One patient with chronic refractory wound in right lower leg was admitted to our department in June 2017, which experienced repeated ulceration for 4 years. On 4 days post admission, two bamboo sticks were taken out from the deep muscle of the right lower leg. The wound was repaired by perforator flap of posterior tibial artery in the right lower leg. The donor site was covered with split-thickness skin in the upper leg of the same side. On 7 days post operation, the flap and skin graft survived. During follow-up of 12 months, the flap had good appearance. This case suggests that the first thing for the treatment of chronic refractory wound is to find out the cause of wound.

Objective To investigate the application value of neutrophil count(N),neutrophil percentage(N%),neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and neutrophil to albumin ratio(NAR)in the evaluation of ul-cerative colitis(UC)patients.Methods A total of 87 UC patients admitted to the hospital from May 2022 to July 2023 were collected as the UC group,and 42 healthy people in the same hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.Blood routine and biochemical routine related inflammatory indicators in-cluding lymphocyte count(L),N,lymphocyte percentage(L%),N%,C-reactive protein(CRP),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),albumin(ALB)were collected,NLR and NAR were calculated.The clinical data of UC patients were collected.According to medical history,modified Mayo scoring system and Montreal classifi-cation criteria,UC patients were divided into clinical types,disease activity and lesion extent.The levels of N,N%,NLR and NAR in the control group and UC group and different subgroups of UC were evaluated.Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the four indexes and ESR and CRP.The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to test the diagnostic efficacy of the four indicators a-lone and in combination in the detection of UC patients,and the best cut-off value,sensitivity and specificity were calculated.Results The levels of N,N%,NLR and NAR in UC group were higher than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There were significant differences in N,N%,NLR and NAR levels between UC patients with different activity and lesion range(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that CRP level was positively correlated with N,N%,NLR and NAR in UC pa-tients(r=0.392,0.343,0.354,0.503,P<0.001).ESR level was positively correlated with N,NLR and NAR(r=0.383,0.233,0.475,P<0.05).The area under the curve of N,N%,NLR and NAR alone and in combi-nation were 0.668,0.702,0.723,0.741 and 0.882,respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of the combina-tion of the four were higher(80.5%and 88.1%,respectively).Conclusion N,N%,NLR and NAR have cer-tain clinical value in the diagnosis,disease activity and lesion extent prediction of UC patients.
