[BACKGROUND] Aesthetic facial contouring procedures, particularly forehead augmentation, continue to increase in popularity in the Asian population. However, there are very few reports in the literature specifically examining the long-term …

Activation of Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) has been implicated in diverse kidney diseases, yet its in vivo significance in diabetic nephropathy (DN) is largely unknown. In the present study, we demonstrated a podocyte-s…

Treatment of postoperative pain remains a challenge in clinic. Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) and gabapentin regulate the release of neurotransmitters from primary afferent neurons, but their effects of on postoperative pain are not clear.…

Objective- Mitochondria are the important yet most underutilized target for cardio-cerebrovascular function integrity and disorders. The Tom (translocases of outer membrane) complex are the critical determinant of mitochondrial homeostasis …

[BACKGROUND] In Asia, young patients tend to undergo panfacial fat injection for facial contouring rather than for rejuvenation. Although the procedure is widely performed, there is no single approach that has been shown to have consistent …

The Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1), a member of the Rho family of small guanosine triphosphatases, is critical for many cellular activities, such as phagocytosis, adhesion, migration, motility, cell proliferation, and axo…

This study aimed to investigate the immediate impacts of Botulinum Toxin A (BoNT-A) injections on the inherent electrical properties of spastic muscles using a newly developed electrical impedance myography (EIM) technique. Impedance measur…

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on cognitive function following cerebral ischemia‑reperfusion (I/R) injury, and to clarify the mechanism through which Rho GTPase is associated with EA analg…

Recent results have shown that exercise training promotes the recovery of injured rat distal spinal cords, but are still unclear about the function of skeletal muscle in this process. Herein, rats with incomplete thoracic (T10) spinal cord …

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) has been extensively used for facial soft tissue augmentation procedures, and is regarded as safe and reliable and suitable as a permanent implant. This implant is generally used in the lower third o…

[PURPOSES] To compare the biological behaviors of human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) isolated from adipose tissue by lipectomy and liposuction, with the purpose of providing the basis for clinical application. [METHODS] The prolifera…

[OBJECTIVE] Augmentation rhinoplasty is a commonly procedure in clinical work for a plastic surgeon. Autologous costal cartilage is widely used in aesthetic rhinoplasy because of the abundant in quality. However, the cartilage may warp, and…

[OBJECTIVE] To assess the prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) in an aesthetic surgery setting in the region of Southwest China, and to ascertain the differences in terms of body images between patients in the aesthetic setting and …

Novel hydrogels based on carboxyl pullulan (PC) and human-like collagen (HLC) crosslinking with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) are promising soft fillers for tissue engineering due to their highly tunable properties. Recent studies,…

[BACKGROUND] Facial asymmetry is usually due to unbalanced development of the lower jaw and zygoma and often results in esthetically unpleasant appearance. However, reasonable and systematic treatment of such an asymmetric face is rarely re…

[UNLABELLED] Breast augmentation with autologous fat transfer has been widely practiced. However, this procedure is not exempt from complications even after technique refinement. This article aims to describe a case of long-lasting high fev…

[BACKGROUND] The most critical thing in breast augmentation surgery is to determine the location for implant placement. However, few researches on this were carried out in China. We therefore conducted this retrospective study to compare th…

We report a case of a lower lid ectropion with ectodermal dysplasia and ectropion blepharoplasty surgery experience. A 14-year-old Han nationality male patient with typical characteristics of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia presented to o…

Novel hydrogels (termed HCD hydrogels) were synthesized based on human-like collagen (HLC) and chitosan (CS) cross-linked with dialdehyde starch (DAS). The biological stability and biocompatibility of HCD hydrogels were determined through i…

[OBJECTIVE] To explore the feasibility and safety of dexmedetomidine combined with remifentanil for lower eyelid blepharoplasty. [METHODS] 50 patients undergoing lower eyelid blepharoplasty ASA I - II were randomly divided into 2 groups (2…

[PURPOSE] From an East Asian traditional esthetic viewpoint, a soft facial appearance seems to be more attractive. A prominent mandibular angle, a high zygomatic bone, and an inharmonious chin strongly lessen the attributes of femininity. A…

[OBJECTIVE] To discuss the pre-surgical orthodontic treatment of skeletal class II patients with gingiva smile corrected by AMSO. [METHODS] We analyzed the clinical features of 20 skeletal class II patients treated by AMSO combined with Or…

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the blood vascular distribution of supra-genicular flap and to apply the retrograded supra-genicular flap for reconstructive surgery. [METHODS] Eight fresh adult cadavers with 16 lower extremities were used for t…

The present study tested the hypothesis that LH/hCG may regulate the type 2 5 alpha-reductase and androgen receptor protein levels in skin. The skin samples obtained from women undergoing abdominal laparotomy or abdominoplasty were incubate…
