The ABRACL protein, the regulator of actin and cell motility, belongs to the HSPC280 family, and its conserved hydrophobic groove can interact with other proteins to facilitate actin motility and cellular activity. ABRACL is upregulated in tumor tissues and is closely linked with the proliferation and migration of tumor cells. A deeper understanding of the role of ABRACL in tumorigenesis and development may provide new ideas and insights for ABRACL to prevent or reverse tumor progression.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of microdissected peroneal artery perforator flap in repair of soft tissue defect of dorsal side of the fingers.Methods:From August 2015 to July 2020, 19 patients with soft tissue defects on dorsal fingers were treated with microdissected peroneal artery perforator flap. The area of wound defect was 3.8 cm×1.5 cm-5.8 cm×3.0 cm, with exposure of phalanges and tendons. The size of flaps was 4.0 cm×1.8 cm-6.0 cm×3.3 cm. According to the size of soft tissue defects on the dorsal side of the fingers, the flaps were designed with the perforating branch of peroneal artery in the centre. The length and width of a flap were 0.2-0.3 cm bigger and wider than the area of defect. The perforator vessels with a length of 2.0-3.0 cm were arvested in the superficial layer of deep fascia. Most of the adipose tissues of the flap were removed under microscope, and the small arteries between adipose tissues were protected. The flaps were used to cover the defects of fingers. The perforator artery of the flap was anastomosed with the proper palmar digital artery of the recipient site, the accompanying vein of the perforator artery was anastomosed with the dorsal digital vein of the recipient site, and the cutaneous nerve in the flap was anastomosed with the dorsal digital nerve. The donor sites were directly pulled together and sutured intermittently. Outpatient and WeChat follow-up were conducted after operation, including wound healing, flap survival, flap sensation, donor site recovery, and flexion and extension functions of the fingers. Functional recovery was evaluated according to the Evaluation Standard of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association.Results:All wounds healed in Ⅰ stage, and all 19 flaps survived. The follow-up ranged from 9 to 25 months, with an average of 11.5 months. The appearance of the flaps was satisfactory and the texture was good. Sensation recoveried to S 4 in 4 paitients, S 3 in 9 patients and S 2 in 6 patients, and with only a linear scar was left in the donor sites. The hand function recovery was evaluated according to the Trial Criteria of Upper Limb Function Evaluation of the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association, with 18 cases were excellent and 1 was good. Conclusion:The microdissected peroneal artery perforator flap is an ideal surgical method to repair the soft tissue defect of dorsal side of the fingers, which has good shape and simple operation, avoids the secondary thinning and plastic surgery and offers good therapeutic effects.

Triphala consists of Terminalia chebula Retz, Terminalia bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb. and Phyllanthus emblica L, which are made into Dasanguo Powder. Triphala is rich in a variety of chemical components, including tannins, phenolic acids, triterpenoids and flavonoids. The content of tannin is abundant in Triphala, which are often used as the main indicators of analysis. Modern research found that Triphala has a variety of pharmacological activities such as prevention of gastrointestinal diseases, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, anti-tumor and so on. This paper briefly summarized the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Triphala, combining the relevant national and international literature in recent years to provide reference for the development and further study of Triphala.

The chromatographic column of Agilent ZORBAX SB-Aq (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with methanol-0.1％ formic acid/water as the mobile phase, the flow rate 1 mL/min, and the detection wavelength 270 nm was applied to determine the Gallic acid, colijing and ellagic acid content in medicinal materials and the tannin parts of Tibetan Medicine Triphala. With the gallic acid as control group, total tannin content of Triphala and its tannin parts was determined through spectrophotometry. It revealed in the HPLC test that the linear range of gallic acid, coracine and ellagic acid was 0.91-4.55 μg, 0.274-1.368 μg and 0.329-2.634 μg respectively. It also showed that the average recovery rates of the three components in the medicinal materials were 101.06％, 101.72％and 100.27％ respectively. And the average recovery rates of the three components in the tannins were 100.4％, 100.85％and 101.70％ respectively. The result of spectrophotometry showed that gallic acid was linear in1.008-10.08 μg·mL-1, and that the recovery rate of medicinal materials and tannin parts were 100.25％ and 100.52％ respectively. The method is rapid, accurate and repeatable, and it can provide basis for the quality control of Tribescens and its tannins.
