Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the anatomical basis and clinical efficiency of the advancement distance in dorsal digital V-Y advancement flap.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-four fingers in 11 fresh adult hand specimen were selected, V-Y flap was performed with the digital artery as vascular pedicle, and the advancement distance was measured. The relationship between the distance and extensibility of skin, sliding degree of subcutaneous superficial fascia, angular displacement of digital arterial dorsal branch, elasticity of digital artery was discussed. Two cases were provided to demonstrate the feasibility and importance of this flap.
Results: In the dorsal digital V-Y advancement flap simulated on fresh adult hand specimens, the mean advance distance of the middle segment flap and proximal segment flap is 18 ± 0.8 mm and 34 ± 1.7 mm, respectively, and the maximum can reach 24 and 45 mm, respectively. Two cases of dorsal digital V-Y advancement flaps were designed and performed in the dorsal side of the ring finger middle segment and the thumb proximal segment, respectively. The advancement distances were 25 and 26 mm, respectively. All flaps survived completely and the incisions healed by first intention. The flap texture was good, the affected finger was symmetrical, and the activity and sensation restored well.
Conclusion: The dorsal digital V-Y advancement flap with the digital artery as the main vascular pedicle can exert four factors for advancement effect, and significantly increase the advancement distance. The operation is simple, the blood supply is reliable, and the postoperative sensation is normal. It is an ideal flap for repairing the digital dorsal defect.

Bronchial schwannoma is a rare benign tumor traditionally managed through surgical resection. This case report describes a 69-year-old Chinese woman with an asymptomatic bronchial schwannoma incidentally discovered during routine health check-up. Computed tomography (CT) and bronchoscopy revealed a broad-based mass (27 mm × 16 mm) at the right lower lobe bronchus, causing complete obstruction of the dorsal segment and severe stenosis (>80%) of the basal segment.

Digital papillary adenocarcinoma is a rare cutaneous tumor of eccrine origin that often presents as a papule or nodule on the dorsal aspect of a finger. It is challenging to diagnose because of its rarity, its benign appearance, and the lack of specific clinical or histological features. Excision is recommended, given the malignant nature and variable recurrence rates with metastases well documented in the literature.

Early development of the human fetal cerebral cortex involves a set of precisely coordinated molecular processes that remains rather underexplored. Previous studies indicate that the laminar identity and the molecular specification of cortical neurons driven by genetic programming, as well as associated histogenetic events begin during early fetal development. Our recent study discovered unique regional cytoarchitectonic features in the developing human frontal lobe, including migratory waves of postmitotic neurons in the dorsal frontal cortex and the "double plate" feature in orbitobasal cortex (Kopić et al.

Background And Aim: The neurological processes responsible for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) pathophysiology and its clinical potentials are not fully understood. The current study aimed to examine white matter microstructural abnormalities and the reasons behind white matter impairment in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome by performing a meta-analysis of diffusion tensor imaging studies.
