Objective To report the clinical result of the improvedisland skin flap with distallybased sural nerve nutrient vessels in repairing skin defect in the heel, ankle or foot. Methods From August2004 to April 2005, 15 patients with skin defect in the heel, ankle or foot at distal part were treated by the improved island skin flap with distally-based of sural nerve nutrient vessels. Of 15 flaps, 12 were simplex flaps and 3 were complex flaps. These flap area ranged from 7 cm×6 cm to 11×8 cm. The donor sites were sutured directly and covered with free flap. Results All flaps survived without flap swelling and disturbance of blood circulation. The wounds of donor and recipient sites healed by first intention. The followup period ranged from 3 to 6 months. The texture of flap was soft and the color of flap was similar to that of normal skin. The foot function was excellent. Conclusion The improved island skin flap with distally-based sural nerve nutrient vessels is an ideal skin flap for repairing skin defect in the heel, ankle or foot distal part in clinical. The operation is simple and need not to anastomose blood vessel.

Schwanns cell (SC) was isolated from sciatic nerve of adult rat with Wallerine degeneration. After culture, SC-serum free culture media (SCSFCM) was obtained. By ultrafiltration with PM-10 Amicon Membrane, electrophoresis with DiscPAGE,and electrical wash-out with Biotrap apparatus, D-band protein was isolated from the SC-SFCM. The D-band protein in the concentration of 25ng/ml could affect the survival of the spinal anterior horn neuron in vitro, prominently and itsactivity was not changed after being frozen. The molecular weight of the protein ranged from 43 to 67 Kd. The D-band protein might be a neurotrophic substancedifferent from the known SCderived neurotrophic factors (NTF). Its concentration with biological activity was high enough to be detected. The advantages of MTT in assessment of NTF activity were also discussed.
Objective To study the effect of indirect calorimetry-guided nutritional support on energy metabolism, cellular immunity and oxidative stress in patients with colorectal cancer after laparoscopic surgery. Methods A total of 96 patients with colorectal cancer after laparoscopic surgery in our hospital from December 2019 to December 2021 were selected and randomly divided into the control group (used the formula prediction method to guide enteral nutrition support, n=48) and the observation group (used indirect calorimetry to guide enteral nutrition support, n=48). The target resting energy expenditure (REE) value and nutritional support energy intake were compared between the two groups. The cellular immune indexes (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+) and oxidative stress indexes [serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), the changes of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)], and the changes of REE at different time points (1 day before operation and 1, 2 and 3 days after operation) of the two groups were compared. The incidence of complications in the two groups were observed. Results The target REE value of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05), and there was no significant difference in the enteral energy intake and parenteral energy intake compared with the control group (P＞0.05). After treatment, CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the two groups were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and CD8+ was higher than before treatment (P<0.05). The levels of CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the observation group after treatment were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05) , while the level of CD8+ in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of SOD and GSH-Px in the two groups were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and the levels of MDA were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05). The levels of GSH-Px and SOD in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), while the level of MDA in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the REE value between the two groups at 1 day before operation (P>0.05); compared with the 1 day before operation, the REE values of the two groups at 1, 2, and 3 days after operation were significantly increased, and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups at each time point (P<0.05), but the REE value at 3 days after operation was significantly lower than that at 1 and 2 days after operation (P<0.05). The REE values in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at 1, 2 and 3 days after operation (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the observation group was 6.25%, which was lower than 20.83% in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Enteral nutrition support guided by indirect calorimetry in colorectal cancer patients after laparoscopic surgery can help reduce postoperative energy consumption, improve cellular immune function and oxidative stress response, and reduce the risk of postoperative complications, which is worthy of promotion.
Schwanns cells were obtained from the distal end of the sciatic nerve following Wallerian degeneration of SD rats. These cells were cultured with the anteriorhorn neuron of spinal cord of 14dayold SD rat fetus. The two kinds of cells were separated by a slice. Through the microscope, the dendrites and the morphology changes at the 24th, 48th, 72th, and 96 th hour after culture were observed. It was demonstrated that the Schwanns cells played the role of maintaining the survival of neuron and promoting the growth of dendrites. It was said that the Schwanns cells could secrete neurotrophic factor which made the body enlarged and caused the dendrites enlonged to several times of the body.
