[BACKGROUND] Post-stroke central facial paralysis (CFP) is a common post-stroke complication that affects the quality of life. The current conventional treatment has limitations in efficacy and safety. As a traditional medical therapy, acup…

This study aims to evaluate the nasal structural and electrophysiological features of patients with postoperative olfactory dysfunction following aesthetic rhinoplasty. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features of 30 outpatients (f…

Skin transplantation is a traditional and well-established method of repairing skin loss, especially deep second-degree postburn wounds. Complications often happen amid the healing process, including necrosis and skin contracture, which has…

[AIMS] The aims of this article are to provide an overview of the technique of phalloplasty by radial forearm free flap in the context of female-to-male gender reassignment surgery, with a specific focus on surgical technical details and th…

[BACKGROUND] Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) surgery is an effective treatment for lymphedema. Accurate evaluation and localization of the superficial lymphatic vessels before the operation is crucial for the success of the operation. Co…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections have been found to improve pain symptoms of isolated cervical dystonia (CD). In addition to muscle relaxation at the peripheral level, few studies suggest that BoNT has effects on the central b…

[BACKGROUND] Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most serious complications of diabetes. Rhein has been reported to be effective in treating DN. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of rhein in the treatment of DN. [M…

[INTRODUCTION] The performance of a prosthetic breast augmentation through the axilla always makes the surgeon fear the possibility of damage to the breast lymphatic network. Indocyanine green is a fluorescent marker allowing the analysis o…

Dedicator of cytokinesis protein 2 (DOCK2) is a member of the cytoskeletal dynamics protein family, and is ubiquitously expressed in hematopoietic cells according to previous studies. This paper was intended to explore the underlying mechan…

Treatment of traumatic loss of bone and tissue substance in the foot necessitates special consideration of the anatomy and physiology of the segment. The causes of foot trauma are multiple and in many cases violent, leading to progressive t…

Complex forearm defects with significant damage to, or loss of skin, tendon, muscle, bone and neurovascular structures represent a great challenge for surgeons. The management of such injuries, whether a result of trauma or tumor resection,…

Cutaneous substance loss in the leg is frequent; more often than not, it is trauma-related. It calls for complex management and necessitates the application of all current reconstruction techniques, particularly microsurgery. As regards tre…

Advances in microsurgery together with improvements in reconstructive surgical techniques over recent decades have enlarged the scope of available techniques for mutilated hand reconstruction, shifting the reconstructive paradigm from resto…

[BACKGROUND] Horizontal neck wrinkles develop as a result of the aging process. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) gel, which is rich in extracellular matrix and functional cells, can be produced by a series of simple mechanical processes, inc…

Radiation and microgravity are undoubtedly two major factors in space environment that pose a health threat to astronauts. However, the mechanistic study of their interactive biological effects is lacking. In this study, human lung bronchia…

[BACKGROUND] Physical therapy (PT) for cervical dystonia is not well studied, and the underlying physiological effects are not known. [METHODS] We enrolled 26 subjects comprising of 16 cervical dystonia and 10 healthy controls for normativ…

Radioresistance is the major obstacle in the radiotherapy of the malignant melanoma. Thus, it is of importance to increase the radiosensitivity of melanoma cells. In the present study, the radioresistant melanoma cell line OCM-1 with induci…

Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) occurs most often in radiotherapy of lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and other thoracic cancers. The occurrence of RILI is a complex process that includes a variety of cellular and molecular interactions…

Our recent study showed that quiescent G0 cells are more resistant to ionizing radiation than G1 cells; however, the underlying mechanism for this increased radioresistance is unknown. Based on the relatively lower DNA damage induced in G0 …

[BACKGROUND] Composite breast augmentation with fat grafting and an implant has become very popular in the past 5 years. This achieves the core volume projection of an implant complemented by the natural appearance and feel of fat. However,…

Microglia are the resident immune cells and the professional phagocytic cells of the CNS, showing a multitude of cellular responses after activation. However, how microglial phagocytosis changes and whether it is involved in radiation-induc…

Patients suffering from body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) are preoccupied with an imagined or minor defect in appearance that causes significant distress and impairment in social and occupational functioning. Despite a rate of up to 15% of BDD…

[BACKGROUND] Primary anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) occurring in women with breast implants is very rare. It is usually described as tumor cells infiltrating the periprosthetic capsule. These are most often revealed by a periprosthet…
