Objective To investigate the feasibility of urethral prefabrication with vaginal mucosa in female-to-male transsexuals and to compare the urologic complications after penile reconstruction in female-to-male transsexuals between prefabrication group and forearm group.Methods Prefabrication of the neourethra with tubed vaginal mucosal graft was performed for 22 female-to-male transsexual patients from 2007 to 2016,while radial forearm flap,known as the traditional tube-within-tube method,was used to construct the neourethra for other 31 cases.Results All of the reconstructed penises survived completely and allowed the patients to urinate while standing in the prefabrication group.Phalloplasty by using the vaginal mucosal graft for urethroplasty significantly decreased the donor scar,the duration of the second operation and the incidence rates of urologic strictures,comparing with the forearm group (P＜0.05).Conclusions It is reliable to use the prefabrication of the neourethra with tubed vaginal mucosal graft in phalloplasty female-to-male transsexual patients.

Objective To study the prognosis in preeclampsia fetal blood flow detection and perinatals analysis. Methods From July 2012 to July 2014,120 cases of pregnant women at 20 weeks of gestation conducted a retrospective studied in our hospital,were divided into the research group and the control group(n=60),the research group was preeclamp-sia fetus; The control group was normal pregnancy fetus. Two groups all used color doppler ultrasound instrument from 24 weeks-27 weeks+6,to 28 weeks-31 weeks+6,32 weeks to be tested before deliveryvenous catheter and umbili-cal vein,umbilical artery and middle cerebral artery blood flow parameters change,and perinatal prognosis were ana-lyzed. Results Both mild and severe pre-eclampsia fetal resistance index (RI), venous catheter before load index(PLL), peak flow velocity(PVIV), pulse index(PIV), intravenous catheter FenLiuLv(Qdv-venous catheter blood flow/Quv-umbil-ical venous blood flow) values were significantly higher than that of control group, the difference was statistical signifi-cant(P<0.01). The normal end of PLL, PVIV, PIV, S/A and Qdv aderse outcome/Quv values were lower than group, the difference was statistical significant (P<0.05). The team's weight and neonatal Apgar score were lower than the control group,the difference was not statistical significant(P>0.05);Two groups of umbilical vein between pH and umbilical arte-rial blood oxygen saturation had no obvious difference (P>0.05). Conclusion Preeclampsia fetal abnormal venous catheter and umbilical vein blood flow or waveform changes have a certain relationship with poor perinatal outcomes.

Objective: To report the method and effect of in situ suturing technique for severe amputation of facial composite tissues. Methods: We in situ sutured severely amputated composite tissues of facial region in 14 cases in emergency by vessels and nerves anastomosis from May 2004 to December 2017. Results: All replanted composite tissues survived in 13 cases. Edge necrosis of auricle occurred in 1 case because of serious contusion and it was cured after dressing changed. The color and appearance of the replanted composite tissues were close to normal after 3 to 48 months′ follow-up. Conclusions In situ suturing technique in emergency is the ideal treatment for severe amputation of composite tissues of facial region.

Objective:Clinical characteristics and diagnosis and treatment process was reported and analyzed of a patient with brucellosis complicated with thyroid abscess, providing reference for the clinical diagnosis of brucellosis complicated with thyroid abscess.Methods:Clinical medical records of a patient with brucellosis complicated with thyroid abscess who was treated at the General Surgery Department of Yanchi County People's Hospital in Wuzhong City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in November 2021 were collected. The clinical manifestations, blood routine, brucella antibodies, thyroid function, bacterial culture, thyroid ultrasound and other examination results, as well as the diagnosis and treatment process, were comprehensively analyzed. Results:The patient was a male, 61 years old, who presented with a neck mass without typical clinical manifestations of brucellosis. Thyroid ultrasound revealed a space occupying lesion, and the preliminary diagnosis was thyroid cystadenoma. Thyroid right lobe and isthmus resection surgery was performed. During the operation, it was found that some of the thyroid glands were tightly adhered to the cervical blood vessels, so the resection surgery was changed to abscess drainage, and the drainage fluid was purulent and bloody. The bacterial culture result of thyroid purulent fluid (intraoperative puncture fluid and postoperative drainage fluid) was brucella lamblia, and the serum brucella test tube agglutination test titer was 1 ∶ 400 (+++). The patient improved and was discharged after local drainage and anti brucella treatment. Follow up for 4 months showed no abnormalities. Conclusions:Brucellosis which begins with a local infection of the thyroid gland is extremely rare, with no characteristic clinical manifestations, and is prone to misdiagnosis. Timely correction of the surgical plan during the treatment process avoids the removal of the patient's thyroid, which has a certain clinical reference value.