Acid burn injuries in the midfacial region cause contracture of the skin and nasal aperture, which can lead to nasal airway obstruction. Management of such complicated situations requires a multidisciplinary approach, including prosthetic intervention. This article describes a clinical treatment for fabricating a custom nasal conformer for a 28-year-old man who presented with a history of an acid burn injury leading to obstructed external nares and fusion of the tip and columella of the nose with the philtrum of the upper lip. The prosthesis served the dual function of maintaining the nasal airway passage and preventing the contracture of the graft placed over the upper lip during reconstructive surgery.

The presence of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is considered as a valuable risk factor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To more deeply comprehend the molecular mechanism and transcriptome of HBV-induced HCC, we utilized tandem mass tagging (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics analysis and whole-transcriptome sequencing to analyze three sets of matched HepG2 hepatoma cells and HBV-positive HepAD38 cells. The differentially expressed (DE) proteins (1596), mRNAs (5263), miRNAs (581), lncRNAs (2672) and circRNAs (222) were subjected to differential expression and enrichment analyses in order to thoroughly assess the gene-regulatory circuits of HBV-induced HCC.

Wet chemical oxidation (WCO) methods measure total organic carbon (TOC) in aqueous solutions through the formation and detection of carbon dioxide (CO). Prior research documents chloride (Cl) interference during WCO. However, the mechanism that determines WCO interference is not established.

Background: High-intensity interval training (HIT) does not burn fat during exercise. However, it significantly reduces visceral adipose after long-term training. The underlying mechanism may be related to the elevation of fat consumption during the post-exercise recovery period, which is regulated by the hypothalamus-adipose axis.

Understanding the vascular anatomy of the face is crucial for ensuring safe clinical practices, especially as aesthetic procedures involving hyaluronic acid fillers are gaining popularity. Although vascular complications from these procedures are rare, there has been a documented increase in adverse events linked to venous and arterial occlusions. This review addresses the knowledge gap regarding the facial venous system compared to the well-documented facial artery system, emphasising the importance of thorough anatomical knowledge to mitigate risks during injectable cosmetic procedures.
