Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of free chimeric bone flap pedicled with superficial palmar branch of radial artery in reconstruction of partial finger with composite tissue defect.Methods:From July, 2018 to January, 2020, 9 cases of compound tissue defect of fingers were reconstructed by free transfer of chimeric bone flap pedicled with superficial palmar branch of radial artery. The wrist transverse striated flap and distal radius bone flap pedicled with superficial palmar branch of radial artery were harvested in operations. The size of flap were 2.0 cm × 4.0 cm -3.0 cm × 6.5 cm, and the length of bone flaps were 1.5-2.5 cm. All patients entered monthly follow-up by clinic visit in 6 months after the surgery, and thereafter by WeChat interviews.Results:All of the 9 chimeric bone flaps survived well. The average healing time of bone flap was 1.7 months, and the average length of reconstructed finger was 2.4(1.8-3.0) cm; The appearance of the affected fingers restored well, the scars of the donor sites were mild, and average of the TPD of the flaps was 6.6(5.3-8.6) mm at 6 months after the surgery. The function of the affected finger was evaluated according to the Trial Standard of the Upper Limb Function Evaluation proposed by the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association: excellent in 7 cases, good in 1 case and medium in 1 case.Conclusion:Free chimeric bone flap pedicled with superficial palmar branch of radial artery can be used in reconstruction of the soft tissue and bone defects of fingers at the same time. It restores the functional length of fingers, improves the function and appearance of fingers, with less damage to the donor site. It is a simple method for reconstruction of finger defects.

The current document is based on a consensus reached by a panel of experts from the Chinese Society of Allergy and the Chinese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology Group. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects approximately 8% of Chinese adults. The inflammatory and remodeling mechanisms of CRS in the Chinese population differ from those observed in the populations of European descent. Recently, precision medicine has been used to treat inflammation by targeting key biomarkers that are involved in the process. However, there are no CRS guidelines or a consensus available from China that can be shared with the international academia. The guidelines presented in this paper cover the epidemiology, economic burden, genetics and epigenetics, mechanisms, phenotypes and endotypes, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, management, and the current status of CRS in China. These guidelines—with a focus on China—will improve the abilities of clinical and medical staff during the treatment of CRS. Additionally, they will help international agencies in improving the verification of CRS endotypes, mapping of eosinophilic shifts, the identification of suitable biomarkers for endotyping, and predicting responses to therapies. In conclusion, these guidelines will help select therapies, such as pharmacotherapy, surgical approaches and innovative biotherapeutics, which are tailored to each of the individual CRS endotypes.

Objective:To evaluate the performance of Hybribio human papillomavirus (HPV) typing test kit for high risk HPV-DNA typing detection in screening of cervical precancer lesions.Methods:A total of 9 914 women were recruited in Henan, Shanxi, and Guangdong provinces from June to July 2017. All women underwent HPV DNA test. The women who diagnosed as HPV positive and cytological examination ≥ atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or HPV negative and cytological examination≥low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) underwent colposcopy biopsy and pathological examination. Using the pathological diagnosis as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and 95% confidence interval ( CI) of high-risk HPV and HPV16/18 tests were calculated. Results:The mean age of 9 914 subjects was (45.0±9.3) years old. Among them, 1 302 subjects were detected as high risk HPV positive, including 211 of HPV16 positive and 64 of HPV18 positive. According to the pathological gold standard of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) or worse, the sensitivity and specificity of high risk-HPV and HPV 16/18 for triaging ASCUS women were 90.6% (95% CI: 75.8%-96.8%) and 78.0% (95% CI: 74.5%-81.2%) as well as 56.3% (95% CI: 39.3%-71.8%) and 95.7% (95% CI: 93.8%-97.1%), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of high risk-HPV and HPV 16/18 for cervical precancer lesions screening were 95.1% (95% CI: 88.1%-98.1%) and 87.6% (95% CI: 86.9%-88.2%) as well as 65.9% (95% CI: 55.1%-75.2%) and 97.8% (95% CI: 97.5%-98.1%), respectively. Conclusions:The Hybribio HPV test kit has a relative high sensitivity and specificity for cervical precancer lesions screening and ASCUS triaging. It is reliable for HPV DNA detection and cervical cancer screening.

