Objective: To analyze the current situation and related factors of physical exercise behavior among high school students, so as to provide theoretical basis for improving their health level. Methods: In May 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 17 high schools in the jurisdiction of Taizhou City. A total of 3 402 high school students were selected by class to conduct a survey on the prevalence and related factors of physical exercise behavior by Chinese Sports Activity Level Scale. And binary Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors. Results: Among the surveyed high school students, the rate of poor physical exercise behavior reached 53.4%. The rates of poor physical exercise behavior varied within the group in terms of gender, urban and rural areas, whether they were only children, maternal education, parental emotions, parental exercise habits, parenting styles, family income and academic performance were statistically significant (χ2=12.38, 11.73, 742.71, 28.86, 24.38, 39.98, 71.92, 33.34, 176.97, P<0.01). High school students of grade 3, female students, parents with low education, parents who occasionally and never exercise, intergenerational discipline, low family income, and average academic performance were the tendency factors for poor physical exercise behavior(OR=1.39, 1.18, 1.62, 1.30, 1.36, 2.21, 1.53, 1.46, 1.52, P<0.05). Conclusions The rate of poor physical exercise behavior among high school students in Taizhou City is relatively high and is affected by various factors such as age, gender, academic performance, and family background. It should actively reduce the impact of unfavorable factors, promote high school students to participate in physical exercise, and improve the health level of high school students.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of scalp flaps pedicled with superficial temporal artery parietal branch in repairing facial destructive burn wounds.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January 2016 to December 2021, 15 patients with facial destructive burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Zhengzhou First People's Hospital, including 11 males and 4 females, aged 22 to 79 years. Two patients were complicated with unilateral eyeball destructive burns, two patients were complicated with unilateral auricle defects, eight patients were complicated with lip and cheek defects, and three patients were complicated with lip, cheek, and unilateral nasal alar defects. The burn wound areas ranged from 9 cm×6 cm to 13 cm×10 cm. The scalp flaps pedicled with superficial temporal artery parietal branch, with the area of 10 cm×7 cm to 15 cm×11 cm, were designed, excised, and transferred for repairing burn wounds. The secondary wounds at the donor sites were repaired with medium-thickness scalp grafts. According to patient's needs, the hairs grew at the facial transplanted flap were removed by laser at 2 weeks after the flap was completely viable, or the expanded scalp flap was used to treat the secondary alopecia in the flap donor area of the head at 3 months after the primary wound repair. The survival of the flap/skin graft and the wound healing of the donor and recipient areas after the primary wound repair were recorded. During the follow-up, the appearance of the flap, the scar hyperplasia at the suture site, the repair effect of facial functional parts, the treatment effects of laser hair removal and secondary alopecia treatment at the flap donor site were observed; the patient's satisfaction with the overall repair effect was inquired.Results:After the primary wound repair, all the flaps transplanted to the burn wounds and the skin grafts transplanted to the secondary wounds of the flap donor sites survived well, and the wounds at the donor and recipient sites of flap healed well. The color, texture, and thickness of flap were basically the same as those of normal facial skin, and the scar at the suture site was slight during 3 to 18 months of follow-up period after the primary wound repair. In 11 patients complicated with lip defects, the oral integrity, and the opening and closing functions of mouth were restored with the mouth opening being 2.0-2.5 cm and no microstomia; all the patients could carry out basic language communication, 8 of them could take regular food, and 3 of them could take soft food. The wounds in two patients with unilateral eyeball destructive burns were repaired. In 2 patients complicated with auricle defects, the wounds were repaired, and the external auditory canals were normal. In 3 patients complicated with unilateral nasal alar defects, their noses had poor appearance with reduced nostrils. No hair growth was observed in the facial flap sites after treatment of laser hair removal in 8 