Objective:To discuss the influence of intensive lipid-lowering therapy by atorvastatin on blood lipid and serum von Wille-brand factor ( vWF) and thrombomodulin ( TM) levels of patients with unstable angina pectoris. Methods: Totally 88 cases of patients with unstable angina pectoris were selected and divided into the intensive group (n=44) and the routine group (n=44) at random. The patients in the two groups were given routine medical treatment, such as nitrates, bayaspirin,β-blocker, low molecular heparin and etc. The patients in the routine group were orally given atorvastatin 20mg, qd, while the patients in the intensive group were given atorvastatin 40mg, qd with the treatment course of 8 weeks. The changes in serum vWF and TM levels in the two groups before and after the medical treatment were observed, and the occurrence rates of cardiac ischemia related events and untoward effect during the medical treatment were compared as well. Results:After the 8-week medical treatment, the levels of TC, TG and LDL-C in the two groups were obviously declined and the levels of HDL-C were obviously increased than those before the treatment (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), and the declining and increasing rates in the intensive group were much higher than those in the routine group (P<0. 05). The serum vWF and TM levels in the two groups were obviously declined than those before the treatment (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), and the declining rates in the intensive group were much higher than those in the routine group (P<0. 05). The occurrence rates of cardiac ischemia related events in the inten-sive group during the medical treatment were much lower than those in the routine group (P<0. 05). Respectively 4 and 6 cases of unto-ward effect appeared in the routine group and the intensive group during the medial treatment with light symptom, and the difference showed no obvious statistical significance (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Atorvastatin intensive lipid-lowering has favorable curative effect and security in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris, which can reduce the occurrence rates of cardiac ischemia related events, and the mechanism is related to reducing blood lipid and serum vWF and TM levels and improving the function of vascular endothelial cells.

Perforator flaps became popular in past 30 years due to the minimum donor site morbidity and good aesthetically contour. Limitations are found in the use of traditional perforator flap, such as limited surface area, unsuitable for repairing super-long wounds, extensive wound and wounds accompanying with dead space, etc. Special form of perforator flap is derived from the perforator flap. It overcomes the shortcomings of traditional perforator flaps, such as less donor-site morbidity, thinner flap, better patient satisfaction and without severe complications in the recipient area. In addition it further improves the clinical curative effect and enhances the value and the applications of perforator flaps. In this article, the historical development and evolution of special form perforator flaps are reviewed, and the clinical applications of the special form perforator flap in recent years are summarised, for the purpose to promote the application and development of special form perforator flap in the reconstruction of complex soft tissue defects.

Objective To explore the method of sensory reconstruction after the operation of reversed island pedicled sural flap and evaluate its therapeutic effect of clinical application. Methods Thirteen clinical cases with traumatic soft tissue defects in heel had recepted the treatment of reversed island pedicled sural flap. All flaps were innervated by anastomosing the distal end of the sural nerve in the flaps and the recipient nerve (superficial peroneal nerve) in end to end or end to side. All patients were evaluated at 9-15 months on the postoperative follow-up parameters, including flap contour, flap stability, locomotor activity,touch sensation, pain sensation, static two-point discrimination, thermal sensibility, and the skin sensory recovery level in lateral dorsutn of foot. Results Thirteen cases flaps had good blood supply and primary healing. All cases were followed up 9-15 months, the rate of good sensory recovery was 53.85%. All pa tients had protective sensory in lateral dorsum of foot, the rate of good sensory recovery was 61.54%. Conclusion Anastomosing the proximal end of sural nerve and superficial peroneal nerve together will be good for the sensory recovery in flap and lateral foot in repairing soft tissue defects in heel with reversed island pedicled sural flap.

Solitary fibroma often occurs in the pleura, but rarely outside the pleura. Extrapleural solitary fibroma has atypical clinical symptoms and difficult imaging diagnosis. Here, we report a case of solitary fibroma recurred and metastasized to the bladder after pelvic surgery. He was treated with palliative resection in our hospital. The patient died of systemic metastasis 3 years after operation.

Objective To investigate the change of dynamic expression of t-PA and PAI-1 during early venous crisis after free perforator flap transplantation.Methods Thirty healthy New Zealand white rabbits weighed 2.5-3.0 kg were chosen and randomly divided into experimental group (n =15) and control group (n =15).Free transplantation of superficial epigastric artery perforator flap (SEAPF) was implemented in all rabbits firstly.Then the model of venous crisis was established by ligating the anastomosis vein in order to interrupt venous blood outflow in experimental group.The blood supply of all flaps was monitored by observing their color,swelling degree and the filling reaction of the capillaries after operation.Peripheral blood was drawn from femoral artery at different time point for measuring the concentration of t-PA and PAI-1 by Elisa.Partial flap tissue was harvested for pathological examination at corresponding time point.Data analysis was performed by using SPSS 17.0 statistical software.P ＜ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results One rabbit died of anesthesia,and the venous congestion was observed in 1 rabbit in control group.The models of free transplantation of SEAPF and venous crisis were established successfully in the remaining rabbits.No significant appearance change was observed within 1 h after the outflow vein being ligated,while typical appearance of venous crisis could be observed 2 hours after the outflow vein being ligated.Compared with the control group,the concentration of t-PA was lower,but the concentration of PAI-1 was higher in experimental group at 2 hours,4 hours,6 hours,8 hours after the outflow vein being ligated(P ＜ 0.05).However,there was no obvious differences between two groups at other time points (P ＞ 0.05).The pathological examination showed the red cells gradually got together and adhered to the venous wall,eventually the microcirculation had been blocked completely and theflap became necrosis after venous crisis being occurred.Conclusion t-PA and PAI-1 can't be used to diagnose early venous crisis of perforator flap transplantation.

