Objective To evaluate the clinical presentation,pathologic features,diagnosis and treatment of hepatic angiomyohponm(HAML).Methods Retrospective analysis was made on 22 HAML cases in terms of clinical finding,images,pathologic examination and surgical treatment.Results Of the 22 patients,6 were male and 16 were female.The average age was 48.2 years.Seventeen patients had no clinical symptoms.None had the history of hepatitis virus infection.None of them was complicated with renal AML.None had tlle history of taking oral contraceptives in the sixteen female patients.Serum AFP、CEA、CA19-9、CA242 levels were all within normal limits.The correct diagnostic rate of BUS.CT and MRI was 2l%(4/19)、23.5%(4/17)and 25%(2/8),respectively.All tumorts were single nodule with a diameter of 4～17 cm,without complete capsula.All these 22 patients underwent tumor resection,including partial liver resection in 17 patients,left hemihepatectomy in 5.One patient died of postoperative complication,one patient suffered from temporary bile leak.The HMB45 positive rate by immunohistochemical method was 100%.Extramedullary hemopoiesis was found in 4 patients.Follow up of 6 months to 17 years in 91%(20/22)patients found no tumor recurrence. Conclusions HAML had no specifiC symptoms.The preoperative imaging diagnosis is difficult.Surgical resection is the therapy of choice for HAML.

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with low immunogenicity, can regulate cellular immunity and mitigate graft rejection, which has a good prospect in tissue engineering. However, it is rarely present in bone marrow. OBJECTIVE: To explore an isolation and culture method of the rabbit bone marrow-derived MSCs, to observe the biological characteristics and differentiation potential of bone marrow-derived MSCs.METHODS: MSCs were isolated from rabbit tibia bone marrow by combination of gradient centrifugation and different adherent method, then proliferation in vitro. Morphology was examined by phase contrast microscopy, and the growth curve of cultured MSCs was drawn via MTT results. MSCs were treated with osteogenetic inductor (L-DMEM/F12, 10% fetal bovine serum, 0.1 μmol/L dexamethasone, 200 μmol/L vitamin C, 10 mmol/L β-phosphoglycerol), adipose inductor (L-DMEM/F12, 10% FBS, 1 μmol/L dexamethasone, 200 μmol/L antifani, 0.5 mmol/L IBMX, 10 μg/mL insulin), and chondrocytes inductor (L-DMEM/F12, 10% FBS, 10 μg/L TGF-β1, 0.1 μmol/L dexamethasone, 50 μmol/L vitamin C, 6.25 mg/L insulin) to differentiated into osteoblast, dipocytes and chondrocytes. And the differentiated cells were identified by alkaline phosphatase staining, oil red O staining, and toluidine blue staining, respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Bone marrow-derived MSCs can be isolated and cultured by the combination of gradient centrifugation and different adherent method in vitro, which have the better potentiality of proliferation and multi-directional differentiation. Mostly of the primary and passaged cells were spindle-shaped. After osteogenetic induction, cells were positive to alkaline phosphatase staining. Oil red O staining showed that red lipid droplet existed in adipose cells, and toluidine blue staining showed that toluidine blue was positive after chondrocytes induction.

Objective:To summarise the effect of free perforator flap of radial collateral artery on reconstruction of first web contracture after hand injury.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted based on the clinical data of patients with first web contracture after hand injury in the Department of Hand and Foot Surgery and Rehabilitation, Guangdong Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital from November 2019 to June 2022. Ten patients, 8 males and 2 females aged between 27 and 51 years old with an average of 40.5 years old were included. There were 6 left hands and 4 right hands. Width and the included angle of first web were measured before surgery. Four hands were classified as severe first web contracture, and the rest of 6 hands had moderate first web contracture. After release scars of the first web, the areas of wound were 5.5 cm × 2.0 cm - 10.5 cm × 3.0 cm. The flaps sized were 6.0 cm×2.5 cm - 11.0 cm × 3.5 cm. All of flaps carried the posterior cutaneous nerve of forearm. Donor sites were closed directly. All patients were included in postoperative follow-up regularly through outpatient clinic or via WeChat reviews. The colour, texture, process in change of the transferred flaps, donor and recipient sites healing and complications were observed.Results:All 10 flaps survived and the wound healed by first intention. The patients received 7 to 15 months (10.5 months in average) of postoperative follow-up. The flaps were not bulky, texture and colour were satisfactory and without pigmentation. Protective sensations restored in 6 patients. At the last follow-up, average included angle of the first webs was 47.14°±1.68°, in comparison with 35.43°±3.60° before surgery. The average width of first webs was 5.34 cm±0.52 cm, in comparison with 3.17 cm±0.75 cm before surgery, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). Eight hands were rated excellent, and 2 were good. There were only linear scars left at the donor sites, without sign of radial nerve injury. Conclusion:The free perforator flap of radial collateral artery is a safe and effective method for repair of first web contracture after hand injury.
