Objective To understand the membrane protein molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) in the region,and provide some evidence for rational drug use or application of efflux pump inhibitors. Methods Collected Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from four hospitals in the region from October 2022 to August 2023,and used SYBR-PCR method to quantitatively detect the relative mRNA expression (RE) levels of 10 membrane protein coding genes,including mexA,B,C,D,E,F,X,Y,and oprD,M. Then categorized the strains into five groups based on ceftazidime,cefepime,imipenem,and meropenem resistance phenotype combination,including the compassionate group (Group Ⅰ),Group Ⅱ with full resistance,IPM,MEM resistant,CAZ and CFP sensitive groups (Group Ⅲ),IPM resistance,MEM non-resistance (sensitive or intermediate) group (Group Ⅳ),IPM,MEM resistance,CAZ and CFP non-resistance groups (Group V).The median RE of each membrane protein-coding gene was analyzed. Results A total of 108 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected,with 24 strains in Group Ⅰ as controls and 84 strains in the carbapenem resistant group,including 32 strains in Group Ⅱ,22 strains in Group Ⅲ,13 strains in Group Ⅳ,and 17 strains in Group Ⅴ. The expression of mexD,mexE,mexF,mexX and mexY in the drug-resistant group was higher than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (U=409.5～661.0,all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in mexA,mexB,mexC,oprD and oprM with the control group (U=767.0～1004.5,all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression of RE genes encoding various membrane proteins among strains from different hospitals (H=0.914～7.407,all P>0.05). Among the four different phenotypes,there was no statistically significant difference in the irregular distribution of mexA and oprM RE between each group and the control group (UmexA=95.0～264.0,UoprM=143.0～331.0). The mexC RE in each group was lower than that in the control group,but the differences were not statistically significant (U=134.0～344.5,all P>0.05). MeixE and meixY RE were both higher than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (UmexE=48.0～230.0,UmexY=83.0～184.0). MeixB was lower than the control group in group Ⅳ (U=72.0),and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). MeixD and meixF showed consistent expression,with higher expression in groups Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ compared to the control group (UmeixD=34.0～102.0,UmeixF=65.0～113.0). MeixX was expressed higher in groups Ⅱ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ compared to the control group (U=164.0,58.0,111.0),while oprD was only expressed lower in group Ⅲ than in the control group (U=140.0),with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Although the expression of oprD in groups Ⅱ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ was lower than that in the control group,the differences were not statistically significant (U=381.0,102.0,144.0,all P>0.05). Conclusion ExCD,mexEF and mexXY are the main membrane protein combinations of CRPA efflux pumps in Kunming area. Upregulation of mexD,E,F,X,and Y membrane protein expression enhanced efflux. The correlation between mexAB oprM efflux pump and carbapenem resistance in CRPA in this area was low. The low expression of oprD played a role in the efflux mechanism in strains that do not produce β-lactase,but there was no significant difference in low expression in enzyme producing strains.

The free inferior epigastric artery perforator flap is currently a highly regarded autologous breast reconstruction technique. However, in clinical practice, the anatomical characteristics of the lower abdominal vasculature and surrounding tissue structures do not always permit ideal perforator flap harvesting. In many cases, it becomes necessary to preserve a larger rectus abdominis muscle cuff to ensure reliable blood supply to the flap through the perforating vessels. Compared with various forms of rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps that all require incision of the anterior sheath and intramuscular vascular pedicle dissection, the superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) perforator flap significantly reduces donor-site morbidity. Nevertheless, the anatomical variability of the superficial inferior epigastric vessels increases surgical uncertainty. Based on clinical observations, this study establishes a comprehensive clinical strategy algorithm. Primarily focusing on different configurations of free rectus abdominis flaps, it incorporates additional preparation of free SIEA perforator flaps when anatomical conditions permit. The objectives are to ensure reliable perfusion of the lower abdominal flap while minimizing donor-site damage and reducing surgical complexity.