Decentralization is a peculiar characteristic of self-organizing systems such as swarm intelligence systems, which function as complex collective responsive systems without central control and operates based on contextual local coordination among relatively simple individual systems. The decentralized particularity of self-organizing systems lies in their capacity to spontaneously respond to accommodate environmental changes in a cooperative manner without external control. However, if members cannot obtain observations of the state of the whole team and environment, they have to share their knowledge and policies with each other through communication in order to adapt to the environment appropriately.

Methods: (1) Compound colloid was formed by cross-linking the divinyl sulphone and sodium hyaluronate with different molecular weight (4 x 10(5), 8 x 10(5), 10 x 10(5), 12 x 10(5)). (2) Healthy level KM mice was randomly divided into two groups to receive hyaluronic acid gel or liquid injection.

Objective: To explore a new method for enlarging the rotation range of the nasolabial fold flap.
Methods: We designed a retrograde nasolabial fold island flap pedicled with the upper lip artery for repairing facial defects. The anatomy of the upper lip and the vascular supply to the nasolabial skin were observed.
