Objective:To develop a grading system for necrosis of pedicled flaps in reconstruction of foot and ankle, and to verify its effectiveness and repeatability.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. A total of 40 necroses of foot and ankle pedicled flaps were selected by 2 senior surgeons based on the flap surgery performed by the same surgical group in Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, the 920 Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from January 2010 to January 2022. A grading system for pedicled flap necrosis was proposed by a working group and the 40 necrotic flaps were graded. The coincidence rate was calculated to evaluate the effectiveness of the grading system through correlation studies between grading and clinical treatment. One photo of a typical postoperative necrotic flap was collected from each of the 40 flaps. Then 5 extramural surgeons were asked to grade the necroses shown on the photos according to the proposed grading system. Moreover, weighted Kappa analysis was performed on the results of proposed grading system and also on the standard grading currently in use, to evaluate the repeatability of the proposed grading system. Evaluated data were expressed by Mean±SD, and the coincidence rate was expressed by percentage. The reproducibility was studied by weighted Kappa analysis.Results:Of the 40 necrotic flaps, 7 flaps were classified in Grade I, 16 in Grade Ⅱ, 12 in Grade Ⅲ and 5 in Grade IV. In comparison with the actual treatment methods, the overall coincidence rate of the grading system was 92.5%. It indicated that the proposed grading system could effectively guide the selection of a treatment procedure. The average weighted Kappa coefficient of surgeons was at 0.628 with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI) between 0.460-0.796, which was strongly consistent with the standard of the grading system currently in use.Conclusion:The grading system for necrosis of pedicled flap in reconstruction of foot and ankle proposed in this study is simple and clear. It is able to effectively guide the treatment of flap necrosis. The preliminary validation shows that the classification system has good repeatability.

A middle-aged male came to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for treatment because of "pain for 10+ years, aggravated with emotional instability for 5 years". The patient's pain had a huge impact on life, with poor results even after repeated diagnosis and treatment in other hospitals. After multi-disciplinary discussion, it had been clarified that the pain was mainly caused by gout. The disease was heavily influenced by psychosocial factors. Therefore, the patient fits the diagnosis of "Psychological and Behavioral Factors Affecting Physical Diseases". The multi-disciplinary comprehensive management of the patient was carried out to identify and treat psychological factors affecting other medical conditions. After this mental treatment was performed, the patient's conditions significantly improved. The diagnosis and treatment of this patient demonstrates the importance of the multi-disciplinary treatment team for somatic symptoms (disorders).

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of combined surgical and high-frequency electro-acupuncture treatment for aesthetic restoration in children with eyelid split nevus.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of children treated for eyelid split nevus in the Plastic Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 2019 to December 2023. All cases underwent combined surgical excision and high-frequency electro-acupuncture vaporization. Surgical removal was used for nevi with significant pigmentation and deep involvement, and high-frequency electro-acupuncture was simultaneously applied to vaporize residual superficial pigmentation layer by layer based on the depth of the pigmentation. The wounds were repaired using either direct suturing or local flap transfer. Postoperative management included the application of growth factors and anti-scar treatments. Postoperative healing, adverse effects, and pigment clearance rate (categorized as healed, significant effect, improved, or ineffective) were observed by comparsons of the pre-treatment and the last follow-up photographs. Eyelid function, appearance, and scar hypertrophy were assessed during follow-up, and family satisfaction (categorized as very satisfied, satisfied, or dissatisfied) was surveyed via telephone.Results:Five children were included, with one male and four females aged between 2 and 10 years (average 7 years). Pigment areas ranged from 0.3 cm × 0.5 cm to 1.7 cm × 1.1 cm, with surgical excision areas from 0.3 cm × 0.4 cm to 1.5 cm × 1.1 cm. All children had good wound healing without complications such as infection, flap ischemic necrosis, wound dehiscence or bleeding. The pigment clearance rate was over 90%, achieving a healed effect. During the follow-up of 14 to 48 months (average 24.2 months), all patients had normal eyelid function without difficulties in opening or closing the eyes, or epiphora. The eyelid appearance was satisfactory without asymmetry, ptosis, ectropion or hypertrophic scars. The aesthetic outcomes and functionality of the eyelids were ideal, and satisfaction was generally rated as very satisfied.Conclusion:Surgical removal combined with high-frequency electro-acupuncture is beneficial for preserving aesthetic appearance while pigmentation in children with eyelid split nevus is removed, offering a new treatment option.

