OBJECTIVETo study the influence of estradiol on histomorphology of skin flaps with ischemia reperfusion injury.
METHODS48 adult male Wistar rats aged 12-14 weeks old, were randomly divided into control group (group I), ischemia-reperfusion group (group II), saline group (group III), estradiol group (group IV). Superficial epigastric artery axial flap, 3 cm x 6 cm in size, was made in the left lower quadrant abdominal of each rat. Flap model with ischemia-reperfusion injury was established by using the nondestructive micro vascular clamp to clamp the superficial epigastric artery. The general condition of the flap was observed after operation. At 7 days after operation, the survival rate of the flap was detected, the flaps were harvested to receive histology and ultrastructural observation. The neutrophils level of the superficial epigastric vein were tested.
RESULTS7 days after operation, the survival rate of the flap in group IV was significantly higher than that in group II, III (P < 0.05). The neutrophils level in group IV was lower than that in group II, III (P < 0.05). The histological observation showed that the degree of tissue swelling and inflammatory exudation in group IV was more slight than that in group II, III. Presence of high neutrophils density were observed in group II, III, while slight inflammation and necrosis were observed in group IV. In group I, collagen fibers in flap are regularly arranged with no significant necrosis. Oganelles structure disappeared and apoptotic bodies were shown in group II and group III, even the lysosome could be seen in the cell. Collagen fibers in flap are regularly arranged with slight swelling and no obvious ultrastructural necrocytosis was seen in the cell of group IV.
CONCLUSIONThe estradiol can significantly increase flap survival rate by inhibiting neutrophils infiltration and improving the pathological changes of organization structure in flap.

Objective To investigate clinical effects of evaluating the reoeonstructiun of wounds in the thumb-nail donor site using tibial of the second toe in reducing and preventing complications related to this are. Methods Surface of the thumb-nail flap donor site was pestoperatively recovered using tibial flaps of the second toe for 8 patients; conjunct full-thickness dermotaplasthy was performed for the sites which could not be completely covered by flaps. Full-thickness flaps were used to repair the second-toe doner sites. Results All flaps in the thumb-nail donor sites of the 8 patients survived; partial necrosis of base in the second toe was seen in one case, and the wonds healed with change of dreeings. A follow-up study beyon d4 to 14 months revealed favorable texture, normal shape of flaps and complete healing of the graft area without formation of ulcer. Foot-walking functions were not exposed to significant impact. Conclusion It is a safely and reliably effective method to repair the thumb-nail donor sites using tibiai flaps of the second toe such that complications in the donor sites are minimized.

Objective To explore the new operation method and clinical effect of treating degloving injuries of the whole thumb.Methods Nine cases of the whole thumb degloving injury caused by machine were treated with free wrap-around flap from the big toe and the flap from the opposite foot.The phalanges,joints and tendons of all injured thumbs were integral relatively,except that the interphalangeal joints in 3 cases were destroyed and the flexor and extensor pollicis longus were ruptured.The size of the dorsal tissue defects varied from 4.8 cm × 2.9 cm to 6.2 cm × 3.4 cm,and the volar tissue defects ranged from 4.7 cm × 3.2 cm to 6.1 cm × 4.0 cm.The area of the wraparound flap from the big toe harvested was from 5.0 cm × 3.2 cm to 6.7 cm × 3.9 cm.The flap from the opposite foot was tibial flap with dorsalis pedis flap from the opposite second toe,and the area of the flap was from 5.0 cm × 3.5 cm to 6.6 cm × 4.5 cm.Results All 9 combined flaps survived.The wound healed primarily.Skin grafts in the donor sites of the foot also survived.Postoperative follow-up ranged from 6 to 20 months,with an everage of 9 months.The pulp of the thumb was well-stacked.Sensory recovery ranged from S3 to S3 +.Thumb nail grew well.Thumbs performed good functions as grabbing,grasping and nipping.The range of motion of the MP joints of the reconstructed thumb was normal.The motion of interphalangeal joints were acceptable in 6 cases,but worse than the normal thumb.The interphalangeal joint in 3 cases destroyed was fused.There was no obvious influence on the function of the foot.Conclusion Applying combined wrap-around flap from the big toe with the tibial flap and dorsalis pedis flap from the opposite foot in treating degloving injuries of the whole thumb is a new operation method,which could achieve good appearance and function,but have a small influence on the donor site.It is worthy being used widely in clinical.
