Objective　To repair the dorsal wound by increasing the propulsion distance of the dorsal flap through the multi-grade effect of the ductility of the skin, the slip between the subcutaneous superficial fascia and the skin, the angular displacement of the dorsal branch from the proper digital artery and the elasticity of the proper digital artery.　Methods　The skin flaps of 34 fingers on 11 sides of fresh adult cadaveric hands were designed on the dorsal side of the middle and proximal segments of the finger respectively. The contents of the flap included the dorsal skin, the subcutaneous superficial fascia, the proper digital artery on one side of the finger and the dorsal branch of the proper digital artery. When the flap was pushed to the distal end of the finger, the ductility of the skin，the sliding of the subcutaneous superficial fascia,the angular displacement of the dorsal branch of the proper digital artery and the elasticity of the proper digital artery all played a certain role in the advancement of the dorsal finger flap respectively, the advancement distance of the flap can be increased by the multi-grade superposition of these four effects.　Results　The maximum propulsion distance of the dorsal flap simulated on the fresh specimens was 2.4 cm and the dorsal flap in the proximal segment of finger was 4.5 cm.　Conclusions　The advancing distance of the dorsal multi-grade advanced flap increases significantly. The maximum advancing distance is 4.5cm and the average distance is 2.5cm. The operation of the multistage advancing dorsal finger flap is safe and simple, it is one of the ideal flap for repairing small and medium-sized wounds of the dorsal finger.

Objective　To explore the multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) manifestation and clinical significance of double inferior vena cava (IVC).　Methods　Eighteen patients with the double IVC found by multi-phase enhanced abdominal MSCT scans were collected. Three kinds of post-processing reconstruction methods including MPR, MIP and VR were used for analysis IVC variation . Their clinical and radiological data were analyzed retrospectively and the double IVC’ imaging features, embryological mechanisms and clinical significance were discussed in combination with literature.　Results　There were 3 types of MSCT manifestation in the 18 patients with the double IVC. 15 patients (accounting for 83.33%) of type I showed as that the left-sided IVC ascended vertically to the position where the left renal vein merged into, then travelled to the right in front of the aorta in a normal way of the left renal vein and merged into the normal right-sided IVC. Two patients (accounting for 11.11%) of type II showed as that the right-sided IVC ascended to the second lumbar level, then crossed the aorta posteriorly to drain into left-sided IVC, and next connected with the hemizygous vein and eventually drained into the right atrium via the azygos vein and superior vena cava. Right renal vein mainly drained into the right suprarenal IVC, but there were collateral branches connecting to the right infrarenal IVC. One patient (accounting for 5.56%) of type III showed as that the right-sided IVC travelled normally all the way, after the left IVC ascended vertically to the position where the left renal vein merged into, then it travelled right and upward behind the aorta and connected to the azygos vein.　Conclusions　Double IVC has many complex variant types, which has important clinical significance for retroperitoneal surgery and treatment of venous thrombosis of the lower body.

Objective　To investigate whether blocking the DLK/MKK4/JNK/c-JUN pathway can promote the survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in mice with indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (ITON) and compare the blocking effects of different sites.　Methods　6-8 weeks old mice were treated with the impact acceleration (IA) model capable of generating traumatic axonal injury (TAI) to simulate indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (ITON), then eligible mice were screened out and divided into four groups: a sham-operation group, an IA group, an IA+sunitinib group and an IA+SP600125 group. Samples collected at different times of the experiment were detected by γ-synuclein or p-c-JUN immunofluorescence staining, TUNEL staining and Western blot, and the results were statistically analyzed. Results Immunofluorescence staining results showed that compared with IA group, the survival RGCs density of IA+sunitinib group and IA+SP600125 group increased significantly, while the density of p-c-JUN (+) RGCs decreased remarkably (P<0.05). TUNEL test results showed that compared with IA group, the apoptosis RGCs density in both IA+sunitinib group and IA+SP600125 group reduced dramatically (P<0.05). Western blot results showed that compared with the IA group, the expression of corresponding downstream proteins in the DLK/MKK4/JNK/c-JUN pathway in IA+ sunitinib group and IA+SP600125 group decreased noticeably (P<0.05).　Conclusions　The activation of the DLK/MKK4/JNK/ C-JUN pathway is related to the survival rate of RGCs in ITON mice. The application of DLK inhibitors or JNK inhibitors can effectively block the expression of the pathway and promote the survival of RGC, with the latter blocking method having a better effect.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of the high mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) inhibitor on T lymphocytes and monocytes in sepsis. Methods Thirty C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, 10 in each group, followed by a sham operation group, a model group, and an inhibitor group. In the model group and inhibitor group, a mouse model of sepsis was replicated by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). In the sham operation group, the wound was sutured only after exposure to the cecum, and no ligation was performed. The mice in the inhibitor group were intraperitoneally injected with glycyrrhizic acid, a specific inhibitor of HMGB1 (10 mg/kg), and injected once every 6 hours for 4 times. The mice in the sham operation group and the model group were intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of normal saline. After the mice were sacrificed, the thymus tissue of the mice was aseptically isolated, and the T lymphocytes and monocytes in the thymus were routinely extracted. MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to detect the proliferation activity and apoptosis of T lymphocyte. Transwell chemotaxis assay and ELISIA method were used to detect the chemotactic activity of monocytes and the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of HMGB1 and phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted onchromosometen (PTEN) in each group. Results Compared with the sham operation group, the proliferation activity and the apoptosis rate of T lymphocytes in the thymus tissue of the model group, the chemotactic activity of monocytes and the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and the expression of HMGB1 and PTEN significantly increased (all P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the apoptosis rate of T lymphocytes, the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6, HMGB1 and PTEN significantly reduced in inhibitor group mice, the proliferation activity of T lymphocytes, the chemotactic activity of monocytes, and the expression of IL-10 protein significantly increased (all P<0.05). Conclusions HMGB1 inhibitor can reduce the apoptosis rate of thymic T cells in septic mice, enhance the proliferation activity of T cells and the chemotactic activity of monocytes, increase the secretion of monocyte anti-inflammatory factor IL-10, and inhibit the pro-inflammatory factor TNF -α, IL-6 secretion.

