The in-stent restenosis is one of the main complications in coronary artherosclerotic heart disease patients after PTCA and PCI.How to prevent it remains one of the most important projects in intervention therapy.In this paper,the preventive role of intravenous ultrasound and drug eluting stent were reviewed.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relative factors influencing olfactory dysfunction in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). METHOD: Visual analogue scale (VAS) was applied to measure the severity of olfactory dysfunction of 270 patients with CRS. Patients were divided into two groups, one was that the quality of life (QOL) of patients was affected by olfactory dysfunction (VAS > 5), the other was that without QOL affected by olfactory dysfunction (VAS ≤ 5). The association between age, gender, nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis, smoking history, early nasal surgery history and other clinical factors, and serum total IgE level, peripheral blood eosinophil count, peripheral blood mononuclear cell count and olfactory dysfunction was analyzed. RESULT: The number of patients with nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis, previous nasal surgeries, the level of serum total IgE, and the severity of edema were significantly increased in patients with impaired QOL associated with olfactory dysfunction (P < 0.05). Sex distribution, age, smoking history, deviation of nasal septum, eosinophil and mononuclear cell count did no statistically differ between the groups with and without impaired QOL associated with olfactory dysfunctions (P > 0.05). Serum total IgE increased (OR = 1.003, P < 0.01) and severe edema (OR = 2.483, P < 0.01) were the risk factors for the impairment of olfactory function, more notably for edema; whereas previous nasal surgeries was a protective factor (OR = 0.408, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Sever edema and increased serum total IgE are risk factors, whereas previous nasal surgeries history is a protective factor for the olfactory dysfunction.

Two cases of ectopic varices(EV) admitted in our hospital were reported.According to literature search from Wanfang Data and China National Knowledge Infrastructure 127 cases of ectopic varices were reported in mainland China.Among 129 cases there were 93 males and 36 females,with a mean age of (54.4 ± 7.2) years.The most common cause of EV was portal hypertension with cirrhosis (n =104,80.6％).The common manifestations of EV were melena (35.7％) and hematemesis (18.6％).The diagnosis was confirmed by endoscopy in 100 cases(77.5％),by surgery in 16 cases(12.4％),and by angiography in 13 cases(10.1％).The sites of EV lesions included duodenum (n =52,40.3％),rectum (n =34,26.4％),and jejunum or ileum (n =13,10.1％).Among 129 EV patients,4(3.1％)died and 125(96.9％)survived.Analysis indicates that most ectopic varices are secondary to portal hypertension of cirrhosis,and ectopic varices account for a certain percentage of all gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

The biological incompatibility of traditional peritoneal dialysis fluids(PDF) is the main reason for the poor outcomes of long-term peritoneal dialysis and the high rate of technical failure.Recently,two-compartment PDF has been applied in the treatment of peritoneal dialysis patients,and reportedly has lots of clinical advantages due to its better biocompatibility.This paper presents an overview of recent advances in the studies of two-compartment PDF.

AIM: To assess the prevalence of refractive errors in middle school students in Lanzhou city and explore the risk factors for myopia.METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted. A questionnaire assessed the students' socioeconomic background and visual tasks followed by visual acuity assessment and a full eye examination including slit lamp examination, fundus evaluation, retinoscopy, and subjective refraction.RESULTS: Among 2 256 enumerated students aged 15-19 years, 2 037 (90.3%) students had significant refractive errors. Myopia was the leading refractive error (1 951/2 256,86.5%), astigmatism was the second most common refractive error (921/2 256, 40.8%), but amblyopia (10/2 256, 0.4%),strabismus (5/2 256, 0.2%), hyperopia (4/2 256, 0.2%) and other treatable eye disorders were uncommon. Almost 95.3% of students with significant refractive errors wore spectacles before the survey. Age, sex, visual tasks, and a parental history of myopia were risk factors for myopia.CONCLUSION: The prevalence of refractive errors and the risk factors for myopia in schoolchildren in Lanzhou city are similar to those reported in other regions of China.Interventions of myopia progression should be performed to protect the visual acuity of school-aged students.

AIM: To observe the efficacy of Medpor porous polyethylene implants in treatment of enophthalmos combined with orbital fracture.
METHODS: Seventeen cases ( 17 eyes ) with enophthalmos caused by orbital fracture underwent surgical treatment with Medpor porous polyethylene implants. All accepted a 6-mo follow-up and the data of enophthalmos, eyeball movement and diplopia were collected.
RESULTS: The average difference of exophthalmos between damaged eyes and undamaged eyes was (3. 4±1. 5 ) mm preoperatively, two cases had residual 1mm enophthalmos 6mo after surgery, while other 15 cases were completely corrected. Seventeen cases suffered from eyeball movement restriction and diplopia preoperatively, 16 cases had normal eyeball movement without diplopia 6mo after surgery, 1 case with limitation of abduction and horizontal diplopia. There was no extrusion, rejection, infection or other complications occurred during follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Medpor porous polyethylene implants can effectively improve the orbit volume to repair enophthalmos caused by orbital fracture.
