In order to introduce a novel reversed digital artery island flap, it was used in 13 cases involving 17 digital skin defects since 1993, in which digital skin defects were covered by a reversed digital artery island flap, a comparative study was made between the flaps with or without a palmar digital vein. The results showed that the 17 island flaps were all survived, and during the early stage after operation, the incidence of venous crisis in the flaps without palmar digital vein was 87.5% (7/8) while that in the flaps with the vein was only 11.1% (1/9), so, it was concluded that the reversed digital artery island flap containing a palmar digital vein could obviously reduce the incidence of venous crisis and improve the survival of the flap.

Methods A total of 126 patients with early ectopic pregnancy diagnosed from February 2006 to Febrary 2010 were randomly divided into two groups. In 126 patients, 62 treated with MTX combined with mifepristone were in the treatment group,and 64 treated independently with MTX were in the control group. MTX was administrated at a low dose in several times. Results In 126 patients,the success ratio of the treatment was 88% in treatment group groups and 65% in the control group; the difference between the two groups was significant (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Low-dose MTX in separate times combined with mifepriston is effective on the early ectopic pregnancy, and the therapeutic effect of the combined administration of MTX and mifepriston is better than that of the single administration with MTX.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of exercise intervention in adolescents with mild to moderate idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy of exercise intervention in adolescents with mild to moderate AIS from inception to November 2021. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using Stata 16.0 software. ResultsA total of 11 RCTs involving 638 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that exercise intervention significantly improved the Cobb angle of the spine in patients with AIS (MD=−1.65, 95%CI −2.63 to −0.68, P<0.01), reduced the angle of trunk rotation (ATR) (MD=−0.68, 95%CI −0.96 to −0.40, P<0.01), and increased their forced vital capacity (FVC) (MD=0.63, 95%CI 0.10 to 1.15, P=0.02). However, there was no statistically significant improvement in the forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) or the ratio of FEV1/FVC between the two groups. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that the exercise intervention could improve the Cobb angle of the spine, reduce ATR and enhance FVC. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
Due to its special sequence structure, spider silk protein has unique physical and chemical properties, mechanical properties and excellent biological properties. With the expansion of the application value of spider silk in many fields as a functional material, progress has been made in the studies on the expression of recombinant spider silk proteins through many host systems by gene recombinant techniques. Recombinant spider silk proteins can be processed into high performance fibers, and a wide range of non-fibrous morphologies. Moreover, for their excellent biocompatibility and low immune response they are ideal for biomedical applications. Here we review the process and mechanism of preparation in vitro, chemistry and genetic engineering modification on recombinant spider silk protein.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism and to explore the measures of prevention and treatment of hypothermal vasoconstriction. METHODS: By the techniques of endothelial cell culture and scanning electron microscopy, and vasomotor functional test of isolated vascular vessels, the relation of hypothermal vasoconstriction and the release of endothelium-derived contractile and vasodilative factors were observed. RESULTS: Hypothermia obviously induced vasoconstriction of isolated vascular vessels, whether endothelium was intact or removed, the lower the temperature, the higher the vascular tension. Removal of endothelium could decrease the effect of vasoconstriction by hypothermia. The conditioned medium of bovine aortic endothelial cell could induce significantly vasoconstriction of isolated rat common neck arterial ring in hypothermia. It indicated that the bovine aortic endothelial cells secreted contractile factors into the medium. Reheating to 37 degrees C or vasodilator or reheating plus vasodilator did not obviously influence the hypothermia-induced vasoconstriction within 2 hours. When reheating to 50 degrees C, vascular tension was decreased, but only changed in range of 28% to 42%. CONCLUSION: Hypothermia vasoconstriction is relative to vasoconstrictor factors secreted by endothelium. Reheating to 37 degrees C or vasodilator does not antagonize the constriction of vascular vessels. Reheating to 50 degrees C only partially eliminates the constrict effect of blood vessels, so the prevention of hypothermia vasoconstriction should be emphasized.
The scalp-recorded auditory steady-state response (ASSR) is a periodically evoked potential in response to the stimulation with the acoustical property in the same period. The ASSR can be readily induced in comparison with transient responses for specific conditions. The clinical utility of ASSR may be unjustified for the ambiguity of the genesis. With the advance of relevant research, it is considered that the main generation hypotheses of the ASSR are conceived to be pertinent with the linear superposition or neural entrainment mechanism. Based on current findings and our contributions in this field, we introduce recent progresses of the two mechanisms with comments, and suggest the benefit of the rapid stimulation technology in this regard.
Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. The comprehensive treatment of esophageal cancer based on operation is important. In recent ten years, with the development of surgical techniques and medical instruments, tubular stomach has been widely used. Although the advantages of tubular stomach are becoming more and more obvious, there are still many details and problems for the function and application of tubular stomach worthy of further discussion and study. In this paper, the technical progress, advantages, functions and applications of tubular stomach are reviewed and discussed, and the future prospect is predicted.
