Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of the double insurance method of flexible suspension and semiflexible suspension in bionic blepharoplasty.

Methods: Between January 2020 and January 2022, a total of 115 patients (230 eyes) underwent double eyelid plastic surgery with flexible suspension and semiflexible suspension. Herein, we present a new type of double eyelid surgery that preserves the orbicular muscle of the anterior tarsus without removing the tissue. First, the loose fatty fascia layer between the anterior tarsus and the orbicularis oculi muscle was completely removed to a distance of 2 mm from the base of the eyelashes, leaving the compact pretarsal levator aponeurosis. Then, the anterior tarsus orbicularis oculi muscle and the upper levator aponeurosis were sutured and fixed (flexible suspension). Finally, the skin and the upper levator aponeurosis were sutured in the flexible suspension space (semiflexible suspension).

Results: Six months after surgery, the patient's double eyelid shape had recovered well, and the satisfaction rate reached 97.3%. Among the unsatisfied patients, 1 patient had a single-focused shallow eyelid line which was associated with postoperative hematoma, and 2 patients felt that the double eyelid line was narrow. All 3 patients achieved satisfactory results after reoperation.

Conclusions: The bionic double eyelid method with flexible suspension and semiflexible suspension can restore the natural double eyelid anatomy very well by reconstructing the connection between the orbicularis oculi muscle or skin and the upper palpebral levator aponeurosis. After the operation, the incisions healed quickly and smoothly. The eyelid depression and fleshy feeling were not obvious when the eyes were closed. Consequently, the patient's satisfaction was very high.

Background: Foreign body inhalation is rare in older children, often leading to underdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Most cases involve a single foreign body, but instances of multiple foreign bodies are exceedingly uncommon. This report presents a case of an elder child who inhaled two pen caps, emphasizing the need for clinical vigilance and thorough medical history collection.

Parallel analysis of phenotype, transcriptome and antigen receptor sequence in single B cells is a useful method for tracking B cell activation and maturation during immune responses. However, in most cases, the specificity and affinity of the B cell antigen receptor cannot be inferred from its sequence. Antibody cloning and expression from single B cells is then required for functional assays.

The present investigation provides an easy and affordable strategy for fabrication of functional ceramics BiNaTiO-SrFeO (BNT-SrF5) thick films on a flexible, inexpensive and electrically integrated substrate using electrophoretic deposition process (EPD). EPD is a widely accepted, environmentally friendly method for applying coatings from a colloidal suspension to conductive substrates. Lead-free ferroelectric BNT-SrF5 powder was synthesized by solid state method to fabricate bulk samples and thick films (30-160 μm) by EPD process.

Thermoelectric Modulation of Neat TiCT MXenes by Finely Regulating the Stacking of Nanosheets.

Nanomicro Lett

Department of Materials Science, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200433, People's Republic of China.

Emerging two-dimensional MXenes have been extensively studied in a wide range of fields thanks to their superior electrical and hydrophilic attributes as well as excellent chemical stability and mechanical flexibility. Among them, the ultrahigh electrical conductivity (σ) and tunable band structures of benchmark TiCT MXene demonstrate its good potential as thermoelectric (TE) materials. However, both the large variation of σ reported in the literature and the intrinsically low Seebeck coefficient (S) hinder the practical applications.

Proteomic Analysis of Biological Fluids.

Methods Mol Biol

December 2024

Department of Environmental Toxicology, The University of California, Davis, Davis, CA, USA.

Biological fluids are proteinaceous liquids or suspensions released through different body orifices or through penetration of the skin. These fluids are the result of multiple tissues and cell types and contain extensive, highly complex, and dynamic protein populations that reflect both the transcriptional program of the originating cells and a record of the individual's health status. Body fluids are readily accessible to clinicians and researchers, and as such proteomic analyses are an important component of clinical studies, fertility studies, oral health studies, and forensic investigations.