Objective　To analyze the biomechanical characteristics of posterior axis different planting methods in upper cervical vertebra under severe osteoporosis (SOP). Methods A CT scanning on cervical vertebra was performed on a healthy adult man. Combined with the finite element pre-processing software, the atlantoaxial instability model (C1~C2) of SOP was stimulated by setting material properties. According to the surgical plan, posterior bilateral atlas pedicle screw (B-C1PS)+ Axis of three different ways of planting nail fixation was established: axis bilateral pedicle screw (B-C2PS, model A) fixation, axis bilateral laminar screw (B-C2TL, model B) fixation, B-C1PS combined with B-C2TL fixation(model C). The range of motion of C1-C2 joint, C1 displacement and C2 screw stress distribution of the three internal fixation methods were analyzed under the bending extension, lateral bending and axial rotation conditions of the finite element model. Results The finite element model of C1-C2 instability in the SOP, Model C had the lowest range of motion of C1-C2 joint, C1 displacement in different conditions. Fixed screw under the maximum stress of C2 joint combined fixation was smaller than that of single fixation. The maximum stress of pedicle screw of the axis in the Model C was less than that of Model B under various working conditions, that of pedicle screw in the Model C was less than that of Model A. In Model C, the stress was mainly concentrated at C2PS roots and the joint between atlanto-axial vertebral pedicle screw and screw rod. Conclusions The inner fixation stability of Model C is better than that of Model A and Model B under SOP condition. The stress of axis is dispersed, and the axis screw is less prone to postoperative fatigue loosening and prolapse.

Objective　To compare the clinical outcomes of iliac bone graft, titanium mesh bone graft and granular bone graft in the surgical treatment of single segment lumbar tuberculosis.　Methods　A retrospective analysis was performed on 98 patients who underwent one stage posterior debridement, bone graft and internal fixation for single segment lumbar tuberculosis from July 2015 to September 2020, involving 32 case in autologous iliac bone graft group, 32 case in titanium mesh bone graft group and 34 cases in granular bone graft group. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), ASIA grade, Cobb angle correction and loss, and bone graft fusion time were recorded and analyzed.　Results　The average follow-up time was 28 months (14~53 months). The operation time and bone graft fusion time in the granular group were (192.6±42.1) min, (5.2±1.1) months, which were better than those in the iliac bone group (229.2±61.6) min, (8.0±2.9) months and titanium mesh group (233±51.5) min, (8.6±5.6) months (P<0.05). The amount of intraoperative blood loss in the granular group (385.3±251.8) mL was less than that in the titanium mesh group (660.9±486.4) mL (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the amount of intraoperative blood loss between the granular group and the iliac bone group (534.4±395.4) mL, (P=0.122). After operation, the Cobb angle of lumbar segmental kyphosis significantly improved in the three groups at the last follow-up, but there was no significant difference in loss and correction of Cobb angle among the three groups (P>0.05). There were no statistical difference in the other indicators among the three groups.　Conclusions　Compared with iliac bone graft and titanium mesh bone graft, granular bone graft has the advantages of simple and feasible operation, shorter operation time, less blood loss and faster postoperative bone graft fusion. It is a safe and effective bone graft method for single segmental lumbar tuberculosis via posterior approach.

