Objective To compare the efficacy between autologous fat and hyaluronic acid in filling nasolabial grooves.Methods Sixty patients who wanted improvement of nasolabial grooves were involved in the study.They were randomly and equally classified into two groups:autologous fat injection group and hyaluronic acid injection group.Photographs were taken before,half a year,and one year after injection.The nasolabial grooves were also graded before,half a year,and one year after injection.The grade improvement was obtained after postoperative grade minus preoperative grade.If the grade improvement was more than 1 grade,the treatment was regarded as effective to evaluate the outcome between the two methods.Results The results of the two groups were tested by SPSS 13.0 software.The effects of the two methods were not significantly different after half a year of filling (P＞0.05).The difference was significant one year after filling (P＜0.05).In autologous fat injection,the patients had a long and magnificant swelling and redness around the nasolabial grooves;on the contrary,the patients who underwent hyaluronic acid had slight and short-time local reaction like swelling and redness.No other serious complications were found in both the groups.Conclusions The effects of the autologous fat and the hyaluronic acid are equal after half a year of filling.The autologous fat has a longer effect in one year.Both methods are safe and effective.Surgeons can select the method accordingly.

Objective: To study the clinical effect of relaying peroneal artery perforator flap on anterior middle and lower tibia and donor-site defects repair. Methods: From July 2014 to June 2017, 12 patients were included. The anterior middle-lower tibia soft tissue defects and the primary donor-sites were repaired by relaying peroneal artery perforator flaps, and the second donor-sites were directly closed. The size of anterior middle-lower tibia defects ranged from 5 cm × 3 cm to 13 cm × 9 cm. The flaps repairing the wounds ranged from 6 cm × 4 cm to 14 cm × 10 cm in size. The flaps restoring the first donor-site ranged from 5 cm×4 cm to 10 cm×6 cm in size. The clinical effect was evaluated by observing the appearance of the recipient sites and the donor sites. Results: All the flaps survived uneventfully. All patients were followed up for 8-36 months (average 20 months). The flaps remained with good texture and color. The second donor-sites only left linear scar, which do not affect the overall appearance of limb. Conclusions The blood supply of relaying peroneal artery perforator is reliable without any disturbing of the main artery. The flap located on the lateral of the calf. The relaying peroneal artery perforator flap can repair the soft tissue defect at the anterior middle-lower tibia and improve the appearance of the first donor-site.

Objective: To explore the clinical effect of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in emergency limb-salvage operation of destructive injury of limb. Methods: From July 2014 to December 2017, 43 patients with destructive injury of limb in one side conformed to the inclusion criteria were admitted to our hospital. The patients were divided to NPWT group of 24 patients [ 21 males and 3 females, aged (38±10) years] and routine dressing change group of 19 patients [ 17 males and 2 females, aged (37±10) years] according to their treatment methods. After the emergency debridement, fracture external fixation, neurovascular exploration, and microsurgical repair were performed, NPWT were applied on wounds of patients in NPWT group and routine dressing change treatment on wounds of patients in routine dressing change group. On 7 to 10 days after the emergency operation, incidence of arterial embolism of patients in the two groups were calculated, and condition of wound infection of patients in the two groups were observed. Complete wound healing time and survival condition of limb were recorded. Data were processed with independent sample t test or chi-square test. Results: Incidence of arterial embolism of patients in NPWT group on 7 to 10 days after the emergency operation was 6.67% (3/45), which was close to 5.56% (2/36) of patients in routine dressing change group (χ²=0.043, P>0.05). There was 1 patient with wound infection in NPWT group on 7 to 10 days after the emergency operation, obviously less than 6 patients in routine dressing change group (χ²=5.847, P<0.05). Complete wound healing time of patients in NPWT group was (30±4) d, significantly shorter than (36±8) d of patients in routine dressing change group (t=2.813, P<0.01). Limbs of 24 patients in NPWT group survived, which was close to 18 patients in routine dressing change group (χ²=1.293, P>0.05). Conclusions NPWT can significantly reduce tthe wound infection rate and shorten the time of wound healing of limb with destructive injury after emergency operation, which is worthy of popularization in clinic.

AIM:To study the regulation of human chromosome 1 open reading frame 109(c1orf109)gene by transcription factor Myc-associated zinc-finger protein(MAZ)in vitro.METHODS:In vitro study,electrophoretic mobili-ty shift assay was performed to screen the binding sites of MAZ in the promoter region of c1orf109 gene.The HeLa cells were co-transfected with the enhanced green fluorescent protein reporter vector driven by c1orf109 promoter,and MAZ and transcription factor specificity protein 1(Sp1)expression plasmids.After 24 h,the transcriptional expression of c1orf109 gene in the co-transfected cells was determined by confocal scanning microscopy and flow cytometry.RESULTS:The c1orf109 promoter could bind to MAZ ,and shared the binding sites with Sp 1.MAZ and Sp1 both inhibited the transcrip-tional expression of c1orf109 gene and the inhibition effect of Sp1 was greater than MAZ(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Both MAZ and Sp1 regulate the expression of c1orf109 gene in physiological and pathological conditions ,and this regulation is redundancy with the same direction.The existence of redundancy transcriptional regulation manner of this gene suggests that precise regulation of c1orf109 gene is vital important for cell biological processing.
