Abstract
Recently, more than 200 live births following ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) and transplantation in cancer survivors have been reported worldwide. However, cancer survivors with minimal residual disease (MRD) in cryopreserved ovarian tissue are at the risk of relapse through the graft. Here, we report a rare case of a 19-year-old female patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma who had MRD in the ovary harvested for OTC. The patient was diagnosed with aggressive B-cell lymphoma after gingival biopsy. The 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography scan performed before OTC showed no viable lesions in either ovary. However, on histological evaluation, we detected infiltration of lymphoma cells in the ovary. Informed consent about MRD is required even if there is no evidence of MRD in the ovary before OTC. Patients whose cryopreserved ovaries have MRD may require the development of alternative assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro growth or artificial ovary.

Abstract
Planets with radii between that of the Earth and Neptune (hereafter referred to as 'sub-Neptunes') are found in close-in orbits around more than half of all Sun-like stars1,2. However, their composition, formation and evolution remain poorly understood3. The study of multiplanetary systems offers an opportunity to investigate the outcomes of planet formation and evolution while controlling for initial conditions and environment. Those in resonance (with their orbital periods related by a ratio of small integers) are particularly valuable because they imply a system architecture practically unchanged since its birth. Here we present the observations of six transiting planets around the bright nearby star HD 110067. We find that the planets follow a chain of resonant orbits. A dynamical study of the innermost planet triplet allowed the prediction and later confirmation of the orbits of the rest of the planets in the system. The six planets are found to be sub-Neptunes with radii ranging from 1.94R⊕ to 2.85R⊕. Three of the planets have measured masses, yielding low bulk densities that suggest the presence of large hydrogen-dominated atmospheres.

Abstract
Spectroscopy of transiting exoplanets can be used to investigate their atmospheric properties and habitability. Combining radial velocity (RV) and transit data provides additional information on exoplanet physical properties. We detect a transiting rocky planet with an orbital period of 1.467 days around the nearby red dwarf star Gliese 486. The planet Gliese 486 b is 2.81 Earth masses and 1.31 Earth radii, with uncertainties of 5%, as determined from RV data and photometric light curves. The host star is at a distance of ~8.1 parsecs, has a J-band magnitude of ~7.2, and is observable from both hemispheres of Earth. On the basis of these properties and the planet's short orbital period and high equilibrium temperature, we show that this terrestrial planet is suitable for emission and transit spectroscopy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac sarcoidosis is a cause of epicarditis and sustained life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. These arrhythmias occasionally arise from epicardial. Positron emission tomogramphy-comututed tomography (PET-CT) is useful for diagnosis with sarcoidosis. However, the usefulness for prediction of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis is unknown.
Objective
We hypothesized that the evaluation of pericardial fat inflammation could identify high-risk sarcoidosis patients for ventricular arrhythmias.
Methods
We enrolled 20 consecutive patients with cardiac sarcoidosis performed PET-CT between August 2016 and December 2018. In each case, we measured the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of pericardial fat around the left atrium, both ventricules, atrioventricular groove, and left main coronary.
Results
Seven patients experienced ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF). VT/VF patients had significantly more complete right bundle branch block (P=0.035), larger left atrial dimension (P=0.021), larger left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (P=0.005), lower ejection fraction (P=0.007), and higher E/e' (P=0.004). SUVmax of pericardial fat in the roof of left atrium (LA) and left ventricular (LV) with VT/VF patients were significantly higher than non-VT/VF patients (LA: 1.63 vs 1.32, P=0.0311; LV: 1.84 vs 1.26, P=0.045). The cut-off values of SUVmax derived from the ROC curve in the roof of LA and LV are 1.47 and 1.59 respectively. The Kaplan Meire estimator showed that high SUVmax patients in the roof of LA had significantly more detection of NSVT.
Conclusions
Our results suggest the relationship between SUVmax and VT/VF occurrence in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis. The evaluateon of SUVmax may be useful for VT/VF risk stratification.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Using excised human left atrial appendage samples, we previously demonstrated that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) are highly associated with atrial myocardial fibrosis as a substrate of atrial fibrillation (AF). We also reported the relationship between Angptl2 in EAT and atrial fibrosis. However, the mechanism is not clear. The purpose is to clarify the mechanisms underlying the effect of EAT on the atrial myocardium.
Methods
Human peri-left atrial EAT and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) samples were obtained from 6 cases (2 females, 70.2±13.2 years). 50 mg of EAT and SAT were quickly washed with PBS and centrifuged 1min at 1200rpm. After 3 times this procedures, adipose tissues were cultured in DMEM F12 medium with Fetal bovine Serum (FBS) overnight.
After pre-incubation, EAT and SAT tissues were washed and centrifuge d three times and cultured in medium without FBS for 24hours. Finally, we collected oozed medium (conditioned medium) and used for experiments.
Concentrations of Angptl2 in conditioned medium were measured by ELISA.
To study the effects of conditioned medium, we used “organo-culture” system. Isolated atrium from 8week old male Sprague-Dawley rats were placed on the porous membrane with the endothelial face toward the membrane. After that, loading medium (conditioned medium:culture medium = 1:4), culture medium (control), or recombinant Angptl2 were dropped onto the epicardial face of the atrium once a day and incubated for 7 days (37°C, 5% CO2).
Then, histological and immunohistochemical analysis were performed. We also performed quantitative reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) analysis.
Next, we isolated and cultured neonatal rat fibroblast and loaded Angptl2 for 24 hours.After collected these cells, we performed western blotting analysis.
Results
Atria organo-culture incubated for 7 days with conditioned medium showed global fibrosis. At epicardial side, fibrotic area of EAT group was significantly greater compared to that of SAT and control group (P<0.05).
mRNA of Col1a1, col3a1 and TGFβ1 were significantly increased in EAT group compared with the SAT and control group.
And, the concentration of conditioned medium created from EAT was significant higher than that from SAT (P<0.05).
Then, we dropped 500 ng/ml of recombinant Angptl2 onto the rat atria. Fibrotic area of Angptl22 group significantly greater than that of control with increasing number of α-SMA positive cells, and mRNA of col3a1 and TGFβ1 were significantly increased in Angptl2 group compared with control group.
In cultured fibroblasts, α-SMA and p-ERK expression were increased in Angptl2 group measured by western blotting analysis.
Conclusions
Our results demonstrated that EAT rather than SAT induces atrial myocardial fibrosis. There is a possibility that Angptl2 effused from EAT plays a part in atrial fibrosis thought EAT paracrine effect.

