Objective To investigate the effect of modified dorsal palmar artery flap in repairing skin defect of hand.Methods A prospective study was conducted on 78 patients with hand skin defects in our hospital from May 2018 to May 2023,who were randomly divided into a control group(n=39)and a study group(n=39)using a random number table method.The control group was given conventional flap repair,while the study group was given modified dorsal metacarpal artery flap repair.The surgical conditions,flap blood supply,motor function of the affected finger,sensory function,postoperative complications and appearance satisfaction of the two groups were compared.Results The operation time,hospital stay and wound healing time of the research group were(110.28±17.65)minutes,(8.94±1.76)d and(14.39±3.82)d,respectively.Which were shorter than the control group[(121.43±15.94)min,(10.13±1.88)d,and(16.51±4.07)d,respectively].The intraoperative blood loss in the research group was(38.12±7.81)ml,which was lower than that of the control group[(42.59±7.43)ml].The elasticity scores of the study group at 1 month,3 months,and 6 months after surgery were(1.31±0.28),(2.34±0.31),and(2.81±0.08),respectively,which were higher than those of the control group[(1.12±0.25),(2.05±0.28),and(2.59±0.17),respectively].The capillary filling time scores were(1.24±0.26),(2.42±0.27),and(2.75±0.12),respectively,which were higher than those of the control group(1.06±0.23),(2.13±0.25),and(2.43±0.27),respectively;the excellent and good rate of motor function of the affected fingers in the study group was 97.44％,which was higher than that of the control group(79.49％),the incidence of complications was 5.13％,which was lower than that of the control group(23.08％),the appearance satisfaction rate was 89.74％,which was higher than that of the control group(71.79％)(P＜0.05).Conclusion The modified dorsal palmar artery flap for the treatment of hand skin defects can optimize the operation process,improve the local blood flow of the flap,promote the recovery of finger motor function and sensory function,enhance the appearance effect and reduce the risk of complications.

Objective: To assess the effects of subchronic intake of high-dose Dendrobium officinale on body weight, food intake, food utilization, and blood biochemical parameters in rats, so as to provide insights into assessment of edible safety of D. officinale. Methods: Eighty SPF-grade SD rats were randomly divided into the low-, medium- and high-dose groups and the control group, of 10 male and 10 female rats in each group. Rats in the low-, medium- and high-dose groups were administered with D. officinale feeds at doses of 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0 g/kg body weight, respectively, while animals in the control group were given basic diet for successive 13 weeks. The rat body weight, food intake, food utilization, and blood biochemical parameters were compared between groups. Results: Normal diet and activity was seen in all rats, and no abnormal syndromes, signs or deaths were found during the study. There were no significant differences in rat body weight, food intake, total weight gain, total food intake, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, urea nitrogen, creatinine, triacylglycerol, cholesterol, total protein, albumin, albumin/globulin ratio or blood glucose among four groups (P>0.05). The food utilization 7 weeks post-administration [(8.71%±0.78%) vs. (10.54%±1.37%), P<0.05] and the total food utilization [(18.00%±0.41%) vs. (19.51%±1.21%), P<0.05] were significantly lower in male rats in the high-dose group than in the control group. Conclusion Subchronic intake of high-dose D. officinale shows no toxicity in rats, and reduced food utilization may be associated with the health function of D. officinale in male rats.
