[BACKGROUND] The ability to predict breast implant augmentation complications can significantly inform patient management. A frailty measure, such as the modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5), is becoming an increasingly established risk fa…

[BACKGROUND] Single eyelids are common among Asians. It is not uncommon to see people with single eyelids raise their eyebrows to wide open their eyes. This results in frequent compensatory contraction of the frontalis muscle and thus leads…

The influence of varicocele and microsurgical varicocelectomy on semen quality remains unclear. Few studies have investigated the relationship between semen metabolism and the abnormalities in reproductive function caused by varicocele, how…

[OBJECTIVE] To improve the diagnosis and treatment of intracranial chondromas (ICDs) by discussing the clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics of ICDs, as well as surgical methods and treatment strategies. [METHODS] We retrospe…

[BACKGROUND] Postoperative complications (POCs) of moderate-advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) after free flap reconstruction have received little attention. We investigated the risk factors that lead to POCs and their i…

In microsurgery, it is always difficult to accurately identify the blood supply with ease, such as vascular anastomosis, digit replantation, skin avulsion reconstruction and flap transplantation. Near-infrared window I (NIR-I, 700-900 nm) i…

[OBJECTIVE] Microsurgery of andrology always brings unexpected findings. Scrotal calculi are rare and unique, which are easily confused with tumor. To understand its etiology and harm, our study retrospectively analyzed the clinical charact…

The lung is one of the most sensitive tissues to ionizing radiation, thus, radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) stays a key dose-limiting factor of thoracic radiotherapy. However, there is still little progress in the effective treatment of…

Poor blood supply can easily lead to expander extrusion and necrosis at the distal expanded flap. Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) has been previously found to improve pedicled flap blood flow perfusion, but its effects on the blood supply of expa…

[OBJECTIVE] To review the characteristics and deficiencies of various liposuction methods to provide reference for choosing more suitable liposuction in clinic and ideas for the improvement and development of liposuction equipment. [METHOD…

[BACKGROUND] Liposuction has become one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in China. However, few studies have discussed infectious shock caused by C. perfringens as one of the causes of death after liposuction. [CASE PRESENTATION] A 2…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reduction is a generally well-tolerated procedure with high patient satisfaction and low risk of surgical site infection and other complications. Although age, obesity, and comorbidities have historically been used as su…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections are popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedures owing to their convenience, efficiency, and durability; however, adverse reactions often occur. [MATERIALS AND METHO…

[BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE] Late local recurrences and second primary breast cancers are increasingly common. Proton beam therapy (PBT) reirradiation (reRT) may allow safer delivery of a second definitive radiotherapy (RT) course. We analyzed …

[PURPOSE] To evaluate the risk factors for, and clinical outcomes of, free lateral great toe flaps for the reconstruction of thumb pulp defects. [METHODS] Between January 2009 and July 2017, 31 patients with thumb pulp defects were treated…

In early pregnancy, fetal skin wounds can heal quickly and undergo a transition period from scarless healing to scar formation. The aim of the present study was to identify potential biomarkers associated with scarless repair of cleft lips,…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgery training has become an important part of ophthalmology teaching and one of the main topics of examination. Accurate and effective evaluation of microsurgery skills is vital for the training and teaching of resident…

The distal end of parotid duct is often inevitably resected en-block with the buccal mucosa cancer to obtain safety margin and prevent local recurrence. Ligation of duct frequently causes complications like cheek swelling, fistula and gland…

[OBJECTIVE] To analyze the effects of botulinum toxin type A (BtA) in the treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease and depression. [METHOD] 89 patients with Parkinson's disease and depression were assigned into control group and obse…

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is critical to maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. However, the effects of microgravity (MG) on the BBB remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the influence of simulated MG (SMG) on t…

Reconstruction of composite oral and maxillofacial defects using free flaps is challenging. The key to such delicate reconstruction lies in the evaluation of the defect. However, few reports have described the clinical classification of the…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging cosmetic surgical operations. The procedure has been known to precipitate higher levels of edema and ecchymosis in the periorbital and paranasal regions. The literature recommends the …

Tendinopathy is a common disease, which is characterized by pain, swelling, and dysfunction. At the late stage of tendinopathy, pathological changes may occur, such as tendon calcification. Previously, we have shown that tendon stem/progen…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BI-ALCL) is a rare T-cell lymphoma that arises around breast implants. Most patients manifest with periprosthetic effusion, whereas a subset of patients develops a tumor mass or lymp…

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is typically treated pharmacologically with anticonvulsants, but these can be ineffective, or can lose their effectiveness over time. In recent years, botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A), when injected subcutaneously a…

Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that contributes to the initiation and development of many solid tumors, including osteosarcoma (OS). In this study, we showed that MALAT1 was …

Due to economic development and lifestyle changes, the incidence of non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has gradually increased in recent years. However, the pathogenesis of NAFLD is not yet fully understood. To identify candidate gen…

[OBJECTIVE] To study the effect of therapeutic exercise on knee osteoarthritis after injection of botulinum toxin type A, hyaluronate or saline. [METHODS] Sixty participants with knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to 3 groups: inje…

Best evidence has no bearing on quality of life if it is not implemented in clinical practice. The authors introduce knowledge translation as a theoretical framework for closing the gap between evidence and practice in plastic surgery. The …
