To evaluate the long-term result of free forearm skin flap in the repair of soft tissue defects of the oral and maxillofacial regions, 26 cases which had received radical resection of maxillofacial tumors were follow-up for 4.5 years. Twenty cases, having complete data were analyzed. In this series, There were 8 males and 12 females, with ages ranged from 40 to 69 years old. The size of the flaps ranged from 4 cm x 5 cm-6 cm x 13 cm. The radial artery and the cephalic vein were used as the donor vessels, and the maxillary artery, superior thyroid artery, external jugular vein and the anterior jugular vein were prepared as the recipient vessels. According to the shape, colour, temperature, sensation, mucosoid degree of the flap, the blood supply and function of hand and the configuration of the forearm, the overall results of the recepient regions in 20 cases were all satisfactory and the overall results of 16 cases donor regions were satifactory in 16 cases. The results were poor in 4 cases. The conclusion were: 1. Free forearm skin flap was worth trying in the repair of soft tissue defects of oral region; 2. The radial artery need not to be reconstructed because of the abandant vascular net-work in the upper limb and 3. The residual scar on the forearm was the main shortcoming, but most of the patients could tolerate it because of the obvious advantages received from the operation.
This study aims to overcome the shortcomings such as low efficiency, high cost and difficult to carry out multi-parameter research, which limited the optimization of infusion bag configuration and manufacture technique by experiment method. We put forward a fluid cavity based finite element method, and it could be used to simulate the stress distribution and deformation process of infusion bag under external load. In this paper, numerical models of infusion bag with different sizes was built, and the fluid-solid coupling deformation process was calculated using the fluid cavity method in software ABAQUS subject to the same boundary conditions with the burst test. The peeling strength which was obtained from the peeling adhesion test was used as failure criterion. The calculated resultant force which makes the computed peeling stress reach the peeling strength was compared with experiment data, and the stress distribution was analyzed compared with the rupture process of burst test. The results showed that considering the errors caused by the difference of weak welding and eccentric load, the flow cavity based finite element method can accurately model the stress distribution and deformation process of infusion bag. It could be useful for the optimization of multi chamber infusion bag configuration and manufacture technique, leading to cost reduction and study efficiency improvement.
ObjectiveTo observe and analyze the effect of peripore cavity size on visual function of macular area before and after surgery for idiopathic macular hole (IMH). MethodsA retrospective clinical study. From July 2020 to February 2021, a total of 25 patients with 25 eyes with monocular IMH (operation group) diagnosed by ophthalmology examination in Department of ophthalmology, Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University were included in the study. The control group was contralateral healthy eyes. All subjects were examined by best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), microfield of vision, frequency domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA). The diameter of macular hole was measured by SD-OCT. The cystic morphology of deep capillary plexus (DCP) was detected by en face OCT, and the cystic area was measured by Image J software. MP-3 microperimeter was used to measure central macular retinal light sensitivity (MS) and mean macular retinal light sensitivity (MMS). Central macular retinal light sensitivity (CMS), MMS and cystic cavity MS were measured in the operation group. MMS was measured in the control group. The microperimetry images were superimposed on the DCP layer of OCTA to identify and calculate the average MS within the lumen and compare it with the control group. Standard three incisions were performed in all affected eyes by vitrectomy of the flat part of the ciliary body + stripping of the inner boundary membrane + intraocular sterile air filling. Three months after the operation, the same equipment and methods were used to perform relevant examinations. Paired sample t test was used to compare MS between operation group and control group. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between capsular area, macular hole diameter before and after operation and MS before and after operation. The correlation between BCVA and capsular area before and after surgery was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. ResultsIn the surgical group, the retinal MS was (4.24±3.07) dB. The MMS of control group was (19.08±6.11) dB. The MS in the surgical group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=10.832, P＜0.01). Before operation, the area of cyst was (1.04±0.55) mm2, and the diameter of macular hole was (564.80±166.59) μm. CMS and MMS were (2.27±2.29) dB and (9.08±3.65) dB, respectively. The diameter of macular hole (r=0.50, P=0.010) and BCVA before operation (r=0.57, P＜0.001) were positively correlated with peripore cavity area. Before operation, CMS and MMS were negatively correlated with peripore cavity area (r=－0.53, －0.47; P=0.010, 0.020). At 3 months after surgery, the capsular area was negatively correlated with CMS and MMS (r=－0.65,－0.76; P=0.020, 0.030). There was no correlation with BCVA (r=0.23, P=0.470). ConclusionsRetinal MS is decreased in the peri-capsular area of IMH pore. There is a positive correlation between capsule area, BCVA and macular hole diameter before operation. The capsular area is negatively correlated with CMS and MMS before operation.
