Objective To introduce the procedure and the clinical experience of two lengthened vascular pedicled flaps in hands to repair soft tissue defect distal to the middle segment of finger. Methods From June 2002 to April 2004, 6 cases with skin and soft tissue defect distal to the middle segment of index and middle finger were treated by the dorsal hand U-I shaped vascular pedicled island flaps, the large area of the repair flap was 5.0 cm?2.8 cm, and the small area was 3.8 cm?2.5 cm, an average of the pedicle length was 8.0 cm. 10 cases with skin and soft tissue defect beyond the middle segment of 2 to 4 finger were treated by the digital artery reversed island flaps of adjacent digit, the large area of the repair flap was 4.6 cm?2.5 cm, and the small area was 2.5 cm?2.4 cm, an average of the pedicle length was 4.0 cm. There were 11 males and 5 females, aged from 18 to 42 years (average, 26 years). Results All flaps survived in 16 cases. After 8 to 24 months postoperative follow-up, with an average of 15 months, the blood supply and texture of the flaps were excellent, their outer aspect and function were satisfactory. Among 4 cases of the dorsal hand U-I shaped vascular pedicled island flaps with connecting nerves, the two-point discrimination was 9 to 11 mm, while in 9 cases of the digital artery reversed island flaps with connecting nerves, the two-point discrimination was 6 to 8 mm. Of the 3 cases that the nerves were disconnected, the sensation of the healed flaps only recovered to S2 or S3. Conclusion The dorsal hand U-I shaped vascular pedicled island flaps and the digital artery reversed island flaps of adjacent digit can form a longer vascular pedicle, to repair the skin and soft tissue defect distal to the middle segment of finger. They are the reliable flaps with good blood supply, and can recover the sensation through connecting nerves.

To explore the stability of Shenkang injection respectively in five different solutions to choose the best com-patibility program and improve the rational drug use. Methods:The pH value, insoluble particles and the content of protocatechuic al-dehyde in Shenkang injection were determined after mixed with five solutions. Results:In the 6-hour mixing, the change order of proto-catechuic aldehyde content was 0. 9% sodium chloride injection> 5% fructose injection> 10% invert sugar injection > 5% dextrose injection> 10% glucose injection, especially in 0. 9% sodium chloride injection, the content was decreased by 20%. The number of insoluble particles was increased after the 2-hour mixing except in 10% invert sugar injection solution, and the increase in the four so-lutions was beyond the requirement in the 2010 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and the number of insoluble particles in 0. 9% sodi-um chloride injection was the highest with the fastest change. During the experimental process, the pH value was stable. Conclusion:The five solutions show influence on stability of Shenkang injection in varying degrees. Shenkang injection in 0. 9% sodium chloride in-jection is the least stable, which should be used with caution in clinics, while invert sugar injection and glucose injection can be the best choice for Shenkang injection and the mixed solution should be used up in 2h.
