Objective To provide anatomical basis for one-stage full dynamic correction of late facial palsy with double latissimus dorsi segmental muscle flaps.MethodsForty sides of formaldehyde fixed latissimus dorsi in twenty cadavers were selected to microsurgery anatomy,three sides fresh latissimus dorsi specimens were blood vessel casted.The extramusclar and intramuscular neurovascular distribution were observed.Results①In 92.5%of the thoracodorsal nerve divides into a medial and a lateral branch be fore entering the muscle.In 7.5%of the thoracodorsal nerve divides into three major branches.The coordinate of the bifurcation point of the thoracodorsal Here was[(7.94±1.23)cm,(3.71±1.68)cm].In the district of this angle's middle line,the numbers of vessels and nerves is relative few.②The lateral muscle flaps of the latissimus dorsi can be divided into 3-5 independent segmental flaps,the medial muscle flaps of the latissimus dorsi Can be divided into 2-4 independent segmental flaps.③The segmental nerve usually locate the two sides of vessel,which are arranged(from medial to lateral)in a NVAV order in the reedial segmental branches(100%),in a VAVN order in the lateral segmental branches(85.0%)and in a NVAV order in the lateral segmental branches(15.0%).④The neural pedicle Was cut from the lateral bifurcation point,the mean length of the third medial muscle neural pedicle was 16 cm；the mean length of the third or the forth lateral muscle neural pedicle was 12 cm.Conclusion Late facial palsy can be cuwd with onestage cross-facial transplantation of neurovascularized free double latissimus dorsi segmental muscle flaps.

To explore a new mode of teaching activities and management of clinical practice, our hospital adopted various methods, including computer training and exams, selecting practice guiding experts among the three level specialties, establishing labs for the operation of basic skills, using credit books for trainees and adopting integrated education on disease entities. In the past, teachers could teach and set exams in whatever way they liked and students did not have enough opportunities to come across various disease entities or to operate with their hands. Now such shortcomings have been overcome. Students can receive comprehensive, systematic and standard training in clinical operations. At the same time, their quality with regard to professional knowledge and ethics has also been enhanced.

Objective To study the retrograde axonal transport of Schwann cell derived neurotrophic factor(SDNF)by motor neurons Methods SDNF was labeled with Chloramine T, 125 I SDNF and 100 fold excess of unlabelled SDNF was injected into the right hindlegs of neonatal rats separately The spinal cords was removed for counting in a  counter Results The radioactive level of experimental side was more than contralateral side The transport was blocked by 100 fold excess of unlabelled SDNF Conclusion SDNF was transported retrogradely by spinal motor neurons

Objective To analyse the molecular structure of Schwann cell derived neurotrophic protein (SDNP) by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) Methods The purity of SDNP was digested byTPCK trypsin and detected by MALDI TOF MS, mass mapping was determined and partial sequences of the protein have neen analyzed by the mass data of fragment ion peaks in the fragmentation analysis and structural TOF MS (FAST) spectra The primary partial structure of SDNP was identified by searching the protein databases Results The integrity SDNP in peak detected by MALDI TOF MS has 66?10 3 MW and higher purity, because no other peaks exists except double charge peak The mass mapping of many peptides was determined and 8 peptides of them have been retrieved in MS Fit database, there is not the same protein in database Hypothetical protein has 5 peptides homology with the sample (62%) FAST spectra of 2305 Da shows the primary partial structure of SDNP after searching the protein MS Tag database Conclusions The molecular weight of SDNP detected by MALDI TOF MS is 66?10 3, The sequence of partial amino acid is EPVKKVTNSRRAKRTKPNGHIAN

Objective To evaluate the effect of microneurovascular muscle transplantation for long standing facial paralysis by employing phrenic nerve as recipient motor nerve source Method Three cases with long standing facial palsy were treated using this operative method The latissimus dorsi with thoracodorsal vessels and thoracordorsal nerve was used as donor The ipsilateral phrenic nerve was used as a recipient motor nerve source and the facial artery and vein as recipient vessels The transferred muscle was fixated on the zygomatic arch,the nasalabial fold and commissure of orbicular oris Results All of cases obtained function restoration of the transferred muscle during 12～16 weeks postoperatively Both static and dynamic facial appearance improved Among them,two cases showed a little over bulk in the operative side,among them,one case was improved by removing a part of subcutaneous fat and outer layer of transferred muscle in another operation Conclusion Comparing with the previous operative method,this new operation method could be completed in one stage,which had not to explore the buccal branch of facial nerve in the health side of face,therefore,there is no scar left in the health side In addition,phrenic nerve was easy to explore and longer enough for anastomosis to the nerve attached to the muscle,so the short length of nerve in the transferred muscle is more easy to regeneration after anastomosis to the recipient nerve All these suggests that the transplanted muscle with phrenic nerve as recipient motor source is a simple,short time consumption, less scar left and good effect operation method for facial paralysis

