Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the effect of modified extracorporeal endonasal septoplasty on nasal tip shape and function in patients with severe caudal septal deviation.
Methods: The study population comprised of 55 patients undergoing modified extracorporeal endonasal septoplasty, which called marionette septoplasty. To analyse the aesthetic objective outcomes, postoperative photographs were measured for projection index (PI), tip projection (TP), nasolabial angle (NLA), tip deviation angle (TDA), nasofrontal angle (NFA), supratip height (STH), columellar height (CH), at three times (2 weeks, 3, and 6 months after surgery) and were compared with preoperative photographs. Functional and aesthetic outcomes were also evaluated using nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (NOSE) scale and standardized cosmesis and health nasal outcomes survey (SCHNOS).
Results: Between the pre- and post-operative 6th-month examinations, a significant increase in PI and TP were 7%, and 5% respectively. There was a significant alteration in the NLA and TDA values following the last examination (mean difference ± standard error of mean 9.68 ± 0.9° and 1.5 ± 0.8°, respectively). Moreover, the technique did not make a significant change in the final NFA, STH, and CH, measurements. Following surgery, the NOSE and SCHNOS scores were decreased significantly and the improvement continued over time until the last examination.
Conclusion: The present study findings suggest that the marionette septoplasty technique is an effective to correct and stabilize severe caudal septal deviations. This technique also can provide tip support and protection with a low incidence of dorsal irregularity.

Parkinson disease (PD) is a multisystem disorder marked by progressive dopaminergic neuronal degeneration in the substantia nigra, as well as nondopaminergic systems. Our aim was to investigate longitudinal changes in -(3-[F]fluoropropyl-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl)nortropane (F-FP-CIT) binding at the putamen, substantia nigra, and raphe nuclei in PD. This retrospective cohort study enrolled 127 patients with PD, who underwent F-FP-CIT PET scans twice or more, and 71 age- and sex-matched healthy controls.

Objective: Repositioning and fixation of the posterior septal angle (PSA) relative to the anterior nasal spine (ANS) is a well-known maneuver performed during rhinoplasty. Suture techniques through the periosteum along with transosseous drilling through the spine are the two most common fixation methods. We report on how nasal airway patency varies as a function of technique and patient demographic factors.

Introduction: The proliferation of nanoplastics (NPs) has emerged as a significant environmental concern due to their extensive use, raising concerns about potential adverse effects on human health. However, the exact impacts of NPs on the early development of hematopoietic organs remain poorly understood.
Methods: This investigation utilized fluorescence microscopy to observe the effects of various NP concentrations on the caudal vein plexus (CVP) development in zebrafish embryos.

Background: OSA can cause cognitive impairment (CI). The aim of this study was to investigate whether miR-20a-5p in exosomes derived from bEnd3 cells with IH mediates intercellular crosstalk and induces CI through hippocampal neuronal cell pyroptosis.
Materials And Methods: BEnd3-derived exosomes were isolated from the normal oxygen control group (NC-EXOS) and IH group (IH-EXOS).

Background & Aims: HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) is a severe acute liver injury secondary to HBV-related chronic liver disease (with or without cirrhosis) and is characterized by a high short-term mortality rate. Presently, there is a paucity of experimental models that specifically focus on HBV-ACLF based on chronic hepatitis B. Therefore, this study aimed to establish an experimental mouse model of HBV-ACLF using chronic hepatitis B (CHB) as a basis and investigate the impact of STING activation on the disease.
