Objective To evaluate the outcomes of thumb reconstruction with dorsal thumb rotated single pedicel reverse island flap.Methods 49 thumb-tip defects cases with dorsal thumb rotated single pedicel reverse island flap were analyzed retrospectively.37 dorsal thumb reverse island flap were performed,and 12 ulnar-dorsal reverse island flaps were performed.Results The operation time was 40-60 minutes.The mean time was 45 minutes.All 49 cases survived completely.The color of the flaps was purple,and blisters in the surface of the flaps after 1-2 days in 2 cases.After took out stitches partly,the blisters were dried and crusted,the color of the flaps with better blood circulation was normal.The follow-up period was 3-24 months,all thumbs had satisfactory appearances and functions.The two-point discrimination was 6-9mm in flaps inosculated with nerve,that was 8-10 mm in flaps inosculated without nerve.The color,texture and elasticity of flaps were excellent,and the donor sites had not been defected.Conclusion Dorsal thumb rotated single pedicel reverse island flap is a reliable option to restore function as well as appearance,long vascular pedicle with skin strap,wide rotation angle,high rate of survival.It avoided damages to the well-known arteries and nerves.It is a relatively facile procedure that can be applied toward resurfacing thumb tip defects.

Objective To recognize the relationship between high cutantous artery branches and descending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery artery,and to investigate the blood supply of anterolateral thigh flap in clinical.Methods Retrospective analysis 152 cases of anterolateral thigh flap from November,2003 to December,2016.It contains cutting with descending branchs in 99 cases,cutting with lateral branchs in 43 cases,the union of them in 8 cases and high cutantous artery branches in 2 cases.Results The flaps survival in 147 cases,cutting necrosis in 3 cases and partly necrosis in 2 cases.Descending and lateral branchs were both dominance neurovascular bundle of vastus lateralis muscle,independently or commonly dominate the skin of anterolateral thigh,occurrence rate was 33.5％.Conclusion The descending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery include lateral branch,all of which are the neurovascular bundles,supply the anterolateral thigh muscle,and divid into some perforator branches crossing the musle to the anterolateral thigh skin subsequently,which constitute "the anatomical functional unit".High cutantous artery branche is the one of all of the branches,its origin lies hight and arise from lateral branch.

Objective:To observe the path and anatomic distribution of cutaneous branch of second dorsal metacarpal artery(SDMA) from the back of hand to the web of the fingers, and to explore the feasibility and clinical effect on the transfer of free flap of SDMA.Methods:Between June 2018 and September 2018, with perfusion of red latex, 22 hand specimens were dissected to explore the course, vessel calibre and distribution of cutaneous branches of SDMA, and to discover the existence of an innervation of cutaneous nerve in Department of Hand Surgery of Tangshan Second Hospital. Later on, from February 2019 to July 2020, 2 thumb pulp defects of 2 patients were reconstructed with the free flaps of SDMA. One defect was in the left thumb and the other in the right, both were male and compression injuries. Size of thumb pulp and a skin defect was at 3.5 cm×2.0 cm in 1 patient, and 2.0 cm×2.5 cm in the other. There was no neurovascular injury, but 1 patient had a distal phalangeal fracture and a nail bed laceration. The sizes of the flaps were 3.8 cm×2.3 cm and 2.8 cm×2.5 cm. Functional exercises started from 3 weeks after surgery. Patients attended postoperation follow up regularly by outpatient visit, telephone or internet interviews. Follow-up observations included the appearance, texture, sensory recovery of the flaps and thumb functions.Results:Multiple perforating branches (4-9 branches) were found from SDMA, which distributed in the distal 1/3 of SDMA in the anatomic study. It was found that the outer diameter of SDMA was 0.76 mm±0.25 mm at the intersection of extensor tendon of index finger and that of the digital web artery was 0.71 mm±0.12 mm. The length of digital web artery was 11.00 mm±1.27 mm. The 2 surgically transferred flaps were all survived. One patient showed the function of thumb in excellent with two-point discrimination (TPD) at 7.0 mm, at 18 months of follow-up. The other patient showed good thumb movement, soft and elastic skin of the flap and with a 7.5 mm in TPD, at 15 months of follow-up. According to the Evaluation Standard of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, the results of the 2 flaps were all excellent.Conclusion:The flap of SDMA has a constant cutaneous nerve and a long vascular pedicle with an ideal vessel size. It is suitable for free transfer and can be used to reconstruct soft tissue defects of thumb.