patients. Five patients were successfully treated with expanded scalp flaps for secondary alopecia in the flap donor area of the head. The patients were all satisfied with the overall repair effect.Conclusions:The scalp flap pedicled with superficial temporal artery parietal branch has abundant blood supply and is suitable for repairing the wounds in facial destructive burns. It is easy to transfer and can better restore the appearance and function of the recipient area with minimal damage to the flap donor area, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To explore the effects of free gracilis muscle flap combined with sural nerve transfer for reconstruction of digital flexion and sensory function of hand in patient with severe wrist electric burn.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January 2017 to December 2020, 4 patients with wrist high-voltage electric burn admitted to the Department of Burns of the First People's Hospital of Zhengzhou and 4 patients with wrist high-voltage electric burn admitted to the Department of Hand Surgery of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital met the inclusion criteria, including 6 males and 2 females, aged 12 to 52 years. They were all classified as type Ⅱ wrist high-voltage electric burns with median nerve defect. In the first stage, the wounds were repaired with free anterolateral thigh femoral myocutaneous flap. In the second stage, the free gracilis muscle flap combined with sural nerve transplantation was used to reconstruct the digital flexion and sensory function of the affected hand in 3 to 6 months after wound healing. The cut lengths of muscle flap and nerve were 32 to 38 and 28 to 36 cm, respectively. The muscle flap donor area and nerve donor area were both closed and sutured. The survival condition of gracilis muscle flap and sural nerve, the wound healing time of recipient area on forearm, the healing time of suture in muscle flap donor area and nerve donor area were observed and recorded after operation, and the recovery of donor and recipient areas was followed up. In 2 years after operation, the muscle strength of thumb and digital flexion and finger sensory function after the hand function reconstruction were evaluated with the evaluation criteria of the hand tendon and nerve repair in the trial standard for the evaluation of functions of upper limbs of Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association.Results:All the gracilis muscle flap and sural nerve survived successfully after operation. The wound healing time of recipient area on forearm was 10 to 14 days after operation, and the healing time of suture in muscle flap donor area and nerve donor area was 12 to 15 days after operation. The donor and recipient areas recovered well. In the follow-up of 2 years after operation, the muscle strength of thumb and digital flexion was evaluated as follows: 4 cases of grade 5, 3 cases of grade 4, and 1 case of grade 2; the finger sensory function was evaluated as follows: 4 cases of grade S3 +, 2 cases of grade S3, and 2 cases of grade S2. Conclusions:For patients with hand dysfunction caused by severe wrist electric burn, free gracilis muscle flap combined with sural nerve transplantation can be used to reconstruct the digital flexion and sensory function of the affected hand. It is a good repair method, which does not cause great damage to thigh muscle flap donor area or calf nerve donor area.

Objective:To explore the technique and clinical effects of free medial plantar flap on reconstruction of the severe defect of thumb caused by electric burn.Methods:Surgical techniques and clinical effects were explored in reconstruction with free medial plantar flap for treatment of severe electric burns of thumbs. From July 2016 to July 2021, 18 patients suffered from severe electric burns of thumbs were admitted in the Department of Burn, Zhengzhou First People's Hospital. All the wounds were the entrance of electric burns. After thorough debridement, the arteries, nerves, tendons, phalanges and interphalangeal joints were exposed to various degrees. Damaged digital proper palmar arteries were ligated and defected proper palmar digital nerves were marked and further anastomosed with the nerves carried by the flap. Palmaris longus tendon grafts were employed to reconstruct the defects of flexor pollicis longus tendon. Wounds were closed by transfer of free medial plantar flaps, and the flap donor sites were closed by inguinal skin grafts. Survival of the flap was observed 1 week after surgery, and the survival of the skin graft in the foot donor site 12 days after surgery. Outpatient follow-up including observation of the appearance and texture of the flap, evaluation of sensory function, thumb alignment and finger flexion