AlM: To observe the early tear film changes after trabeculectomy using Keratograph 5M.METHODS:Fourty-one patients (46 eyes) of glaucoma who underwent trabeculectomy were involved. First tear break up time ( FTBUT ) , average tear break up time (ATBUT), non-invasive tear meniscus height (NlTMH), lipid layer thickness and meibomian gland scores were measured at 1d preoperatively and at 1d, 1wk, 1mo postoperatively.RESULTS:At 1d, 1wk and 1mo postoperatively, FTBUT and ATBUT decreased greatly (P<0. 05), as well as lipid layer thickness (P<0. 017). NlTMH at 1d postoperatively increased significantly, but at 1wk and 1mo postoperatively decreased greatly (P<0. 05). There was no significantly difference in meibomian gland scores between preoperation and postoperation (P>0. 05). CONCLUSlON: Keratograph 5M could be used to evaluate tear film function rapidly and accurately. Trabeculectomy significantly alters tear film stability and tear secretion in the short term after operation.

Objective To explore the neuropsychological development in twin premature infants,and to analyze the risk factors for the retardation of development.Methods The premature infants hospitalized in the Neonatal Ward First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from Jun.2010 to Jun.2012 were divided into study groups of twin premature infants and a control group of singleton premature infants.The neuropsychological development of 88 premature infants was evaluated at corrected gestational age of 1 year old by Bayley scales of infant development.According to normal lab findings of the Bayley scales of infant development,the premature infants were then divided into abnormal neuropsychological development group [mental development index(MDI) ≤79 scores] and normal neuropsychological development group (MDI > 79 scores),and the data of 2 groups were statistically analyzed.Results The frequency distribution of MDI score in study group showed a skewed distribution,of which 59% (27/46 cases) had abnormal neuropsychological development (MDI ≤ 79 scores); However,the frequency distribution of MDI score in control group showed an approximate normal distribution,of which only 12% (5/42 cases) for abnormal neuropsychological development.Head circumference,body length,body weight,MDI,psycho-motor development index of twin premature infants of one-year old were lower than those of the singleton premature infants of the same age,and the differences were statistically significant (all P <0.05).The single factor analysis demonstrated that the risk factors for abnormal neuropsychological development (MDI ≤ 79 scores) of twin premature infants were gestational age,birth weight,mother' s gcstational age,the cultural degree of parents,mode of feeding,neonatal hyperbilirubinemia,neonatal hypoglycemia and neonatal sepsis.Multiple regression analysis showed that neonatal hyperbilirubinemia was the independent risk factor for abnormal neuropsychological development of twin premature infants.Conclusions At same gestational age,neuropsychological development of twin premature infants lagged behind singleton premature infants.Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia may be the risk factors for neuropsychological development of twin premature infants,so the earlier management of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia may be beneficial for the neuropsychological development of twin premature infants.

Objective To explore the technique of breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Methods 30 cases of patients with breast cancer who were not suitable for breast conservative surgery were sum-marized. Among them, immediate breast reconstruction with prosthetic implants after mastectomy was used in 16 patients, transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap (TRAM flap) in 10 patients, and latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap in 4 patients. There were 27 patients who underwent immediate breast reconstruction, while 3 patients underwent delayed breast construction. Results The appearance was good in 16 cases of breast reconstruction with prosthetic implants and no complications were found. Two out of the ten patients who had the transevarse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap (TRAM flap) breast reconstruction had partly necrosis of skin flap, and one lateral ventral syndrome. The appear-ance of the 7 cases after the TRAM flap breast reconstruction evaluated well, 2 cases moderate, and one case less satisfactory. The appearance of 4 patients who had breast reconstruction with latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap evaluated well. Conclusion Breast reconstruction is an important part of combined therapy for the breast cancer, especially for the patients who have strong desire to conserve breast, while incompetence for breast conserving surgery. In such a case breast reconstruction is a good choice. Imme-diate breast reconstruction is better than delayed breast construction. The appropriate method of breast reconstruction depends on each individual patient. Patients with locally advanced breast carcinoma can se-lectively choose immediate breast reconstruction.
