Objective To report our results of a study of 21 patients who underwent reconstruction of complicated head and neck defects following cancer ablation using microvascular anastomotic anterolateral thigh flap To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using this flap Methods Twenty one consecutive free anterolateral thigh flaps in 21 patients were transferred for reconstruction of head and neck defects following cancer ablation between May 1990 and April 2001 The success rate was 95 percent (20 of 21),with one flap lost due to a twisted perforator The anterolateral thigh flaps were classified into four types according to the perforator derivation and the direction in which it traversed the vastus lateralis muscle Type I is the most common,in which a vertical musculocutaneous perforators from the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery were found in 61 9 percent of cases (13 of 21) Reconstruction of one layer facial skin defect was carried out in 3 cases,through and through defect in 15 cases,the skin defects of the anterior cervical region and the mucosa defects of the hypopharynx in 3 cases Results Nineteen of 21 flaps survived One flap was totally lost and another was partially lost after surgery The mean follow up was 46 months (range:6 to 120 months) A total of 9 patients were disease free survival Two patients are alive with persistent tumor 5 patients died of local recurrence 4 patient died of regional lymph node metastasis,brain metastasis,second primary cancer and cerebral vascular accident respectively,1 patient was lost to follow up Conclusion The anterolateral thigh flap provides more tissue than the radial forearm flap,no important artery sacrificed and the donor scar is more easily hidden The anterolateral thigh flap can be successfully used to repair a variety of complicated defects of the head and neck

Major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰ chain related gene A(MICA) is located within the MHC class Ⅰ region of chromosome 6,including six exons.The MICA locus encodes membrane-bound polypeptides,similar with the classic class Ⅰ molecules,including three extracellular domains (α1,α2 and α3),a transmembrane domain,and a cytoplasmic tail,but is not associated with β2-microglobulin.MICA gene is expressed on endothelial cells,epithelial cells as well as most epithelial tumor cells surfaces,and are involved in the process of cell differentiation,proliferation and infiltration in a variety of tumor cells.Soluble MICA (sMICA) can be used as the prognosis predicting factor for some tumors.MICA gene plays an important role in the pathogenesis of a variety of malignant tumors,which might bring new ideas in prevention and treatment for malignant tumors.

The paper aims to explore the studying method for the pharmacokinetics of drugs in target organs, the pharmacokinetic process of tramadol hydrochloride in the extracellular fluid of frontal cortex (FrCx) of mice was investigated. Six male mice (Kunming strain) were anaesthetized (urethane, 1.8 g x kg(-1), ip) and secured on a stereotaxic frame. A microdialysis probe was implanted into the FrCx and perfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid at a flow rate of 2 microL x min(-1). One hour later, mice were administrated (ip) with tramadol hydrochloride (50 mg x kg(-1)) and dialysates were collected continuously at 12-min intervals (24 microL each) for 6 h. The tramadol concentration in dialysates was determined by HPLC-Ultraviolet detection method, and the concentration-time curve and pharmacokinetic parameters of tramadol were calculated with DAS software. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic process of tramadol in the FrCx extracellular fluid of mice was fitted to a two-compartment open model, and the main pharmacokinetic parameters t1/2alpha, t1/2beta, t(max), C(max) and AUC(0-infinity) were (0.27 +/- 0.05) h, (2.72 +/- 0.24) h, (0.50 +/- 0.10) h, (2 110.37 +/- 291.22) microg x L(-1) and (4 474.51 +/- 441.79) microg x L(-1) x h, respectively. In conclusion, a studying method for pharmacokinetics of drugs in the target organ is established, which is simple and feasible. Tramadol hydrochloride shows a two-compartment model in the extracellular fluid of the mouse FrCx, and the distribution- and elimination half-life are 0.5 h and 2.7 h, respectively.

Objective To compare the result differences of different dynamic nerves transferring to different segments of the radial nerve. Methods From 1997 to 2000, different ways of intercostal nerves or contralataral C 7 transfering to different segments of the radial nerves were carried out in 36 cases with total avulsed brachial plexus injuries that were followed up for average 42.39 months. Four-fold table was selected to statistically calculate the effective rate of muscle strength recovery. Results The total effective rate was 56% (20/36). The effective rate of the functional rehabilitation of elbow extension was 5/8 in the group with neurotization to radial nerve trunk and 4/4 in the group with neurotization to branches innervating the triceps brachii muscle of radial nerve. The highest effective rate up to 75% (9/12) of the functional rehabilitation of wrist and digit extension belonged to the group with contralateral C 7 transferring to the radial nerve segment in the humeral spiral groove where branches innervating the triceps brachii muscle had already diverged. Conclusions The way of neurotization to radial nerve trunk and to branches innervating the triceps brachii muscle of the radial nerve can win good functional rehabilitation of elbow extension. Contralataral C 7 transfering to the radial nerve segment in the humeral spiral groove ranks the best way for function recovery of the wrist extension. Age below 30 years and operation interval less than 12 months are helpful for functional rehabilitation of the radial nerve.