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of the distally-based sural musculocutaneous flap for the treatment of chronic calcaneal osteomyelitis. Methods From January 2002 to October 2005, 7 patients (4 males, 3 females; age range, 15-68 years ) were treated with the distallybased sural musculocutaneous flap, who had chronic calcanealosteomyelitis after calcaneal fracture. After the radical debridement for all the nonviable and poorly vascularized tissues, all the chronic calcaneal osteomyelitis patients, who had suffered from open calcaneal fracture or closed calcaneal fracture, were treated with the open reduction, the internal fixation, and thebone graft. The ulcer lasted for 3-12 months before diagnosis of osteomyelitis. The musculocutaneous flaps ranged in size from 8 cm×4 cm to 12 cm×7 cmand the muscle flaps ranged from 4 cm×3 cm to 6 cm×5 cm. The donor defects were closed primarily in 5 patients and were resurfaced with the splitthicknessskin graft in 2 patients. Results All the musculocutaneous flaps survived completely and all the wounds healed smoothly. All the patients followed up for 2-6 months had no recurrence of osteomyelitis or return to their preoperative ambulatory status.Conclusion It is feasible to use the distallybased sural musculocutaneous flap for treatment of chronic calcaneal osteomyelitis.
OBJECTIVE To study the protective effects of Schwann cell derived neurotrophic factor (SDNF) on motoneurons of spinal anterior horn from spinal root avulsion induced cell death. METHODS Twenty SD rats were made the animal model of C6.7 spinal root avulsion induced motoneuron degeneration, and SDNF was applied at the lesion site of spinal cord once a week. After three weeks, the C6.7 spinal region was dissected out for motoneuron count, morphological analysis and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzyme histochemistry. RESULTS 68.6% motoneurons of spinal anterior horn death were occurred after 3 weeks following surgery, the size of survivors was significantly atrophy and NOS positive neurons increased. However, in animals which received SDNF treatment, the death of motoneurons was significantly decreased, the atrophy of surviving motoneurons was prevented, and expression of NOS was inhibited. CONCLUSION SDNF can prevent the death of motoneurons following spinal root avulsion. Nitric oxide may play a role in these injury induced motoneuron death.
Objective To provide the anatomic basis for thedesign of the intermediate dorsal neurocutaneous flap on the foot and to reportthe clinical results. Methods On 32 adult cadaver lower limb specimens perfused with red latex, the origins, diameters, courses, branches, and distributions of the intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve of the foot and its nutrient vessels were observed. On this anatomic basis, from June 2004 to October2005, 5 flaps were developed and applied to the repair of the soft tissue defect in the feet of 4 patients. Results The intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve of the foot was found to arise from the superficial peroneal nerve. Crossing the intermalleolar line, it was located 1.3±0.6 cm lateral to the midpoint of the line with a diameter of 2.05±0.56 mm. The nerve stem divided into branches 2.8±1.3 cm distal to the line. They distributed the dorsal skin of the second, third and fourth metatarsal and toe. On average, 5.1 perforators per specimen were identified. At least 3 nutrient vessels were always found in each. They originated from the cutaneous branches of the anterior tibial artery and the dorsalis pedis artery in the proximal end and the dorsalis metatarsal artery in the distal end. They perforated the deep fascia 4.3±0.4 cm proximal to the intermalleolar, 1.6±0.3 cm proximal to the tip of the third toe webspace and 1.5±0.3 cm proximal to the tip of the forth toe webspace, respectively. The external diameters of them were 0.82±0.13, 0.42±0.07 and 0.49±0.09 mm, respectively. The patients were followed up for 4-10 months. All theflaps survived completely. Their appearance and function were satisfactory. Conclusion The distallybased intermediate dorsal neurocutaneousflap on the foot has an abundant blood supply. This kind of flap is especially useful in repair of the soft tissue defect in the foot.
