[Evaluation of the role of serum vascular endothelial growth factor and urinary basic fibroblast growth factor in differential diagnosis of vascular anomalies].

Objective: To evaluate the role of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and urine basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in the differential diagnosis of vascular anomalies by receiver operating characteristic curve.

Methods: Using the method of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), 364 cases of various vascular anomalies (proliferating hemangiomas, n = 146; hemangiomas, n = 106; vascular malformations, n = 112) and 440 cases of various vascular anomalies (proliferating hemangiomas, n = 154; involuting hemangiomas, n = 148; vascular malformations, n = 138) subjects were examined for the serum levels of VEGF and the urine bFGF respectively. Nonparametric statistical tests were used for data analysis.

[Clinic application of compound flap pedicled with arterial arch of palpebral margin].

Objective: To study the clinic application of compound flap pedicled with arterial arch of palpebral margin in repairing severe full defect of eyelid.

Methods: According to eyelid structure and the defect size, the two compound flaps were designed beside the defect based on the arterial arch of the palpebral margin. If the defective area was too large, the lateral compound flap may be extended to lower or upper eyelid 0.

[Experience of vaginal reconstruction by using a pudendal-thigh island flaps].

Objective: To evaluate a pudendal-thigh island flap for vaginal reconstruction.

Methods: Forty-seven patients with congenital absence of vagina were undergoing the treatment. Based on the pedicle including the posterior labial neurovascular bundle, a pudendal-thigh island flap was designed and raised in the groin crease just lateral to the labia majora under the deep fascia.
