Objective:To explore the clinical effects of various special forms of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (DLCFA) perforator flaps in repairing high-voltage electrical burn wounds on the wrist.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From September 2014 to June 2024, 79 male patients with high-voltage electrical burns on the wrist, aged 20 to 62 years and met the inclusion criteria, were admitted to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, with wrist high-voltage electrical burn wound (hereinafter referred to as wrist wound) types being classified as type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ. In the early stage after injury, debridement was performed on the patients' wrists. Based on the wound condition and flap indications, the flow-through, lobed, chimeric, flow-through-lobed, lobed-chimeric, flow-through-chimeric, or flow-through-lobed-chimeric DLCFA perforator flap was employed individually, and the flow-through-chimeric DLCFA perforator flap and tensor fascia lata myocutaneous flap were employed in combination to repair the wounds. The donor site wounds were repaired using direct sutures or skin grafting. The number of various DLCFA perforator flaps resected during surgery and the number of various types of wrist wounds repaired were recorded, as well as the closure status of the donor site wound. The postoperative flap survival, occurrence of vascular crisis, wound or suture site healing, and patency of the reconstructed artery in flow-through flaps were recorded. During follow-up, the appearance of the flap, scar formation, and the presence of thigh muscle herniation were observed.Results:Intraoperatively, 11 flow-through DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 11 type Ⅱ wrist wounds, 13 lobed DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 9 type Ⅱ and 4 type Ⅲ wrist wounds, 16 chimeric DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 16 type Ⅱ wrist wounds, 11 flow-through-lobed DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 5 type Ⅱ and 6 type Ⅲ wrist wounds, 10 lobed-chimeric DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 5 type Ⅱ and 5 type Ⅲ wrist wounds, 6 flow-through-chimeric DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 6 type Ⅱ wrist wounds, 7 flow-through-lobed-chimeric DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 7 type Ⅲ wrist wounds, and 5 flow-through-chimeric DLCFA perforator flaps combined with tensor fascia lata myocutaneous flaps were resected to repair 5 type Ⅲ wrist wounds. Seventy-four patients had their donor site wounds closed by direct suturing, while 5 patients had their donor site wounds closed by skin grafting. Postoperatively, the flaps in 3 patients developed vascular crisis, including 1 case of arterial crisis and 2 cases of venous crises but survived after emergency vascular exploration and other treatments; the remaining flaps survived completely. Postoperatively, 3 patients had seepage beneath their flaps, which were closed after dressing changes; the remaining patients' wounds or suture sites all healed. Anteriography showed that all reconstructed arteries in 35 patients who underwent flow-through flap transplantation were patent postoperatively. During the follow-up period of 3 months to 1 year, 20 patients had bloated flap, while the rest had good flap appearance; linear scars were left in the donor sites that underwent direct wound closure, and the skin-grafted areas of the donor site wounds showed no significant patchy hypertrophic scarring; no thigh muscle herniation occurred.Conclusions:Taking the full advantage of perforator flaps, various special forms of the DLCFA perforator flaps are used to repair the three-dimensionally injury wounds caused by high-voltage electrical burns on the wrist, which not only minimizes the damage to the donor site but also allow the recipient site to be well repaired, showing good appearance in the recent follow-up.

Drug addiction, a disorder characterized by chronic relapse and compulsive drug use, poses a significant threat to public safety and human health. Addictive substances can be categorized as natural, semi-synthetic, or synthetic based on their origin. Additionally, they can be classified into three groups according to their pharmacological targets: opioids, hallucinogens, and cannabinoids that act on G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs); alcohols, nicotine, ketamine, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines (BDZs) that affect ligand-gated ion channel-type receptors; and psychostimulants that interact with monoamine transporters. Current treatments for drug addiction primarily include substitution therapy and non-pharmacological approaches. However, these methods have limitations, particularly in addressing the underlying causes of relapse. Several drugs in clinical trials have demonstrated potential therapeutic effects for addiction to opioids, heroin, cocaine, and other substances. This review examines the origins and pharmacological mechanisms of addiction to naturally-derived psychoactive substances (NPS) and provides an overview of recent advancements in pharmacotherapy for drug addiction.