Objective:To compare postural reduction combined with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs).Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020,68 patients with OVCFs who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the Second Hospital of Tangshan Hebei Province were included in the observation study. A prospective randomized controlled study was used. The matched groups were divided into PVP combined group (adjust the overextension of the operating table by 20°-30°, if the posture reduction fails, pry the puncture needle on both sides in reverse according to the compression degree of the end plate before operation, and inject bone cement) and PKP group (do not adjust the operating table before operation, insert a balloon and expand on both sides after operation, and inject bone cement), with 34 cases in each group. The Cobb angle of the injured vertebrae was measured by taking the anterior and lateral X-ray film of the patient's lumbar spine before operation. The degree of pain and low back function were evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswetry disability index (ODI). The operation time and fluoroscopy times were recorded during the operation. On the second day after operation, the anterior and lateral X-ray of lumbar spine were taken to measure the Cobb angle of injured vertebrae. All patients were underwent computed tomography (CT) check the bone cement for leakage, record the VAS score, and record the ODI 3 months after operation to evaluate the patient's function. Follow up at the end of 12 months after operation to count the treatment cost and re-fracture of the patient. The data analysis and measurement data were compared by independent sample t-test between the two groups, paired sample t-test was used for intra-group comparison before and after operation. χ 2 test was used for counting data comparison between two groups. Results:All patients were followed up for 12 months. The operation time ((42.7±5.9) min), fluoroscopy times ((20.0±3.6) times) and treatment cost ((19 153±601) yuan) in the PVP combined group were better than those in the PKP Group ((67.4±7.3) min, (30.1±5.9) times, (27 496±669) yuan), and the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 15.39, 8.46, 54.12; all P<0.001). Cobb angle: Postoperative Cobb angle of injured vertebrae in the two groups (PVP combined group (10.7±4.5)°) and (PKP group (13.4±3.8)°) decreased compared with preoperative (PVP combined group (17.0±5.1)°) and (PKP group (16.7±5.1)°) ( t values were 10.61, 5.61; all P=0.001), and PVP combined group recovered better than PKP group, with statistically significant difference ( t=2.70, P=0.009). VAS score: Postoperative (PVP combined group (3.9±1.5) points) and (PKP group (4.1±1.6) points) was lower than preoperative the scores of (PVP combined group (6.9±1.1) points) and (PKP group (7.1±0.9) points), and the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 8.63, 8.88; all P=0.001). There was no significant difference in VAS scores between the two groups ( t=0.48, P=0.630). ODI scores: The scores of (PVP combined group (0.315±0.068)) and (PKP group (0.319±0.077)) after operation were lower than preoperative (PVP combined group (0.574±0.066), (PKP group (0.553±0.075)), and the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 18.54, 14.16, all P=0.001). There was no significant difference in ODI between the two groups ( t=0.25, P=0.803). There was no statistical significance in the two groups of postoperative bone cement leakage (χ 2=0.22, P=0.642). In PVP combined group, 1 case was re-fractured due to trauma, and there was no re-fracture in PKP group. Conclusion:Postural reduction combined with percutaneous needle prying reduction of PVP and PKP can alleviate the pain, improve the postoperative function and restore kyphosis in patients with OVCFs. Postural reduction combined with needle prying reduction of PVP has more advantages in operation time, radiation injury to doctors and patients, treatment cost, and the effect of correcting deformity is more significant.

