Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of ultrapulse fractional CO 2 laser in the treatment of mild to moderate orbital aging in Asians. Methods:From January 2018 to December 2018, 36 patients (72 eyes) with mild to moderate orbital aging were enrolled, 22 women and 14 men, with an average age of 32.4 years. Each patient was randomly divided into two groups. In the traditional operation group, 36 eyes received blepharoplasty through traditional inferior conjunctival approach. In the ultrapulsed fractional CO 2 laser group, 36 eyesunderwent blepharoplasty through the lower eyelid conjunctival approach assisted by optoelectronics. Both groups were treated with ultrapulsed fractional CO 2 laser for periorbital aging. The operation time, detumescence time and postoperative complications were compared. At the same time, the periorbital skin relaxation was treated by the combination of the two groups. The patients were followed up for 12 months. Results:In the traditional operation group, 11 cases were evaluated as Barton grade Ⅰ preoperatively, and the efficacy score was 0.64±0.21. In 25 cases of Barton grade Ⅱ the efficacy score was 1.34±0.34. 17 cases were Barton Ⅰ in photoelectric assisted group, and the efficacy score was 0.92±0.18. In 19 cases of Barton grade Ⅱ, the efficacy score was 1.71±0.42. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in Barton Ⅰ efficacy score, P<0.05 ( P=0.016); There was also a statistically significant difference between the two groups in efficacy score of Barton Ⅱ, P<0.05 ( P=0.039). The operation time of the photoelectric assisted group was (12.00±1.82) minutes, and the edema duration was (4.0±1.8) days. The duration of operation in the conventional surgery group was (16.00±3.75) minutes, and the duration of edema was (7.0±2.4) days. The operation time and edema duration in the photoelectric assisted group were both shorter than those in the traditional operation group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The blepharoplasty through traditional inferior conjunctival approach assisted with ultrapulsed fractional CO 2 laser has no obvious bleeding, with shorter operation time, swelling reduction time and the number of complications than the traditional operation.This method can solve the symptoms of blepharoplasty, lower eyelid skin relaxation and wrinkles around eyes. This method is worthy of promotion in the treatment of patients with mild to moderate periorbital aging.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of pre-expanded anterior perforator flap of transverse cervical artery in extensive facial and cervical scar reconstruction and contralateral pre-expanded thoracic random flap in relay in donor site repair.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. From May 2008 to December 2018, 10 patients with extensive facial and cervical scar after burns were treated in the Fourth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital, including 8 males and 2 females, aged 10-55 years. In the first stage of operation, two skin and soft tissue expanders of the same volume (with rated capacity of 250-600 mL) were respectively placed in the right side and left side of the chest according to the size of scar, and then the skin was expanded. The total amount of normal saline injected was 2 to 4 times of the rated capacity of the expander. In the second stage, the defect with area of 12 cm×8 cm-23 cm×15 cm caused by scar resection and release was repaired with unilateral pre-expanded anterior perforator flap of transverse cervical artery with area of 12 cm×9 cm-24 cm×16 cm. The contralateral pre-expanded thoracic random flap with the same area as that of the above-mentioned perforator flap was extended to repair the secondary defect with area of 8 cm×6 cm-17 cm×14 cm formed after transfer of the above-mentioned perforator flap. The exploration of perforating branch of transverse cervical artery, flap transfer and survival, injury repair, and complications were observed. The appearance and related function of donor and recipient sites and satisfaction of patients were followed up.Results:The perforating branches of transverse cervical artery appeared stably in the 10 patients. All the flaps were transferred to the recipient area without tension and survived. Both facial and cervical injuries were repaired successfully with no common complications. During the follow-up of 6 months-8 years, the color and texture of the pre-expanded anterior perforator flap of transverse cervical artery matched with the surrounding tissue, the functions of head raising and neck rotation of patients were significantly improved compared with those before operation, the color and texture of the flap transplanted in the first donor site matched with the original skin, linear scar left at the surgical incision, and 9 patients were satisfied with the restoration of the appearance and function of donor and recipient sites.Conclusions:The color and texture of the pre-expanded anterior perforator flap of transverse cervical artery match well with the face and neck, and the repairable area is large. After the perforator flap is removed, the secondary wound can be repaired with the pre-expanded thoracic random flap at the same time, and the injury of the chest donor site is alleviated. This relay repair method is a good choice for reconstructing extensive facial and cervical scar.

