Objective: To investigate the clinical effect and safety of tramadol hydrochloride sustained-release tablets for subcutaneous venous malformation polidocanol sclerotherapy. Methods: The experimentation was designed in block randomization. 106 patients with subcutaneous venous malformations from May 2016 to November 2017, which in line with the inclusion criteria, were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 53 cases in each group. Experimental group patients took 100 mg tramadol hydrochloride sustained-release tablet 1 hour before operation, while control group patients took nothing. Both group underwent polidocanol foam injection therapy guided by the color ultrasound, to observe the effect of operative analgesia, postoperative analgesia (VAS grade) and complications. The data was analyzed by SPSS 19.0 software. Comparison between two groups was done with independent sample t test and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The pain sensation(VAS grade) in surgery in experimental group(3.02±1.118)were significantly reduced than control group(6.30±1.514) (t=-12.701, P=0.000). 2 hours after operation the pain sensations decreased in both groups, but experimental group(0.23±0.577)were still better than which in control group(0.60±0.987)(t=-2.403, P=0.018). Three patients of experimental group(5.7%) felt mild nausea, and no other severe complications nor adverse effects occured. Conclusions Oral tramadol hydrochloride sustained-release tablets is one of safe, simple and effective way to achieve satisfactory preemptive analgesia for venous malformation polidocanol foam sclerotherapy.

BACKGROUND: The phenotype maintenance of diced cartilage is a very important factor to reduce cartilage absorption rate in augmentation rhinoplasty. A novel method which combined diced cartilage with chondrocyte spheroids in gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel may have potentially good performance in phenotype maintenance, and is worth exploring. METHODS: The complex grafts formed by loading diced cartilage with chondrocyte spheroids into GelMA hydrogel were used as the experimental group, and the grafts formed of diced cartilage in GelMA were used as the control group.The two groups of grafts were implanted subcutaneously in nude mice. After 1 month and 3 months, the grafts were taken for general observation and histological analysis. The diameter changes of cartilage, the nuclei loss of chondrocyte, and glycosaminoglycan secretion were analyzed. RESULTS: Chondrocyte spheroids with obvious proliferation can be seen in the experimental group. Some diced cartilages had become a whole through the interconnection of chondrocyte spheroids. In addition, the diameter of the chondrocyte spheroids—diced cartilage complex in the experimental group increased significantly, and its nuclei loss rate was less than 1/2 of that in the control group. The maintenance of proteoglycans in diced cartilages in the experimental group was significantly better than that in the control group. CONCLUSION The combination of diced cartilage with chondrocyte spheroids in GelMA hydrogel can significantly reduce the absorption of cartilage extracellular matrix, enhance phenotype maintenance during subcutaneous ectopic implantation, and can produce inter-chondral connections.

Objective:To describe the prevalence of anxiety symptom and personality disorder among medical aesthetic clients,and explore related factors of anxiety symptoms among them.Methods:Totally 788 clients who consulted in a cosmetic plastic surgery department were recruited in a tertiary hospital in Beijing from November 2021 to July 2023.Using the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4(PDQ-4)and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)as assessment instruments,with a cutoff point of 42 and 50 points respectively,for screening out personality disorder and anxiety symptom.Statistical analysis was conducted by analysis of variance,chi-square tests,multivari-ate linear regression and logistic regression.Results:The rate of anxiety symptom among the medical aesthetic cli-ents was of 15.23％(120/788),and the prevalence of personality disorder was 3.50％(28/788).Age was nega-tively associated with SAS scores(β=-0.82,P=0.009),PDQ-4 score was positively associated with SAS score(β=0.15,P＜0.001),eye plastic surgery,facial contouring and minimally invasive plastic surgery were positively associated with SAS score(β=2.00-3.64,P＜0.05).Conclusion:The younger and the more prominent the per-sonality dysfunction the clients are,the severer anxiety symptom they have.The clients who consult for eye plastic surgery,facial contouring,and minimally invasive plastic surgery have severer anxiety symptom.
