Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of the anterolateral thigh perforator flaps transplantation in repairing the wounds after radical resection of skin malignant tumors in the head, face, and neck.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From May 2020 to December 2023, 27 patients with skin malignant tumors in the head, face, and neck were admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of the First People's Hospital of Kashi Prefecture, including 19 males and 8 females, aged 53 to 89 years. There were 21 cases with squamous cell carcinoma and 6 cases with basal cell carcinoma. The wound area after radical resection of tumors was 9.0 cm×7.0 cm to 27.0 cm×21.5 cm. The wounds were repaired with the lobulated, combined, or various forms of combination of the anterolateral thigh perforator flaps, and the harvesting flap area in single donor site was 10.0 cm×8.0 cm to 27.0 cm×11.0 cm. The wounds in the flap donor sites were closed by suturing in 26 patients, while the wound in the flap donor site in 1 patient was repaired with medium-thickness skin graft in the lower leg. The survival of the flap, and the occurrence of vascular crisis and infection were observed after surgery. During follow-up after surgery, the tumor recurrence, shape and texture of the flaps, and the function and scar formation of the limbs where the donor site was located were observed.Results:Only one patient developed venous crisis of the flap 27 hours after surgery, and the flap survived after vascular exploration and reanastomosis of the vein; the flaps in the other patients survived after surgery. One patient had an infected effusion under the flap after surgery, which healed after dressing change. After 6-36 months of postoperative follow-up, no tumor recurrence was observed; the flap had good appearance, texture, and elasticity; the limb where the donor site was located functioned normally, with only linear scars left.Conclusions:For complex wounds after radical resection of skin malignant tumors in the head, face, and neck, different forms of anterolateral thigh perforator flaps can be used to repair the wounds according to the condition of the wounds, and the wounds in the recipient sites heal well after surgery, with minimal damage to the donor site.

Objective To investigate the similarities and differences in the pathophysiological responses caused by different infection sites in sepsis patients and to evaluate the clinical significance of the source of infection on the prognosis of patients.Methods A total of 159 patients with a clear source of infection in Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 1,2021 to January 1,2023 were selected and divided into survival group(n=98)and death group(n=61)based on their survival status within 28 days.The independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of sepsis patients were determined by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.The 28-day mortality rates of different infection source groups were compared,and the distribution differences of serum biomarkers in different infection source groups were explored by analysis of variance.Results Among the 159 patients,the frequency of infection source distribution was as follows in descending order:Respiratory tract(62.89％),urinary tract(13.84％),abdomen(13.21％),skin and soft tissue(10.06％).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age,procalcitonin,sepsis-related organ failure assessment score,and respiratory tract infection source were significant risk factors affecting the 28-day mortality of sepsis patients(P＜0.05).Different infection source groups showed different degrees of differences in inflammation,coagulation,and organ dysfunction,with heterogeneity.Conclusion The differences in the source of infection lead to significant differences in the pathophysiological features(inflammatory response,coagulation activation,and organ dysfunction)and short-term prognosis(28-day mortality)of sepsis.

