The polyfoliate perforator flap is a new type of flap that was developed on the basis of the traditional polyfoliate myocutaneous flap, polyfoliate fascial flap and perforator flap. It overturns the traditional idea that the deep fascial vascular network is the fundamental for a survival of the flap, and enables the flaps to achieve the best profile and function of the recipient areas with minimal damage to the donor area. In order to improve the understanding of the polyfoliate perforator flap and further standardise its clinical application, this paper forms a consensus on the definition, classification, indications, operative points and precautions of the polyfoliate perforator flap, so as to provide references in diagnosis and treatment process and practical application for the surgeons.

Objective To provide a data foundation not only for food safety supervision and pollution source tracing, but also for the clinical treatment of drug-resistant bacteria in barreled drinking water, the drug resistance and type Ⅲ secretion system (T3SS) virulence genes carriage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa detected in barreled drinking water in Hainan Province were investigated, and the correlative relationship between strain ribosomal subtypes and virulence genes were then discussed. Methods The drug resistance of the isolated 55 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was confirmed by using VITEK 2 Compact automatic microbial drug sensitivity system, and the T3SS virulence genes ExoU, ExoS, ExoT and ExoY were amplified by PCR, bacterial strain subtypes and homology were analyzed by the RiboPrinter automatic microbial gene fingerprint identification system. Results The drug sensitivity results showed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from barreled water had relatively low drug resistance, though one strain of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa was discovered, resistant to imipenem, ciprofloxacin and cefepime. The distribution of T3SS virulence genes showed four genotypic combinations: ExoT+/ExoY+/ExoS+/ExoU- (45.45%, 25/55), ExoT+/ExoY+/ExoS-/ExoU+ (34.55%, 19/55), ExoT+/ExoY-/ExoS-/ExoU+(18.18%, 10/55), ExoT+/ExoY+/ExoS+/ExoU+ (1.82%, 1/55). Ribosomal typing results showed that the Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were divided into six subtypes, the numbers of each subtype accounted for 24 (43.64%), 1 (1.82%), 25 (45.45%), 1 (1.82%), 3 (5.45%) and 1 (1.82%) respectively, with subtype Ⅰ and subtype Ⅲ being dominant. The main T3SS genotypes of the top two subtype I and subtype III were ExoT+/ExoY+/ExoS-/ExoU+ (16/24, 66.67%) and ExoT+/ExoY+/ExoS+/ExoU- (22/25, 88%). Conclusions The T3SS secretion system exhibits the characteristics of multiple virulence genes' coordinated expression, and there is a certain correlation between subtypes of bacterial strains and virulence genotypesThe exploration of the relationship between them provides guidance for tracing the source of Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination, production control, clinical treatment in barrelled drinking water, and preliminarily establishes the initial data of local Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains in barrelled drinking water as well the related drug sensitivity data in Hainan.

Objective:To evaluate the performance, efficacy and safety of a novel portable endoscopy system for upper gastrointestinal examination.Methods:A multicentered, open-label, randomized, non-inferiority controlled study was conducted in 3 clinical research centers from June 2019 to June 2020, and a total of 90 outpatients admitted to Department of Gastroenterology were randomly assigned to the trial group ( n=44) undergoing portable endoscopy and the control group ( n=46) undergoing Olympus endoscopy. The examination success rate, image quality, performance, overall operation satisfaction rate, biopsy success rate and adverse events of the two groups were compared. Results:The examination success rates of the trial group and the control group were 97.73% (43/44) and 100.00% (46/46) respectively with a difference of -2.27% (95% CI: -6.68%-2.13%), higher than the set non-inferiority margin of -10%. Rates of good and excellent image quality were 100% in both groups, and the difference of 0 was higher than the set non-inferiority margin of -10%. There was no significant difference in the rate of good and excellent performance of the operating system between the two groups [97.67% (42/43) VS 100.00% (46/46), P=0.483]. There was significant difference in the overall satisfactory rate of the operation between the two groups [86.05% (37/43) VS 100.00% (46/46), P=0.011]. A total of 9 cases underwent endoscopic biopsy, including 5 cases in the trial group and 4 cases in the control group. The biopsy channels in both groups were smooth and the biopsy were successfully completed. There was no significant difference in adverse event rate between the two groups [25.00% (11/44) VS 10.87%(5/46), χ2=3.07, P=0.080]. All adverse events disappeared in 48 hours, and no severe adverse events or device defect events occurred. Conclusion:The novel portable endoscopic system is comparable to Olympus endoscopic system in terms of the operating performance, the image quality and safety. Therefore, this system is safe and effective for upper gastrointestinal examination.

Objective:To investigate the effect of free anterolateral thigh perforator flap in repair of forefoot injuries combined with multiple tissue defect.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on 26 patients who suffered from forefoot injuries combined with multiple tissue defect admitted to 920th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from January 2015 to December 2019. There were 21 males and 5 females, aged 15-61 years [(31.6±12.5)years]. The combined injuries were fracture in 10 patients, arsometatarsal joint dislocation in 3, bone defect in 9, tendon injury in 5, and ligament injury in 3. Management of multiple tissue defect of the forefeet: soft-tissue defect of the forefeet was resurfaced with free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps with the dimension of 6.0 cm×3.5 cm to 26.5 cm×10.0 cm; fracture was fixed by Kirschner wires; joint dislocation was treated by open reduction and Kirschner wires fixations; bone defect was reconstructed either by one-stage bone graft or by use of membrane-induced technique and secondary bone graft, according to the wound conditions; tendon injury of extensor digitorum longus was repaired by direct tendon suture or by tendon transfer; tarsometatarsal ligament injury was primarily sutured. The flap survival rate was observed within 2 weeks after operation. The fracture healing, bone-defect repair, foot appearance, and donor-site healing were detected at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year post-operatively and at the last follow-up. The postoperative complications were recorded. The foot function was assessed using American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score before operation and at the final follow-up.Results:All patients were followed up for 6-36 months [(20.5±4.6)months]. All flaps survived uneventfully. The fracture healing and bone defect repair were acquired. The flap showed good texture, including primary flap thinning in 11 patients and secondarily thinning in 15 patients at 3-6 months postoperatively. The donor sites showed good healing, leaving only a linear scar. The flap venous crisis developed in 1 patient and survived after emergency vascular exploring. Local infection of flap occurred in 3 patients and was cured after further debridement and the use of sensitive antibiotics. The AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was 54-94 points [(76.6±10.4)points] at the last follow-up, compared to preoperative 11-51 points [(27.2±11.3)points] ( P<0.01). The results were excellent in 5 patients, good in 11, and fair in 10, with the excellent and good rate of 62%. Conclusions:For forefoot injuries combined with multiple tissue defect, anterolateral thigh perforator flap transplantation with additional techniques to treat fractures, bone defect, tendon and ligament injuries can achieve satisfactory results in aesthetic appearance of the flap and donor site and foot function recovery.
