Objective To provide a clinical anatomic basis for the bi-pedicled gastrocnemius myocuta- neous flap which is to be used to repair defects of the Achilles tendon and posterior skin of the ankle.Methods In anatomic study,out of 30 cadaver specimens,bi-pedicled V-Y gastrocnemius myoeutaneous flaps were harvested to measure the downward sliding lengths of the flap when the knee was at flexion of different degrees.In clinic,12 patients with the Achilles tendon and posterior ankle skin defects were repaired with the bi-pedicled gastrocnemius myocutaneous flaps.The areas of composite defects ranged from 10 cm?6 cm to 6 cm?4 cm.They were followed up for four months to 12 years.Results The maximal sliding length of the flap reached (9.2?0.9)cm when the knee was at flexion of 90?.All the clinical flaps survived and ambulation of the patients recovered.The dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ankles reached 11.0??1.4?and 35.0??4.6?respectively.Conclusion This flap is suitable for one-stage repair of composite Achilles tendon defects.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze suicide scene, damage morphology and case investigation of mountain type scenic spot for giving the references to determine the nature of cliff suicide cases. METHODS: The suicide cases collected from 2002 to 2012 in scenic spot of Mount Huangshan. The age, gender, native place, case location, damage inspection and behavior were analyzed. RESULTS: In the 52 suicide cases, the suicide rate of male was higher than that of female. The numbers from other provinces were higher than that of local province. The age was mainly range from 19 to 50. The time of suicide cases mostly happened between 16:00 to 24:00. The major damage was compound injury with varying degrees of traumatic brain injury, organic injury of pleuroperitoneal cavity and surface bruise and scratch. CONCLUSION In order to determine the nature of cliff suicide cases, it needs to work synthetically in the investigation of crime scene and interview.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of mechanical irritation to the skin, eyes, and upper respiratory tract in workers exposed to rock wool.

METHODSThe gravimetric concentration of total dust and number concentration of fibre in the air of the rock wool workplace were determined . 109 rock wool manufacturing and processing workers were taken as the exposed group, 104 workers from an air separation plant, a papermaking plant and cover making plant were served as control group. All subjects accepted the questionnaire interview and clinical examination of the skin, eyes, nose and the pharynx.

RESULTS10.1% of the exposed group had the irritant contact dermatitis, which showed linear trend with the current gravimetric concentration of total dust (P < 0.05) but no association with the exposure age (P > 0.05), and the detection rate of conjunctivitis of the exposed group (12.8%) was significantly higher than the control group (2.8%) (P < 0.05). The percentages of shin and eye itching symptoms of the exposed group (54.1% and 42.9%) were significantly higher than the control group (11.5% and 26.5%) (P < 0.05), but the differences among/between the exposed subgroups with different exposure level and different exposure age were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The differences of the detection rate of chronic rhinitis and chronic pharyngitis and the percentages of the symptoms of nose and pharynx between the exposed group and control group were not statistically significant (P > 0.05), except the rhinorrhea symptom.

CONCLUSIONSOccupational exposure to rock wool had some degree of the mechanical irritation effects on the skin and eyes. The current exposure level of total dust should be emphatically controlled.

Objective: To observe the effect of Yi Jin Jing (Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises) on the muscle strength in senile sarcopenia. Methods: Sixty-five old people with sarcopenia were randomized into Yi Jin Jing group and a blank control group. Thirty-three patients in Yi Jin Jing group practiced Yi Jin Jing (Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises), while 32 patients in the blank control group didn't receive any interventions. The muscle strength was measured before and after 12-week training. Results: During the study, each group had 1 dropout. The muscle strength was improved after 12-week training in Yi Jin Jing group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the blank control group (P>0.05). After the intervention, there was a significant difference between Yi Jin Jing group and the blank control group in comparing the muscle strength (P<0.05). Conclusion: Constant Yi Jin Jing (Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises) training can notably improve skeletal muscle strength in senile sarcopenia.