Objective:To construct a rat model of hypothalamic obesity by two point electrical damage to the ventromedial hypothalamus and arcuate nucleus.Methods:Twenty adult male SD rats of SPF grade were randomly divided into experimental group and sham operation group.A 25GA (0.45 mm) solid iron needle was used, the needle was coated with an insulating layer, and the tip exposed a 0.5 mm conductive area.With reference to The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates and using the stereotactic instrument (AP: -2.6 mm, ML: ± 0.6 mm, DV: -9.6 mm) as the coordinate, 1.5 mA current was continuously applied for 25 s, the ventromedial nucleus (VMH) and arcuate nucleus (ARC) of bilateral brain in SD rats was damaged.During the experiment, the body weight(BW), food intake(FI) and water intake(WI) of the two groups were recorded regularly.The rats were sacrificed on the 28th day after the operation, and the changes of periprenal fat mass and body length were measured.The changes of liver and adipose tissue were detected by HE staining method, leptin by ELISA, leptin receptor(LEPR) by Western blot.Results:(1) The body weight of rats in the experimental group ((427.5±17.7)g) and weight gain ((208.5±14.8)g) were significantly increased compared with the rats in the control group((349.2±17.7)g), ((136.2±21.4)g)on the 28th day after operation ( t=7.661, 6.806, both P<0.001). (2) The daily food intake of rats in the experimental group ((44.2±6.6)g) on the 28th day after surgery was significantly higher than that in the control group ((23.0±3.6)g) ( t=6.918, P<0.001). There was no significant difference of the daily drinking water of rats between experimental group((37.5±12.1)ml) and the control group ((35.0±11.8)ml) ( t=0.361, P=0.726). (3) Perikidney fat mass of experimental group rats ((13.4±2.7)g) significantly increased 28 days after operation compared with control group rats((6.3±0.9)g)( t=4.250, P<0.05). The naso-anal length of experimental group((21.8±0.4)cm) was significantly decreased compared with the control group ((23.4±0.2)cm) ( t=-6.788, P<0.01). The Lee index of the experimental group (348.9±8.5) was significantly higher than that of the control group(305.5±4.3)( t=7.898, P<0.01). (4) The serum leptin content ((8 324.10±159.00)μg/L) of the experimental group rats at 28 days after surgery was significantly higher than that of the control group((2 705.31±407.10)μg/L) ( t=25.712, P<0.001). The lateral hypothalamus area (LHA) LEPR protein expression (1.3±0.1) in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (0.9±0.1) ( t=4.932, P<0.01). Conclusion:Two-point electrical damage to bilateral VMH and ARC of rats can establish hypothalamic obese rat model.

The length of cervical canal was monitored by perineal ultrasonography in 377 pregnant women with 22 to 36 weeks of gestation,at the same time the contents of fibronectin (fFN) in cervical secretions were measured.The rate of cervical canal length shortening from the time of first visit to the appearance of preterm signs was calculated.When the cervical length shortening rate was 16％ ～ 60％,fFN (+) was correlated with higher preterm birth rate (P ＜0.01),while when the shorten rate ＞ 60％ there was no significant difference in preterm delivery rate between fFN (+) and fFN (-) groups (P ＞ 0.05).The results indicate that the monitoring of cervical canal length combined with fiberonectin measurement in cervical secretion may better predict pretenn birth.

Objective: To observe the influence of acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36) and Xuanzhong (GB 39) on cerebral vasomotoricity of ischemic stroke and its possible mechanism.Methods: All the appropriate cases were randomly divided into treatment and control groups with 80 cases in each group. The routine treatment of cerebral apoplexy was given to the two groups. Zusanli (ST 36) and Xuanzhong (GB 39) were added to the treatment group. The change of velocity of blood blow of the cerebral central artery was observed by transfrontal Doppler ultrasound detecting method before and after treatment to evaluate the cerebral basomotoricity of the patients. Results: The cerebral vasomotoricity in the treatment group was greatly improved compared with pre-treatment (P＜0.05) and there was a significant difference compared with the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36) and Xuanzhong (GB 39) could obviously improve the cerebral vosomotoricity of the patients with cerebral ischemic stroke, which might be one of the action mechanisms of acupuncture treatment for cerebral ischemic stroke.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Plantago asiatica L. on antioxidation in rats. Methods: The antioxidative enzymes and LPO of serum, heart, and liver tissues were determined. Results: The activities of superoxide (SOD) in serum and heart were significantly lower than that of the control. The lipid peroxide (LPO) level in serum and heart was markedly higher than that of the control. Serum and liver catalase (CAT) activities in rats fed with high fat were decreased. Activities of liver glutathione peroxidase (GSH Px) in high fat rats were decreased significantly. The production of SOD activities in serum and liver and GSH Px in liver were increased significantly in rats maintained on Plantago asiatica L. supplemented diets, meanwhile serum and heart LPO were reduced. Conclusion: 15g/kg Plantago asiatica L. can increase the antioxidation against lipid peroxide in hyperlipidemic rats.
