Objective:To investigate the surgical treatment methods of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm combined with infectious wounds and to evaluate the clinical effects.Methods:The retrospective observational research method was used. Twelve patients with femoral artery pseudoaneurysm combined with infectious wounds who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine Wuxi Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital (Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University) from October 2014 to September 2022, including 6 males and 6 females, aged from 46 to 78 years. In the primary operation, debridement, tumor resection, and artery suture/venous grafting to repair the artery/artery ligation were performed, and the wound area after tumor resection ranged from 4.0 cm×1.5 cm to 12.0 cm×6.5 cm. Wounds that could be sutured were treated with tension reduction suture and extracutaneous continuous vacuum sealing drainage (VSD), while large wounds that could not be sutured were treated with VSD to control infection. In the secondary operation, tension reduction suture was performed to repair the wounds that could be sutured; large wounds were repaired with adjacent translocated flaps with area of 9.0 cm×5.0 cm to 15.0 cm×7.0 cm. Additionally, when the length of the exposed femoral artery was equal to or over 3.0 cm, the wounds were repaired with additional rectus femoris muscle flap with length of 15.0 to 18.0 cm. The donor areas of the flaps were directly sutured. The wound with artery ligation was treated with stamp skin grafting and continuous VSD. The bacterial culture results of the wound exudate samples on admission were recorded. The intraoperative blood loss, the location of femoral artery rupture, the artery treatment method, and the wound repair method in the primary operation were recorded, and the durations of catheter lavage, catheter drainage, and VSD treatment, and the drainage volume after the operation were recorded. The repair method of wounds in the secondary operation, the durations of catheter drainage and VSD treatment, and the total drainage volume after the operation were recorded. The survivals of flap/muscle flap/stamp skin grafts were observed, and the wound healing time was recorded. Follow-up after discharge was performed to evaluate the quality of wound healing and the walking function and to check whether the pulsatile mass disappeared. B-ultrasound or computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed again to observe potential pseudoaneurysm recurrence and evaluate the patency of blood flow of the femoral artery.Results:The bacterial culture results of wound exudate samples of all the patients were positive on admission. The blood loss was 150 to 750 mL in the primary operation. The arterial ruptures were located in the femoral artery in 8 cases, in the external iliac artery in 2 cases, and in the femoral arteriovenous fistula in 2 cases. Six cases received direct artery suture, 4 cases received autologous great saphenous vein grafting to repair the artery, 1 case received autologous great saphenous vein bypass surgery, and 1 case received artery ligation. The primary wound suture was performed in 4 cases, along with catheter lavage for 3 to 5 days, catheter drainage for 4 to 6 days, VSD treatment for 5 to 7 days, and a total drainage volume of 80 to 450 mL after the surgery. In the secondary operation, the wounds were sutured directly in 3 cases along with catheter drainage for 2 to 3 days, the wound was repaired with scalp stamp skin graft and VSD treatment for 5 days in 1 case, the wounds were repaired with adjacent translocated flaps in 2 cases with catheter drainage for 2 to 3 days, and the wounds were repaired with rectus femoris muscle flaps+adjacent translocated flaps in 2 cases with catheter drainage for 3 to 5 days . The total drainage volume after the secondary operation ranged from 150 to 400 mL. All the skin flaps/muscle flaps/skin grafts survived after operation. The wound healing time ranged from 15 to 36 days after the primary operation. Follow-up of 2 to 8 months after discharge showed that the wounds of all patients healed well. One patient who underwent femoral artery ligation had calf amputation due to foot ischemic necrosis, and the rest of the patients regained normal walking ability. The pulsatile mass disappeared in inguinal region of all patients. B-ultrasound or CTA re-examination in 6 patients showed that the blood flow of femoral artery had good patency, and there was no pseudoaneurysm recurrence.Conclusions:Early debridement, tumor resection, and individualized artery treatment should be performed in patients with femoral artery pseudoaneurysm combined with infected wounds. Besides, proper drainage and personalized repair strategy should be conducted according to the wound condition to achieve a good outcome.

