T-wave alternans (TWA) refers to a phenomenon appearing in the surface electrocardiograph (ECG) as a consistent fluctuation in morphology and amplitude of the T wave on an "every-other-beat" basis. Correlation method (CM) has a certain ability to detect the non-stationary TWA, but it is very sensitive to noise. In this paper we propose a modified correlation method to ensure a stable and accurate detection of non-stationary TWA. Compared to the CM, the method modifies the judge condition and uses the linear fitting to limit the noise to gain the ability of detecting of non-stationary TWA. Our simulation and clinical data assessment study demonstrates the improved performance of the proposed algorithm.

Objective To investigate the effects of pantoprazole treatment in the prevention of gastric tumor bleeding in patients with unresectable gastric cancer. Methods This study was a prospective double-blind,randomized,placebo-controlled trial. From January 2014 to July 2015,patients with gastric tumor bleeding in Xuzhou Cancer Hospital were included in this study. 131 cases of unresectable gastric cancer were randomly divided into two groups. In the experimental group,66 cases were taken pantoprazole 40 mg,1 time / d,and 65 cases in the control group were given placebo 40 mg and 1 time/ d. The course of treatment was 8 weeks. The differences in tumor bleeding,blood transfusion requirements and overall survival time between the two groups were observed during the follow-up period. Results The median follow-up time was 6. 5 ( 3. 3, 13. 2 ) months. Seven cases ( 10. 61%) in pantoprazole group had tumor bleeding, and 13 ( 20%) in the placebo group. There was no significant difference in cumulative risk of tumor bleeding between the two groups (Gray's test: P = 0. 426) . However,in the first 5 months of follow-up,the cumulative incidence of tumor bleeding in pantoprazole group was 0,lower than that in placebo group (9. 23%) (6/ 65) (Gray's test: P = 0. 039). There was no significant difference in blood transfusion requirement and overall survival between the two groups. No drug-related adverse reactions and bleeding related deaths occurred during the follow-up period. Conclusion Pantoprazole can not significantly reduce tumor bleeding in patients with unresectable gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the relationship between OPRM1 118A/G gene polymorphism and oxycodone analgesic dose in patients with cancer pain.
METHODS:
DNA sequencing was used to detect the genotypies of OPRM1 118 A/G site in 203 patients with moderate and severe cancer pain, and to compare the relationship between the pain degree and the dose of oxycodone at 3 and 30 days after treatment in patients with different genotypes.
RESULTS:
The fequencies of AA, AG and GG genotypes at the OPRM1 118 A/G site were 34.78%, 52.70%, and 12.52%, respectively. The dosage of oxycodone in GG genotype was significantly higher than that in AA genotype and AG genotype (15.44±10.19 vs. 10.25±4.53, 10.49±5.26; 89.15±27.69 vs. 43.59±12.19, 48.27±18.79) on the 3 and 30 day after treatment, difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05).
CONCLUSION
For cancer pain patients with GG genotype of OPRM1 118A/G site, if they need to achieve the same analgesic effect as patients with AA and AG genotype, the dose of oxycodone should be increased.

Objective:To investigate the effect of immediate breast reconstruction with a deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap (DIEPF) after the modified radical mastectomy with nipple and areola preservation for breast cancer.Methods:Clinical data from November 2021 to March 2023 of 14 patients with ages from 29 to 49 (mean 40) years old were retrospectively analysed. All the patients received nipple-areola complex-preserving modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer followed by breast reconstruction with DIEPF at the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University. Three patients had left breast cancer and 11 had right breast cancer. Preoperative CTA was used to clarify the course and branching of the deep inferior epigastric artery (DIEA) and identify dominant perforators. Intraoperatively, indocyanine green (ICG) angiography was conducted to assess the perfusion of the flap and patency of the vascular anastomoses. Reconstructive surgery were performed using unilateral DIEPF in 4 patients and bilateral DIEPF with internal pressurization in 10 patients. Seven patients underwent anastomosis with intrathoracic vessels as recipient vessels, and 7 with thoracodorsal vessels. The weight of the resected breast tissue was 325.8 g±17.1 g, and the weight of the reconstructed breast flap was 332.9 g±32.1 g. The size of the harvested DIEPF ranged from 16.0 cm×9.0 cm to 24.0 cm×12.0 cm, with the length of the vascular pedicle anastomosed to the recipient vessels at 11.4 cm±1.5 cm. The donor sites were closed by layers with tension-reducing sutures, and the position of the umbilicus was relocated and sutured. All patients were included in the scheduled postoperative follow-up at the outpatient clinic after discharge.Results:Of all 14 patients, no postoperative crisis compromise of flap occurred, and both the recipient and donor sites healed primarily. During a follow-up period of 6 to 16 months, with an average of 11 months, no breast cancer recurrence was observed, and the aesthetic outcomes of the reconstructed breast were satisfactory without obvious complications.Conclusion:Breast reconstruction with DIEPF immediately after modified radical mastectomy with sparing nipple and areola can achieve good aesthetic results, less complications in the donor site and with high patient satisfaction rate.

