Objective:To explore the clinical application of distal and proximal bilateral lateral pre-decompression in replant of digit degloving injury.Methods:From March 2012 to May 2021, 14 patients with 29 digits had replantation surgery of degloved soft tissue and severed digits in Section II, Department of Orthopaedics, Changzhou Medical District of 904th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistic Support Force. There were 2 types of injuries: degloving injury of soft tissue but with intact digital tip, and digital tip degloving injury with intact distal phalanx and nail bed. With the technique of distal and proximal bilateral lateral pre-decompression, pre-decompression incisions were made to the subdermal on both sides of the degloved skin over the proper palmar digital arteries. From where, the distal stump of the proper palmar digital arteries and nerves for anastomosis were found and had them anastomosed with the proximal proper palmar digital arteries and proper palmar digital nerves, then anastomosed digital pulp and digital dorsal veins (11 cases were direct anastomosis and 3 cases were bridged anastomosis). Follow-up was carried out by outpatient consultation, telephone and WeChat APP. The appearance of the digit body, the shape of digital pulp, the nails grow and the motions of the digits were observed, and the Evaluation Standard of Replantation of Severed Fingers by the Society of Hand surgery of Chinese Medical Association was used to evaluate the recovery of function.Results:All 29 segments of degloving digit survived. Small necrotic areas was found in 4 digits and healed after the change of dressing. The followed-up time was lasted for 3-36 months. There was no obvious atrophy found in all the digits. Appearances of digit pulp and nails were satisfactory with good sensational recovery for TPD at 6-10 mm, 7 mm in average. Motions of all the repaired digits were good. According to the Evaluation Standard of Replantation of Severed Fingers by the Society of Hand surgery of Chinese Medical Association, 23 digits were in excellent, 4 in good and 2 in poor, with a satisfactory rate at 93.1%.Conclusion:For a distal digit injury with intact distal soft tissue and relatively mild injury of blood vessels and nerves, using the method of distal and proximal bilateral lateral pre-decompression can help to achieve good appearance in survived digital pulp, good sensational recovery and good nail growth. An individualised treatment intra-and-after the surgery could offer an ideal therapeutic effect.

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics and risk factors of intracranial and extracranial aterial lesions in Chinese patients with ischemic stroke . Methods In this multi‐center study ,2 310 continuously inpatients with ischemic stroke diagnosed in 20 stroke screening and prevention project base hospitals from June 2015 to M ay 2016 were enrolled . Carotid ultrasonography and transcranial color‐coded sonography or transcranial Doppler were performed in all patients to confirm the presence of cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion . According to the distribution of lesions ,the subjects were divided into 2 groups :the simple intracranial artery stenosis group and the simple extracranial artery stenosis group . T he difference of risk factors between the two groups was compared . Results Of the 2 310 patients with ischemic stroke ,1 516 ( 65 .6% ) had simple intracranial artery stenosis and 794 ( 34 .4% ) had simple extracranial artery stenosis . T he incidence of anterior circulation artery stenosis was higher in the group of intracranial artery stenosis than that in the extracranial artery stenosis group ( 68 .1% vs 48 .7% , P <0 .001) . Posterior circulation artery stenosis and combined anterior with posterior circulation artery stenosis were more common in patients with extracranial artery stenosis group than those in intracranial artery stenosis group ( 36 .4% vs 22 .1% ,14 .9% vs 9 .8% ;all P <0 .001) . Univariate analysis of risk factors for stroke showed that patients with intracranial arterial stenosis had a higher prevelence of hypertension , diabetes ,obesity ,and family history of stroke ,and their systolic blood pressure ,diastolic blood pressure , body mass index ( BM I) ,fasting blood‐glucose ,glycosylated hemoglobin ,triacylglycerol ,total cholesterol , and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly higher than those in the extracranial arterial stenosis group ( all P < 0 .05 ) . T he proportion of elderly ( ≥ 65 years old ) ,male and smokers in the extracranial arterial stenosis group was significantly higher than that in the intracranial arterial stenosis group ( all P <0 .05) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elderly ( ≥65 years old) ,male , and smoking history were independent risk factors for extracranial arterial stenosis ( OR= 2 .012 ,1 .637 , 1 .325 ,respectively ;all P <0 .05) . While hypertension ,diabetes ,less physical activity ,and high BM I levels were independent risk factors for simple intracranial arterial disease ( OR = 1 .301 ,1 .252 ,1 .248 ,1 .030 , respectively ;all P <0 .05) . Conclusions There are significant differences in the distribution characteristics and risk factors of intracranial and extracranial aterial lesions in patients with ischemic stroke in China .

