  • Reconstruction finger web with dorsal two wing-shaped advancement flap for the treatment of congenital syndactyly

    ObjectiveTo discuss the effectiveness of using dorsal two wing-shaped advancement flap to reconstruct finger web for treatment of congenital syndactyly.MethodsBetween August 2014 and August 2017, 30 cases of congenital syndactyly were treated, including 18 males and 12 females with an average age of 2.5 years (range, 1.5-5 years). Eight cases were of bilateral hands syndactyly and 22 cases of single hand syndactyly. There were 39 webs of syndactyly (including 1 case of syndactyly of middle finger, ring finger, and little finger). Among them, 11 webs were complete and 28 webs were incomplete. At the dorsum, a flap with V-shaped tip and two wing-shaped pedicle was designed and was just sewed up with an anchor-shaped incision at the palm. Distal end of fingers were separated by serrated flap and were sutured after removal of fatty tissue. In 11 cases with tight skin connection, the defect area at lateral and distal end of fingers was repaired by small pieces of full-thickness skin graft.ResultsAll the flaps survived completely after operation, and no flap necrosis occurred. The skin grafts on the distal side of the finger survived and the wound healed by first intension. All 30 cases were followed up 6-12 months, with an average of 9 months. Postoperative flexion and extension function of fingers were good, and the web depth and width were normal. At last follow-up, according to the Swanson et al. standard, 20 fingers were graded as excellent, 8 as good, and 2 as fair, with an excellent and good rate of 93.3%.ConclusionThe effectiveness of using dorsal two wing-shaped advancement flap to reconstruction finger web for treatment of congenital syndactyly is satisfactory.

  • Simulation study on parameter optimization of transcranial direct current stimulation based on rat brain slices

    Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an important method for treating mental illnesses and neurodegenerative diseases. This paper reconstructed two ex vivo brain slice models based on rat brain slice staining images and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data respectively, and the current densities of hippocampus after cortical tDCS were obtained through finite element calculation. Subsequently, a neuron model was used to calculate the response of rat hippocampal pyramidal neuron under these current densities, and the neuronal responses of the two models under different stimulation parameters were compared. The results show that a minimum stimulation voltage of 17 V can excite hippocampal pyramidal neuron in the model based on brain slice staining images, while 24 V is required in the MRI-based model. The results indicate that the model based on brain slice staining images has advantages in precision and electric field propagation simulation, and its results are closer to real measurements, which can provide guidance for the selection of tDCS parameters and scientific basis for precise stimulation.