Objective:To analyze the mechanism of acidified silk protein sponge matrices and methanolized silk protein sponge matrices in promoting wound healing.Methods:The experimental method was conducted. Acidified silk protein sponge matrices with vascularization ability and methanolized silk protein sponge matrices without vascularization ability were prepared by improved freeze-drying method. General observation was performed. Internal morphology was observed with scanning electron microscope. The secondary structure was observed with X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and infrared spectrometer. Compressive modulus was tested by tensile machine. Two 3-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used to isolate bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) cultured in above-mentioned two silk protein sponge matrices, the number of cells was counted under laser scanning confocal microscope after 1, 6 days of culture. Four full-thickness skin defect wounds were made on each one of twelve 8-week-old male SD rats, which were divided into methanolized silk group (24 wounds) and acidified silk group (24 wounds) covered with the corresponding silk protein sponge matrices. On post operation day (POD) 3, 7, 10, and 14, general observation was performed and the remaining wound area was recorded. On POD 3, 7, and 14, the wounds and marginal tissue were collected for hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) staining and Masson staining to observe growth of new tissue and collagen deposition and CD34 immunohistochemical staining to observe vascularization. Sample number of each index of each group at every time point in animal experiment was 6. Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance of factorial design, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, independent-samples t test, and Bonferroni correction. Results:Methanolized silk protein sponge matrices and acidified silk protein sponge matrices had the same composition and similar porous structure, with pore size of 300-500 μm. XRD showed that methanolized silk protein sponge matrices showed a significant crystallization peak, while acidified silk protein sponge matrices was mainly composed of amorphous structure. Infrared spectrometer showed that acidified silk protein sponge matrices appeared a strong absorption peak at 1 650 cm -1, and the methanolized silk protein sponge matrices appeared a strong absorption peak at 1 630 cm -1. Compressive modulus of methanolized silk protein sponge matrices was (23.8±1.3) kPa, which was significantly higher than (6.1±0.9) kPa of acidified silk protein sponge matrices ( t=19.550, P<0.01). After one day of culture, BMSCs successfully adhered to the two kinds of silk protein sponge matrices, and the cells were not spread. After six days of culture, BMSCs were spread on the two kinds of silk protein sponge matrices, and the number of cells on the acidified silk protein sponge matrices increased significantly. On POD 3, the wounds of the 2 groups did not shrink significantly. On POD 7, the wound area in acidified silk group was significantly smaller than that in methanolized silk group, and new epithelium growth occurred at the wound edge. On POD 14, the wounds of acidified silk group basically healed, and the wounds of methanolized silk group were dry and shrinked significantly. Remaining wound area of acidified silk group on POD 3, 7, 10, and 14 were significantly smaller compared with that in methanolized silk group ( t=7.782, 10.620, 3.707, 6.830, P<0.05 or P<0.01). HE staining, Masson staining, and CD34 immunohistochemical staining showed on POD 3, new tissue growing into silk protein sponge matrices of wounds of acidified silk group was more than that in methanolized silk group, the former group secreted a small amount of collagen, collagen formation was not observed in the latter group, the number of vascular endothelial cells migrated into the matrices were more in the former group than the latter group; on POD 7, the area of new tissue covering matrices hole of wounds of acidified silk group was larger than that in methanolized silk group, collagen in the former group was more than that in the latter group and was evenly distributed, the number of blood vessels in the former group was more than that on POD 3, and the new blood vessels in the latter group were scattered; on POD 14, the new tissue in acidified silk group was similar in structure to normal skin tissue and formed a certain thickness, the new tissue in methanolized silk group basically grew into the matrices, the former group had rich collagen deposition, the latter group had scattered collagen, and blood vessels in the former group distributed uniformly and density of blood vessels was significantly higher than that in the latter group ((55.7±6.0) and (34.1±1.0) pieces/mm 2, respectively, t=9.042, P<0.01). Conclusions:Angiogenesis-promoting acidified silk protein sponge matrices have good cytocompatibility, which can facilitate the rapid formation of vascular network in wound area, providing sufficient blood supply to accelerate the tissue regeneration and collagen deposition, thereby promoting wound healing and improving healing quality, these effects are better than methanolized silk protein sponge matrices.