Objective:
To investigate the clinical application of repairing the large-area skin defect of legs with medial-lower-leg-flap with a healthy limb cross-leg bridging thoracic umbilical flap.
Methods:
16 cases with a large area of soft tissue defects caused by severe trauma were included in this study. The vascular pedicles of free thoracic umbilical flap were anastomosed with the opposite posterior tibial artery and vein, and the pedicle skin tubes were made and amputated 4 weeks after surgery.Observation of postoperative flap include survival situation, shape, color, elastic, scar contracture, and dysfunction.
Results:
16 cases of postoperative all flaps survived.In 1 case pain occurred 10 hours after the operation and led to arterial crisis, which was relieved with analgesia.There were no vascular crisis in other 15 eases. Followed up for 2-24 months, all the flaps survived with good color, elasticity and sensory recovery. There was no apparent stiffness in double knee and ankle joint.
Conclusions
For the injured limbs impossible to be repaired with local vascular pedicle, routine local transfer of skin flap or cross leg skin flap, the bridge cross anastomosis of free flap graft may be an ideal surgical treatment.

Objective: To isolate and identify the structures of triterpenoids from the extract of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus fruits. Methods:The chemical constituents were systematically isolated by column chromatography and liquid chromatography, and their struc-tures were determined by spectral data including 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, HSQC and HMBC combined with ESI-MS. Results:Totally 8 trit-erpenoids compounds were isolated and identified from Acanthopanax sessiliflorus fruits, 22-α-hydroxychiisanogenin (1), chiisanogenin (2), 3-oxo-24-methylenecycloartan (3), mangiferonic acid (4), isomangiferolic acid (5), oleanolic acid (6), betulin (7) and betulin-ic acid (8). Conclusion:Compound 3, 4 and 5 are obtained from Acanthopanax genus for the first time.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcome of the feasible method of the free string type dor salis pedis flap and anterior malleolus flap in the repairement of skin defects caused by penetrating wound of palm.Methods From May,2011 to January,2017,the anterior combined ankle flap of the ankle were used to repair skin defects of 16 cases who sutained penetrating wounds of palm.Results All 32 flaps in the 16 cases survived.Follow-up were done from 2 months to 2 years after operation.Bone healing was achieved in all cases.Two-point discrimination recovered to 6-8mm.Total active range of motion of the fingers reached 75 % of the normal side.Both appearance and texture of the flaps were good.Both the appearances of the repaired palms and the functional recovery were satisfactory.The function assessment of the hand was excellent in 8 cases,good in 5 cases,fine in 2 cases and poor in 1 case.The eligible rate was 81.25 %.Conclusion The anatomy of the dorsalis pedis flap and anterior malleolus flap is rare variant,which facilitate the dissection of the flaps during operation.The repairement of skin defects at two sides,both the palm and the back of hand,can be achieved via one operation.Therefore,the free string type dorsalis pedis flap and anterior malleolus flaps offer an ideal procedure to repair skin defects secondary to penetrating wound of palm.
