Article Synopsis
- - Free jejunal transfer is an important surgical technique for reconstructing complex defects following total pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy (TPLE), especially when additional soft tissue removal is necessary. - The study presents a new approach using a combination of free jejunal and mesenteric flaps to simultaneously repair two distinct defects in a patient with extensive cancer-related tissue loss. - An 81-year-old patient successfully had a chimera flap surgery, leading to a smooth recovery without complications or recurrences for eight months, demonstrating the effectiveness of this dual reconstruction method.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on 37 patients to evaluate a new method for lower eyelid reconstruction using skin flaps to address issues like flap drooping.
- Patients were divided into two groups; Group A used traditional reconstruction techniques, while Group B employed a novel approach combining a periosteal flap and a de-epithelialized triangular flap.
- Results showed that Group B had significantly better outcomes in terms of drooping index, canthal tilt, and patient satisfaction compared to Group A, indicating the new method is more effective.
Functional outcomes associated with prognostic factors and innervated muscle transplantation after wide soft tissue sarcoma resection remain unclear. We retrospectively examined the functional outcomes of reconstructive flap surgery for soft tissue sarcoma. Twenty patients underwent innervated muscle transplantation with pedicled or free flaps for functional reconstruction of resected muscles.

- The small intestine is vital for absorbing drugs and nutrients but is also a target for drug toxicity and interactions with foods and bacteria.
- Current models used to study the small intestine, like Caco-2 cells and animals, have limitations in accurately mimicking human metabolic processes.
- The study explores human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived small intestinal epithelial cells (hiSIECs), finding they replicate key characteristics of human cells and can effectively assess drug toxicity, immune responses, and pharmacokinetics.
Aims: This study analyzed the gait patterns of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) patients and changes in the center of mass sway to prevent the formation and recurrence of foot ulcers.
Methods: Forty-two subjects were divided into the diabetes mellitus (DM), DPN, and diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) groups. We measured the range of motion (ROM) of the lower limb joints in the resting position and the center of mass sway in the standing position.