Objective:To investigate the intention to stay on among primary health care workers (PHWs) during the COVID-19 epidemics and its influencing factors.Methods:An online questionnaire survey was conducted among PHWs from 62 primary health institutions in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across China selected by multi-stage whole cluster random sampling method between May and October 2022. According to the job position, the PHWs were divided into 5 categories: general practitioners (GPs), nurses, public health doctors, managers and support staff. Intention to stay was measured using the Chinese version of the Intention to Stay Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of the intention to stay in PHWs of different occupational categories, including personal factors, work factors, factors related to the COVID-19 and psychological reactions.Results:A total of 3 769 PHWs from 44 community health service centers, 18 township hospitals of 27 provinces/autonomous regions and 4 municipalities participated in this survey. The mean age of participants was (37.4±9.2) years, including 2 971(78.8%) women. The mean score of intention to stay of participants was 21.7±4.1. Compared with GPs, managers had lower intention to stay ( P=0.004). Age, female, in marriage, monthly income, years of primary care service, self-evaluation of unit support function, MSQ-SF score, and PA score were positively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05), while PHQ-9 score, EE score, and DP score were negatively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05). The MSQ-SF scores of all occupational categories were positively correlated with the scores of intention to stay (all P<0.01). In addition, among GPs, monthly income, years of service in primary care, self-evaluation of unit support function, and PA scores were positively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05), while PHQ-9 scores and EE scores were negatively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05). Among nurses, age, female gender, monthly income, self-evaluation of unit support function, and PA score were positively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05), while EE scores and retention will score were negatively associated with ( P<0.001). Among public health doctors, in marriage was positively correlated with the score of intention to stay ( P=0.018). Among managers, DP score was negatively correlated with the score of intention to stay ( P=0.001). Among support staff, female gender, monthly income, years of primary care service, self-evaluation of unit support function, and PA scores were positively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05), while EE score and DP score were negatively correlated with intention to stay (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The intention to stay of PHWs in China during the COVID-19 was at an intermediate level, which was affected by many factors. Among them, job satisfaction was positively correlated with the intention to stay of all occupational categories, and the influencing factors of different occupational categories have some variations.

【Objective】 To investigate the efficacy of autologous ozoneized blood transfusion(AOBT) in improving consciousness and motor function in convalescent stroke patients. 【Methods】 A total of 44 patients who were diagnosed as convalescent cerebral apoplexy and received treatment in Rehabilitation Department of our hospital from August 2016 to September 2021 were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group by blind method. The experimental group (n=22) received general rehabilitation training (such as exercises, occupational therapy, acupuncture and transcranial magnetic stimulation) plus AOBT (200 mL venous phlebotomy at the median elbow), once every 2 to 3 days and 12 occasions as a course of treatment; the control group solely recieved general rehabilitation training. The consciousness (GCS score) and ability of daily living (Barthel index score) score of the two groups before and after treatment were statistically compared, and Ueda motor function grade, Brunnstrom stage and muscle tone grade were observed and evaluated. 【Results】 After the treatment, the experimental group and the control were compared as follows: 1) the GCS score and Barthel score was 14.82±0.39 vs 12.41±2.52, 61.14±12.24 vs 52.05±11.72(P<0.05); 2) The recovery rate of motor function was 95.45% (21/22) vs 63.64% (14/22) (P<0.05); 3) The total recovery rate of muscle tone was 90.91% (20/22) vs 63.64% (14/22) (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 AOBT, with somewhat high safety and effectiveness, can improve the state of consciousness, motor function and muscle tone in convalescent patients with stroke.

Objective:To introduce the concept and procedures of precise flap surgery in construction of knee defects and to report the preliminary clinical outcomes.Methods:The data of 16 patients with knee defects at 17 sides were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated under the guidance of the concept of precise flap surgery at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, The 920th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from August 2014 to March 2022. There were 12 males and 4 females, aged 44(34, 54) years. The wounds were at the left side in 8 cases, at the right side in 7 ones and at bilateral sides in one, and their sizes ranged from 5 cm×3 cm to 15 cm×11 cm. The time from injury to surgery was 8.5(6.0, 13.0) days. Optimal repair protocols were chosen after the donor and recipient sites were evaluated according to the methods of precise flap surgery: a retrograde anterolateral thigh flap in 7 sides, a descending genicular artery perforator flap in 3 ones, a saphenous artery flap in 2 ones, and a superior genicular lateral artery perforator flap, a popliteal artery perforator flap, a medial sural perforator propeller flap, a peroneal artery perforator propeller flap, and a randomized flap in one, respectively. The flap sizes ranged from 10 cm×6 cm to 15 cm×15 cm. The outcomes and complications of skin flap repair, and functional recovery of the affected limb were recorded.Results:All the flaps at 17 sides survived after surgery; 3 cases developed distal edge necrosis which responded to dressing change. The follow-ups for the 16 patients were 14.5(10.0, 28.0) months. All the flaps presented with good color, texture and contour. Flap bulking, local osteomyelitis, and scar ulcer was found in one case respectively. According to the revascularization assessments in the digital replantation criteria by Hand Surgery Society, Chinese Medical Association, all the flaps at 17 sides were excellent. Accoding to the knee functional evaluation of Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) at the last follow-up, the 17 affected limbs scored 86(80,91) points, yielding 9 excellent, 7 good and 1 fair sides.Conclusion:Although the defects and donor sites around the knee vary greatly, precise flap surgery may lead to effective control of the variations, choice of an optimal reconstruction protocol, and precise wound repair.