Objective　To evaluate the clinical efficacy of closed reduction intramedullary nailing in the treatment of ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture with intertrochanteric fracture and to analyze the risk factors for fracture nonunion.　Methods　A retrospective analysis was performed on 31 patients (23 males and 8 females, aged from 21 to 73 years old who underwent closed reduction and intramedullary fixation for ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture with intertrochanteric fracture in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2016. The intramedullary nail type, number of blocking nails, operation time, blood loss, healing time, limb shortening and hip joint HHS function score in femoral shaft patients with intertrochanteric fractures were observed and recorded. The possible factors of fracture nonunion were analyzed by single factor and multiple factors.　Results　All patients were followed up for 12 to 48 months, with an average of 20.1 months. Possible causes of fracture nonunion were analyzed. There were statistical significance in the number of blocking nails and fracture type (P<0.05), while there was no statistical significance in other factors such as injury mechanism, and operation time (P>0.05). Multivariate analysis was conducted for the above two factors. The number of blocking nails (OR=2.845, 95% CI 2.164-3.741) and fracture type (OR=3.388, 95% CI 1.966~5.840) were the independent risk factors. Conclusions The independent risk factors of fracture nonunion are the small number of blocking nails and the comminuted fracture of femoral shaft. Closed reduction intramedullary nailing in the treatment of ipsilateral femoral shaft with intertrochanteric fracture is safe and effective and can improve the quality of life.

Objective　To investigate the long-term effect of radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of early glottic cancer (EGC) in the elderly and its effect on voice acoustics.　Methods　The clinical data of 95 patients with EGC admitted to our hospital from May 2010 to May 2011 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups according to the different treatment methods. Control group (n=46) received the CO2 laser surgery, and study group (n=49) received the radiofrequency ablation. Then various indexes were compared between groups, including operation time, hospitalization time, VAS score, total effective rate, voice acoustics indexes [Jitter, normalized noise energy (NNE), amplitude perturbation (Shimmer)], quality of life (bodily pain, physiological function, general health score), and long-term efficacy (5-year survival rate, local recurrence).　Results　There were no statistical difference in the VAS score between the study group and the control group (P>0.05), and the total effective rate of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Jitter, NNE and Shimmer in the study group were lower than in the control group (P<0.05). The postoperative quality of life scores in the study group were slightly higher than those in the control group, with no statistic difference (P>0.05). There were no statistical difference in 5-year survival rate and local recurrence rate between the two groups(P>0.05).　Conclusions　The application of radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of EGC in the elderly has the advantages of fast voice recovery, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective　To investigate the clinical application of individualized skin flap in the treatment of contracture of first web space by 3D printing the model of the affected hand.　Methods　From March 2018 to October 2019, 10 cases of moderate and severe contracture of first web space were treated with 3D printing of the affected hand model before operation. The appropriate flaps were selected to repair the wound individualized according to the shape and area of the wound after opening the first web space of the model. Intraoperative comparison and verification, postoperative follow-up were performed to observe the treatment effect.　Results　The shape and area of the wound and the flap selection were basically in accordance with that of the preoperative simulation design. All the 10 cases of flaps survived, and the donor and recipient wound were healed at I stage. All flaps were followed up for 6~12 months. The appearance of the flaps was satisfactory, the sensation was partial recovered the abduction and opposition function of the thumb were restored. The angle of first web space increased by 50°-60°(with an average of 53.4°), and the width increased by 18mm-35 mm (with an average of 31.3 mm). The repair evaluation of the first web space were excellent in 7 cases, good in 2 cases, medium in1 case.　Conclusions　The 3D printing of the affected hand model before operation can guide the individualized skin flap, so that the enlarged wound with contracture can be repaired accurately, the operation time can be reduced, and the shape and function of the first web space can be recovered well after operation.

Objective　To investigate the diagnostic value of four-dimensional hysterosalpingography (4D-Hycosy) combined with contrast media in intrauterine pressure measurement for the evaluation of tubal patency.　Methods　A total of 150 infertile patients who underwent 4D-Hycosy examination in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected to observe the sonographic characteristics of patients with countercurrent. The incidence of countercurrent and the injection pressure of contrast media in patients with different tubal patency were compared.　Results　The coincidence rate between 4D-Hycosy in the diagnosis of tubal patency and laparoscopic liquid was 74.67%. 4D-Hycosy was consistent with laparoscopy in the diagnosis of tubal patency (P<0.05). Among the 150 cases, 56 cases (accounting for 37.33%) had countercurrent, including 38 cases (accounting for 67.86%) of myometrial countercurrent and 18 cases (accounting for 32.14%) of parauterine venous plexus countercurrent. There were statistical differences in tubal injection pressure by pairwise comparison of bilateral patency, bilateral obstruction, incomplete patency or obstruction on one side (P<0.05). ROC curve showed that AUC, sensitivity and Yoden index of combined diagnosis were higher than those of single 4D-Hycosy (P<0.05).　Conclusions　4D-Hycosy combined with contrast media in intrauterine pressure measurement can improve the diagnostic value of tubal patency.
