Objective To introduce the clinical apply of middle and small skin defect in finger injury with lateral arm free perforator flap.Methods (1) Ten cadavers were injected with a modified lead oxide-gelatin mixture.Later,CT scan,three-dimensional reconstruction of the cutaneous perforator vessels on the later arm.Then simulate the flap design.All cadavers were dissected before CT scanning.(2) Eighteen cases of middle and small skin defects in finger injury were treated with lateral arm free flap.The defect area were from 3 cm × 4 cm to 6 cm × 9 cm.Results Our research showed that the average caliber diameter of perforators of profunda brachial artery(PBA) was (0.71 ± 0.15) mm,and Posterior radial collateral artery(PRCA) was (0.94±0.22)mm.The results of pedicle length of perforator of PBA was (2.74 ±0.42) cm:(2.96 ±0.37) cm,and PRCA was (4.78 ±0.63) cm:(4.86 ±0.51) cm.3D reconstructive results showed that the perforators of PBA and PRCA dominated the lateral upper arm area.The flap of 18 cases survived after the operation.The wound of providing area was directly sutured or skin grafting and got healing.All cases were followed up for 6 months to 3 years,and the average follow-up time was 11 months.There was a little swelling on the outlooks of the flap,but the texture and sensation of the flap was good.Conclusion The lateral arm free perforator flap has a stable vessel pedicle,good texture and sensation,so it was a good method to repair middle and small skin defect in finger injury.

Eighteen cases(20 ears) of sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss in children had been reviewed. The results showed that the course of disease was longer before the patients receieved treatment. There may be a relationship between sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss in children and viral infection of upper respiratory or parotitis. The effect of treatment was similar to adults. DF-521 was effective and safe for sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss in children.

The occurrence of epilepstic seizures in patients with cerebral palsy (CP) remains a serious event and is very disruptive for children who already suffered from orther disabilties. Data from population-based studies or neurodevelopmental clinic studies showed that 8%～62% of patients with CP suffer from epilepsy. The incidence is highest in spastic tetraplegia and hemiplegia. Half of the patients were onset within the first year of age. Children with tetraplegia CP tended to have an earlier onset of epilepsy than chlidren with other CP types. Partial seizures were the most common seizure types, followed by infantile spasms and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Low birth weight, neonatal seizures, family history of epilepsy, lower intelligence and grey matter damage were found to be related to significantly increased risk of epilepsy. Epilepsy in children wih CP usually had poor outcome, half of them were intractable and needed polytherapy. Only 37%～65.2% of patients became seizure-free.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of using synbiotics and probiotics to prevent and cure intestinal dysbacteriosis after burn. Methods Burned rats were fed with synbiotics and probiotics reagents, and the amounts of major intestinal florae in caecal contents were detected. Results The major physiological anaerobes were mostly stable, and the conditioned pathogens had no abnormal. Conclusion The micro-ecosystem regulator can quickly supplement the decreased physiological anaerobes caused by burning,and avoid the occurrence of dysbacteriosis.

Objective To explore the anatomic characteristics of the peroneal perforator branches and its clinical application as vascularized flap transfer. Methods Twenty fresh cadaver specimen with 40 sides lower limbs were used in this study.Lead oxide gelatin was injected to the whole body,lower extremity radiaograph, spiral CT scan was then used to construct three demention visual model. The peroneal artery and its perforators were dissected,number of peferators,distance to fibular head,diameter and the length of the vascular pedicles were measured and analyzed. From July 2005 to October 2009, forty-three cases with skin defects were performed vascularized transfer in our study,surviving rate and postoperative function were followed up for 6 months to 2 years.Results Perforators were seen most at (9.80 ± 0.93)cm,(13.40 ±0.90) cm,(17.20 ± 1.13)cm,and (21.30 ± 0.77)cm beneath the fibular head with the artery branch diarneter(1.33 ± 0.39) mm,(1.30 ± 0.46)mm,(1.17 ± 0.30)mm,and (1.22 ± 0.23)mm,respectively,while the pedicle length was (5.87 ± 0.73)cm,(5.83 ± 1.73)cm,(5.44 ± 1.09)cm,and (5.10 ± 1.93) cm respectively.In clinic,42/43 free flaps survived.Postoperative outlook were satisfied except in 7 cases,the flaps looked bulky and needed secondary revision.All the donor calves showed good apperaence and function.Conclusion There are 4 regular perferators in lateral calf, while perforators in the middle 1/3 are bigger with relatively longer vascular pedicles which are appropriate for vascularized transfer.

Objective To prepare targeted microbubbles which load anti-VEGFR-3 and observe the targeting effect in vitro.Methods Targeted microbubbles loaded VEGFR-3 antibody were prepared and the targeting effect in vitro were tested by direct and indirect methods.Direct method took off-line analysis by image analysis software IPP and statistical analysed with SPSS software package.Indirect method took direct observation the target binding effect after incubation and centrifugal sedimentation.Results Image software IPP results showed that the quantity of microbubbles in targeted-group was obviously more than ordinary group.The average microbubbles per field in targeted-group was (151 ±20).The average microbubbles per field in ordinary group was ( 12 ±4 ) microbubbles, the numbers of combined microbubbles between targeted-group and ordinary-group had significant differences ( t=19.19,P<0.01).The indirect method results showed that, compared with ordinary group, the microbubbles in targeted-group could combined with cell gradually.Conclusion Targeted microbubbles load anti-VEGFR-3 have a better contrast effect than common microbubbles.