according to the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association. Evaluate the scar hyperplasia in the foot donor site and the standing and walking functions of the donor foot.Results:All flaps survived,at 1 week after surgery. On the 12th day after surgery, all 16 foot flap survived, and 2 patients had local necrosis, and the necrosis healed completely after dressing change for 10 days, the wound healed completely. Among them, 3 patients without tendon transfer experienced a rupture of the flexor pollicis longus tendon at 2 months after surgery, and underwent another palmaris longus tendon transfer. After the surgery, functional exercise was performed with the palm and flexor fingers. After 6-12 months of follow-up, the blood supply, appearance, and texture of the flap were good and similar to that of the palmar skin of the thumb, with varying degrees of recovery in sensation. The TPD was 6-11 mm, and the thumb was restored to varying degrees. According to the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, 13 cases in excellent and 5 cases in good. Mild scar hyperplasia remains in the flap site of donor feet, which does not affect the standing and walking functions of the donor foot.Conclusion:The texture of medial plantar skin is similar to that of palmar skin, with good wear resistance and good sensation. Furthermore, it causes a little damage to the donor site and without obvious complication. The medial plantar flap is ideal for reconstruction of a severe wound caused by electric burn in thumb.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of free anterolateral thigh flap combined with arterial vascular reconstruction on repairing high-voltage electrical burn wound of type Ⅱ and Ⅲ on the wrist.Methods:From May 2016 to February 2019, 25 patients with deep high-voltage electrical burn wounds on the wrist were admitted to Zhengzhou First People′s Hospital, including 23 males and 2 females, aged 11-63 years. Among them, 4 cases had bilateral electrical burns on the wrist, and 21 cases had unilateral electrical burns on the wrist. There were 29 wounds in 29 affected limbs with depth of full-thickness to full-thickness with tendon and bone exposure, and 17 wounds were type Ⅱ and 12 wounds were type Ⅲ. Twenty-four patients underwent CT angiography of the upper extremities before surgery, while the other one patient did not undergo the examination due to seafood allergy. There were no obvious injury to the ulnar and radial arteries in 7 affected limbs, simple ulnar artery injury in 6 affected limbs, simple radial artery injury in 7 affected limbs, and both ulnar and radial arteries injury in 9 affected limbs. The wound areas after debridement were 10 cm×7 cm-36 cm×17 cm, and the free anterolateral thigh flaps were obtained with area of 11 cm×8 cm-37 cm×18 cm for repairing the wounds. For patients with no damage of ulnar artery and radial artery, the trunk of descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery of the flap or combined with the thick muscle perforating branch or lateral branch was anastomosed with the ulnar or radial artery of the wound. For patients with simple ulnar artery or radial artery injury, the trunk, lateral branch, or medial branch was anastomosed with the ulnar artery or radial artery of the wound. For patients with long injury of ulnar artery and radial artery, the ulnar artery or radial artery of the wound was reconstructed with one of the above-mentioned methods, the injured artery that was not anastomosed was reconstructed with great saphenous vein, and the transplanted blood vessel was embedded in the lateral femoral muscle. The accompanying vein of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery of the flap was anastomosed with the accompanying vein of the ulnar artery or radial artery of the wound and/or the cephalic vein. The donor sites of flaps were sutured directly or repaired with split-thickness skin graft from the thigh. The survival condition of flap and affected limb after operation and during follow-up was observed, and hand function of the affected limb during follow-up was evaluated according to the evaluation standard after repair of peripheral nerve injury in upper limbs.Results:Fifteen affected limb wounds had tissue liquefaction but healed after second debridement on 14-28 days after flap repair operation. All 29 flaps survived in the end. One patient had long ulnar artery and radial artery injuries in affected limbs and the hand was necrotic due to second embolism of the blood vessel in 1 week post operation, and the remaining affected limbs survived. During the follow-up of 6 to 30 months after operation, the flaps were slightly bloated, the affected limbs were warm with normal blood flow, and finger flexion, wrist flexion, and sensory function of hand recovered to varying degrees. The functions of the survived affected limbs were evaluated as excellent in 8 affected limbs, good in 9 affected limbs, medium in 5 affected limbs, and poor in 6 affected limbs, with an excellent and good rate of 60.71%.Conclusions:The clinical effect of free anterolateral thigh flap combined with arterial vascular reconstruction is good for repairing high-voltage electrical burn wound on the wrist, and the patency restoration of the ulnar artery and/or radial artery of the upper limb in stage Ⅰ is helpful for improving the success rate of limb salvage.