Occurrence of Breast Mucinous Carcinoma After Autologous Fat Grating for Breast Augmentation.

Unlabelled: Autologous fat grafting is commonly performed in reconstructive breast surgery as well as in aesthetic breast augmentation surgery. Nevertheless, little is known about the interaction between fat grafts and cancer. A 36-year-old patient had undergone bilateral breast augmentation with autologous fat grafting.

Breast augmentation with autologous fat injection: a report of 105 cases.

Introduction: Autologous fat transplantation has attracted great interest in breast augmentation for cosmetic purpose. In the present study, we reported our experience in fat grafting in breast in 105 cases, and some detailed procedure concerning efficacy and safety of grafting was evaluated.

Methods: Fat was harvested using 20-mL syringe attached to a 3-hole blunt cannula in a diameter not beyond 3 mm.

[Comparison of therapeutic effects of immediate implanting breast reconstruction after skin sparing mastectomy and modified radical mastectomy on breast cancer].

Objective: To compare the therapy efficiency of immediate implanting breast reconstruction after skin sparing mastectomy and modified radical mastectomy in breast cancer.

Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 530 female patients with early breast cancer operated in the department of General Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, from Jan. 2004 to Dec.

Immediate breast reconstruction with implants after skin-sparing mastectomy: a report of 96 cases.

Background: Skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) has become increasingly popular as an effective treatment for patients with early-stage breast cancer requiring mastectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of IBR using permanent gel breast implants and Becker expandable breast implants after SSM.

Methods: A review of 96 patients undergoing IBR with Beck expandable or permanent gel breast implants after SSM from July 2002 to December 2006 was performed.

[A selection of methods for immediate and delayed breast reconstruction].

Objective: To investigate the surgical methods, indications and effects of postmastectomy breast reconstruction in 67 consecutive patients.

Methods: From July 2002 to October 2005, 67 patients received postmastectomy breast reconstructions. Immediate breast reconstructions were performed using full-size implants in 38 cases, Becker expandable implants in 16 cases, unilateral pedicled transverse rectus of abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) in 2 cases.

[Expandable implants in immediate breast reconstruction].

Objective: To investigate the indications, surgical methods and esthetic results in patients undergoing immediate breast reconstruction with expandable implants.

Methods: From January 2002 to March 2006, immediate breast reconstructions were carried out with expandable implants following mastectomy in 30 breast cancer patients. Nipple-areola were preserved in 5 patients.

[Effects of hVEGF cDNA on random skin flap via a replication-deficient adenovirus vector].

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of local delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor( VEGF) transferred with adenovirus-mediated gene on the survival of ischemic random skin flap in rats.

Methods: The animals were divided into three groups randomly (n = 10) . A 2 cm x 8 cm dorsal skin flap was designed with the pedicle at the level of the iliac crest.

[Intra-uterine model of cleft lip and scarless wound healing of fetal rats].

Objective: To properly evaluate the benefits of in utero repair of cleft lip, an animal model of cleft lip was developed and the fetal scarless wound healing was observed in SD rat fetus.

Methods: Through a maternal celiotomy and hysterotomy, twenty excisional cleft was created in the upper lip of rat fetus. Another group of 20 rat fetus were given full-thickness incisional wounds in the upper lips.

Effect of adenovirus-mediated gene transfection of vascular endothelial growth factor on survival of random flaps in rats.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of local application of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) via adenovirus-mediated gene transfer on survival of full thickness flaps selected randomly in rats.

Methods: Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 480-520 g were used in this study. A dorsal flap (8 cm x 2 cm) in full thickness with the pedicle located at the level of the iliac crest was designed.
