Objective:To summarize the oblique branches found in the transfer of anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) and to handle the issues of oblique branch.Methods:Thirty patients who require surgery of ALTF transfer from May, 2017 to October, 2019 were enrolled. CTA examination was perfected prior surgery and the origin of ALTF vessels was preliminarily determined. During the surgery, Three-longitudinal-and-five-transverse methods were used to locate and design the flap. The ALTF was taken according to the flap design. Attention should be paid to the location of the oblique branch and the separation of the vessels of oblique branch to avoid a damage as much as possible. The vessels of oblique branch should be completely explored and separated. One or 2 vascular pedicles were cut according to whether the oblique branch vessels and the descending branch vessels were joined together during surgery. Clamping tests were carried out on the 2 vascular pedicles to determine an arterial blood supply. Super drainage of vascular pedicle veins according to the situation of blood circulation. After the surgery, routine treatment was carried out. Blood supply, skin temperature, swelling degree, exudation and survival of the flap were closely observed and regular follow-up was carried out.Results:Among the 30 ALTF examined by CTA, 13 patients were identified with oblique branch vessels before operation. During operation, 11 oblique branch vessels (The occurrencce rate was 36.6%)were found to enter the flap, and were completely preserved. Of the 11 identified oblique branch vessels, 8 had 2 vascular pedicles taken and the vascular pedicles were treated by venous super drainage technique. The postoperative blood supply of the flap was good; The skin temperature was closed to surrounding normal skin; Swelling of flap was minor and there was little seepage. The flaps all survived after surgery with stage one healing. Followed-up time was 3-32 (average 16.1) months. The recipient site healing was good, and the function and appearance were satisfactory. The joint movement at the donor site was normal, and there was no obvious loss of local sensation.Conclusion:More than one third of the oblique branches appear in this group. The oblique branch vessels should be preserved as much as possible to avoid issues in relation to the oblique branch. Reasonable handling of oblique branch is the key to the success of the surgery.

Objective Heart transplantation is an effective treatment of end-stage heart diseases and extending the time of donor heart preservation helps to make up for the shortage of donor hearts. This study was to investigate whether high-pressured mixed gas ( HPMG) of carbon monoxide and oxygen could prolong the time of donor heart preservation and its mechanisms. Methods Forty-eight C57BL/6 male mice aged 4-6 weeks were randomly divided in-to four groups of equal number:control ( the donor heart isolated but not transplanted) , immediate transplantation ( the donor heart transplanted right after isolated) , HTK-preservation ( the donor heart preserved in histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution for 24 hours after isolated, and HPMG preservation ( the donor heart preserved in an HPMG chamber with the oxygen partial pressure of 3200 hPa and carbon monoxide partial pressure of 800 hPa for 24 hours after isolated) .Another 36 recipient mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly assigned to receive the donor heart immediately after harvested (n=12), preserved in HTK solution (n=12), or preserved in HPMG (n=12).At 2 hours after transplantation, the status of heart re-beating and cardiac function were compared among different groups of recipient mice.At 24 hours, tissues were taken from the transplanted hearts for examination of pathologic changes by HE stai-ning, detection of the apoptosis of cardiac cells by TUNEL, and determination of the expressions of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 -Ⅱ(LC3-Ⅱ) and B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) by Western blot. Resul ts The re-beating rates of the imme-diately transplanted and HPMG-preserved hearts were significantly higher than that of the HTK-preserved ones (P<0.05).At 2 hours after transplantation, the cardiac function scores were 2.5 (2.0-2.9), 0.8 (0.5-1.0), and 4.5 (4.0-4.5) in the immediate implantation, HPMG-preservation and HTK-preservation groups respectively, with statistically significant differences between any two groups (P<0.05).The expressions of LC3-Ⅱand Bcl-2 were 2.06 ±0.29 and 0.87 ±0.18 in the HPMG-preserved heart recipients and 1.24 ±0.20 and 2.07 ±0.32 in the immediately transplanted heart recipients, both higher than 0.13 ±0.03 and 0.19 ±0.02 in the controls and 0.16 ±0.06 and 0.26 ±0.08 in the HTK-preserved heart recipients (P<0.05), the Bcl-2 higher in the HTK-pre-served heart recipients than in the controls (P<0.05), and the LC3-Ⅱ expression higher in the HPMG-preserved heart recipients than in the immediately transplanted heart recipients (P<0.05).HE staining showed that cell edema and inflammatory cell infiltration were more obvious in the HPMG-preserved heart recipients than in the controls and immediately transplanted heart recipients but less obvious than in the HTK-preserved heart recipients.The rate of cell apoptosis was dramatically increased in the HPMG-and HTK-pre-served heart recipients ([5.04 ±1.77]%and [26.72 ±5.23]%) in comparison with the controls ([1.08 ±0.56]%) (P<0.01) and immediately transplanted heart recipients ([2.13 ±1.71]%) (P<0.01) but decreased in the HPMG as compared with the HTK-preserved heart recipients (P<0.01). Conclusion High-pressured mixed gas preservation can reduce cold ischemia-reperfu-sion injury of the donor heart, which may be associated with its promotion of autophagy, provision of energy to cells, and apoptosis of cardiocytes in the donor heart.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the surgical methods and efficacy in 70 cases of type A aortic dissection patients over 65 years old.Methods From January 2005 to May 2012,70 type A aortic dissection patients over 65 years old received surgical treatment.Among them,there were 47 males aged 65 to 78 years old with mean 71,23 females,aged 65 to 72 years old with mean 68.55 cases were acute onset,while 15 cases were chronically onset.Different surgical methods were selected depend on patients' situations.We followed up all patients after discharged from hospital to continue to observe their health situation and evaluate the therapeutic effects.Results After surgery,eight patients died in the hospital,62 patients were recovered and discharged from the hospital.The mortality rate is 11.4％.During the follow up period from 3 to 72 months,there were no dead,aneurysm rupture and others severe complications.9 cases received endovascular graft exclusion within 6 months after discharged from hospital.The survival patients were satisfactory healed with their daily living activity resumed.Conclusion For over 65 years old patients with aortic dissection,the accurate and rapid selection of surgical method could improve the survival rate and the quality of life with a lower occurrence rate of complications.