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of single pedicle transfer of expanded axial flap across the midline of the frontal-parietal region in reconstruction of large scar deformities in the face and neck.Methods:From January 2016 to August 2019, 10 male patients, aged from 20 to 52 years with post-burn facial and cervical scar deformities, were admitted to the First People′s Hospital of Zhengzhou, with the size of scar ranging from 15 cm×7 cm to 23 cm×11 cm. In the first stage, a cylindrical skin and soft tissue expander with rated capacity ranging from 400 to 600 mL was placed in the frontal-parietal region. Another cylindrical expander with rated capacity ranging from 50 to 100 mL was placed in the temporal region of the patient with scars in front of the ear and in cheek. The injection time was 3 to 5 months with the total injection volume being 1.5 to 2.5 times of the rated capacity of expander. In the second stage, the superficial temporal artery frontal branch and its branches were explored, the expander was removed, the scars in the face and neck were conducted resection and contracture relaxation, and the single pedicle transfer of expanded axial flap across the midline of the frontal-parietal region for reconstruction was performed. When the branches of the superficial temporal vessels were difficult to be detected by Doppler ultrasonic blood stream detector, the patient underwent computed tomography (CT) angiography and three-dimensional reconstruction. The donor site in frontal-parietal region was directly sutured, and the wound of the exposed donor site at the pedicle and temporal region was temporarily covered with scar skin. After the suture wound was healed and the hair in expanded flap grew out, hair removal and laser hair removal were performed. Three to four weeks after transplantation of expanded flap, the flap pedicle was cut off, restored, and trimmed in the third stage. The status about the completion of operation, the implantation of expander in the temporal region, CT angiography and three-dimensional reconstruction were recorded. The effective resection area of expanded flap, the length across the midline and the length of the pedicle, and the survival status of the expanded flap and complications after operation were observed. The appearance of donor and recipient sites, the scar recurrence, the appearance and function improvement of patients, and the satisfaction degree of patients were followed up.Results:All the 10 patients successfully completed three stages of operation, of which 6 patients had an auxiliary expander placement in the temporal region, and 5 patients underwent CT angiography and three-dimensional reconstruction. The effective resection area of expanded flap ranged from 18 cm×8 cm to 25 cm×13 cm. The distal end of the flap across the midline extended 4-6 cm to the opposite side, and the length of pedicle was 2-6 cm. All the expanded flaps of patients survived well after formation and transfer. The venous reflux disorder and obvious swelling occurred in 6 patients at the distal end of the flap after operation, and the blood supply recovered after acupuncture bloodletting, etc. Follow-up of 6 to 24 months showed that the color, texture, and thickness of the expanded flaps were similar to those of the facial skin, and no recurrence of scar was observed; the incision in the donor site of the frontal-parietal region was concealed, the hair growth of the temples and head was normal, and the reconstructed hairline was natural; compared with those before operation, the appearance, head-up, mouth-opening, and other functions of patients were significantly improved; the patients were satisfied with the effect of reconstruction.Conclusions:Clinical application of single pedicle transfer of expanded axial flap across the midline of the frontal-parietal region in reconstruction of large scar deformities in the face and neck can achieve a good appearance and function, and the donor site shows good shape, which enriches the application range of the trans-regional blood supply flap. It is a reliable method for reconstruction of large scar deformities in the face and neck.

