Objective To investigate the differences in human epidermal factor receptor 2(HER-2)expression between urothelial bladder carcinoma(UBC)and upper tract urothelial carcinoma(UTUC)and the relationship between HER-2 expression and disease recurrence and progression.Methods Clinical data of 184 patients with urothelial carcinoma admitted in our hospital during Nov.2015 and Jun.2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into UBC group and UTUC group.The positive expression rate of HER-2,recurrence-free survival(RFS)and progression-free survival(PFS)of the two groups were compared,and the survival curve was drawn.The effects of HER-2 expression on the recurrence and progression of disease were analyzed with Cox proportional hazards model.Results The positive expression of HER-2 was significantly higher in UBC patients than in UTUC patients(49.6％vs.32.2％,P=0.027).Among UTUC patients,there was no statistically significant difference in the positive expression of HER-2 in those with renal pelvis cancer and ureteral cancer(30.6％vs.34.8％,P＞0.05).Cox analysis showed that HER-2 positive expression affected UBC recurrence(P＜0.001),but had no effects on the recurrence and progression of UTUC;HER-2 positive expression(P＜0.001),tumor diameter ≥3 cm(P＜0.001),stage ≥T2(P=0.003)and multiple tumor foci(P=0.033)affected the progression of UBC.Conclusion The positive expression of HER-2 is significantly higher in UBC than in UTUC,which can increase the risk of recurrence and progression of UBC,but has no significant effects on the recurrence and progression of UTUC.HER-2 expression is not recommended to independently predict the risk of recurrence and progression of UTUC.

Objective:To explore the feasibility for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in limbs and trunk with perforator pedicled kite flap, and to summarise its clinical efficacy.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 14 patients with soft tissue defects and admitted to the Department of Hand Microsurgery of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2016 to September 2023. Among the 14 patients (6 males and 8 females), 7 had defects in calf, 2 in sacrococcygeal area, 2 in the back and 3 in forearm. All of the defects were reconstructed with the perforator pedicled kite flaps, of which 6 flaps had the pedicles of single perforator, 3 of 2 perforators, 4 of 3 perforators and 1 of 5 perforators. Single V-Y advancement flaps were used for defect reconstruction in 8 patients, and double V-Y advancement flaps were used in 6 patients. The size of the defects ranged from 2.2 cm×1.8 cm to 8.0 cm×16.0 cm, and the size of the flaps ranged from 3.0 cm×5.5 cm to 9.0 cm×23.0 cm. All donor sites were closed directly. Postoperative follow-up was conducted at outpatient clinic, by telephone reviews and WeChat after surgery, to observe the flap survival and postoperative complications.Results:All flaps survived completely. All the flaps and donor sites healed primarily. The postoperative follow-up lasted for 3 to 36 (mean, 14.5) months. Thirteen flaps presented with soft texture, good appearance, with similar texture to the surrounding skin and without obvious swelling. The patients were satisfied with the aesthetic outcomes. One patient had a local ulcer with exudation at the recipient site and the ulcer healed after removal of the steel plate and thoroughly debridement.Conclusion:With a perforator pedicled kite flap, vascular anastomosis or sacrifice of a second donor site can be avoided. A perforator pedicled kite flap can be applied to many recipient sites, with a simple surgical procedure and a good postoperative appearance. It is an ideal flap for reconstruction of small to medium-sized soft tissue defects in trunk and limbs. More studies are required to evaluate the feasibility of the flap to be applied in local hospitals.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and clinical effect of the computer assisted design of the lobulated perforator flap based on the descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery(d-LCFA) to reconstruct the soft tissue defects of heel.Methods:From October 2014 to November 2016, a computer assisted virtual technology was used to simulate the process of pre-operative design, isolation, and harvest of d-LCFA perforating flaps. This method was used to guide the design and harvest of the flap of d-LCFA in the repair of large-area soft tissue defects of the heel in all of the 5 patients. One patient received a combine flap of the d-LCFA flap and the perforating branch of the inferior abdominal artery flap(DIEPF). Heel appearance and function were reconstructed in phase I together with the repair of the defect. Donor site was directly sutured. The recovery effect was followed-up in the clinic.Results:The 3D visualised model of the vessels in the donor area for quadriceps artery was successfully established in all 5 patients, and the design and removal of the perforating flap were successfully guided. All the 10 flaps survived successfully in 5 patients, except 1 patient had a backflow disorder at the distal end of the inferior epigastric artery perforator flap, with partial necrosis and II grafting. After 6 to 12 months of follow-up(mean, 8.7 months), the flap showed good in colour and texture, with satisfactory heel appearance. The donor site was left with a linear scar.Conclusion:Computer assisted design technology can effectively help in the design of the polyfoliate perforator flap pedicled with d-LCFA, using this technique to assist the design and repair of large area soft tissue defect of heel could reconstruct the shape of heel in phase I and restore the function of the heel to the maximum extent.

