Objective To introduce the current situation and prospect of the tissue-autografting, such as the flaps, muscle flaps, and bone(periosteum) flaps, andits application in reparative and reconstructive surgery. Methods Based on our own experiences and combined with the review of the literature at home and abroad, the latest development of the tissue autografting was analyzed. Results The femoral anterolateral flap, latissimus dorsi muscle flap, upper arm lateral flap, scap flap, temporal fascial flap and perforator flap are the frequently used in clinic. Of all the perforator flap had such advantages as better repair of the recipient sites and less damage of the donor site. Beacause of more advantages of the free myocutaneous flap transplantation, it substituted thefree muscle transplantation. The atissimus dorsi muscle myocutaneous flap was the most frequently used in the transplant of the vessels, with preserved function of the thoracodorsal nerve or with repair of the defected tissues by the bridge. The most common donor sites of the bone were ribs，iliac bone，fibula andscapula, so the severe bone defects or the bone nonunion, femoral head ischemic necrosis, and the bone graft from the tumor removal could be managed with the bones from those sites. Conclusion The autografting in repairing the tissue defect has become one of the most important surgical techniques in reparative and reconstructive surgery.
Human fibroblasts and human epidermal keratinocytes were used for culture. Chitosan solution were added in the culture solution(DMEM). After 72 hours, the fibroblasts showed rapid growth in the control culture without Chitosan, But the numbers of human fibroblasts from growth was decreased as the concentration of Chitosan was increasing. On the contrary the human epidermal keratinocytes growed more rapidly in the culture with Chitosan than in the culture without Chitosan. The results showed that Chitosan inhibited the growwth of human fibroblast and stimulated the growth of human epidermal keratinocyte .
Objective To study the advance in the treatment of atonic bladder after spinal cord injury. Methods The rencent literature concerned was extensively reviewed and some methods of therapy for atonic bladder were introduced. Results No effective method of therapy was found for atonic bladder after spinal cord injury. When compared with clean intermittent catheterization, pharmacologic therapy, compressive micturition and detrusor function reconstruction, the establishment of an artificial bladder reflex arc may have a potential of controllable micturition. Conclusion To establish an artificial bladder reflex may provide an update of current therapeutic concepts for atonic bladder after spinalcord injury.
