Objective:To investigate the application of lateral upper arm free flap in the repair of postoperative soft tissue defects after operation in the patients with tongue cancer, and to evaluate its survival rate and repair effect. Methods:Ten patients with tongue cancer, having a desire to repair soft tissue defect after tongue cancer operation, and their systemic state could tolerate the long time operation, were selected to repair tongue cancer postoperative defects with lateral upper arm flaps. Among them, 7 cases were male, 3 cases were female;aged 45-67 years old, average 52.1 years old.Radical resection of tongue cancer was primarily finished, then the flaps were designed and prepared to repair the defects of tongue according to the location and size of defects.After the operation, the survival rate of the flap was observed, and the effect of repair was evaluated according to the shape, size, volume and movement of the tongue.Results:The lateral upper arm flaps were stable and simple to prepare, the donor sites were concealed, and the upper limbs were not abnormal.All of flaps survived, and all of wounds healed primarily.The shape, size, and texture of tongues were satisfied, and the movements of tongue were not significantly restricted.After repair, the voice, mastication and swallowing function of the patients were good without obvious influence.Conclusion:The survival rate of lateral flap of upper arm is high, and the tongue shape and function were good after tongue defect repair.It is an ideal free flap for repairing the tongue tissue defect of tongue cancer after operation.

Objective To summarize the successful experience of three cases of heart-lung transplantations performed in our institute.Methods From July 2003 to August 2012,three patients,with diagnosis of end-stage heart-lung diseases,received heart-lung transplantation in our institute.One case was diagnosed as congenital atrial septal defect,Eisenmanger syndrome,NYHA class Ⅳ; one was dilated cardiomyopathy with moderate/severe pulmonary arterial hypertension,NYHA class Ⅲ-Ⅳ,one was diagnosed as double outlet left ventricle (DOLV) with ventricle septal defect and stenosis of pulmonary artery and its left and right branches,NYHA class Ⅲ-Ⅳ.Donor hearts were preserved with UW solution,donor lungs were preserved with Euro-Collin solution in case one and with low potassium dextran containing prostaglandin E1 in the others.Extensive disinfection and strict scrutiny were implemented postoperatively.Immunosuppressive therapy included administration of zenapax or basiliximab preoperatively,methylprednisolone during the operation,and cyclosporine a/tacrolimus + prednisone + mycophenolate postoperatively.Surgical hemostasis is of great importance,as the total pleural effusion reaches 14 640 ml within 31 days postoperatively in case two.Strict postoperative disinfection and isolation were implemented,and management of the respiratory tract was intensified.Therapeutic bronchoscopy was performed frequently for sputum suction.In case two,bronchoscopy was used thirteen times within 40 days after transplantation.Broad-spectrum antibiotics and antifungal antibiotics were used for infection control.Results All three patients were discharged after recovery from operation.Case one died of obstructive bronchitis and lung failure caused by chronic rejection four years and ten months postoperatively.Case two died of sudden cerebrovascular accident 68 days after operation.Case three survives more than one year postoperatively so far and is still alive.Conclusion Proper preservation of the donor heart and lung,perfect surgical hemostasis,strict infection control,frequent application of bronchoscopy and appropriate immunosuppressive management are critical to the success of heart-lung transplantation.

OBJECTIVE: Lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) of salivary glands is a rare malignant neoplasm. The purpose of this research was to investigate the clinicalpathologic features and treatment methods of this rare disease. METHOD: The clinical data and treatment outcomes of 17 patients from 2006 to 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. RESULT: Ten males and seven females with a ratio of 1. 43:1 were involved. The II, III, IV stage cases were 7 (41.2%), 4 (23.5%), 6 (35.3%), respectively. The average follow-up duration was 2.56 years, and 12 patients had no evidence of recurrence. Five patients had local recurrence and (or) distant metastases within three years after surgery, including 4 deaths. CONCLUSION LEC in salivary gland is a high grade malignant tumor in oral and maxillofacial region, occurring predominately in parotid gland and submandibular gland. To prevent distant metastasis, radical surgery combined with chemoradiotherapy should be adopted.

Objective To study the physical activities for myopia in children. Methods ICF theory and literature research were used to analyze the current status of myopia in children, as well as the related factors, and mechanisms of formation and improvement, and discussed the physical activity for their visual function and overall development. Results Myopia was epidemic and began in low ages. The related factors mainly included focus time, less in physical activities, stress in education and poor vision environment. Myopia happened through the ciliary muscle spasm and synergistic dysfunction. Physical activity played a role like adjustment function training to improve the function of ciliary muscles, and promote the development of vision.Conclusion Development of special physical activities based on the theory of ICF may improve the visual function in children and promote their overall development.

Objective To investigate the developmental characteristics of static visual acuity (SVA) and kinetic visual acuity (KVA) and the correlation between the for children. Methods From April to June, 2018, SVA and KVA of 715 children aged 6 to 10 years in Suzhou were tested with logarithmic visual chart and KVA meter. Results KVA and SVA increased with age within 6 to 9 years old, and decreased then. KVA was higher in boys than in girls (t = 4.604, P < 0.001), but not significantly different for SVA (t = 1.822, P > 0.05). There was a moderate positive correlation between KVA and SVA (r = 0.552, P < 0.01). KVA can predicted SVA (B = 0.617, P < 0.001). Conclusion KVA and SVA develop for children aged 6 to 9, and moderately positive correlate with each other. It means SVA may be improved via training of KVA.

Objective To systematically research the policies and core contents of World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) documents on policies, guidelines and standards for health-promoting schools and health services. Methods These policy documents included Making Every School a Health-promoting School: Implementation Guidelines, WHO Guidelines on School Health Services, and Making Every School a Health Promoting School Global Standards and Indicators, which construct a conceptual and policies framework for health-promoting schools. In perspective of health service system, this study systematically explored the policies, guidelines and standards of WHO and UNESCO on health-promoting schools and health services, as well as the role of health-promoting school component systems in promoting the health of children and how physical activity can be an important area of health-promoting schools. Results The Health Promoting Schools Initiative is an important area of research for the WHO health services. Making Every School a Health-promoting School: Implementation Guidelines primarily serves students aged five to 19, teachers and other staff in schools. WHO Guidelines on School Health Services cover a variety of activity types including health promotion, health education, preventive interventions, clinical assessment and health services management. Making Every School a Health Promoting School Global Standards and Indicators covers eight global criteria and thirteen specific areas in the areas of policy resources, curriculum and environment, and community engagement. Conclusion WHO and UNESCO have proposed a series of policies related to building health-promoting schools, which focus on child health and advocate the promotion of child and adolescent health, public health, education, social and economic development through schools to achieve the goal of safeguarding the health rights of children and adolescents and meeting health needs. Following the WHO Guidelines on School Health Services and Making Every School a Health Promoting School Global Standards and Indicators, it proposed to incorporate educational and physical education tools into the school health service system.