This study explored the variation of bursting force of multi-chamber infusion bag with different geometry size, providing guidance for its optimal design. Models of single-chamber infusion bag with different size were established. The finite element based on fluid cavity method was adopted to calculate the fluid-solid coupling deformation process of infusion bag to obtain corresponding critical bursting force. As a result, we proposed an empirical formula predicting the critical bursting force of one chamber infusion bag with specified geometry size. Besides, a theoretical analysis, which determines the force condition of three chamber infusion bag when falling from high altitude, was conducted. The proportion of force loaded on different chamber was gained. The results indicated that critical bursting force is positively related to the length and width of the chamber, and negatively related to the height of the chamber. While the infusion bag falling, the impact force loaded on each chamber is proportional to the total liquid within it. To raise the critical bursting force of in fusion bag, a greater length and width corresponding to reduced height are recommended considering the volume of liquid needed to be filled in.
Objective To compare the effects of double-channel core decompression (CD) combined with medullary cavity irrigation with those of simple CD on progression of collapse and clinical outcomes in non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 19 patients (30 hips) with non-traumatic ONFH who underwent double-channel CD combined with medullary cavity irrigation and admitted between January 2024 and October 2024 (CD+irrigation group). According to a 1: 2 ratio, 54 patients (60 hips) who underwent simple CD and were matched in terms of age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) were included as the control (CD group). There was no significant difference in baseline data such as age, gender, BMI, affected side, ONFH type, preoperative Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage, bone marrow edema stage, visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain, and Harris score between the two groups (P>0.05). The postoperative discharge time and occurrence of complications were recorded for both groups. The VAS scores before operation and at discharge after operation were compared, and the differences between pre- and post-operation (change values) were calculated for intergroup comparison. The Harris scores before operation and at discharge and 3 months after operation were also compared. During follow-up, X-ray film, CT, and MRI were performed for reexamination. The ARCO stage and bone marrow edema stage were evaluated at 3 months after operation and compared with those before operation to determine whether there was radiological progression or relief. Results All incisions in both groups healed by first intention after operation, with no infection, femoral neck fracture, or other operation-related complications. All patients were followed up, and the follow-up time of the CD+irrigation group was (146.8±27.7) days, and that of the CD group was (164.3±48.2) days; there was no significant difference between the two groups (t=1.840, P=0.069). There was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). At discharge after operation, the VAS score of the CD+irrigation group was significantly lower than that of the CD group (P<0.05), and the change value was significantly higher than that of the CD group (P<0.05). The Harris scores at discharge and 3 months after operation in the CD+irrigation group were significantly higher than those in the CD group (P<0.05). The Harris score gradually increased with time, and the differences between different time points were significant (P<0.05). Radiological reexamination showed that there was no significant difference in the ARCO stage and the incidence of radiological progression between the two groups at 3 months after operation (P>0.05); however, the bone marrow edema stage and the degree of bone marrow edema relief in the CD+irrigation group were better than those in the CD group, with significant differences (P<0.05).Conclusion Double-channel CD combined with medullary cavity irrigation can significantly alleviate hip joint pain and improve joint function in patients with non-traumatic ONFH, reduce the degree of bone marrow edema in the femoral head, and delay the progression of ONFH.

