Repair of major chest wall defects caused by recurrent lesion or radiation ulcer after radical mastectomy with delto-pectoral flap / 中华内分泌外科杂志

Objective To evaluate a repair approach to major defects of chest wall caused by recurrent lesion or radiation ulcer after radical mastectomy.Methods The delto-pectoral island flaps were applied to repair major defects of chest wall.The blood supply of the flap was from the 2nd and 3rd anterior perforator of the internal mammary artery.4 patients with defects of chest wall caused by recurrent cancer lesion and 8 patients caused by radiation ulcer received the pedicled flap after resection of lesion or ulcer.Results All the 12 flaps survived,in which flap necrosis at the distal end occurred in 1 case and it was cured after changing dress.After a follow-up of 6 monthls to 4 years,the flap healed and the cosmetic effect was satisfactory.Conclusions This method is an ideal method for repair of stage I major defects of chest wall caused by recurrent lesion and radiation ulcer after radical mastectomy.

Study on the extraction methods of emodin from Radix polygoni multiflori / 中成药

AIM: To establish an extraction method of emodin from Radix polygoni multiflori . METHODS: Emodin in Radix polygoni multiflori was taken as an evaluating marker and determined by HPLC, the effects of different solvents and extraction models on extraction ratio of the emodin were systematically investigated. And also the orthogonal test was further used to optimize extracting conditions. RESULTS: The refluent extraction with 80% alcohol as much as seven times of the medicine amount for 2hs and twice was more effective. CONCLUSION: The kinds of solvent and models of extraction have a great influence upon the extracting efficiency of emodin.
