Under general anesthesia, donor skin was partially resected from lower limbs according to defect area of penile skin. Then shear the shape of graft was sheared, sutured to hostage skin defect and enswathed with tension. The postoperative appearance and function of the penis were satisfactory. It is suggest the homologous free skin flap from lower limbs is suitable for penile skin repair and beneficial to patient resulting in satisfactory erection and shape.展开更多

Methods Twenty-nine patients with free skin flaps applied to the plerosis of the postoperative defect were followed up. Twenty-eight out of 29 patients received forearm free flaps while 1 had anterolater-al femoris skin flaps in a size ranging from 14cm×6cm to 8cm×4cm. These flaps were exposed to 60Co radiation ranging 40-69 Gy. Results Observation during irradiation, no visible changes of skin flaps and oral mucous membrane were detected, when irradiation dose was within 40 Gy; some changes may be detected over 40 Gy. Observation 1 - 4 months after irradiation: pigmentations were found in areas of erosion epidermis; skin flaps got dark but without evidence of necrosis. Observation 2 years after irradiation, rib necrosis happened in 29 skin flaps. Hairs were found on 15 of 29 flaps. Sensation occurred within the margin of 1 cm. Conclusion Free skin flap can endure irradiation at the dose of 60 Gy.展开更多

Methods Free skin flap with skin vein was transplanted on the site of tissue defect, connecting by anastomosis the vein with artery or vein of the finger. Results Seven cases were treated with this method,among which 5 cases have sikin defect on the palm aspect of fingers, the rest have skin defect on the dorsal aspect skin of finger. All fingers survived with good shape and function. Conclusion This is a simple and effective method of finger reconstruction for the patients with defect of vessels and skin. 6 refs.展开更多

Forty-eight adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups： control group（n=16）, IR group（n=16）, and edaravone-treated IR group（n=16）. An island flap at left lower abdomen（6.0 cm×3.0 cm in size）, fed by the superficial epigastric artery and vein, was created in each rat of all the three groups. The arterial blood flow of flaps in IR group and edaravone-treated IR group was blocked for 10 h, and then the blood perfusion was restored. From 15 min before reperfusion, rats in the edaravone-treated IR group were intraperitoneally injected with edaravone（10 mg/kg）, once every 12 h, for 3 days. Rats in the IR group and control group were intraperitoneally injected with saline, with the same method and frequency as the rats in the edaravone-treated IR group. In IR group and edaravone-treated IR group, samples of flaps were harvested after reperfusion of the flaps for 24 h. In the control group, samples of flaps were harvested 34 h after creation of the flaps. The content of malondialdehyde（MDA） and activity of superoxide dismutase（SOD） were determined, and changes in organizational structure and infiltration of inflammatory cells were observed by hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining, apoptotic cells of vascular wall were marked by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated d UTP nick-end labeling（TUNEL） assay, and the apoptotic rate of cells in vascular wall was calculated. The ultrastructural changes of vascular endothelial cells were observed by transmission electron microscopy（TEM）. Seven days after the operation, we calculated the flap viability of each group, and marked vessels of flaps by immunohistochemical staining for calculating the average number of subcutaneous vessels. The results showed that the content of MDA, the number of multicore inflammatory cells and apoptotic rate of cells in vascular wall in the edaravone-treated IR group were significantly lower than those in the IR group. The activity of SOD, flap viability and average number of subcutaneous vessels in the edaravone-treated IR group were significantly higher than those in the IR group. All the differences were statistically significant. The ultrastructure injury of vascular endothelial cells in the edaravone-treated IR group was slighter than that in IR group. It was concluded that edaravone can significantly enhance IR flap viability and protect flap vessels, which is related to scavenging oxygen free radicals, reducing the consumption of SOD, reducing the extent of lipid peroxidation and inflammation, and protecting functional structure of vessels in the early stages of reperfusion.展开更多
