The protective effect of vitamin E and the change in activity of enzymes at hepatic injury by carbon tetrachloride(CCl_4) were studied with histochcmical methods. 60 rats were devided into three groups(A,B,C). The group A was untreated control; the animals of group B and C were injected(i. m.) with 0.9% NaCl 1 ml/100g or vitamin E 1 ml/100g body weight qd for 7 days respectively and then treated with 30% CCl_4 0.05ml/l00g by adding to the solution of NaCl or vitamin E from 8th to 14th days. On the 15th day, rats were sacrificed for histochemical study of the liver parenchyma. The results showed that the activity of SDH, G-6-Pase, ATPase, 5-NT or AcP in liver lobules of groups B and C animals were changed conspicuously after treatment with CCl_4. The quantitative histochemistry of SDH and G-6-Pase was also consistent with these results. The activity of SDH, G-6-Pase, ATPase and 5-NT were inhibited, but of AcP was elevated. As compared with those in the rats of group A, the changes however in group B appeared more obviously than those in group C. The results indicated that CCl_4 of the given dose induced acute damage in liver cells, while vitamin E had important protective effect against acute liver damag induced by CCl_4.

Objective:
To explore the clinical application of individualized design of facial artery perforator flap for the repair of midfacial defect caused by tumor resection.
Methods:
From January 2015 to January 2018, a total of 36 cases of midfacial defect were repaired by individualized designed facial artery. Flaps were designed and harvested according to the location and size of the midfacial defect resulted from tumor resection, including propeller flaps, droplet flaps and swallowtail-shape flaps. Flap size was between 1.3 cm × 1.6 cm and 2.0 cm × 4.2 cm with the donor site being sutured in the first stage.
Results:
During the 6 months to 3 years of postoperative follow-up, no tumor recurred. All the 36 cases of individualized designed facial artery perforator flaps survived well. Furthermore, flaps being designed according to the wound defect had a good appearance, the flaps matched the color and texture of the surrounding skin and had a favorable appearance. Besides, flaps had a certain degree of sensory recovery while there was no obvious scarring presented in the donor area.
Conclusions
Individualized design of facial artery perforator flap has great advantages of simple and flexible, easy manipulation, reliable flap blood flow and minimal donor injury, which render it valuable for clinical application.
