β-Sitosterol ameliorates metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis by targeting the RAC1/mTOR/TFEB axis thus activating lipophagy-lysosomal pathway.
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), an inflammatory subtype of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), drives hepatic dysfunction and poses a significant health burden. Lipophagy dysfunction disrup…

Effectiveness and Safety of a Polyvinyl Alcohol Microsphere and Hyaluronic Acid Suspension for Chin Augmentation: A Randomized Controlled Trial and Multidisciplinary Study.
[BACKGROUND] Dermal fillers are a primary treatment for chin retrusion. However, current options have limitations in longevity and biomechanical properties. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a no…

Impact of High Food Swamp Scores on Breast Reduction Outcomes: A Multivariate Analysis of 1052 Patients.
[INTRODUCTION] "Food swamps" are areas with a high density of fast-food restaurants (unhealthy foods) relative to grocery stores (healthy foods). Patients in regions with inequitable access to healthy foods may have worsened surgical outcom…

The safety of simultaneous versus delayed contralateral breast symmetrization: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
[BACKGROUND] While unilateral breast reconstruction often requires contralateral breast symmetrization procedures, the optimal timing of the matching procedure remains unclear. While the delayed approach may be traditionally perceived as sa…

The Use of Recreational Cannabis Among Breast Reduction Patients: Characteristics, Complications, and Immediate Postoperative Analgesic Needs.
The characteristics, complications, and postoperative analgesic needs of patients with a recent or active history of recreational cannabis use have not been explored explicitly in plastic surgery. In this study, the characteristics, complic…

The Association of a Research Year With Matching Into an Integrated Plastic Surgery Residency.
[INTRODUCTION] The relationship between pursuing a research year (RY) and plastic surgery match outcomes is unclear. The present study investigated the association between a dedicated RY and the odds of matching into an integrated Plastic a…

PODXL2 maintains cellular stemness and promotes breast cancer development through the Rac1/Akt pathway.
The cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34) family, which includes CD34, podocalyxin-like protein 1 (PODXL), and PODXL2, are type-I transmembrane sialomucins and markers of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and vascular-associated tissues. CD34 …

Efficacy and Safety of Botulinum Toxin A in Axillary Bromhidrosis and Associated Histological Changes in Sweat Glands: A Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Side-by-Side Comparison Clinical Study.
[BACKGROUND] The efficacy of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) therapy in axillary hyperhidrosis has been documented; however, there are a few studies reporting the efficacy of BTX-A in treating axillary bromhidrosis. The histological changes occur…

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals gene expression signatures of breast cancer-associated endothelial cells.
Tumor endothelial cells (TEC) play an indispensible role in tumor growth and metastasis although much of the detailed mechanism still remains elusive. In this study we characterized and compared the global gene expression profiles of TECs a…

Postmastectomy Breast Reconstruction Combined With Contralateral Breast Augmentation for Taiwanese Women With Small Breasts.
[BACKGROUND] Although autogenous tissue-based breast reconstruction has been widely used in the past decade, implant-based breast reconstruction is more often used in Taiwan because Asian women are generally slender with small breasts. For …

Breast Reconstruction Using Pedicled Latissimus Dorsi Myocutaneous Flaps in Asian Patients With Small Breasts.
[BACKGROUND] The use of implants is still the most common procedure for breast reconstruction because they are easy, less painful than tissue transplants, and do not need a donor site. However, it is challenging to find a suitable implant f…

Tissue expanders in soft tissue reconstruction.
In order to reconstruct soft tissue defects, plastic and reconstructive surgeons have developed various means that range from the simplest skin grafts to the most complex transfer of microvascular free flaps, but there are no other more tha…