Objective:To understand the current situation of nursing informatics competencies of head nurses in a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital and to provide more scientific evidence for the training program of informatics competencies of nursing managers.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. In March 2021, a cluster sampling method was used to select 127 head nurses from Peking University Third Hospital as research subjects. The General Information Questionnaire and Nursing Informatics Competency Scale were used to conduct an on-site questionnaire survey. A total of 127 questionnaires were distributed in this survey, 110 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the effective recovery rate was 86.6%.Results:The total score of nursing informatics competencies of 110 head nurses was (133.54±18.23) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that learning computer-related skills, participating in nursing information-related learning or training, and the department in which the department was located were the main factors affecting the nursing informatics competencies of head nurses ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The nursing informatics competencies of head nurses is generally at the middle and upper level, but the nursing information operation ability is low. There are differences in the informatics competencies of head nurses in different departments. Information training and learning can improve the nursing informatics competencies. It is suggested that hospitals should pay attention to the construction of nursing information in departments and strengthen nursing information. Competency course training to enhance the nursing informatics competencies of head nurses.

This study summarizes the relevant research on the cultivation of clinical nurses' nursing informatics competency at home and abroad, understands the current status of clinical nurses' informatics competency training, so as to provide a reference for the cultivation of clinical nurses' nursing informatics competency and the construction of training programs.

Objective:To introduce a novel surgical technique for dissecting perforator vessels (orderly retrograde four-side dissection) in anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTPF) and explore its clinical outcome.Methods:Respective analysis of 94 patients who underwent reconstruction of soft tissue defects with ALTPF which were dissected by orderly retrograde four-side dissection between June, 2013 and December, 2016. After surgery, the survival of flaps, recovery in shape and function of the recipient sites, and the effect on shape and function of the donor sites were observed.Results:The size of ALTPF ranged from 7 cm×5 cm to 32 cm×10 cm. Ninety-four perforators were included in 94 ALTPF, which were 89 perforators of the descending branch of circumflex femoral lateral artery, 4 perforators of the transverse branch of circumflex femoral lateral artery and 1 perforator of femoral medial artery. The time for flap harvesting was 35-95(54.39±16.39) min. Success rate of perforator harvesting was 98.9%, only 1 perforator was injured and another encountered vasospasm during surgery. Three cases had vascular crisis after flap transfer with 2 venous crises and 1 artery crisis. All of the flaps completely survived except 1 that had a partial necrosis. The follow-up time was (12.91±9.17) months. No muscular weakness on donor sites was shown in all cases.Conclusion:Orderly retrograde four-side dissection of perforator vessels in the ALTPF has achieved less donor site morbidity, shorter surgical time and is safer than the traditional techniques. It is a reliable technique to harvest perforator flaps.