Abstract
The high toxicity of chemotherapy can damage a patient's gonadal function, leading to premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Here, we report the case of a patient suffering from POI after chemotherapy for breast cancer, who 3 years later ovulated spontaneously and became pregnant. The patient, a 31-year-old infertile women, nulligravida, was diagnosed with breast cancer. The Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) level in her serum was 1.85 ng/mL before multimodal treatment for cancer. She later visited our hospital for amenorrhea and 2 years after cancer treatment, she was diagnosed with POI. Her AMH level at that point was less than 0.1 ng/mL. One year after the diagnosis of POI, the patient's AMH level increased slightly to 0.14 ng/mL and she ovulated spontaneously. The patient later became pregnant using Assisted Reproductive Technology on the fourth attempt.During the course of treatment for infertility at our hospital, the AMH levels in her serum changed along with the recovery of ovarian function. These findings suggest the possibility that ovulation and pregnancy could be predicted by the chronological changes of the AMH levels in the patient's serum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ameloblastoma (AM) shows locally invasive behaviour. However, biological investigations regarding regulation of gene expression associated with AM pathological features are difficult to perform, because AM cells can be passaged for a few generations due to senescence. We report a newly established immortalized AM cell line, AMB cells, by transfection with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). Furthermore, we examined whether TNF-α modulates bone resorption-related genes, IL-6 and MMP-9 in cooperation with TGF-β or IFN-γ. MATERIALS AND METHODS Following transfection of an hTERT expression vector into AM cells using a non-viral method, the effects of cytokines on the expressions of IL-6 and MMP-9 mRNA were examined using real-time PCR. TNF-α-induced NF-κB activity was examined by western blotting and transcription factor assays. RESULTS AMB cells continued to grow for more than 100 population doublings. Stimulation with TNF-α increased IL-6 and MMP-9 mRNA expressions, as well as NF-κB activation. Furthermore, TGF-β and IFN-γ dramatically increased TNF-α-mediated expressions of MMP-9 and IL-6 mRNA, respectively, while those responses were suppressed by NF-κB inhibitor. CONCLUSION We established an immortalized AM cell line by hTERT transfection. TNF-α-mediated regulation of MMP-9 and IL-6 via NF-κB may play an important role in the pathological behaviour of AMs, such as bone resorption.

