Objective To explore the effects of VEGF/bFGF sustained release microspheres combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy on survival rates of uhralong random pattern flaps in rats.Methods Modified McFarlane flap rat models were randomly divided into 4 groups,VEGF/bFGF microspheres + hyperbaric oxygen group,VEGF/bFGF microspheres group,hyperbaric oxygen group and control group.At the end of 7 days,survival rates of flaps were calculated (Survival rate =Survival area/total area × 100％).The tissue samples were taken from middle portion of flaps to detect the neovascularization.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the differential expression of VEGF.Results Seven days after the random pattern flap operation in rats,the survival rates of VEGF/bFGF microspheres combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy experimental group,VEGF/bFGF microspheres experimental group,hyperbaric oxygen therapy experimental group,and control group were (89.54 ± 3.23) ％,(73.54 ± 4.57) ％,(71.89 ± 2.26) ％,(50.36 ± 2.37) ％ respectively.The neovascularization counts of each group in part Ⅱ were (35.14 ± 4.21)/mm2,(23.34 ± 2.53)/mm2,(25.22 ±2.73)/mm2 and (17.37 ± 5.73)/mm2 respectively.VEGF cumulative absorbance in VEGF/bFGF microspheres + hyperbaric oxygen group,VEGF/bFGF microspheres group,hyperbaric oxygen group and control group were 78.39 ± 9.12,52.42 ± 13.59,49.84 ± 12.93,29.24 ± 10.35 respectively.In each experimental result group,there were significant difference between the combination group and the other groups (F =189.956,P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference between VEGF/bFGF microspheres experimental group and hyperbaric oxygen therapy experimental group.Conclusion VEGF/bFGF sustained release microspheres combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy can promote flap neovascularization,increase the flap blood supply and then improve the survival of random pattern skin flaps.

Objective To investigate the outcome between endoscopically assisted and routine anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve for treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome.Methods From Februray 2008 to June 2010, forty-four patients with cubital tunnel syndrome were treated with routine anterior subcutaneous transposition (routine group,28 cases) and endoscopically assisted anterior subcutaneous transposition (endoscope group,16 cases).The operate time,drug administration,scar and postoperative hospital stay were compared.The patients were followed 1-12 month postoperatively,postoperative time back to work and function of ulner nerve were recorded.Results The results of endoscope group were as follows: operative time was (67.20 ± 19.69)min; postoperative scar length was (1.5％ ± 0.58) cm; rate of administration of anodyne was 6.3％; postoperative hospital stay was (2.4％ ± 1.42) days; postoperative time back to work,(14.6 ± 4.69)days; the results of open surgery group were as follows:operative time (62.8％ ± 11.06) min; postoperative scar length was (8.7％ ± 1.42) cm; rate of administration of anodyne was 42.8％; postoperative hospital stay was (5.7％ ± 2.53) days; postoperative time back to work was (29.40 ± 8.75) days; all differences of the results were significant between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).According to function of ulner nerve scoring system,one year postoperatively, excellent or good results were 82.14％ in routine group and 81.25％ in endoscope group,no significant difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Compared with routine anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve,endoscopically assisted anterior transposition has the following advantages: smaller incision and less tissue damage,less postoperative pain and sooner returning to work.And similar outcome was achieved from the two group.

Objective To explore the effects of small incision in situ release on surgical indications,nerve conduction velocity and upper limb function in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS).Methods A total of 100 CTS patients admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to January 2022 were selected,they were randomly divided into the control group(50 cases,treated with traditional carpal tunnel release)and the observation group(50 cases,treated with small incision in situ release),the clinical data of CTS patients were collected and surgical indications,nerve conduction velocity,upper limb function and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was 98.00％in the observation group and 84.00％in the control group(P＜0.05).In the observation group,the length of incision was(1.65±0.29)cm,the time of opening and closing incision was(4.85±1.02)min,the hospitalization time was(3.24±0.62)d,the intraoperative blood loss was(17.88±3.53)mL,and the VAS score was(3.03±0.56)points one day after operation.The control group were(4.02±0.81)cm,(10.06±2.28)min,(7.11±1.34)d,(24.37±5.27)ml,(4.04± 0.89)points,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).After treatment,The thumle-wrist sensory conduction velocity of CTS patients in the study group was(46.05±8.39)m/s,the middle finger-wrist sensory conduction velocity was(45.05±8.95)m/s,the thenar muscles-wrist motor conduction velocity was(53.94±11.47)m/s,the FIM ADL score was(34.38±7.22)points,and FMA The upper limb score was(34.23±7.25)points,and the control group was(41.86±8.22)m/s,(40.88±8.28)m/s,(49.05±10.01)m/s,(27.81±6.01)points,(41.05±9.19)points.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The total incidence of complications was 4.00％in the observation group and 20.00％in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Small incision in situ release is effective in the treatment of CTS patients,which can improve the surgical indications and nerve conduction velocity,help patients recover upper limb function,and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
