Objective To develop a new method for correction of the deformity of the complete bilateral cleft lip with short pre-lip. Methods Two specimens with the complete bilateral cleft lip was chosen to investigate the arterial supply to the pre-lip. The arteries were observed by radiography when the specimen was infused with lead oxide. 16 patients with the complete bilateral cleft lip and shortage in the length of pre-lip were enrolled in this study. Taking advantage of the unique character of arterial supply of complete bilateral cleft lip, those with short pre-lip were corrected. Photos of them were taken when preand post-operation for further measurement. And more than 1 year following-up was conducted to judge if the results were good enough or not. 30 babies were chosen as a control group to confirm the results of surgury objectively. Results Post nasal septal arteries were found to supply the pre-lip of the bilateral complete cleft lip. Appearance of 16 patients was good after surgery or 1 years later. There was no statistical significant difference between the patients and control group in the measurement data but nasal-lip angle. Conclusion It is an effective way to correct deformity of the bilateral cleft lip with short pre-lip by taking advantage of post nasal septal arterie's flap.

Objective To investigate the roles of neuroinflammation and pathology of peripheral nervous system in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods Immunohistochemical staining was performed to examine the nodose ganglia (containing vagus nerve) and intestine of an autopsy case of PD.The neuroinflammation and morphological changes of vagus nerve and enteric nervous system were observed.Results The expressions and distributions of glial fibrillary acidic protein and ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1,two typical glia cell biomarkers,were different in vagus nerve and intestinal mucosa.Tumor necrosis factor α and inducible nitric oxide synthase were expressed in intestinal mucosa and myenteric plexus of the PD patient.There was a strong inflammatory reaction in the myenteric plexus,which distributed diffusely.Conclusion Satellite glial cells and intestinal inflammatory response may play a role in the pathogenesis of PD.
