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…

The rise in the incidence of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in China has increased the inclination toward hair transplantation. To calculate the optimum density of hair follicles needed covering both the hairless area and the safe donor area (…

[BACKGROUND] Dry eye symptoms as a complication of double-eyelid blepharoplasty are controversial. This article evaluates tear film dynamics and changes in dry eye symptoms after cosmetic double-eyelid blepharoplasty in young Asian female. …

[RATIONALE] Botulinum toxin injection is a widely used procedure for the treatment of the dysfunction of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES). Although the injection can be guided by ultrasound, electromyography, or computed tomography, suc…

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most potent toxins known. So far, eight serotypes have been identified that all act as zinc-dependent endopeptidases targeting SNARE proteins and inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters. Recently, t…

[BACKGROUND]  The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection versus thoracic sympathectomy for idiopathic palmar hyperhidrosis. [METHODS]  Fifty-one patients with idiopathic palmar …

[BACKGROUND] The single-stage reconstruction of large facial defects remains a conundrum due to the balance between function and aesthetics after skin cancer radical resection. [OBJECTIVE] The goal of this study was to explore a novel surg…

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), produced by various Clostridium strains, are a family of potent bacterial toxins and potential bioterrorism agents. Here we report that an Enterococcus faecium strain isolated from cow feces carries a BoNT-lik…

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are a family of highly dangerous bacterial toxins, with seven major serotypes (BoNT/A-G). Members of BoNTs, BoNT/A1 and BoNT/B1, have been utilized to treat an increasing number of medical conditions. The clini…
