  • EXPRESSION OF β-ENDORPHIN IN HYPERTROPHIC SCAR AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH PRURITUS

    Objective To identify the effect of β-endorphin in the development of paresthesia in hypertrophic scar by detecting the expression and content of β-endorphin in human normal skin and hypertrophic scar. Methods Hypertrophic scar samples were collected from 42 patients with hypertrophic scar for 1-20 years (mean, 4.5 years), including 15 males and27 females with an average age of 32.6 years (range, 16-50 years). According to the kind of paresthesia, they were divided into 3 gourps: non-pain-pruritus group (n=20), pruritus group (n=14), and pain-pruritus group (n=8). Normal skin samples (normal skin group) were harvested from 5 patients undergoing skin grafting surgery, including 3 males and 2 females with an average age of 24.6 years (range, 15-37 years). The immunofluorescence method was used to observe the expression of β-endorphin and ELISA method to detect the concentrations of β-endorphin in the tissues. Results The β-endorphin expressed in all samples, and it expressed around peri pheral nerve fibers in the dermis, fibroblasts, and monocytoid cells princi pally; and it expressed significantly ber in pruritus group and pain-pruritus group than in non-pain-pruritus group and normal skin group. The β-endorphin content was (617.401 ± 97.518) pg/mL in non-pain-pruritus group, (739.543 ± 94.149) pg/mL in pruritus group, (623.294 ± 149.613) pg/mL in pain-pruritus group, and (319.734 ± 85.301) pg/mL in normal skin group; it was significantly higher in non-pain-pruritus group, pruritus group, and pain-pruritus group than in normal skin group (P lt; 0.05); it was significantly higher in pruritus group than in non-pain-pruritus group and pain-pruritus group (P lt; 0.05); and there was no significant difference between non-pain-pruritus group and pain-pruritus group (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion The expression of β-endorphin is high in hypertrophic scar, it may paly an important role in process of pruritus in these patients.

  • SECONDARY RECONSTRUCTION OF POSTTRAUMATIC ORBITAL DEFORMITIES WITH CANTHUS DISLOCATION

    Objective To explore the secondary surgical reconstruction for orbital bone deformities accompanied with canthus dislocation after trauma. Methods From June 1998 to July 2007, 37 patients with secondary orbital bone fracture deformity accompanied with medial or lateral canthal l igament dislocation posttraumatically were treated, among whom there were 22 males and 15 females, aged 13-46 years old (21 on average). There were 29 cases of traffic accident, 6 of boxinginjury and 2 of beating injury by sticks. The latest reconstruction was performed on these 37 cases during 3 months to 8 years after injuries. There were 11 cases of orbital maxillary zygoma (OMZ) fracture, 15 of naso-orbito-ethmoid (NOE) fracture, 8 of OMZ and NOE fracture and 3 of frontal fracture. There were 31 patients who were reconstructed for the first time and 6 for the second time. Typical bicoronal and subcill iary incisions and intro-oral approach were employed to expose all the fractured sites. According to the fractured position and the degree of deformity and dislocation, the orbito-zygomatic fracture was repositioned after osteotomy and rigid fixation, or the heaved fragments were trimmed with a burr and the depressed fragments were filled with autogenous bone such as il ium, cranial outer table or Medpor in order to reconstruct orbital wall framework; the orbital walls were repaired to correct the enophthalmos with autogeneous bone or Medpor after the herniated orbital contents were released. The medial canthal l igament was anchored superior-posteriorly to the lacrimal fossa with transnasal wires fixation or fixed with titanium mini plates and nails. Results The 36 patients’ incisions obtained heal ing by first intention after the operation, and 1 case failed because of wound infection from maxillary sinusitis. There were 24 patients who were cured successfully with facial appearance and function improved significantly. During the follow-up for 3-6 months, no compl ication was found such as dislocation of the implant, rejection and infection. Two patients still showed sl ight enophthalmos while 3 patients with canthus dislocation regained improved appearances but not satisfactory. At 6 months after operation, the CT scan conducted in 3 patients with autogenous bone and Medpor grafting showed all fractures were fixed rigidly. Conclusion Surgical reduction combined with bone grafting is a satisfactory method for the correction of secondary orbital bone deformity, and the repair of canthus dislocation and correction of enophthalmos should be considered at the same time. An ideal result could be achieved only through all-round consideration and comprehensive treatment.
