A Super-Microsurgery Training Model: The Mouse Caudal Artery Anastomosis Model.

Objective: To establish a simple and practical model for super-microsurgery training using the middle caudal arteries of Kunming mice.

Methods: A ⊔-shaped incision was made approximately 1 cm from the root of the tail in the mouse, and the skin, together with the subcutaneous tissue, was turned up into a rectangular shape to the opposite side with exposure of the mouse middle caudal artery and the accompanying veins. The artery was freed for approximately 1 cm in length.

[Tissue transplantation with bone transmission for treating large defects of tibial bone and soft tissue].

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of tissue transplantation combined with bone transmission in treatment of large defects of tibial bone and soft tissue.

Methods: Between February 2006 and February 2011, 15 cases of traumatic tibia bone and soft tissue defects were treated. There were 12 males and 3 females, aged from 16 to 54 years (mean, 32 years).

[Different types of tissue transplantation in repairing tissue defects and function reconstruction].

Objective: To explore the clinical effect of different types of free tissue transplantation on repairing tissue defects and reconstructing functions.

Methods: From November 2001 to September 2004, 14 types of free tissue transplantation and 78 free tissue flaps were applied to repairing tissue defects and reconstructing functions in extremities and maxillofacial region in 69 cases. Of the 69 cases, there were 53 males and 16 females (their ages ranged from 18 to 56, 31 on average).
