Assessment of Blood Volume in Liposuction Fluids Using Colorimetry.

Objective: The possibility of using a color contrast method to evaluate blood loss during liposuction was assessed. A color chart of blood-lipid content associated with different blood volumes was developed.

Methods: Three color cards with different concentrations of blood were developed based on clinical parameters.

The Anatomy Study of Temporal Region based on Ultrasound Investigation: A Spatial Structure Study.

Background: With the growing popularity of rejuvenation, people are giving more concerns on their temporal depression which makes them look older and wishing to improve it by injection. The complex structure of the temporal region leads to a higher risk of failed injection. The temporal region is well understood based on cadaver anatomy, but few studies have described its spatial structure.

Progressive disfiguring facial masses with pupillary axis obstruction from Morbihan syndrome: A case report.

Background: Morbihan syndrome is a rare illness, which presents with recurrent pitting edema on the upper two thirds of the face causing facial contour deformities, and Morbihan syndrome obstructing the pupillary axis with ptosis was seldomly reported.

Case Summary: A 59-year-old woman presented with a 15-year history of facial swelling that progressively invaded bilaterally from the inner canthus and eyelids outwards. Imaging examination indicated that the bilateral periorbital and the left temporal soft tissues had swelling without cranium invasion.

MicroRNA-153-3p suppress cell proliferation and invasion by targeting SNAI1 in melanoma.

Malignant melanoma is one of the most common malignancies of the skin cancer and increasing evidences revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) exert significant effects in melanoma. In the present study, the underlying function of microRNA-153-3p (miR-153-3p) in melanoma was investigated from different levels, including cell level, protein level and gene level. Our results showed that expression of miR-153-3p was lower in melanoma tissues and melanoma cells compared with the para-tumor tissue and normal melanocytes.

A de novo 1.38 Mb duplication of 1q31.1 in a boy with hemifacial microsomia, anophthalmia, anotia, macrostomia, and cleft lip and palate.

We reported a 2-year-old boy with developmental delay, mild mental retardation, and severe craniofacial malformation, including facial asymmetry with hypoplasia of the left zygoma, maxilla, and mandible, and left anophthalmia and anotia. A genome-wide screen revealed a 1.38 Mb duplication on chromosome 1q31.

Laser lipolysis used to treat localized adiposis: a preliminary report on experience with Asian patients.

Background: Localized deposits of fat (adiposis) located in the face, chin, neck, and arms usually are more compact and difficult to treat using conventional liposuction. It is necessary to find an effective approach for this type of localized adiposis. This study aimed to investigate the clinical application of laser lipolysis for the treatment of localized adiposis in Asian patients.

[Endoscope assisted transaxillary subglandular breast augmentation].

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of endoscope assisted transaxillary subglandular breast augmentation in order to minimize the bleeding and tissue injury.

Methods: Since 2005, 27 patients underwent endoscope assisted transaxillary subglandular breast augmentation. Intraoperative bleeding and dissection injury were markedly decreased.