Abstract
We present a statistical analysis of the first four seasons from a "second-generation" microlensing survey for extrasolar planets, consisting of near-continuous time coverage of 8 deg2 of the Galactic bulge by the OGLE, MOA, and Wise microlensing surveys. During this period, 224 microlensing events were observed by all three groups. Over 12% of the events showed a deviation from single-lens microlensing, and for ~1/3 of those the anomaly is likely caused by a planetary companion. For each of the 224 events we have performed numerical ray-tracing simulations to calculate the detection efficiency of possible companions as a function of companion-to-host mass ratio and separation. Accounting for the detection efficiency, we find that 55 - 22 + 34 % of microlensed stars host a snowline planet. Moreover, we find that Neptunes-mass planets are ~ 10 times more common than Jupiter-mass planets. The companion-to-host mass ratio distribution shows a deficit at q ~ 10-2, separating the distribution into two companion populations, analogous to the stellar-companion and planet populations, seen in radial-velocity surveys around solar-like stars. Our survey, however, which probes mainly lower-mass stars, suggests a minimum in the distribution in the super-Jupiter mass range, and a relatively high occurrence of brown-dwarf companions.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been implemented in clinical settings for a long time for their anti-inflammatory effects. With the number of NSAID users increasing, gastroenterological physicians and researchers have worked hard to prevent and treat NSAID-induced gastric mucosal injury, an effort that has for the large part being successful. However, the struggle against NSAID-induced mucosal damage has taken on a new urgency due to the discovery of NSAID-induced small intestinal mucosal injury. Although the main mechanism by which NSAIDs induce small intestinal mucosal injury has been thought to depend on the inhibitory effect of NSAIDs on cyclooxygenase (COX) activity, recent studies have revealed the importance of mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which occurs independently of COX-inhibition. ROS production is an especially important factor in the increase of small intestinal epithelial cell permeability, an early stage in the process of small intestinal mucosal injury. By clarifying the precise mechanism, together with its clinical features using novel endoscopy, effective strategies for preventing NSAID-induced small intestinal damage, especially targeting mitochondria-derived ROS production, may be developed.

Abstract
Using gravitational microlensing, we detected a cold terrestrial planet orbiting one member of a binary star system. The planet has low mass (twice Earth's) and lies projected at ~0.8 astronomical units (AU) from its host star, about the distance between Earth and the Sun. However, the planet's temperature is much lower, <60 Kelvin, because the host star is only 0.10 to 0.15 solar masses and therefore more than 400 times less luminous than the Sun. The host itself orbits a slightly more massive companion with projected separation of 10 to 15 AU. This detection is consistent with such systems being very common. Straightforward modification of current microlensing search strategies could increase sensitivity to planets in binary systems. With more detections, such binary-star planetary systems could constrain models of planet formation and evolution.

Abstract
We report a 5-year-old boy with X-linked myotubular myopathy complicated by peliosis hepatis. At birth, he was affected with marked generalized muscle hypotonia and weakness, which required permanent ventilatory support, and was bedridden for life. He died of acute fatal hepatic hemorrhage after using a mechanical in-exsufflator. Peliosis hepatis, defined as multiple, variable-sized, cystic blood-filled spaces through the liver parenchyma, was confirmed by autopsy. To avoid fatal hepatic hemorrhage by peliosis hepatis, routine hepatic function tests and abdominal imaging tests should be performed for patients with X-linked myotubular myopathy, especially at the time of using artificial respiration.

