Objective To identify the risk factors for positive resection residues after endoscopic submucosal dissection ( ESD ) of early esophageal squamous carcinomas and precancerous lesions. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 315 patients with early esophageal squamous cancer and precancerous lesion who underwent ESD. The pathological features of all resection margins in the specimen and the follow?up outcome of the patients with positive resection margin were evaluated. Univariate and multi?variate analysis were used to determine the risk factors for resection margin residues after ESD. Results In 315 lesions,there were 290 lesions with negative resection margins and 25 with positive resection margins.The number of lesions with positive lateral, basal, or both resection margins was 13, 8, and 4, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the depth of invasion( submucosal layer invasion, P=0?048) was the only independent risk factor for positive basal resection margin. The proportion of circumferential extension (≥3/4,P=0?014) and the depth of invasion( exceeding muscularis mucosa, P=0?007) were independent risk factors for positive lateral resection margin. Conclusion The diameter of the lesions and the depth of tumor invasion are independent risk factors for esophageal ESD positive resection margins. Accurate evaluation of lesion extension and invasive depth is critical to avoid residual or recurrent tumor after esophageal ESD.

Objective:To evaluate the application value of small IT knife pre-cut in assistance to duodenal papillary cannulation compared with conventional guidewire cannulation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 90 patients with choledocholithiasis including 52 patients with small IT knife pre-cut assisted intubation (small IT knife group) and 38 patients with conventional guidewire intubation (conventional group) in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) from May 2016 to July 2019 in the digestive endoscopy center of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital. The basic data, curative effect and complications of the two groups were collected and compared.Results:There was statistically significant difference in gender composition between the small IT knife group and the conventional group ( χ2=5.679, P=0.017), but no significant difference in other baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). The median intubation time of the small IT knife group was significantly shorter than that of the conventional group (141.5 s VS 270.0 s, Z=1 268.0, P=0.022). There were no significant differences in the success rate of intubation [98.1% (51/52) VS 94.7% (36/38), χ2=0.760, P=0.571], the incidence of intraoperative bleeding [15.4% (8/52) VS 7.9% (3/38), χ2=1.148, P=0.345], postoperative pancreatitis [5.8% (3/52) VS 7.9% (3/38), χ2=0.159, P=0.694], and postoperative cholangitis [1.9% (1/52) VS 5.3% (2/38), χ2=0.760, P=0.571] between the two groups. No perforation occurred in the two groups. After stratifying according to the operator′s proficiency, the median intubation time was significantly different between the small IT knife expert group and the conventional expert group (116.0 s VS 258.0 s, Z=276.0, P=0.038), while there was no significant difference in the intubation time among other groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The small IT knife is safe and effective to pre-cut and assist intubation in ERCP, and it may shorten the intubation time.

