Objective:To discuss the influence of intensive lipid-lowering therapy by atorvastatin on blood lipid and serum von Wille-brand factor ( vWF) and thrombomodulin ( TM) levels of patients with unstable angina pectoris. Methods: Totally 88 cases of patients with unstable angina pectoris were selected and divided into the intensive group (n=44) and the routine group (n=44) at random. The patients in the two groups were given routine medical treatment, such as nitrates, bayaspirin,β-blocker, low molecular heparin and etc. The patients in the routine group were orally given atorvastatin 20mg, qd, while the patients in the intensive group were given atorvastatin 40mg, qd with the treatment course of 8 weeks. The changes in serum vWF and TM levels in the two groups before and after the medical treatment were observed, and the occurrence rates of cardiac ischemia related events and untoward effect during the medical treatment were compared as well. Results:After the 8-week medical treatment, the levels of TC, TG and LDL-C in the two groups were obviously declined and the levels of HDL-C were obviously increased than those before the treatment (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), and the declining and increasing rates in the intensive group were much higher than those in the routine group (P<0. 05). The serum vWF and TM levels in the two groups were obviously declined than those before the treatment (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), and the declining rates in the intensive group were much higher than those in the routine group (P<0. 05). The occurrence rates of cardiac ischemia related events in the inten-sive group during the medical treatment were much lower than those in the routine group (P<0. 05). Respectively 4 and 6 cases of unto-ward effect appeared in the routine group and the intensive group during the medial treatment with light symptom, and the difference showed no obvious statistical significance (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Atorvastatin intensive lipid-lowering has favorable curative effect and security in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris, which can reduce the occurrence rates of cardiac ischemia related events, and the mechanism is related to reducing blood lipid and serum vWF and TM levels and improving the function of vascular endothelial cells.

Perforator flaps became popular in past 30 years due to the minimum donor site morbidity and good aesthetically contour. Limitations are found in the use of traditional perforator flap, such as limited surface area, unsuitable for repairing super-long wounds, extensive wound and wounds accompanying with dead space, etc. Special form of perforator flap is derived from the perforator flap. It overcomes the shortcomings of traditional perforator flaps, such as less donor-site morbidity, thinner flap, better patient satisfaction and without severe complications in the recipient area. In addition it further improves the clinical curative effect and enhances the value and the applications of perforator flaps. In this article, the historical development and evolution of special form perforator flaps are reviewed, and the clinical applications of the special form perforator flap in recent years are summarised, for the purpose to promote the application and development of special form perforator flap in the reconstruction of complex soft tissue defects.

Objective To explore the method of sensory reconstruction after the operation of reversed island pedicled sural flap and evaluate its therapeutic effect of clinical application. Methods Thirteen clinical cases with traumatic soft tissue defects in heel had recepted the treatment of reversed island pedicled sural flap. All flaps were innervated by anastomosing the distal end of the sural nerve in the flaps and the recipient nerve (superficial peroneal nerve) in end to end or end to side. All patients were evaluated at 9-15 months on the postoperative follow-up parameters, including flap contour, flap stability, locomotor activity,touch sensation, pain sensation, static two-point discrimination, thermal sensibility, and the skin sensory recovery level in lateral dorsutn of foot. Results Thirteen cases flaps had good blood supply and primary healing. All cases were followed up 9-15 months, the rate of good sensory recovery was 53.85%. All pa tients had protective sensory in lateral dorsum of foot, the rate of good sensory recovery was 61.54%. Conclusion Anastomosing the proximal end of sural nerve and superficial peroneal nerve together will be good for the sensory recovery in flap and lateral foot in repairing soft tissue defects in heel with reversed island pedicled sural flap.

Objective To investigate the effect of repairing soft tissue defects in the middle and distal phalanx with the reverse dorsal metacarpal and digital fasciocutaneous flap based on the dorsal cutaneous branches of the proper digital artery. Methods Twenty-five fingers with soft tissue defects in the middle and distal phalanx were repaired by the reverse dorsal metacarpal and digital fasciocutaneous flaps based on the dorsal cutaneous branches of the proper digital artery from June 2007 to June 2009. Their pivot points were located at the midpoint or distal segment of proximal phalanx. Results Among 25 flaps, 24 survived completely, but cuticular layer in the distal part of one flap was partially necrotic. Twenty flaps were followed up from 12 to 18 months after operation. All flaps were characterized by rich blood supply, cold-resistance, suitable thickness, soft texture and good colour, except that 6 flaps required a secondary operation because of their fat and clumsy pedicel. There was no adhesion of extensor tendon and contraction of interdigital web in the donor sites. Two-point discriminations of anastomosing cutaneous nerve ranged from 6 mm to 10 mm in 5 of the 20 flaps, and 8 mm to 14 mm in the other 15 flaps. Conclusion The dorsal metacarpal and digital fasciocutaneous flap based on the dorsal cutaneous branches of the proper digital artery is an ideal option for repairing soft tissue defects of middle and distal phalanx because of its advantages of easy and secure dissection, reliable blood supply, longer arch of rotation, being closer to the raw surface of finger, less injury to the donor site, good appearance, avoidance of sacrificing major arteries ,and high probability of reconstructing flap sensation by anastomosing cutaneous nerve.
