Background: Skin photoaging (SP) is a complex and complicated process of skin characteristic changes caused by excessive sunlight. Wrinkles, looseness, coarseness, and increase or loss of pigment are the main clinical manifestations of the disease. The pathogenesis of SP mainly involving oxidative stress, inflammatory reaction, immune dysregulation and DNA damage, and so on.

Background: Thoracodorsal artery perforator (TAP) flaps without latissimus dorsi muscle - have been used for reconstruction of the extremities, head and neck as free style flaps, and as pedicled flaps for reconstruction of the chest wall and axillary wounds. This retrospective study aimed to analyse the clinical applications and relevant anatomic findings of TAP flaps.
Methods: From April 2007 to August 2011, 67 free or pedicled TAP flaps were transferred in 67 patients for reconstruction of wounds of the extremities, chest wall and axilla.

Objective: To investigate the clinical application of superior or inferior gluteal artery perforator flaps for the gluteal sores.
Methods: Before operation, the perforator artery was detected by Doppler flowmeter and labeled. The perforator flap was designed, including the perforator artery, but not the gluteal maximum muscle.

Objective: To analyses the clinical application of thoracodorsal artery perforator flaps (TAP).
Methods: We used free or pedicled TAP flaps in 7 patients from Aug 2006 to April 2007, The age ranged from 7 to 42 years old, the perforator arteries was detected and labeled with a hand held Doppler flowmeter, the size of flaps ranged from 6 cm x 9 cm - 12 cm x 16 cm, the flaps designed with perforator artery included, all the flaps are based on the first perforator artery.
Results: All the flaps survived well, no complication occurred with lowest donor site morbidity.
Background: Reconstruction of defects involving the knee and proximal one third of the lower leg presents a challenging problem in plastic surgery.
Aim: To evaluate the reversed anterolateral thigh adipofascial flap for covering such defects.
Methods: Between September 2006 and May 2007, one man and four women with defects around the knee and upper calf underwent reconstruction with reversed anterolateral thigh adipofascial flaps.
