Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2015;33(6):552-555
The corneal asphericity refers to most normal corneal surface is an aspherical flat oval,which is helpful to improve the visual quality.In most cases,corneal aspherical coefficient Q-value is negative,and different normal Q-value is reported in literatures,corneal Q-value is influenced by many factors,quadrants have great effects on it,the influence of age is weak,there are correlation between myopic degree,ocular axial length,radius of curvature,intraocular pressure and Q-value.The corneal refractive surgery is one of the most important methods to correct refractive errors,but it has negative effects on the corneal asphericity,and then results in glare,visual quality degradation and other issues.Different corneal refractive surgeries would have different effects on the corneal asphericity.Wavefront aberration-guided femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) surgery and Q-value guide LASIK are superior to standardized LASIK,the change of Q-value after femtosecond lenticule extraction (FLEx) surgery is less than that after wavefront aberration guided LASIK.The influence of femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) on Q-value are rarely reported.In addition,the Q-value changes from negative to positive after corneal refractive surgery of myopia,the variation tendency is opposite after hyperopia surgery.Q-value variation is highly correlated to spherical equivalent,the impact of laser and healing still needs further exploration.In order to further exploring of the corneal asphericity and getting a better effect of surgery,here is a review about normal corneal asphericity and the effects of the corneal refractive surgery on it.

8.Effects of different developmental patterns on thyroid morphological changes among children in pre-puberty and puberty
Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(10):1521-1525
Objective:
To investigate the effects of different developmental patterns on the increases of thyroid volume in children from different genders and periods, and to explore whether there is a synergistic effect on the initiation of puberty in girls, so as to provide a theoretical basis for reducing the risk of thyroid abnormalities in adulthood.
Methods:
A multi-stage cluster sampling was used to select a primary school in Minhang District of Shanghai, Haimen City of Jiangsu Province and Yuhuan city of Zhejiang Province. A total of 784 children aged 8-10 years old were included in "8-10 years school-aged children cohort". At the same time, a total of 491 girls aged 11-13 years were included in the "11-13 years adolescent girls cohort". The content of survey on follow-up was consistent with the one on baseline. B-ultrasonography was used to measure thyroid volume. The physical development indexes such as height (H), weight (W) and waist circumference (WC) were measured. The morning urine samples were collected and the urinary iodine content was detected. The changes of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and thyroid volume (V) were calculated (d BMI, d WC, and d V, respectively). According to the changes of BMI and WC, the subjects were classified into four types of developmental changes, namely "B-LW-L (low d BMI, low d WC)" "B-LW-H (low d BMI, high d WC)" "B-HW-L (high d BMI, low d WC)" and "B-HW-H (high d BMI , high d WC)". Results In partial correlation analysis, thyroid volume was significantly correlated with BMI and WC at baseline or follow-up(P<0.05). The changes of thyroid volume in 8-10 years old boys were related to the changes of BMI and WC (P<0.05), the changes of thyroid volume in 8-10 year old girls were only associated with the changes of WC (P=0.03), and no association was found in 11-13 year old girls(P>0.05). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, after adjusting for baseline age, region, and differences of urinary iodine, the risk of thyroid volume increasing in B-HW-H was 2.70 times (95%CI=1.29-5.66) higher than that of B-LW-L in boys aged 8-10 years; among girls aged 11-13 years, the risk of thyroid volume increasing in B-LW-H, B-HW-L and B-HW-H were 2.46 times (95%CI=1.31-4.61), 2.16 times (95%CI=1.15-4.03) and 1.79 times (95%CI=1.07-2.99), respectively; there was no interaction between menarche age and developmental pattern on thyroid volume change trend (P=0.49).
Conclusion
The thyroid volume in children and adolescents increases with the development of physical development. Different developmental patterns and estrogens have certain effects on thyroid morphological changes. To avoid obesity in childhood (especially with central obesity), timely identify and effectively intervene thyroid morphological abnormalities in childhood,and to reduce the risk of thyroid diseases in adulthood.

Objective:To investigate the method, feasibility and clinical effect of scrotal flap in the immediate repair of penoscrotal Paget disease after excision.Methods:From January 2008 to September 2018, a total of 21 patients (age 42-74) diagnosed with penile scrotal Paget disease were admitted and treated in our department. All patients underwent local expanded resection, and intraoperative frozen section examination confirmed a negative margin. All patients used the scrotal flap or scrotal flap combined with other surgical methods to repair the defect.Results:Scrotal flaps were used in ten cases, scrotal flaps combined with other flaps in seven cases, and scrotal flaps combined with skin grafting in four cases. All the scrotal flaps had good blood supply, two cases had small partial skin graft necrosis, and one case had delayed healing of the flap donor area, and all the others had good wound healing. All patients were followed up for six months to 60 months, with an average follow-up time of 30.6 months. Most of the patients (95.2%, 20/21) were satisfied with the appearance of the penis and scrotum, and all the transferred flaps showed no edema. Local recurrence occurred in four patients within two years. Local recurrence and inguinal lymph node metastasis occurred in one patient within three years with a total local recurrence rate of 23.8% (5/21). Due to the small local recurrence lesion, the recurrence lesion was successfully repaired with the adjacent scrotal flap after expanding local excision, and the patients with inguinal lymph node metastasis received ipsilateral inguinal lymph node dissection.Conclusions:The scrotal flap has the characteristics of a large cutting area, flexible design, convenient transfer of flap, enough blood supply, simple, safe, and effective. Using this method can obtain a satisfactory shape of the penis and scrotum after the operation. Those defects that are difficult to use scrotal flap for a complete repair can be repaired with other flaps or skin grafts. A good therapeutic effect can be obtained as well. For the majority of recurrent lesions, scrotal skin flap can be reapplied.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of early treatment of congenital giant melanocytic nevus (CGMN).Methods:From October 2013 to December 2021, the clinical data of children with giant nevus treated with skin soft tissue expansion in the Plastic Surgery Department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. A renal expander was implanted in the first stage, including single and repeated expansion. The giant nevus was removed and repaired in the second stage with an expanded skin flap. The occurrence of complications, such as wound infection, expander exposure, expander rupture, and flap congestion, were recorded. Children’s mental health problems and their parents’ satisfaction were also analyzed. The χ2 between children of different ages and the infection rate between children with an internal and external pot. Results:A total of 58 children, 24 males and 34 females, aged from 3 months to 3 years, with an average age of 1.45 years, were enrolled. A total of 190 expanders were implanted. The patients were followed for 5 to 106 months, averaging 42.43 months. In the first stage, 29 cases of wound infection, 41 cases of expander exposure, two cases of flap congestion, and 6 cases of expander rupture occurred. The flap transfers were not affected by these complications after appropriate treatment. The comparison of complication rates among 3 months~<1 year、1~<2 years、2~<3 years、3 years was 37.34%(31/83)、56.75% ((21/37) ), 33.33% (13/39) and 41.94%(13/31), respectively, No statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.21, P=0.157). The incidence of wound infection was 16.67% (6/36) and 14.94% (23/154), respectively, for the internal and external dilators. There was no significant difference in the location of the dilator pot and the incidence of wound infection ( χ2=0.07, P=0.795). The appearance of all children has been significantly improved. Thirty-nine children’s families are particularly satisfied, and 20 are generally satisfied with the treatment effect, and no mental health problems were found. Conclusions:Skin and soft tissue expansion is a reliable method for early treatment of congenital giant nevus.