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of remedial pedicled rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap transplantation for breast reconstruction.Methods:This retrospective study included 23 female breast cancer patients who underwent autologous breast reconstruction with a remedial pedicled rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap at Hunan Cancer Hospital from June 2022 to June 2023. The patients' ages ranged from 24 to 56 years, with a mean age of (43.2±1.3) years. All patients had previously undergone mastectomy and tumor resection before receiving the remedial pedicled rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap reconstruction. Follow-up was conducted through outpatient visits and telephone interviews, with a median follow-up period of 10 (6-15) months. Observation indicators included survival rate of flaps, patient satisfaction rate and aesthetic outcomes. Adverse reactions including but not limited to flap contracture and deformation, during and following the surgical procedure were also recorded.Results:The remedial pedicled rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap technique was utilized for autologous breast reconstruction in 23 patients. Specifically, this approach was chosen due to two primary reasons: the perforator distance from the vascular pedicle being excessively long in 18 cases, and suboptimal characteristics of the main pedicle in 5 cases. Two types of flap configurations were employed. For 15 patients, a unilateral remedial pedicled rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap was used, with an average flap size of (21.5±0.8) cm in length and (11.2±1.3) cm in width. All flaps demonstrated adequate blood supply without the need for additional vascular anastomosis. For the remaining 8 patients, a combination of a unilateral remedial pedicled rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap and a contralateral free lower abdominal flap was utilized, resulting in an average flap size of (29.3±0.7) cm in length and (12.0±1.8) cm in width. In these cases, the inferior epigastric vessels of the free lower abdominal flap were successfully anastomosed to the internal thoracic vessels of the recipient site, ensuring all flaps survived postoperatively. The survival rate of flaps in 23 patients was 100% (23/23), and the patient satisfaction rate was 100% (23/23). Postoperative evaluation revealed that the reconstructed breasts exhibited satisfactory shape and texture, with no instances of flap contracture or deformation. The reconstructed breasts were largely symmetrical with the contralateral side, leaving only linear scars at the donor and recipient sites. Importantly, there was no significant impact on abdominal wall function, and no adverse reactions such as flap contracture or impaired abdominal wall function were observed in any of the patients.Conclusion:When the characteristics of the perforating vessels in the lower abdomen are suboptimal, the use of a remedial pedicled rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap technique for breast reconstruction can ensure satisfactory outcomes and significantly enhance surgical safety.

OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the healing degree of graft in patients who underwent over-the-top reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) using autologous tendon 1 year postoperatively to find out possible risk factors. METHODS: From January 2017 to March 2023, 207 patients with more than 1 year of follow-up and 1-year postoperative MRI were selected from that receiving ACL autograft tendon over-the-top reconstruction surgery including 137 males and 70 females, with a mean age of (28.01±9.71) years rangeding 12 to 56 years old;time from trauma to surgery was (5.80±3.78) months. All patients had intra-operative pivoshift tested asⅠtoⅡdegree. The 1-year postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results were categorized by Howell's method, classifying degreesⅠandⅡas group BHD (better healing degree), while degrees Ⅲ and Ⅳ as group PHD (poorer healing degree). Potential influencing factors such as age, gender, whether it was a sports injury, time from injury to surgery, time to return to sports after surgery, body mass index (BMI), Beighton score, knee hyper-extension, diameter of the graft, whether it was remnant-preserving or not, whether the medial and lateral meniscus were resected, sutured or not, posterior lateral tibial slope, intercondylar notch width ratio (ICNWR), and lateral femoral condyle depth ratio (LFCDR) were analyzed by univariate analysis and Logistic regression to find the influencing factors. RESULTS: All patients were follow-up time for (18.59±4.63) months, and all the patients had good wound healing without any infection after surgery. There were 3 cases of re-ruptrure and 2 cases with secondary medial meniscus barrel handle-like tear 1 year after surgery, which received arthroscopic surgical treatment. Univariate analysis showed statistically significant difference in time from injury to surgery, time from surgery to return to sports, ICNWR, posterior lateral tibial slope, and BMI between the two groups(P<0.05). Multi-factorial regression analysis showed that smaller ICNWR, OR=0.684, 95%CI(0.528, 0.886), P=0.004; larger posterior lateral tibial slope, OR=1.557, 95%CI(1.222, 1.984), P<0.001;larger BMI, OR=1.724, 95%CI(1.369, 2.172), P<0.001;and shorter return-to-sport time<6 months vs. 6 to 12 months, OR=0.167, 95%CI(0.041, 0.672), P=0.012;<6 months vs.>12 months, OR=0.022, 95%CI(0.004, 0.108), P<0.001 might be risk factors for poor MRI healing degree 1 year postoperatively. CONCLUSION In patients received ACL autograft tendon over-the-top reconstruction, smaller ICNWR, larger posterior lateral tibial slope, larger BMI, and shorter time to return to sports may all be high-risk factors for poor graft healing degree on MRI 1 year postoperatively, and the surgical technique and the postoperative rehabilitation are supposed to be individualized for such patients.

