Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes of reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial soft tissue defects using superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap （SCIA PF） and radial forearm free flap （RFF）. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 90 patients with head, neck, and maxillofacial tumors who were treated in our department from June 2019 to January 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical method used: the SCIA group（n=45）, who underwent reconstruction with SCIA PF, and the RFF group（n=45）, who received RFF reconstruction. Six months postoperatively, clinical efficacy was evaluated by comparing flap swelling, flap survival rate, and patient satisfaction. Oral function was assessed using standardized scoring systems before surgery, at 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months post-surgery. Hemorheological parameters, including high-shear viscosity（shear rate 200/s）, low-shear viscosity（shear rate 30/s）, plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation index, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate（ESR）, were also measured at each time point. Results:Compared with the RFF group, the SCIA group showed significantly larger flap size, longer flap harvesting and reconstruction times, earlier nasogastric tube removal and oral intake initiation, higher scores in all aspects of oral function, reduced flap edema and faster resolution, higher flap survival rates, and greater overall satisfaction （all P<0.05）. During the follow-up period （preoperative, 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months post-surgery）, hemorheological indices including high-and low-shear viscosity, plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation index, and ESR progressively decreased in the SCIA group （P<0.05）. In the RFF group, these parameters improved significantly by 6 months postoperatively compared with preoperatively and 1-week postoperatively, with a notable decrease in erythrocyte aggregation index at 6 months （P<0.05）. Conclusion:Compared with RFF, SCIA PF provides larger flaps, better functional recovery, higher patient satisfaction, improved flap survival, fewer complications, and more favorable hemorheological profiles following reconstructive surgery for oral and maxillofacial defects.

Objective To investigate the physics technique and quality assurance (QA) during radiotherapy in the institutions from the East Guangdong province,aiming to provide reference for the construction of radiotherapy discipline and rational allocation of resources in the primary hospitals from the eastern Guangdong province.Methods From March 15 to May 20,2016,the general conditions,radiotherapy equipment,available technique and quality assurance (QA) in the medical institutions from eastern Guangdong were investigated and analyzed by online combined with on-spot surgery.Results There were 8 institutions which provided radiotherapy with 966 ward beds,a daily capacity of 632 patients and 222 radiotherapy practitioners.Radiotherapy equipment included 12 linear accelerators,5 after-loading devices,1γ-knife,8 CT simulators and 9 radiotherapy planning systems.Five institutions performed IMRT/VMAT,IGRT and ART.Dose verification was performed before precision radiotherapy delivery in all institutions except for 1 center.QA procedures were missing for the linear accelerators,CT simulators and after-loading devices.Short-term advanced studies and hand-by-hand teaching were the main approaches for staff professional training.Conclusions The resource allocation for radiotherapy in the medical centers from the eastern Guangdong province is scarce.The technique and QC levels greatly differ among different institutions.Standard QA protocols are urgently to be established and implemented.Extensive attentions should be paid to the the professional training for technicians.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and rehabilitation of apraxia with unilateral neglect after corpus callosum in-farction. Methods A case of apraxia with unilateral neglect after corpus callosum infarction was discussed. Results After rehabilitation, the apraxia and unilateral neglect were improved. Conclusion For similar cases, rehabilitation can significantly improve the symptoms and ac-tivities of daily living.
