AIM: To investigate the preliminary clinical observation of excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy ( PTK ) assisted by anterior segment optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) in the treatment of non II type granular corneal dystrophy.
METHODS: A retrospective case series were studied. Totally 8 patients ( 12 eyes ) who were diagnosed as granular corneal dystrophy underwent PTK from April 2011 to January 2013 in our hospital. All patients were excluded from the II type granular corneal dystrophy ( Avellino corneal dystrophy ) by the Avellino corneal dystrophy rapid diagnostic kit and underwent preoperative anterior segment OCT examination, so as to determine the lesion morphology and depth, and used to guide the setting of PTK parameters. They were followed up for the complications after operation, postoperative recurrence, the recovery of visual acuity.
RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 6-12mo, average 9mo after operation. All patients' best corrected visual acuity were significantly improved, superficial corneal opacity lesions were effectively removed, and the corneal opacity recurrence or serious Haze were not found during the follow-up period after operation.
CONCLUSION: In patients with non type II granular corneal dystrophy, PTK assisted by anterior segment OCT can be accurate, effective removal of corneal lesions, obtain good effect after operation.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of endoscopic pancreatic duct stent insertion.Methods The clinical data of 20 cases of endoscopic pancreatic stent insertion,including 12 cases of chronic pancreatitis,3 cases of recurrent pancreatitis,2 cases of papilla adenoma after resection,3 cases of pancreatic carcinoma,was retrospectively reviewed from June 2004 to September 2006.All the patients underwent endoscopic pancreatic sphincterotomy and pancreatic stent insertion after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP).Results All the 20 patients received 23 procedures of pancreatic stent insertion.Stent-preserving time was 25-105 days(mean,64.5 days).2 cases experienced stent migration and no postoperative pancreatitis occurred.20 patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months,including 17 patients for 12 months.During a follow-up period of 3 months in the 12 cases of chronic pancreatitis,1 case received repair because of duodenal perforation induced by ERCP,and the symptoms of abdominal pain or discomfort disappeared or were distinctively relieved in 9 and 2 cases,respectively,with weight gain 2-5 kg(mean,3.2 kg).A follow-up period of more than 3 months showed that the remission rate of abdominal pain was 92%(11/12).The jaundice was alleviated(with the average of decrease of 61.8 percent of total bilirubin in serum) and weight gained in the 3 cases of pancreatic carcinoma after the biliary and pancreatic duct plastic stents were inserted at the same time.Patients with recurrent pancreatitis had no relapse in the follow-up period.Conclusions The endoscopic pancreatic duct stent insertion is a safe and minimal invasive procedure,and can prevent postoperative pancreatitis,but the main complication of stent migration should be considered.

Objective To evaluate the value of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients with dysphagia. Method Sixty-five ALS patients underwent PEG from April 2005 to July 2010 were analysed retrospectively. Results All the 65 patients underwent PEG,and 2 patients failed because of dyspnea. Totally 63 patients were intubated successfully,the successful rate was 96.9%(63/65). The operation time was 8-17 min. Two patients had local infection.After 3 months, the body mass index was increased from (18.3 ± 1.0) kg/m2 to (19.7 ± 1.2) kg/m2(t = 15.8,P ＜ 0.01), without peritonitis, migration of the gastrostomy tube and other complications. Conclusions PEG is a safe method with a low complication for ALS patients to get enteral nutrition. Dyspnea is the main reason of failure.

AIM: To observe the clinical effect of amniotic membrane transplantation and penetrating keratoplasty in the treatment of atheromatous corneal ulcer.
METHODS: Thirteen patients ( 13 eyes ) diagnosed atheromatous corneal ulcer from February 2009 to May 2014 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Surgical treatment including amniotic membrane transplantation and penetrating keratoplasty were used to deal the patients with no effects of drugs. All patients were followed up for 4mo to 2a ( mean 8mo ) after surgery. Visual acuity, healing and recipient of ulcer were examined.
RESULTS:There patients were treated conservatively with corneal ulcer slowly healing, healing time was 14~35 ( 21±12. 1 ) d. Seven cases were treated with amniotic membrane transplantation, 2 cases were treated with penetrating keratoplasty, 1 case of corneal ulcer perforation and lost light perception received enucleation of eyeball. Corneal ulcer were cured in patients performed amniotic membrane transplantation and penetrating keratoplasty. All patients had no recurrence during the follow-up period.
CONCLUSION:Atheromatous corneal ulcer is difficult to be cured by conservative treatment. Most patients need operation treatment. Amniotic membrane transplantation and penetrating keratoplasty can be performed to deal with atheromatous corneal ulcer and abtain satisfactory effect. But amniotic membrane transplantation is relatively simple and easy, and it is suitable for promotion in primary hospitals.
