BACKGROUND: Random flap as a primary means of wound healing, is widely used at present, its blood circulation to establish the situation is also researched a lot, but not yet the system of random skin flap perfusion were observed and measured. In addition, the timing of pedicle division of a pedicle flap random is also a hot topic, but not yet a mature clinical testing method has been discovered to determine the best timing.OBJECTIVE: By means of laser Doppler blood perfusion imaging, this study was designed to dynamically observe random flap microcirculation, to understand the changes on random flap blood flow, and to determine the best timing of pedicle division. METHODS: A total of 18 cases were divided into traditional pedicle division group and early pedicle division group. Pedicle flap blood perfusion values were statistically measured immediately after surgery, at 3, 7,11,15, and 19 days after surgery, before division, immediately after division, and at 24 hours after pedicle division, 8-9 phases in total.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Distal blood perfusion value was increased with the time prolongation in both groups; while, the blood perfusion in various time phases was significantly different from that after surgery (P < 0.05); but, the blood perfusion was decreased immediately after surgery, which was still significantly compared with traditional pedicle division group (P< 0.05). There was no significant different in blood perfusion between early pedicle division and immediate after surgery of pedicle division (P > 0.05), but there was significant difference between 24 hours after pedicle division and immediate after surgery of pedicle division (P< 0.05). Blood perfusion values were less changed in both groups (P> 0.05). The ratio of both groups peaked before pedicle division and then gradually decreased after pedicle division. The best timing of pedicle division was the ratio of 1.2.

BACKGROUND: Pentoxifylline (PTX), as an effective drug to improve blood rheology, has been used as a vasodilator for the treatment of vascular diseases and peripheral vascular disease science 1960s. But the role of PTX on skin blood flow to improve flap survival remains still unclear. OBJECTIVE: Through the clinical application of PTX therapy, the dynamic observation of random flap to understand that the PTX can promote flap survival and improve blood circulation of flap. METHODS: A total of 39 patients (27 males and 12 females aging 7-54 years) with skin tissue defect undergoing random flap repairing were selected from Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, First Hospital of Hebei Medical University. The 39 cases were randomly divided into control group and drug group. Patients in the drug group were given intravenous injection of 250 mL PTX at day 2 after random flap operation, once a day, until 14 days after flap repairing surgery. On the first day after flap pedicle surgery, 250 mL PTX sodium chloride injection was intravenously given, once a day, until 7 days after flap pedicle surgery. The control group was not given PTX treatment. The value of blood perfusion (PU) was measured using laser-Doppler blood reperfusion image after flap transplantation, before and after pedicle division. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All 39 patients were completely cured and discharged, with no interruption experiments. Before pedicle division, PU value at distal flap in both drug and control groups were increased obviously, and the PU value in the drug group was significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05); after pedicle division, the PU value in the two groups were decreased, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Prior to pedicle division, the PU value of pedicle was gradually decreased and then increased in the drug group, and that in the control group was gradually increased. On the seventh day, the PU value of pedicle was stable in the drug group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P> 0.05); after pedicle division immediately, the PU values of pedicle were decreased in the two groups, and then the increase in the drug group was remarkable compared to control group (P < 0.05). Two sets of random flaps all survived, and skin defects were successfully repaired after pedicle division. PTX can markedly increase blood perfusion after random flap transplantation, promote flap survival and pedicle division in an early stage, and effectively shorten the healing time.

Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology 2018;27(6):607-611
Thymoma of non-surgical treatment or combined modality therapy must be considered in advanced or unresectable cases, which includes radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. The first choice of resectable advanced thymoma is surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy. For unresectable advanced thymoma, inducted therapy followed by surgery and adjuvant therapy is a rational pattern. But the best treatment mode is still unclear. We review the effect and prognosis about non-surgical treatment of thymoma recent years, to offer advice about making the best decision in the treatment of thymoma.

For the treatment of early non-small cell lung cancer, surgery is still one of the most important curative treatments. Lung segment or subsegment resection under video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is becoming more and more popular. With the development of radiotherapy technology, Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) has achieved the similar or the same curative effect as surgery. It has become an indisputable curative treatment for patients who can not or refuse surgery, and there are still some disputes among those who can operate. Therefore, this review will elaborate on these treatment methods in order to help update the concept and provide more treatment methods and obtain more benefits for patients. Although it is no randomized clinical trial to compare SBRT with surgery, we suggest that SBRT is the curative treatment for patients who can not or refuse surgery. Especially for the elderly, or patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, diabetes and other high-risks. SBRT should become the main treatment methods, because its curative effect is not inferior to surgery and its complications are fewer and lighter. Therefore, for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer in the early stage, it is more importent to choose individualized treatment methods so as to more benefit.
