One-year follow-up results of combined use of CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> laser and cold instrumentation for Reinke’s edema surgery in professional voice users

The purpose of this study was to present our experience with combined use of CO₂ laser and cold instrumentation for Reinke’s edema surgery and to evaluate 1-year follow-up results of the technique in a series of professional voice users. Fifteen patients with Reinke’s edema who underwent microlaryngoscopic surgery were included. Videolaryngostroboscopy, perceptual and acoustic voice analyses were performed before and after surgery. During the 1-year follow-up, no recurrence of Reinke’s edema was encountered. Significant postoperative improvement was obtained in the quality of voice, in terms of GRBAS scores, Fo, jitter, shimmer and NHR. No evidence of laryngeal cancer was found on the histological examinations. Combined use of CO₂ laser and cold instrumentation provides a reliable and safe method for Reinke’s edema surgery, and cessation of smoking, voice rest and control of the laryngopharyngeal reflux contribute to the success of surgery. We consider that the removal of redundant mucosa of the vocal fold reduces the risk of the recurrence of Reinke’s edema and provides better quality of voice. However, it does not imply that our method is superior to others’, but this procedure constitutes an effective treatment of choice for Reinke’s edema patients, including professional voice users.

Transient Macular Edema after Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis

Purpose: To investigate the macular changes induced by laser in situ keratomileusisc(LASIK) procedure.Methods: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was used to examine 27 eyes of 15LASIK patients before surgery, and 1 day, 1 week, 1 month after surgery.Results: The mean thick iness of neuroepithelial layer of macula was (195 ±24)microns, (178± 16) microns 1 day and 1 month after surgery, respectively, while thebaseline was (174 ± 12) microns. The increase in macular neuroepithelial thickness wascorrelated with the degree of myopia, but not with the duration of suction or thepostoperative BCVA.Conclusion: Mild macular edema is common in the first month following LASIK,especially in high myopia. However, no association with loss of BCVA has beenestablished. Eye Science 2003; 19: 20 - 24.     

Surface coat of sheep pulmonary intravascular macrophages: Reconstitution,and implication of a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchor

Background: Pulmonary intravascular macrophages (PIMs) of sheep have a globular surface coat that facilitates endocytosis of tracer particles and Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide, and is disrupted by the heparin and Brefeldin A treatments. The present study investigated the in vivo dynamics of the coat globules following heparin-mediated removal, and the mechanism of globule organization on the plasma membrane of PIMs in vitro. Methods: Sheep were administered heparin at a dose of 50 IU/kg body weight IV, and euthanised at 30 min, 3, 6, 12, 48, and 120 hr (n = 2 for each treatment) after the treatment. Control sheep (n = 2) were injected with normal saline solution. The tissues were processed for an ultrastructural examination and acid phosphatase (ACPase) cytochemistry. Heparintreated lungs were subjected to morphometric analysis of the coat globules. Lung tissues from normal sheep (n = 2) were incubated with phosphatidylinositol-specific-phospholipase C (PIPLC; 2 IU/ml PBS) in vitro for 30 and 75 min. Results: Heparin study: The ultrastructural and morphometric data showed that the coat globules were removed at 30 min and reconstituted within 48 hr of the treatment. The PIMs showed priminent Golgi complexes associated with secretory vesicles, microtubules, and centriole between 3–12 hr of heparin treatment. Acid phosphatase cytochemistry also demonstrated secretory activity in the Golgi complexes of PIMs during the coat reconstitution. PIPLC study: The coat globules of PIMs were removed in a time-dependent mode by the PIPLC treatment without damage to other cell organelles. Conclusions: This study demonstrates a time-dependent reconstitution of the coat of PIMs in conjunction with secretory activity following heparinmediated removal, probably through sequenstration of the globules from blood. This ability is of functional significance as the coat mediates particle endocytosis by the PIMs. The results also suggest the presence of a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor in tethering of globules on the plasma membrane of PIMs to offer a structural basis for their integrity in pulmonary vascular flow. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
