ABSTRACT

To introduce the repairation procedure of composite distal soft tissue defect of thumb and finger with mini toenail flap. Methods From June, 2015 to June, 2018, 7 cases with composite tissue defect at 7 distal fingers, including 5 thumbs, 1 index finger and 1 middle finger, were reconstructed with mini toenail flap transfer.The flap sizes which were raised during the operation ranged from 4.5 cm×3.0 cm-3.0 cm×1.5 cm.The donor sites were covered by toe phalanx shortening, V-Y advancement flap and local pedicle flap. Microsurgical routine treatment was made after the operation, and followed-up regularly. Results Seven flaps of 7 cases completely sur-vived without any necrosis. All the wounds at the donor sites healed well. All patients were followed-up for 6-36 months. The motive, sensor and cosmetic result were satisfied. In sensory function, the two-point discrimination dis-tance could restore to be 4-6 mm. Conclusion The mini toenail flap transfer is a reliable and suggested method.It can anatomically restored the distal digit sensor function with cosmetic contour, and regain the motive, sensory func-tion and satisfied cosmetic appearance.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: New-type tissue engineering materials and post-proliferation Schwann cells are implanted into biosynthesis tube for repairing peripheral nerve defect, which are two great developments in the field of artificial biomaterial tube.OBJECTIVE: Taking chitosan-collagen as scaffold, activated Schwann cells as seed cells, we are in attempt to observe the affinity between them as well as growth rule of activated Schwann cells on Chitosan-collagen, so as to provide basis for pre-construction of artificial nerve.DESIGN: Open experiment.SETTING: Department of Hand Surgery, Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University.MATERIALS: This experiment was conducted at the Key Laboratory of Hand Function Reconstruction, Ministry of Public Health from July 2003 to December 2003. Four male SD rats, of clean degree, were used in this experiment. Chitosan-collagen film was made in Qisheng Biomaterial Technique Institute, Shanghai, Schwann cells activator solution was made in our laboratory (self-made).METHODS: After rats were anaesthenia, the sciatic nerve was cut off to perform predegeneration for 7 days. Another anaesthenia later, the rats were euthanized. Both sides of sorciatic nerves were cut off quickly and put in the D-HANK's solution containing penicillin and streptomycin.Epineurium was eliminated and chipped into 1 mm pieces, then put in the centrifuge tube containing 5 g/L trypsinase and 0.6 g/L collagenase. 0.5 mL activator solution every 2 mL liquid was added and the activated Schwann cells were harvested with the way of two-step enzymolysis. 2×107 L-1 activated Schwann cells in 200 μL were inoculated to Chitosan-collagen film and Petri dish . Two weeks later, cellular growth was observed under phase contrast microscope and scanning electron microscope. Cellular purity was identified with S-100 staining.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Drawing cell growth curve and confirming in vitro doubling time. ②Observation of activated Schwanri cells under an inverted phase contrast microscope. ③ Observation of activated Schwann cells inoculated on Chitosan-collagen film under scanning electron microscope.RESULTS: ① Confirmation of in vitro doubling time: Concentration of activated Schwann cells inoculated on both Chitosan-collagen and Petri dish was 2×107 L-1, the final concentration was up to 3.0×108 L-1 and 2.0×108 L-1 respectively 2 weeks later. Doubling time of activated Schwann cells cultured on Chitosan-collagen film was 4 days calculated according to DT=(t-t0) lg2/(lgn-lgn0). ②Observation of activated Schwanncells under an inverted microscope: 24 hours later, the activated Schwann cells inoculated to Petri dish mostly changed from spherical to long shuttle-shape,mutation appeared and most were two-pole shape, fewer were three-pole shape; Morphologically, there was no significant difference between activated Schwann cells inoculated on Chitosan-collagen film and on Petri dish. Activated Schwann cells inoculated to Chitosan-collagen film were like "words cayed on the sand" under phase contrast microscope and the purity was over 95%. ③ Observation of activated Schwann cells inoculated to Chitosan-collagen under scanning electron microscope: Most of activated Schwann cells grew in the introcession of Chitosan-collagen or closely to surface of Chitosan-collagen, presenting regular head-to-end connection and adhesion to Chitosan-collagen film. The cell body was fusiform,with diameter of 4-6 μm, 60-80 μm in length. Cells were shuttle-shape with some small branches. Morphology of Chitosan-collagen film was still complete at week 1.CONCLUSION: There exists great affinity between Chitosan-collagen film and high-purity activated Schwann cell; so tissue-engineering scaffold made of the two components probably promote peripheral nerve regeneration.

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare activated and normal Schwann cells in GAP43 gene expression. Methods 10 male SD rats, weighed from 100 g to 120 g. The right median nerve of SD rats was transected at the axillary level and was buried in muscle for predegeneration. 1 week later, the distal segment of the transected right median nerve with 1 cm long was harvested. The untreated left median nerve was harvested as control with same length. The epineurium of nerve was stripped, then the nerve tract was cut to small pieces. Schwann cells were obtained by way of double kinases digestion with 0.25% trypsin and 0.03% collegenase. The right median nerve was activated with additional liquid during digestion so as to obtain the activated Schwann cells. The normal Schwann cells were harvested from left median nerve. rt-PCR was used for GAP43 gene enlargement. mRNA was distilled from activated Schwann cells and untreated Schwann cells respectively. Then the mRNA was reversely transcripted to cDNA with SuperScriptTM, and cDNA worked as template for PCR enlargement. The product of PCR was separated with 1% agarose gel electrophoresis for 40 -50 min and stained with SYBR Green Ⅰnucleic acid gel. Fluorescence intensity of GAP43 PCR products was measured and then compared between the experiment group and control group. Results The Fluorescence intensity of GAP43 PCR product of activated Schwann cells was higher than that of normal Schwann cell. There was significant difference (P=0.003, Paired t test). It indicated that GAP43 mRNA of activated Schwann cells was much more than that of the normal Schwann cells. Conclusion GAP43 gene expression is up regulated in activated Schwann cells in contrast to normal Schwann cells. Activated Schwann cells secreting more GAP43, which may be one of the important mechanisms in promoting nerve regeneration.