Objective To explore the treatment of multifocal lower extremity arteriosclerosis oblitera-tions. Methods From March 2014 to September 2014, combined procedures were performed on 30 lower limbs in 30 patients with multifocal lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterations for revascularization. All the patients underwent endovascular , 20 of whom received endarterectomy , 10 received artery emboloctomy , and 8 received profundaplasty. The rates of technical success and clinical success were observed. The patients were followed up for 6-12 months to observe the total patency rate and rate of limb reservation. Results The technical success rate was 100%. The perioperative complication rate was 30% (9/30). 29 limbs gained improvement with differ-ent degree and the clinical success rate was 96.67% (29/30). The ankle-brachial index elevated 0.37 ± 0.19 on average (P < 0.001). Primary patency rate was 90% and 73% at 6 and 12 months, and 12-month limb reserva-tion rate was 97.67%. Conclusions The combined procedures for complex lower extremity arteriosclerosis oblit-erations have a higher short- to mid-term patency rate and limb reservation rate.

Objective To explore the feasibility of building a new model of free superficial epigastric artery perforator flap with New Zealand white rabbits.Methods Twenty-five healthy New Zealand white rabbits were used.Five rabbits were dissected to assess the vascular territory,the source and dimension of the superficial epigastric.According to the anatomic results,the superficial epigastric artery perforator flap were designed and harvested with 6 cm× 3 cm in the abdominal,anastomosis had been done between femoral artery/vein and carotid artery,jugular venous to build an animal model of transplantation of epigastric artery perforator flap.The donor sites were directly closured.Results Superficial epigastric artery originated from the proximal femoral artery,and the diameter of superficial epigastric artery was (0.15 ±0.02) mm,2-3 perforators support the areas of the skin of the lower abdominal wall.A rabbit died in the surgery because of anesthesia,the other animals were alive.The results showed that all flaps were survived in the experiment except a flap lost due to venous crisis.Conclusion The experimental model of free superficial epigastric artery perforator flap can be built in New Zealand white rabbits.It is a simple,practical and reliable model for future physiologic and pharmacologic studies.

Objective To describe a technique to achieve primary donor-site closure, extend applications and minimize donor-site morbidity by applying the double skin paddle principle.Methods All 16 cases of the double skin paddle anterolateral thigh perforator flap reconstruction from May, 2008 to June, 2014 were reviewed.Defects locations included calf, dorsum pedis or planta pedis.A long anterolateral thigh perforator flap was marked out using standard points of reference.At least two separate cutaneous perforator vessles were identified on hand-held Doppler.Separating and dissecting flap at superficial layer of fascia lata was adopted in all cases.Then skin paddle was then divided between the two cutaneous perforators to give two separate paddles with a common vascular supply which was the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery.The skin paddles could be used to cover complex skin defects, whilst still allowing for primary donor-site closure.Results Fifteen patients were successfully treated with the double skin paddle anterolateral thigh perforator flap with no major complications.One case was suffered with partial skin flap necrosis.The type A dumbbell-like flaps was used to cover defects involving two different units of the foot.The type B pattern were stacked side by side on a flap inset, effectively doubling the width of the flap, to resurface a large defect of a single unit of the calf.The type C pattern was used to repair adjacent skin defects.In all cases, the donor site was closed directly.All patients were satisfied with their outcomes.Conclusion The double skin paddle anterolateral thigh perforator flap is an excellent method of resurfacing large defects of the extremity involving multiple subunits with improved morbidity and cosmesis of the donor site.

Objective To explore the feasibility and clinical effect of modified peroneal artery perforatorbased propeller flap which excludes small saphenous vein and sural nerve for coverage of the soft tissue defects of the ankle and foot.Methods From January,2009 to August,2013,20 patients with soft tissue defects of the foot or ankle underwent the procedures of reconstruction.After the proper perforators being identified with doppler sonography,the propeller flap was designed,which selected the location where terminal perforator vessels perforate deep fascia as the pivot point,the line from this point to the point where the second perforator near the wound around the line from the midpopliteal point to the midpoint of the achilles tendon and lateral malleolus perforated the deep facia as the axis.The flap was raised above the level of the deep fascia.The small extrinsic vessels around the sural nerve and small saphenous vein were contained in the flap,while the small saphenous vein and sural nerve were kept in the original position.The donor site was closed directly.The skin flaps measured from 7 cm × 4 cm to 21 cm × 7 cm.Results All 20 flaps survived completely without complications.During 10-28 months' followed-up (average 13 months),all flaps showed good texture matches and contour.All patients recovered walking and shoe wearing function.No one showed sensory disturbances at the lateral foot.Conclusion The modified peroneal artery perforator-based propeller flap excluding small saphenous vein and sural nerve still has stable blood supply,which is an idea way for covering skin and soft tissue defects in foot and ankle.
