Objective:To explore the clinical effects of expanded flap made by skin and soft tissue expander (hereinafter referred to as expander) in repairing the wounds with exposed titanium mesh after cranioplasty with titanium mesh.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. From April 2015 to October 2019, 13 patients with wounds with exposed titanium mesh after cranioplasty with titanium mesh were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, including 10 males and 3 females, aged 18 to 70 years. Exposure of titanium mesh occurred 3 months to 4 years after cranioplasty with titanium mesh. The wound area of exposed titanium mesh ranged from 1.5 cm×0.6 cm to 6.3 cm×6.0 cm. In the first stage, one or two square expanders with rated capacity of 50-200 mL were placed under the normal scalp 1 cm away from the edge of the wound surface of exposed titanium mesh. The water injection time was 2 to 3 months with the total water injection volume being 1.6 to 2.0 times of the rated capacity of expander. In the second stage, the expander was removed and the expanded flap (size ranging from 4.1 cm×1.8 cm to 9.1 cm×7.9 cm) was transferred to repair the wound of exposed titanium mesh. The placement site of the expander, the transfer form of the expanded flap, the postoperative wound healing of the titanium mesh exposed site, and the survival of expanded flap were recorded. The scar of the head incision and the appearance of head were followed up.Results:Among the patients in this group, the expanders of 7 were placed in the temporal region, while the other 6 were placed at the top. The 11 patients were treated with advanced expanded flap, while the other 2 patients were treated with pedicled expanded flap. The head wounds of patients in this group successfully healed with retaining of the titanium mesh. The wound was healed after dressing change in 1 patient with necrosis at the tip of the expanded flap. The expanded flaps of 12 patients survived after transfer. Patients in this group were followed up for 12 months after surgery, the exposed titanium meshes were retained, the incisions healed well with the scars concealed, the hair on the scalp grew well, and the appearance of head was comparatively good.Conclusions:Using expanded flap in the repair of the wounds with exposed titanium mesh after cranioplasty with titanium mesh can effectively cover the wound and retain the titanium mesh, achieving good function and appearance.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of skin-stretching device (hereinafter referred to as stretcher) combined with vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) in repairing diabetic foot wounds.Methods:From March 2016 to January 2020, 25 patients with diabetic foot wounds were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, including 18 males and 7 females, with age of 40 to 70 years. After debridement, intermittent VSD was performed for 3 to 10 days, with negative pressure value of -10.67 kPa. Then, the wound area was 5.0 cm×3.0 cm to 10.0 cm×7.0 cm. After infection control and detumescence, the wound was treated with stretcher for 3 to 5 days. The wound area after stretching ranged from 5.0 cm×0.3 cm to 10.0 cm×0.5 cm. The wound was closed with full-thickness suture. Two weeks after the suturing operation, the healing grade of the foot wound of patients was observed, and the serious complications such as recurrence of ulcer wound and gangrene on the foot, scar condition of the wound were observed during follow-up.Results:Two weeks after the suturing operation, the wounds of 23 patients were healed with grade A. Soft tissue infection ulcer relapsed in 2 patients during the stretch period. After anti-infection, thorough debridement, and VSD, the wounds were healed after another 16 days of stretch treatment. During the follow-up of 3 to 36 months, 23 patients had linear scar left on the stretch wounds, and the skin elasticity, color, sensation was similar to the surrounding normal tissue, and the limb mobility was good, and 2 patients had obvious scar hyperplasia. One patient had recurrence of diabetic foot and serious vascular occlusion and gangrene in the affected limb at follow-up of 10 months, which was treated with amputation of the lower leg.Conclusions:The use of stretcher combined with VSD in treating diabetic foot wound can avoid donor site injury, with healed wound achieving similar appearance to adjacent skin and satisfactory repair effects.