Objective:To explore the value of clinical application of the infrared ray thermal imaging (IRTI) combined with the method of "two longitudinal and five transverse lines" in locating the perforators in the transfer of free anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTPF) in children.Methods:From November 2018 to November 2022, 13 children (8 boys and 5 girls) aged 2 to 12 years old (6.3 years old in average) who received free ALTPF transfers were included in this study. Causes of injury were 6 by car accidents, 2 by falls, 3 by crushing injuries and 2 by burning scars. Injury sites were 2 in head, 1 in trunk, 5 in hand and 5 in ankle. The size of soft tissue defect was 2.0 cm×4.2 cm-9.0 cm×16.0 cm, and the size of ALTPF was 2.3 cm×4.5 cm-6.0 cm×20.0 cm. The remaining wound was covered with medium thick skin grafts. IRTI combined with the method of "two longitudinal and five transverse lines" was applied to preoperatively locate the pedicle and design the ALTPF. Intraoperatively, the pedicles were explored within the region of anterolateral thigh. The rate of perforrator location and sensitivity of the infrared thermography were calculated. All donor sites were directly sutured. Standard postoperative management included anti-infection, anti-coagulation, anti-convulsion and blood volume expansion with adequate warming. Regular outpatient follow-ups were conducted through various means such as home visits, telephone calls, WeChat and text messages to observe flap survival and donor site healing.Results:All 13 patients completed the 3 to 35 (11.0±1.5) months of postoperative follow-up. All 13 flaps survived well, with good colour and texture, and without obvious bloating. Only one bloated flap had a local repair at the inner ankle with a flap thinning surgery in the stage Ⅱ surgery. Then all flaps achieved satisfaction appearance in all patients. All the donor sites healed at stage I. Two patients showed significant early scar hypertrophy in the donor site, which then gradually stabilised 12 months later. All patients had good functional recovery. Before surgery, a total of 38 perforators were discovered and 40 perforators were found intraoperatively. Of the 40 perforators, 3 were not explored before operation, which were located in the proximal part of Zone Ⅰ, Zone Ⅲ and Zone Ⅳ, respectively. The sensitivity of infrared thermography was found at 92.5% in preoperative detection and location of perforators, with a positive prediction at 97.3%.Conclusion:IRTI combined with the method of "two longitudinal and five transverse lines" in locating perforators is safe and reliable in the design of ALTPFs in children. It provides an additional and reliable option for location of perforator in the design and harvesting of ALTPFs in children.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application effects of combination of different types of free perforator flaps in the repair of complex wounds in extremities.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January 2018 to June 2022, 11 patients with complex wounds in extremities who met the inclusion criteria was admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, including 8 males and 3 females, aged 28 to 55 years. The wounds in the upper extremities in 4 cases and in the lower extremities in 7 cases were repaired with different combination of free perforator flaps. After debridement, the wound area was 7.0 cm×6.0 cm-28.0 cm×12.0 cm. A combination of different types of perforator flaps were applied, including the perforator tri-leaf flap of the descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery in 6 cases, the descending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery combined with oblique branch perforating branch flap in 2 cases, the lobulated flap of the descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery combined with the contralateral medial plantar artery perforator flap in 2 cases, and the bilateral perforator flap of the descending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery combined with great toe nail flap in 1 case, with the size of a single flap ranged from 2.0 cm×2.0 cm-25.0 cm×6.0 cm. The donor site was repaired by direct suture, skin grafting, or flap transplantation. During free flap transplantation, the flap was cut and split according to the distribution of perforators, and end-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis was performed between the donor area and the recipient area. After surgery, the survival of transplanted flap in the primary recipient site, the occurrence of vascular crisis, the wound healing in the flap donor site, and the survival of transplanted skin or flap in the flap donor site were observed. During follow-up, the blood supply, appearance and texture of the transplanted flap in the primary recipient site were observed; and at the same time, the weight bearing of the plantar receiving area, the presence of sliding, ulcers, and sinus tracts of the flap, and the appearance and function of the hand were observed; the complications in the donor area were observed.Results:After surgery, one patient's transplanted flap in the primary recipient site had vascular crisis but survived after exploration+vein graft bridging; partial necrosis occurred in one lobe of anterolateral thigh lobulated flap transplanted to the primary recipient site in one patient and recovered after dressing change+skin grafting, and the different types of perforator flap transplanted to the primary recipient site in the other 9 patients all survived. After surgery, the wound with direct suture at the donor site healed well, and the skin or flap transplanted to the donor area survived well. During 3-24 months of follow-up, the blood supply, appearance, and texture of the transplanted flap at the primary recipient site were good. In two patients, the anterolateral thigh flap combined with the medial plantar flap were used to repair plantar defects. The plantar receiving area was able to bear weight, and the texture of the flaps in the recipient area was close to the normal plantar skin, without flap sliding, ulcer, or sinus tract formation. In one patient, bilateral anterolateral thigh flap combined with great toe nail flap were used to repair hand combined with soft forearm defect, and the appearance and function of hand, especially thumb were good. Only linear scar was left in the donor site without other obvious complications.Conclusions:The combination of different types of perforator flaps is a reliable clinical method to repair complex wounds in extremities with high safety, good efficacy, and less complications.