Objective: To explore the clinical effect of free anterolateral thigh flap in repairing large annular soft tissue defect of lower leg after burn. Methods: From January 2014 to December 2018, 9 patients with large annular soft tissue defects of lower legs after burns were hospitalized in Zhengzhou First People′s Hospital, including 1 case with wounds on both legs. After debridement, area of wounds was 16 cm×11 cm-38 cm×21 cm, and the burn wounds were repaired with free anterolateral thigh flaps in the area of 18 cm×12 cm-32 cm×24 cm. End-to-end anastomosis of posterior tibial vessels or anterior tibial vessels with lateral circumflex femoral vessels was performed in manual way or by microvascular stapler. For the affected legs without condition for anastomosis, the sound medial lower leg flaps with areas of 10 cm×8 cm-15 cm×10 cm were excised and made into skin tubes, the posterior tibial vessels of the flaps were anastomosed with the vessels of free anterolateral femoral flaps, and the wounds of the injured lower legs were repaired by bridge-type cross-over free transplantation of anterolateral thigh flaps. The pedicles were broken 4 to 5 weeks later. The donor site was transplanted with autologous intermediate split-thickness skin graft from thigh. The outcome of the treatment, the number of perforators included in the flaps, and the anastomotic vessel in the recipient area of patients were recorded. The anastomosis time between manual way and microvascular staplers was recorded and compared. The patency of blood vessels, methods of free transplantation, and follow-up condition were recorded. Data were processed with Wilcoxon rank sum test for two independent samples. Results: All the 10 free flaps and skin grafts of 9 patients survived, and all the wounds were closed by primary operation. Seven flaps contained two perforators each, and three flaps contained three perforators each. The anastomotic vessels were posterior tibial vessels in 6 recipient areas and anterior tibial vessels in 4 recipient areas. Microvascular stapler was used to anastomose 12 veins, while 8 veins and 10 arteries were anstomosed manually. The time consumed by the former method was 4.00 (3.55, 4.38) min, significantly shorter than 12.80 (12.13, 13.40) min of the latter (W=78.00, P<0.01). The patency rates of veins and arteries were 100%. There was no vascular crisis due to vascular anastomosis. Three patients underwent bridge-type cross-over free transplantation, while the others underwent conventional free transplantation. Follow-up for 3 to 30 months showed that the donor site of the thigh had good motor function, without numbness or pain, but hypertrophy of scar could be seen. Four patients had slightly overstaffed flaps transplanted in the recipient area of the lower legs, while the other patients were satisfied with their appearance, and the walking function of the affected limbs gradually recovered. Conclusions Free anterolateral thigh flap transplantation is a safe and reliable clinical limb salvage method for the repair of large annular soft tissue defect of lower leg after burn. Intraoperative application of microvascular stapler for venous anastomosis can shorten the time of vascular anastomosis and has great clinical application value.

Objective: To investigate the clinical outcome of expanded frontotemporal flap pedicled with bilateral superficial temporal vessels, in repairing facial and cervical scar contracture deformity. Methods: From January 2012 to December 2017, 12 male patients with severe facial and cervical scar hyperplasia and contracture deformity, ranging from preauricular region, cheek, chin to neck, were treated in the Burn Department of the First People′s Hospital in Zhengzhou. The patients were aged at 15-58 years, with the mean age of 29.3 years. The frontotemporal scalp flaps were simultaneously expanded to prefabricate a flap pedicled with bilateral superficial temporal arteries and veins. The operations were carried out in 3 stages. Stage Ⅰ: A 400-600 ml cylindrical expander was placed in the frontal region, underneath of galea aponeurosis and frontal muscle, meanwhile, a 50-100 ml cylindrical expander was placed in the temporal region on each side, between the deep temporal fascia and temporal muscle. Stage Ⅱ: The expanded flap pedicled with bilateral superficial temporal vessels were received, to repair the secondary wound after scar resection and contracture release. The neck curve was reshaped. The donor area was directly sutured. Stage Ⅲ: The flap pedicle was repaired, and residual scar was removed. Laser hair removal was performed on the skin flaps about 3 weeks after operation. Results: Seven patients underwent simultaneously cervical and thoracic tissue expansion. The expansion time was 5-6 months (average 5.2 months). The expanded flap was 40 cm×9 cm to 45 cm×15 cm in size. All flaps survived. The venous reflux disorder after the second stage operation occurred in 1 patient. The affected area was purple and swollen. It was recovered after acupuncture and compression bandage for 1 week. Laser hair removal was performed in 8 flaps. Flap thinning was performed in 5 flaps. All 12 patients were followed up for 4 to 24 months. The flaps have good appearance, without bloating. The transferred flaps have similar color and texture with adjacent the facial skin. The cervical mobility was significantly improved. The hairline of the head was normal, and the suture scar was slight and concealed. Conclusions The expanded frontal and temporal flaps provide considerable amount of tissue with thin skin and reliable blood supply. It is an alternative method to repair facial and cervical scar contracture.

