Objective To identify whether the branches of cervical nerve roots joined into the accessory nerve trunk or not.Methods In 10 adult cadavers (7 males and 3 females, including 20 laterals of brachial plexus nerves), we observe source of cervical plexus branches to the accessory nerve anatomically.In 10 clinical cases of males with brachial plexus nerve injures, in the supraclavicular approach of brachial plexus exploration, the part of the supraclavicular cutaneous nerve for histological specimen were cut off;in the posterior approach, electrical stimulation of the trunk and branches of cervical plexus were performed to observed istaltrapezius muscle contraction.After accessory nerve transfer, the residual terminal accessory nerve and branch of cervical plexus were taked for histological specimens;and observed and judged of each nerve sample by acetylcholinesterase (AchE) immunohistochemical staining.Results In 10 of 20 lateral cases, cervical plexus communicating branches were derived from the fourth cervical nerve root.The intraoperative electrical stimulation of the accessory nerve trunk, 10 cases of distal trapezius muscle were significantly shrink;electrical stimulation of the cervical plexus branch, 2 cases after stimulation of the mild distal trapezius contraction, the remaining 8 cases without trapezius muscle contraction.10 cases of supraclavicular nerve staining for AchE were negative, 10 cases of accessory nerve terminal branches of AchE staining were mixed,10 cases of branch AchE cervical plexus to the accessory nerve staining were negative.Conclusion The branches of the fourth cervical nerve root constantly joins into the accessory nerve, participating in the trapezius muscle inner vation, the fibers of the branches are sensorial fibers.

BACKGROUND:Recently, the clinical repair methods of irregular wound on fingers primarily include local pedicled flap and free mini-flap of upper extremities or lower extremities.
OBJECTIVE:To discuss the application of free mini-flap derived from upper limb in repairing the wound on fingers.
METHODS:From December 2010 to February 2014, 12 patients with irregular wounds on 12 fingers were selected from Department of Traumatic Orthopaedics and Hand Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, China. The size of wounds ranged from 1.5 cm × 2.0 cm to 3.0 cm × 4.5 cm with different degrees of bone or tendon exposure. After the debridement, 12 patients were treated by free mini-flaps of upper limb. The donor sites were directly sutured.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Among the 12 patients, al the wounds at recipient and donor sites were healed at stage I, and the free mini-flags survival completely. Al of patients were fol owed up for 3-6 months (average 4.5 months). Free mini-flags had good appearance and needn’t undergo secondary trimming. The active motion of fingers was improved dominantly. According to the criteria of Hand Surgery Association Society of Chinese Medical Association Society for the function evaluation of upper limb, three cases were excellent, eight were good, and only one was bad. The excellent and good rate was 91%. Free mini-flaps of upper limb are an ideal method for repair of wounds on fingers. It has no injury to normal tissue in hands, donor site is very secluded, and the short-term curative effect is good.

OBJECTIVE To design a new draining method for near total thyroidectomy. METHODS Bilateral drainages were performed during near total thyroidectomy in 63 cases between December 1998 and July 2004.The bilateral drain incision for near total thyroidectomy was performed at the lower part of the neck.RESULTS All the draining operative procedures produced cosmetic scars and the drainage was effective.The mean amount of drainage was 38 ml(minimum 10 ml,maximum 120 ml)and no patients developed wound infection. Postoperative drain incision was limited under the clavicle,covered by the collar and left the patients satisfied with the results.There were no postoperative hematoma or seroma.CONCLUSION The bilateral drain incision for near total thyroidectomy placed at the lower part of the neck results in a cosmetic scar, which is easily covered by the collar and was safe and effective.

Objective To explore the changes of gut microbiota in response to abdominal and pelvic radiotherapy and its potential relationship with intestinal infection.Methods Irradiation was delivered to the abdominal region of BALB/c mice,following the regular human pelvic-radiotherapy protocol,2.0 Gy/d,continuous 5 d/week.Samples of ileum tissue and the intestinal content were collected at different time points of irradiation procedure,including after 3 and 5 weeks,and at 1 week after 6 weeks of irradiation.Quantitative RT-PCR was used to measure the mRNA level of antimicrobial peptides and pro-inflammtory factors.Bacterial translocation was determined by PCR.The gut microbiota was characterized by the denaturing gradient electrophoresis assay.Results The expressions of cryptdin-1 and cryptdin-4 were decreased after 3 weeks of irradiation and at 1 week after 6 weeks of irradiation(t =-7.43,-3.54,-4.72,-4.27,P ＜ 0.05),while they were significantly increased at the 5 weeks of radiation (t =6.15,5.75,P ＜ 0.05).The diversity index and richness of gut microbiota after 3 or 5 weeks irradiation were significantly decreased (t =-3.49,-4.19,-3.44,-4.97,P ＜ 0.05).The gut microbiota dysbiosis of the irradiated mice was characterized with the decrease of probiotics of Lactobacillus and the increasing of opportunistic pathogen of Escherichia coli,Shigella flexneri,et al.Bacterial translocation episodes were more frequently in the irradiated mice than that of control animal.The mRNA levels of IL-1β、IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased after 3 or 5 weeks of irradiation (t =4.85,6.16,7.71,4.60,4.86,5.97,P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the control,the expression levels of IL-1β and TNF-α at the 1 week after 6 weeks of irradiation ending was also obviously enhanced (t =3.67,5.88,P ＜0.05).Conclusions Pelvic radiotherapy can induce abnormality of enteric antimicrobial peptides and may result in gut microbiota dysbiosis.The disturbed gut microbial flora may further trigger an incurrence of bacterial translocation and enteritis.Therefore,the gut microbiota may be a potential interfering target to alleviate radiotherapy adverse effect.

Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of tumstatin related peptide T3 mediated by short peptide to osteosarcoma vascular. Methods Through MTS assay, wound healing assay, the inhibitory effect of targeting-T3 peptide and T3 peptide on the human umbilical veil endothelial cell was studied in vitro. After the preparation of 50 nude mice model bearing osteosarcoma, the nude mice bearing too large or too small tumors were eliminated and the left ones were divided into 4 groups (6 animals for each group: T3 peptide, targeting-T3 peptide, CTX, PBS) randomly. Through weight of tumor, histopathologicol slice and immunohistochemical methods. The inhibitory action of targeting-T3 peptide and T3 peptide on the neoge-netic vascular of osteosarcoma implanted in nude mouse was studied. Results In vitro, both T3 peptide and targeting-T3 peptide effectively inhibited the proliferation of human umbilical veil endothelial cell. In the experiment of vivo, the average weight of tumor of targeting-T3 peptide group was (1.104?.247) g, the average weight of the T3 peptide group was (1.484?.369) g. There was the statistical difference in tumor inhibition on the osteosarcoma betweent the targeting-T3 group and T3 group (F=16.353, P=0.000). The positive rate of vascular endothelial growth factor and metastasis in the lung in the targeting-T3 peptide group all descended than the T3 peptide group. Conclusion Because of the short peptide to osteosarcoma vascular, targeting-T3 peptide could significantly restrain the development of osteosarcoma. Coupling short peptide to T3 peptide increase the selective binding of T3 peptide to osteosarcoma vascular.
