Objective To explore a modified technique of perforator flap anatomical study,in an attempt to understand the vascular territory of the specific perforator vessel in flaps,and determined its application in posterior tibial artery perforator flaps.Methods From October,2013 to October,2014,6 corpse were used in this study.A full-thickness posterior tibial artery perforator flap was excised from the crus of a fresh adult corpse.The anatomical measurements were synchronized with the procedure.The isolated skin flaps were fixed in a frame made of silk screen and batten and subsequently photographed.In vitro skin flaps were divided into 3 groups:full-thickness,without deep fascia,and without subcutaneous adipose layer.The skin flaps were perfused with barium sulfate silicone,and photographed using mammography after coagulation of the silicone.The imaging data were processed by digital software system.Results The mean number of posterior tibial artery perforators in the lower medial leg was 4.17 ± 0.94.The projection points of perforated sites were located in the area 2-3 cm lateral to the A-C line.The proximal border was (4.51 ± 1.84)cm distal to the plane of tibial medial condyle;the distal border reached the medial malleolus plane;and the anterior and posterior borders reaching the anterior and posterior midline of the crus respectively.And according to the comparison of the 3 group processed images,vascular territory change could be obtained.And this could provid clinicians with reliable anatomical information,guiding the acquisition and trimming of perforator flaps.Conclusion The modified strategy intuitively indicated the blood vascular areas of different artery perforator flaps of varying thickness and the vascular branches as well as their courses.The approach is profoundly significant in guiding the acquisition of skin flaps and for the trimming and reconstruction of flaps.The deep fascia of posterior tibial artery perforator flaps plays a negligible role in the blood supply of flaps.Furthermore,the subcutaneous adipose tissues in the distal portion of flaps can be thinned appropriately,with limited vascular consequences.

Objective To introduce 13 clinical cases of reconstructing traumatic defect on skin of thumb and first web using nail skin flap of big toe connectedwith tibial flap of second toe.Methods From May 2003 to April 2007,a series of 13 case8 of traumatic thumb and first web defect were treated by transplantation of nail skin flap of big toe connecting with tibial skin flap of second toe.Among which two total hand degloving injury cages were included too.Two kind of way according the Gilbert type of the Ist metatarsus dorsal artery were used.Results All the cases were successful and healed by first intention.The contour of reconstructed thumbs showed to be normal or approximately normal.Follow-up examination were obtained in nine cases for 3-17 postoperative months(average 7 months).Sensations of pain,touch and temperature recovered.The two-point-discrimination sensation were found to be 7-17 mm respectively.Opposition measured were 60°-85°(average 75°).All the patients can be back to work and restored activities of daily living.Conclusion In treating soft tissue defect of thumb and first web,transplantation of the nail skin flap of big toe connecting with tibial lateral skin flap Can yield ideal skin covering and exceHent motor function.

Objective To present some revision surgery for correcting short and bulky outward appearance of reconstructed finger pulp in toe-to-hand transfer. Methods Since Sep. 1998 to Dec. 2006,in a series of 33 patients, 39 fingers had been reconstructed with 2nd toe. In order to change the shape of bulbous distal toe segment into a normal tapering fingertip, revisional operations had been designed, i.e. (1)Excision of bulky skin and excessive soft tissue from one or both sides of the finger pulp. (2)Transfer and inlaid the excised lateral soft tissue flap to the central constricting part of the finger pulp. (3)Full thickness skin graft to palmar central narrow part of toe pulp. 4. Rotational transfer of local lateral "L" shape flap. Results All the patients healed by first intention with no skin necrosis occurred. The bulbous rectangular shaped toe pulp were corrected and outward appearance were much improved in most cases. Though the outward appearance in one simple skin graft case was not satisfactory in correcting flexion deformity of distal segment and increased its circumference. Conclusion In toe-to-hand transfer, the distal segment of reconstructed finger often shown to have an bulbous toe pulp appearance, which may bring psychological burden to the patient and their relatives. Simple revisional surgery recommended here may yield favorable improvement.

Objective To investigate the digital subtraction angiography (DSA) manifestations and clinical value of interventional embolization of renal artery with severe hemorrhage following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).Methods 34 patients with severe hemorrhage following PCNL from Feb 2012 to Jun 2015 were subjected to perform renal arterial DSA, which was followed by super-selective renal arterial embolization (SRAE) with steel micro-coils and guglielmi detachable coils together with or without biological glue (GLUBRAN2). The patients were followed up for 6 ~ 12 months.Results Of the 34 patients, DSA examination showed that renal artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) was found in 22 (64.7%), renal arteriovenous ifstula (RAVF) in 8 (23.5%) and RAP associated with RAVF in 4 (11.8%). Successful embolization with single session was achieved in all 34 patients. Both the technical success rate and the hemostasis rate were 100.0%. Meanwhile, the renal tissue and function were mainly reserved and no serious complication of embolization was observed. No hematuria recurrence or renal function failure appeared in all patients during the follow-up period. In 26 patients, different degree of embolism syndrome was observed after the treatment.Conclusions Renal artery pseudoaneurysm and renal arteriovenous ifstula are the main types of renal artery injury resulting in severe hemorrhage after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Super-selective renal arterial embolization (SRAE) with steel micro-coils and guglielmi detachable coils together with or without biological glue (GLUBRAN2) is a minimally invasive method that can promptly stop the renal bleeding, and preserve the renal tissue and function to the greatest possible advantage. Therefore, this technique should be regarded as the ifrst choice in the treatment of the patients who suffered from severe hemorrhage occurred after PCNL.