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of fractional carbon dioxide laser combined with autologous fat injection in the treatment of hypertrophic scar after burn.Methods:From April 2018 to April 2019, 12 patients with hypertrophic scar after burn who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Plastic Surgery and Burns of Xuzhou Renci Hospital, and were included in this prospective randomized controlled clinical study. There were 7 males and 5 females with age of (32±11) years and scar area of (612±195) cm 2. One scar was selected from each patient and divided into two equal area scars, and they were divided into combined treatment group and laser alone group with 12 scars in each group according to the random number table. The scar in laser alone group was only treated with fractional carbon dioxide laser, while the scar in combined treatment group was injected with autologous granular fat and then treated with fractional carbon dioxide laser. Scars in the two groups were treated once every 2 months, totally 3 times. Before the first treatment and 6 months after the last treatment, the scars in the two groups were evaluated by modified Vancouver Scar Scale (mVSS), hematoxylin-eosin staining and color Doppler ultrasound. Six months after the last treatment, the curative effect of scars in the two groups was evaluated, and the effective number of scar treatment was calculated. The adverse reactions during the whole treatment were recorded. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, paired sample t test, and McNemar exact probability method test. Results:Six months after the last treatment, the mVSS score of scars in combined treatment group was (4.5±0.4) points, which was significantly lower than (7.8±0.6) points in laser alone group ( t=10.000, P<0.01). Six months after the last treatment, the mVSS scores of scars in combined treatment group and laser alone group were significantly lower than those before the first treatment ((13.5±0.7) and (13.8±0.6) points, t=8.805, 9.010, P<0.01). The effective number of scar treatment in combined treatment group was significantly more than that in laser alone group ( P<0.05). There was no scar aggravation, infection, or other adverse reactions during the treatment of scars in both groups. Before the first treatment, the scars in both groups had large collagen, disordered arrangement, proliferation of capillaries, infiltration of some inflammatory cells, and disappearance of skin appendages. Six months after the last treatment, the scar collagen in both groups was sparse and orderly arranged, and the vascular density was reduced. The improvement of scars in combined treatment group was more obvious than that of laser alone group. Six months after the last treatment, the scar thickness in combined treatment group was significantly smaller than that in laser alone group ( t=2.657, P<0.05). Before the first treatment, the blood flow of scars in both groups was abundant; 6 months after the last treatment, the blood flow of scars in combined treatment group was significantly less than that in laser alone group. Conclusions:Fractional carbon dioxide laser combined with autologous fat injection in the treatment of hypertrophic scar after burn can significantly reduce the pain and itching symptoms of scar, and improve the thickness, texture, and congestion of scar. The combined treatment has synergistic effect and less adverse reactions, providing a more effective treatment for patients with hypertrophic scar.

The modulation of microenvironment is a key technology towards promoting wound repair and skin regeneration. In recent years, a series of new bioactive materials that modulate the microenvironment and cell behaviors have been developed, demonstrating highly efficient capability of inducing wound repair and skin appendage regeneration. This article summarizes the research development of related new bioactive materials and their mechanisms of action.

Skin injuries always disturb people's normal life, even seriously damage the body health. Thus, it is very necessary to use medical dressings to protect and treat skin wounds. Compared with traditional dressings, novel biological dressings develop more rapidly and their application scope is gradually expanding. Collagen is a natural biological material that can promote wound healing and it also has unique functional advantages in care and treatment. At present, collagen-based medical dressings has become one of the preferred choices to assist wound healing. The authors summarize the source, functional advantages and product classification of collagen-based dressings, and introduce the characteristics and applications of various collagen-based dressings, to provides a reference for further research of the collagen-based wound dressings.

