The Effects of Botulinum Toxin Injections on Spasticity and Motor Performance in Chronic Stroke with Spastic Hemiplegia.
Spastic muscles are weak muscles. It is known that muscle weakness is linked to poor motor performance. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections are considered as the first-line treatment for focal spasticity. The purpose of this study was to…

The effects of augmentation cystoplasty and botulinum toxin injection on patient-reported bladder function and quality of life among individuals with spinal cord injury performing clean intermittent catheterization.
[AIMS] Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is recommended after spinal cord injury (SCI) because it has the least complications, however, CIC has a high discontinuation rate. We hypothesized that bladder botulinum toxin injection or au…

Three-dimensional hydrogel is suitable for targeted investigation of amoeboid migration of glioma cells.
Glioblastoma (GBM) invasion and migration are key biological behaviors leading to refractoriness to current therapies and infiltration into the non‑tumor brain parenchyma. GBM cell migration is strongly dependent on tumor architecture in vi…

Botulinum toxin type A and gabapentin attenuate postoperative pain and NK1 receptor internalization in rats.
Treatment of postoperative pain remains a challenge in clinic. Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) and gabapentin regulate the release of neurotransmitters from primary afferent neurons, but their effects of on postoperative pain are not clear.…

GSK3-activated STAT5 regulates expression of SFRPs to modulate adipogenesis.
Adipogenesis is a tightly regulated cellular process and is closely associated with obesity and its associated metabolic disorders, such as diabetes. Multiple transcription factors and signaling pathways are involved in the regulation of ad…

Basic and Clinical Evidence of an Alternative Method to Produce Vivo Nanofat.
[BACKGROUND] Fat grafting technologies are popularly used in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Due to its size limitation, it is hard to directly inject untreated fat tissue into the dermal layer. Nanofat, which was introduced by Tonnard,…

Advancing and Lengthening Genioplasty in Contouring of the Receding and Short Chin.
[BACKGROUND] In East Asia, receding and short chin are common complaints of patients who do not have satisfied lower face. In most former studies, receding and short chin are considered and treated separately. But during the clinical work, …

Immediate liposuction could shorten the time for endoscopic axillary lymphadenectomy in breast cancer patients.
[BACKGROUND] Endoscopic axillary lymphadenectomy (EALND) was introduced to clinical work to reduce side effects of conventional axillary lymphadenectomy, while the lipolysis and liposuction of EALND made the process consume more time. The a…

Spatial characterization of innervation zones under electrically elicited M-wave.
The three dimensional (3D) innervation zone (IZ) imaging approach (3DIZI) has been developed in our group to localize the IZ of a particular motor unit (MU) from its motor unit action potentials decomposed from high-density surface electrom…