【Objective】 To explore the application value of different language assessment tools in the assessment of language development of 12-month-old high-risk infants, and to screen out simple and valid language assessment tools. 【Methods】 A total of 217 11- to 13-month-old high-risk infants who were followed up at the outpatient service for high-risk infants at the child health clinic of Guiyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital from March 2022 to May 2023 were selected as the study subjects. Their language was evaluated by Early Language Milestone Scale (ELMS), Putonghua Communicative Development Inventory (PCDI) and Ages and Stages Questionnaire-Third Edition (ASQ-3). With Gesell as the gold standard for the assessment of language, the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, Youden index and Kappa value of the three tools were calculated. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the different language assessment scales. The Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was used to evaluate the three tools. 【Results】 1)Among 217 high-risk infants, 78 preterm infants was the most (35.94%). The rate of delayed language development detected by Gesell, ELMS, PCDI-comprehension, PCDI-expression, ASQ-3 were 5.5%, 7.8%, 36.4%, 30.0% and 11.5%, respectively. 2)ASQ-3 had the strongest correlation with Gesell language region (r

Objective:To explore the repair strategy of chest radiation ulcer after radical mastectomy for breast cancer and its clinical effect.Methods:The study was a retrospective observational study. From September 2020 to September 2023, 27 female patients (aged 37-83 years) with chest radiation ulcers after radical mastectomy for breast cancer who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, of which 7 patients developed significant pain in the chest region. Various examinations were completed to accurately assess the presence of tumors and depth of radiation ulcers. After tumor recurrence was ruled out, the ulcer wounds were thoroughly debrided (the wound size after debridement was 8 cm×7 cm to 18 cm×18 cm). At the same time, pathological examination of the wound tissue and bacterial culture of the wound tissue/exudate samples were performed. The wound repair surgery was performed at the same time after debridement or one week after vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) treatment. Based on the location and size of the wound, the age and overall condition of the patient, as well as the principle of minimizing damage to the donor site, the most suitable tissue flap was selected to repair the wound. The donor site wound was transplanted with a split-thickness skin graft or sutured together. The level and tissue structure of radiation injury, and the type and size of transplanted tissue flap were recorded. The results of postoperative pathological examination of wound tissue and bacterial culture of wound tissue/exudate samples, pain relief, survival of tissue flap, and wound healing were recorded. During the follow-up, the shape of the tissue flap, whether the ulcer recurred, the wound healing of the donor site, and whether the abdominal wall hernia occurred in the donor site of the rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap were observed.Results:Radiation injury involved ribs and costal cartilage in 21 cases, ribs, sternum, and clavicle in 4 cases, and clavicle and subclavian artery in 2 cases. Twelve patients were transplanted with rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap, eight patients with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, three patients with internal thoracic artery perforator flap, three patients with superior epigastric artery perforator flap, and one patient with free deep inferior epigastric perforator flap. The size of tissue flap was 14 cm×8 cm to 20 cm×20 cm. After surgery, no tumor component was found in the pathological examination of wound tissue; 25 patients were positive and 2 patients were negative in bacterial culture results of wound tissue/exudate samples; the pain of 7 patients was completely relieved. The tissue flaps of 25 patients survived completely after surgery, and the wounds healed. Two patients had partial necrosis at the tip of the rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap, which healed after debridement and tissue flap repair. The patients were followed up for 6 months to 2 years. The appearance of the tissue flaps was good, and no ulcer recurred. The linear scar was left on the donor site, and no abdominal wall hernia occurred in the donor site of the rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap.Conclusions:Thorough debridement and VSD treatment after accurate assessment of the extent of damage, and the selection of appropriate tissue flap to repair the wound based on the patient's general condition, the wound characteristics, and the principle of minimizing damage to the donor site are good repair strategies for the chest radiation ulcers after radical mastectomy for breast cancer. By using the strategies, the wounds could be closed as soon as possible, preventing ulcer recurrence and having a good prognosis.