Objective To detect the expression of heat shock protein 47 mRNA in pathological scar tissue by using real-time fluorescent quantitative reversetranscription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Methods The tissues of normal skin(n=6), hypertrophic scar(n=6) and keloid(n=6) were adopted, which were diagnosised by Pathology Department. Based on fluorescent TaqMan methodology, the real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR were adopted to detect the expression ofheat shock protein 47 mRNA. Results Compared with normal skin tissue（0.019±0.021）×105, the expressions of heat shock protein47 cDNA of hypertrophic scar tissue（1.233±1.039）×105 and keloid tissue（1.222±0.707）×105 were higher， being significant differences（Plt;0.05）. Conclusion A fluorescent quantitative method was successfully applied to detecting the expression of heat shock protein 47 mRNA. Heat shock protein 47 may play an important role in promoting the formation of pathological scar tissue.
OBJECTIVE To study the influence and mechanism of gamma-IFN on fibroblasts in hypertrophic scars(HTS). METHODS The cultured fibroblastic cells were isolated from the hypertrophic scars of 10 patients. The fibroblasts were divided into two groups, one group was treated with gamma-IFN (100 U/ml, 5 days) and the other without gamma-IFN as control. The proliferative activity in both groups was investigated and compared by blood cytometer, the proportion of myofibroblast (MFB) and the ratio of apoptosis were examined and analysed between two groups by flow cytometry using alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) as marker. RESULTS The proliferative activity was downregulated with gamma-IFN. In gamma-IFN treated group, the differentiation of MFB were reduced and the decreasing ratio was 3.2% at the 2nd day and up to 10.5% at the 8th day, then it reduced gradually. The apoptosic ratio is 17.7% in gamma-IFN treated group, and is 10.9% in control group. The difference was statistically significant. CONCLUSION gamma-IFN could downregulate the proliferation of fibroblasts, decrease the differentiation of MFB and induce the apoptosis. It has beneficial effect in the treatment of hypertrophic scars(HTS).
Based on skin elasticity and mobility, V-Y advancement flaps are designed to repair wounds. Traditional V-Y flaps have been limited due to short advancing distance. With the development of perforator flaps and the application of microsurgical techniques, V-Y advancement flaps are gradually transiting from traditional random flaps to axial flaps containing well-known vessels or perforator arteries. The advancing distance of V-Y advancement flaps is significantly increased, and the design forms are gradually flexible and diversified. V-Y advancement flaps are widely used in clinical practice and can be used to repair wounds in almost all parts of the body. This article reviews the clinical application progress of V-Y advancement flaps to further promote its clinical application.

Methods Sixteen Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly selected, and deep partial-thickness burn with 20% of the body surface was inflicted. The rats were randomly divided into experimental group and control group with eight in each group. Rats in the experimental group were treated with abdominal injection of Shenfu injection at a dose of 20 mL/(kg•d) for five days continually, and rats in the control group were treated with the same dose of 0.9% saline solution. The growth of granulation tissue and collagen fibers were evaluated under light microscope at the seventh and the fourteenth day. The growth of fibroblast was observed under transmission electron microscope at the fourteenth day. The cure rate of both groups of rats at the seventh and fourteenth day was calculated. Then we compared their healing time and the cure rate of the traumatic wound respectively. Results All rats had survived until wound healing. The cure rate at the seventh day for the experimental group and the control group was (36.34±2.55)% and (33.13±2.62)%, and their difference was statistical (t=2.486, P=0.027); At the fourteenth day, the cure rate was respectively (75.71±2.29)% and (72.36±2.85)% with a significant difference between each other (t=2.590, P=0.022). The healing time of the experimental group (20.88±1.36) was significantly shorter than that of the control group (22.9±2.16) (t=-2.286, P=0.040). At the seventh and fourteenth day, light microscope observation showed that the growth of granulation tissue and collagen fibers for rats in the experimental group were much more than that in the control group, the basale cell proliferation was more active, and inflammation was slighter. Through transmission electron microscope, we observed more fibroblast and collagen in the experimental group, which showed a better cure than the control group. Conclusion Shenfu injection can significantly promote wound healing of deep partial-thickness burn. It may possibly get this effect through anti-oxidation.
Objective To investigate and compare the effectiveness of perichondrial cutaneous graft (PCCG) of dorsal auricle for repairing defect after excision of melanocytic nevus in different parts of the face. Methods Between February 2008 and October 2012, 29 cases of facial melanocytic nevus were admitted. There were 11 males and 18 females, aged 3-25 years (median, 11 years). The locations were the upper eyelid in 5 cases, the nose in 15 cases, and the buccal region in 9 cases. The size of the nevi ranged from 1.2 cm × 1.0 cm to 4.0 cm × 2.2 cm. Defects after excision of nevi were repaired by PCCG of the dorsal auricle, which size ranged from 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm to 4.2 cm × 2.5 cm. The postoperative effectiveness was scored by patients according to color match, scar formation, and flatness of the reception site. The satisfaction evaluations were compared by the score among different parts. Results All the PCCG survived. All the patients were followed up 7-15 months (mean, 10 months). All the reception site had good color match and acceptable scar formation. The nasal part had good flatness, and the upper eyelid had poor flatness. Score comparison showed no significant difference in color match between 3 parts (P gt; 0.05). Nasal part had significantly less scar formation than buccal region and upper eyelid (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference between buccal region and upper eyelid (P gt; 0.05). Nasal part and buccal region both had significantly better flatness than upper eyelid (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference between nasal part and buccal region (P gt; 0.05). The overall evaluation score of nasal part and buccal region was significantly higher than that of the upper eyelid group (P lt; 0.05), and the score of the nasal part was significantly higher than that of the buccal region (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion PCCG of dorsal auricle has a good color match in repair of facial defect, especially in repair of nasal defect with good flatness and no obvious scar formation.
