Objective To study the feasibility and safety of trial of labor after cesarean section (TOLAC). Methods Retrospective analysis of five medical center of Guangdong province from January 2011 to December 2015 hospitalized delivery information, compare the same scar TOLAC (research group) with the scar pregnancy (control group) pregnancy outcomes, to study the feasibility and safety of TOLAC. Results (1)During 2011-2015, total delivery 95 600 cases in five medical center, 13 824 cases of thme with uterine scar pregnancy, including 12 027 cases elective repeat cesarean section and 1 797 cases (13.00%, 1 797/13 824) with scar uterus vaginal trial of labor. Among 1 308 cases of vaginal delivery,the success for trial of labor rate was 72.79% (1 308/1 797). From 2011 to 2015, there were increased rate of pregnancy after cesarean section, which were respectively 10.71%, 13.28%, 14.45%, 15.54%and 16.98%. The will of vaginal birth were rising and the rate were respectively 11.85%, 12.25%, 13.49%, 13.82%and 12.93%. (2) There were 489(27.21%,489/1 797) cases of scar uterus maternal emergency cesarean section in the trial of labor, reason for“social factors”require for cesarean delivery have 68 cases, the percentage was 13.91% (68/489), compared with control group (7.18%, 206/2 869), the difference was statistically significant difference (χ2=27.356,P=0.000). Doctors diagnosed as“aura uterine rupture”in the labor was 11.86% (58/489), compared with that in control group (1.43%, 41/2 869), the differences were statistically significant difference (χ2=1 578.223,P=0.000). (3) The incidence of uterine rupture of the research group(0.74%,9/1 211)was significantly higher than that of control group (0.01%,2/31 200;χ2>2 000,P=0.000). The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in research group was 6.94% (84/1 211), compared with that in the control group (3.05%, 951/31 200), there was statistically significant difference (χ2=16.328,P=0.000). While, there were no statistical significancefor the labor time limit,birth rate of severe asphyxia and neonatal birth weight average differences between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The rate of pregnancy after cesarean section is increasing year by year, and the will of vaginal birth is increasing, while it still are generally low. TOLAC is safe and feasible, but also significantly higher risk, strictly labor monitoring and can proceed fast cesarean delivery in delivery room is an important guarantee of safe delivery.

Objective:To explore the surgical method and therapeutic effect of repairing soft tissue defect of digit-tip with single subcutaneous pedicle V-Y advancing flap combined with skin grafting.Methods:From August 2013 to December 2020, 25 soft tissue defects of digit-tip were repaired by a single subcutaneous pedicle V-Y advancing flap combined with pedicle skin grafting. The area of the defects was 0.8 cm× 0.8 cm to 1.6 cm× 1.4 cm. The flaps were harvested from palm or lateral side of the wound and the area of flap was 0.5 cm×1.0 cm to 0.8 cm×2.5 cm. In order to make the flap transfer to a further distance, the subcutaneous fibre connection of the flap was cut-off during the operation. At the same time, cut off 1 side of subcutaneous pedicle. Finally, the advanced distance of the flap reached 0.5-1.2 cm. After the flap harvested, the medium thickness skin was removed for graft to close the donor site from the wrist striations. After the surgery, follow-up visits were conducted regularly by outpatient clinic, or via telephone or WeChat review or by home visit. Throughout the follow-up, the flap appearance, sensation and recovery of the function of digital joint were observed, together with the patient satisfaction. Results:After the surgery, the postoperative follow-up lasted for 4 months to 8 years. All 25 flaps and skin grafts were survived in first stage wound healing. The flaps and skin grafting areas had excellent texture. The fingerprint had been reconstructed with good appearance. The TPD was 4-9 mm, the functions of digital joint recovered well, and there was no complain about a discomfort at the donor site. According to the evaluation standard of Michigan hand function questionnaire, all 25 patients were very satisfied with the overall appearance and function of the hand. According to Total Angle of Motion (TAM) evaluation standard, finger mobility was excellent in all 25 patients.Conclusion:Subcutaneous V-Y advancing flap combined with skin grafting is an ideal method for repairing soft tissue defect of digit-tip. The surgery characterises a simple flap cutting, less traumatic damage, long advancing distance of flap and good repair effect.

Objective:To investigate the possible role of non-invasive fibrosis scoring systems for detecting high-risk plaque among patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:A total of 477 consecutive asymptomatic subjects underwent a health checkup including coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and abdominal ultrasonography. Fatty liver was evaluated using ultrasonography, and the NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS) was calculated. Coronary stenosis and plaque were evaluated using coronary CTA.Results:Of the study population, 223 had NAFLD. Among the NAFLD patients, high-risk coronary plaque was more frequent in patients with high or intermediate NFS than those with low NFS (62.5% versus 24.0%, P<0.001). The adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval of high-risk plaque was 3.24 (1.11-9.40) for the highest versus lowest quartile of NFS ( P=0.016). Among those without NAFLD, NFS was not associated with high-risk coronary plaque (C-statistic with NFS versus without NFS, 0.766 versus 0.764, P=0.715). Adding NFS to the traditional cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk model increased the C-statistics by 0.679 to 0.739 ( P=0.031). Conclusions:There was an independent association of NFS with high-risk coronary plaque in patients with NAFLD, suggesting its potential use to optimize management of patients with NAFLD.
