The Modified Rectangle Flap Epicanthoplasty: A Novel and Individualized Design.

Background: The epicanthal fold is ordinary in the eyelids of Asians, and the aesthetic appearance of eyelid surgery could be reduced and undermined; thus, medial epicanthoplasty is commonly performed to eliminate the effect of the epicanthal fold with less scarring. At present, there are a lot of techniques that have been described for the treatment of epicanthal fold. The potential problems, however, such as visible scar or under correction in the medial canthus area are challenges to surgeons.

Transfection of adenovirus-mediated mircoRNA-126 gene into infant hemangioma endothelial cells .

To investigate the effects of microRNA-126 (miR-126) overexpression on hemangioma endothelial cells (HemECs). An adenoviral vector containing the miR-126 gene was constructed. HemECs were passaged and expanded and adenovirus-mediated green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene was transfected .
