Thrombocytopenia is caused by various diseases and increases the risk of bleeding. Radical surgery with vascularized free-flap reconstruction is the preferred approach for advanced oral cancer; however, its safety and feasibility in patient…

[BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS] Comparison of the therapeutic effects of endoscopic botulinum toxin (BTX) injection and semaglutide (SME) injection in treatment of patients with obesity and weight regain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (L…

Postmastectomy breast reconstruction is limited by radiotherapy-induced tissue damage, as silicone implants are prone to capsular contracture, and autologous adipose grafts are limited by resorption and necrosis. In this study, two biomater…

This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for low postoperative blood pressure and construct a machine learning (ML) model based on these features for real-time prediction in patients with oral cancer following reconstruction surgery…

[OBJECTIVE] This study examines the effects of preoperative oral carbohydrates on the perioperative period of Fibula Free Flap surgery in oral cancer patients, aiming to enhance postoperative recovery. [METHODS] The study involved 89 patie…

Thread lifting has become widely adopted worldwide as a nonsurgical facial rejuvenation technique due to its simplicity and short recovery period. However, despite its generally favorable safety profile, various complications may occur, wit…

[OBJECTIVE] To explore the clinical efficacy of small sub-eyebrow incision in severing the corrugator supercilii muscle combined with autologous block fat transplantation for treating severe frown lines. [METHODOLOGY] Sixteen patients with…

Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha [PIK3CA, encoding PI3Kalpha (also known as p110α)] is one of the most commonly aberrated genes in human cancers. In serous ovarian cancer, PIK3CA amplification is highly…

[BACKGROUND] Some facial morphological changes may occur in some patients after botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injection for the treatment of masseteric hypertrophy. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological changes that occurre…

The masseter and temporal muscles are primary jaw muscles vital for chewing and speaking, which work in tandem for effective mastication. On the basis of the reported studies that masseter botulinum toxin A injection causes masseter muscle …

[BACKGROUND] Patients with cervical dystonia (CD) commonly exhibit varying degrees of impaired balance, abnormal gait, and increased fear of falling. However, Botulinum toxin-the standard of care-does not substantially improve balance or ga…

[BACKGROUND] A high and wide forehead is a common congenital facial characteristic among East Asian women, often resulting in an imbalanced mid-upper facial proportion, diminished three-dimensional contour, and reduced femininity. Although …

Oral and craniomaxillofacial bone deformities necessitate treatment through osteotomy. Robot-assisted osteotomy appears promising in oral and craniomaxillofacial surgery, but it lacks sufficient intelligence and comprehensive integration of…

[BACKGROUND] Face lift surgery can improve facial sagging and reestablish a youthful relationship between the soft tissues and the underlying skeleton. The early manifestations of aging in the periorbital region include sagging of the later…

Acute renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) poses significant challenges in clinical management, necessitating the exploration of novel therapeutic strategies. This study investigates the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanisms of…

[BACKGROUND] The aim of the study was to demonstrate the therapeutic outcomes after a family strategy for nasoalveolar molding (Family-NAM) in infants with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate. [METHODS] Forty patients with unilateral …

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fascia has been widely applied in rhinoplasty, yet prospective data on the supramastoid donor site remain scarce. This region provides a dense, pliable fascial layer with concealed scarring, potentially suitable for …

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is attributed to an exaggerated fibrosis response within the capsule and is partly associated with bacterial contamination in situ. However, the cellular mechanisms that initiate this response are unclear. …

[BACKGROUND] Breast cancer surgeries involving MS-TRAM/DIEP breast reconstruction has traditionally been collaborative efforts between breast surgeons and plastic surgeons. However, in our institution, this procedure is performed by dual-tr…

Microgrippers, a branch of micro/nanorobots, refer to motile miniaturized machines that are of a size in the range of several to hundreds of micrometers. Compared with tethered grippers or other microscopic diagnostic and surgical equipment…

The present study aimed to investigate outcomes following open surgery for extensive skull base ORN. Open surgery through a personalized sequential approach was employed to deal with five cases of extensive skull base ORN. Two patients with…

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the association between chronic headache outcome and aneurysmal wall enhancement (AWE) on high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) who underwent micros…

[OBJECTIVE] Severe limb amputation trauma often results in bone and soft tissue defects after debridement. Traditional replantation aims to save the limb by shortening the ischemic period and using autologous transplantation for repair, but…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of this study was to further guide the diagnosis and treatment programs for clinical facial contouring with injectable fillers by studying the facial contour parameters and proportion preferences consistent with Asian ae…

Spasmodic torticollis (ST) is a focal dystonia that affects adults, causing limited muscle control and impacting daily activities and quality of life. The etiology and curative methods for ST remain unclear. Botulinum toxin is widely used a…

[INTRODUCTION] Recent advancements in androgenetic alopecia (AGA) treatment have highlighted the efficacy of botulinum toxin (BoNT). However, inconsistencies in injection sites and depths warrant attention. It remains unclear which injectio…

Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) has emerged as a key regulator in the treatment of cancer metastasis because of its involvement in the formation of cell plate pseudopods and effects on cell migration. In this study, we fou…