Objective:To investigate the predominant serotypes and diversification of Echovirus (ECHOV) from viral encephalitis children in Quzhou area of Zhejiang province and the molecular characteristics of the ECHOV VP1 genes.Methods:Cerebrospinal fluid samples from 53 children with viral encephalitis were collected for viral isolation/culture. Fluorescent RT-PCR or PCR was used to detect human enteroviruses (HEV) including ECHOV, coxsackievirus(CoV) and new enterovirus (EV), and japanese encephalitis virus(JEV), mumps virus(MuV), west Nile virus(WNV) and chikungunya virus(CHLKV) or herpes simplex virus(HSV) and cytomegalovirus(CMV) in the cerebrospinal fluid samples. The complete VP1 gene sequence of HEV-B group in the HEV-positive cerebrospinal fluid samples was amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced, and then the typing of Echovirus isolates was performed. The VP1 genotypes of Echovirus isolates, gene recombination, inheritance and evolution characteristics were analyzed using multiple bioinformatic software.Results:Six viral strains were isolated by cell culture using rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells but not human epithelial-2 (Hep-2) cells. Eleven cerebrospinal fluid samples were positive for HEV by RT-PCR but the detection result of all the other viruses were negative. In the 11 HEV-positive samples, 6 samples were positive for ECHOV (4 for ECHO6, 1 for ECHO7 and 1 for ECHO30 serotype), which was coincident with the isolation result , but CoV and EV were undetectable. The 4 ECHO6 isolates belonged to ECHO6-C2 subgenotype but can be divided into two epidemic clones (ECHO6-41/46 and ECHO6-45/48). The ECHO7 and ECHO30 isolates belonged to ECHO7-C and ECHO30-C genotypes. The VP1 gene recombination between the ECHO6 and ECHO30 isolates were found during their evolutionary process.Conclusions:ECHOV is the major pathogen of viral encephalitis children in the area, and there is a possibility of local outbreak or epidemic. Because of the possibility of recombination of the VP1 gene of ECHO6 and ECHO30 virus, ECHO6 may become the dominant ECHOV serotype.

On November 29, 2019, in order to strengthen the management of the diagnosis and treatment of the chronic refractory wounds, the National Health Commission released a notice that requires the qualified medical institutions in China to establish wound repair department. To ease the concern that the establishment of wound repair department could hinder the construction and development of burn discipline, the authors put forward their views based on the necessity of establishing wound repair department, the space for the respective development of burn department and wound repair department, and how to coordinate the development of burn department and wound repair department. It is hoped that this paper would be used as a reference by doctors in both fields of burn care and wound repair.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of hierarchical medical mode path management on the continuous treatment for chronic wound patients.Methods:From June 2017 to September 2018, the clinical data of 101 patients with chronic wounds who were just discharged from Department of Wound Repair of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University (hereafter referred to as the author′s affiliation) and still needed continuous treatment, meeting the inclusion criteria, were analyzed with the method of retrospective cohort study. Based on the management method of continuous treatment after discharge, the patients were divided into path management group (52 patients, 27 males and 25 females, aged (44±6) years, 57 wounds) and conventional management group (49 patients, 26 males and 23 females, aged (45±6) years, 53 wounds). The patients in path management group were carried out with full-path management under hierarchical medical mode, and the patients in conventional management group were carried out with conventional continuous treatment management. The discharge time from the author′s affiliation was the time before continuous treatment management (hereafter referred to as before management), and 12 weeks post discharge was the time after continuous treatment management (hereafter referred to as after management). The depression and anxiety of patients in two groups were assessed by Hamilton Depression Scale 24 item version (HAMD-24) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and the positive ratios of depression and anxiety were calculated. The effective rates of wound treatment, times of debridement and dressing change, and treatment cost during the continuous treatment management period were counted. Data were statistically analyzed with two independent sample t test, chi-square test, Fisher′s exact probability test, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results:(1) Before management, the HAMD-24 and SAS scores of patients in two groups were similar. After management, the HAMD-24 and SAS scores of patients in path management group were significantly lower than those of conventional management group ( t=4.341, 3.840, P<0.01). Before and after management, the positive rates of depression and anxiety of patients in two groups were similar. (2) After management, the effective rate of wound treatment of patients in path management group was 98.25% (56/57), which was significantly higher than 86.79% (46/53) of conventional management group ( χ2=5.341, P<0.05). (3) During the management, the times of debridement and dressing change in patients of path management group was 20±4, which was significantly less than 27±7 of conventional management group ( t=5.833, P<0.01). (4) During the management, the treatment cost of patients in path management group was (2 479±213) yuan, which was significantly less than (5 215±326) yuan of conventional management group ( t=50.185, P<0.01). Conclusions:In the continuous treatment of chronic wound patients, the full-path management under hierarchical medical mode can improve the effective rate of wound treatment, reduce the times of debridement and dressing change and treatment cost, and improve their psychological state.