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of chimeric perforator flaps in repairing wounds with bone or internal fixation exposure and wounds with osteomyelitis.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2018 to December 2022, 20 patients with wounds with bone or internal fixation exposure and wounds with osteomyelitis who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, including 19 males and 1 female, aged from 21 to 73 years. Among the 21 wounds, there were 5 wounds with bone exposure, 12 wounds with osteomyelitis, and 4 wounds with internal fixation exposure. After the debridement in the first stage, the wound area was 6 cm×3 cm to 22 cm×10 cm. Then vacuum sealing drainage was carried out for 5 to 7 days. In the second stage, the wounds were covered with pedicled chimeric medial sural artery perforator flap, pedicled chimeric posterior tibialis artery perforator flap, free chimeric perforator flap pedicled with descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery, free chimeric medial sural artery perforator flap or free chimeric deep circumflex iliac artery perforator flap with incision area of 7 cm×5 cm to 25 cm×12 cm. The chimeric muscle flap was used to fill and cover irregular deep cavities. The wounds in the flap donor sites were sutured directly or repaired with medium-thickness skin grafts from the thigh. The survival of flap and the healing of wound in flap donor site were observed after operation. The recurrence of infection was followed up.Results:Among the 18 free chimeric perforator flaps, 16 flaps survived successfully; one flap experienced a venous crisis on the day of surgery and survived completely after emergency exploration and re-anastomosis; another one flap had partial distal necrosis, which healed after dressing changes. All the wounds in the flap donor sites healed evenly. All 3 pedicled chimeric perforator flaps survived; one of them developed sub-flap infection but healed after debridement and bone cement placement. The wound in the donor site of 1 flap developed incision dehiscence, which healed successfully after redebridement and suturing. The donor site wounds of the rest 2 flaps healed well. During 3 to 12 months of follow-up, the patients with wounds with bone or internal fixation exposure showed no signs of abnormal exudation or infection, and no infection recurrence was observed in patients with wounds with osteomyelitis.Conclusions:The application of chimeric perforator flaps is effective in covering wounds, filling dead spaces, and controlling infection in wounds with bone or internal fixation exposure and wounds with osteomyelitis. Moreover, this method minimizes the damage to the donor site.

Objective:To investigate the effect of drospirenone and ethinylestradiol in the treatment of ovulation induction in patients with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).Methods:A randomized controlled clinical study analyzed the clinical data of 130 POI patients who underwent assisted reproductive treatment at the Department of Reproductive Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Seventh Medical Center and Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Sixth Medical Center of Chinese people's Liberation Army General Hospital from December 2021 to November 2022. The subject-centered randomization method was used to conceal the allocation, and there was no blinding. The patients in experimental group was given drospirenone and ethinylestradiol as pretreatment, while control group was not treated. The main observation indicator of the follicle recovery growth rate and the secondary observation indicators of estradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels before and after pretreatment, the number of eggs retrieved, the proportion of eggs retrieved, and other embryo laboratory-related indicators were compared between the two groups.Results:The recovery rate of follicular growth in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant [50.77% (33/65) vs. 15.38% (10/65), P<0.001, rate difference =35.38%, 95% CI: 19.44%-48.98%]. The levels of FSH [17.70 (8.15, 27.00) U/L] decreased significantly and estradiol [24.00 (15.00, 90.47) ng/L] increased significantly in the experimental group after preconditioning with spironolone ethinylestradiol compared with those before preconditioning [30.30 (25.95, 48.05) U/L, P<0.001; 15.00 (15.00, 24.00) ng/L, P<0.001], the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion:The spironolone ethinylestradiol can effectively inhibit the level of FSH and increase the level of estradiol in patients with POI, and increase the probability of ovarian growth and development during ovulation induction therapy.
