Objective To explore the method of repairing foot soft tissue defects by using island skin flaps pedicled with sural nerves and vessels. Methods 24 patients with foot soft tissue defects were treated surgically. The defects were repaired with island skin flaps pedicled with ipsilateral sural nerves and vessels. Results Of all the 24 flaps, 21 flaps survived at the first intention. Partial necrosis appeared in 3 flaps but were cured at the second intention. The follow ups of 1 to 2 years showed that the appearance and function were satisfactory in all the cases except 4 in which the skin appeared swollen. Conclusion To repair foot soft tissue defects, this flap has the advantages of strong anti infection ability and good texture so that healing at the first intention and early functional recovery can be obtained.

Objective To investigate a safe, highly efficient and rapid skin expansion method. Methods Syringe pump and pump control of automatic (PCA) replacemented normal affusion were used with shorter and vertical skin professional jargon for continuous and constant pressure skin expansion. Twenty cases (23 expanders) were carried out in this way. Results The maximum area of defect was 16 cm?20 cm, and the minimum area of defect was 3 cm?3 cm. The expanders were used for 18 days and the volume of expanders were 40-900 ml . It was more rapidly than normal affusion. There were no more complications except a case of expander leakage, and others expressed their satifactions Conclusion This modification of the skin expansion is a safe, comfortable, convenient to carry with. It is worth recommendation.

Objective To assess subclinical left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in normotensive latent autoimmune diabetes in adult (LADA) patients with normal ejection fraction and fractional shortening by velocity vector imaging (VVI) . Methods Digital dynamic imaging of 60 normotensive LADA patients and another 60 healthy subjects were collected. The longitudinal velocity, strain, and strain rate were measured in systolic, early and later diastolic period respectively and the peak time of velocity, strain, and strain rate were recorded. The parameters were analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, all of the measured parameters of LADA patients were significantly lower (P ＜ 0. 01), except the later diastolic strain (P ＞ 0. 05) . The peak time of myo-cardial longitudinal velocity, strain and strain rate was lengthened compared with the control group, but without statistical significance (P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusion VVI is a novel and noninvasive tool to quantitatively and objectively assess left ventricular regional systolic and diastolic function in the LADA patients. It can make trustworthy early diagnose of abnormal left ventricle myocardial performance in patients with subclinical LADA.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of surfactant protein-A (SP-A) in exudate pleural effusion (EPE).Methods:This clinical study was prospective,observational and cross-sectional.Two hundred and fifteen patients with pleural effusion were divided into the transudate pleural effusions (TPE) group and the EPE group.TPE patients served as the control group.The concentrations of pleural effusions SP-A (SP-Apl) and serum SP-A (SP-Ase) were measured by ELISA,and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve and multivarate Cox analysis of SP-A was analysed for its clinical value.Results:SP-Apl concentrations in the EPE group were significantly higher than that in the TPE group [(189.8±43.4) ng/mLvs (22.3±5.1) ng/mL,P＜0.01];SP-Ase concentrations in the EPE group were higher than that in the TPE group [(78.9±11.3) ng/mL vs (25.8±12.4) ng/mL,P＜0.05];SP-Apl concentrations were significantly higher than the concentrations of SP-Ase in the EPE group (P＜0.01).In EPE group,SP-Apl and SP-Ase concentration in the patients with primary lung adenocarcinomas were the highest.The cut off value of SP-Apl concentrations was more than 484.5 ng/mL,yielding a 85.4％ sensitivity and 95.2％ specificity for diagnosing primary lung adenocarcinomas,with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.943 (95％ CI 0.852 to 0.934,P＜0.01);when SP-Ase concentration was more than 84.2 ng/mL,it yielded a 76.4％ sensitivity and 94.3％ specificity for diagnosing primary lung adenocarcinomas,with an AUC of 0.910 (95％ CI 0.921 to 0.953,P＜0.01).Conclusion:While SP-Apl concentration is more than 484.5 ng/mL and/or SP-Ase concentration is more than 84.2 ng/mL,it may be helpful for the diagnosis of primary lung adenocarcinomas with the usage ofpleural effusion.

Anopheles minimus was once a main malaria vector in Hainan Island and had been e-liminated basically through the campaign of indoor residual spraying launched in 1959. It again became an incriminated vector of some focal malaria outbreaks in recent years. The present study was conducted in a selected county-Danxian and a typical hilly area-Feibar in the west part of Danxian county in 1989-1990.An. minimus was found in 50% and 62. 5 % of the surveyed sites at mountainous and hilly area of Danxian county,but not found in coastal region. An. minimus was found in all 18 sites surveyed in Feibar district constituting 52% of anopheline composition. Man-biting rate made by human-baited collection was 3. 2 before midniaght and 38. 2 when collected through whole night in some sites. However, the behaviour characteristics of An. minimus has changed. It has become exophilic,exophagic, and has an equal preference for man and cattle. The vectorial capacity of An. minimus estimated by quantitative data was in accord with malaria infection rate in Feibar district ,and the malaria infection rate among the inhabitants in three types of residential quarter with different socioeconomic conditions. Malaria infection rates of residential quarter of land-reclamation outcomers, villagers and state farm residents were 10%,2. 9% and 0. 5% respectively during 40 days from July to August,1990.Owing to the fact that An. minimus has become a secondary vector only next to An. dirus, with a wide range of distribution and a considerable different characteristics in behaviour compared to that before spraying campaign , it is suggested that a malaria control programme must be seriously planned to adjust the new problem of malaria epidemiology in Hainan Province.

Objective:This study has investigated the value of detecting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) MyD88L265P mutation and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels in the prognosis of PCNSL.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data, CSF characteristics (including cytology, cell counting, total protein, and the level of cytokine IL-10) and treatment process of 39 PCNSL patients newly diagnosed by surgery and pathology (18 males and 21 females, aged 40-73 years) from August 2013 to December 2016 in Hua Shan Hospital North. MyD88L265P mutation was detected by digital PCR in 39 paraffin-embedded tissues and 35 cerebrospinal fluid samples. Log-rank test was used for univariate analysis and Cox regression for multivariate analysis to establish the prognosis model of PCNSL which might be related to PCNSL first progress-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).Results:The median age of the 39 PCNSL patients was 59 years old, with 30.8% (12/39) intraocular involvement. The mutation rate of MyD88L265P in tissues and cerebrospinal fluid was 74.4% (29/39) and 40.0% (14/35), respectively. 51.9% (14/27) patients were observed with MyD88L265P mutation in both tissues and CFS. Univariate analysis showed that intraocular involvement, high level of IL-10 in CFS (≥45 pg/ml), and MyD88L265P mutation in CFS are factors significantly influencing median progression-free survival (mPFS) of patients ( P<0.05). Patients with intraocular involvement had shorter OS than those without involvement which was statistically significant ( HR=6.5,95% CI 1.7-47.3, P<0.05). And multivariate analysis showed that intraocular involvement ( HR=2.4, 95% CI 1.3-7.8, P<0.05) and CFS MyD88L265P mutation ( HR=2.1, 95% CI 1.1-5.7, P<0.05) were independent prognostic factors for PFS. Conclusion:The presence of intraocular involvement and MyD88L265P mutation in CFS indicated poor prognosis of PCNSL patients. High CSF IL-10 level was not an independent factor affecting prognosis.
