Objective:To investigate the influence of acrylamide ( ACR) on adult neurogenesis and expression of GSK 3βin mouse.Methods:Method Adult male Kunming mice were used and divided into two groups:control group and experimental poisoning groups,that were exposured to acrylamide by intraperitoneal injection.Brdu labeling and immunohistochemistry were used to investigate the proliferation of adult neural stem cells in the subgranular zone ( SGZ).BrdU/NeuN/GFAP triple labeling to investigate the survival and differentiation of newly generated cells.Detecting GSK3βexpression and distribution in Neuro-2a cells,the expression of GSK3βwas examined by using Western blot.Results:Compared with control mice ,lower number of BrdU-positive cells and less differentiated into neurons in ACR mice.Less neural stem cells survived ,but more glia cells were generated in the subgranular zone of acrylamide mice.Moreover,higher phosphorylated GSK 3β( Ser9 ) were detected in Neuro-2a cells and mouse dentate gyrus in ACR mice respectively .Conclusion:These results suggested that acrylamide inhibits neural stem cells proliferation and influences the survival and differentiation of newly generated cells.Acrylamide inhibits neurogenesis maybe through GSK 3βsignaling pathway.

Objective:
To evaluate one-stage repair of leg open fracture with soft tissue defect by fixation plus skin flap.
Methods:
From January 2011 to January 2018, 34 patients with leg open fracture plus soft tissue defect were treated at Department of Orthopedics, The Second Affiliated Hospital to Harbin Medical University. They were 31 males and 3 females, aged from 13 to 54 years(average, 35 years). According to the Gustilo classification, the defects were type ⅢA in 31 cases and type ⅢB in 3 cases. The wound size ranged from 6 cm×3 cm to 25 cm×10 cm. All patients were treated with emergency fracture fixation and flap repair by one stage after thorough debridement. Internal bone plating was performed in 32 patients and external fixation at a single arm in 2 patients. All defects were repaired with a free anterolateral thigh flap. Flap survival, vascular crisis and bone infection were followed up postoperatively.
Results:
All the free flaps survived in the 34 cases with no vascular crisis. These patients were followed up for 6 months to 3 years (average, 10 years). The flaps healed well, with good appearance and soft texture. No bone infection occurred at the defective sites. After postoperative rehabilitation, the knee extension ranged from 160° to 180°, knee flexion from 90° to 110°, ankle dorsal extension from 90° to 110°, and ankle plantar flexion from 100° to 120°.
Conclusion
Soft tissue defects in leg open fracture can be effectively treated by flap repair after thorough debridement at the same time of fracture fixation, because the primary wound healing can avoid infection and lead to fine survival of the flap.
