Objective To explore the clinical effect of complete transposition of arteriovenous in free flap artery crisis. Methods From October, 2009 to April, 2017, 13 cases of extremities tissue defect were repaired with free flaps.The intractable arterial crisis appeared after transplantation.Repeated anastomosis vessels were adapted but it was not relieved. Then the complete transposition of arteriovenous was adapted in the flaps. Namely the vein of the flap was anastomosed with the arterial in the recipient site to reconstruct the blood supply, and the arterial of the flap was anastomosed with the vein in the recipient site to reconstruct recirculation.Ten cases of hand defect and 3 cases of crus defect were repaired by 5 low abdominal flaps and 8 anterolateral thigh flaps. The tissue defect area was 16 cm× 7 cm-6 cm×4 cm and the flap area was 18 cm×8 cm-7 cm×4 cm. Results Ten flaps survived completely, the other 3 flaps almost survived that scab healed in 1 case and skin grafted in 2 cases. The flap for skin color was from purple red to dark red, and finally close to normal, and skin flap edge would have different degrees of ecchymosis; the bleed-ing from the incision of the skin flap was from dark red to bright red; the swelling of the flap was obvious in the early stage and the later swelling subsided. All cases were followed-up from 6 months to 32 months with an average of 16 months.The wounds healed well.The flaps had a clear boundary and soft texture. Conclusion Complete transposi-tion of the arteriovenous system can be used as an alternative in the presence of intractable arterial crisis after free flap transplantation, to save the flap and to reduce the trauma to the patient.

Objective:To compare and analyze the effects of impulse oscillometry (IOS) and pulmonary function test (PFT) in the assessment of asthma control in children.Methods:A cross-sectional study of 323 children with bronchial asthma who visited the outpatient pediatric clinic of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from March to December 2020 was conducted.The patients were divided into the control group (123 cases) and the uncontrolled group (200 cases) according to the Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) score.In both groups, PFT and IOS were performed.The PFT test included the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1), force expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity (FEV 1/FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF), the instantaneous forced expiratory flow at 50% of forced vital capacity (FEF 50), the instantaneous forced expiratory flow at 75% of forced vital capacity (FEF 75), and maximum mid expiratory flow (MMEF). In the IOS test, the total respiratory impedance at 5 Hz (Z5), respiratory resistance at 5 Hz (R5), respiratory resistance at 20 Hz (R20), reactance at 5 Hz (X5), respiratory resistance at 5 Hz-respiratory resistance at 20 Hz (R5-R20), reactance area (AX), and resonance frequency (Fres) were measured.The data obtained were analyzed statistically using SPSS 25.0 software. ANOVA or Mann- Whitney U rank-sum test was used to compare data between groups.Receiver′s operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn to determine the predictive value of PFT and IOS parameters for uncontrolled asthma. Results:(1) According to the comparison results of PFT indexes between the two groups of children with asthma, the levels of FEV 1, FEV 1/FVC, PEF, FEF 50, FEF 75, MMEF in the control group were all higher than those in the uncontrolled group [(104.41±12.38)% vs.(98.89±16.61)%, 100.50 (94.40, 103.50)% vs.96.00 (89.83, 101.88)%, (100.29±15.31)% vs.(93.19±18.43)%, 85.60(70.60, 96.60)% vs.72.35 (57.08, 91.10)%, 67.20 (53.60, 81.70)% vs.56.80 (41.10, 74.73)%, 80.70 (66.80, 95.10)% vs.69.50 (54.03, 90.05)%] (all P<0.01). (2) According to the comparison results of IOS indices between the two groups, the levels of Z5, R5, R20, R5-R20, X5, AX and Fres in the control group were lower than those in the uncontrolled group {68.58 (63.29, 77.43)% vs.81.27(70.93, 91.96)%, 68.91(62.94, 77.60)% vs.80.61 (70.02, 89.29)%, 75.78 (67.50, 87.55)% vs.82.97 (71.50, 95.50)%, 0.51 (0.43, 0.59) [kPa/(L·S)] vs.0.62 (0.53, 0.74) [kPa/(L·S)], 69.31 (59.93, 79.14)% vs.86.48 (70.00, 102.48)%, 1.11 (0.76, 1.60) kPa/L vs.2.14 (1.42, 2.85) kPa/L, 18.21 (16.06, 19.56) Hz vs.20.56 (18.92, 22.81) Hz} (all P<0.01). (3) In the control group, 31 children (25.20%) had pulmonary dysfunction.(4) In the uncontrolled group, 95 children (47.50%) had pulmonary ventilation dysfunction.Only 20 children (10.00%) had a R5 larger than 120% of the predicted value and/or a R20 larger than 120% of the predicted value.(5) According to the ROC analysis results of the IOS indices for predicting asthma exacerbations, all of the areas under the ROC (AUC) of Z5, R5, R5-R20, X5, AX and Fres were greater than 0.7.AX had the highest value in predicting asthma exacerbations (AUC=0.785, 95% CI: 0.735-0.835), with sensitivity of 78.50% and specificity of 64.20%.All of the AUCs of PFT indices were smaller than 0.7.FEF 50 and MMEF had the largest AUC. Conclusions:PFT and IOS have good sensitivity in evaluating the level of asthma control in children, and IOS has good value in predicting asthma exacerbations.AX has the highest predictive value for asthma exacerbations.Asthma control levels of children should be evaluated using not only subjective (such as C-ACT score) but also objective (e.g.PFT, IOS) indices.

Objective:To explore significance of eosinophil and eosinophil/lymphocyte ratio(ELR)in predicting allergic asth-ma in children in different seasons.Methods:Retrospective analysis of children with asthma who visited pediatric respiratory depart-ment outpatient clinic and ward of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January 2021 to December 2021,whose allergen specific IgE(sIgE)and peripheral blood cell analysis were complete.sIgE≥0.35 kUA/L were included in allergic asthma group,sIgE<0.35 kUA/L and total allergen IgE<60 kUA/L were included in non-allergic asthma group.General data and changes in peripheral blood cells of two groups were analyzed.Results:There were 1 378 qualified subjeats,including 999(72.5%)in allergic asthma group and 379(27.5%)in non-allergic asthma group.Number of visits in allergic asthma group varied seasonally,with the most in autumn.Peripheral blood lymphocyte count(LYMPH),eosinophil count(EOS)and ELR were all higher in children with allergic asthma than in children with non-allergic asthma(P<0.05),and platelet/lymphocyte ratio(PLR)was lower than that in children with non-allergic asthma(P<0.05).Peripheral blood LYMPH,PLT,EOS and ELR of children with allergic asthma differed between four seasons,which were higher than those of non-allergic asthma in each season in EOS and ELR,LYMPH was significantly higher than that of children with non-allergic asthma in autumn,and PLT was significantly lower than that of children with non-allergic asthma in spring(P<0.05).EOS predicted AUC of spring,summer,autumn and winter were 0.79,0.77,0.71 and 0.64 in children with allergic asthma,and ELR predicted AUC were 0.72,0.48,0.73 and 0.68 in children with allergic asthma.Conclusion:Allergic asthma in children is seasonally variable and peaks in autumn.EOS and ELR in peripheral blood cells in children with allergic asthma are higher than in children with non-allergic asthma in each season of year,LYMPH is significantly higher than children with non-allergic asthma in the fall,and PLT is lower than in children with non-allergic asthma in spring,suggesting that allergic asthma type Ⅱinflammation persists,and EOS and ELR have predictive value for children's allergic asthma.