Objective:
To observe the effects of the method of combining free superficial temporal fascia flaps with skin grafts in repairing deep wounds in posterior ankle region of extensively burned patients.
Methods:
From September 2013 to February 2017, 11 extensively burned patients with deep tissue defects in posterior ankle region were treated in our unit. Two patients had tissue defects in bilateral posterior ankle regions. The wound sizes ranged from 5.8 cm×4.6 cm to 11.7 cm×5.2 cm. Free superficial temporal fascia flaps with the same sizes as the wounds were designed and resected to repair wounds in posterior ankle regions after debridement. The proximal end of superficial temporal veins and posterior tibial veins were performed with end-to-end anastomosis, and superficial temporal arteries and posterior tibial arteries were performed with end-to-side anastomosis. Skin grafts were resected to cover the superficial temporal fascia flaps according to patients′ condition of donor sites. The donor sites were sutured directly.
Results:
All fascial flaps in 11 patients survived, while 2 skin grafts had partial necrosis, and they healed after secondary skin graft. All patients were followed up for 6 to 13 months, and the shape and function of the operation sites in all patients recovered well.
Conclusions
The method of combining free superficial temporal fascia flaps with skin grafts can repair deep wounds in posterior ankle regions of extensively burned patients. It has the advantages of good appearances in the recipient sites, strong resistances to infection of fascia flaps, minimal damages to the donor sites, short course of disease, and good prognosis of patients.

Objective To establish and verify the fluctuation of reference intervals for biochestry parameters in routine physical exami-nation. Methods The results of biochemistry parameters,i.e., total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), total bilirubin (T-Bil), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glucose (Glu), urea (Urea), creatinine (Cr), uric acid (UA), triacylglycerol (TG) and total cholesterol ( TC) from 2 089 healthy subjects in routine physical examination during consecutive 2014, 2015 and 2016 were randomly collected, in which all the results were within the reference range. The ratio (λ1) of the results of 2015 to those of 2014, and ratio (λ2) of the re-sults of 2016 to those of 2015 were calculated. λ1was analyzed statistically to establish the fluctuation of reference interval (CIλ). CIλ was verified by λ2.The personalized reference interval (CIp) was established by multiplying each result of 2015 and the upper and low-er limits of CIλ. The CIpwas verified by the results of 2016. The ratios of CIpto the upper and lower limits of conventional reference in-terval were calculated. Results The values of CIλwere as follows: TP: 0.91 to 1.08, Alb: 0.91 to 1.08, T-Bil: 0.58 to 1.74, ALT:0.49 to 1.99, Glu: 0.84 to 1.20, Urea: 0.67 to 1.50, Cr: 0.82 to 1.22, UA: 0.77 to 1.32, TG: 0.51 to 1.98 and TC: 0.80 to 1.26. Compared with conventional reference interval, the ratio of the upper and lower limits of CIp was lessened. Conclusion The personal-ized reference interval (CIp) which may increase the sensitivity of conventional reference intervals was established and verified.

Objective:
Strategy for wound repair of skin and soft tissue defect and systematic rehabilitation treatment for functional reconstruction of patients with severe burn or trauma on knees.
Methods:
From January 2015 to October 2016, 26 patients with skin and soft tissue defect on knees after severe burn or trauma were hospitalized in our unit. Among these patients, 14 patients had patellar ligament defect, and 16 patients had knee joint capsule defect. Wound debridement was operated on 1 to 3 days after admission. After debridement, the area of skin and soft tissue defect ranged from 10 cm×7 cm to 42 cm×18 cm. Vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) treatment was performed after debridement, and flap transplantation operation was performed after VSD treatment for 5 to 7 days. Defects of nine patients were treated with local rotation flaps. Seven patients with skin and soft tissue defects on knees and knee joint capsule defects of 5 cm×3 cm to 9 cm×7 cm were treated with free anterolateral femoral flaps combined with fascia lata. Ten patients with skin and soft tissue defects on knees and patellar ligament defects of 6 cm×3 cm to 12 cm×4 cm were treated with free anterolateral femoral flaps combined with iliotibial tract. The area of flaps ranged from 11 cm×9 cm to 22 cm×15 cm. After flap transplantation operation, functional reconstruction of knee joint was carried out according to early, continuous, and sequential systematic rehabilitation treatment strategy. The pain degree and function of knee joint of patients were scored by the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Knee Evaluation Form before operation and 12 months after operation. The knee joint flexion and extension degrees of patients were measured by joint protractor in 2 weeks and 12 months after operation. The color Doppler ultrasound was used to evaluate integrity of knee joint capsule and continuity of patellar ligament of patients in 6 and 12 months after operation.
Results:
All flaps of 26 patients survived well, and wounds healed completely after the operation. Distal parts of flaps of 2 patients treated with free anterolateral femoral flaps had local necrosis after the operation, and their wounds healed after debridement and transplantation of autologous intermediate split-thickness skin graft of thigh. The IKDC Knee Evaluation Form score of patients was (79±8) points in 12 months after operation, which was significantly higher than (64±7) points before operation (