A child who suffered a complex and exceptionally large soft tissue defects of both lower extremities and feet was referred in January, 2017. A debulking deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEPF) was used to cover the defect in right shank. The defects in left shank and foot were reconstructed by latissimus dorsi flap and bilateral debulking anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTPF) . Two years after operation, the appearance and texture of both lower limbs were good, and the child could walk and run almost normally. There were slightly noticeable scars left in both thighs and the back.

Objective:To explore the curative effects of thoracodorsal artery chimeric perforator flap used to repair extremity soft tissue defects complicated with a deep dead cavity.Methods:From July 2014 to July 2019, 17 patients with extremity soft tissue defects complicated with a deep dead cavity were repaired by a thoracodorsal artery chimeric perforator flap at Department of Orthopaedics, Xiangya Hospital. They were 10 males and 7 females, aged from 2 to 39 years (mean, 20.2 years). There were 7 cases of traffic accident trauma, 5 ones of chronic osteomyelitis, 2 ones of crushing injury and 3 ones of radical resection of tumor. The defects were located at the lower extremity in 15 cases and at the upper extremity in 2. The wound sizes ranged from 5 cm × 3 cm to 24 cm × 9 cm. All the wounds were complicated somewhat with a dead cavity or exposure of deep tissues after debridement. The muscular component of thoracodorsal artery chimeric perforator flap was used to fill the dead cavity while the skin component to cover the superficial wounds. The flap donor sites were closed directly. The flap survival and donor site recovery were followed up regularly after operation. The curative effects were assessed according to the comprehensive evaluation criteria of hand surgery for flaps.Results:Necrosis of the distal flap occurred in only one case which responded to dressing change; the flaps survived uneventfully in the other 16 cases. The recipient and donor sites of flaps healed primarily in all patients. Venous crisis developed in one case which survived uneventfully after vascular crisis exploration. The 17 patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months (mean, 15.8 months). In all patients the flap presented with good color, texture and elasticity but without obvious swelling. At the last follow-up, the curative effects by the comprehensive evaluation criteria of hand surgery for flaps were excellent in 10 cases, good in 6 and fair in one. Only linear scar remained at the flap donor site and abduction of the shoulder was not affected.Conclusion:The thoracodorsal artery chimeric perforator flap is an ideal means for repair of extremity soft tissue defects complicated with a deep dead cavity because it can repair the deep dead cavity and body surface wounds at the same time only after anastomosis of a bundle of vascular pedicles.

Objective:To explore the effects of specially formed radial collateral artery perforator flaps in reconstruction of the complex digit defects.Methods:From April, 2014 to March, 2020, 20 patients with multiple digit injuries combined with bone defects were treated by digit reconstruction with radial collateral artery chimeric and polyfoliate perforator flaps. Of the 20 patients, 7 patients were treated by chimeric perforator flaps, 12 by polyfoliate perforator flaps and 1 by chimeric polyfoliate perforator flap. Altogether 28 perforator flaps and 13 bone flaps were taken. The size of perforator flaps were 9.5 cm×4.0 cm to 4.0 cm×2.0 cm, and bone flap were 1.5 cm×0.6 cm×0.6 cm to 2.5 cm×1.0 cm×0.6 cm. All the donor sites were closed directly. Regular follow-up was performed. Function and clinical effect evaluation of repaired digits were made according to the Standard for Upper Limb Function Assessment of Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association and Sensory Function Assessment Criteria of British Medical Research Council (BMRC).Results:Twenty-seven flaps survived without any event. Venous congestion occurred in 1 flap with partial skin necrosis. Postoperative follow-up lasted from 3 months to 3.5 years (average 17.5 months). The appearance and texture of all flaps were good. All bone flaps properly healed. Sensory recovery achieved S 4 in 8 flaps, S 3 in 16 flaps and S 2 in 4 flaps. Hand function evaluation showed excellent in 12 patients and good in 8 patients. Conclusion:The specially formed radial collateral artery perforator flaps have the features of various designs with reliable blood supply, and are effective in repair of multiple digit injuries combined with soft tissue and bone defects.
