6.Facial reconstruction with submental island flap.
Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons 1998;25(4):656-665
The basic criteria of facial reconstruction with the flap are consisted of easy and wide applicability, good color and texture matching to the face and reliable anatomical basis. On these points, the submental island flap is superior to other regional flaps such as tissue expansion technique and free flaps It is based on the submental vessels branching from the facial vessels located at the medial groove of submandibular gland. Its pedicle has a reliable course along the inferior border of mandible with a constant distance and its perforator(s) is (are) located at the submental area around the anterior belly of digastric muscle. We report on its use in 4 cases of facial resurfacing on the cheek, the preauricular area and the nose in arteriovenous malformation and malignant skin cancer patients. The mylohyoid and anterior belly of digastric muscles could be included within the flap and the reverse submental island flap was also useful for obtaining the wide rotation of arc. The mean follow-up period was 8.3 months and the results were satisfactory to the patients. The submental island flap is reliable flap for facial resurfacing because of its good color and texture, acceptable donor scars, and thin, flexible flap. The flap also can incorperate with the skin, the muscle, and the bone in case of complicated facial defects. The long vascular pedicle also enables a wide applicability of the flap And also it can be used as a free flap, expanded flap and reverse island flap for the facial resurfacing.

BACKGROUND: Alopecia areata is replete with data from studies using variuos therapeutic approaches, none of which is clearly superior to another. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of cryotherapy in alopecia areata. METHODS: Thirty three patents with AA(M:13, F:20) well conduted in this study, precluding 3 patients with the moderate and extensive lesions. Cryotherapy using a cotton swab dipped with liquid nitrogen was applied to the involved areas, repeated with 2 times of freeze thaw cycle of two seconds. In 13 cases of AA multiplex, the lesions were divided into two groups, each of which was undertaken cryotherapy and intralesional injection of triamcinolone(3mg/ml) for evaluation of their respeetive effects. The treatment was done weekly method of 1 to 11 times, Th therapeutic response was determined as the regrowth of terminal hairs on the treated area(s) at 12 Weeks. RESULTS: Of the 33 patients with AA, the overall responders were 22(66.7%). There seemed good response rates of 70.0 % in females, 71.4 % in AA multiplex and 72.2 % in third decade as well as 72.4 % in those with lower than 1 year of duration. The remarkable resionse had 3-4 times in treatment numbers. There were no untoward side effects in patients except mild erythema. In the 13 patients treated with both modalities, cryotherapy had a slightly higher esaonse than triamcinolone therapy (69.2% vs 61.5%, p>0.05 by x-test). CONCLUSION: The effect of cryotherapy therapy in AA patients is not less than the intralesional therapy of triamcinolone. In addition, cryotherapy may be recommendec as the new, safe therapeutic modality.

Sepsis refers to the systemic response to serious infection. Patients with sepsis usually manifest fever, tachycardia, tachypnea, leukocytosis, and a localized site of infection. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) is a gram-positive, nonmotile, aerobic, catalase- positive coccus, which is resistant to all the B -lactam antibiotics. Cutaneous manifestations in sepsis are maculopapules, nodules, petechiae, ecchymoses, purpurae, pustules, vesiculobullae, hemorrhagic bullae and ulcers. When MRSA is identified in blood cultures and skin tissue cultures, the skin lesions can be considered as cutaneous manifestations in sepsis caused by MRSA. We report two cases with erythematous pustules, petechiae, hemorrhagic bullae and maculopapules caused by MRSA sepsis. MRSA grew in blood cultures and skin tissue cultures.
