Radiologic Analysis of Malar Arch Movement in Reduction Malarplasty Without Bony Resection.

Background: Reduction malarplasty has been popular among Asians with a wide facial width. In general, malar setback after bony resection is regarded as the standard objective of reduction malarplasty. However, unnecessary bony resection may lead to various postoperative complications.

Regeneration of full-thickness skin defects by differentiated adipose-derived stem cells into fibroblast-like cells by fibroblast-conditioned medium.

Background: Fibroblasts are ubiquitous cells in the human body and are absolutely necessary for wound healing such as for injured skin. This role of fibroblasts was the reason why we aimed to differentiate human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) into fibroblasts and to test their wound healing potency. Recent reports on hADSC-derived conditioned medium have indicated stimulation of collagen synthesis as well as migration of dermal fibroblasts in wound sites with these cells.

Outcomes of surgical management of xanthelasma palpebrarum.

Background: Xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) is a benign disorder manifesting as yellowish cholesterol-laden plaques on the eyelids. This paper presents the outcomes in patients with XP who have undergone surgical excision as the main modality of treatment.

Methods: A retrospective review of patients who received surgery for xanthelasma palpebrarum from March 2007 to March 2011 was conducted.
