[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin (BTX) is commonly used in masseter injections to enhance facial contour. However, the injection may harm the surrounding structure due to insufficient research on the anatomical structure of the masseter region.…

[BACKGROUND] Liposuction surgery is often performed with patients either in a supine or prone position. The prone position can potentially increase the intracranial pressure, with the risk of adverse outcomes. Ultrasound can be used to meas…

Inflammation is a crucial element of immune responses, with pivotal roles in host defenses against pathogens. Comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying inflammation is imperative for developing effective strategies …

Bibliometric review involves systematically analysing the academic literature on a particular topic, enabling researchers to better understand the trajectory and future trends of a specific research field. This study uses various bibliometr…

The glycocalyx, a cell surface component implicated in various diseases, has recently been recognized for its role in acute lung injury (ALI). Also known as the alveolar epithelial polysaccharide coat, it is vital for maintaining lung barri…

To investigate the clinical characteristics and voice outcomes after laryngeal microsurgery for vocal fold epidermoid cysts coexisting with sulcus vocalis. The clinical data of 115 vocal fold epidermoid cysts coexisting with sulcus vocalis…

[OBJECTIVE] Accurate prediction of hospital length of stay (LOS) following surgical management of oral cavity cancer (OCC) may be associated with improved patient counseling, hospital resource utilization and cost. The objective of this stu…

The treatment of breast cancer has seen great success in the recent decade. With longer survivorship, more attention is paid to function and aesthetics as integral treatment components. However, breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) remai…

[BACKGROUND] The evolution of lower blepharoplasty has shifted from simply removing of orbital septum fat to smoothing of the lid-cheek junction through fat repositioning. This paper adopts a novel technique to transpose and stabilize intra…

[OBJECTIVES] We aimed to operationalize a head and neck microvascular free tissue transfer (MVFTT) program at a Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital with the emphasis on initiating radiotherapy within 6 weeks of surgery for cancer patients and mi…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to analyse the 3D patterns of the mandibular and mental canals (MDC and MC) referring to the surrounding prominent surgical landmarks such as teeth and mental foramen by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). […

[BACKGROUND] Academic advancement in plastic surgery necessitates creation of opportunities for rising faculty, which are pivotal for women in their efforts to close prominent gender gaps in higher ranks. We study positions of academic pres…

The three-dimension digital image microscope system (3D-DIM) with a better ergonomic design and equipment characteristics can contribute to the achievement of good results during microsurgery. In this study, the safety and efficiency of 3D-…

[PURPOSE] Free fibula flap is the gold standard for the treatment of mandibular defects. However, the existing preoperative planning protocol is cumbersome to execute, costly to learn, and poorly collaborative with the robot-assisted cuttin…

Occipital headache, the perception of pain in the back of the head, is commonly described by patients diagnosed with migraine, tension-type headache, and occipital neuralgia. The greater and lesser occipital nerves play central role in the …

[OBJECTIVE] To observe the efficacy of unilateral subcutaneous injection of botulinum toxin A combined with finasteride and minoxidil in the treatment of androgenic alopecia. [METHODS] Thirty-seven patients with androgenic alopecia were tr…

Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) is a potent toxin, acts by cleaving synaptosome-associated-protein-25 (SNAP-25) to regulate the release of the neural transmitter and shows analgesic effect in neuropathic pain. However, the mechanisms of BoN…

[BACKGROUND] Dexmedetomidine had sedative and analgesic effects and did not produce significant respiratory depression at therapeutic doses. [AIMS] To compare the sedative and analgesic effects and safety of dexmedetomidine combined with r…

To examine the clinical application value of single-port inflatable endoscopic nipple sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using prosthesis implantation in the treatment of early breast cancer. From February 2014 to July 2019, …

To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, endoscopic surgical procedures, and therapeutic effect of blunt laryngeal trauma with arytenoid injury. We retrospectively reviewed 12 patients who suffered blunt laryngeal trauma wit…

The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is one of the commonly used flaps in the repair of head and neck soft tissue defects, especially small and medium-sized defects. The free skin grafts from abdomen are usually used to repair the RFFF donor…

Reconstructive microsurgery has been an essential aspect of orthopaedic surgery and extremity reconstruction since the introduction of the operating microscope in the mid-20 century. The reconstructive ladder ranges from simple healing by s…

[OBJECTIVE] We aimed to perform a network meta-analysis that combined both direct and indirect evidence to compare the relative efficacy of interventional therapies to treat patients with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) and to determine the tr…

Synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25) plays an important role in neuropathic pain. However, the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. Vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGluT2) is an isoform of vesicular glutamate transporters tha…

[BACKGROUND] Colorectal cancer has been proved more difficult to treat owing to potently malignant metastasis. The present study was aimed to explore the functional role of miR-142-3p in cell migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cell…