Objective:To investigate the strategies and technical points of combined bilateral lower abdominal flaps and bilateral free posteromedial thigh flaps transplantation for bilateral breast reconstruction.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients who underwent bilateral breast reconstruction using bilateral free lower abdominal flaps combined with bilateral free posteromedial thigh flaps in the Department of Oncology Plastic Surgery at Hunan Cancer Hospital from August 2021 to April 2023. The key points for developing and flexibly adjusting the surgical strategy were based on the anatomic characteristics of blood vessels in recipient area and donor area. Accurate measurement of the volume, shape, and extent of skin defects of the bilateral breast was performed through physical examination and imaging studies to determine the size and shape of the required flaps. The number of perforating vessels and blood supply capacity of the lower abdomen and the posterior internal donor area of both thighs were detected by Doppler or color ultrasound to determine the free/pedicled lower abdomen flap. On this basis, the placement of the posteromedial thigh flaps and the vascular anastomotic position were determined. Postoperative follow-up included monitoring for complications, evaluating the outcomes of breast reconstruction, assessing patient satisfaction, and examining the functional status of both the donor and recipient areas.Results:A total of 9 female patients were included, aged from 27 to 45 years old, with an average age of 37.4 years. Specifically, it included immediate breast reconstruction on 6 sides, immediate delayed breast reconstruction on 5 sides, and delayed breast reconstruction on 7 sides. There were three specific forms of lower abdominal skin flap, including pedicled rectus abdominis skin flap (4 sides), free rectus abdominis skin flap carrying partial rectus abdominis muscle (5 sides), and free inferior abdominal artery perforator skin flap (9 sides). There were four specific forms of free posteromedial thigh flap, including gracilis muscle flap (6 sides), gracilis muscle flap carrying partial gracilis muscle (4 sides), greater adductor muscle perforator flap (3 sides), and greater adductor muscle flap (5 sides). There were four specific skin flap combinations for reconstructing one side of the breast, including a pedicled rectus abdominis skin flap combined with a free lower abdominal skin flap (4 sides), a bilateral free lower abdominal skin flap (3 sides), a bilateral free posteromedial thigh skin flap (7 sides), and a combination of a free lower abdominal skin flap and a free posteromedial thigh skin flap (4 sides). All skin flaps survived smoothly without any significant complications. Follow up for 12-18 months, with an average of 14.7 months. The reconstructed breast had a good appearance, satisfactory texture, and was basically symmetrical. The skin flap donor area and breast recipient area only had linear scars, and there was no significant impact on the function of the thigh and abdominal wall.Conclusion:According to the blood vessels in the donor and recipient areas, the amount of tissue in the donor area, the amount of tissue required for breast reconstruction, and the shape of the breast, the combination of bilateral lower abdominal flaps and bilateral free posteromedial thigh flaps transplantation can reconstruct the symmetrical and beautiful bilateral breast, but the surgical strategy is relatively complicated. Vigorous process management can improve surgical safety and satisfaction.

Objective:To explore the strategies and technical points for breast reconstruction using free lower abdominal skin flap transplantation through lateral chest incision.Methods:The data of patients who underwent unilateral breast reconstruction with free lower abdominal flap transplantation using lateral thoracic incision in Hunan Cancer Hospital from October 2022 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Lateral thoracic incision was used in the recipient area. Firstly suitable radical mastectomy was performed for patients with early onset of breast cancer or recurrence after breast-conserving surgery, and prosthetic dilator removal or breast capsule release was performed for patients with dilator removed or capsular contracture after breast cancer prosthesis reconstruction. After that, the free lower abdominal skin flap breast reconstruction was completed under the same incision. During the operation, blood vessel preparation in the recipient area, skin flap preparation in the donor area, blood vessel anastomosis and breast shaping were completed successively according to the actual situation of the patient. Postoperative observation of complications, follow-up evaluation of reconstructed breast appearance and donor site healing were carred out.Results:A total of 15 female patients were included, aged range from 24 to 57 years old, with an average of 42.3 years old. There were 9 cases of early breast cancer, 2 cases of breast cancer recurrence after breast conserving surgery, 2 cases of breast cancer with dilator removed after breast reconstruction, and 2 cases of capsule contracture after breast cancer prosthesis reconstruction. The length of the lateral chest