Objective To explore relationships between the aesthetical education and the development of students' entire quality in medical school. Methods Taking the Introduction to Medical Aesthetics as the blueprint, we used the multimedia during the whole courses while considering our student's actual needs. Students were given tests and a questionnaire. Results 114 students took the examination, 89.5 % of which achieved the "good" grade, while 10. 5 % of them got the "pass"grade; none of them failed to the test. Conclusion The aesthetical education has taken great impressions on the development of the students' aesthetical quality.

Objective To report the experience on the modified Abb? flap for correction of mild tightness of the corrected cleft lip deformity. Methods Forty-two patients with a mild or moderately tight lip deformity after primary unilateral cleft lip repair were performed a modified Abb? flap for correcting tight upper lip. The operative technique was that the pocket was creased for the vermilion tubercle by splitting the lip. The skin was incised several millimeters beyond the vermilion-skin border and was moved laterally for a distance equal to the breadth of the vermilion tubercle. The orbicularis oris muscle and the full length of the upper lip vermilion were incised. By releasing the tension, the slight concavity, expressed in profile by the slight pout which a normal upper lip had in cross section, was obtained. The Abb? flap that was taken from the central portion of the lower lip vermilion, was designed to repair the vermilion tubercle and the Cupid's bow. The flap was approximately 8 mm in width. The full length of the lower lip vermilion and the orbicularis oris muscle were incorporated. A ting portion of skin was included, which facilitated closure of the donor site, The flap, based on the labial vessels, was rotated 180?and sutured into the created defect of the upper lip. The pedicle was divided 10 days after operation. Results Forty-two patients all showed an obvious Cupid's bow, Cupid's bow peak, the median tubercle and the height and width of the upper lip. The scarring of the base of the nose was not obvious. Conclusion Use of modified Abb? flap to reconstruct the contour of the upper lip is successful in patients with cleft lip.

Objective Developmental validation studies were designed according to the standards of forensic DNA community on DNATyperTM15 kit,which simultaneously amplifies 14 STR loci(D6S1043、D21S11、D7S820、CSF1PO、D2S1338、D3S1358、D13S317、D8S1179、D16S539、Penta E、D5S818、VWA、D18S51、FGA)and amelogenin,a sex-determining locus.Methods Several key factors were tested including:Ⅰ.amount of hot-start Taq polymerase;Ⅱ.annealing temperature;Ⅲ.sensitivity;Ⅳ.reaction volume;Ⅴ.cycle number;Ⅵ.primer concentration.DNATyperTM15 was also compared with two other widely used commercial STR amplification kits,namely IdentifilerTM and PowerPlex.Results No difference in performance was observed with three lots of DNATyperTM15.Performance was not affected even after 20 times of repeated freeze-and-thaw.All three kits performed comparably in the following aspects:Ⅰ.sensitivity;Ⅱ.ability to genotype mixed samples;Ⅲ.amplification of DNA from various sample sources.DNA extraction methods(Chelex-100,magnetic beads,silica beads)did not result in any observable effect on performance with any of the three kits.Conclusion All the results demonstrated that DNATyperTM15 is suitable for both forensic DNA database work and casework.

Objective:To introduce a new style of platysma myocutaneous flap and to evaluate its application value in the restoration of oral-maxiofacial defects.Methods:Platysma myocutaneous flap with apron incision was used for the restoration of oral-maxiofacial defects after oral lesion ablation in 15 cases from January,2014 to September,2015.The platysma muocutaneous flap was harvested with a U shaped apron incision.The skin above the flap pedicle was preserved.The platysma pedicle was widened to ensure the flap survival.All the patients were followed up form 4 to 33 months.Results:Of the 15 platysma myocutaneous flaps,12 survived completely and 3 had partial flap necrosis.The total survival rate of the flaps at the recipient site of buccal mucosa,tongue and alveolar was 8/9,1/3 and 3/3 respectively.Additionally,there were 2 cases of disturbed wound healing in the neck.Except for 1 case of carcinoma of gingiva which had apparent cervical scar and 1 case of tongue carcinoma which had limited tongue mobility,the other cases showed a satisfactory recovery of oral-maxillofacial contour and fucnction.Conclusion:Compared with the traditional platysma myocutaneous flap,the platysma myocutaneous flap with apron incision can provide a larger skin paddle,and is suitable for the restoration of small and medium sized buccal mucosa and alveloar defects,but not for tongue defect.

Objective To explore the indication,technology and clinical significance of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and primary suture in treatment of choledocholithiasis.Methods 78 patients with choledocholithiasis were divided into two groups receiving respectively laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and T-tube drainage treatment,and laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and primary suture after common bile duct exploration.The time of operation,postoperative hospital stay and complications were analyzed and compared.Results Bile leakage occurred in 2 cases in the primary suture group and 3 cases in the T-tube drainage group;No residual stones or biliary stricture was found in either groups.The time of operation,postoperative complications were not statistically different (P ＞ 0.05).The difference in postoperative hospital stay and GI function recovery time between the two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion In well selected cases,the primary suture of common bile duct after laparoscopic choledocholithotomy is feasible and safe.

