[BACKGROUND] A clear understanding of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) perfusion during extended SMAS rhytidectomy is helpful for surgical planning and for elucidating the structural characteristics of the SMAS. [OBJECTIVES…

Retinal surgery is one of the most delicate and complex operations, which is close to or even beyond the physiological limitation of the human hand. Robots have demonstrated the ability to filter hand tremors and motion scaling which has a …

[BACKGROUND] Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with autologous tissue reconstruction offers excellent cosmetic outcomes but can be complicated by skin necrosis. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for skin necrosis after NSM with…

[OBJECTIVE] This study aims to investigate the factors that influence the occurrence of complications following deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction, and to determine whether these complications have an impa…

[BACKGROUND] The migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is critical for the development of atherosclerosis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not completely understood. Here, we detected FAM49B (family with sequenc…

[BACKGROUND] Radio-frequency assisted liposuction (RFAL) is a minimally invasive procedure that harnesses the subcutaneous fat and fascia for thermal skin tightening and subcutaneous tissue remodeling. It has gradually become an ancillary p…

In robot-assisted microsurgery (RAMS), surgeons often face the challenge of operating with minimal feedback, particularly lacking in haptic feedback. However, most traditional desktop haptic devices have restricted operational areas and lim…

[BACKGROUND] Anterolateral thigh adipofascial free flap transfer is a frequently used method to reconstruct facial symmetry and restore facial soft-tissue contour in patients with Parry-Romberg syndrome, but long-term prognosis and outcomes…

Rabies virus (RABV) is highly lethal and triggers severe neurological symptoms. The neuropathogenic mechanism remains poorly understood. Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) is a Rho-GTPase that is involved in actin remodeling …

[BACKGROUND] Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) impairs hippocampal microglial efferocytosis, causing cognitive deficits. Previous research found that milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 protein (MFGE8) stimulates efferocytosis, …

(1) Background: With the increasing aesthetic pursuit of facial features, the clinical use of Botulinum Toxin Type A (BoNT-A) injections for masseter hypertrophy has been on the rise. However, due to variations in masseter muscle structure …

Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a fibrous proliferative disorder that occurs in the dermis after skin injury. Studies have confirmed that Botulinum toxin type A (BTA) is effective in scar prevention and treatment. However, the specific mechanism …

[SUMMARY] As the most prominent feature of the lower face, the chin is crucial to human facial morphology, and plays a large role in contributing to facial attractiveness and harmony. Although an increasing number of genioplasty procedures …

[INTRODUCTION] This study aimed to evaluate the influence of field of view (FOV) and voxel size on the accuracy of dynamic navigation (DN)-assisted endodontic microsurgery (EMS). [METHODS] Nine sets of maxillary and mandibular 3-dimensiona…

[BACKGROUND] Currently, there is a lack of intuitive analysis regarding the development trend, main authors, and research hotspots in the field of cerebral arteriovenous malformation treatment, as well as a detailed elaboration of possible …

[BACKGROUND] In east Asia, lower face contouring surgeries including reduction mandibuloplasty and genioplasty are the most popular aesthetic craniofacial surgeries. Conventional selection of surgical strategies mainly relied on the visual …

[BACKGROUND] There is no consensus on the timing of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) in relation to the exchange procedure in breast cancer patients undergoing the immediate two-stage prosthetic breast reconstruction. This meta-analysis i…

The previously approved botulinum toxin and nowadays promising calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibody have shown efficacy for preventing chronic migraine (CM). However, there is no direct evidence for their relative effe…

[RATIONALE] Botulinum toxin type A (BTA) is one of the most widely used injectable agents in cosmetic surgery. Corona virus disease 2019 (Covid-19) infection and vaccination, which can induce specific and nonspecific activation of the immun…

[BACKGROUND] The awareness and treatment of lacrimal gland prolapse (LGP) have been primarily improved with a further understanding of lateral eyelid bulging over the decades. However, for Asian single-eyelid females with LGP, a tailor-made…

Auricular cartilage is a common autologous graft material for rhinoplasty. Even though surgical techniques for the harvest of cartilage graft are well established, the management of the postoperative dressing fixation is still limited. Ther…

[BACKGROUND] Mandibular angle ostectomy is a common plastic surgery for facial contouring in East Asians. However, rarely we could find reports on differences between East Asian males and females undergoing this surgery. [OBJECTIVE] To des…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin type A-induced "chemoimmobilization" has long been utilized for improved scar quality and wound healing; however, current evidence is limited to small studies, and evidence-based information is inadequate to mak…

[BACKGROUND] In patients with mild superior sulcus deformity, pseudoptosis, or multiple eyelid folds, several bulky fibers can be found anterior to the orbital septum. These fibers, called preorbital septum fibers, may constrict protrusion …

There are currently no functional neuromuscular junction (hNMJ) systems composed of human cells that could be used for drug evaluations or toxicity testing in vitro. These systems are needed to evaluate NMJs for diseases such as amyotrophic…

[BACKGROUND] Mandibular angle ostectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures for facial contouring in Asian women. However, some patients complain about mandibular angle hypertrophy recurrence after surgery. The present study evalu…

[BACKGROUND] Photography plays a pivotal role in patient education, photo-documentation, preoperative planning and postsurgical evaluation in plastic surgeries. It has long been serving as a bridge that facilitated communication not only be…
