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.
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.
Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of non-gastrointestinal decompression after esophagectomy and the necessity of gastric tube or the time to remove gastric tube. Methods Thirty patients with esophageal cancer who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, were included in the trial from June to October 2017. The patients were randomly and equally assigned to a trial group (non-gastrointestinal decompression) or a control group (gastrointestinal decompression). There was no significant difference in age (P=1.000), sex (P=1.000), tumor location (P=0.732), pathological type (P=1.000), pathological stage (P=0.507), and operation time (P=0.674) between the two groups. The clinical effect between the two groups were compared. Results There was no statistical difference in incidences of anastomotic leakage (P=1.000), anastomotic bleeding (P=1.000), gastroesophageal reflux (P=1.000) between the two groups. And there was no statistical difference in time of the first flatus (P=0.629) and the first bowel movement (P=0.599) after operation between the two groups. Conclusion Without gastrointestinal decompression after Ivor Lewis esophagectomy does not increase the incidences of anastomotic leakage, anastomotic bleeding and gastroesophageal reflux, and has no significant effect on the recovery of gastrointestinal function. Without gastrointestinal decompression after Ivor Lewis esophagectomy is safe and feasible. Removing gastric tube on the second day after operation is reasonable and feasible.
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.
Objective To compare the early and mid-term results between Fontan operation and anatomic correction for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA). Methods The clinical data of 53 patients with ccTGA who underwent anatomic correction and Fontan operation from January 2009 to September 2021 in our hospital were reviewed, including 41 males and 12 females with a mean age of 55.02 (3-168) months. They were divided into an anatomic correction group (16 patients) and a Fontan operation group (37 patients) according to the operation. The hospitalization mortality, survival rate, postoperative complications, and free rate from re-intervention between the two groups were compared. Another 180 healthy children were recruited as a control group, and 14 children were matched with the propensity score matching method as a Fontan control group. The results of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) between the Fontan operation group and the Fontan control group were compared. Results There were 2 (12.5%) early deaths and 3 (18.8%) early re-intervention in the anatomic correction group, while 1 death and 2 re-intervention in the Fontan operation group. In addition, there were 9 patients (56.3%) in the anatomic correction group and 6 (16.2%) patients in the Fontan operation group suffering from arrhythmia after operation, respectively. Compared with the anatomic correction group, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamping time, intubation time and ICU stay were significantly shortened in the Fontan operation group (P<0.05). CPET results showed that, percent predicted max VO2 in the Fontan operation group was lower than that in the Fontan control group (0.84±0.11 vs. 0.99±0.12, P＜0.05). The patients were followed up for 0.5-126.0 months. Two patients were lost in the Fontan operation group. There was no death and 1 re-intervention in the anatomic correction group, while no death or re-intervention in the Fontan operation group. The 1-year, 5-year and 10-year transplant-free survival rate of the anatomic correction group and the Fontan operation group was 87.5%, 87.5%, 87.5% and 97.3%, 97.3%, 97.3%, respectively (P＞0.05). The 48 patients were classified as grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ in cardiac function in the last follow-up. Conclusion There is no statistical difference in the transplant-free survival rate between the anatomic correction and the Fontan operation group. The postoperative complications in the Fontan operation group are decreased than those in the anatomic correction group. The Fontan operation is also a good choice, even though the patients with ccTGA meet the condition of the procedure of anatomic correction.
