The photoionization cross sections of the levels belonging to the ground configuration [Ne]3s 2 3p 6 3d of Fe 7+ and [Ne]3s 2 3p 6 of Fe 8+ have been investigated using the fully relativistic R-matrix method in the 2p-3d excitation region. The detailed resonance structures are described and analysed in some detail with the resonance positions, widths and oscillator strengths being determined. To identify the resonances, the transition energies and oscillator strengths are calculated by the multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method implemented by the GRASP code as well. The cross sections have also been obtained using the non-relativistic R-matrix calculations. The resonances in the relativistic calculation span a much broader energy region than the nonrelativistic result. For an iron plasma at a temperature of 20 eV and a density of 0.004 g cm −3 , which is a typical experimental condition recently carried out by Chenais-Popovics et al (2000 Astrophys. J. Suppl. Ser. 127 275), the autoionization widths of the 2p-3d resonances are much larger than the widths caused by the radiative lifetime and electron impact broadening, while the Doppler widths are smaller than but rather close to the autoionization widths.

Background: The skin-tarsus-skin and orbicularis-levator fixation approaches are the 2 most applied techniques for doubleeyelid blepharoplasty in China. However, both approaches have their own disadvantages. To achieve stable and dynamic upper eyelid creases, we take the merits of the 2 techniques. In this study, our orbicularis-tarsus-orbital septum fixation technique is introduced and evaluated. Methods: By transversely opening and turning down the anterior orbital septum, we created the septum roll anchored to the tarsus and the pretarsal muscular flap. As the motion transmitter, the roll could receive the pulling power of the levator aponeurosis transmitted to the tarsus and the septum respectively. With the help of the skin-septum roll-skin sutures, the roll passed on the pulling power directly to the pretarsal skin and thus the upper eyelid crease was formed.Results: This study identified 105 Chinese patients (210 eyes) who underwent this technique in our department between September 2020 and May 2021. The follow-up ranged from 7 to 15 months. 90, 6, and 7 patients were satisfied, somewhat satisfied, and somewhat unsatisfied with the postoperative outcome, respectively. The satisfaction rate was 91.43% (96/105). Two patients were unsatisfied with the outcome, including 1 case of bilateral crease disappearance and 1 case of sunken upper eyelid. Conclusions: The orbicularis-tarsus-orbital septum fixation technique is safe and effective for double-eyelid blepharoplasty. This technique helps to form stable upper eyelid creases. Meanwhile, it is easy to achieve ideal curve and symmetry. By preserving the pretarsal tissue and using the orbital septum, sunken scar formation can be avoided.
