Objective: To introduce the experience of correcting the congenital ala defect of facial cleft with the method of revolving reposition.
Methods: Five patients were treated with this method. Based on features of the defect, two different operations were employed with the medial crura or the lateral crura of the ala as the revolving pivot.
Results: All the operations obtained good results.
Conclusion: The operation of revolving reposition for congenital ala defect is a simple practical method with satisfactory results.

Utilizing Auricular Composite Grafts for Reconstruction of Nasal Ala Defects in Fitzpatrick Type III-V Indian Noses: Techniques and Outcomes.

Background: Nasal ala defects present significant reconstructive challenges due to their complex anatomy and functional importance. Auricular composite grafts, incorporating both skin and cartilage, are particularly suited for this purpose because they can replace the multilayered structure of the nasal ala in a single surgical procedure, thereby restoring both form and function. Clinical outcomes of these grafts in the reconstruction of ala defects have been highly promising with studies indicating near complete survival rates.

Article Synopsis
- Bertolotti syndrome (BS) is a condition often overlooked in young people with chronic lower back pain, linked to unusual lumbosacral vertebrae.
- A case study of a 19-year-old woman showed BS was diagnosed after imaging confirmed fusion of a vertebra, leading to significant pain and movement restrictions.
- The patient opted for conservative treatment with medication and exercise, resulting in a full recovery at the six-month follow-up, highlighting the need for better awareness of BS in chronic pain assessments.
Dysregulation of FLVCR1a-dependent mitochondrial calcium handling in neural progenitors causes congenital hydrocephalus.

Congenital hydrocephalus (CH), occurring in approximately 1/1,000 live births, represents an important clinical challenge due to the limited knowledge of underlying molecular mechanisms. The discovery of novel CH genes is thus essential to shed light on the intricate processes responsible for ventricular dilatation in CH. Here, we identify FLVCR1 (feline leukemia virus subgroup C receptor 1) as a gene responsible for a severe form of CH in humans and mice.

Gapmer antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) hold therapeutic promise for allele-specific silencing, but face challenges in distinguishing between mutant and wild-type transcripts. This study explores new design strategies to enhance ASO specificity, focusing on a common dominant mutation in gene associated with Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy. Initial gapmer ASO design exhibited high efficiency but poor specificity for the mutant allele.
