Micromanipulation robots hold immense promise for biomedical applications, yet they remain fundamentally limited by three persistent challenges: cross-scale target heterogeneity, spatially constrained workspaces, and integrated multimodal o…

[BACKGROUND] The application of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) outcomes of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) to actual patient care faces a significant hurdle due to research waste (RW). This includes the results of RCTs that have not be…

[BACKGROUND] Botulism is a rare and possibly life-threatening neuroparalytic syndrome. Recent large-scale outbreaks of iatrogenic botulism, primarily linked to cosmetic injections, have garnered significant attention. [OBJECTIVES] This stu…

Aberrant osteoclast activation in subchondral bone is a hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA). This study identifies calreticulin (CALR), a key immunogenic cell death (ICD) marker, as a critical regulator of osteoclast differentiation and OA path…

Augmented mammoplasty is a popular cosmetic procedure performed worldwide. Here, we present our treatment experiences with a specific case of complications after a hyaluronic acid injection for breast augmentation to provide constructive ad…

[BACKGROUND] TiLOOP bra has been used for over 15 years, however, evidence regarding its safety in implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) for patients with breast cancer after mastectomy is still limited. We performed this meta-analysis…

[BACKGROUND] Spinal astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation is an important mechanism for the maintenance of chronic inflammatory pain. Previous studies have investigated that Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) is closely relate…

Activation of the maternal immune system leads to a downstream cascade of proinflammatory events that culminate in the activation of spontaneous uterine contractions, which is associated with preterm birth. Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin su…

[BACKGROUND] RelabotulinumtoxinA (RelaBoNT-A, Galderma, Uppsala, Sweden) is an innovative, ready-to-use liquid botulinum toxin A, produced with PEARL (precipitation-free extraction and activity-preserving refined liquid) manufacturing techn…

The most important factor that distinguishes a youthful appearance from an aged one is the shape of the lower face. This study aimed to examine the outcome of volume reduction of the lower face using laser-assisted liposuction (SmartLipo) a…

[SUMMARY] Adequate nasal tip projection remains a challenge in aesthetic rhinoplasty for East Asians. Various surgical techniques have been developed to reshape the nasal tip using auricular cartilage. In this article, we introduce the new …

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-transfected adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADSC) transplantation in the injured vocal folds (VFs) of canines. A lentiviral vector encoding HGF was successfull…

[BACKGROUND] Subpectoral implant-based breast reconstruction following mastectomy commonly severs the inferior border of the pectoralis major muscle for better projection of the lower pole. This can affect a patient's postoperative motor fu…

[IN BRIEF] Various etiologies can cause uterine myometrium contraction, which leads to preterm birth. This study demonstrates a new functional relationship between the Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1) and uterine myometrium…

Micromotors require stable and precise motion control for complex tasks such as microsurgery, drug delivery , or environmental monitoring . However, a continuous control signal is needed for micromotors to achieve motion control during thei…

[BACKGROUND] The improvement of nasolabial folds by either lateral superficial musculoaponeurotic system rhytidectomy or minimal access cranial suspension lift alone is commonly performed, but patient satisfaction is often limited in East A…

[BACKGROUND] Large involuted infantile hemangioma (IH) can cause facial disfigurement and functional impairment and constitute a major concern to children and parents. Liposuction for large involuted IH has been reported in some case report…

[BACKGROUND] The subperiosteum, supraperiosteum, and intrasuborbicularis oculi fat have been used as planes of dissection for orbital fat transposition in transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty. The steep learning curve due to the anatomic …

Autologous costal cartilage graft is optimal for augmentation rhinoplasty but with complications including markedly visible graft margins and dorsal contour irregularities. Therefore, the authors introduced the diced costal cartilage graft …

[BACKGROUND] Currently, botulinum toxin A (BTA) is mainly used in the treatment of muscle spasms and in cosmetic procedures, and its cosmetic indications are expanding rapidly. There have been sporadic reports focused on the preoperative us…

[BACKGROUND] Assessment scales are valuable tools in aesthetic clinical research and practice. [OBJECTIVE] To validate 3 photonumeric scales covering temple volume deficit, infraorbital hollows, and chin retrusion. [MATERIALS AND METHODS]…

[BACKGROUND] Inconsistent data have been reported for the effectiveness of intramuscular botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) in patients with limb spasticity after stroke. This meta-analysis of available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed …

The increase in the pharyngeal airway space after mandibular advancement has not been well explained, and in this study we aimed to show whether there is a correlation in the increase of pharyngeal airway space as a consequence of the mandi…

[BACKGROUND] Techniques based on three planes of implant placement, including the subglandular (SG), subpectoral (SP), and subfascial (SF) planes are used for breast augmentation. The placement that offers the greatest balance of risks and …

[BACKGROUND] Prominent tear trough deformity and midfacial depression are the first priority in periorbital rejuvenation. To achieve harmonious lower eyelid improvement, we developed a novel approach to reposition infraorbital fat using int…

[BACKGROUND] Early intervention might improve the quality of surgical scars. Botulinum toxin type A has been shown to improve surgical scars in the past decade. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin type A …