Objective To evaluate orthotopic splenectomy and pericardial devascularization for the treatment of portal hypertension.Methods The modified anterior approach splenectomy includes dissection of the peri-splenic vessels and ligments before division of short gastric vessels.During pericardial devascularization,the dessection panel was close to the esophagus and the stomach,leaving intact both the anterior and posterior vagus trunks.Results 63 patients underwent this modified operation.The free portal pressure decreased from (38 ±4) cmH2O to(28 ±4)cmH2O.The average blood loss was (530 ± 37)ml.There was no mortality,nor perioperative gastric paralysis and portal venous thrombosis.By 12-36 months follow-up,there was no pancreatic leakage,hepatic coma and recurrence of bleeding.Intrahepatic portal venous thromboses were detected in 4 cases at the sixth postoperative months.Conclusions This modified splenectomy plus selective pericardial devascularization carries less bleeding and is safe and effective for the treatment of portal hypertension.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of chimeric deep circumflex iliac artery perforator flap (DCIAPF) applied in the simultaneous reconstruction of the oromandibular defect.

METHODSSix patients underwent simultaneous oromandibular reconstruction using DCIAPF following segmental mandibulectomy in Xiangya Hospital from March 2014 to July 2014. The skin paddle was designed to be centered on the pre-operative perforator mapping. Retrograde dissection was performed through the underlying abdominal wall to raise the skin paddle. The pedicle was isolated from the groin, and the iliac crest was cut. The deep iliac circumflex vessels were dissected until the skin paddle was reached. Finally, the donor site was strictly sutured layer by layer to avoid ventral hernia.

RESULTSThe skin paddles ranged from 3.5 cmx5.0 cm to 7.0 cmx 10.0 cm. The length of the bone components was 5.0 cm to 11.0 cm. All donor sites closed primarily without skin grafting. DCIAPF was harvested successfully in five patients, except for one patient whose perforator originated from the superficial iliac circumflex vessels. An additional pair of anastomoses was performed. All iliac flaps survived. However, slight skin-edge necrosis and exfoliation caused by flap thinning occurred in one patient and healed after pruning and dressing change. The heights of all alveolar ridges were significantly restored, and no serious donorsite complication was observed during the three to six months' follow-up.

CONCLUSIONDCIAPF is a reconstructive option for mandibular defects because of its adequate bone tissue and rich blood supply. Satisfactory alveolar ridge restoration greatly facilitates future denture retention. DCIAPF also has a great degree of mobility between the skin paddle and the bone component when appliedin composite oromandibular defect reconstruction.

Objective To assess the harvest method and application value of free-style anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTPF) in oral-maxillofacial reconstruction.Methods Fifty-three patients who suffered from oral and maxillofacial tumor underwent simultaneous reconstruction using free-style ALTPFs after radical resection from August,2013 to May,2014.Perforators of the ALTPF region were marked through hand-held Doppler probe preoperatively.Flaps were designed centered on perforators according to the defect size of the accepting site.Incisions were first made at the inner border of the designed flap.Perforators were exposed above the fascia lata femoris and then dissected retrogradely through the vastus lateralis muscle to harvest a vascular pedicle with desired caliber and length.Flap thinning was applied under microscope in some cases to compromise the need of the accepting site.Results All 53 flaps survived after transplantation while skin exfoliation occurred in 5 cases due to flap thinning.Four cases sustained partial necrosis and was cured by trimming and dressing changes.Five to 14 months' post-operative followup showed satisfactory accepting-site morphology with good speech function and swallowing recovery.All donor sites were closed primarily without skin-grafting,leaving no donor-site complications including incision disruption,scar hyperplasia and muscle strength degeneration of the lower limb.Conclusion Multiple perforators have been accu rately located preoperatively in free-style harvest approach of ALTPFs,thus optimal effects can be reached with decreased donor-site morbidity and improved aesthetic outcome to the uttermost,which accords with the refined,personalized and minimal invasive development concept of modem reconstructive surgery.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of malignant conversion of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) and the application value of polyflaps perforator flaps in its surgical treatment.Methodis Ten patients who suffered from malignant conversion of OSF underwent simultaneous multiple defects reconstruction using polyflaps perforator flaps after radical tumor resection from August 2012 to October 2014.The fibrous bands leading to severe trismus near the pterygomandibular ligament as well as other intraoral lesions with malignant tendency were also resected besides from the known carcinoma.Patients with synchronous multiple primary cancers underwent radical resection and neck dissection of all other malignant lesions.The flaps were cut and tailored between adjacent perforators according to the amount and size of defects,forming several independent paddles for each defect reconstruction.Results Twenty-two defects were formed in 10 patients with malignant conversion of OSF.All of them were repaired with polyflaps anterolateral thigh (ALT) perforator flaps,including 8 cases of bipaddled ALT flaps and 2 cases of tripaddled ALT flaps.The total size of the flaps ranges from 3 cm ～ 8 cm × 6 cm ～ 24 cm,and the pedicle length ranges from 5 ～ 12 (9.7 ± 2.1)cm.Thirty-five perforator vessels were dissected,and each paddle included 1.6 perforators on average.All flaps survived after transplantation,and only 1 patient had infection of the neck incision.Post-operative adjuvant radio-chemotherapy was applied in 2 patients.All patients showed satisfactory accepting-site morphology with good speech function and swallowing recovery,and their trismus was improved during 6 to 30 (11.6 ± 3.7) months.One patient died from lung metastasis 10 months after the surgery while local recurrent or metastasis did not occur in others.The donor sites were closed primarily without skin-grafting,leaving no obvious surgical donor-site complications.Conclusions Polyflaps perforator flaps can reconstruct multiple and sizable complicate defects,increase month opening by one stage operation.They are worth being applied in surgical treatment of malignant conversion of OSF.