Objective To investigate the middle-term clinical and radiological outcomes of self-locking and zero-profile cages for the treatment of multi-segmental cervical spondylosis in elderly patients through anterior decompression and fusion approach.Methods A total of 39 old patients with multi-segmental cervical spondylosis who received anterior cervical decompression and internal fixation with self-locking and zero-profile cages from January 2013 to January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.The operation time,intraoperative bleeding volume and post-operational complications were recorded.The functions of cervical spine before and 1-month,1-year,the last follow-up after treatment were evaluated by using the neck pain visual analogue scale(VAS) score,the Japanese orthopedic association (JOA)score and neck disability index (NDI)score.The subjective satisfaction at the final follow-up was evaluated by using Odom's criteria.The whole cervical spine curvature,the range of motion of cervical spine,the height of fused segment,Cobb angle of fused segment,C2～C7 line of force at sagittal view,Cage sedimentation rate and fusion rate before and 1-month and 1-year and the last follow-up after treatment were evaluated by using X-ray and CT and compared between the two groups.Results All patients were followed up,and the mean follow-up time was(35.0±5.3)months(24-48 months).The average operation time was(110.0±21.3)min(85-180 min).The average intraoperative bleeding volum was (50.3 ± 10.6)ml (20-150 ml).There were significant differences in JOA and NDI scores before versus at 1-month,1-year and the final follow-up after treatment(F=9.93 and 28.21,P=0.001 and 0.001).The VAS score of neck pain was lower at 1-month,1-year follow-up than at pre-treatment(P＜0.05),while there were no significant differences in VAS score before treatment versus at the final treatment(P＞0.05).The fineness rate by the Odom criteria was 84.6 ％ (33/39 cases)at the final follow-up.The whole cervical spine curvature,the height of fused segment,the Cobb angle of fused segment and C2-C7 line of force at sagittal view were significantly improved at 1-month,1-year and the final follow-up versus pre-treatment(P＜0.05).The improvements in whole cervical spine curvature and the height of fused segment were lost in some degree with the time extension of follow-up,and the degree of improvements losing was higher at the final follow-up than at 1-year follow-up.At last follow up and in all of patients,the rate of segment fusion were 87.2 ％ (102/117 cases) and Cage sedimentation rate was still 21.4 ％ (25/117 cases).Conclusions Self-locking and zero-profile cages can shorten the operation time,reduce the incidence of postoperative dysphagia,and have good clinical efficacy and fusion rate.But the improvements in cervical spine curvature and the height of fused segement are gradually lost,and the cage has a subsidence in some degree in the middle-term follow-up.Thus,a comprehensive consideration is still needed when choosing self-locking and zero-profile cages for clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the safety of morphine hydrochloride injection. Methods Ear verin injection was used to evaluate the vascular irritation using the comparison of left side with right side in rabbits. Quadriceps femoris injection was used to evaluate the muscle irritation using the comparison of left side with right side in rabbits. Guinea pigs were intravenously injected with morphine hydrochloride injection at a dose of 2.8 mg·kg-1 once daily 3 times, stimulation was performed on 14 d after the last sensitization and the booster dose was 2 times the sensitization dose. The allergic reactions were observed. The different concentrations of morphine hydrochloride injection were placed in 2％ rabbit erythrocyte suspension, and then the hemolyzation and agglutination were observed. Results There were no significant vascular or muscular irritation and injury effects of morphine hydrochloride injection in rabbits. There were no evidenceof hemolyzation and agglutination in rabbit erythrocytes in vitro. No allergic reactions on guinea pigs in vivo were observed. Conclusion After treatment of morphine hydrochloride injection, neither obvious vascular /muscle stimulation or sensitization, nor hemolyzation or agglutination appeared in rabbits. The research results provide basic reference for the clinical rational and safe application of morphine hydrochloride injection.
