The preoperative PD values were compared with controls. Also, the intraoperative manipulations and early/late complications were recorded.RESULTS: A total of 77 patients(77 eyes) of 94 benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH) patients have been defined as IFIS(81.91%) and 40 patients(40 eyes) were taking tamsulosin and 37 patients(37 eyes) were taking alfuzosin. During the cataract surgery, the rate of posterior capsular rupture(P=0.754), vitreous loss(P=0.585), iris tears(P=0.004), and iris catching(P=0.000) were higher in IFIS group, but the difference was significant only in the iris catching. At the postoperative first-month visit, persistent IOP rise and iris stromal tears were more frequent in IFIS group, but the difference was not significant(P=0.311, P=0.146;respectively). In contrast, Descemet membrane detachment was insignificantly more frequent in controls(P=0.311). In IFIS and control patients, PDs were 9.54±1.78 and 9.72±1.57 mm(P=0.255) under scotopic illumination, 8.54±1.43 and 8.74±1.25 mm(P=0.289) under mesopic illumination, 6.99±1.35 and 7.27±1.39 mm(P=0.662) under photopic illumination, respectively. However PDs were lower in IFIS under all illumination degrees, no significant difference was detected between groups.CONCLUSION: IFIS is a significant clinical syndrome with an increased intraoperative/postoperative complication ratio. The prediction of this syndrome is important because of prevention required precautions against possible complications. There is no association between IFIS and preoperative PD.展开更多

The proposed floppy drive uses turbo coding-decoding in the transceiver PHYsical layer (PHY) to improve system performance. The data transmission rate is about 11 Mbps. The covered distance is 30 meters in obstructed environment and 100 m in free space.展开更多

The precision of the force measuring system is 1 mN in loading and 3×10-6 N in friction. The resolution of the film thickness between head and floppy disk is 0.5 nm in the vertical and 1.5 nm in the horizontal direction. in order to investigate the tribological characteristics of floppy disks, six types of floppy disks have been tested and the floating properties of these disks are also studied with film measuring system. The experimental results of the surface morphology and friction coefficient of these floppy disks using the atomic force microscope/friction force mcroscope (AFM/FFM) are in accordance with the conclusion made by our own measuring system. The experimental results show that the air film thickness between head and disk is of the same order as the surface roughness of floppy disks.展开更多
