ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the effect of two different warming methods on the circulation of free flaps during operation and seek for an optimal warming method which is benificial for the circulation of free flaps, and thus provide clinical evidences for intraoperative care. Methods A total of 96 patients undergoing free flap transplantation were divided into routine warming group and diversification warming group randomly (n=48 each). In routine warming group, temperature in the operating room was set at routine temperature and flaps were douched by routine heated saline. In diversification warming group, the temperature in the operation room, fluids used for washing wounds and flaps were warmed, fluids for intravenous application were pre-warmed by a fluid warmer, in addition, the operation table where patients were lying on was covered with warmer blanket. The influence of two different warming methods on the circulation of free flaps was observed. Results The scores of flap elasticity and capillary refill time in routine warming group were 2.02 ± 0.79 and 2.04 ± 0.81, respectively, vs. 2.50 ± 0.61 and 2.48 ± 0.6 in diversification warming group, showing diversification warming group was statistically better than routine warming group (Z=1.949, 3.872, P<0.05). In addition, the flap survival rate in routine warming group was 81.2%(39/48) vs. 95.8%(46/48) in diversification warming group, showing significantly better results in diversification warming group (χ2=4.02, P < 0.05). Conclusions The diversification warm keeping method can effectively promote the circulation and survival of flaps, improve clinical prognosis, accelerate postoperative rehabilitation, therefore is worthy of being recommanded its clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To find out the microalgae species in the spring water and the pollution route in the production process of drinking spring water. Methods 42 samples were collected from the workshop, the spring source, the product line and the repeated barrels in a water plant. The microalgae were examined by microscope, CCD imaging system and scanning electron microscope. Results 18 microalgae species were detected from the 42 samples including 4 species in Cyanophyta, 9 in Chlorophyta, 4 in Bacillariophyta and 1 in Euglenophyta. The dominant species occurred in samples of the floor around the workshop and the floor beside the wellspring bump were Achnanthes biasolettiana and Cymbella affinis, in the spring source were Chlamydomonas sp. and Ulothrix tenerrima, in the spring water barrel was Scenedesmus obliquus. Chlorella vulgaris was detected in all processes before the super-filter,and after filtered, no microalgae was detected, but in the product water, Chlorella vulgaris was still detected after enriched culture. Conclusion Usually, the microalgae polluted drinking spring water products is mainly Chlorella vulgaris and the pollution route is reusing of barrels.