Objective To investigate the causes of visual disability and to evaluate the curative effect of visual disability aids test paired for improving the visual function in the patients with visual disability.Methods By adopting the visual acuity disability rating standards in the 2006 second national disabled sampling survey,100 patients with visual disability undergoing fitting visual aids in the ophthalmology department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were selected.The causes of visual disability were identified by means of ophthalmological examinatiom at the same time wearing far or near low vision aids observed the improvement degree of eyesight.Results The first cause of visual disability was retinal disease(25.00％).In wearing the distant visual aids,the off-blindness rate was 94.59 ％ and the off-disability rate was 82.43 ％;after wearing the near visual aids,the cases of near visual acuity≥0.50 accounted for 92.31％.Conclusion Retinopathy is a leading cause of adult vision disability;the aids for visual disability in the patients with visual rehabilitation have remarkable curative effect,and can improve the quality of life in the patients with visual disability.

Objective:To evaluate whether urological patients at nutritional risk are at higher risk for complications after radical cystectomy than those not at nutritional risk .Methods:We performed a retro-spective observational study in the consecutive patients undergoing radical cystectomy between 2010 and 2013 .A total of 147 patients were enrolled in this study .The nutritional risk score was assessed preoper-atively by a specialized study nurse .The patients with NRS ( nutritional risk screening ,NRS2002) scores≥3 were considered to have nutritional deficiency .Postoperative complications were defined using the standardized Clavien-Dindo classification .Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the predictors of complications.Results:The patients aged ≥70 years(50.57%) were more prone to nutritional risk than those aged <70 years (31.67%, P=0.023).Of the 63 patients at nutritional risk, 39 (61.90%) presented with at least 1 complication compared with 29 of the 84 controls (34.52%, P=0 .001 ) .The patients at nutritional risk were at threefold risk for complications on binary Logistic analysis (OR=3.128,95%CI 1.538-6.361,P=0.002).The length of hospital stay of the patients at higher nutritional risk was longer than that of those without nutritional risk [(12.9 ±5.7) d vs.(10.4 ± 4.3) d, P=0.003].Conclusion:The patients aged ≥70 years are at higher nutritional risk than that of those aged <70 years .Patients at nutritional risk are more prone to complications after radical cystectomy .

The clinical data of 42 patients with impacted upper-ureteral calculi undergoing retroperitoneal laparoscopicureterolithotomy(RPLU)from January 2008toDecember 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.RPLU was successfully performed in 40 cases,and simultaneous laparoscopic electrocoagulation ablation was also performed in 11 cases complicated with ureteral inflammatory polyps.No massive bleeding occurred during the operations.The stone-free rate 3 d after operation was 100％,and no stone left as reviewed by kidney ureter bladder X-ray (KUB) and B-ultrasonography.During the follow-up of 3 to 24 months (mean 11 months),40 cases showed no stone recurrence and no ureteral stricture in KUB and B-ultrasonography.The hydronephrosis of all RPLU patients relieved.Results indicate that RPLU is a safe and effective minimally invasive operation for treatment of impacted upper-ureteral calculi.

The clinical data of 24 bladder cancer patients reoperated shortly after laparoscopic radical cystectomy were retrospectively analyzed.The reoperative reasons included intestinal injury,wound bleeding,intestinal anastomosis fistula,deep vein thrombosis,ileus and single-J tube slipping.All of them were cured after reoperation.The postoperative complications were infected incisional wound (n =2),urinary leakage (n =1) and pulmonary infection (n =1).All were cured by symptomatic treatments.The keys of reducing the rate of reoperation shortly after laparoscopic radical cystectomy included selecting indications strictly,standardizing operative procedures and adopting special measures.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of the surgical mode of immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IIBR) with silicone implants under subcutaneous tissue directly after the total mastectomy in breast cancer.Methods:Data of 53 patients who underwent (skin-sparing mastectomy, SSM) or (nipple-areola-complex-sparing mastectomy, NSM) combined with IIBR in Department of Breast Surgery, Maoming People’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups, 31 cases with the silicone implant placed in different anatomical locations of the chest wall, including subcutaneous tissue, and 22 cases with subpectoral space implantation followed NSM or SSM. The two groups were compared in terms of the short-term and long-term complications, as well as the aesthetic outcome. Within 12 months the local recurrence rate was collected to evaluate the treatment safety of the two groups preserving the thickness of subcutaneous adipose after NSM or SSM.Results:There was no nipple-areola-complex (NAC) or skin flap for both groups, and the time of removing the drainage tube had no significant difference ( P>0.05) . There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the short-term complications within 6 months (repeated local infection and unknown effusion occurrence) , the long-term complications after 6 months (local skin with wrinkles sign, prosthesis displacement, and grade III-IV capsular contracture ( P>0.05) . However, the subcutaneous tissue implant group were superior ( P<0.05) in cosmetic outcome because of the breast had better symmetry. What’s more, no local tumor recurrence occurred in either group within 12 months. Conclusions:IIBR of subcutaneous tissue implantation (without patches) is an economical, novel, safe, and effective surgical mode for breast reconstruction, and the key to this operation mode depends on quality control of surgical procedures and the thickness of skin flap ≥ 1cm covering silicone implants. However, due to the cases enrolled in this study is not enough and short follow-up time, further clinical studies are still needed.