Abstract
PROBLEM To investigate the role of natural cytotoxicity receptor, NKp46 expression in cytokine-producing NK cells. METHOD OF STUDY CD56(+) /NKp46(+) NK cells from the peripheral blood and the uterine endometrium were magnetically separated. IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-β(1) expressions on NK cells were investigated using multicolor flow cytometry. RESULTS Peripheral blood and uterine endometrial NK cells were grouped into 4 subpopulations based upon the degree of CD56 and NKp46 expressions. NKp46 expression was associated with higher frequency of cytokine-producing NK cells, including CD56(dim) NK cells. The percentage of TNF-α(+) and IL-10(+) NK cells per total CD56(+) /NKp46(+) NK cells in the uterine endometrium showed a significant correlation with those of the peripheral blood in all subpopulations, but that of IFN-γ(+) , IL-4(+,) and TGF-β(1) (+) NK cells showed partial correlation. CONCLUSION Expression of NKp46 is involved in cytokine production of CD56(+) NK cells in the peripheral blood and the uterine endometrium.

Abstract
Changes of circulating blood volume (CB volume) measured by the dual indicator dilution method were observed in 33 chronically instrumented mongrel dogs following either alpha-chloralose-urethane (C group), additive isoflurane (I group) or sevoflurane anesthesia (S group). These anesthetic groups were each divided into two subgroups with regard to respiratory care, namely Cp, Ip and Sp for those with intermittent positive pressure ventilation (six animals per subgroups), and Cs, Is and Ss for those with spontaneous breathing (five animals per subgroups). The CB volume under positive pressure ventilation remained unchanged in the Ip and Sp groups at both 0.5 and 1.0 MAC, and in the Cp group. The CB volume remained essentially unchanged in the Cs and Is groups at both 0.5 or 1.0 MAC, but the plasma volume tended to increase slightly in the Is group at 1.0 MAC. In the Ss group under spontaneous breathing, however, the CB volume increased from 84.4 +/- 7.0 to 91.4 +/- 7.7 at 0.5 MAC, and to 91.4 +/- 10.2 ml.kg(-1) at 1.0 MAC (0.01 < P < 0.05). These increases were caused by an increase in the plasma volume. The above data suggests that a concomitant increase in the venous pressure associated with an increase in the intrathoracic pressure produced by positive pressure ventilation would attenuate changes in the CB volume during sevoflurane anesthesia.

