[OBJECTIVE] To assess the improvement of nasal morphologies and ventilation after septal cartilage graft and septoplasty of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). [DESIGN] Retrospective case-control study. [SETTING] Tertiar…

[INTRODUCTION] Resulting mostly from major injury or infection, severe acute wounds are often accompanied by septic shock or multiple organ failure and associated with high disability and mortality rates. In managing Chinese patients with w…

[INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS] Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the submucosal and muscular layers of the bladder. So far, there is no effective and targeted treatment strategy fo…

It has previously been demonstrated that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate‑oxidase (NADPH) oxidase 4 (Nox4), is important in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN), however the exact mechanisms remain to be elucidated. The …

Frizzled 6 (FZD6) encodes an integral membrane protein that functions in multiple signal transduction pathways, for example, as a receptor in Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathway for polarized cell migration and organ morphogene…

Adipose tissue engraftment has become a well-established therapy in plastic and reconstructive surgery used to restore age-related or injury-related soft tissue loss. However, the unpredictable absorption rates limit its further application…

The purpose of this control study was to assess the accuracy and clinical validation of a novel genioplasty template system. Eighty-eight patients were enrolled and divided into 2 groups: experimental group (using genioplasty templates) and…

Germline mutations in BRCA genes have been shown to predispose patients to breast cancer. Studies have suggested that p53 alteration is a necessary step in tumorigenesis in BRCA carriers. Our previous study showed p53 alteration in morpholo…

[BACKGROUND AND AIMS] The use of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for management of widespread superficial esophageal squamous carcinoma is closely associated with esophageal stenosis. We investigated the efficacy and feasibility of e…

Contamination of grains and other crops by aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a highly toxic aflatoxin produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, poses a serious threat to human health and is an important food safety issue. In this study…

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a new chin template system for a two-piece narrowing genioplasty. Nine patients with wide chin deformities were enrolled. Surgeries were planned with the computer-aided surgical simulati…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the surgical corrective results of maxillary hypoplasia in patients with cleft lip and palate withtranspalatal modified Le Fort I osteotomy. [METHODS] In the study, 11 patients (4 women, and 7 men) with maxillary hy…

p53 alterations have been identified in approximately 23% of breast carcinomas, particularly in hormone receptor-negative high-grade carcinomas. It is considered to be an early event in breast carcinogenesis. Nevertheless, the putative prec…

[AIM] To explore the efficacy of tear trough deformity treatment with the use of hyaluronic acid gel or autologous fat for soft tissue augmentation and fat repositioning via arcus marginalis release. [MATERIAL AND METHODS] Seventy-eight pa…

p120-catenin (p120), an E-cadherin regulator, has been implicated as central to a series of genetic and epigenetic changes that ultimately lead to tumor progression and metastasis. Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1)and p21-ac…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the predictive accuracy of the SurgiCase CMF software in surgical simulation and prediction for mandibular asymmetry with 3-dimensional simulation and measurement. [METHODS] CBCT data of 27 patients with mandibular …

[OBJECTIVE] To describe the morphological changes of velopharyngeal components in patients with cleft lip and palate after Le Fort I osteotomy with maxillary advancement and to clarify whether the velopharyngeal morphological changes are re…

[PURPOSE] The purpose of this study was to evaluate a modified method of aligning the proximal segment after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSO) in the treatment of patients with facial asymmetry. [PATIENTS AND METHODS] Eleven …

A surgical ciliated cyst is a locally aggressive lesion that usually develops as a delayed complication many years after the initial operation, and we know of few reports of its development after orthognathic surgery. We report a case of 2 …

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the feasibility of immediate breast and nipple-areola reconstruction after skin-sparing mastectomy. [METHODS] 24 patients who received skin-sparing mastectomy underwent immediate breast reconstruction with or wit…

In this case report, we introduce the combined use of multiloop edgewise archwire and microimplant anchorage to treat an 18-year-old Chinese woman who had a severe anterior open bite and a retrusive chin. Her diagnosis included a skeletal C…

[BACKGROUND] Twist 1 is highly expressed in adipose tissue and has been associated with obesity and related disorders. However, the molecular function of Twist 1 in adipose tissue is unclear. Twist 1 has been implicated in cell lineage dete…

[OBJECTIVE] To assess the application of computer assisted surgical navigation in condylectomy via intraoral approach and its clinical results. [METHODS] Eight patients aged from 16 to 56 were treated by condylectomy via intraoral approach…

The most common conventional approaches for the resection of benign tumours in the accessory parotid gland are a standard parotidectomy incision, a modified standard parotidectomy incision, or a face-lift incision. The resulting scars may s…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the surgical corrective results of severe maxillary hypoplasia in cleft lip and palate patients using distraction osteogenesis (DO) and orthognathic surgical procedures. [METHODS] High step Le Fort I osteotomy was p…
