To evaluate the visual performance of the patients with traumatic corneal astigmatism, after the treatment of topography guided off-flap epipolis laser in situ keratomileusi (off-flap Epi-LASlK).
●METHODS: This prospective clinical study was comprised of 21 eyes of 21 patients with irregular corneal astigmatism caused by trauma, they were treated by off-flap Epi - LASlK from July 2012 to December 2013. The data included uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA), best spectacle - corrected visual acuity ( BSCVA ), contrast sensitivity 1, 6mo before and after surgery; the healing area percentage of corneal epithelia, the healing time of corneal epithelia and pain score at 3d after surgery.
●RESULTS: Postoperative 1mo both UCVA and BSCVA were improved significantly than that before surgery (t =15. 703, 4. 351, P< 0. 05); Compared with the 1mo after surgery, UCVA at 6mo after surgery raised significantly (t= 6. 867, P <0. 05). There was no statistical significance between 6 and 1mo after surgery about BSCVA (t= 1. 497, P = 0. 140 ). After surgery, mean spherical equivalent (SE) was reduced from -2. 43±3. 02D to -0. 23±0. 49D (P<0. 05), and the mean cylinder was reduced from -1. 86± 2. 23D to - 0. 46 ± 1. 03D (P< 0. 05). Postoperative 1mo,4 kinds of spatial frequency and contrast sensitivity had no significant difference compared with the preoperative (P>0. 05 ). Postoperative 6mo except the 3c/ d spatial frequency, the remaining 3 spatial frequency contrast sensitivity compared with those before operation were significantly improved ( P < 0. 05 ). The healing area percentage of corneal epithelia was 92. 46% ±8. 24% (80% -100%) at 3d after surgery; The healing time of corneal epithelia was 3. 50 ± 1. 56d; Pain scores at 3 and 7d after surgery was 1. 54±1. 32 and 0. 04±0. 64, respectively.
●CONCLUSlON: Topography-guided off-flap Epi-LASlK is safe and effective in treating the patients with traumatic corneal irregular astigmatism. The operation can improve both the contrast sensitivity and the visual performance.

Background: Intralesional excision with curettage is the standard method of giant cell tumor (GCT) treatment, but the ideal filling material after curettage remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare the oncological and functional outcomes which underwent cementation or bone grafting after GCT curettage around the knee. Methods: We reported 136 cases with GCTs in distal femur or proximal tibia who accepted curettage from five clinical centers during the last 15 years. All patients were divided into two groups according to filling materials. Recurrence?free survival proportions were used to evaluate oncological outcomes while the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) 93 functional score was used to evaluate functional outcomes. Other parameters including surgical complication, general condition, and radiological classification had been analyzed. The valid statisitical data was analyzed using SPSS 13.0 software. Results: After GCT curettage, 86 patients (63.2%) accepted bone grafting while 50 patients (36.8%) accepted cementation. There was no statistical difference in age, gender, tumor location, radiological classification, fixation, follow?up time, and MSTS 93 functional score between cementation group and bone grafting group. The recurrence?free survival proportions showed that the recurrence rate in bone grafting group was higher than it in cementation group (P = 0.034). Surgical complication was lower in cementation group than that in bone grafting group but without statistically significant difference (P = 0.141). Conclusions: Parameters including patients'age, gender, tumor location, and radiological classification did not affect surgeons'treatments in cavity filling after GCT curettage. Cementation should be recommended because of easy usage, the similar postoperative knee function with bone grafting, and the better local tumor control than bone grafting.

Objective To explore the effect of septoplasty or in combination with outfracture of the inferior turbinate in patients with nasal septum deviation on the airflow field and the nasal airway structure.Methods Six patients with nasal septum deviation underwent spiral CT imaging scans before surgery and during the follow-up.The 3D finite element meshes of the nasal airway were developed from the above CT scans.Given three preconditions,the nasal airflow fields were described by the Navier-Stokes and continuity equations at the inspiratory flow rate of 12 L/ min. The whole airflow patterns were obtained and then compared with the airflow filed and airway structure changes before and after surgery.SPSS 12.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results Before surgery,area of the common airway and the middle and ventral medial regions in the concave side were (1.61 ± 0.18),(0.40 ± 0.10),(0.40 ± 0.14) cm2 respectively,and those of convex side were (1.30 ±0.18),(0.33 ±0.05),(0.36 ±0.10) cm2 respectively.The differences between both sides were of no statistical significance (Z value was 1.782,1.363,0.526 respectively,all P ＞ 0.05).Airflow of the above airways were (361 ± 68),(131 ± 25),(100 ±28) ml respectively in concave side and (178 ± 33),(59 ± 26),(59 ± 18) ml respectively in convex side, which differences were significant statistically (Z value were 2.207,2.201,2.201respectively,all P ＜ 0.05＝.The inferior turbinate in concave side [(0.93 ± 0.10) cm] was statistically (Z=2.214,P＜0.05＝ bigger than that in convex side[(0.58 ±0.12)cm] before surgery.The airflow fields were in disorder in both ill-airways.After surgery,area of the common airway was (2.55 ±0.44) cm2in concave side and (2.20 ± 0.72)cm2 in convex side respectively,and area of the middle and ventral medial regions in the convex side were (0.58 ± 0.13),(0.81 ± 0.26)em2 respectively,which differences were of significance statistically when comparing to areas before surgery (Z value were 2.201,2.201,2.201,2.201,P ＜0.05＝.The airflow passed through nasal airway orderly in both sides.But the thickness of inferior turbinate was (0.73 ±0.08)cm in concave side after surgery,which difference was significant statistically in comparison to that before surgery (Z = 2.264,P ＜ 0.05＝.Consequently,nasal resistance decreased from (0.41 ± 0.03) k Pa · L- 1 · s - 1 to (0.16 ± 0.01) kPa · L -1 · s - 1 after surgery,the difience was significantly(Z = -2.207,P = 0.027).Conclusion Septoplasty or in combination with outfracture of the inferior turbinate,followed by the self-adaptation consecutively,could improve the airway and breathing capacity of the nose.

AIMTo establish reference range of blood theology for different gender by sitting and lying in healthy populations.

METHODSIn 31 volunteers blood were drawed in the postures of sitting and lying to measure blood rheology. Data (between July 2002 and July 2006) of 32854 samples (23436 check-up, 6553 out-patient,2865 in-patient) were collected. Differences between different postures and different gender were compared by Independ-Sample t-test with SPSS 13.0 software and each reference range of blood rheology was established.

RESULTSIn sitting and lying postures 12 parameters of blood rheology showed great significance (P < 0.01). 8 parameters such as whole blood viscosity, blood reduce viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, were decreased by 9.33% on average while posture was changed from sitting to lying. But index of erythrocyte deformability, erythrocyte electrophoresis presented inverse correlation and were increased by 6.49% on average with the same posture change.Various parameters of blood theology in different gender showed great significance (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThere is significant difference in various parameters of blood rheology in the posture change from sitting to lying. Reference ranges of blood theology of different postures are established which may be used to decrease the rate of misdiagnosis by 8-10 percent.