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of partial fascicle from the ulnar nerve to biceps branch of musculocutaneous nerve to treat brachial plexus injury. Methods Six cases of brachial plexus injury were involved in this group.3 cases were upper trunk injury and 3 cases were accompanied partial lower trunk injury.A partial fascicle of ulnar nerve transfered to repair biceps branch underwent in all cases,phrenic nerve or accessory nerve were transfered to repair suprascapular nerve.The mean time from injury to surgery was 2.8 months.Patients were evaluated with regard to elbow flexion and should abduction ansle,grip strengthen,morbidity of ulnar nerve function lose. Results Five cases out of six got follow up.The mean period of follow-up was 18 months(range from 9-30 months).The average reinnervation time for the biceps muscle was 3.3 months. All the patients' recovery of elbow flexion Was M_3~+-M_5; and the shoulder adduction was 90°-180°;the grip strength was not downgraded. No notable impairment of the donor site nerve function was observed in 4 cases,just 1 case with a little more fascicle been harvested had partial ulnar nerve impairments. Conclusion The use of ulnar nerve partial fascicle to biceps branch combined with phrenic nerve or accessory nerve to suprascapular nerve to reconstruct upper roots avulsion of the brachial plexus is a valid and convenient procedure.It can obtain good functional restoration in elbow flexion and shoulder adduction in a resonable time.The cases with partial lower trunk injury of brachial plexus,the partial fascicle of ulnar nerve can still be used for repair the musculocutaneous nerve.

Objective To investigate association between serum uric acid (SUA),albuminuria and glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods A total of 220 patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study.According to urinary albumin excretion rates,patients were divided into 3 groups:normoalbuminuria (NAU) group,microalbuminuria (MAU) group,and macroalbumnuria group (MAAU).The first two groups were subdivided at SUA ＞ 420 μmol/L (＞ 357 μmol/L,female) into normouricemia group and hyperuricemia group,at eGFR ＞ 90 ml/min into high and low renal function groups.General information,blood biochemical results were collected to analyze the association between serum uric acid,eGFR,UAER and urine albumin quantification among different groups.Results The difference of SBP,duration of diabetes (DD),Scr,SUA and eGFR between every two groups were significant (P ＜ 0.05).SBP,DD,Scr and SUA were highest in subjects with macroalbumnuria,second in microalbuminuria group,and lowest in normoalbuminuria group,while eGFR was lowest in macroalbumnuria group and highest in normoalbuminuria group.Prevalence of hyperuricemia in macroalbumnuria group (56.9％) and microalbuminuria group (51.2％) were also significantly higher than that in normoalbuminuria group (17.5％) (all P ＜ 0.01).The difference of UAER in the subgroups of normouricemia and hyperuricemia was more significant in microalbuminuria group than in normoalbuminuria group.eGFR was significantly lower in hyperuricemia subgroups (P ＜0.01).Age and SUA were significantlg higher in subjects with low renal function compared with high eGFR (P ＜ 0.05).Linear regression analysis indicated SUA was negatively correlated with eGFR after adjusted age,DD and UAER (β =-0.430,P ＜ 0.01).Binary logistic regression analysis found that increased age,DD and SUA were risk factors of microalbuminuria β =1.092,95％ CI(1.025,1.163),P ＜ 0.01;β =1.005,95％CI(1.001,1.009),P ＜ 0.05;β =1.407,95％ CI(1.052,1.881),P ＜ 0.05)] and SUA,age were risk factors of early renal function decline [β =1.015,95 ％ CI(1.00,1.023),P ＜ 0.01;β =1.098,95％ CI(1.006,1.199),P ＜ 0.05].Conclusion SUA is independently associated with albumnuria and renal function decline in type 2 DM patients.
