Tear trough deformity (TTD) is a significant cosmetic concern, with current treatments relying primarily on invasive injectable fillers, which are costly and carry risks of complications. Despite the widespread use of hyaluronic acid (HA) in cosmetic applications, its poor dermal permeation has limited the development of effective topical fillers for TTD.This study aim to develop and evaluate a novel hyaluronic acid nanogel (nanofiller, NF) as a non-invasive topical filler for TTD.

Background/purpose: Dental implants can restore both function and aesthetics in edentulous areas. However, the absence of cushioning mechanical behavior in implants may limit their clinical performance and reduce the long-term survival rates. This study aimed to establish an implant cushion mechanism that mimicked the natural periodontal ligament, utilizing the properties of composite hydrogels.

Background: Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a three-dimensional (3D) structure found around cells in the tissues of many organisms. It is composed mainly of fibrous proteins, such as collagen and elastin, and adhesive glycoproteins, such as fibronectin and laminin-as well as proteoglycans, such as hyaluronic acid. The ECM performs several essential functions, including structural support of tissues, regulation of cell communication, adhesion, migration, and differentiation by providing biochemical and biomechanical cues to the cells.

Purpose: Blood compatibility of cardiovascular implants is still a major concern. Rapid endothelialization of these implant surfaces has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance hemocompatibility and prevent complications such as thrombus formation and restenosis. The successful endothelialization of implant surfaces mostly depends on the migration of endothelial cells (ECs), the differentiation of stem cells, and the inhibition of smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation.

Department of Dermatology, Beijing TongRen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Aim: To present three cases of filler-induced alopecia (FIA) and summarize the current knowledge of its clinical features, mechanisms and treatments.

Methods: In the first two cases, two females developed well-defined triangular patches of hair loss after hyaluronic acid (HA) injections, and received corticosteriod injections with topical 5% minoxidil. The third case described another female who experienced alopecia areata-like hair loss after autologous fat grafting, and received combined therapies including corticosteriod, 5% minoxidil and microneedling.