Abstract
A 52-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was infected with tuberculosis (TB) on her forearm and hand, after 16 years of steroid therapy. Debridements and anti-TB therapy were performed successfully. Recently, the risk of significant morbidity from TB has been on the rise; this appears to be a complication of steroid therapy used to treat AIDS and some collagen vascular diseases. It is thought that steroid therapy causes an increased risk of TB. In this paper, we report our experience of this SLE patient who developed tuberculous tenosynovitis. We suggest that TB infection must be considered in the differential diagnosis whenever a patient presents with a chronic wrist or hand inflammation that is non-responsive to steroid treatment. Once TB infection is suspected, both histopathological and bacteriological examinations should be performed. Emergent treatment includes surgical debridement and the institution of early anti-TB therapy immediately after completing histopathological examination.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine whether angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition improved cardiac fatty acid metabolism in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Myocardial 123I-beta-methyl-iodophenylpentadecanoic acid (123I-BMIPP) imaging was performed in 25 patients with CHF and in 10 control subjects. Myocardial 123I-BMIPP images were obtained 30 min and 4 h after tracer injection. The heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio of 123I-BMIPP uptake and the washout rate of 123I-BMIPP from the myocardium were calculated. Patients were given enalapril for 6 months, and 123I-BMIPP imaging was repeated. H/M ratios on early and delayed images were lower in CHF patients than in normal controls (P<0.01). The washout rate of 123I-BMIPP from the myocardium was faster in CHF patients than in controls (P<0.01). As the severity of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class increased, the H/M ratio decreased and the washout rate increased. The washout rate of 123I-BMIPP was inversely correlated with left ventricular fractional shortening (R=-0.62, P<0.01). ACE inhibition with enalapril increased the H/M ratio on delayed images (P<0.05) and reduced the washout rate of 123I-BMIPP (P<0.05) in CHF patients. These data suggest that: (1) angiotensin II-mediated intracellular signalling activation may be a possible mechanism for the decreased myocardial uptake and enhanced washout of 123I-BMIPP in heart failure patients; and (2) the improvement in fatty acid metabolism by ACE inhibition may represent a new mechanism for the beneficial effect of this therapy in heart failure.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are cells that dynamically alternate resorption and migration on bone surfaces, and have the special structure called ruffled borders and clear zones by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). However, TEM features, especially the distribution of the clear zone of osteoclasts during migration, remains unclear. This study aimed to examine osteoclasts cultured on dentin slices by TEM and clarify the features of migrating osteoclasts, especially the three-dimensional distribution of clear zones. Osteoclasts obtained from mice were cultured with dentin slices for 72 h, and then cells were fixed and the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity was detected. Specimens were embedded in Epon, then TRAP-positive cells were serially sectioned by alternating semithin and ultrathin sections. The cells were examined by TEM and the three-dimensional structures were reconstructed by computer. By TEM, most TRAP-positive cells were resorbing osteoclasts with ruffled borders and a clear zone. There were osteoclasts without ruffled borders, and these cells had clear zone-like structures and lamellipodia. The three-dimensional reconstruction showed that resorbing osteoclasts had rounded contours and ring-shaped clear zones encircling ruffled borders, and that osteoclasts without ruffled borders had irregular and flat shapes; the clear zone-like structures showed a dot or patch-like distribution. The presence of lamellipodia of the osteoclasts without ruffled borders shows that the cells are migrating osteoclasts. These results suggest that dot or patch-like distribution is the feature of the clear zone of osteoclasts during migration, and that these structures play the role of focal contacts and adhesion to the dentin surfaces during cell migration.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine whether Doppler tissue imaging demonstrated comparable diagnostic performance for the detection of viable myocardium compared to myocardial perfusion imaging with Tc hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI). We studied 30 patients with old myocardial infarction who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Myocardial single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with Tc-MIBI and two-dimensional echocardiography were carried out within 7 days before PTCA. We measured regional Tc-MIBI uptake for each myocardial segment from SPECT and peak systolic velocity and a ratio of regional pre-ejection period to regional ejection time (PEP/ET) from pulsed Doppler tissue imaging. Biplane left ventriculography was performed before interventional procedures and repeated 3 months after PTCA. Myocardial viability was determined when wall motion was improved at least one grade after PTCA. The peak systolic velocity was positively correlated with regional Tc-MIBI uptake (R =0.59, P<0.01). The PEP/ET demonstrated inverse correlation with Tc-MIBI uptake ( R=-0.59, P<0.01). Peak systolic velocity of viable segments was higher than that of non-viable segments ( P<0.05). The PEP/ET was lower in viable segments than in non-viable segments ( P<0.05). Peak systolic velocity and PEP/ET demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy for detecting viable myocardium compared with Tc-MIBI perfusion imaging (80% and 79% vs 90%). These data indicate that measurements of regional peak systolic velocity and PEP/ET by Doppler tissue imaging are useful for evaluating myocardial viability quantitatively and provide helpful information for a clinical judgment in an interventional strategy.

Abstract
Apical periodontitis after pulp therapy in a primary tooth can cause delayed eruption of the permanent successor. A case of bilateral delayed eruption of mandibular premolars is presented. The patient. a 13-year-old girl, was referred by her dentist. Oral findings showed that the right first and left second primary molars were retained. Other premolars had erupted. An orthopantomogram revealed apical periodontitis, affecting both retained primary molars. The right first mandibular premolar was impacted against the alveolar bone and root of the second premolar, and there was a large cystic lesion in close association with the left second mandibular premolar. Both primary molars were extracted, and the cystic lesion was treated by marsupialization. Fenestration and traction were performed on the right first premolar. Correct tooth alignment was achieved with orthodontic appliances. If the problem had been detected earlier, treatment of the premolars might have been easier. Clinical and radiological follow-up, therefore, of primary teeth that have undergone pulp therapy procedures should be performed until eruption of succedaneous teeth.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLR) in the innate immune system have not been identified in non-mammalian vertebrates. Two types of TLR were cloned from a chicken bursa cDNA library using degenerate primers based on the consensus sequences of mouse and Drosophila Toll and designated as chicken TLR (chTLR) type 1 and type 2. Of the nine human TLRs reported to date, these chTLRs showed the highest homology to human TLR2. The extracellular regions of type 1 and type 2 contained a distinct approximately 200-amino acid stretch and were 45.3 and 46.3% homologous to that of human TLR2. The intracellular Toll/interleukin-1R homology domain of type 1 and type 2 was perfectly identical to each other and highly homologous (80.7%) to that of human TLR2. Both types were widely detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting in various chicken organs, especially those rich in connective tissue. Both genes were mapped to chromosome 4q1.1, suggesting that they arose by gene duplication. By reporter gene assay, type 2 and to a lesser extent type 1, selectively signaled the presence of mycoplasma macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2/M161Ag in the human embryonic kidney 293 cell system. Cotransfection of type 2 and human CD14 or MD-2 into human embryonic kidney 293 cells allowed the response to Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS), whereas type 1 did not signal LPS or any other microbial components tested. These results indicated that chTLR type 2 covers two major microbe patterns, lipoproteins and LPS, which are regulated by TLR2 and TLR4 in mammals. In oviparous animals, the duplicated TLRs in the pattern-recognition system may function for host-pathogen discrimination in a manner that is distinct from that in mammals.

