Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between dietary iron intake and colorectal cancer (CRC), highlighting that iron's role in CRC development is not fully understood.
  • Researchers found that a protein called divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) is highly expressed in CRC, with its expression driven by stress-related factors.
  • The findings suggest that high iron levels activate a signaling network that promotes tumor growth, indicating that managing iron intake may have implications for CRC prevention and treatment.

Objective: To investigate a simple, minimally invasive and effective operative method for the facial rejuvenation in the upper eyelid and midface region.

Methods: Blepharoplasty was combined with suspending orbicularis oculi muscle flap and fixing it on the periosteum underneath the eyebrow through eyebrow incision. Meanwhile, for midface rejuvenation, inferior palpebral margin incision was performed and prezygomatic interspace was separated completely under the orbicularis oculi muscle.

Objective: To introduce the experience in the treatment of lower eyelid pouches orbital rim.

Methods: An incision was made along the margin of lower eyelid and dissection was performed under the orbicularis muscle to expose the orbital septum and periosteum of lower orbital rim. The fat released from orbital septum was transposed just below the lower orbital rim and fixed on the periosteum.

Objective: To report the treatment of a case of severe Crouzon's syndrome using monobloc distraction osteogenesis and cranial vault remodeling.

Methods: Through intra-and extra-cranial approach, monobloc osteotomy was performed and external distractor was placed. Distraction began on the 7th postoperative day at a rate of 1 mm a day, two times a day.
