  • Tracheal granuloma, the most commonly reported sequela of pediatric tracheotomy. A variety of techniques are available for the management of tracheal granuloma. Potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser has been previously established as an acceptable technique for removal of laryngeal surgery, which emits a green light with a wave length of 532 nm, which is well-absorbed by hemoglobin and can coagulate and vaporize tissue. The ability to deliver laser energy through a flexible glass fiber makes the technique convenient for use with a rigid bronchoscope, overcoming problems with intraluminal access encountered with earlier attempts at CO2 laser therapy for this problem. Another advantage of KTP laser is the avoidance of the risks and morbidity associated with an open procedure. We report our surgical technique KTP laser in the management of tracheal granuloma removal into the tracheostomy site. KTP laser is good tool for management of tracheal granuloma with low incidence of complications.

  • We have experimentally simulated the violation of the Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) using a heralded-single-photon source via spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in a periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate (PPKTP) crystal. We measured the polarization fringe as a function of the angle of the linear polarization of the photons, and analyzed the LGI according to n measurement. Simulation results for LGI based on the polarization of the heralded single photon were in good agreement with theoretical calculations.

  • The pulsed photoangiolytic 532-nm potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser has emerged in recent years as an efficacious treatment modality for vocal fold lesions. It also has broadened the indications for other laryngeal laser surgery. Features of KTP laser that it is a fiber-based delivery system and its energy is selectively absorbed by oxyhemoglobin make it suitable for office-based laryngeal procedures. An office-based KTP laser surgery provides an alternative management option for benign laryngeal diseases and can be performed comfortably under flexible endoscopic guidance which is placed through the nose of a fully awake patient. Office-based laryngeal surgery with a KTP laser can alleviate the need for general anesthesia. However, there are some limitations to apply due to reduced visual precision and the fact that the vocal folds are moving during procedures. Clinicians should carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of office-based procedures before a treatment option is selected. Patient selection and standardized laser energy parameters may help in decreasing complications and improving the treatment results.

  • We have developed new algorithms for solution of the three-dimensional, time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations that utilize massively parallel supercomputing implemented on the Connection Machine 5. Here, we apply these techniques to analyze he fluid flows that occur during the growth of the tow nonlinear optical crystals-potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP), which is producted in a novel rapid growth system under development by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Laser Division, and Potassium titanyl phosphate(KTP), which is grown from a high-temperature aqueous solution.

  • Hemangiomas that arise in cervical esophagus are extremely rare, representing 3.3% of all benign esophageal tumors. Although endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and potassium titanyl phosphate/yttrium aluminum garnet (KTP/YAG) laser therapy have been used with success for small tumors, the safety and efficacy in the case of large tumors remains uncertain. We report the successful resection of cervical esophageal hemangioma through a cervical esophagotomy in a patient with thyroid cancer who needed a cervical collar incision.

  • The water level and temperature properties for the cooling system of potassium titanyl phosphate laser systems were observed. The middle point of the GMR-SV magnetoresistance curve is set in the neighborhood of high magnetic sensitivity (2.8 %/Oe). The experimental results for resistance dependence on water height and temperature showed linear regions with rates of 0.4 ${\Omega}/mm$ and 0.1 ${\Omega}/^{\circ}C$, respectively. The proposed results were found to be for adjusting the water level and temperature in the laser cooling system.

  • Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a benign tumor that occurs in the respiratory tract, especially in the larynx. The etiology of RRP is human papillomavirus (HPV). According to the age of occurrence, RRP is divided into childhood-onset and adult-onset types. Generally, childhood-onset RRP shows a high recurrence rate and diffuse involvement in the respiratory tract. Adult-onset RRP is more localized and appears more frequently as a solitary lesion. It may be the result of sexual transmission or the proliferation of latent HPV infections. At present, the treatment of choice for RRP is CO2 laser ablation. In addition, pulse dye laser or KTP (KTiOPO: potassium-titanyl-phosphate) lasers are also used. Non-surgical adjuvant therapies can be applied in cases requiring repetitive surgery or with diffuse extensions. This review will introduce the clinical features of RRP and various treatment options including lasers.

  • We fabricated a sensor for measuring the water level and water temperature using GMR-SV (giant magnetoresistance-spin valve) device, simultaneously. It could be applied to the medical cooling system of the potassium titanylphosphate KTP) laser system for the therapy of a benign prostatic hyperplasia. The middle point of GMR-SV device was set to the near position of a high magnetic sensitivity with 2.8%/Oe. The sensitivity for the water level and water temperature of the fabricated sensor were $400\;m{\Omega}/mm$ and $100\;m{\Omega}/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

  • Tracheal stenosis is a difficult disease entity to manage. Laser ablation is one effective treatment for treacheal stenosis and can be utilized if tracheal reconstructive surgery is impossible. Potassium titanyl phosphate laser, transmitted via flexible quartz fiber, can be precisely manipulated through flexible bronchoscope under local anesthesia. We treated 7 patients with trach al and broncheal lesion under local anesthesia with KTP laser from January 1995 to July 1996. The patients included three males and four females. The age of patients ranged from 22 to 66 years with a mean of 43.7 years The etiology of tracheal stenosis in patients was stenosis after tracheostomy(3 cases), prolong inturbation in cases of sepsis(1 cases), and the recurrence of lung cancer within endobronchial lesion(2 cases). In the cases of tracheal stenosis treated with laser ablation, there were 2 cases of recurrence of stenosis at the anastomosis site after the operation, 3 cases of stenosis at tracheostomy site, and 2 cases of local recurrence of lung cancer. The site of the tracheal stenosis was the balloon site of the tracheostomy tube(3-4cm inferior to the tracheostomy site, 2-3cm superior to the carina) and the anastomosis site that were narrowed to less than 5mm(4 cases). For the stenosis lesion in the endobronchial area, there were 2 patients with a lesion at the anterior wa l, 1 patient with a lesion at the posterior wall, 2 patients with circumferential stenosis. Laser ablation time was 25.4 $\pm$5.9min and used energy was 1768 $\pm$365J. We have used KTP laser via (lexible bronchoscope without major complications. Adjuvant radiation therapy may prevent fibroblast proliferation which leads to restenosis. In three patients of restenosis after laser ablation, adjuvant irradiation started within 4 hours after laser ablation, and the radiation doses were 1500cGy given in five fraction. In patients with adjuvant radiation therapy, stenosis has not recurred

  • The optimal treatments of carcinoma in situ of glottis include radiotherapy, laser surgery and vertical partial laryngectomy. Conventional surgical treatments need general anesthesia and radiotherapy has several complications. Recently, the effectiveness of 532 nm potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser has been proven and widely used in vocal fold diseases even some cases of vocal fold dysplasia. A patient with difficult laryngeal exposure underwent fiberoptic laryngeal laser surgery using KTP laser under local anesthesia, showed improved voice outcome and the glottic lesion was removed successfully without local recurrence and regional metastasis 18 months after surgery.