Objective: To explore the effects of free anterolateral femoral or medial calf flaps in the repair of severe facial burns. Methods: From January 2014 to October 2017, 18 patients with severe facial burns were admitted to Zhengzhou First People′s Hospital, including 12 males and 6 females, aged 15-78 years. Autologous intermediate split-thickness skin grafts were transplanted to replace oral mucosa in 4 patients with perforating cheek defects, and 8 patients underwent early vacuum sealing drainage and autologous intermediate split-thickness skin grafting to reduce the wound area to 14 cm×6 cm-22 cm×14 cm before flap transplantation. The wounds of 15 patients were repaired with free anterolateral femoral flaps, and the wounds of the other 3 patients were repaired with free medial calf flaps. The area of flaps ranged from 16 cm×7 cm to 24 cm×17 cm. The facial artery or superficial temporal artery was anastomosed end-to-end with lateral femoral circumflex artery or posterior tibial artery under microscope routinely and manually, and the two accompanying veins were anastomosed end-to-end by Coupler microvascular anastomat. The donor site was sutured or transplanted with autologous intermediate split-thickness skin graft. The anastomosis time of veins was recorded. The patency rate of vascular was calculated. The survival status of flaps were observed. The recovery of recipient area was observed during follow-up. Results: The anastomosis time of two veins in this group was 6-10 minutes, with an average of 8.5 minutes. The patency rates of veins and arteries were 100%. There was no vascular crisis due to the anastomosis problem. The free flaps survived well in 16 patients; one patient had hemorrhage under the flap 6 hours after operation, and the blood circulation of flaps turned well after hemostasis by surgical exploration; the other patient had 3 cm necrosis at the distal end of flap after operation, and the wound was closed after dressing change and autologous intermediate split-thickness skin grafting. The patients were followed up for 2 to 24 months after discharge. Most of the five senses function recovered. The color and texture of the flaps were not consistent with those of the normal facial skin. Some flaps were slightly swollen. Oral integrity was restored in 4 patients with perforating cheek defect with mouth opening of 2.2-3.5 cm. Conclusions Free anterolateral thigh flaps or medial calf flaps can repair severe facial burn wounds. It takes less time to anastomose venous vessels by microvascular anastomat during operation and can ensure the quality of venous anastomosis.

Objective: To explore application effects of CT angiography (CTA) and three-dimensional reconstruction technique in repairing scar around the mouth and chin with expanded forehead axial flap. Methods: From June 2013 to October 2017, 9 patients with hyperplastic scar around the mouth and chin after deep burns on face were admitted to our unit. The sizes of scars of patients ranged from 8 cm×7 cm to 13 cm×8 cm. One cylindrical skin soft-tissue dilator with nominal volume of 400 to 500 mL was implanted in forehead area of each patient. Five to six months after the dilator was implanted, scar around the mouth and chin was resected, and the dilator was removed. The secondary wound after scar resection was repaired by expanded forehead axial flap with bilateral superficial temporal vessel pedicles. Three of the nine patients received microstomia diorthosis at the same time. Before the operation, CTA and three-dimensional reconstruction were applied to obtain three-dimensional images of superficial temporal arteries and the branches in the donor site, which could identify the travel, adjacent location, and vascular anastomosis of the above-mentioned vessels to guide flap design. The sizes of flaps of patients ranged from 25 cm×9 cm to 30 cm×8 cm. Two to three weeks after the operation, flap pedicles were cut off, restored, and trimmed. The donor site was sutured directly. Ten to twelve days after the flap repair operation, the flap site received depilation treatment with semiconductor freezing point laser once a month for 4 to 6 times. Results: Flaps of all patients survived well, with no blood circulation disorder. The flaps of three patients were slightly bulky, while they were with natural appearance after flap thinning operation in 3 months post flap repair operation. During follow-up of 6 months to 2 years after the operation, color, texture, and thickness of the flaps were close to normal skin around scars. The appearance of perioral and mental region, and opening function of mouth improved significantly, with no recurrence of scar. Frontotemporal incision was hidden, hair on head grew normally, and reconstructed hairline was natural. Conclusions Scar around the mouth and chin repaired with expanded forehead axial flap were with good appearance and function in operation area and good shape in donor site. CTA and three-dimensional reconstruction technique can provide clear three-dimensional images of superficial temporal arteries and the branches in expanded forehead axial flaps, which can provide reliable basis for preoperative designing of flap, reduce operative risk, and improve survival rate of flap, thus having clinical application value.