incision was 7.5-11.2 cm, with an average of 8.7 cm. Six cases were performed with 3/4 of the lower abdominal skin flaps, using a unilateral inferior abdominal vascular pedicle. The volume of the flaps ranged from 19.0 cm × 10.0 cm × 4.5 cm to 23.0 cm × 13.0 cm × 6.0 cm. The weight ranged from 280 to 510 g, with an average of 370 g. Nine cases were performed by cutting the entire lower abdominal skin flap and using bilateral inferior abdominal vascular pedicle. The volume of the skin flaps ranged from 27.0 cm × 11.0 cm × 5.0 cm to 30.0 cm × 14.0 cm × 6.5 cm. The weight ranged from 420 to 730 g, with an average of 530 g. Nine cases were selected as the main trunk of the thoracic and dorsal blood vessels, 4 cases were selected as the anterior serratus branch of the thoracic and dorsal blood vessels, and 2 cases were selected as the main trunk of the thoracic and dorsal blood vessels combined with the anterior serratus branch. One flap experienced venous crisis and the surgery failed, while the remaining 14 flaps survived smoothly. Follow-up period was 6-17 months, with an average of 10.4 months. The reconstructed breast had a satisfactory appearance and texture, without skin flap contraction or deformation. The skin flap donor area and breast recipient area only had linear scars, and there was no significant impact on abdominal wall and shoulder joint function. There was no tumor recurrence or metastasis during follow-up.Conclusion:When the side chest incision is used to perform the related operations of breast cancer radical resection, the free lower abdominal skin flap can be transplanted into the same incision for breast reconstruction. The effect is satisfactory, and the damage of the affected area is further reduced.

Objective:To explore the clinical value and therapeutic effects of endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy combined with immediate breast reconstruction using an oblique pedicled rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap(ORAMF).Methods:The data of patients admitted to Hunan Cancer Hospital from May to September 2023 who underwent breast cancer resection followed by immediate breast reconstruction with ORAMF were analyzed retrospectively. Surgical methods: firstly, axillary anterior sentinel lymph node biopsy and subcutaneous glandular excision for breast cancer were performed through a lateral chest incision using an endoscopic technique. Subsequently, a unilateral ORAMF was prepared by removing the epidermis and creating subcutaneous tunnels on the surface of the rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap under direct visualization. The subcutaneous tunnel of the flap was then extended to the deep surface of the breast with the assistance of an endoscope, allowing for the transfer of the ORAMF to reconstruct the breast. Post surgery, the flap survival was monitored, and after discharge, patients received enhanced anti-scar treatment and functional rehabilitation exercises. Follow-up assessments included the evaluation of the reconstructed breast shape, incision scarring in both the donor and recipient areas, abdominal wall function, tumor recurrence and metastasis.Results:A total of 8 female patients with unilateral breast cancer were included in this study, aged between 27 and 52 years, with a mean age of 41.7 years old. The body mass index of the patients ranged from 19.1 to 22.5 kg/m 2. All patients had early-stage breast cancer. During the operation the average mass of the resected breast was 245 g(ranging from 220 to 285 g). The length of the lateral thoracotomy incision varied from 6.9 to 9.5 cm, with a mean length of 7.7 cm. In 3 cases, the ipsilateral ORAMF was used for breast reconstruction, while in 5 cases, the contralateral ORAMF was utilized. The dimensions of the flap were as follows: length (20.4±0.7) cm, width (10.8±1.5) cm, thickness (5.4±0.9) cm, with the volume of the flap cutting ranging from 19.7 cm×9.2 cm×4.4 cm to 21.2 cm×11.8 cm×5.9 cm. All of the flaps exhibited good blood supply and survived successfully without the need for additional anastomotic vessels. The patients were followed up for a period of 8 to 10 months post-operation, with an average follow-up of 8.7 months. The reconstructed breasts maintained a good shape and texture, showing no contracture or deformation of the flap, and were generally symmetrical with the healthy breast. The incisions in both the flap donor area and the recipient area had healed well, leaving only linear scars, and the function of the abdominal wall was not significantly compromised. No recurrence or metastasis was observed during the follow-up period. Conclusion:The endoscopic technique helps to preserve the integrity of the breast skin tissue to the greatest extent possible, reducing scarring and assisting in the creation of subcutaneous tunnels to facilitate the transposition of the ORAMF for breast reconstruction. For carefully selected patients with moderately small breasts and ample subcutaneous tissue in the lower abdomen, the preparation of a unilateral ORAMF for breast reconstruction can yield superior results. This approach minimizes additional damage to the donor area, enhancing the safety of the surgery while significantly reducing the complexity of the operation.
