Objective To explore serratus anterior muscle transplantation for the repair of soft tissue defects in foot and ankle. Methods Seventeen patients consisted of 11 males and 6 females aging from 13 to 58 years with the mean age of 35.2 years. The anatomical parameters of serratus anterior of 17 cases were measured, the thickness of the muscle was (1.24?0.65) cm, and the diameter of origin point of the nutrient artery to the muscle was (1.4?0.6) mm. There were two veins arising from the muscle, the diameter of larger one was (2.5?0.8) mm. The length of vascular pedicle was (8.31?1.48) cm. 17 patients with soft tissue defect of foot and ankle were treated with free serratus anterior muscle transfer and split skin graft overlying the muscle. The primary lesions were soft tissue defect around the ankle and Pilon fracture in 5 cases, non-union of distal tibial fracture in 3, Achilles tendon and soft tissue defect in 3, metatarsal fracture and soft tissue defect in 4, and calcaneal fracture with soft tissue defect in 2. All of the patients suffered from infection or exposure of bone or applied plate, the area of soft tissue defect ranged from 4.5 cm?6 cm to 11 cm?13 cm. Results The average operative time was (6.5?1.2) hours. The complications included local hematoma in 2 cases, superficial infection in 2, winged scapula without function loss in 1,scar pain in 2, and numbness of lateral thoracic wall in 1. Furthermore, weakness and decreased shoulder mobility were noted in 3 patients comparing with the contralateral side, but the condition improved half year following the operation. The transferred muscle flap appeared thinner and less bulky , and healed intimately with the adjacent foot tissue, the patients resumed good function in walking. Conclusion The serratus anterior muscle flap is a good choice for treatment of soft tissue defects in foot and ankle.

Objective To study the one-month and one-year effect of 2006' Fujian International "Quit&Win" Competition,and to explore the influencing factors for smoking-quitting behaviors.Methods A equidistant sampling survey was conducted among the 4619 participants at the end of one-month and one-year after the competition by telephone,mailing and face to face interview.The survey contents include personal information,smoking-quitting and relapse information.The data were input with EPIDA3.1 software,?2 test and logistic stepwise regression were done with SPSS 11.5.Result The rate of smoking-quitting sustained for one-month was 51.9%,and the rate of smoking-quitting sustained for one-year was 38.0%.With one-way Chi-square test,the influencial factor on smoking-quitting succession for one-month was their intention of joining in the competition(?2=75.799,P=0.000);and the influencing factors on smoking-quitting succession for one-year were cigarette consumption per day(?2=9.953,P=0.019),their intention of joining in the competition(?2=52.227,P=0.000) and the method of smoking-quitting(?2=7.882,P=0.019).With logistic regression analysis,the influencial factors on smoking-quitting succession for one-month were age,their intention of joining in the competition and the method of smoking-quitting,the OR values were 0.98(0.964～0.997),1.198(1.195～3.080) and 2.812(2.152～3.675),respectively;the influencial factors on smoking-quitting succession for one-year were marriage,cigarette consumption per day,their intention of joining in the competition and the method of smoking-quitting,the OR values were 1.915(1.085～3.381),0.720(0.546～0.951),0.529(0.330～0.847),3.171(2.233～4.501) and 1.901(1.294～2.793),respectively.The major factors for relapse were the surrounding people smoking,lack of support,et al.Conclusion The 2006' Fujian International "Quit & Win" Competition gained a great success and has important significance for smoking-control work.

Objective To study the effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ,cy-clooxygenase-2 ( COX-2 ) inhibitor Piroxicam on the growth of colorectal cancer cells and to evaluate the preventive significance from COX-2 expression and apoptosis. Methods The cell growth of colorectal adenocar-cinoma cell line SW1116 was measured by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay, and COX-2 protein expression by Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot. Apoptosis was characterized by DNA fragmentation. Results The results showed that COX-2 inhibitor Piroxicam could restrain the proliferation of SW1116, which had positively related to its concentration. Concentration higher than 1. 0mmol/L showed cytotoxic effects. The inhibition of COX-2 by Piroxicam appeared within 12 hours, but COX-2 protein level recovered within 24 hours, its expression had negatively related to the concentration of Piroxicam. Apoptosis was induced in SW1116 culture with Piroxicam higher than 0. 1mmol/L. Conclusion It can be concluded that cell inhibition effect is associated with Piroxicam-mediated cell apoptosis and inhibition of COX-2 protein expression in SW1116 cell, because the effects of Piroxicam have the concentration and time dependence, in further clinical research its dosage and time of medication should be considered in preventing or treating colorectal cancer.

ObjectiveTo evaluate intraoperative cholangiograhy during cholecystectomy for patients with preoperative benign gallbladder disease. Methods Unexpected biliary disease and anomaly found by intraoperative cholangiography in 904 cases of preoperatively diagnosed simple gallbladder stone and polypoid lesions were analyzed. Results Choledocholithiasis was found in 79 cases, anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ)in 21, gallbladder cystic duct variations in 28, right accessory hepatic duct in 4 . Conclusions Intraoperative cholangiograhy during the process of simple cholecystectomy helps to discover preoperatively mis-diagnosed choledocholithiasis, hence to avoid secondary exploration of common bile duct which is otherwise inevitable, it may also demonstrate the anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction and bile ductal anatomic variations.
