Objective: Nasal tip hypertrophy is common in Asians, and its reshaping is very critical in rhinoplasty. For patients who refuse any implant placed in the nose, there are limited options for tip reshaping. Herein, we introduce a new procedure of nasal tip and alar groove plasty through external nasal cutting in Asians.

This study summarizes the clinical characteristics and treatment of this type of infections to provide some reference for clinical work.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 10 patients who were diagnosed with a nasal infection of P.
Article Synopsis
- * A total of 15 patients were involved, with conditions primarily related to basal cell carcinoma and trauma, and all procedures were successful without complications like flap necrosis.
- * Patients reported good satisfaction levels long-term, indicating that this flap technique is a viable alternative to using free flaps for eyelid reconstruction.
Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is one of the most promising biomarkers for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The majority of previous studies utilized the serum level or tissue protein expression of HE4 based upon immunohistochemistry (IHC) to evaluate the role of HE4 in the diagnosis, prognosis, and surveillance of EOC, but very little is known about HE4 mRNA expression. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3a (eIF3a) is implicated in oncogenesis and has been investigated extensively as a potential biomarker for malignancy.

Background: The melastatin-related transient receptor potential 7 channel (TRPM7) is a nonselective cation channel that has been shown to promote tumor metastasis and progression. In this study, we determined the expression of TRPM7 in ovarian carcinomas and investigated its possible prognostic value.
Materials And Methods: Samples were collected from 138 patients with ovarian cancer.
