The arterial source of the flap,the anastomoses of cutaneous arteries in theskin and subcutaneous tissue and nervous distribution in the flap were observed andsurveyed in 42 upper limbs of adult cadavers.1.The arterial source of the flap comes mainly from the cutaneous branches ofprofund brachial artery,radial collateral artery,lateral humeral cutaneous artery andcutaneous branches of the posterior circumflex humeral artery.In most cases theprofund brachial artery and radial collateral artery may be served as the vascularpedicle of the flap of lateral brachium in transplantation.2.The cutaneous arteries in this flap anastomose each other to from a networkin the skin and subcutaneous tissue.Cutaneous arteries arising from the medial brac-hial region and the upper part of forearm also participate in the formation of thisvascular network.3.The veins of the flap contain both superficial and deep groups:The superfi-cial group is the cephalic vein of brachium which goes upward along the lateralsulcus of m.biceps brachii and its outer caliber is somewhat wider;the deep groupfollows the profund brachial artery or radial collateral artery as their venae comit-antes.Both groups may be sutured together or separately with veins of the recipientin skin grafting.4.The lateral brachial cutaneous nerve and posterior antebrachial cutaneousnerve pierce through the lateral intermuscular septum at various levels,and innervateover the skin in lateral brachial and posterior forearm regions.Since the posteriorbrachial cutaneous nerve is accompanied closely by the radial collateral artery,muchattention should be paid to it in cutting skin flap.5.The extent of cutting a skin flap in lateral brachial region can be enlargeddue to free anastomoses with arteries of adjacent regions which was demonstrated byperfusing red ink into profund brachial artery.The flap of lateral brachium maybe subdivided into following three parts:the upper,middle and lower,the vascularpedicle of which are the cutaneous branch of posterior circumflex humeral artery,lateral humeral cutaneous artery and profund brachial artery(or radial collateralartery)respectively.

The cutaneous arteries of the forearm and their anastomoses in skin and subcutaneous tissue were invetigated on 35 upper limbs.1. The average length of the radial artery is 215.3 mm. This artery can be divided into a covered part and a exposed part. Their lengths are 117.7 mm. and 101.4 mm. respectively. The calibers of the upper end, the intermediate point, and the lower end of the radial artery are 2.7mm, 2.3 mm and 2.4 mm respectively.2. The exposed part of the radial artery sends out more cutaneous branches (9.6 branches) than the covered part (4.2 branches), While their muscular branches are nearly equal in number. The calibers of the cutaneous and muscular branches of the radial artery varies from 0.3~0.5 mm.The fine anastomoses of the cutaneous branches exist between the radial and ulnar arteries and between the radial and ulnar arteries and the dorsal interosseus artery and they form an arterial networks in the subcutaneous tissue of the whole forearm. For blood supply a skin flap may be cut from the whole forearm from the standpoint of morphology.4. The calibers of the radial and cephalic veins at the level of middle part of the forearm are 1.3 mm and 2.8 mm respectively. As the vasular pedicle both the veins should be anastomosed during transplant operation in order to increase the volume of the draining blood.5. The skin flap of forearm blongs to a type of blood supply of arterial trunk network, which have been distinguished with that of some other skin and myocutaneous flaps according to the anatomical characteristics of the radial artery.

Objective To construct N6-methyladenosine related long non-coding RNA(LncRNA)pairing model for renal cell carcinoma based on bioinformatics analysis of the cancer ganome atlas(TCGA)database and to explore its prognosis value.Methods Transcriptome data of RNA-sep for renal cell carcinoma and its related clinical information were downloaded from the TCGA database.Perl software was used to organize and separate LncRNA and messenger RNA(mRNA)from the transcriptome data.A total of 564 tissues from renal cell carcinoma cases and 72 normal tissues were obtained,and thus 540 renal cancer patients were eventually included.Random data table method was used to divide 540 patients with renal cancer into a training group(n=275)and a validation group(n=265)by caret.M6A related LncRNA pairing models were established based on the single factor and multivariate COX regression analysis.The risk assessment equation was obtained using the LASSO regression algorithm.The risk scores were calculated based on this equation,and the optimal critical point of the median risk value was applied to divide all patients into high-risk and low-risk groups.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to make a survival curve for the differences between high and low risk groups in the overall sample.The gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analyses were conducted using the Cluster Profiler software package.The relationship between N6-methyladenosine related LncRNA pairing model and immune cell infiltration was analyzed by R software.Results Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed the total survival time of patients in the low-risk group was significantly higher than that of patients in the high-risk group of the training group(P<0.05).Compared with high risk group,the overall survival time of patients(G1~2,G3~4,Ⅰ~Ⅱ,or Ⅲ~Ⅳ,age≤65 years,or patients>65 years old)in low risk group was higher(P<0.05).Differential gene enrichment analysis was obtained for high and low risk groups,which mainly enriched with many differential genes such as muscle contraction,rhabdomytic cell differentiation,myofibril,receptor activation activity,and vascular smooth muscle contraction.The highest driver genes in high risk group and low risk group exhibited mutation frequency and mutation information,and their risk score was positively correlated with the degree of T cell and plasma cell infiltration(r=0.638,P=0.001).Conclusion Bioinformatics-based analysis of the N6-methyladenosine related LncRNA pairing models can be helpful to predict the prognosis of patients with renal cancer.It provides new ideas for the prognosis evaluation and optimal treatment strategy of renal cancer,and contributes to further analyzing the molecular mechanism of the occurrence and development of gastric cancer in the future.
