Objective:
To observe the effect of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) phosphorylation on type Ⅰ collagen mineralization and explore the role of small molecule compound ATP in biomimetic mineralization.
Methods:
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to analyze the phosphorylation of collagen molecules by different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100 mmol/L) of ATP. The concentration of 50 mmol/L ATP was chosen to construct the phosphorylated collagen mineralization model. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to observed the ultrastructure of mineralized collagen and the collagen mineralization rate was further calculated by ImageJ software. The surface morphology of the collagen gel ATP group and the control group was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the elemental analysis was performed by using an X-ray energy spectrometer. The artificial demineralized dentin samples were mineralized for 2 days and 4 days to compare the effect of ATP on dentin remineralization by SEM.
Results:
FT-IR analysis showed that the formation of new peaks at wavenumbers of 642, 818, and 902 cm-1 indicated that ATP can phosphorylate type Ⅰ collagen. Through TEM and SEM observation, the mineralization degree of type Ⅰ collagen and demineralized dentin pretreated with 50 mmol/L ATP were significantly higher than that of the control group. Compared with the control group [(31.65±1.62)%], the mineralization rate of collagen in the ATP group [(100±0)%] was significantly increased after 2 days of mineralization (

Gauze packing and drainage is a routine treatment for various types of fistula and sinus pressure ulcers. Because the external orifice of pressure ulcer or fistula is relatively small and the sinus deep, the conventional gauze packing has many drawbacks. Under the situation the operator is not skillful enough and no appropriate tools, it is necessary to pull the external orifice by tweezers to dilate the sinus and perform gauze packing and drainage, which brings great pain to patients, possibly leading to wound enlargement and delayed healing. At present, there is lack of auxiliary tools to improve gauze packing. Therefore, we developed and designed a gauze filler for packing and drainage of various kinds of fistula and sinus pressure ulcers, the device has the following advantages: good drainage effect, simple operation, low cost, safety and effectiveness. It not only improves the comfort of patients, reduces the number of dressing changes, reduce the number of dressing changes, shorten the hospitalization time and pay expense, but also reduces the burden of medical workers thus it is worthwhile to popularize and apply the newly designed gauze filler in clinical practice.

Hand hemangioma combined with aneurysm is rare and its specific clinical diagnosis and treatment method are not yet clear. In February 2021, a 49-year-old female patient with a right small finger hemangioma and aneurysm was diagnosed and treated in the Department of Hand and Foot, Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital. The patient was admitted to the hospital due to a tumor in the right little finger for 1 year. A low-echo mass with blood flow in the subcutaneous layer of the right little finger was detected on Doppler ultrasound and considered a hemangioma. Other laboratory tests and physical examinations showed no obvious abnormalities. The preoperative diagnosis was a right little finger mass (hemangioma). After completing the preoperative examination, we performed a resection of the hemangioma of the right little finger. Postoperative pathology showed that the mass located on the volar side of the right little finger was consistent with an aneurysm, and the one on the dorsal side of the right little finger was consistent with a venous aneurysm. After 2 years of follow-up, there was no recurrence of the lesion.

Objective:To introduce the therapeutic effect of forearm radial artery perforator propeller flap for repair of hand and wrist soft tissue defects.Methods:The clinical data of patients with soft tissue defects of hand and wrist who received the treatment with forearm radial artery perforator propeller flap in Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital from January 2018 to September 2020 were collected. The radial artery of the forearm was projected on the skin surface as the axis, and the nearest perforator was selected as the rotation point according to the location of the soft tissue defect. The radial artery perforator propeller flap was designed based on the location, area and shape of soft tissue defect. The length of the large paddle of the flap is equal to the distance between the proximal side of the wound edge and the rotation point plus the length of the wound, and the length of the small paddle of the flap is equal to the distance between the proximal side of the wound edge and the rotation point. The donor site was closed directly or with full-thickness skin graft from the ipsilateral upper arm. The survival, appearance of the flap and skin graft, hand and wrist function and patients satisfactory rate were observed and recorded.Results:A total of 6 patients were included, including 4 males and 2 females; the mean age was 40.5 years (range, 25-65 years ). There were 1 case on the palm side of the hand, 1 case on the dorsal side of the hand, 3 cases on the volar side of the wrist, and 1 case on the dorsal side of the wrist. The area of soft tissue defect after debridement was 2 cm × 3 cm-7 cm × 10 cm. The forearm radial artery perforator propeller flap ranged from 3 cm × 4 cm to 8 cm × 11 cm. The donor site was closed directly in 3 cases, and with full-thickness skin graft in 3 cases. The flaps in all 6 patients survived completely with primary healing. The skin grafts for the donor site in 3 cases survived completely. The patients were followed up for 3 months to 1 year, with an average of 5 months. The function of the hand and wrist recovered well. The texture of the flap was similar to that of the surrounding tissue with good appearance, no swelling or slight swelling, no obvious color difference. The donor site healed well without scar hyperplasia. The patients were satisfied with the surgical results.Conclusion:Propeller flap pedicled with forearm radial artery perforator is a simple and effective method to repair soft tissue defects of wrist and hand with reliable recovery of appearance and function. The patients’ satisfactory rate is also high.