To study the abnormal distribution of type Ⅳ collagen and laminin chains in glomerular basement membrane (GBM) in membranous nephropathy (MN).Methods 52 cases of MN were collected and staged according to electron microscopic morphological characteristics,and 10 cases of kidney tissues of minimal change disease were used as normal GBM control.Distribution pattern of or5 (Ⅳ) chain,laminin α5and β2 chains,and laminin α2 and β1 chains were detected using immunofluorescence method.Results In minimal change disease,α5 (Ⅳ) chain,laminin α5 and β2 chains all showed continuously linear positive expression along GBM,and laminin α2 and β1 chains were negatively expressed in GBM.In stage Ⅰ MN,α5 (Ⅳ) chain,laminin α.5 and β2 chains all showed continuous linear positive expression along GBM.In stage ⅡMN,the expression of α5 (Ⅳ) chain was increased and showed abundant spikes on the basis of continuous linear positive staining along GBM,and the expression of laminin α5 and β2chains was increased,and segmental spikes were seen on the basis of continuous linear positive staining along GBM.In stage ⅢMN,the expression of α5 (Ⅳ),laminin α5 and β2 chains was also enhanced and segmental double tracks were seen.The expression of laminin α2 chain was negative in GBM in stage ⅠMN,but granular positive expression along GBM was seen in stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ MN.No positive expression of laminin β1chain was seen in GBM in different stages in MN.Conclusion The GBM thickness in MN originates not only from intrinsic type Ⅳ collagen chains and laminin chains,but also from laminin α2chain,which only exist in glomerulus mesangium in normal condition.

Objective To investigate the causes and managements of dys-seal syndrome (DSS) developed after esophageal stent placement. Methods From June 2001 to June 2008, esophageal stenting was performed in 98 consecutive patients with malignant esophageal obstruction. A total of 99 metallic stents were used. Of 98 patients. gastroesophageal anastomosis stricture was seen in 19, preoperative radiotherapy history in 26 and tracheoesophageal fistula in 34. Results DSS occurred in 7 patients, with an occurrence rate of 7.14% ,which was significant higher than that in patients with preoperative radiotherapy history and in patients showing marked dilated esophagus proximal to the obstructed site (X~2=0.017, 0.005, P=0.036, 0.013, respectively). After treatment, such as fasting, IPN or nasogastric feeding,only 1 case retumed to semi-liquid diet. Among the rest 6 cases of DSS, an additional stent was employed in one (but in vain), nasogastric feeding tube was used in 2, and removal of the stent under endoscopic guidance was carried out in 3. Conclusion DSS is one of the complications developed after esophageal stent placement, its prognosis is rather poor. Removal of the inserted stent may be the optimal treatment. The prevention of DSS includes proper pre-operation evaluation, selection of suitable stent, enhancement of perioperative nutritional support, etc.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Fluency stent-graft (Bard Corp) in transjugular intrahcpatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).Methods The clinical data of 21 consecutive patients treated by TIPS using Fluency stent-grafts were retrospectively reviewed.All of them were recurrent variceal bleeding secondary to portal vein hypertension,1 was bleeding secondary to primary hepatic carcinoma with port vein thrombns,and 1 was Budd-Chiari syndrome.They were followed-up after (10.1 ± 4.6) months (2.0 to 24.0 months).Stent-grafts patancy,portal vein pressure and liver function were recorded and compared.Results Twenty-five stent-grafts were successfully implanted in 21 patients,23 stent grafts were 8 mm 2 were 10 mm in diameter.The covered length of the stents varied from 6 to 8 cm.The bleeding was stopped and the portal vein pressure decreased significantly from (25.4 ± 3.5) mm Hg to (15.4 ± 2.8) mm Hg (t = 12.495,P < 0.01).During the follow-up period,The patient with primary HCC and portal vein thrombosis died 4 months after the procedure. One case had a new primary HCC during the follow-up and died 24 months after the procedure.One ease with variceal bleeding secondary to portal vein hypertension died of muhisystem organ failure.One case occluded in the hepatic vein and had another stcnt graft implanation.The other 17 cases had no stenosis after 7 to 17 months follow-up.Ultrasound showed that the stents were patent 1 week before the patients died.Three cases had transient symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy and recovered after treatment.The Child scores of the 19 patients survived more than 6 months were 6.3 ±1.4 before and 6.4 ± 1.9 after the procedure without significant difference (t = 0.645,P > 0.05).Conclusion The Fluency stent-grafts could increase the patency of the TIPS,but its efficacy on the long-term effect and hepatic encephalopathy need further investigation.

Objective To investigate the effects of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) on the expression of nm23, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and extrahepatic metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods The specimens were collected from resectable HCC in 72 patients. Patients were divided into two groups. In one group, TACE was performed before tumor resection (Group A, n=36). In another group, the tumors were resected directly without preoperative TACE (Group B, n=36). The expression and distribution of nm23, TIMP-2 in the tumor tissue and liver parenchyma in the two groups were compared. All patients were followed up for 24 months,and the incidence of extrahepatic metastasis was compared between the two groups. Chi-square test was applied to compare the expression levels of nm23-H1 and TIMP-2. Results The number of cases of strong, moderate and no expression of nm23 were 24, 6 and 6 cases in group A respectively, and were 9, 6 and 21 cases in group B. Statistical differences were found between the two groups(X~2=15.52, P<0.01). The number of cases of strong, moderate and no expression of TIMP-2 were 21,3 and 12 cases in group A respectively, and were 9, 9 and 18 cases in group B. Statistical differences were demonstrated between them (X~2=9.00, P<0.05). There were 13 cases in group A and 15 cases in group B being diagnosed to have extrahepatic metastasis within 24- month period of follow up, but there was no significant difference between the two groups(X~2= 0.23, P>0.05). Conclusions TACE could enhance the expression of nm23-H1 and TIMP-2 in tumor tissues. Therefore, the potential of metastasis of tumor cells might be prohibited by TACE.
