High-Density Fat Combined With Stromal Vascular Fraction Gel for the Treatment of Facial Localized Scleroderma.

Patients with localized scleroderma on the face typically exhibit asymmetrical linear or patchy skin lesions and indentations on areas such as the scalp and forehead, with a smooth, waxy surface. In the early stages, medication is used to control the progression of the disease. In later stages, plastic surgery is performed to repair facial skin lesions.

One Patient of Blepharoptosis Caused by Levator Palpebrae Superioris Aponeurosis Degeneration.

Ptosis is one of the common diseases of plastic surgery, which is caused by various causes of levator palpebrae superioris dysfunction or Müller muscle insufficiency, which is manifested by the upper eyelid margin being lower than normal when level viewed. Ptosis can be divided into congenital and acquired, and the main cause of congenital ptosis is due to congenital levator palpebrae superioris dysplasia or the motor nerve innervation that innervates it is caused by abnormal oculomotor neurodevelopment and dysfunction. Acquired ptosis can be divided into traumatic, neurogenic, myogenic, senile, mechanical, and false ptosis.

Lnc-H19 enhances anaerobic glycolysis of keloid fibroblasts by targeting the miR-214-5p/FGF2 axis.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 has been demonstrated as vital regulator in tumors. However, whether lnc-H19 mediated the development of keloid fibroblasts (KD) was unknown, this study was aimed to clarify the role and molecular mechanisms of lnc-H19 in KD. We have investigated the expression levels of lnc-H19, miR-214-5p and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) in KD skin samples and normal skin tissues as well as matched cells by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay.

Application of Local Flaps in Repairing Total and Near-Total Lower Lip Defects of Young Patients.

Background: It has always been a great challenge for clinical doctors to reconstruct total and near-total lower lip defects. Compared with elderly patients, the repair operation in young patients is more difficult where free flaps are usually used for transfer. In order to obtain better postoperative results, the authors combined two kinds of local skin flaps for operation purpose, and evaluated their postoperative clinical effects.