Objective: To explore the subunit strategy for perineal defect reconstruction and flap selection. Methods: This is a respective study of 21 patients, with perineal defect, during January 2008 to December 2018. All patients were admitted to the fifth section of Burn and Plastic Surgery in the Fourth Medical Center of the People′s Liberation Army General Hospital. There were 10 males and 11 females, aged from 4 to 68 years old, with the mean age of 26.4 years. The causes of injury included burn (n=11), trauma (n=2), Paget′s disease (n=2), Brown′s disease (n=2), perineal squamous cell carcinoma (n=3)and hemangioma (n=1). The perineum is divided into 4 subunits, according to the anatomical structure: a front area monsveneris or pubic symphysis, 2 middle areas (labia or scrotum) and a posterior area (anal). The defects ranged 23 cm×11 cm-5 cm×3 cm after perineal lesions were removed. Appropriate flaps were selected based on tissue defect. Results: Nine patients were repaired with superficial inferior epigastric artery flap, 3 patients were repaired with superficial circumflex iliac artery flap, and 2 patients were repaired with combined superficial inferior epigastric artery flap and superficial circumflex iliac artery island flap. Internal pudendal arterial perforator flap was performed in 5 patients, and anterolateral thigh perforator flap in 2 patients. The size of flap was 25 cm×12 cm-6 cm×3 cm. All flaps survived, and incisions were primary healing. Patients were followed up for 6 months to 9 years, with an average of 13 months. The patients were satisfied with the appearances and functions of the recipient and doner sites. Scars were concealed well. Conclusions Appropriate flap can be chosen to repair perineal defects, based on the subunit principle in perineum, in order to restore function and appearance, and achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Objective: To explore the clinical application of ultra-pulsed CO₂ laser skin abrasion combined with micro-skin graft in the treatment of skin depigmentation. Methods: From January 2010 to June 2014, depigmented skin specimens were used for ultra-pulsed CO₂ laser skin abrasion treatment, at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 mJ. HE stain was performed to observe the abrasion depth under the 100 times microscope view. The most appropriate parameter was set to completely remove the epidermis, and leave dermis undamaged. From January 2011 to December 2017, 16 patients with skin depigmentation, 12 males and 4 females, aged 12-47 years, were treated with super-pulsed carbon dioxide laser and autologous microdermis transplantation. At 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the operation, patients′ photos were record. The color improvement was analyzed using Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software. Results: The laser energy for complete epidermis removal is different at different sites. It is 50 mJ for back skin, 40 mJ for face and hand skin and 30 mJ for neck skin. After one year of follow-up, there was no hypertrophy scar caused by over-abrasion in all 16 patients. Combined with the micro-skingrafting, 15 patients with skin depigmentation were completely resolved, with more than 90%color improvement rate. The improvement rate was 75% in a patient with un-uniform appearance, due to part failure of micro-skin graft. The neck movement and uncertain fixation were the reasons. Conclusions The appropriate energy parameters can control the abrasion depth to avoid the hypertrophic scar. Combined with micro-skin graft, the depigmentation area can be improved with uniform color and reliable effect.

Objective To explore a method for repairing the appearance and function of the cheek aesthetic unit.Methods A single volume of 100 ml to 150 ml of tissue expander was implanted at the lower edge of the injury area on the cheek.The first injection was performed 5 days after the operation and twice a week after the injection.It took an average of about 4 months to complete the expansion,with 3-5 times over expanded.The lesions were resurfaced with the expanded flaps,and long term follow-up was observed for flap survival.Results 17 cases of cheek lesions had been successfully reconstructed,with the color,texture of the expanded flaps well matched to the surrounding skin after 3-12 months follow-up.The facial expression functions and configurations were satisfied.Conclusions Excessive expansion of the prefabricated skin flap of the jaw and neck can repair the cheek aesthetic unit successfully,which is a practical method and meets the needs of aesthetic unit repair.

Objective To analyze the curative effect of super-early keyhole surgery in treatment of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Methods Clinical data of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage who received treatment in our hospital from April 2010 to October 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the observation group ( keyhole surgery group) and the control group ( routine group) by different therapeutic methods. The operation time, rate of hematoma clearance, postoperative complications, and recovery of neu-ral function of the two groups were compared. Results The observation group had a shorter operation time than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 001). There was no singnificant difference between the two groups in rate of hematoma clear-ance at the time of tube drawing(P>0. 05). The observation group had less postoperative complications than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). The observation group had a lower rate of metabolic disorders than the control group with a statistically significant difference(P<0. 05). Patients of the observation group had a higher scores of SSS than patients of the control group 28 days after operation, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). 6 months after operation, the observation group had a bet-ter ADL than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). Conclusion Super-early keyhole surgery which has less intraoperative injury, postoperative complication, and metabolic disorders, can achieve a better effect than routine operation. And it is of better neural functional recovery.

Objective Island scapular flap (ISF) based on transverse branch of circumflex scapular artery is less reported than ISF based on ascending or descending branch. This article presented authors' experiences in correction of severe axillary burn scar contracture with ISF based transverse branch of circumflex scapular artery. Methods ISFs based transverse branch was harvested in 12 patients with 15 severe axillary burn scar contracture, rotating an arc of about 180°. Flap size was between 12 cm× 5cm to 20 cm × 10 cm. The donor site was closed primarily. Results All 15 flaps survived completely and axillary burn scar contracture was corrected successfully. 8 patients were satisfied with both the functional and aesthetic results after 1-3 years' follow-up. Conclusion ISF based transverse branch of circumflex scapular artery is a good choice for reconstruction of severe axillary burn scar contracture, especially for female patients or ones whose ISF based on ascending or descending branch could not be harvested because of formation of hypertrophic scar in donor site.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of surgical treatment for varied types of cicatricial blepharon deformities. Methods Eleven patients (16 eyes) suffering from cicatricial blepharon deformities underwent surgical procedures. 4 cases (7 eyes) were treated with free skin flap transfer; 1 case with free skin flap transfer and amniotic membrane grafting, 2 cases with Z plasty; 1 case with pedicled skin flap; 1 case with orbicularis oculi musculocutaneous flap; 1 case (2 eyes) with wedged tarsal excision and blepharoplasty, and 1 case with allografe of keratoconjunctiva and reconstraction of conjunctival sac. Results All of 11 cases (16 eyes) showed satisfactory appearance and eyelid function to certain extent after operations. Conclusion The repair of skin defect and conjunctival sac integrality is the key step in correction of cicatricial blepharon deformities, which may offer good eyelid position and function.
