Objective To discuss the anatomy,manufacture,merit and demerit of dorsum pedis flap based on anatomic observation and comprehension using free dorsum pedis flap to repair the coloboma of oromaxillo-facial region soft tissue.Methods The courser and disposition of the skin blood vessel and nerve of dorsum of foot of 22 sides of adult cadaver lower limbs were dissected and observed under naked eye and operation microscope. 2 cases got troubled with oromaxillo-facial region malignant tumor,who were prepared 9.5 cm?7.5 cm and 8 cm?6 cm size of free dorsum pedis flap. The site of blood supply and recipient was anastomosed by blood vessel and nerve,and the coloboma of soft tissue was primary repaired after the operation of oromaxillo-facial region malignant tumor. Results Blood circulation of dorsum pedis flap was provided by dorsalis pedis artery,great saphenous vein and small saphenous vein,and fibular nerve was sensory nerve. During two years of follow-up visit,the two cases whose skin flaps were take were satisfactory with the reparation,and tumor recurrence did not take place. Conclusion The blood supply of free dorsum pedis flap is reliable,and it can become ideal skin flap to repair the soft tissue coloboma of oromaxillo-facial region.

[ ABSTRACT ] AIM: To investigate the molecular mechanisms of cytotoxicity induced by dihydroartemisinin ( DHA) in non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) cells.METHODS:NSCLC cell lines A549 and NCI-H1650 were treated with various concentrations of DHA for indicated time.Subsequently, the effects of DHA on the cell activity, colony forma-tion ability and apoptosis were determined by MTT assay, colony formation assay, Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and flow cy-tometry, respectively.At the same time, the effects of DHA on glucose, ATP and lactate levels were assessed, and the PI3K pathway activation and glucose transporter 2 ( GLUT2) expression were detected by Western blot in the A549 cells and NCI-H1650 cells.Overexpression of GLUT2 and Rheb was established in A549 and NCI-H1650 cells by transfection with GST-GLUT2 and GST-Rheb plasmids, respectively, and the effects of DHA on cell activity, apoptosis, glucose level, ATP content and PI3K pathway activation were analyzed in A549 cells and NCI-H1650 cells.The effect of glucose depriva-tion on the cytotoxicity triggered by DHA in NSCLC cells was also determined.RESULTS:Compared with control group, DHA significantly inhibited cell activity and colony formation ability, and induced remarkable cell apoptosis in the A549 cells and NCI-H1650 cells.At the same time, DHA reduced ATP and lactate contents, and hindered glucose uptake in a time-and dose-dependent manner in A549 cells and NCI-H1650 cells.The activity of PI3K pathway and GLUT2 expression were downregulated, while upregulated GLUT2 expression and activated PI3K pathway reduced the cytotoxicity induced by DHA in NSCLC cells.Glucose deprivation increased DHA-mediated cytotoxicity in NSCLC cells.On the contrary, high levels of glucose inhibited DHA-mediated cytotoxicity in NSCLC cells.CONCLUSION: DHA restrains cell activity and colony formation, and induces apoptosis.DHA induces cytotoxicity via inhibiting PI3K pathway activation and GLUT2 ex-pression, leading to inhibit glycolytic metabolism in NSCLC cells.

BACKGROUND:Cytochrome P450 ( CYP) epoxygenases metabolize arachidonic acids ( AA) to form epoxyeicosatrienoic acids
(EETs), which exert beneficial roles in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases , but little is known about its role on adventitial remo-deling.METHODS:We used C57BL/6J mice in vivo and primary rat adventitial fibroblasts ( AFs) in vitro treated with angiotensin II (Ang II) to investigate the effects of CYP2J2 gene delivery and exogenous EETs administration on adventitial remodeling .RESULTS:CYP/sEH system was found to exist in human adventitia , and involved in adventitial remodeling process .Exogenous EETs administra-tion significantly inhibited Ang II-induced AFs activation , characterized by differentiation , proliferation, migration, and collagen syn-thesis.These protective effects were partially reversed by PPARγantagonist GW9662 pretreatment or SOCS3 siRNA transfection.EETs suppressed Ang II-induced IκBαphosphorylation , subsequent NF-κB nuclear translocation via PPARγdependent signaling pathway in AFs.Additionally, EETs reduced Ang II-induced JAK2, STAT3 phosphorylation and subsequent phosphor-STAT3 nuclear transloca-tion, which were mediated by SOCS3 induction but independent of PPARγactivation.Furthermore, rAAV-CYP2J2 gene delivery re-duced vessel wall thickening , AFs differentiation , proliferation and collagen deposition in aortic adventitia induced by Ang II infusion , which were mediated by NF-κB and SOCS3/JAK/STAT signaling pathways in blood pressure-dependent and -independent manners , re-spectively.CONCLUSION:We concluded that CYP2J2 overexpression attenuated Ang II-induced adventitial remodeling via PPARγ-dependent NF-κB and PPARγ-independent SOCS 3/JAK/STAT inflammatory signaling pathways .

Objective:By comparing the positioning errors caused by 3D printed personalized breast bracket and common headrest in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), the fixation effect of 3D printed personalized breast bracket in IMRT was analyzed.Methods:Thirty-two breast cancer patients from January to July 2021 were randomly divided into a the 3D printed breast bracket group and common headrest group. All patients in two groups were kept in supine position, head tilted to the healthy side, the affected hand held the grip bar on the same side of the horizontal bar, the healthy hand held the opposite side of the vertical bar, and the chest and mandible were fixed with thermoplastic film. CBCT scan was performed weekly, and gray level registration was carried out according to the three registration regions of interest: breast or chest wall field, supraclavicular and inferior field, and axillary field. The positioning errors in the left and right, head and foot, abdomen and back directions were analyzed between two groups.Results:In the 3D printed breast bracket group, the positioning errors of breast or chest wall field, supraclavicular and inferior field and axillary field in the left and right, head and foot, abdomen and back directions were (1.75±1.26), (1.77±1.11) and (1.70±1.08) mm, (1.75±1.25), (1.72±1.09) and (1.70±1.05) mm,(1.86±1.34), (2.14±2.13) and (1.66±1.19) mm, respectively.In the common headrest group, the positioning errors of breast or chest wall field, supraclavicular and inferior field and axillary field in the left and right, the head and feet, the abdomen and back directions were (2.54±1.84), (2.73±3.62) and (2.18±2.45) mm, (3.25±2.02), (3.52±2.26) and (2.62±2.83) mm, (3.25±2.05), (4.44±2.90) and (3.10±3.18) mm, respectively.The positioning errors significantly differed between two groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The positioning error of 3D printed personalized breast bracket fixation is less than that of common headrest fixation. The positioning consistency of 3D printed personalized breast bracket in the three target areas of breast or chest wall field, supraclavicular and inferior field and axillary field is better than that of common headrest.
