A comparative analysis of secondary unilateral and bilateral cleft lip nasal deformities: From anatomical characteristics to repair strategies.
Secondary cleft lip nasal deformity presents a persistent challenge in reconstructive surgery, with fundamental differences existing between unilateral and bilateral presentations that dictate distinct management approaches. This systematic…

Three-dimensional morphometric analysis of alar asymmetry in unilateral secondary cleft nasal deformity: implications for non-cleft alar reduction in surgical planning.
Preoperative surgical planning for alar reduction remains challenging due to the lack of objective references in traditional measurements. Therefore, this study aimed to objectively quantify preoperative bilateral alar symmetry using 3D bes…

Beyond Hounsfield Units: A Comparative Study of Semiquantitative Morphological Features for Differentiating Silicone from Autologous Costal Cartilage Nasal Implants on CT Imaging.
[INTRODUCTION] Identifying the type of existing nasal implant is crucial for preoperative planning of revision rhinoplasty in patients with secondary cleft lip nasal deformity. However, patients often lack accurate information. Although Hou…

Botox-A improve the thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) orbital fibroblast activation through inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad signaling.
The activation of orbital fibroblasts can result in fibrosis, finally contributing to thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) progression. Although the effect of BTX-A on the treatment of TAO-related strabismus and upper eyelid retraction h…

Early postoperative outcomes in implant, pedicled, and free flap reconstruction for breast cancer: an analysis of 23,834 patients from the ACS-NSQIP datasets.
[INTRODUCTION] Many patients seek breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Debate exists regarding the best reconstructive option. The authors evaluate outcomes comparing implant, free flap, and pedicled flap reconstruction. [METHODS] P…

Profiling gene expression reveals insights into pulmonary response to aerosolized botulinum toxin type A exposure in mice.
Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) is traditional medicine and well known for its therapeutic use as an anesthetic and in cosmetic applications that work through the inhibition of acetylcholine exocytosis in neuronal cells. BoNT/A also ha…

SNAP-25 Contributes to Neuropathic Pain by Regulation of VGLuT2 Expression in Rats.
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…
