Purpose: Three different techniques used in 10 cases of divided eyelid nevus and the results are reported and discussed.
Methods: A retrospective study of 10 patients who had undergone treatment of divided eyelid nevus with skin flap between March 2003 and March 2008 was conducted. According to the location, shape, and size of the upper and lower eyelids nevus orbicularis oculi musculocutaneous flap, postauricular superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS)-pedicled flap, or reversal superficial temporal artery (STA) flap was designed to repair the eyelid defects.
Results: Ten patients were treated in this series with 10 oculi musculocutaneous flaps, 3 postauricular SMAS-pedicled flaps, and 3 reversal STA flaps. One postauricular SMAS-pedicled flap and 1 reversal STA flap showed distal flap venous refluence (reflux) obstruction and partial epidermal necrosis in the early postoperative stage, but after active treatment, they healed well and needed no surgical revision. All the other flaps survived well. Four flaps showed slight trapdoor deformation needing no revision. No other complication developed during the follow-up periods of 6 to 36 months. All the donor sites were closed directly and healed well with inconspicuous scarring. This series has exhibited satisfactory cosmetic and functional results.
Conclusions: Treating divided eyelid nevus with well-selected skin flaps is satisfying with excellent color and texture matching, normal eyelid function, and inconspicuous donor deformity.

To explore the relationship between intestinal mucin 2 () and weaning-induced diarrhoea in piglets, we analysed and piglets. The piglets were divided into a healthy weaned group, a weaned diarrhoea group, and a healthy unweaned control group. Intestinal tissues were collected, and goblet cell numbers, sizes, and degrees of intestinal injury were observed and recorded.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of pre-operative ranibizumab injection on microvascular density (MVD), 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and recurrence after surgical excision of primary pterygium.
Method: This was a prospective cohort interventional study involving 52 patients with primary pterygium divided equally into control and intervention groups. The intervention group received 0.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of pterygium excision combined with autologous limbal stem cell transplantation on microvascular density, tear film stability, and corneal wound healing in the management of pterygium.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 317 patients with pterygium who underwent treatment between January 2021 and January 2024. Patients were divided into a control group (pterygium excision alone, n = 161) and a study group (pterygium excision combined with autologous limbal stem cell transplantation, n = 156) based on the surgical approach.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the safety and efficacy between carbon dioxide (CO2) laser excision and surgical excision for the treatment of eyelid margin benign tumors.
Methods: In this single-center, prospective, randomized, and single-blind study, 32 patients diagnosed with eyelid margin benign tumors were enrolled from February 2019 to February 2020 and randomly divided into 2 groups. The sexes, ages, tumor size (length×width), scar, procedure time, physicians' assessment score, patients' satisfaction score, and complications were recorded.

Age-related changes to the orbicularis oculi muscle include impaired eyelid function, such as lagophthalmos, alterations in tear film dynamics, and aesthetic changes like wrinkles, festoons, and the descent of soft tissue. To date, the structural and functional changes that would comprehensively increase our understanding of orbicularis aging have not been analyzed. This study aims to investigate functional outcomes using surface electromyography and correlate them with ultrastructural changes in orbicularis during aging.
