Objective:To explore the relationship among the supratrochlear and supraorbital neurovascular bundles and the corrugator muscle, in order to provide anatomical basis for eyebrow operations.Methods:From July to October 2019, the upper eyelids and forehead of 10 adult skull specimens (20 sides) were dissected layer by layer in the anatomy laboratory of Weifang Medical College. The line of bilateral inner canthus was taken as the X-axis and the facial midline as the Y-axis to establish the coordinate system. The coordinate parameters of supratrochlear nerve, supratrochlear artery, medial branch of supraorbital nerve, lateral branch of supraorbital nerve and supraorbital artery were measured to obtain the range of its trajectory, and their level and their adjacent relationship with the corrugator muscle were observed.Results:The corrugator muscle started from the upper part of the nasal process of the frontal bone near the medial margin of the orbit and was (4.32±0.98) mm from the midline. The base of the corrugator muscle start was (9.91±1.41) mm wide. The corrugator muscle run obliquely upward, through orbicularis oculi muscle and frontal muscle, and stopped at subcutaneous of the outer 1/3 of eyebrow. The trapezoid area was composed of the line of 15 mm above the inner canthus line, (16.58±1.70) mm and (16.17±1.42) mm from the facial midline as the lower base and the line of 30 mm above the inner canthus line, (13.74±1.54) mm and (14.21±2.42) mm from the facial midline, which was the dangerous area for the supratrochlear neurovascular bundles walking in corrugator muscle. The trapezoid area was composed of the line of 22.5 mm above the inner canthus line, (26.03±1.55) mm and (28.11±2.46) mm from the facial midline as the lower base and the line of 40 mm above the inner canthus line, (31.23±3.19) mm and (38.20±2.94) mm from the facial midline, which was the dangerous area for the supraorbital neurovascular bundles.Conclusions:Familiar with the relationship among the supratrochlear and supraorbital neurovascular bundle and the corrugator muscle can avoid dangerous areas and reduce superficial and deep neurovascular injury during operation.

Objective:
To explore the diagnostic values of FibroTouch and FibroScan for liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB).
Methods:
This study enrolled patients with CHB who was accepted liver biopsy at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University between March 2014 to December 2017. FibroTouch and FibroScan were performed among these patients at same time. Liver stiffness measurement(LSM), optimal cut-off value, receiver operating characteristic(ROC) were compared.
Results:
In our 103 patients, there were no significantly different between FibroTouch and FibroScan in LSM. The threshold of the optimal cut-off value for FibroTouch and FibroScan were 5.45 versus 5.55 kPa (≥S1), 7.10 versus 6.65 kPa (≥S2), 11.05 versus 9.20 kPa (≥S3), 15.50 versus 15.45 kPa (S4), respectively. The area under the ROC curve for the prediction of the stage1, stage2, stage2, stage 4 of liver fibrosis in these patients were 0.858 versus 0.765 (

Objective To analyze the characteristics of alcohol-related brain damage according to 18F-fluorodeoxy-glucose (18F-FDG) position emission tomography-computer tomography (PET-CT).Methods Excessive alcohol consumption patients accepted 18F-FDG PET-CT in our hospital from August 2016 to November 2018 were chosen as excessive alcohol consumption group and non-drinking patients accepted 18F-FDG PET-CT in our hospital at the same time were chosen as non-drinking group according to 1:4 ratio.The 18F-FDG PET-CT imaging data were analyzed;the characteristics of abnormal changed rate of CT sequences after stratification by age and the relations of alcohol consumption with abnormal CT sequences and PET sequences were compared between the two groups.Results A total of 52 patients with excessive alcohol consumption and 200 non-drinking patients were chosen.Among patients aged 45-59 years,the abnormal changed rate of CT sequences in the excessive alcohol consumption group was significantly higher than that in the non-drinking group (P<0.05).In the CT sequences,33 patients in the 2 groups presented abnormalities,mainly including cerebral atrophy and lacunar infarction.In the PET sequences,62 patients in the two groups presented abnormalities,mainly manifesting as reduced metabolism level of bilateral frontal and parietal lobes.Among the 52 patients from excessive alcohol consumption group,those with abnormal CT sequences were older,had longer drinking history and had higher total drinking amount than those with normal CT sequences,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).As compared with those in patients with normal PET sequences,those with abnormal PET sequences had higher weekly and total alcohol consumption,and longer drinking history,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Excessive alcohol consumption is an important risk factor for structural damages in middle-aged men,which can cause a decrease of glucose metabolism level in the frontal and parietal lobes.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of continuous intravenous injection of hyaluronidase (HAase) combined with urokinase (UK) in the treatment of ischemia of hyaluronic acid (HA) arterial embolized skin flap.Methods:(1)Establish an animal model of superficial abdominal artery embolization with HA: 24 SD rats were used to make a square island flap (2 cm×2 cm, the width of the pedicle is 2 mm) on the left and right sides of the abdominal white line with superficial epigastric artery as feeding artery. The left and right flaps of rats were used as experimental group and control group. After the preparation of the experimental skin flap, HA 10 μl was injected into the superficial abdominal artery, while the self-control flap was only made and the vessels were peeled off without embolization.(2)The rats were randomly divided into A, B, C and D groups by drawing lots with 6 rats in each group, After the successful establishment of embolic animal model of 45 min, HAase(2 000 IU/kg)+ UK(50 000 IU/kg), HAase(2 000 IU/kg), UK(50 000 IU/kg) and normal saline were continuously infused through caudal vein with microinjection pump. The volume of solution in each group was 6 ml in 12 minutes. The general condition of rats and the skin color, edema, congestion and skin necrosis in the operation area of rats were observed, which were photographed and compared immediately, and at 3 days, 5 days and 7 days after embolization. The images were analyzed by Photoshop software, and the percentage of survival area of the flap after operation 7 days, was measured by pixel method. The percentage of survival area was compared by single factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) and head-to-head comparison by LSD- t test. Results:Immediately after operation, all the flaps in the four groups were pale and there was no obvious swelling. All the flaps showed different degrees of swelling within 3 days after operation, and the swelling basically disappeared within 3-5 days after operation, and gradually changed from dark red ecchymosis to dark purple or black. Seven days after operation, the necrotic area flap gradually hardened and its boundary was obvious. The skin flaps of the 4 groups showed different degrees of necrosis. The postoperative reaction of the flap was the slightest in group A, the performance of group B and C was similar, which were both between group A and group D, and there was the heaviest postoperative reaction in group D. At 7 days after operation, the percentage of survival area of flaps in groups A, B, C and D was 90.30%±5.95%, 52.63%±6.90%, 51.14%±5.95% and 7.70%±2.18%, respectively. The percentage of survival area of skin flap in group A was significantly higher than that in groups B, C and D (analysis of ANOVA: P<0.01; LSD- t test: P<0.01). Conclusions:Continuous intravenous infusion of HAase combined with UK can effectively alleviate the flap ischemia caused by HA artery embolism, increase tissue perfusion and increase the survival area of the flap.
