ObjectiveTo introduce clinical experience of the modified lateral crural reverse island skin flap with two sets of blood supply system for aged ankle & foot soft tissue defect.MethodsOn the anatomy base that cutaneous artery branches of lateral crural reverse island skin flap and perforating branches of sural neurocutaneous vascular flap were originated from peroneal artery, we designed the modified lateral crural reverse island skin flap located in posterolateral cruris treated for aged ankle & foot soft tissue defect. The modified flap had two sets of blood supply system which were from lateral crural flap and sural neurocutaneous flap.ResultsAll 11 flaps survived. The skin grafting of donor sites healed well. Followed up 3-9 months, six cases were satisfactory. Five cases with extensor defect were regained by tendon transplantation after 3 months of the operations.Conclusion The modified lateral crural reverse island skin flap with two sets of blood supply system is a good method for aged ankle & foot soft tissue defect.

Objective To observe the effects of Chinese medicine ingredient ginger phenol on expressions of IL-17 and IL-23 in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats;To investigate the role and mechanism of ginger phenol in CIA rats.Methods Forty female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:blank group, model control group, ginger phenol treatment group and tripterygium glucosides control group. After CIA was established in rats successfully, ginger phenol treatment group and tripterygium glycosides control group were treated with ginger phenol and tripterygium glycosides by gavage, while the control group and model control group were fed with the same amount of saline. Four weeks after the treatment, the rats were collected serum and sacrificed. The pathological of CIA joint synovial was observed by electron microscope. The expressions of IL-17 and IL-23 in serum were detected by ELISA.Results The hyperplasia of synovial tissue and angiogenesis was reduced in gingerol phenol treatment group. Infiltration of inflammatory cells and edema was improved. IL-17 and IL-23 expressions of in serum of CIA rats were significantly higher than those of the blank group (P<0.01). Ginger phenol and tripterygium glycosides down-regulated the expressions of IL-23 and IL-17 (P<0.05,P<0.01). Ginger phenol group was better than that of tripterygium glycosides control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Chinese medicine ingredient ginger phenol can reduce expressions IL-17 and IL-23 in serum of CIA rats.

Methods :
The normal control group and RA gene chip were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database . The R 4.3.0 WGCNA software package was used to integrate and analyze the dataset , identify co-expression modules and associated trait information , and screen key modules closely related to RA . LASSO regression a nalysis was performed using the glmnet package in R to identify characteristic genes for RA . The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of the characteristic genes in RA . The gene expression data of the normal control group and RA group were subjected to quantitative immune cell infiltration analysis using the GSVA , limma , and GSEABase packages in R.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors(MPNST) of the bladder is a very rare malignant tumor, usually secondary to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1), with a few sporadic cases. This paper reports a case of 70-year-old man with bladder MPNST who underwent transurethral resection. Adjuvant intravesical instillation with gemcitabine was given after surgery, and there was no local recurrence and distant metastasis after 12-month follow-up. This paper also made a corresponding literature review.

Objective :
To explore the causal relationship between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and iron deficiency a- nemia (IDA) in European population by two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis.
Methods :
The single nu- cleotide polymorphisms ( SNPs ) of RA and IDA were analyzed using public genome-wide association studies ( GWAS) .The inverse variance weighting method ( IVW) was used as the main analysis method to evaluate the causal effect of RA on IDA.MR-Egger method,weighted median method (WM) ,weighted model method and simple model method were used as regression supplements to evaluate the robustness of sensitivity analysis results.The het- erogeneity function was used to calculate the P-value to test the heterogeneity,and the intercept term intercept was used to test the level pleiotropy.
Results :
In the FINNGEN database at the genome-wide level,strong-related SNPs that removed linkage disequilibrium and met the P<5. 0 × 10 -8 by Mendelian randomization analysis were select- ed.After integrating exposure and outcome data,31 SNPs were obtained as the final effective instrumental variables. IVW showed that RA was a risk factor for IDA (the risk of IDA in RA patients was 1. 064 times higher than that in non-RA patients,OR = 1. 064,95% CI : 1. 028 -1. 103) .The weighted median method and MR-Egger method re- sults supported the positive correlation between RA and IDA.The intercept value was close to 0,indicating that there was no horizontal pleiotropy between exposure and outcome.The heterogeneity function' s P <0. 05 indicated that there was heterogeneity between exposure and outcome,but the random effect model test showed P<0. 05,indi- cating that even if there was heterogeneity in causality,the overall trend was stable.
Conclusion
RA is a risk factor for IDA,and there is a positive correlation between RA and IDA.