Abstract
Reverse redistribution (RR) of 99mTc-sestamibi is observed after direct percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The purpose of this study was to clarify the functional characteristics of myocardial segments with RR after direct PTCA in AMI. Thirty patients with AMI who had undergone direct PTCA were examined. Myocardial perfusion tomography with 99mTc-sestamibi and low dose dobutamine echocardiography were performed within 2 weeks of the onset. The 99mTc-sestamibi images were obtained 1 and 3 h after tracer administration. The left ventricle was divided into nine segments, and regional 99mTc-sestamibi uptake and clearance were quantitatively evaluated in each segment. RR was defined as a decrease in 99mTc-sestamibi uptake of >10% on 3 h delayed images compared with the 1 h early images. The left ventricle in the echocardiographic images was also divided into nine segments corresponding to the scintigraphic images, and regional wall motion was assessed in the resting condition as the baseline and during dobutamine administration (5-10 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)). Out of a total of 270 myocardial segments, 111 segments were perfused by the culprit coronary artery and were defined as ischaemic segments. There were 25 segments with RR and 86 segments without RR in the ischaemic myocardium. Enhanced clearance of 99mTc-sestamibi was observed in ischaemic segments with RR (P<0.001). Echocardiography demonstrated that 24 out of 25 segments with RR and 61 out of 86 segments without RR had wall motion abnormalities. Dobutamine infusion improved wall motion in 20 (83%) of the 24 dysfunctional segments with RR and 33 (54%) of the 61 dysfunctional segments without RR (P<0.02). These findings suggest that RR indicates reversible functional abnormalities associated with preserved contractile reserve in response to dobutamine. The early and delayed imaging of 99mTc-sestamibi provides useful information regarding the residual viability of the dysfunctional myocardium in AMI patients.

Abstract
A reversed pedicled venous flap containing perivenous areolar tissue and/or nerve was used to cover traumatic skin defects of seven fingers in six patients. The series consisted of six men, ranging in age from 20 to 57 years (average: 39 years). The reconstructed sites were four dorsal skin defects and three volar skin defects of the finger. The flap was designed on the dorsum of the hand, in such a way as to place a vein at the centre of the flap and not to involve the dorsal metacarpal artery. The flap contained a dorsal vein, perivenous areolar tissue and fascia of the interosseous muscle. Cutaneous nerves were present in three of the seven flaps. The pedicle of the flap was dissected distally to the finger web space and the flap was transferred to the skin defect. The size of the flap ranged from 1.4x4.5 cm to 6.0x7.0 cm. The average length of the pedicle was 1.6 cm. Skin grafting was needed at the donor site in one case (flap size: 6.0x7.0 cm), but primary closure was possible in the remaining cases. Postoperatively, the largest flap showed superficial necrosis, although it survived. The remaining flaps survived completely. This suggests that in a large flap the skin should be attached to the pedicle to prevent congestion. The flap can be elevated without reference to the dorsal metacarpal artery at the ulnar side of the dorsum of the hand. The flap is an effective option to reconstruct skin defects of the finger, especially the little finger.