OBJECTIVETo study the history, clinical symptoms, imaging and histology of a rare distinct infantile hemangioma.
METHODS12 patients (5 female, 7 male; aged 18 months - 26 years) diagnosed as non-involuting congenital hemangioma were retrospectively analyzed. The history, imaging, histologic examination and the treatment were collected.
RESULTSMost of the patients had only one lesion which was round or ovoid, flat or plaque-like. The average size was about 5 cm x 6 cm. The overlying skin was usually had coarse telangiectasia with central or peripheral pallor. The skin has a high skin temperature. Magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography angiography and digital subtraction angiography findings were similar to those of common infantile hemangioma. Histologic examination revealed lobular collections of small, thin-walled vessels with a large, often stellate, central vessel. "Hobnailed" endothelial cells lined along the intralobular vessels. Small arteries were observed "shunting" directly into lobular vessels or into abnormal extralobular veins. All lesions were easily excised without recurrence.
CONCLUSIONSNon-involuting congenital hemangioma is a distinct infantile vascular tumor. It should be diagnose early and treated appropriately.

OBJECTIVETo study the changes of dietary pattern among adult residents in different areas of Liaoning province from 1989 to 2006.
METHODSHealthy adults (6213 subjects) at age of 18 - 65 years from 480 households in three cities (Shenyang, Yingkou, Wafangdian) and three counties (Qingyuan, Huanren, Chaoyang) were selected with stratified multiple cluster random sampling. The information on nutrient intake of the subjects were collected from datasets of Chinese Health and Nutrition Survey conducted in 1989, 1991, 1993, 2000, 2004, and 2006. Different food intake, the nutrients intake percentages for recommended nutrition intake (RNI) and appropriate intake (AI), and the percentages of total energy and protein from grain, animal product, bean and its product were calculated to assess the residents' dietary pattern and nutrition status. The changes of dietary pattern among adult residents were analyzed.
RESULTSAmong the residents, there were a 38.1% of decreased intake for grain (from 601.9 to 372.5 g/d), 20.5% for potato (from 75.6 to 60.1 g/d), 25.1% for beans (from 38.7 to 29.0 g/d), and a 77.2% of increased intake for fish and shrimp (from 25.0 to 44.3 g/d), 36.9% for livestock and poultry (from 65.6 to 89.8 g/d), 47.7% for fruit (from 70.7 to 104.4 g/d), and intake of milk product (from 5.8 to 21.3 g/d), egg (from 17.3 to 35.7 g/d), vegetable (from 296.1 to 316.3 g/d) were also increased from 1989 to 2006. During the period, the intake percentages of energy and protein from grain decreased from 67.5% (8.7 MJ/12.8 MJ per day) to 51.5% (5.0 MJ/9.6 MJ per day) and from 72.0% (66.2 g/91.9 g per day) to 59.7% (45.3 g/75.9 g per day), and on the contrary those from animal products increased from 8.9% (1.1 MJ/12.8 MJ per day) to 14.8 (1.4 MJ/9.6 MJ per day) and from 15.9% (14.6 g/91.9 g per day) to 27.9% (21.2 g/75.9 g per day), respectively. In 2006, the intake of vitamin A (508.9 µg/d) was 67.6% of it's RNI, intake of vitamin B(2) (0.9 mg/d) was 64.6% and the intake of calcium (453.7 mg/d) was 52.5% of it's AI among the residents.
CONCLUSIONThe intake of plant food decreased and that of animal food increased from 1989 to 2006 and the dietary intakes of calcium, vitamin A, vitamin B(2) need to be increased among adult population of Liaoning province.