Objective:To explore clinical results in reconstruction of finger C-shape soft tissue defect with the wrist crease free flap carrying cutaneous nerve.Methods:From June, 2017 to April, 2019, 7 fingers(7 patients) with C-shape defect were treated with the wrist crease free flap carrying cutaneous nerve. The size of defect ranged from 1.0 cm × 2.5 cm-2.2 cm × 4.0 cm; the flap sizes were 1.3 cm × 2.7 cm-2.5 cm × 4.5 cm. Five fingers had unilateral defect of proper palmar digital artery. Two fingers that had bilateral defect of proper palmar digital artery with poor blood circulation were re-established with blood supply by Flow-through flaps. Four fingers had unilateral defect of proper palmar digital nerves, and 3 had bilateral defect of proper palmar digital artery. Five of the fingers were repaired by the superficial branch of the radial nerve and 2 repaired by palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve. Regular outpatient follow-up was conducted after surgery for 8 to 15 (mean 11) months.Results:All the fingers and flaps survived with primary healing. Numbness existed in the areas of functional dominance of the cutaneous nerve. At the end of follow-up, the flaps showed good texture without significant bloated appearance with the recovery of protective sensation. The sensation of fingertip recovered to S 4 in 5 fingers and S 3+ in 2 fingers. Finger pulps were plump. All of the fingers moved freely. Linear scars were observed at donor sites and the wrists moved freely. Numbness feeling in the areas of cutaneous nerve disappeared at 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. According to the Functional Evaluation Criteria of the Finger Replantation published by the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association, the results were excellent in 6 fingers and good in 1 finger. Conclusion:The wrist crease free flap carrying cutaneous nerve is constant and can be dissected transversely to reconstruct and fit the C-shape defect of finger. It can re-establish the blood supply as well as to repair the proper palmar digital nerve defect at the same time.

Objective:To study the iodine nutritional status of pregnant women in the third trimester in the Southwest of Shandong Province, analyze its impact on their cardiac electrical activity, and provide a basis for scientific supplementation of iodine during pregnancy.Methods:From January 2021 to June 2022, a cross-sectional survey was conducted using cluster random sampling method. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 200 pregnant women in the third trimester were selected from 3 tertiary hospitals in three cities in the Southwest of Shandong Province, and were divided into the third trimester group ( n = 600), and 100 non-pregnant women were selected as the control group ( n = 300). The urinary iodine content was detected by arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry, and the pregnant women in the third trimester group were subdivided into iodine deficiency subgroup [G1 subgroup, median urinary iodine (MUIC) < 150 μg/L] based on the MUIC, iodine excess subgroup (G2 subgroup, MUIC≥500 μg/L) and moderate iodine subgroup (G3 subgroup, 150 μg/L≤MUIC < 500 μg/L). Chemiluminescence immunoassay was used to measure the serum levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT 4) and free triiodothyronine (FT 3). The cardiac electrical indexes were detected by a 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG) machine. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in urinary iodine levels between pregnant women in the third trimester group and non-pregnant women in the control group among the 3 tertiary hospitals in the Southwest of Shandong Province ( H = 3.63, 3.27, P > 0.05). In the third trimester group, the proportion of pregnant women in the G1, G2 and G3 subgroups was 27.67% (166/600), 6.83% (41/600) and 65.50% (393/600), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in urinary iodine levels between the subgroups and the control group ( H = 11.56, P < 0.001). The serum FT 3 and FT 4 levels in the G2 subgroup were lower than those in the G1 and G3 subgroups ( P < 0.001), but there was no statistically significant difference in serum TSH levels among the three subgroups ( P > 0.05). The normal rates of ECG in the G1, G2, G3 subgroups, and the control group were 38.55% (64/166), 41.46% (17/41), 92.37% (363/393), and 95.33% (286/300), respectively. The difference between the groups were statistically significant (χ 2 = 461.25, P < 0.001), the normal rate of ECG in the G1 and G2 subgroups was lower than that in the control group ( P < 0.001). Short P-R intervals and ST-T changes were the most common abnormal ECG in the third trimester group. Conclusions:The incidence of iodine deficiency, iodine excess, and other abnormal iodine nutritional status in pregnant women in the third trimester of the Southwest of Shandong Province is relatively high. Short P-R intervals, ST-T changes, and other arrhythmia caused by this are more common. It is necessary to strengthen monitoring of iodine nutritional status and ECG during pregnancy, and adjust intervention strategies such as iodine supplementation in a timely manner.
