Autologous fat grafting technology has become a new method for breast reconstruction after breast surgery due to its advantages of simple operation, low immunogenicity, fewer complications, high patient acceptance, and natural filling effect. However, the unpredictable fate of transplanted fat limits its widespread application. Currently, many studies have made certain progress in improving the survival rate of fat grafts. This article provides an overview of autologous fat grafting technology, including the mechanisms of fat graft survival, techniques for obtaining and transplanting adipose tissue, methods for enhancing graft survival, and complications associated with fat grafting.

Background: Although bariatric and metabolic surgical methods, including duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB), were shown to improve metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in clinical trials and experimental rodent models, their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study therefore evaluated the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action of DJB in rats with MASLD.

Methods: Rats with MASLD were randomly assigned to undergo DJB or sham surgery.

Objective: To assess the clinical efficacy of combining autologous fat grafting with hair follicle unit transplantation.

Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis involving 30 patients at the Department of Plastic Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, between January 2021 and January 2023. Granular fat was harvested from the thigh's posterior aspect using liposuction.

Inflammatory bowel disease, particularly Crohn's disease (CD), has been linked to modifications in mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT) and the phenomenon known as "creeping fat" (CrF). The presence of CrF is believed to serve as a predictor for early clinical recurrence following surgical intervention in patients with CD. Notably, the incorporation of the mesentery during ileocolic resection for CD has been correlated with a decrease in surgical recurrence, indicating the significant role of MAT in the pathogenesis of CD.

Extensive research has investigated the etiology of Crohn's disease (CD), encompassing genetic predisposition, lifestyle factors, and environmental triggers. Recently, the gut microbiome, recognized as the human body's second-largest gene pool, has garnered significant attention for its crucial role in the pathogenesis of CD. This paper investigates the mechanisms underlying CD, focusing on the role of 'creeping fat' in disease progression and exploring emerging therapeutic strategies, including fecal microbiota transplantation, enteral nutrition, and therapeutic diets.

Objectives: Liver transplant is the most effective therapeutic option for patients with end-stage liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and acute liver failure. We evaluated whether the percentage of hepatic fat percentage affected transplant outcomes to determine whether livers with varying severity of macrosteatosis should be considered suitable for donation.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed data from 381 patients with liver failure who received liver transplant at Montaseriyeh Hospital in Mashhad, Iran, between 2013 and 2022.