Objective To analysis causes of the serious complications after the operation of the lower leg perforator pedicle screw flap, and to explore the corresponding countermeasures. Methods From June, 2012 to Au-gust, 2016, 60 cases of soft tissue defect of ankle and foot were repaired with propeller flaps pedicled with perforator of lower legs. with the area were soft tissue defect ranged from 3.0 cm ×2.0 cm to 19.0 cm ×9.0 cm, and all with bone exposure. Two cases of traumatic tissue defect, 7 cases were chronic osteomyelitis of the distal tibia, 13 cases were in-cision infection and necrosis after the operation of ankle joint fracture and Pilon fracture, 10 cases were simple inci-sion necrosis after calcaneal fracture, 18 cases were calcaneal osteomyelitis, 1 case were soft tissue defect after the ankle tumor operation, 6 cases were soft tissue necrosis after the Achilles tendon rupture, and 3 cases were soft tissue defect of the dorsum with infection. The posterior tibial artery perforator pedicled propeller flap was used in 18 cases. The pedicle of the vascular pedicle was 6.0-18.0 cm from the medial malleolus, the flap rotation was 135 °-180° . There were 42 cases of the perforator pedicle propeller flap of the peroneal artery, 5.0-18.0 cm from the pedicle of the vascular pedicle and 120°-180° rotation in the flap. The area of the flap was 9.0 cm ×3.0 cm-34.0 cm ×18.0 cm. There were 32 cases of direct suture in the donor site and 28 cases of free skin grafting. Results The color, swelling, elasticity, capillary reaction and healing of donor site were observed after operation. There was no flap ischemia occurred in 60 patients. Fourteen cases had venous reflux obstruction, all of which had swelling above II degree, 8 cases had swelling above III degree with obvious purple blood stasis, resulting in partial flap necrosis in 4 cases, all necrosis in 1 case, including 4 cases of free skin grafting, 1 case of flap transplantation and repair. There were 3 cases of necrosis after skin grafting in the flap area, all of which were partial necrosis. There was case of necrosis of the wound surface after di-rect suture of the donor site and 1 case of skin disintegration after disassembly, and all wounds healed after the replace-ment of the wound and the external use of the dried blood powder. All the 60 patients were followed-up for 12 to 30 (mean, 24.5)months. The flaps survived and the donor site scars healed well. The range of motion of the ankle was from-10°to 10°(mean, 5.6 °) and the flexion of the plantar was from 20 °to 50 °(mean, 37.8 °). Fourteen patients with venous reflux disorder were followed up for 15 to 28(mean, 22.3)months. The flap and skin graft survived well. Ankle dorsiflexion ranged from-10° to 10 °(mean, 2.4 °) and plantar flexion from 20° to 45 °(mean, 35.6 °). There was no obvious limp in walking. Conclusion Although the overall effect of the lower leg perforator pedicle propeller flap to repair the soft tissue defect of the foot and ankle is satisfactory, there are still various serious complications, which are mainly due to ia-trogenic. Doctors should strictly follow the basic principles of skin flap surgery from preoperative to postoperative, and during operation and postoperative management, so as to reduce the incidence of complications.

To investigate the effect and application value of transplantation of the free cutaneous fibular flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone graft for the treatment of antibrachial chronic osteomyelitis of Cierny-Mader type IV. Methods From August, 2013 to May, 2017, 12 cases of ulna or (and) radius chronic osteomyelitis of Cierny-Mader type IV were treated by transplantation of the free cutaneous fibu-lar flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone graft. There were 7 males and 5 females, with an average age of 36.3 (21-47) years.Pure ulnar osteomyelitis in 7 cases, radius osteomyelitis in 4 cases, and both ul-nar and radius osteomyelitis in 1 case. The average range of osteomyelitis lesions was 6.3 (3.0-9.0) cm. The area of soft tissue defect (including bone scar) ranged from 8.0 cm×2.0 cm to 15.0 cm×5.0 cm. The area of the flap was 10.0 cm×3.5cm-17.0 cm×7.0 cm.The average length of the fibular flap was 8.8 (5.0-12.0) cm.Locking plate internal fixa-tion was used in 9 cases, external fixator in 2 cases, and plate combined with external fixator in 1 case. Vancomycin/gentamicin, an effective component of calcium sulfate artificial bone, averaged 0.64 g/102.7 kU (0.4 g/64 kU-1.0 g/160 kU).Routine postoperative treatment.And monthly outpatient review in the first half year after operation, and outpatient review every 3 months after half a year.One year after operation, comprehensive evaluation of elbow, forearm and wrist function with Mayo Elbow Function Index, Anderson Forearm Double Fracture Evaluation System and Cooney Wrist Function Score. Results Vascular crisis occurred in 1 case after operation, prompt surgical exploration, and ultimately all flaps survived completely.The donor sites healed well in all cases.The lower extremity functions of donor sites had no change compared with that before operation.Followed-up of an average of 22.7 months, there were 2 cases who had sen-sory disturbance in the ulnar nerve innervation area and returned to normal 3 months after operation. The fibular flaps healed satisfactorily with an average healing time of 4.7 (3-6) months.No calcium sulphate artificial bone granules were seen on X-ray at 3 months after operation.One year after operation, bone healing, forearm appearance and wrist function recovered well, but elbow and forearm motor function recovered unsatisfactorily. Conclusion On the basis of master-ing the applied anatomy and vascular anastomosis techniques of microsurgery, this method of transplantation of the free cutaneous fibular flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone graft for the treatment of an-tibrachial chronic osteomyelitis of Cierny-Mader type IV has achieved satisfactory results.The recipient area is beautiful. The bone healing is reliable.And it has little influence on the recipient area and the donor area.It is worthy of clinical application.
