Objective To explore the effect of reconstructing unilateral cleft lip by changing the arc-shaped incision, combined with the 3D reconstruction of upper lip muscles.Methods Twenty unilateral cleft lip patients were treated by using a new surgical operation, the 3D reconstruction of upper lip muscle, to restore normal anatomy and stress of the mucous membrane, muscle and skin.Operation scar was designed for straight line, located on the philtral ridges of the contour line;phitrum and philtral ridges were rebuilt, and postoperative scar reduced.Results A lot of 20 patients had no local infection, hemorrhage, complex crack, and were stage I incision healing.Followed up for 1-8 months postoperatively, the patient's lip bow line continuity was good, with symmetrical shape and good phitrum and philtral ridges;scar was hidden on the philtral ridges of the contour line, and no obvious upper lip scar contracture found through the follow-up period.Conclusions This improved method is simple in the incision design, and less scar hidden on the philtral ridges of the contour line after operation, which can maximize the recovery of the appearance of nose and upper lip with satisfactory effect.It is a feasible improvement method of repairing unilateral cleft lip.

Objective To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the diagnosis of ischemie-type biliary lesion (ITBL) after liver transplantation. Methods Twenty-five liver transplantation recipients suspected with biliary complications were examined using CEUS. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography confirmed the diagnosis. The enhancement patterns of the thickened hilum bile duct wall were observed. Results Enhancement patterns of bile duct wall could be divided into 3 sorts:① No-enhancement, six cases, showed no-enhancement all along. ②Hypo-enhancing level, four cases, presented hypo-enhancing at arterial phase and persistent hypo- or no-enhancing until late phase. ③Hyper-enhaneing level,fifteen cases,appeared as hyper- or iso-enhancing at arterial phase and persistent iso- or hypo-enhancing until late phase. The enhancement pattern of bile duct wall showed significant difference ( P = 0.00). Thirteen ITBL patients included 10 cases ( 76.9 % ) with no- or hypo-enhaneement, 3 patients (23.1 % ) with hyper-enhancement. However, all of 12 non-ITBL cases appeared hyper-enhancing. Conclusions CEUS provides a new and effective method to estimate the microcirculation of the bile duct wall. It may be help to early diagnosis of ITBL.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of microneedle combined with Lauromacrogol on skin capillary network.
METHODS24 male Leghone (1.5-2.0 kg in weight) were randomly divided into three groups as group A (microneedle combined with Lauromacrogol), B (microneedle combined with physiological saline) , and C(control). The cockscombs were treated. The specimens were taken on the 7th, 14th, 21th , and 28th day postoperatively. HE staining, immunohistochemical staining and special staining were performed for study of the number of capillary and collagen I/III , as well as elastic fibers.
RESULTSThe color of cockscombs in group A became lightening after treatment. The number of capillary decreased as showing by HE staining. The collagen I and III in group B was significantly different from that in group A and C (P < 0.05). Special staining showed proliferation of elastic fibers in group B.
CONCLUSIONSIt indicates that microneedle combined with Lauromacrogol could effectively reduce the capillary in cockscomb without any tissue fibrosis. Microneedle can stimulate the proliferation of elastic fiber, so as to improve the skin ageing process.
