Article Abstract
In this study, we aimed to analyze the effect of 5-fluorouracil, triamcinolone, and bevacizumab on scar modulation in an experimental rat model of surgical lesions. Rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus) were divided into four groups: bevacizumab, 5-fluorouracil + triamcinolone, bevacizumab + 5-fluorouracil + triamcinolone, and control (received no medication) groups. A linear, dorsal incision was created and sutured for the first intention wound healing, mimicking the surgical incision of upper blepharoplasty. Treatments were initiated on day 7, and the rats were euthanized on day 14. Only in the 5-fluorouracil + triamcinolone group was there a difference in the number of infiltrated monocytes. There was 56%, 86%, and 85% decrease in the number of neovessels in the bevacizumab, 5-fluorouracil + triamcinolone, and bevacizumab + 5-fluorouracil + triamcinolone groups, respectively, compared with the control. Picrosirius red staining showed higher collagen density and more organized collagen in the treatment groups than in the control group. Scar modulation was observed in all groups, but the 5-fluorouracil + triamcinolone group presented the best results. To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the influence of three medications in combination on healing. When used together, these medications can prevent the development of unsightly scars, and are therefore promising alternatives to corticosteroids.

Treatment of Delayed Hypersensitivity After Injection of Nasal Fillers.
J Cosmet Dermatol
December 2024
Department of Cosmetic Injection Center, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.
Article Synopsis
- Soft tissue filler injections, popular for cosmetic procedures, can lead to adverse reactions, particularly augmentation rhinoplasty in Asian countries due to low nasal bridges.
- There is a need for effective treatments for such reactions, as the complications can severely impact a patient's quality of life.
- A study found that a combination of specific medications resulted in successful treatment of swelling and deformity in two patients, with no side effects after the regimen.
Efficacy and safety of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide alone and its combination with 5- fluorouracil in keloids and hypertrophic scars: Randomized, parallel group, and double blinded trial.
Skin Health Dis

Department of Ophthalmology Maharajgunj Medical Campus Tribhuwan University Kathmandu Nepal.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) alone versus a combination of TAC and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in treating keloids and hypertrophic scars over 12 weeks.
- In a randomized trial involving 66 patients, both treatments showed reductions in scar parameters, but the combination therapy demonstrated significantly better results in terms of efficacy, faster response, and fewer complications.
- The findings suggest that while both treatments are viable, the combination of TAC and 5-FU is more effective and safer than TAC alone; however, the study has limitations such as being conducted at a single center and lacking long-term follow-up.
Unveiling the Hidden Dangers: Massive Allergic Dermatitis After Hyaluronic Acid Injection.
Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

Department of Cosmetic Injection Center, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, 100144, People's Republic of China.
Article Synopsis
- The increasing popularity of hyaluronic acid (HA) implants has led to more noticeable side effects, including a rare case of severe allergic dermatitis from HA injections.
- Through dermoscopy and color ultrasound, the study confirmed that the dermatitis was indeed caused by the fillers and explored possible allergy triggers.
- The patient was effectively treated with a low dose of 5-fluorouracil and triamcinolone acetonide, and the findings aim to enhance understanding of HA-related skin reactions and encourage further research on their underlying causes.
