Objective:To explore the clinical effects of a single stage reconstruction and revascularization using a free Flow-through chimeric anterolateral thigh perforator (ALTP) flap in Gustillo III C limb injuries.Methods:From January, 2010 to December, 2017, 17 patients with Gustillo III C injury of extremities were repaired with Flow-through chimeric ALTP in emergency surgeries. The patients were 16 males and 1 female with mean age of 32.4 (19-55) years. The size of wounds ranged from 16 cm×8 cm-45 cm×30 cm. The injured arteries were Flow-through anastomosed with the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery to regain blood flow. The deep dead space was filled with vastus lateralis flap, and the skin flap and fascia flap were used for superficial covering. The donor site was closed directly in 6 patients, simultaneous skin grafts were applied in 11 patients.Results:The followed-up time ranged 5 to 60 (average 21.8) months, and conducted by clinic visits and by telephone or WeChat interviews. Fifteen flaps survived, and 2 flaps failed with limb amputated. Six patients were repaired with skin and fascia flaps and 11 patients received flaps comprising the skin, fascia and vastus lateralis muscle. Four flaps healed in stage I. Partial necrosis were observed in 11 flaps. Of which, 1 healed by change of dressing and 10 healed by skin grafting. No complications occurred in donor site in all patients.Conclusion:The Flow-through chimeric ALTP flap can be used in stage I reconstruction of the blood supply of limbs and meanwhile achieve the 3-D repair of defects. It is one of the reliable methods in the reconstruction of Gustillo III C injuries in the extremities.

Objective To investigate the distribution of genotypes in chronic HBV infection (CHB) and acute HBV infection (AHB) patients in Shanghai. Methods Sixty-two patients with AHB and 73 patients with CHB admitted to ('hanghai Hospital of Shanghai between 2003 and 2007 were studied. Viral genotypes of all the patients were determined by direct gene sequencing.Meanwhile, epidemiological, clinical and biochemical parameters of all patients were collected. Mean values of different groups were compared by t test while frequency was compared by chi square test. Results The major prevalent genotypes in both AHB and CHB patients were genotype B and C (48.4% vs 51.6% in AHB patients and 26.0% vs 74.0% in CHB patients). The proportion of genotype B was higher in AHB patients compared to CHB patients (P= 0.02). Epidemiological factors and clinical outcomes were not statistically different among patients with different viral genotypes. The proportion of genotype C was much higher in CHB patients compared to AHB patients (P=0.006). The main transmission route of AHB was heterosexual interaction which was 18 out of 62 (29.0%), but in CHB patients, it was prenatal transmission which was 38 out of 73 (52.1%). Conclusions In shanghai, the main HBV genotypes in both AHB and CHB patients are genotype B and C. The proportion of genotype B is relatively high in AHB patients while proportion of genotype C is more common in CHB patients. There is no significant relationship between genotypes and the clinical outcomes of AI-IB patients.

Objective To analyze clinical courses and rescue therapies of adefovir-resistant chronic hepatitis B patients who had lamivudine resistance before and then changed to take adefovir dipivoxil. Methods 15 patients resistant to lamivudine were retrospectively analyzed, who had virological breakthrough after adefovir dipivoxil monotherapy and were treated with rescue therapy.Adefovir-resistant mutations were detected by direct sequencing of the HBV polymerase gene. Results 15 patients with former lamivudine resistance were treated with adefovir dipivoxil monotherapy for a median of 16 months, and 14 patients were found adefovir-resistant mutations at rtA181T/V and(or) rtN236T, only 1 patient was found multi-mutations at rtM204I + rtL180M + rtA181T. Rescue therapies were given to all the 15 patients after drug resistance. Among the 7 patients treated with lamivudine in combination with adefovir for 3 months,whose HBV DNA levels decreased (2.2±0.6)lg copy/mL on average, 5 patients achieved HBV DNA undetectable after 6 months combinative therapy. The HBV DNA levels of the 3 patients treated with entecavir decreased 2.8~3.5 lg copy/mL within 6 months treatment. Conclusion These preliminary data suggest the combination of lamivudine and adeforvir dipivoxil may be an effective rescue therapy for adefovir-resistant patients who have former lamivudine resistance.
