Objective To evaluate the performance of trilobed flaps for reconstruction of nasal tip defects. Methods Totally, 23 patients with nasal tip defects after tumor resection were enrolled into this study. Skin defects varied from 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm in size. According to the location and size of skin defects, trilobed flaps were designed, and the angle between two lobes ranged from 45° to 50°. The size of the first lobe was approximately equal to that of the skin defect, while the size of the second and third lobes decreased successively. During flap design, the integrity of nasal subunits was sufficiently considered, and the incision lines were placed along the boundary lines of the nasal subunit as far as possible, so as to conceal the incision scar with natural skin folds. Results After the operation, skin flaps survived with primary healing of incisions in all the patients. After 6 - 24 months of follow up, the color, texture and thickness of flaps were similar to those of their surrounding skin, and incision scars were inconspicuous. No malformation occurred in the nasal ala, nostril, nasal columella or surrounding organs, and satisfactory nasal appearance and function were achieved. Conclusion Trilobed flaps can be used to effectively repair relatively large skin defects of the nasal tip with satisfactory nasal appearance and function.

Objective:To investigate the clinical therapeutic effect of low-dose chemotherapy in advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients with weak physical condition, and to evaluate the related factors affecting the prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 118 advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients with weak physical condition who were admitted to Xiamen Branch, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from March 2018 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to make survival analysis in patients stratified by different factors, and log-rank was used to test. Multiple factor analysis of prognosis was performed by using Cox regression model. The association of clinicopathological factors with the prognosis was evaluated.Results:Among 118 patients, 16 (13.6%) cases were esophageal cancer, 41 (34.7%) cases were gastric cancer, 48 (40.7%) cases were colorectal cancer, 13 (11.0%) cases were pancreatic cancer. The overall survival (OS) rates of 6 months and 1-year were 44.1% and 10.2%, respectively. Survival analysis showed that patients with hemoglobin ≥100 g/L, serum albumin > 40 g/L and normal gastrointestinal function had better OS (all P < 0.05), while patients with physical status score of 3 scores and pain had worse OS (all P < 0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that after adjusting age and gender, hemoglobin level ( HR = 0.314, 95% CI 0.241-0.977, P = 0.001), pain ( HR = 2.016, 95% CI 1.697-7.038, P = 0.008) and gastrointestinal function ( HR = 1.751, 95% CI 1.607-6.080, P = 0.036) were independent influencing factors of OS in advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients with weak physical condition after receiving low-dose chemotherapy. Conclusions:Low-dose chemotherapy can still benefit advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients with weak physical condition. Hemoglobin level, pain and gastrointestinal function are independent prognostic factors for these patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of Plasmodium vivax merozoite surface protein 1(PvMSP1)on differentia-tion,maturation and function of dendritic cells(DC)and the mechanisms of PvMSP1 on the activation of DC via toll like receptors (TLR). Methods DCs were incubated with different doses of PvMSP1(1.0,10.0,100.0μg/ml)in vitro. The changes of CD83, CD86,and HLA-DR on DC were detected by flow cytometry(FCM);the expressions of cytokine IL-10 and IL-12 of DC were mea-sured by ELISA;the expressions of TLR4 and TLR9 mRNA of DC were measured by RT-PCR;the proliferation induction to autol-ogous lymphocytes of DC was measured by MTT. Meanwhile,the untreated DC and LPS inducing DC were as the negative control and positive control,respectively. All the data were analyzed statistically. Results Compared with the untreated DC,the propor-tions of CD83,CD86 and HLA-DR on DC induced by LPS and PvMSP1 increased significantly(all P<0.05);the expressions of IL-10 and IL-12 of DC induced by LPS increased significantly(P<0.01),and those induced by PvMSP1 also increased signifi-cantly(all P<0.05). In the LPS inducing group,the TLR4 mRNA production increased(P<0.05)and the TLR9 mRNA produc-tion had no significantly changes(P>0.05). In the PvMSP1-treated group,the DC TLR4 mRNA production increased(P<0.01) and the TLR9 mRNA production had no significantly changes(P>0.05);DC stimulated the proliferation of autologous lympho-cytes. Conclusion PvMSP1 enhances DC differentiation and maturation,and the mature DC induced by PvMSP1 has the ability of antigen presenting. The route for PvMSP1 inducing DC maturation might be TLR4 pathway rather than TLR9 pathway.
