Objective To evaluate the cleanliness and tolerance of different administration speed on polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution (PEG-ES) for colonoscopy preparation. Methods 97 consecutive asymptomatic individuals underwent colonoscopy and therapy were enrolled and randomly assigned into 2 groups. Subjects in group A drank 2000 ml PEG-ES (1000 ml every 10 ~ 20 min rapidly) within 1 h before colonoscopy;Subjects in group B drank 2000 ml PEG-ES (250 ml every 10 min) within 2 h before colonoscopy. The total time of drinking PEG-ES, the first defecation time and total numbers of defecation after drinking PEG-ES, score and degree of Boston bowel preparation scale (BBPS) and PEG-ES related adverse effects of the two groups were assessed and compared. Results There were no significant differences in gender, age and cecal insertion rate between group A and group B (P > 0.05). The total time of drinking PEG-ES, the first defecation time in group A were significant faster than those in group B, while total numbers of defecation was significantly more than that in group B (P < 0.05). No patients in the two groups complained PEG-ES related bellyache and vomiting, a little subjects in group B complained PEG-ES related nausea and bloating (P < 0.05), but the incidence were both less than 10.00 %. Accepting rate of colonoscopy preparation in group A was lower than that in group B, but both more than 90.00%, while accepting rate of re-colonoscopy than that in group B. BBPS score of the right half colon, transverse colon, total colon were significantly higher in group A than that in group B respectively (P < 0.05), while that of the left colon no significant differences between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Both regimens met the requirement of conventional colonoscopy and therapy, while rapid drinking PEG-ES within 1 h provides more better colonic cleansing quality for colonoscopy preparation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of arterialised Flow-through venous flap with palmaris longus tendon in repairing dorsal digit composite tissue defect.Methods:From March, 2010 to December, 2018, 23 cases (23 digits) of dorsal digit composite tissue defect were repaired with arterialised Flow-through venous flap with palmaris longus tendon. There were 17 males and 6 females aged between 23 to 53 (average, 37.2) years old. Causes of injury: 15 cases of strangulation, 5 of electric plane and 3 of thermal crush. Number of injured digit were 1 thumb, 11 index fingers, 9 middle fingers and 2 ring fingers. All of the injured digits had skin and extensor tendon defects with an area of 2.0 cm×1.8 cm-4.2 cm×2.6 cm, and the length of extensor tendon defect was 1.6-2.6 cm. One case had terminal and central tendon insertion defects and 5 suffered with terminal tendon insertion defect. Three cases were repaired by emergency surgery, and 20 were repaired by sub-emergency surgery. All donor sites were directly sutured. The shape, colour, texture, sensation, recovery of digit function and donor site appearance were followed-up at outpatient clinic.Results:The patients were followed-up for 8 to 23 (average, 11) months. The flap was soft, with mild pigmentation and recovery of protective sensation. The range of motion of the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints was 145°-170° (average,162.6°). According to Strickland hand function evaluation method, the results were excellent.Conclusion:The arterialised Flow-through venous flap with palmaris longus tendon is an ideal method in repair of the dorsal digit composite tissue defect.
