OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical application of expanded flap based on cutaneous branch of transverse cervical artery for reconstruction of cervical cicatricial contracture.

METHODSBased on the clinical anatomy of cutaneous branch of transverse cervical artery flap, we design the corresponding subclavicular area for expansion. The incision was usually located at the anterior axillary fold, 5-8 cm in length. The expander was implanted under the deep fascial layer, without injury of the vascular pedicle. Fixation sutures were put about 1 cm apart from the incision to prevent the expander from transposition and exposure. After expansion, the cervical cicatricial contracture was excised and released. According to the defect, the expanded flap based on the cutaneous branch of transverse cervical artery was designed, with the pedicle located at the posterior margin of sternocleidomastoid and 1. 8 cm above median point of clavicle. "S" shape incision was made at the location of vascular pedicle. Subcutaneous dissection was performed 1.5 cm in width along the incision on both sides. Then the flap was harvested under the deep fascial layer and rotated to cover defect without tension. It was not necessary to dissect the vascular pedicle further. The defect at donor site was closed directly.

RESULTS17 cases were treated with the island flap. The contracture of the cervical scar was corrected completely with aesthetic appearance.

CONCLUSIONSExpanded flap based on cutaneous branch of transverse cervical artery has reliable blood supply. It' s an ideal flap for the treatment of cervical cicatricial contracture.

Finally the plasmid was extracted.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The recombinant vector was identified by sequencing and agarose gel electrophoresis.RESULTS: The sequencing revealed that insertion element was correctly cloned into the vector without nucleotide mutation, absence or insertion abnormality. The result of double enzyme digestion demonstrated that the fragment length was coincidence with expectation.CONCLUSION: The C_(57)BL mice survivin miRNA expression vector is successfully constructed.

Objective To explore the clinical features and possible carcinogenesis mechanism of the ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated colorectal cancer. Methods From 1984 to 2008, 6 clinical cases of UC-associated colorectal cancer were collected at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The characters of morbidity, clinical features, pathology type, treatment and prognosis were analyzed.Immunohistochemistry(IHC) was performed to study the protein expression of adenomatous polyposis coli protein(APC), β-catenin, P53 and Wnt-1 in the specimens. Results The canceration of UC was 1.1 %, higher in female cases (5/6), the average duration was 14.3 years. All cases presented typical UC manifestation, most involved total colon (5/6) and none of them complicated with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). There were 4 rectal cancers and 2 descending colon caners the UC cases collected. The major pathology type was adenocarcinoma with poor prognosis. The positive protein expression ratio of APC, β-catenin, P53 and Wnt-1 were 6/6, 6/6, 5/6 and 6/6 respectively.Conclusion The rectal cancer should be monitored and prevented in UC patients with total colon involved and long disease duration. Multi-pathway may possibly be involved in the carcinogenesis.

Objective To discuss the repairing methods of the wound after upper lip lesion excision.Methods The wound after upper lip lesion excision was repaired by expanded pedicled submental flap.The 3 cm-long incision was located in 1 cm to sub-mandible.The 100 ml expander was placed beneath the platysma,and the aqueducts and spigots of the expanders were laid out of the skin.After complete expansion,the spastic scars of the upper lip and nasal bottom were resolved,the nasal columella and upper lip were put back to the normal position.The pedicled submental flap was transferred to the wound after upperlip excision according to the size of the wound.The pedicle was severed after 3 weeks.Results There were 5 cases of the expanded pedicled submental flap to repair the wound after upper lip excision.The flap survived without complications.The appearances were satisfied by the patients.Conclusions The method of the expanded submental flap is suitable for the wound after upper lip excision.

Objective To investigate the treatment methods of tissue defects in nose and lower eyelid area.Methods Based on the impaired area,combined pre-expansion of forehead and facial region was adopted.The volume of soft tissue expander was determined.150-170 ml expander was implanted between frontalis muscle and periosteum of forehead,while at the facial region,and the volume of expander should be determined by the normal skin area as large as possible.The excision of impaired tissue was performed after sufficient expansion,and then skin flap or transposition skin flap were advanced at the facial region.At forehead,ortho-position skin flap based on supratrochlear vessels was designed for repairing the nose and palpebra inferior region.Three weeks later division of the ortho-position skin flap was carried out.With the flattened pedicle,the rest part of impaired area was replaced.Results Six cases were performed with this method.For all the cases,the survival rate of flap was 100％.Esthetic appearance and satisfying color-match were achieved,without appearance of lower eyelid ectropion.Conclusions Combined pre-expansion of forehead and facial region is an ideal method in treatment of the defects in nose and lower eyelid area.

ObjectiveTo summarize the clinical features of ulcerative eolitis (UC) complicated by toxic megacolon for early diagnosis and proper treatment. MethodsSix cases of toxic megacolon in the patients suffered from UC in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 1983 to 2010 were analyzed,and related literature was searched and reviewed.ResultsThe incidence of the toxic megacolon in the patients with UC in our center was 0.7％ (6/824),which was lower than those reported in the literature.There were always risk factors triggering the disease.The prognosis of the patients was poor,even after medical care and surgery intervention.Evaluation of the patients and making right timing to perform the surgery would improve the prognosis of the patients in foreign literature. ConclusionIt's crucial to make early diagnosis of the toxic megacolon in the patients suffered from UC. The right choice and timing to perform urgent surgery or selective surgery may improve their prognosis.
