[INTRODUCTION] Double-eyelid blepharoplasty and epicanthoplasty is usually performed concurrently in Asian patients to achieve aesthetically pleasing eye appearance, but the epicanthal area is prone to scarring. This article introduces an i…

[BACKGROUND] Alar retraction, as a type of alar deformity, seriously affects the esthetic perception of the nose in patients. Despite the rapid development of rhinoplasty in recent years, the treatment of alar retraction is still a challeng…

[BACKGROUND] The free diced costal cartilage (FDCC) injection technique has been used in the augmentation rhinoplasty for a long time. In order to lower the incidence of nasal contour irregularities and graft displacement, we developed the …

This study describes a surgical technique for secondary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty using autologous costal cartilage grafts. The grafts were designed preoperatively and analysed three-dimensionally in 15 Asian patients using a photogramme…

[BACKGROUND] The multiple toothpick-shaped costal cartilage (MTCC) injection technique was introduced as an improvement based on the free diced costal cartilage (FDCC) injection technique for augmentation rhinoplasty. However, radix irregul…

[BACKGROUND] In the rhinoplasty of Asian short nose deformity, the surgeon cuts a portion of septal cartilage and retains the nasal septum L-strut, but a deviated nasal septum is formed after the surgery under forces of soft tissue contract…

[PURPOSE] To assess the clinical experience of using a three-dimensional (3D) system for ophthalmic surgical procedures. [METHODS] We retrospectively analysed video recordings of patients who underwent 3D ophthalmic surgery, using the NGEN…

[OBJECTIVE] To observe application values of intraoperative ultrasound combined with neuro electrophysiological detection in the spinal cord glioma surgery. [METHODS] Sixty patients with spinal cord glioma hospitalized in Baoding First Cen…

[STUDY DESIGN/PATIENTS AND METHODS] A 19-year-old male was reported to have a postoperative facial trauma suture as a result of being involved in a car accident. Red light-emitting diode (LED) therapy (20 min, 96 J/cm, 633 nm), Botulinum To…

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major environmental factor contributing skin damage. As UV exposure is inevitable, it is necessary to pay attention to the underlying molecular mechanisms of UV-induced skin damage to develop effective therap…

[BACKGROUND] Several minimally invasive nonsurgical treatments have been widely applied for plantar fasciitis (PF). To date, controversy still exists regarding the effectiveness of these approaches for treating PF. [OBJECTIVE] The purpose …

Arthritis is the most common cause to lead to chronic pain. Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) has been widely used to treat chronic pain. In our previous study, we confirmed the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of BoNT/A in the C…

[BACKGROUND] Endoscopic thyroidectomy and robotic thyroidectomy are effective and safe surgical options for thyroid surgery, with excellent cosmetic outcomes. However, in regard to lateral neck dissection (LND), much effort is required to a…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat transplantation has already become a part of clinical practice for aesthetic breast augmentation even though evidence regarding its efficacy is still lacking. [OBJECTIVES] The authors sought to determine the cur…

[BACKGROUND] The goal of this study was to determine the incidence of occult malignancy and high-risk breast pathologic findings in patients who undergo breast reduction procedures. [METHODS] Medical records of consecutive patients who und…

[BACKGROUND] Breast ptosis is directly caused by Cooper's ligament laxity, with the decline of nipple areola complex (NAC) and mammary parenchyma. Breast cancer with ptosis is always a knotty problem that can hardly be repaired by classic b…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat grafting is common in facial reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries; the most important drawbacks are the high absorption rate and unpredictable volume retention rate. Surgeons usually make clinical judgements bas…

To investigate the neuroprotective effect of facial nerve monitoring on acoustic schwannoma resection and its impact on prognosis. Eighty patients with acoustic schwannomas were enrolled in our study in the past 2 years and randomly divide…

The light-driven micro/nanomotor (LMNM) is machinery that harvests photon energy and generates self-propulsion in varieties of liquid media. Though visions are made that these tiny swimming machines can serve future medicine for accurate dr…

Although much progress has been made in engineering vascular grafts for large- and small-diameter arterial repair or bypass, the extension of these results to the microsurgical size scale has been challenging. Here, we evaluated the use of …

[BACKGROUND] Scars with poor cosmesis that develop after wound healing may affect normal life. [OBJECTIVE] To assess the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) in preventing postoperative hypertrophic scars or keloids. [METH…

Filamentous actin (F-actin) cytoskeletal remodeling is critical for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in pancreatic β-cells, and its dysregulation causes type 2 diabetes. The adaptor protein APPL1 promotes first-phase GSIS by up-r…

[BACKGROUND] Previous studies suggest that Huntingtin, the protein mutated in Huntington's disease (HD), is required for actin based changes in cell morphology, and undergoes stimulus induced targeting to plasma membranes where it interacts…

To determine the effects of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injections on self-esteem and quality of life (QOL) in blepharospasm patients, we enrolled 87 patients into the study. Patients completed the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, the Self-Es…

Direct exposure to cadmium (Cd) may induce persistent impairment in learning and memory. However, the outcomes of maternal exposure on the neurological development of offspring are much less clear, and the underlying mechanism leading to to…

[BACKGROUND] Surgical delay can improve flap viability, leading to vasodilation, neovascularization, and vessel reorganization. Experiments suggest a similar positive effect of botulinum toxin type A on pedicled flap viability. However, whe…

[BACKGROUND] Frustrated with the embarrassing appearance, patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) suffer from poor quality of life and low self-esteem. Moreover, several researches indicate that self-esteem is an important factor affectin…
