[BACKGROUND] In our series, the gravity-assisted ipsilateral paramedian approach was shown to be safe and advantageous for the resection of parafalcine meningioma, because it does not result in contralateral brain impingement and does not r…

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the effect of the application of a microsurgical space restrictor in microsurgical simulation training. [METHODS] A microsurgical space restrictor that can restrict the operation space was designed and produced. …

The management of giant neurofibroma is a challenge for clinical surgeons. Abundant malformed vessels exist in the tumor, and life-threatening hemorrhage can occur during operation. Moreover, repairing huge defects after radical resection i…

[BACKGROUND] The need for postmastectomy breast reconstruction surgery has increased dramatically, and significant progress has been made both in implant and autologous based breast reconstruction in recent decades. In this paper, we perfor…

Thread lift boasts the advantage of minimal invasion for facial rejuvenation and has been increasingly used nowadays. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes and safety of elastic thread when it was used in the modified minim…

[INTRODUCTION] Hyaluronic acid injections is relatively safe with little risk of complications. Although herpes reactivation after the injection of hyaluronic acid is rare, it produces quite a huge pressure and panic on patients. Quite a lo…

[BACKGROUND] Switching microglial polarization from the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype represents a novel therapeutic strategy for neuropathic pain (NP). This study aims to investigate whether botulinum …

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin type A (BTA) injection is a widely-used procedure to correct cosmetic problems caused by muscular hyperactivity. "Cobblestone chin" refers to the appearance of remarkable chin creases caused by mentalis contract…

[BACKGROUND] Due to the relatively higher tendency of postsurgery scars, insufficient cartilage support, and low surgical acceptability, nasal defect repair with forehead flap in Asian patients needs further study. [OBJECTIVE] We aim to de…

Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) is a small GTPase that is well known for its sensitivity to the environmental stress of a cell or an organism. It senses the external signals which are transmitted from membrane-bound recept…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) was considered to be a new potential drug for neuropathic pain (NP) treatment. [RESULTS] In vivo, BTX-A attenuated chronic compression injury (CCI)-induced pain in rats, and reduced production of…

The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy and clinical validation of patient-specific implants (PSI) in genioplasty. Fifteen patients with chin deformities were enrolled. Virtual planning was performed with the computer-aided sur…

[BACKGROUND] Improving the posterior airway space is one of the most important functions of genioplasty. Studies have shown that the posterior airway space (PAS) can play an important role in the evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea syndro…

Inflammatory responses mediated by macrophages play a role in tissue repair. However, it is unclear whether the repair in the donor site after liposuction would have any effects on fat graft retention in the recipient site. This study is de…

[BACKGROUND] Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) was once used as an important injection for breast augmentation though it has been banned in China for more than 10 years. Secondary breast deformity after removing PAAG poses a challenging proble…

Gestational gigantomastia (GGM) is a rare complication of pregnancy. The etiology of GGM is yet to be fully established. Treatment methods for GGM include medical therapy and surgery. If medical treatment is unsuccessful, surgery may be req…

Autologous fat grafting has become increasingly popular in the field of aesthetic surgery because of its biocompatibility and low donor site morbidity. However, some fatal complications may occur following the surgery. We herein describe a …

[BACKGROUND] Currently, volunteers and/or anatomical models are used for teaching oncoplastic surgery marking. However, as the breast is an intimate organ, recruiting volunteers is difficult, and the available droopy breast models have limi…

[BACKGROUND] To assess preliminarily the effect of concentrated growth factor (CGF) for repair of nasal septal mucosal defect after rhinoplasty. [METHODS] Ten women with mucosal defects of the nasal septum were enrolled from May 2017 to Ma…

[BACKGROUND] The most challenging part of rhinoplasty is nasal tip management. For East Asian patients with a bulbous under projected nasal tip with thick skin, autologous cartilage is considered the gold-standard graft material to provide …

Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1), a member of the Rho GTPase family which plays important roles in dendritic spine morphology and plasticity, is a key regulator of cytoskeletal reorganization in dendrites and spines. Here, …

Performing a mandibular symphyseal split and genioplasty simultaneously and accurately is a technical challenge for the surgeon. The aim of this study was to validate a reversed approach for simultaneous symphyseal split and genioplasty. A …

[AIM] To investigate the value of repeat botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injections in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO). [METHODS] We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, and EBSCO databases for articles published until June 2016. St…