Objective Observation of the anti-inflammatory and detumescence effects on experimental rheumatoid arthritis(RA)rabbits by moxibustion,With lentiviral vector mediated NLRP3 overexpression in RA animal models,to investigate the effect of moxibustion on anti-CCP/RF levels in synovial fluid of RA rabbit joints and its regulation mechanism of NLRP3.Methods Randomly divided thirty Japanese big-ear white rabbits into 5 groups:group of blank,group of model,group of moxibustion,NLRP3 overexpression group and NLRP3 overexpression negative group,with 6 rabbits in each group.Both joint of the model group,and the groups with moxibustion was injected into FCA(0.5 mL·kg-1),the blank group used the same method to inject sterile saline.On the 3rd day and the 10th day after treatment,10 μL of NLRP3 overexpression lentiviral vector was injected into the joint cavity of the NLRP3 overexpression group of rabbits.The rabbits in the NLRP3 overexpression negative group were injected with the same amount of LvGFP as Contrast.moxibustion bilateral"BL23","ST 36"of the groups with moxibustion(5 cones with one point in a day.6 days for 1 course,1 day for rest,3 courses of treatment in total.)After treatment,observe the circumference of each rabbit's left and right knee joints,the content of RF,anti-CCP,IL-18 in synovial fluid was detected by ELISA.Results Compared with the blank group,the left and right knee joint circumferences in the model group increased,and the anti-CCP,RF,and IL-18 contents in the synovial fluid of the knee joint increased significantly(P<0.01);compared with the modle group,The circumference of the knee joint decreased,and the content of anti-CCP,RF and IL-18 decreased significantly(P<0.01);compared with the moxibustion group,the circumference of the left and right knee joints in the NLRP3 overexpression group increased(P<0.05),the content of anti-CCP,RF and IL-18 increased(P<0.05).Conclusions Moxibustion has anti-inflammatory effects on experimental RA rabbits.Moxibustion at Shenshu(BL23)and Zusanli(ST36)can significantly reduce the level of anti-CCP,RF the immune effector,also IL-18,the in synovial fluid of RA rabbits knee joint,yet this effect can be declined significantly under NLRP3 overexpression,suggesting that moxibustion performed its anti-inflammatory regulation by suppressing abnormal immune function in experimental RA rabbits,which may be closely related to the NLRP3 expression.

Objective To observe the effects of moxibustion on the expression of Nucleotide binding oligomeric domain like receptor thermoprotein domain associated protein 3(Nod-like receptor protein 3,NLRP3)inflammasome and Cysteine aspartate protease 12(Caspase-12)in synovial tissue of experimental Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA)rabbits,and explore the anti-inflammatory mechanism of moxibustion on RA rabbits.Methods Twenty-four Japanese big-eared white rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups according to body weight and sex:the control group,the model group and the moxibustion group.The Freund's Complete Adjuvant(FCA)was injected into the joint cavities of two knee joints of rabbits at the dose of 0.5 mL·kg-1 in the model group and the moxibustion group,and the control group was injected with the same amount of normal saline as control.For the moxibustion group,scar free moxibustion was operated at bilateral"BL 23"and"ST 36"acupoints,moxibustion for 3 times per acupoint per day,continuous treatment for 6 days,rest for 1 day,as a course of treatment,a total of 3 courses of treatment.The histological changes of synovium samples of rabbit knee joints were observed under light microscope,real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was used to detect the expression of NLRP3,Cysteine aspartate protease 1(Caspase-1),Caspase-12 in synovial tissues and Enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay(ELISA)was used to measure the change of Interleukin-1β(IL-1β)content in the synovial fluid of experimental animals.Results Compared with the control group,the degree of synovial lesions(inflammatory cell infiltration,synovial tissue hyperplasia,fibrous tissue hyperplasia,macrophage hyperplasia,etc.)and pathological score were increased(P<0.05),the expression of NLRP3,Caspase-1 mRNA were increased(P<0.05),the expression of Caspase-12 mRNA was significantly downregulated(P<0.01)and the expression content of IL-1β was significantly up-regulated(P<0.01)in the model group;Compared with the model group,the synovial lesion degree and pathological score were decreased(P<0.05),the expression of NLRP3,Caspase-1 mRNA were decreased(P<0.05),the expression of Caspase-12 mRNA was significantly increased(P<0.01)and the expression of IL-1β was decreased(P<0.05)in the moxibustion group.Conclusion Moxibustion can significantly inhibit the pathological process of knee synovitis in RA rabbits;Moxibustion at"Shenshu(BL 23)"and"Zusanli(ST 36)"acupoints can significantly up-regulate the expression of Caspase-12 and then inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome,which may be one of mechanisms of moxibustion to reduce RA inflammatory response.