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of soft tissue defects around knee joints repaired with thigh distal perforator propeller flap.Methods:Clinical data of 72 patients with defects around knee joints from January, 2009 to October, 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, including 43 males and 29 females, aged from 17 to 83 years. The sizes of soft tissue defects ranged from 4.0 cm×3.0 cm to 22.0 cm×13.0 cm. Perforator propeller flaps were designed and harvested to repair the defects according to anatomical features of the origin, course, branches, distribution and anastomosis of vascular network of the perforator vessels and location as well as the size and shape of defects. Nine patients repaired with the lateral distal perforator propeller flaps (LDF), 53 with descending genicular artery perforator propeller flaps (DGF) and 10 with direct popliteal artery perforator propeller flaps (DPF). The size of flap was 4.5 cm×3.5 cm to 24.0 cm×14.0 cm. The donor sites were sutured directly or covered with free full-thickness skin. To evaluate the effect, the skin swelling rating in early and later stage were taken. Three to 72 months of followed-up was conducted through outpatient clinic (78%), telephone (15%) and WeChat (7%).Results:The flaps totally survived in 65 patients and 7 patients underwent partial necrosis at the distal end of the flaps ( 2 cases of LDF, 4 cases of DGF, 1 case of DPF) who were treated with dressing, and the donor sites were completely healed. The appearance and shape of the repaired knee joints was good, and the color and elasticity was close to surrounding normal skin, TPD of the flaps were 7-10 mm, and the scar was small after 3 to 72 months' follow-up. The efficacy was satisfactory in 48 cases ( 4 cases of LDF, 39 cases of DGF, 5 cases of DPF), general in 24 cases ( 5 cases of LDF, 14 cases of DGF, 5 cases of DPF). Degree of flap swelling: in early stage, I° in 40 cases ( 4 cases of LDF, 31 cases of DGF, 5 cases of DPF), II° in 20 cases ( 3 cases of LDF, 14 cases of DGF, 3 cases of DPF), III° in 10 cases ( 2 cases of LDF, 7 cases of DGF, 1 case of DPF), IV° in 2 cases(1 case of DGF, 1 case of DPF); in later stage: I° in 55 cases ( 6 cases of LDF, 41 cases of DGF, 8 cases of DPF), II° in 15 cases ( 2 cases of LDF, 12 cases of DGF, 1 case of DPF), III° in 2 cases ( 1 case of LDF, 1 case of DPF). The evaluation of knee joint function: excellent in 17 cases ( 2 cases of LDF, 12 cases of DGF, 3 cases of DPF), good in 35 cases( 4 cases of LDF, 27 cases of DGF, 4 cases of DPF), general in 20 cases( 3 cases of LDF, 14 cases of DGF, 3 cases of DPF). The good rate was about 73%. The range of motion and stability of the knee joint were basically normal and there was no pain found to affect study and life. All the patients were satisfied with the effect.Conclusion:Repairing soft tissue defect around knee joint with thigh distal perforator propeller flap is reliable and clinical applicable.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of 18F-fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) PET/CT hypoxia imaging in early response to heavy ion radiotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods:From April 2018 to January 2021, the 18F-FMISO PET/CT images of 23 NSCLC patients (19 males, 4 females; age (64.9±10.3) years) who received heavy ion radiotherapy in Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center were retrospectively analyzed. The evaluation parameters included tumor volume (TV), tumor to background ratio (TBR) before and after radiotherapy. Patients were divided into hypoxia group and non-hypoxia group with the baseline TBR value≥1.4 as hypoxia threshold. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare the differences of TV and TBR before and after radiotherapy in 2 groups. Results:Of 23 NSCLC patients, 17 were hypoxia and 6 were non-hypoxia. Compared with the baseline, TV after the radiotherapy (59.44(22.86, 99.43) and 33.78(8.68, 54.44) cm 3; z=-3.05, P=0.002) and TBR after the radiotherapy (2.25(2.09, 2.82) and 1.42(1.24, 1.67); z=-3.39, P=0.001) of the hypoxia group were significantly lower, while TV (16.19(6.74, 36.52) and 8.59(4.38, 25.47) cm 3; z=-1.57, P=0.120) and TBR (1.19(1.05, 1.27) and 1.10 (0.97, 1.14); z=-1.89, P=0.060) of the non-hypoxia group decreased with no significant differences. Conclusions:Hypoxic NSCLC tumors are sensitive to heavy ion radiation. Compared with non-hypoxic tumors, hypoxic tumors respond more quickly, and a significant reduction in TV can be observed early after radiotherapy. Heavy ion radiation can significantly improve tumor hypoxia.