Gynecomastia is a common benign condition of the male breast, frequently observed in newborns, adolescents and the elderly. Surgical excision remains one of the most effective methods for the management of patients with gynecomastia, partic…

[PURPOSE] To compare revision rates for ptosis surgery between posterior-approach and anterior-approach ptosis repair techniques. [METHODS] This is the retrospective, consecutive cohort study. All patients undergoing ptosis surgery at a hi…

In the past 20 years, nasal cavity plasty was operated by the otolaryngologists, while external rhinoplasty was usually implemented by the plastic surgeon respectively. The holistic concept is about the integrity, unity and connection of th…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgery is one the most complex surgical skills to master. The factors correlating with microsurgical performance, however, are poorly understood. Understanding these factors will aid in the training and assessment of micr…

[BACKGROUND] Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a distinctive type of T-cell lymphoma that arises around breast implants. Although rare, all cases with adequate history have involved a textured breast implant…

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy for effectiveness of type A botulinum toxin intradermal injection for facial rejuvenation. Forty female subjects were randomly divided into two groups: BoNTA group and control group. In BoNT…

. This study was aimed at analyzing the expressions of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Botulinum Toxin Type A (BoNTA) treated human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) in vitro. . We used RNA sequencing to characterize the lncRNAs and mRNAs transcri…

Combination therapies targeting multiple recovery mechanisms have the potential for additive or synergistic effects, but experimental design and analyses of multimodal therapeutic trials are challenging. To address this problem, we develope…

Botulism is a severe and potentially lethal paralytic disease caused by several botulinum neurotoxin-producing Clostridia spp. In China, the majority of the cases caused by botulism were from less-developed rural areas. Here, we designed sp…