Objective To discuss the clinical application and therapeutic effect of repairing deformed thumb in the way of transposition of abandoned polydactyly with neurovascular bundles.Methods From January 2005 to December 2011,six cases of type Ⅳ deformities of thumb duplications were treated with excision of thin and deformed thumb phalangette of trunk,the redundant hyperdactylia,which was well-formed and involved in the first web space,was then transposed with neurovascular bundles to the thumb phalangette of trunk by the first web space and the side of thumb for fixation followed by repairation of form of thumb phalangette.The surplus metacarpal bone and phalanx of duplications were removed and the first web space was reconstructed.Results All 6 cases of heterotopic thumb phalangette transplanted to the deformed thumb phalangette were completely survived.Kirschner wires were removed 4 weeks after operation.Fracture healing occured after 4 to 6 weeks after operation.Postoperative follow-up period ranged from 3 months to 1 year.Transplanted thumbs possessed well-formed appearance with previous sensation on the finger pulp as well as excellent function of grabbing and opposing.Conclusion To repair deformity of trunk thumb in the way of microsurgery by means of transposition of duplicated thumb with neurovascular bundle which should be abandoned,is a simple operation with satisfactory and reliable postoperative effect.It shall be spred and applied.

Objective To investigate the outcome of the finger reconstruction using one toe transfer to repair the tissue defects of two fingers at the same time. Methods Two fingers joint tissue missing and finger defect of 8 fingers in 4 cases were reconstructed with dissociative transplants harvested from two parts of the same toe at the same time.Using the paratelum of the second toes reconstructed the indicis paratelum or finger tip,and using the proximal interphalangeal joint of the second toes repaired the proximal interphalangeal joint's tissue defects of the middle finger at the same time in 2 cases.Using the distal interphalangeal joint and the proximal interphalangeal joint of one second toe reconstructed the proximal interpha langeal joints of the index finger and the middle finger in 1 case.Using the proximal interphalangeal joint and the metatarsophalangeal joint of one second toe reconstructed the metacarpophalangeal joints of the index finger and the middle finger in 1 case. Results All the transplants survived.The patients were followed-up from 2 months to 46 months postoperatively.The function and shape of 2 resconstruction fingers were excellent as assessed with Criterion on Functional Evaluation on Finger Reconstruction issued by Chinese Society of Hand Surgery.Five resconstruction fingers were good.One resconstruction finger was fire. Conclusion For some appropriate cases with the tissue defects of 2 fingers such as the finger's paratelum,the interphalangeal joint or the metacarpophalangeal joint,this operated technique was a good method.

Objective: To investigate the awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge and its influencing factors among female sex workers (FSWs) in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province. Methods: According to the HIV/AIDS Sentinel Surveillance Plan, FSWs at ages of 15 to 65 years monitored by the national AIDS surveillance sentinel in Jiaxing City were recruited, and demographic information, awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge and related behaviors were collected by questionnaire surveys. Factors affecting the awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge were identified by a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 430 questionnaires were allocated, and 412 were valid, with an effective rate of 95.81%. The respondents had a mean age of (28.58±4.93) years, and included 258 unmarried FSWs (62.62%), 344 with registered residence outside Zhejiang Province (83.50%), 212 with junior high school education or below (51.46%) and 243 from high-end entertainment places (58.98%). The overall awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge among FSWs was 20.39%, and the awareness of "Transfusion of blood containing hepatitis C virus may acquire hepatitis C" (38.83%) and the awareness of "tattooing, eyebrow tattooing and ear piercing in streets or small shops may infect hepatitis C" (38.11%) were relatively low. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified marital status (divorced or widowed, OR=0.161, 95%CI: 0.054-0.482), educational level (high school or technical secondary school, OR=2.568, 95%CI: 1.446-4.560; junior college or above, OR=6.110, 95%CI: 2.658 -14.045) and grade of entertainment places (high-end entertainment places, OR=2.756, 95%CI: 1.525-4.982) as factors affecting the awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge among FSWs. Conclusion FSWs in Jiaxing City have a low awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge, especially lacking of knowledge about the transmission routes and prognosis of hepatitis C.