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Compound lizard powder reducing cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer by regulating glycolytic activity based on phosphoinositide 3-kinase（PI3K）/protein kinase B（Akt） signaling pathway. METHODS Human gastric cancer MKN45 and MKN45/DDP （cisplatin-resistant） cells were cultured in vitro and intervened with different mass concentrations of cisplatin （0.1， 0.2， 0.4， 0.8， 1.6， 3.2 μg/mL） to detect the survival rate， half inhibitory concentration （IC50） and drug resistance index. MKN45/DDP cells were inoculated subcutaneously in the right anterior axilla of nude mice to prepare a transplanted tumor model of gastric cancer. After successful modeling， they were randomly divided into model group， cisplatin group （0.002 g/kg）， Compound lizard powder group （2.8 g/kg） and combination group （the same dose as each single drug group）， with 8 nude mice in each group. Each administration group was given relevant solution， twice a week （cisplatin， i.p.） or twice a day （Compound lizard powder， i. g.）， for 4 consecutive weeks. During the experiment， the body weight of nude mice was monitored， and tumor volume and inhibitory rate of tumor were calculated. The levels of inflammatory factors （tumor necrosis factor- α， interleukin-6） in tumor tissue， the mRNA and protein expressions of multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 （MRP1）， P-glycoprotein （P-gp）， glucose transporter-1 （GLUT1） and lactate dehydrogenase A （LDHA）， as well as the protein expressions of PI3K， phosphorylated PI3K （p-PI3K）， Akt， phosphorylated Akt （p-Akt）， hexokinase-2 （HK2） and pyruvate kinase M2 （PKM2） were all detected. RESULTS With the intervention of different concentrations of cisplatin， the survival rate of MKN45/DDP-resistant cells was significantly higher than that of MKN45 parent cells （P＜0.05）. IC50 value of MKN45/DDP and MKN45 cells were（1.052 0±0.221 9） and （0.372 1±0.238 0）μg/mL， and the drug resistant index was 2.827. Compared with the model group， cisplatin group， Compound lizard powder group and combination group all had certain inhibitory effects on the tumor growth in nude mice； the inhibitory rates of tumor increased significantly （P＜0.05）； the levels of inflammatory factors， the mRNA and protein expressions of MRP1， P-gp， GLUT1 and LDHA （except for cisplatin group）， the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt protein （except for cisplatin group） as well as the protein expressions of HK2 and PKM2 were decreased significantly， while the combination group was significantly better than the cisplatin group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Compound lizard powder may inhibit tumor growth in transplanted tumor model nude mice with gastric cancer-resistant cells by reducing the secretion of tumor-related inflammatory factors， inhibiting the expression of glycolysis， drug resistance-related proteins and genes， inhibiting the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， thus having a certain effect of enhancing cisplatin efficacy and reversing drug resistance.

Objective: To explore the clinical effects of dorsal perforator fascia pedicle flap of the deep palmar arch in the repair of skin and soft tissue defects of finger web area. Methods: Eleven patients (7 males and 4 females, aged from 18 to 73 years) with soft tissue defects of finger web area in distal dorsal side were admitted to Xinhua Hospital (Chongming) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from October 2010 to September 2018. The sizes of skin and soft tissue defects ranged from 2.5 cm×1.5 cm to 6.0 cm×2.5 cm. According to the origin, course, branches, and distribution of the dorsal perforator of deep palmar arch, and the anatomical characteristics with vascular network of dorsal carpal and dorsal metacarpal, dorsal perforator fascia pedicle flaps of the deep palmar arch from the back of the injured hands were designed and transferred to repair the wounds of finger web area in distal dorsal side. The sizes of the flaps of patients ranged from 3.5 cm×2.0 cm to 6.5 cm×3.0 cm. The donor sites were sutured directly or covered with free forearm full-thickness skin graft. The clinical effects and swelling degree of flaps in early and late stages were evaluated during the follow-up of 3 to 36 months post surgery. Results: All the flaps survived in 11 patients, the incisions in donor and recipient sites were healed. During the follow-up of 3 to 36 months post surgery, the survival of flaps was good, and the appearance, color, and elasticity were close to normal skin, with two-point discrimination distance of 7 to 10 mm and sensory function recovery of grade S₃. The wounds in donor site had small scar without infection. The efficacy was evaluated as satisfactory in 8 patients, general in 3 patients, and dissatisfactory in no patient. Flap swelling rating in early stage was 1st degree in 7 patients, 2nd degree in 2 patients, and 3rd degree in 2 patients. Flap swelling rating in late stage was 1st degree in 8 patients, 2nd degree in 2 patients, and 3rd degree in 1 patient. The extension and flexion of the metacarpal and interphalangeal joints were basically normal and the patients were satisfied with the outcomes. Conclusions Based on the dorsal perforator of deep palmar arch, dorsal perforator fascia pedicle flap of the deep palmar arch is reliable to transfer to repair skin and soft tissue defects of finger web area in distal dorsal side, which is worthy of promotion in clinic.
