ABSTRACT
Objective@#To describe the general and histological features of the full-length superficial fascia of the circumferential upper limb.@*Methods@#Fresh frozen arm specimens were dissected, and then MRI imaging in vivo, enhanced CT angiography and HE histological staining were used to describe the characteristics of the full-length superficial fascia of the circumferential arm and its relationship with important blood vessels.@*Results@#The four typical structures of the superficial fascia of the arm were divided into subcutaneous superficial fat, membrane-like substance, deep fat and deep fascia from superficial to deep. The thickness and stratification, fusion degree and histological characteristics of the superficial fascia of these four layers were obviously different in different levels and regions of the arm. MRI confirmed that the total thickness of superficial fascia gradually decreased from shoulder to wrist. Venography showed that the cephalic vein ran below the second layer of superficial fascia and above the deep fascia. The basilic vein originated from the dorsal vein network of the hand and always lied below the second layer of membranous material until the basilic vein penetrates below the deep fascia of the upper arm.@*Conclusions@#The deep understanding of the circumferential full-length of superficial fascia structure of the upper limb provides an important theoretical basis for improving the surgical safety and fine operation for the Dynamic Arm Circumferential Liposuction.

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze mutations of DYSF gene in two pedigrees affected with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2B (LGMD-2B).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the two probands and unaffected family members. Variant sites were screened by next-generation sequencing using gene panel as well as Sanger sequencing.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Four pathogenic mutations of the DYSF gene were detected, which included a de novo mutation and three mutations with uncertain significance. In pedigree 1, the proband carried compound heterozygous mutations of c.1667T to C (p.Leu556Pro) and c.5567T to A (p.Val1856Glu), which were respectively inherited from her mother and father. Proband of pedigree 2 carried compound heterozygous mutations of c.4853A to G (p.Tyr1618Cys) and c.4876G to A (p.Val1612Ile), among which c.4876G to A (p.Val1626Ile) was also found in his father and grandfather, while c.4853A to G (p.Tyr1618Cys) was detected in his mother and grandmother.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The two compound heterozygous mutations of the DYSF gene probably underlie the LGMD2B in the two pedigrees. Next generation sequencing has conferred great advantage for gene diagnosis of hereditary myopathy.</p>

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Gene therapy has been becoming one of the most attractive medical areas. But the using of gene therapy in plastic surgery is relatively scarce. Our purpose was to investigate the effect of naked plasmid encoding Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor on the viability of the random skin flap by directly injected subcutaneously.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>30 female Sprague-Dawley rats randomly divided into three groups. A random dorsal skin flap of 3 cm x 9 cm was elevated in each of the rats. And 1 ml double-distilled water solution was injected subcutaneously, which was only water in group 1 during the operation, 200 micrograms VEGF cDNA plasmid in group 2 during the operation, 200 micrograms pcDNA3.1/zeo(+)--VEGF in group 3, 24 hours before the operation, respectively. 7 days after the operation, all the animals were sacrificed by overdose anesthetic. The survival tissue was measured with planimetry. Two samples were harvested from each group for pathological check and immunohistochemical test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that there was human VEGF deposited around the capillary in the flaps treated with VEGF gene. The flaps treated with VEGF gene had a larger percentage of survival skin (group 1 = 47% +/- 5.4%, group 2 = 65.4% +/- 6.3%, group 3 = 72.3% +/- 8.5%, P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>VEGF gene directly injected into subcutaneous can express VEGF. It makes the gene therapy simple and practical and will be promising future in the tissue transplantation.</p>