BACKGROUND:The osmotic tissue expander is a self-fil ing device consisting of an osmotic active hydrogel which is made of vinylpyrrolidone and mehtylmethacrylate. It can absorb body fluids and swel up gradual y after embedded.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the short-term and long-term regular patterns as wel as histocompatibility of the osmotic tissue expander in vivo.
METHODS:A self-control design was carried out in Wistar rats by embedding the osmotic tissue expander and high-density polyethylene into each side of their spinal column subcutaneously. Wound healing, tissue expansion and inflammatory reaction were detected and compared at different periods after operation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the wounds got primary healing. The device expanded fastest at week 1 after the implantation. After being enlarged to about nine times that of the initial size at week 4, the expander slowed down its swel ing. It reached its ultimate volume at week 12 which was about 10 times as big as that of the initial one. Then it remained almost the same size until the end of our design. Pathological sections showed that the inflammatory reaction of osmotic-tissue-expander-group had no significant difference from that of the control group (P>0.05). These findings suggest that osmotic tissue expander has a slow-lasting swel ing ability and good histocompatibility.

Objective Background and objective The Cox maze Ⅲ procedure has been considered the gold standard for the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) and the modified Cox maze use bipolar radiofrequency ablation instead of the cut-and-sew technique,while also reducing the connecting lines in left atrium.This study was to understand whether completely isolation the posterior left atrium by increasing left atrium ablation lines can enhance the survival after modified Cox maze procedure.Methods From Jan 2009 to Dec 2009,all the patients underwent the Cox maze procedure,following the same examination,were divided into two groups (case-control): box lesion group (n =60),which is means the right and lefi pulmonary vein lesions were connected inferiorly by adding ablation lines,thereby completely isolating the posterior left atrium and the non-box lesion group (n =60).Similar interventions were given during the perioperative periods.Comparing the risk factors before surgeries,then follow-up was 100％ complete,and the mean follow-up was 9 ± 8.4 months.Results Except the box lesion had long time of extracorporeal circulation,the characteristics of the 2 groups were similar because there were no differences in age,AF duration,left atrial diameter,left ventricular ejection fraction or homochronous operation between the groups and there was no operative death.No patient was lost to follow-up.In the mean follow-up duration,a patient was died of intracerebral hemorrhage at 2 months postoperationly in the box lesion group and a patient suffered from stroke at 12 months postoperationly in the non-box lesion.The overall freedom from AF recurrence was higher in the box lesion group at 1 (70％ vs 51.2％,P =0.039) and 3 (78.3％ vs 60％,P =0.030) months.While it was 80％ vs 71.7％ (P =0.286) at 6 months.Eight patients wrere readmitted because of the recurrence of AF,4 and 2 patients underwent catheter ablation in box and non-box group respectively,one patient in each group underwent electrical conversion.After treatment,all of the patients were recovered to sinus rhythm and continued to take cordarone.Conclusion Compared to the single connecting between right and left pulmonary vein,isolating the entire posterior left atrium by creating a box lesion showed higher freedom from AF in the earlier months (1-3months).However,half a year after the surgery,there were no significant differences between the two groups.

Although the surgical techniques has already improved in heart transplantation, heart preservation is still the biggest obstacle to the surgery.At present, heart preservation effective time is only 4-6 hour.How to extent the time of heart preservation is a major research direction.Comparison of available preservations for heart transplantation based on its mechanism and the prospect of its Clinical application.

Objective: To evaluate the mitral, aortic and tricuspid valve replacement for rheumatic heart disease. Methods: From June 1990 to June 2001, 941 patients underwent valve replacement. Among them, 24 patients underwent simultaneously mitral, aortic and tricuspid valve replacement. There were 17 females and 7 males, with mean age of 36 years (ranged from 18 to 59 years). Eight patients had previous closed mitral valvotomy. Eleven patients complicated with left atrium thrombus, 16 with hapotomeglia, and 8 with ascites. The X ray results showed that the C/T ratio was 0.66 to 0.91. The heart function (NYHA) was class III in 9, and class IV in 15. All patients had combined mitral, aortic valve lesions associated with severe tricuspid valve regurgitation. Results: One patient died postoperatively with an operative mortality of 4.2%. 23 patients followed up from 20 to 36 months (mean, 26.4 months). There was no thrombolism and anticoagulant related hemorrhage. The echocardiography demonstrated the diameter of left atrium right ventricle, and LVDd significantly decreased after operation. The heart function was also significantly improved. Conclusion: The combination of mitral, aortic and tricuspid valve replacement could achieve a satisfactory result with low mortality and better recovery of heart function.
