Objective To explore serratus anterior muscle transplantation for the repair of soft tissue defects in foot and ankle. Methods Seventeen patients consisted of 11 males and 6 females aging from 13 to 58 years with the mean age of 35.2 years. The anatomical parameters of serratus anterior of 17 cases were measured, the thickness of the muscle was (1.24?0.65) cm, and the diameter of origin point of the nutrient artery to the muscle was (1.4?0.6) mm. There were two veins arising from the muscle, the diameter of larger one was (2.5?0.8) mm. The length of vascular pedicle was (8.31?1.48) cm. 17 patients with soft tissue defect of foot and ankle were treated with free serratus anterior muscle transfer and split skin graft overlying the muscle. The primary lesions were soft tissue defect around the ankle and Pilon fracture in 5 cases, non-union of distal tibial fracture in 3, Achilles tendon and soft tissue defect in 3, metatarsal fracture and soft tissue defect in 4, and calcaneal fracture with soft tissue defect in 2. All of the patients suffered from infection or exposure of bone or applied plate, the area of soft tissue defect ranged from 4.5 cm?6 cm to 11 cm?13 cm. Results The average operative time was (6.5?1.2) hours. The complications included local hematoma in 2 cases, superficial infection in 2, winged scapula without function loss in 1,scar pain in 2, and numbness of lateral thoracic wall in 1. Furthermore, weakness and decreased shoulder mobility were noted in 3 patients comparing with the contralateral side, but the condition improved half year following the operation. The transferred muscle flap appeared thinner and less bulky , and healed intimately with the adjacent foot tissue, the patients resumed good function in walking.

Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2000;0(11):-
AIM:To observe the effect of GDP on uncoupling proteins(UCPs) activity and the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation in hypoxic exposed rat brain mitochondria.METHODS: Adult SD rats were randomly divided into three groups (control, acute hypoxia and chronic hypoxia groups). The animals were placed into a hypobaric chamber simulated 5 000 m high altitude for 0, 3 and 30 d, respectively. The mitochondria from rat brain were isolated by centrifugation. The activity of UCPs was detected by the method of [H3]-GTP binding with UCPs specifically. The maximal binding content (Bmax) and the dissociation constant (Kd) were determined by Scatchard plot. The mitochondrial potential was measured by rhodamine 123 method. Oxidative respiratory consumption was measured by Clark electrode. The experiments were conducted under the conditions with or without GDP (1 mmol/L), respectively. RESULTS: For exposed to hypoxia, Bmax and the oxidative consumption of uncoupling respiration were increased. Kd, MMP and RCR were decreased. UCPs activity was inhibited by GDP in three groups. Kd was increased 61.01%, 83.13% and 71.52% and Bmax was decreased 23.18%, 35.20% and 33.38%, respectively. The values in the acute hypoxic group were changed markedly. The sensitivity of UCPs to GDP was elevated significantly by hypoxia. With the reducing of UCPs activity, oxidative consumption of uncoupling respiration was decreased whereas RCR and MMP were increased. The results elucidated increase in the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation.CONCLUSION: GDP increases the mitochondrial membrane potential and decreases the oxygen consumption of uncoupling respiration in hypoxic exposed rat brain mitochondria by inhibiting UCPs activity. The results suggest that the change in UCPs activity is one of the factors of mitochondrial dysfunction in oxidative phosphorylation induced by hypoxia.

ObjectiveTo evaluate intraoperative cholangiograhy during cholecystectomy for patients with preoperative benign gallbladder disease. Methods Unexpected biliary disease and anomaly found by intraoperative cholangiography in 904 cases of preoperatively diagnosed simple gallbladder stone and polypoid lesions were analyzed. Results Choledocholithiasis was found in 79 cases, anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ)in 21, gallbladder cystic duct variations in 28, right accessory hepatic duct in 4 . Conclusions Intraoperative cholangiograhy during the process of simple cholecystectomy helps to discover preoperatively mis-diagnosed choledocholithiasis, hence to avoid secondary exploration of common bile duct which is otherwise inevitable, it may also demonstrate the anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction and bile ductal anatomic variations.

Objective To study the effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ,cy-clooxygenase-2 ( COX-2 ) inhibitor Piroxicam on the growth of colorectal cancer cells and to evaluate the preventive significance from COX-2 expression and apoptosis. Methods The cell growth of colorectal adenocar-cinoma cell line SW1116 was measured by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay, and COX-2 protein expression by Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot. Apoptosis was characterized by DNA fragmentation. Results The results showed that COX-2 inhibitor Piroxicam could restrain the proliferation of SW1116, which had positively related to its concentration. Concentration higher than 1. 0mmol/L showed cytotoxic effects. The inhibition of COX-2 by Piroxicam appeared within 12 hours, but COX-2 protein level recovered within 24 hours, its expression had negatively related to the concentration of Piroxicam. Apoptosis was induced in SW1116 culture with Piroxicam higher than 0. 1mmol/L. Conclusion It can be concluded that cell inhibition effect is associated with Piroxicam-mediated cell apoptosis and inhibition of COX-2 protein expression in SW1116 cell, because the effects of Piroxicam have the concentration and time dependence, in further clinical research its dosage and time of medication should be considered in preventing or treating colorectal cancer.
