Results A series of 56 patients were treated with this method. Satisfactory esthctical result of double eyelid fold and inner canthus shape was achieved. Conclusion This modified method including epicanthoplasty combined with same stage small incision blepharoplasty has the advantages of minimal scar formation, easy to design perform and in accordance with physiology.

Objective To investigate the influence of gene transfection antiangiogenesis on microvessel and relative cytokine of hypertrophic scar of rabbits' ear.Methods The hypertrophic scar of rabbtis' ear was reproduced.On the 10th day after epithelization,Ad-METH-1 was injected into tissue of scar.30 days later,the microvessel of scar-tissue was detected by microcirculation microscope.Meanwhile.H&E and immunohistochemical stains were performed.Then the results were analyzed.Results 30 days after Ad-METH-1 injection.in experimental groups,the microvascular count of scar tissue was 12.38±2.56,the percentage of VEGF positive cells was 17.64%,and the percentage of bFGF positive cell was 18.24%:while in the control groups,the microvascular count of scar tissue was 48.12±6.46.the percentage of VEGF positive cell was 31.34%.and the percentage of bFGF positive eell was 28.26%.Results revealed that the count of microvessel of scar tissue in the experimental groups was lower than that in the control groups,between which there was the difference in statistics(P＜0.01).and that the percentage of VEGF and bFGF positive cells of scar tissue in the expenmental groups were lower than that in the control groups.between which there was the difference in statistics(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ad-METH-1 has marked inhibitory effects on scar tissue hyperplasia of rabbits' ear,angiogenesis and expression of VEGF and bFGF.Using antiangiogenesis therapy at the early phase could inhibit the formation of hypertrophic scar.Gene transfection antiangiogenesis therapy could bid fair to become an effective method to prevent and treat hypertrophic scar.

The lateral canthus is the junction of the upper and lower eyelids, which is located at the temporal side. The distance from the lateral orbit rim to the lateral canthal angle is 5-7 mm. Cosmetic lateral canthoplasty, as an important surgical method for the rejuvenation of the eyes, was developed in recent year. Along with the development of anatomic study of the lateral canthus, the cosmetic lateral canthoplasty was modified and improved. The purpose of this review is to summarize the anatomy of the lateral canthus, indications for cosmetic lateral canthoplasty and surgical procedures, so as to provide a useful reference for clinicians.

Objective To discuss the clinical application of using trimmed latissimus dorsi free muscle flap together with skin grafting to resurface soft tissue defects on the dorsum of the foot. Methods From June 2005 to October 2011,eleven patients (8 males and 3 females,aged from 4-46 years) with large soft tissue defects of the foot dorsum were treated in our department. The size of the defects after debridement ranged from 5.0 cm × 6.0 cm-8.0 cm × 12.0 cm,all with exposed tendons or bones.Trimmed free latissimus dorsi muscular flap with split thickness skin grafting was used for reconstruction for all the 11 patients. Results All the flaps survived with no complications after surgery.During 3-10 months' follow-up,the appearance and walking function were satisfying, no further debulking procedures were needed. Conclusion Trimmed latissimus dorsi free flap with skin grafting is a good option for dorsal defect reconstruction.

Objective To explore the technique of massive facial scar revision. Methods All 12 patients in the group were treated with expanded deltopectoral skin flap. In the primary surgery, expander was implanted underneath deltopectoral flap region through an incision inferior to the clavi-cle. The skin perforators of transverse cervical artery and thoracoacromial artery were ligated during surgery, and the internal thoracic artery was carefully preserved. After the deltopectoral skin flap was fully expanded, the second surgery was performed and the facial scar was released and the normal ana-tomic position of eyes, nose and month was restored. The deltopectoral skin flap was planed according to the size of the defect. The excised facial scar was converted to the flap pedicle and a hinge-like con-nection was formed. The flap was delayed and three weeks after the second surgery, the pedicle was divided. The flap from the pedicle was applied for the mental region scar revision. Results Unilateral or bilateral dehopectoral skin flaps were employed for the repair of extensive facial scar in 12 patients. Satisfactory results were achieved in all these patients. Conclusion Expanded deltopectoral skin flap is a good technique for the repair of extensive facial scar.

With the technology development of cancer treatment, the survival rate of patients with cancer has been significantly improved. However, chemotherapy and radiation therapy may lead to premature ovarian failure and infertility in young women with cancer. Cryopreserved ovarian tissue auto-transplantation is an effective method to preserve fertility of such female patients. At present, the biggest challenge of this technique is mass loss of follicles after transplantation. In this article, the influencing factors and improvement methods of survival of cryopreserved ovarian tissue auto-transplantation were reviewed.

Objective To review the clinical features of the patients received massive transfusion (MT) in plastic surgery department.Methods Ten cases were reviewed.The reason of massive transfusion,the type and dosage of transfusion,the reaction of patients were included.For all the patients,consultation of related department preoperatively was necessary.Based on the through and detailed analysis of the patients' condition,necessary blood product should be prepared ahead of operation.During the therapy,adjustment of treatment plan was made from time to time,according to the patient's condition.Therefore efficient and prompt therapeutic result was achieved.Results In all the 10 MT cases suffered from acute blood loss,2 of them were in hemorrhagic shock before administration.Coagulation disorders happened in 2 patients,and recovered after appropriate treatment.RBC,which was 58.3％ of total amount of transfusion,used most commonly;the second was fresh frozen plasma (FFP),which was 38.6％ according to the total amount.All the patients had satisfactory recovery,without hemolysis or any other functional disorder.Conclusions For MT patients in the Department of Plastic Surgery,the main proposes are to restore and maintain an effective circulatory blood volume,while preventing the coagulation disorder.Also,detailed analysis,through consultation and timely adjustment are of great importance for the MT patients.It is also the essential of an effective perioperative management.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of one-stage thinning of latissimus dorsi muscle, rectus abdominis muscle and gracilis flap in reconstruction of the hand and foot defects. Methods: From June 2009 to April 2015, 24 free muscle flaps were thinned during transfer operation by removing their superficial muscle layers on the basis of their vessel pedicles running in the deep surface of flaps. The surface of the muscle flaps were covered by split-thickness skin grafts. There were 16 latissimus dorsi muscle flaps, 4 gracilis flaps and 4 rectus abdominis muscle flaps. Flap size ranged from 6 cm×4 cm to 20 cm×12 cm. Thinned muscle flaps were used to resurface 7 hand defects and 17 foot defects. Results: All muscle flaps survived the thinning procedures without any circulation problems except for one case which suffered total flap necrosis due to venous thrombosis. Skins grafts on muscle flaps also took well. One patient experienced partial skin loss. Two patients underwent secondary debridement and thinning procedure for infection and bulkiness. During the 0.3-20 months follow-up, the contour of thinned muscle flaps matched well with the recipient areas. Reconstructed feet are able to wear regular shoes. Conclusions Intraoperative immediate thinning of free muscle flaps can be safely accomplished during the primary reconstruction procedure. This procedure prevents the limitations of muscle flap bulkiness and may provide an alternative for surface coverage.
