Objective:To discuss the procedure for correction of inverted nipple using tiny incision with primary breast ducts reserved.Methods:A total of 35 patients (63 sides) with primary inverted nipples from January 2006 to March 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Tiny radial incisions were made on the areola around the base of the inverted nipple which had been pulled out. Without skin removed, shorten fiber bundles which caused nipple inverted were totally cut and released. While the primary breast ducts were preserved, purse-string suture was taken around the base of the nipple. The nipple protector was prepared by ourselves, and the nipple was pulled and suspended for 2-6 months.Results:Sixty-three sides of 35 patients with inverted nipples were successfully corrected by this minimally invasive surgery. There was no nipple necrosis. One patient developed mild swelling 3 weeks after operation, and the swelling subsided after symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment. The average follow-up period was 39 months. After removing the nipple protector, 2 sides (2/63) had a certain degree of recurrence. The rest of the nipples had ideal shape, no obvious scar, good nipple feeling, and retained the possibility of lactation.Conclusions:The procedure for correction of inverted nipple using tiny incision with primary breast ducts reserved has advantages of minimal invasion, safety, less pain, while retaining the possibility of lactation in the future. The clinical effect is satisfactory. It is especially suitable for the correction of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ inverted nipples.

Objective:To investigate the application value and clinical effect of tissue expansion in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.Methods:From January 2013 to May 2019, 173 patients (38.2±8.0 years old) with body mass index (BMI) of (21.5±2.1) kg/m 2 were treated in Peking University Third Hospital. There were 76 cases on the right side and 97 cases on the left side; 8 cases underwent nipple sparing mastectomy, and 165 cases underwent modified radical mastectomy; 150 cases received chemotherapy and 9 cases received radiotherapy. In the first stage, immediate or delayed chest wall soft tissue expansion was performed. In the second stage, implant replacement, autologous tissue transplantation, or the combination of these two methods was performed to complete the breast reconstruction. All patients were followed up and the clinical effect was evaluated by Harris evaluation method. Results:Among 173 cases, 95 cases were provided immediate reconstruction, and 78 cases were applied delayed reconstruction. The period of tissue expansion was (7.7±3.2) months. During the second stage of reconstruction, implant exchange was conducted in 105 cases, 48 cases received implant exchange with autologous fat injection, 17 cases were performed implant exchange with endoscopy-assisted latissimus dorsi muscle transfer, and 3 cases were applied deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEP) transplantation. The average follow-up time was 12.6 months (3.5-41.0 months). One patient had local tumor recurrence, and the implant was finally removed. The reconstruction effects were evaluated by Harris method, which showed that 23 cases had excellent appearance, 129 cases were good, 13 cases were fair, 7 cases were poor, and 88.4% (152/172) patients were good or above.Conclusions:Tissue expansion plays an important role as a transfer station in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. In the second stage, the breast reconstruction method can be flexibly selected. Tissue expansion has a wide range of indications, and is especially suitable for immediate post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. Good result can be obtained by using this technique.

Objective To explore the social factors of health among staff of urban workers in Liaoning province and to provide scientific evidence for preparing propagation strategies. Methods Two thousand five hundred urban workers were surveyed using stratified, random sampling in Dandong city and Yingkou city of Liaoning province. The participants were investigated through questionnaires. Results Two thousand four hundred forty eight valid questionnaires were obtained. The self-rated health score of the respondents was 84.37 ± 13.72. The results of multiple linear reason showed that those with low family income satisfaction (B = -2.923,P = 0.019,95% CI:-5.360——0.485),many working hours per day (B = -3.749,P = 0.023,95% CI:-6.98——0.518),poor leadership (B = -3.688,P =0.014,95% CI:-6.608——0.768),and low job satisfaction (B = -2.012,P = 0.034,95% CI:-3.869——0.156) had lower self-rated health scores. However,those with more harmonious families (B = 3.105,P = 0.017,95% CI:0.565-5.645) and types of social support (B = 2.684,P = 0.003,95% CI:0.926-4.442) had higher self-rated health scores. Conclusion Social factors affecting health among staff of urban workers in Liaoning province are family income satisfaction,working hours per day,leadership approval degree,job satisfaction, social support and others.

Objective To study arterial distribution of rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap and to evaluate whether it can be divided into several units for reconstruction. Methods The arteries of the rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap were studied on 60 sides of cadavers by dissection and angiography. Results The superior epigastric artery (SEA) and the inferior epigastric artery (IEA) continued in a longitudinal direction. Most of their branches took on a typical spiral configuration and communicated with each other within muscle above the level of umbilicus. Many perforating arteries penetrated through the anterior rectus sheath to get to the overlying skin, but the highest concentration of major perforators were in the paraumbilical area. The inferior epigastric artery was more significant than superior epigastric artery in supplying the skin of the musculocutaneous flap. Based on thefstudies of the vascular anatomy of muscles, we could classify arterial distribution into 3 types: type Ⅰ (SEA 26.5 %, IEA 34.6%) revealed a single main intramuscular artery: type Ⅱ (SEA 64.7 %, IEA 48.1%) had two major intramuscular branches; type Ⅲ (SEA 8.8%, IEA 17.3 %) revealed three intramuscular branches. Our anatomic studies showed that the superior and inferior epigastric artery bifurcated or divided into more than two main branches in the majority of cases (SEA 73.5%, IEA 65.4%). Conclusion The rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap could often be divided into several regions for breast construction which is based on the distribution of each branch of the artery.
