Ischemic skin flap necrosis can occur in random pattern flaps. An excess amount of reactive oxygen species is generated and causes necrosis in the ischemic tissue. Nitrosonifedipine (NO‐NIF) has been demonstrated to possess potent radical scavenging ability. However, there has been no study on the effects of NO‐NIF on ischemic skin flap necrosis. Therefore, they evaluated the potential of NO‐NIF in ameliorating ischemic skin flap necrosis in a mouse model. A random pattern skin flap (1.0 × 3.0 cm) was ...

Flap transplantation has been an important procedure in plastic and reconstructive surgery to cover and fill various defects.Flap necrosis due to blood circulation failure leads to severe complications, especially in a patient undergoing reconstruction concerning the body cavity after tumor ablation.Surgical procedures for flap transplantation have been further improved and developed.We have reviewed from the random pattern flap to the newest procedure, the perforator flap.Perforator vessels were ...

Pure non-gestational choriocarcinoma is a primary germ cell neoplasm that has been defined as a tumor without other germ cell elements. The current study presents an extremely rare case of non-gestational pure choriocarcinoma in a postmenarcheal young female and describes details of the tumor, including the clinicopathological findings. The patient was a 10-year-old female who underwent salpingo-oophorectomy. Histologically, the extensive hemorrhagic tumor was composed of choriocarcinoma without ...

Recurrence and complication rates of pressure sores are highest in the ischial region, and other donor sites are needed for recurrent pressure sores. The potential of a new freestyle pedicle flap for ischial lesions, an internal pudendal artery perforator (iPap) thigh flap, was examined through anatomical and theoretical analyses and a case series using computed tomography angiography.The skin flap was designed in the thigh region based on an iPap. The skin perforators were marked with a Doppler ...

This retrospective study examined the validity of the commonly used serum albumin level as an indicator of nutrition status of patients with pressure ulcer(s), particularly because the serum albumin level is affected by various factors and may not be specific to malnutrition. Specifically, we investigated whether nutrition supply or inflammation affects the serum albumin level in 82 patients with pressure ulcers(s) (29 in whom pressure ulcer was present upon admission and 53 in whom pressure ulcer ...

The aim of this retrospective study was to examine whether serum albumin levels offer a good marker of nutritional status in patients with burns. Serum albumin levels have been used to evaluate nutritional status in burns patients, even though these levels are affected by various factors and are not specific to malnutrition. To clarify whether provision of nutrition or presence of inflammation affects serum albumin levels, we studied serum albumin levels, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and caloric ...

Background: Reconstruction of the vulva, vagina, and buttocks following cancer ablation is challenging. Restoring the shape, volume, and function is the key to the best reconstruction for these regions. Perineal reconstruction with a free-style flap based on skin perforators from the internal pudendal artery was evaluated. Methods: The internal pudendal artery perforator flap was designed based on information about the skin perforators. The flap base contained the arterial sounds, which were identified ...

Background Although the utility of flaps for the treatment of sternal wound infections following median sternotomy has been reported for 30 years, there have been few reports on the risk factors for complications after reconstruction. The objective of this investigation was to identify factors related to complications after the reconstruction of sternal wound infections. Methods A retrospective analysis of 74 patients with reconstructive surgery after sternal wound infection over a 5-year period ...

BACKGROUND Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic and often refractory skin disease that can require radical excision of the full layer of fatty tissue under the lesion. Closure using a split-thickness skin graft often results in depression deformity and lack of tissue flexibility. We have developed a two-stage procedure to preserve fatty tissue during radical excision and apply an artificial dermis graft, and we have performed this procedure in 18 patients (33 lesions). OBJECTIVE To describe our ...

Background: Measurement of transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) and transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure (TcPCO2) has been used for free flap monitoring. Because these values are obtained with sensor probes heated to 44°C, there is potential for low-temperature burns on skin flaps. We measured TcPO2 and TcPCO2 at 37°C in both animals and humans to determine the feasibility and safety of the procedure as a postoperative flap monitoring method. Methods: Twelve epigastric island flaps were elevated ...

Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare type of sarcoma that is characterized by benign-appearing histologic features but a paradoxically aggressive clinical course. These tumors generally occur in young to middle-aged adults, sometimes in children, but rarely in high-aged adults. LGFMS typically affects the deep soft tissues of the trunk or lower extremities; however, it is rarely seen in the face. We here describe a case of LGFMS on the right forehead of an 84-year-old woman. After resection ...

A water-in-oil-water (W/O/W) multiple phase emulsion was prepared by a two-step emulsification procedure. The oil phase consisted of paraffin oil and sorbitan monooleate. The inner aqueous phase and the outer aqueous phase were 0.5% glucose solution and 3% polysorbate 80 solution, respectively. Viscosity measurements were carried out on the W/O/W emulsion after diluting it with a number of solutions. A given sequence for the solutes that would increase the emulsion viscosity after dilution was determined. ...

However, delayed healing at the donor site occasionally occurs due to wound dehiscence or the partial loss of grafted skin at the donor site.

Severe traumatic bone and soft-tissue defects are often treated by lower leg amputation. The amputation level becomes a very important factor with respect to the patient's basic daily activities. We report the case of a 51-year-old man who was referred to us with severe traumatic metatarsal bone and dorsum pedis skin and soft-tissue defects. To avoid amputation, a free fibular osteomyocutaneous flap incorporating the soleus muscle was used to reconstruct the second and third metatarsal bones and ...
