Objective:To investigate the clinical application effect of absorbable plates in the treatment of children with craniosynostosis.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of patients with congenital craniosynostosis who were treated in the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery, Children’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2019 to October 2022. Preoperatively, three dimensional CT scan of the skull was performed in order to make a frontal and orbital model. All patients underwent traditional fronto-orbital reconstruction with skull flaps. With the assistance of the frontal and orbital model, the skull flap were rotated and shaped, and then absorbable plates and screws were used for internal fixation under direct vision. Postoperative follow-up observations were conducted on the complications such as infection, incision dehiscence, foreign body reactions of absorbable plates, and the stability of the skull flap.Results:A total of 12 patients were enrolled, 9 males and 3 females, aged 3-17 months, with an average of 11.3 months. There were 7 cases of unilateral coronal craniosynostosis, 3 cases of unilateral coronal craniosynostosis, and 2 cases of Apert syndrome. All cases underwent operation uneventfully, the operation time was 2.8-4.5 hours with an average of 3.6 hours. Follow-up ranged from 13 to 32 months (average, 24.5 months). One patient experienced incision dehiscence 45 days after surgery, which healed after conservative management. The remaining patients had no infections, hematomas, or other complications. All patients had visible and palpable raised masses at the site of absorbable plate implantation in 3-5 months after surgery, which gradually resolved in 10-15 months after surgery.The head shape of patients with craniosynostosis had been significantly improved after surgery, and follow-up CT scans of the skull revealed no displacement of the skull flaps and good osteogenesis.Conclusion:The use of absorbable plates for internal fixation in children with craniosynostosis can achieve stable fixation effects with few complications, and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

ObjectiveBased on ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbital trap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS）， to identify the in vivo and in vitro chemical components of total phenolic acids in Gei Herba（TPAGH）， and to clarify the pharmacological effects and potential mechanisms of the effective part in promoting acute wound healing and inhibiting scar formation. MethodsUPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS was used to identify the chemical components of TPAGH and ingredients absorbed in vivo after topical administration. A total of 120 ICR mice were randomly divided into the model group， recombinant human epidermal growth factor（rhEGF） group（4 mg·kg^-1）， and low， medium， and high dose groups of TPAGH（3.5， 7， 14 mg·kg^-1）， with 24 mice in each group. A full-thickness skin excision model was constructed， and each administration group was coated with the drug at the wound site， and the model group was treated with an equal volume of normal saline， the treatment was continued for 30 days， during which 8 mice from each group were sacrificed on days 6， 12， and 30. The healing of the wounds in the mice was observed， and histopathological changes in the skin tissues were dynamically observed by hematoxylin-eosin（HE）， Masson， and Sirius red staining， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to dynamically measure the contents of interleukin-6（IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， vascular endothelial growth factor A（VEGFA）， matrix metalloproteinase（MMP）-3 and MMP-9 in skin tissues. Network pharmacology was used to predict the targets related to the promotion of acute wound healing and the inhibition of scar formation by TPAGH， and molecular docking of key components and targets was performed. Gene Ontology（GO） biological process analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis were carried out for the related targets， so as to construct a network diagram of herbal material-compound-target-pathway-pharmacological effect-disease for further exploring its potential mechanisms. ResultsA total of 146 compounds were identified in TPAGH， including 28 phenylpropanoids， 31 tannins， 23 triterpenes， 49 flavonoids， and 15 others， and 16 prototype components were found in the serum of mice. Pharmacodynamic results showed that， compared with the model group， the TPAGH groups showed a significant increase in relative wound healing rate and relative scar inhibition rate（P<0.05）， and the number of new capillaries， number of fibroblasts， number of new skin appendages， epidermal regeneration rate， collagen deposition ratio， and Ⅲ/Ⅰ collagen ratio in the tissue were significantly improved（P<0.05， 0.01）， the levels of IL-6， TNF-α， MMP-3 and MMP-9 in the skin tissues were reduced to different degrees， while the level of VEGFA was increased. Network pharmacology analysis screened 10 core targets， including tumor protein 53（TP53）， sarcoma receptor coactivator（SRC）， protein kinase B（Akt）1， signal transducer and activator of transcription 3（STAT3）， epidermal growth factor receptor（EGFR） and so on， participating in 75 signaling pathways such as advanced glycation end-products（AGE）-receptor for AGE（AGE/RAGE） signaling pathway， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase（PI3K）/Akt signaling pathway， mitogen-activated protein kinase（MAPK） signaling pathway. Molecular docking confirmed that the key components genistein， geraniin， and casuariin had good binding ability to TP53， SRC， Akt1， STAT3 and EGFR. ConclusionThis study comprehensively reflects the chemical composition of TPAGH and the absorbed components after topical administration through UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS. TPAGH significantly regulates key indicators of skin healing and tissue reconstruction， thereby clarifying its role in promoting acute wound healing and inhibiting scar formation. By combining in vitro and in vivo component identification with network pharmacology， the study explores how key components may bind to targets such as TP53， Akt1 and EGFR， exerting therapeutic effects through related pathways such as immune inflammation and vascular regeneration.
