The blood supply of metatarsuses and pha-langeals in 30 cases of fetuses and infants was ob-served by microangiographic methods. The resultsdemonstrated that diaphyses and cartilages of bothends of metatarsuses and phalangeals gradually in-creased in the fetal period and appeared nourishingartery and cartilage canal. Both ends of metatar-suses and phalangeals gradually decrea.ed in the. infant period and cartilage canals gradually disap-peared also. These implied that the appearance ofcartilage canals was related to the size of cartilageblocks. Cartilage Canals were temporary bloodsystem of fetal cartilage. Characteristics of bloodsupply of metatarsuses and phalangeals: 1. Asym-metrical distribution of blood supply on metatar-suses and phalangeal, that is the blood supply ofepiphyseal end is richer than one of non--epiphy-seal end, is adapted with the difference of growthability at both ends. 2. There is distribution ofcartilage canals at the epiphyseal end of the distalphalanx, and it is adapted with having growth a-bility at the proximal end. These show that bloodsupply of metatarsuses and phalangeals is closelyrelated to their growth and development.

Objective To study the MRI findings of HE and the pathological mechanism and to improve the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of HE. Methods Five patients of HE diagnosed by clinical and laboratory examination were examined with conventional MRI scan. Additional DWI, MRA and enhancement MRI scan were performed on 3 patients in which abnormal findings was detected on the conventional MRI. The distribution of lesions and signal characteristics were analyzed. The ADC values of the lesions and of the contralateral non-lesion area were measured. Moreover, the possible pathological mechanisms of HE were discussed on the basis of changes of clinical and imaging manifestations in the two cases with serial clinical and MRI data. Results Of 5 patients, brain abnormalities were found in 3 cases,which showed scattered spotted supratentorial white matter lesions of isointensity on T1 WI and DWI, and high signal intensity on T2WI and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR). Meanwhile, multiple plaque-like lesions involving both white matter and gray matter were found, mainly located at the basal ganglia nuclei, hippocampus and cingulate cortex. The lesions demonstrated iso-or hypo-intensity on T1 WI,and iso-or hyper-intensity on T2 WI, FIAIR and DWI at the initial stage. No enhancement was found in these lesions and MRA disclosed no remarkable findings. The ADC value of the lesions [ (0. 449 ± 0. 092) ×10-3 mm2/s] was decreased significantly compared with the contralateral noninvolved area [ (0. 838 ±0. 062) × 10-3 mm2/s] at the early onset. In 2 cases with glucocorticoid therapy, together with symptom relief, MRI follow-up scan demonstrated the reduction of lesion volume, the signal change to hyperintensity on T1 WI and hypo-intensity on DWL The ADC of the lesions increased significantly. Conclusion The MRI could be one of the effective tools for diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and judging the prognosis and therapeutic results of HE. Meanwhile, it may be a non-invasive method to study the pathological mechanism of HE.

Objective To explore indications for replantation and amputation of complex severed lower legs. Methods Fifteen lower legs in 25 cases with complex severed lower limbs were replanted including four finally amputated again, and other 10 legs were amputated directly after trauma. Those with successful replantation were repaired with microsurgical technology and limb lengthening procedure for complications such as soft tissue defect, bone defect and limb shortening. The amputated cases were fitted with prosthetic limb after wound healing. Results All cases were followed-up for three to 10 years (6.4 years in average), and 11 lower legs were survived in 15 replanted cases and other four were finally amputated and fitted with prosthetic replacement. The limbs of those with successfully replantation shortened to varied extent, and one can be categorized as grade Ⅰ, four as grade Ⅱ, four as grade Ⅲ and two as grade Ⅳ, according to Chen's classification of function evaluation for replanted limbs. Appearance of prosthetic limbs in 14 cases had no significant difference from the normal, and 12 of them could walk with load and two had slight claudication. Those with prosthetic limbs were more satisfactory than those with replantation of the limbs. Conclusion Replantation for complex severed lower legs should be comprehensively considered based on mangled extremity severity score (MESS), their local condition and function prognosis.
