Purpose: Dermal fillers have been proven to be safe in soft tissue augmentation; however, their efficacy in modeling the noses of Asian patients has not been demonstrated.
Methods: In this study, 378 patients were included and underwent augmentation rhinoplasty (Artecoll, n=126; Restylane, n=126 and silicone implants, n=126). The subjective and objective outcomes were evaluated on day 1, and months 1, 3, 6, and 12 after injection rhinoplasty.
Results: All patients achieved significant improvement in nasal shape and contour immediately after surgery. Patients treated with Restylane failed to maintain the nasal shape and contour 1 year after surgery, whereas patients undergoing Artecoll rhinoplasty completely maintained the post-treatment nasal shape and contour. More patients with silicone implants experienced adverse events and the severity of these events was greater in the silicone group compared to those in the Restylane and Acetoll groups.
Conclusion: Artecoll rhinoplasty has a low incidence of adverse effects and the shape and contour of the nose are maintained for a prolonged period.

The automated detection of yarn margins is crucial for ensuring the continuity and quality of production in textile workshops. Traditional methods rely on workers visually inspecting the yarn margin to determine the timing of replacement; these methods fail to provide real-time data and cannot meet the precise scheduling requirements of modern production. The complex environmental conditions in textile workshops, combined with the cylindrical shape and repetitive textural features of yarn bobbins, limit the application of traditional visual solutions.

This work explores the mathematical technique known as the Hirota bilinear transformation to investigate different wave behaviors of the nonlinear Rosenau equation, which is fundamental in the study of wave occurrences in a variety of physical systems such as fluid dynamics, plasma physics, and materials science, where nonlinear dynamics and dispersion offer significant functions. This equation was suggested to describe the dynamic behaviour of dense discrete systems. We use Mathematica to investigate these wave patterns and obtained variety of wave behaviors, such as M-shaped waves, mixed waves, multiple wave forms, periodic lumps, periodic cross kinks, bright and dark breathers, and kinks and anti-kinks.

The anatomical structure of the gingival papilla around the implant is special, and it is difficult to recover after injury. The reduction of its height will have a negative impact on function and esthetics, and it is one of the many problems in implant treatment at present. This paper analyzes the influencing factors of implant gingival papilla height from three aspects: anatomical factors, implant surgical design and implant restorative design, including the classical influencing factors such as the shape of natural teeth, interproximal distance between the implant and the adjacent tooth, soft tissue grafting, and contour of implant restorations, as well as the hot and controversial influencing factors in recent years such as the thickness of soft tissues around the implant, the implant surgical timing, the flap design, and the surgical incision, in order to provide reference for clinicians in the process of implant treatment for gingival papilla preservation and reconstruction.

The aim of the study was todescribe the clinical features, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging in patients with choroidal and retinal tumors. Ninety eyes of 89 patients with treatment-naive macular, midperipheral, and juxtapapillary choroidal and retinal tumors were retrospectively included in the study. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmic examination, B-mode ultrasonography, OCT, and FAF imaging.

A comprehensive approach enabling a quantitative interpretation of poly-l-arginine (PARG) adsorption kinetics at solid/electrolyte interfaces was developed. The first step involved all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) modeling of physicochemical characteristics yielding PARG molecule conformations, its contour length, and the cross-section area. It was also shown that PARG molecules, even in concentrated electrolyte solutions (100 mM NaCl), assume a largely elongated shape with an aspect ratio of 36.
