By combining the origin and research progress of the combination of disease and syndrome, the core pathogenesis, this article explored the research ideas and methods of the core pathogenesis of TCM. It is found that modern TCM is mostly guided by the idea of classification-staging-syndrome differentiation, the main prescription of the main disease, the special prescription of the special disease, and the idea of "dynamic-fixed sequential". The tongue image syndrome differentiation method, clustering analysis method, drug test syndrome method, compound pathogenesis method, "evidence-based pathogenesis-syndrome treatment system" research model, and the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine theory were used to explore the core pathogenesis of TCM under the condition of disease. Combined with the advantages of modern medical disease differentiation and TCM syndrome differentiation, the individualized diagnosis and treatment methods of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine have been continuously improved, in order to solve the stage contradictions of different clinical stages, effectively delay the progression of the disease and improve the prognosis of the disease.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect on the treatment of radiation induced deep ulcers in the inguinal region with ipsilateral anterolateral thigh chimeric perforator flap.Methods:From March 2020 to March 2024, retrospective analysis of 8 patients with radiation induced deep ulcers in the inguinal region were treated with ipsilateral anterolateral thigh chimeric perforator flap in the Medical Centre of Burn Plastic and Wound Repair, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University. All ulcers induced by radiation were caused by postoperative radiotherapy in the inguinal region, of which 4 were of vulvar or penile cancer, 2 of urinary tract tumour, 1 of inguinal protuberant dermatofibrosarcoma and 1 of myofibroblastic sarcoma in lower abdominal wall. The course of the radiation induced ulcer was 0.5-11.0 years, with an average of 2.9 years. The sizes of the ulcerative wound were 2.5 cm × 3.0 cm - 5.5 cm × 7.5 cm. Preoperative biopsies of the tissues around wound and pelvic CT scans were performed to preliminarily exclude a tumour recurrence or an ulcerative malignancy, as well as to confirm the depth of radiation ulcer. The wound size after debridement was 4.5 cm × 6.0 cm-13.5 cm × 19.0 cm, with a depth of 2.0-4.0 cm. An ipsilateral anterolateral thigh chimeric perforator flap was transferred to reconstruct the wound, after the wound edges were cleared from tumour through intraoperative frozen section examinations. The flaps were 5.5 cm × 7.0 cm - 14.0 cm × 20.0 cm in size, with the volumes of muscle flap at 7.0 cm × 4.0 cm × 3.0 cm - 14.0 cm × 7.0 cm × 3.0 cm. After having the deep defect at the base of wound filled with a muscle flap, the wound surface was covered by the flap. Four patients had direct suture of the donor sites and 4 received a thick skin graft of head or contralateral thigh grafting. Survival of the anterolateral thigh chimeric perforator flaps and the healing of donor sites were observed after surgery through scheduled postoperative follow-up by the visits of outpatient clinic and distant interviews via telephone, WeChat or the internet hospital.Results:One of the ipsilateral anterolateral thigh chimeric perforator flaps had venous occlusion within 24 hours after surgery. Emergency surgical exploration revealed that it was caused by a haematoma compression due to haemorrhage in the muscle flap. Further debridement, haemostasis and suture were performed, then the wound healed. The rest of 7 flaps all survived. All donor sites healed primarily. The postoperative follow-up lasted for 5-17 months with all of the 8 patients, at 8.4 months in average. Both the donor and recipient sites healed well without recurrence of radiation ulcer in the affected sites. The appearance and texture of the flaps were good, and there was no obvious functional impairment at the donor sites.Conclusion:The treatment of radiation induced deep ulcer in the inguinal region with an ipsilateral anterolateral thigh chimeric perforator flap has shown good results, without recurrence of ulcer after surgery. The appearance and texture of the affected sites are good, and there is no secondary functional impairment at the donor site.

For centuries, people have been searching for ways to reconstruct the mutilated thumb and fingers. Among the hundreds of operation methods that have appeared, the method of toe transplantation to reconstruct the thumb and fingers, which appeared in the second half of the 19 th century, had the best effect. However, due to the limitation of technical level at that time, only the pedicled toe could be transplanted to reconstruct the thumb and fingers. During the treatment period, the patient was in an inappropriate position where the hand and foot were fixed together for a long time, and the nerve was not repaired, so the thumb and fingers reconstructed after surgery had poor feeling. Therefore, it has not been widely used. It was not until 1966 when Yang Dongyue succussed in reconstructing the thumb using a free toe transplant with blood vessel anastomosis that toe transplantation gradually became the mainstream method of thumb and finger reconstruction. The appearance and function of the thumb and finger reconstructed by toe transplantation are still very different from that of the normal thumb and finger. Moreover, when multiple thumbs and fingers are defective, the transplantation of multiple toes for repair will cause great damages to the foot, so it is not suitable to reconstruct more than three thumb and fingers using toes in the same period. In 2007, Wang Zengtao proposed the concept of "full-finger reconstruction of thumb and fingers" and a series of new operation methods: new fingers were designed and assembled by means of using a variety of tissue combination assembly, which changed the traditional method of toe transplantation to reconstruct thumb and fingers, and the method of replacing thumb and fingers by toes was changed to manufacturing new thumb and fingers so that the toes could be retained and the thumb and fingers could be reconstructed with approximately normal shape and function. In recent years, the concept and series of new operation methods of thumb and finger reconstruction have been popularized at home and abroad. This paper focuses on the development of full-finger reconstruction of thumb and fingers.

This article reports a 31-year old male who was treated in the Department of Hand, Foot and Reconstructive Microsurgery, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University. Comprehensive procedures were carried out in 4 surgeries. The first surgery was carried on 19th November, 2022, and the final surgery was performed on 24th February, 2024. The patient was found with a shortened thumb and segmental missing in index and middle fingers, all had been left from the primary digital replantation surgery. Reconstruction surgery were performed to reconstruct the grade V defect of index finger, grade Ⅲ defect of middle finger, lengthening in thumb and release of the contracted first web by transfer of a free medial plantar flap. All the toes were preserved. At 2 months after surgery, the thumb and reconstructed fingers were in natural appearance with normal length compared with the contralateral digits. The range of motion (ROM) of the transferred proximal interphalangeal joint of index finger was 80°(5°-85°), and the total ROM of index finger was 180°. The patient had regained good function of right hand and was able to fulfill the requirements of daily life and work.
