and reverse dot blot hybridization (RDB) were adopted for detection of β-thalassemia mutations in Guangzhou and Shenzhen city. Results Seven hundred and fifty-one individuals in Guangzhou were found to have β-hemoglobin gene mutations, the detection rate was 23.13%(751/3247); 10 different mutations were identified, namely CD41-42(-TCTT), IVS-Ⅱ-654(C→T), -28(A→G), CDI7(A→T), CD71-72(+A), 13E, IVS-I-1(G→T), CD43(G→T), -29(A→G), CDI4-15(+G), which accounted for 42.53% (336/790) ,25.19% (199/790), 12.66% (100/790), 10.89% (86/790) ,3.29% (26/790), 2.15%(17/790), 1.27%( 10/790), 1.14%(9/790) ,0.51%(4/790) ,0.38%(3/790), respectively; the most common mutation was CD41-42(-TCTT), which accounted for 42.53%(336/790). In Shenzhen, 179 individuals were found to have β-thalassemia mutations, the detection rate was 6.00% (179/2984); 8 different mutations were identified excluding CD43 (G→T) and CD14-15 (+G); the most common mutation, however, was IVS-lI--654(C→T), which accounted for 40.44% (74/183). Conclusions The β-thalassemia mutations in Guangdong province are not only frequent, but also obviously heterogeneous, and the mutations differ from region to region. CD41-42 (-TCTT),ⅣS-Ⅱ-654(C→T), -28(A→G), CD17(A→T) were the 4 predominant mutations.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of Gap-ligase chain reaction(LCR)-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)for Chlamydia trachomatis(CT) pneumonia in infants(28 days-3 months old baby was 16.9%(27/160 cases),and the incidence in 3-6 months old baby was 8.1%(12/149 cases).The clinical symptoms included that 25 cases(51.0%) had fever,48 cases(98.0%) with paroxysmal cough,45 cases(91.8%) with rhinocleisis,45 cases(91.8%) with spitting foam,49 cases(100%) with tachypnea,28 cases(57.1%) with lips cyanosis,26 cases(53.1%) with medium and moist rales,24 cases(49.0%) with dry rales,18 cases(36.7%) with phlegm whimper,29 cases(59.2%) with rough breath sounds in both lungs and there were 13 cases(26.5%) with conjunctivitis.Chest film and paper capacitor showed that bilateral extensive interstitial and(or) alveolar infiltration,over-inflation 23 cases(46.9%) had no lobal consolidation or pleural effusion.The WBC counts were normal or slightly high.All children were treated with cephalothin or penicillin before confirmation with CT infection.Eleven cases were treated with azithromycin after diagnosis with CT pneumonia and were cured 9 days after treatment and the others were not treated with azithromycin so their course prolonged from 15 to 44 days,among them there were 11 out-patients who were treated many times because of repeated cough.Conclusions CT is important pathogenic organism to cause pneumonia in neonatal and small infants.It is important to pay attention to the possibility of pneumonia caused by CT and make the diagnosis in early period as soon as possible and treat them with sensitive drug to shorten the course.
