Objective To determine whether normal-appearing cervical spinal cord in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has abnormal changes based on the quantitative measurement in healthy volunteers. Methods Conventional MRI and axial DTI were obtained in 16 patients with ALS (ALS group) and 16 age-matched control subjects (normal group) . ADC, fractional anisotropy (FA) and relative anisotropy(RA)imagcs were obtained on workstation (AW4. 2). ROIs (5 mm × 5 mm) were placed in anterior funicalus, posterior funiculus, and bilateral lateral corticospinal tracts (LCTs), respectively, at the same slice (C3). Independent-sample t test was used for comparison of parameters between the two groups. Correlations between DTI parameters of ALS and ALS course, Norris score, and ALSFRS were carried out separately by Pearson correlation analysis. Results FA and RA values of bilateral LCTs were decreased significantly. FA/RA values of left LCT were 0.762±0.089 and 0.762±0.107 in ALS group, while they were 0.863±0.098 and 0.890±0.105 in control group, respectively. FA/RA values of right LCT were 0.751±0.065 and 0.772±0.082 in ALS group, and they were 0.843±0.118 and 0.863±0.134 in control group, respectively, they were decreased significantly (t = 2.575、4.195、2.246、2.218, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences (t = - 1.319, - 1.087, P > 0.05) between ADC values of left and right CSTs in ALS group [(0.744±0.162) × 10~(-3), (0.767±0.141) × 10-~(3) mm~2/s] and control group [(0.640±0.149) ×10~(-3), (0.643±0.168) ×10~(-3) mm~2/s)]. FA, RA and ADC values of ALS patients in anterior funiculus were 0.637±0.113, 0.622±0.138, (0.950±0.354)×10~(-3) mm~2/s, in control group they were 0.670±0.117, 0.656±0.136, (0.865±0.238) × 10~(-3) mm~2/s, there were no significant differences (t = 0.854, - 0.704, - 1.155,P > 0.05). FA, RA and ADC values of ALS patients in posterior funieulus were 0.886±0.073, 0.920±0.100, (0.613±0.137)×10~(-3) mm~2/s, in control group they were 0.906±0.078, 0.914±0.135, (0.636±0.224) × 10~(-3) mm~2/s, there were no significant differences (t = 1.655, - 0.148, - 1.360; P > 0.05). No significant correlation existed between FA and RA values and disease course, Norris and ALSFRS score (P > 0.05), in left and right LCTs. Conclusion DTI with SE-EPI technique is simple and sensitive to detect the pathological changes of the cervical spinal cord in ALS patients. DTI can reveal the abnormalities which are "normal appearing" on conventional T_2WI.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the bridge pedicled transplantation of medial leg fascial flap combined with medial hemisoleus muscle flap for contralateral leg soft tissue defect.Methods:Between January of 2012 and January of 2018, 12 patients with soft tissue defect of the leg were treated with bridge pedicled transplantation of contralateral medial leg fascial flap combined with medial hemisoleus muscle flap by posterior tibial artery. There were 9 males and 3 female, aged from 19 to 53 years (mean, 35 years). The size of the soft-tissue defects ranged from 12 cm×8 cm to 18 cm×9 cm. The immediate coverage of the fascial and muscle flaps and vessel pedicle were repaired by a meshed split-thickness skin graft. The donor site was closed directly. After the transplantation of the one pedicle and two flaps survived, vascular pedicle was cut off.Results:All the fascial and muscle flaps survived completely. No clinical vascular deficiency was found on the fascial and muscle flaps postoperatively. One case developed distal muscle flap small skin graft necrosis, and spontaneous healed after 2 weeks of dressing change. Follow-up period ranged from 2.5 to 4.5 years (mean 3.8 years). A good contour was confirmed both at the recipient and donor sites. Satisfactory clinical results were obtained in this series.Conclusion:This method is suitable for the treatment of soft tissue defects of the leg with only one major blood vessel, which reduces the damage to the donor site.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of the repairing anterior tibial adjacent double wounds by transposition with single-pedicle two flaps of the medial head of gastrocnemius.Methods:Between January of 2012 and January of 2018, 10 patients with the anterior tibial adjacent double wounds (7 males and 3 female, aged from 21 to 45 years) were treated by transposition with single-pedicle two flaps of the medial head of gastrocnemius. The size of the soft-tissue defects ranged from 2.0 cm×2.5 cm to 4.5 cm×4.0 cm. The medial head of the gastrocnemius was divided into two flaps with a single pedicle to repair two adjacent wounds of the anterior tibial. The muscle flaps were immediately covered by a meshed split-thickness skin graft, and the wound in donor site was closed directly.Results:All the muscle flaps survived completely. No clinical vascular deficiency was found on the muscle flaps postoperatively. Small wound dehiscence was developed in one patient and spontaneously healed 2 weeks after dressing change. Patients were followed up for 2.0 to 4.5 years. A good contour was confirmed at the recipient and donor sites. Satisfactory clinical results were obtained in this series.Conclusion:This method is suitable for the repair of two adjacent small wounds of the anterior tibial which can reduce the damage to the donor site.
