Objective:To analyze the relationship between folate and thyroid antibody in early pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcome in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy.Methods:The data of 97 pregnant women with hypothyroidism from Jul. 2020 to Mar. 2023 in the Obstetrics Department of Liaocheng Second People’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The levels of folate, thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) were detected in the first trimester. According to whether adverse pregnancy outcome occurred in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy, they were divided into occurrence group and non-occurrence group. The clinical data of the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of folic acid, TGAb, TPOAb and their combination on adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy.Results:Among 97 pregnant women, the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome was 14.43% (14/97) .The folate level in the occurrence group was lower than non-occurrence group ( P<0.05) , and the TGAb and TPOAb levels in the occurrence group were higher than non-occurrence group ( P<0.05) . The occurrence group with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , glutamine transpeptidase (GGT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were all higher than non-occurrence group ( P<0.05) .The folate, TGAb, and TPOAb levels were factors influencing adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism ( P<0.05) . The area under the curve (AUC) values of folate, TGAb, TPOAb and their combined prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy were 0.804, 0.843, 0.799, 0.909 ( P<0.05) , while the combined three with AUC values were higher ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The folate, TGAb and TPOAb levels in early pregnancy can be used to evaluate adverse pregnancy outcomes in hypothyroidism pregnant women, and the combination of the three has a higher evaluation value.

Objective:To explore the ideal way of using the stereoscopic unequal S-plasty in reconstruction of the congenital hypoplastic ear lobe cleft with soft tissue deficiency.Methods:Data of 10 patients with the congenital hypoplastic ear lobe cleft associated with soft tissue deficiency who were treated using the stereoscopic unequal S-plasty in the plastic cosmetic surgery of Xuzhou Central Hospital from Aug 2018 to Aug 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Six patients were male, 4 were female. Their ages ranged from 6 years to 19 years old, with a mean age of 13 years. Lobe deficiency size ranged from 0.8 cm×0.5 cm to 1.2 cm×1.0 cm.Results:The post-operation flaps had no venous congestion, infection or necrosises. During 3 to 12 months of follow-up, the technique made the shape of the ear lobe smoother. The incisions left inconspicuous scars. The result was satisfactory in terms of matching the contralateral normal ear lobe in shape and symmetry. Doctors and patients were satisfied with the results.Conclusions:The stereoscopic unequal S-plasty is an effective way to correct the the severe congenital ear lobe deformity. The good result,simple manipulation and short operation time are the advantages of this method.

Objective:To investigate the repair of the severe nasal deformity in the unilateral cleft lip secondary with the methods in the composite tissue Z-plasty and the nasolabial anatomical reconstruction.Methods:A total of 25 patients with severe nasal deformity due to secondary unilateral cleft lip underwent the reconstructive surgery using the technique of composite tissue Z-plasty and the nasolabial anatomical reconstruction for anatomical restoration of cartilage, muscle, and soft tissue layers. All patients were followed up for 3-24 months, with an average period of 7.6 months. The treatment outcomes were evaluated by a questionnaire in postoperative follow-up.Results:All the 25 patients had achieved satisfactory nostril shape and no other complications such as bleeding, infection and flap necrosis were recorded. A total of 25 patients were evaluated postoperatively. The average columella length was significantly improved from an average of 14.2 mm preoperatively to 20.2 mm postoperatively. The average ratio of the cleft side columella height to the alar base width was 0.18 preoperatively and 0.30 postoperatively. The postoperative basal and frontal views revealed a better shape of the nostrils, columella and nasal floor. GAIS questionnaires of 25 patients demonstrated that 20 patients reported great improvement, 4 patients reported moderate improvement, 1 patient had poor improvement in size and shape of the affected side nostril who undevwent the another repair of the rdure in 12 months postoperation. The ectopic muscles around the pear hole was completely released and the effect was good after repair. The satisfactory rate was 96%.Conclusions:Combining the composite tissue Z-plasty with the nasolabial anatomical reconstruction allows for thorough anatomical restoration of cartilage, muscle, and skin layers in unilateral cleftlip nasal deformities. This single-step approach is a safe and technically easy therapeutic option that is associated with high patients′ satisfaction. This method should be considered for promotion in clinic.

Objective:To observe the technique of using the random flap with a subcutaneous pedicle forone-stage reconstuction of anterior auricular conchal defect and its efficancy.Methods:Ten cases were involved in this study, including 3 cases of carcinoma, 6 cases of nevus, and one with iatrogenic detect. Six patients were men, and 4 were women. Their ages were 2 months to 68 years (mean 57 years). Surgical defect size ranged from 1.0 cm×1.0 cm to 2.5 cm×1.5 cm. They were resected and reconstructed using the retroauricular random flap of the subcutaneous pedicle.Results:10 wounds were healed by first intention. The appearance and functionality of the flap matched well with the receiptive site. During 6 to 24 months of follow-up, no tumor or nevus recurred. All patients were satisfied with the aesthetic results of the POSAS assessment scale.Conclusions:Aesthetic results are achieved with satisfactory appearance and functionality by this easy-to-learn technique in comparative short surgical time.