Objective To study the effect of the intracavity thrombolysis, aspiration of debris, percutaneous transcathete angioplasty (PTA) and percutaneous transtuminl angioplasty and stenting (PTAS) on treating peripheral arterial obliterans disease (PAOD). Methods From May 1994 to May 2008, interventional treatment was performed in 285 patients with PAOD. Intracavity thrombolysis and aspiration of debris were performed in 63 patients suffering from acute arterial occlusion. Intracavity thrombolysis and PTA were performed in 61 patients suffering from arteriostenosis combined with acute occlusion. Intracavity thrombolysis, PTA and PTAS were performed in 161 patients suffering from chronic arteriostenosis occlusion. Results Total success rate was 98.25% (280/285). The success rate in intracavity thrombolysis and aspiration of debris was 96.83% (61/63), with 88.89% (56/63) of the blood vessels restored, 7.94% (5/63) of the blood vessels partially restored, and another 3.17% (2/63) failed. The success rate in intracavity thrombolysis and PTA was 85.25% (52/61). The success rate in PTA and PTAS was 98.14% (158/161). The total complication rate was 7.02% (20/285), of them the local thrombolysis and thromboclasis accounting for 7.94% (5/63), the local thrombolysis and PTA accounting for 14.75% (9/61), the PTA and stent implantation accounting for 3.73% (6/161).

Objective To investigate the characteristics of patients with crush injury in Wenchuan earthquake and the corresponding operational methods. Methods From May 12th 2008 to June 18th 2008, 202 patients with crush injury of soft tissue were treated, including 110 males and 92 females. Twenty-five patients aged 19 months to 16 years, 129 patients aged 17-60 years and 48 patients aged above 61 years. The crushed time was 30 minutes to 154 hours. Sixty cases of openinjuries were treated by debridement and dressing or suture; 16 cases of damaged extremities (18 l imbs) and 6 cases of acute renal failure due to crush syndrome (8 l imbs) received amputation; 32 cases of interfascial space syndrome crisis (42 l imbs) were treated by fascia cavity decompression; 15 cases received the resection of necrotic muscle for 31 times; and 9 cases received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Results All the wounds healed except 2 cases which died from intestinal bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage during the treatment of CRRT. Two cases were discharged 8 months after treatment, while the other 198 cases recovered and were discharged 15-120 days after treatment. The average hospital ization time was 53 days. Twenty-two cases (26 l imbs) were fixed with artificial l imbs 3-6 months after amputation and achieved good functional outcome. Conclusion The treatment principle of crush injury is “be active to decompress and be prudent to amputate”, the hardening muscle and the increasing level of creatine kinase and blood potassium are the golden indicators of fascia cavity decompression. Decompression at an earl ier period is preferred when there is a dilemma to choose, and open amputation should be performed when the necrotic muscle is hard to clear or the necrosis boundary is not distinct.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the effects of Q-syte separating film needleless closed transfusion connector in flushing chamber of three-cavity urethral catheter.MethodsTo retrospectively analyze the patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor for non muscle-invasive bladder cancer from January 2015 to July 2016 in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University. After terminating the continuous bladder irrigation, the observed group used Q-syte separating film needleless closed transfusion connector to seal the flushing chamber of three-cavity urethral catheter, and control group used conditional approach to connect drainage bag. The degree of comfort and satisfaction of patients, urinary tract infection, time of stopping bladder irrigation and bladder perfusion time between two groups were assessed.ResultsA total of 88 patients were included involving 63 (72%) males and 25 (28%) females with a mean age of 60.2±4.7 years. There were no significant differences between two groups in age, gender, BMI, and complications (P>0.05). Compared to control group, case group had higher level of comfort degree (mild discomfort: 86.4% vs. 25.0%, P<0.001; moderate discomfort: 13.6% vs. 52.3%, P<0.001; severe discomfort: 0.0% vs. 22.7%, P=0.001), satisfaction degree (97.9±2.1 vs. 84.5±3.9, P<0.001), and lower rates of urinary tract infection (11.4% vs. 29.5%, P=0.034). In addition, the case group spent shorter time in terminating bladder irrigation (50.48±1.78 vs. 207.74±5.41, P<0.001) and bladder perfusion (141.47±3.25 vs. 205.35±5.17, P<0.001). All differences were statistical significance.ConclusionsApplication of Q-syte separating film needleless closed transfusion connector for sealing flushing chamber of three-cavity urethral catheter after continuous bladder irrigation could promote the degree of comfort and satisfaction of patients, and decrease the rate of urinary tract infection, as well as the working efficiency of health care professionals.
