OBJECTIVETo explore a new method for enlarging the rotation range of the nasolabial fold flap.
METHODSWe designed a retrograde nasolabial fold island flap pedicled with the upper lip artery for repairing facial defects. The anatomy of the upper lip and the vascular supply to the nasolabial skin were observed.
RESULTSAll the flaps in 7 cases survived completely with satisfactory results.
CONCLUSIONThe retrograde nasolabial fold island flap pedicled with the upper lip artery enlarged the rotating range of the nasolabial fold flap. The flap is recommendable for its consistent pedicle and abundant vascular supply.

OBJECTIVE:
To determine the expression and mechanism of osteoactivin (OA) in the kidney by establishing SD rat model of acute cyclosporine A (CsA) toxicity.
METHODS:
SD rats were fed with normal diet for a week, which they were then randomly divided into 3 groups: an experimental group (gavage with cycloporin A and olive oil), a vector group (gavage with olive oil), and a control group (gavage with normal saline). SD rats were killed 2 days, 1 week, or 2 weeks after the gavage to examine the serum creatinine (SCr) and body weight. HE staining was used to detect the kidney histopathological change. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the staining degree and area of OA. Western blot was used to detect the OA protein.The mRNA expressions of the OA, matrix metalloproteinase-13(MMP-13), and collagen type III(Col III) were examined by RT-PCR.
RESULTS:
The body weight and SCr of the rats in the experimental group 1 week and 2 days after the gavage had no significant difference compared with the vector group or the control group (P>0.05).On the end of 2nd week, the rats' body weight was significantly reduced, and SCr significantly increased compared with the vector group or the control group (P<0.001).The main histopathological changes in the experimental group were inflammatory cell infiltration, vacuolar degeneration of interstitial cells, or tubular epithelial cell necrosis. Intense OA expression located in the tubular epithelium and interstitial fibroblasts in the kidney of the experimental group was observed by immunohistochemistry. After CsA gavage, the relative mRNA expressions of OA, MMP-13, and Col III significantly increased with time. Western blot did not find the expression of OA protein in the control and the vector group, which increased with time in the experimental group.
CONCLUSION
OA expresses in the kidney of SD rats after acute CsA toxicity and mainly expresses in the tubular epithelial cells and renal interstitium. OA is more sensitive to the damage of kidney tissue caused by CsA than by SCr. The early-phase up-regulation of OA expression in the tubular epithelium in response to renal injury caused by acute CsA toxicity might play a key role in triggering the renal interstitial fibrosis via activating expression of MMPs and collagen remodeling in SD rats.

Objective To analyze the distribution of microorganisms in kidney perfusion fluid and perirenal drainage of the renal allografts,and provide evidence to guide clinical practice.Methods The clinical data from the kidney donors and the recipients,the microbiologic culture results of kidney perfusion fluid and perirenal drainage were retrospectively analyzed.Results Ninety-one kidney perfusion fluid samples and 91 perirenal drainage samples were collected from 61 individual renal allografts,and 48 renal allografts were paired.Fourteen (15.4%,14/91) cultured kidney perfusion fluid samples were positive,17 strains were confirmed including 13 strains of bacteria and 4 strains of fungal,and 9 (69.2%,9/13) of bacterial strains were multidrug-resistance with 7 strains resistant to carbapenems,but there was no significant heterogeneity in the outcome of recipients with positive or negative culture results of kidney perfusion fluid samples.Eight (8.8%,8/91) perirenal drainage samples from different recipients were positive,5 of 8 bacterial strains were multidrug-resistance and 3 of them were resistant to carbapenems including meropenem or imipenern.There was no significant correlation between the length of donors' hospital stay and the culture results (P>0.05),and there was also no significant correlation between the length of recipients' hospital stay after transplantation and the culture results (P>0.05).Conclusion The kidney with positive perfusion fluid microbiologic culture can be transplanted safely using the prophylaxis or preemptive anti-infection therapy.

OBJECTIVE:
To gain an insight into the transplantation with donor kidneys from extended criterion donation after cardiac death (DCD) and to improve the management during and after renal transplantation
METHODS:
Renal transplantation in 2 patients who used organs from small pediatric donors (<3 years) was performed. The graft kidneys were procured from 1 donor aged 11 months and the other 1 year and 7 months. The 2 donors were diagnosed as brain death caused by serious infantile hepatitis syndrome and severe craniocerebral injury, respectively. After the cardiac death, en bloc organ resection was performed. En bloc kidneys were transplanted to 2 adult recipients who were 37 and 41 years old, respectively.
RESULTS:
The recipients were followed-up for 6 months. Both of them developed large volume of bloody drainage in the early post-operational period and relieved after relevant treatment. The kidney grafts functioned well and no other surgical complications or acute rejections happened during the follow-up.
CONCLUSION
Based on modified peri-operative techniques, it is safe to perform renal transplantation with kidneys procured from cardiac death donors who are younger than 3 years old, an important source to increase the number of organs available for transplantation, yet the vascular complications require attention.

OBJECTIVE:
To better understand the pre-operation evaluation of donor kidneys from extended criteria donation after cardiac death and to improve the management during and after renal transplantation.
METHODS:
Both of the donor kidneys were from the donor who underwent liver transplantation 5 years ago in the Center of Organ Transplantation of Central South University. The donor was admitted because of liver function deterioration which led to hepatic coma, brain death, hepatorenal syndrome and cardiac death sequentially. Deceased donor score (DDS) and "zero point" kidney biopsy were applied to evaluate the donor kidney. After thorough examination of the donor and the renal function, renal transplantation was performed on 2 recipients.
RESULTS:
The recipients were followed up by 6 months, both of whom developed pulmonary infection and relieved after treatments. The kidney grafts functioned well and no surgical complication and no acute rejection occurred during the follow-up.
CONCLUSION
Proper evaluation of the donor organs ensures the safety of renal transplantation with kidneys from cardiac death donors who underwent liver transplantation, which is an important way to increase the number of organs for transplantation, yet the long-term effects need further observation.

With the development of photothermal nanomaterials, photothermal therapy based on near-infrared light excitation shows great potential for the bacterial infected wound treatment. At the same time, in order to improve the photothermal antibacterial effect of wound infection and reduce the damage of high temperature and heat to healthy tissue, the targeted bacteria strategy has been gradually applied in wound photothermal therapy. In this paper, several commonly used photothermal nanomaterials as well as their targeted bacterial strategies were introduced, and then their applications in photothermal antibacterial therapy, especially in bacterial infected wounds were described. Besides, the challenges of targeted photothermal antibacterial therapy in the wound healing application were analyzed, and the development of photothermal materials with targeted antibacterial property has prospected in order to provide a new idea for wound photothermal therapy.

Objective:
To evaluate the correlation between alcohol consumption and obesity in adults in China.
Methods:
The information about alcohol consumption were collected at the baseline survey of the China Kadoorie Biobank. The general obesity and central obesity were defined by BMI and waist circumference (WC) respectively. Logistic regression model was employed to examine the relationship of drinking behavior with general obesity and central obesity.
Results:
A total of 249 873 adults were included. A J-shaped relationship was observed between alcohol consumption and obesity measurement index (BMI and WC) in men. Compared with non-drinkers, the proportion of general obesity and central obesity were lower in light drinkers (men:
