Effectiveness and Safety of a Hyaluronic Acid Filler for Chin Augmentation and Correction of Chin Retrusion: A Multi-center, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: The chin significantly influences facial aesthetics, contributing to the overall balance and harmony of the face. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the hyaluronic acid filler Hyamax® Volumizer for chin augmentation and correction of chin retrusion compared to a no-treatment control.

Methods: Participants aged 18-55 years with mild to moderate chin retrusion were randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive either the treatment group (n = 150) or control group (n = 50).

Snake-shaped ePTFE nasal tip graft combined with conchal cartilage in Asian rhinoplasty: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Lacking a nasal tip projection is a common deformity of Asian nasals. Various commonly used nasal tip grafts require dissecting septal perichondrium, most of them are autologous cartilage with a nonintegrated design. A snake-shaped expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) nasal tip graft is an integrated, stable tip graft without any additional assembly and splicing, conforming to the nasal anatomy characteristics of Asians.

Application of magnetic resonance imaging with intraoperative color Doppler ultrasound in the treatment of patients with polyacrylamide hydrogel injected for breast augmentation: a retrospective study of 204 cases for 12 years.

Purpose: Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG), which had been used widely for breast augmentation, has been banned for more than 15 years. Patients who had been injected PAHG for breast augmentation need evacuation surgery to remove as much as possible. To provide a series of diagnosis and treatment process MRI and intraoperative color Doppler ultrasound are combined for maximal removal of PAHG.

Morphological Measurement of Asian Osteal Nasal Base for Paranasal Augmentation.

Background: Paranasal augmentation has been a popular approach in restoring Asian patients' lateral profile. Irregular surface in the surgical area emphasizes the importance of morphological evidence for the preoperative evaluation and the design of paranasal implants.

Methods: We retrospectively collected craniofacial computer tomography scans of patients in the department of plastic surgery from 2020 to 2022.

Repair of Asian nasal subunit defects using nasolabial perforator flaps: A retrospective study.

Background: The application of nasolabial perforator flap for nasal reconstruction has been reported previously with satisfactory outcomes, but the outcomes and risk factors of postoperative adverse events have been unclear to plastic surgeons.

Aims: To statistically analyze the effectiveness of the nasolabial perforator flap in nasal reconstruction and the risk factor of postoperative complications and re-operation.

Patients/methods: This retrospective study evaluated 58 Chinese patients who underwent nasal reconstruction with the nasolabial perforator flap from 2009 to 2021.

Expanded forehead flap in Asian nasal reconstruction.

This article reviewed our experience of Chinese nasal reconstruction over 12 years and evaluated the effect of expanded forehead flap both aesthetically and functionally. The special skin type and other anatomic features of Chinese patients was understood thoroughly during the treatment. This article thus catered for the need of multiracial nasal reconstruction.

The Application of Cartilage Tissue Engineering with Cell-Laden Hydrogel in Plastic Surgery: A Systematic Review.

Background: As a contour-supporting material, the cartilage has a significant application value in plastic surgery. Since the development of hydrogel scaffolds with sufficient biomechanical strength and high biocompatibility, cell-laden hydrogels have been widely studied for application in cartilage bioengineering. This systematic review summarizes the latest research on engineered cartilage constructed using cell-laden hydrogel scaffolds in plastic surgery.

Relation of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio to acute kidney injury in patients with sepsis and septic shock: A retrospective study.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the association of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) measured at the time of admission to intensive unit (ICU) with acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with sepsis and septic shock. In addition, we investigated whether the NLR affects in-hospital mortality in septic AKI patients.

Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 222 adult patients with sepsis and septic shock were included, who were admitted to the ICU of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2015 to December 2017.

Increased Expression of Tissue/Salivary Transgelin mRNA Predicts Poor Prognosis in Patients with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC).

Background: Transgelin is supposed to be a tumor suppression gene and it is down-regulated in a variety of human cancers. However, the role of transgelin in different cancers is still very controversial. In addition, currently little information is available the relationship between transgelin and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC).

Inhibition of metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma by anti-PLGF treatment.

Neovascularization plays a critical role in cancer metastasis. However, the molecular mechanism regulating the neovascularization in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is poorly understood. Placental growth factor (PLGF) has been known to regulate pathological angiogenesis and has been recently shown to regulate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) for extracellular matrix degradation during neovascularization.
