RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The viable zone where adipocytes and/or adipose-derived stem cells survive is present at the surface of graft fat tissue; however, there is controversy regarding the zone thickness. Graft retention could be improved if more adipocytes are included in the zone. OBJECTIVES: We hypothesize that a temporary reduction in adipocyte size prior to grafting could increase the number of adipocytes in the viable zone. We reduced the adipocyte size by treatment with MLN4924, which controls lipid accumulation in adipocytes, and investigated the histological and microenvironmental changes in grafted fat. METHODS: Subcutaneous fat harvested from wild-type C57BL/6J mice was chopped into small pieces; treated with dimethyl sulfoxide (control group), 0.25 µM MLN4924, or 0.5 µM MLN4924 for 4 days; and grafted into recipient C57BL/6J mice at the supraperiosteal plane of the skull. RESULTS: The reduced adipocyte size in response to MLN4924 treatment was restored within 8 weeks after fat grafting. The MLN4924-treated groups exhibited substantially greater graft volume, lower tissue hypoxia, and higher production of M2 macrophages compared with the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Grafting with compact fat that had smaller adipocytes improved the microenvironment by modulating tissue hypoxia and macrophage polarization, leading to improved graft retention. Therefore, compact fat grafting may offer a new clinical strategy without the need for stem cell manipulation.

RESUMEN

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)-a new category of anaplastic large cell lymphoma associated with textured breast implants-has a distinct variation in incidence and is especially rare in Asia. We report the first case of BIA-ALCL in Korea and present its histological and genetic characteristics. A 44-year-old female patient presented with a typical clinical course and symptoms, including breast augmentation with textured breast implants, late-onset peri-implant effusion, and CD30+ALK- histology, followed by bilateral implant removal and total capsulectomy. For histological analysis, we performed immunohistochemistry of the bilateral breast capsules. For transcriptome analysis, we identified highly upregulated gene sets employing RNA-sequencing and characterized the lymphoma immune cell components. In the lymphoma-associated capsule, CD30+ cells infiltrated not only the lymphoma lesion but also the peritumoral lesion. The morphologies of the myofibroblasts and vessels in the peritumoral lesion were similar to those in the tumoral lesion. We observed strong activation of the JAK/STAT3 pathway and expression of programmed death ligand-1 in the lymphoma. Unlike the molecular profiles of BIA-ALCL samples from Caucasian patients-all of which contained activated CD4+ T cells-the Asian patient's profile was characterized by more abundant CD8+ T cells. This study contributes to a better understanding of the pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms of BIA-ALCL in Asian patients that will ultimately facilitate the development of clinical therapies.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Several approaches are available for managing zygomatic fractures; however, each approach has its complications. Use of the Carroll-Girard T-bar screw (CGTS) can reduce complications because it reduces the number of approaches needed for reduction. This study aimed to analyze the efficiency of the CGTS compared with the 3-point approach. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the computed tomography scans of 204 patients who underwent reduction surgery of Knight and North type 3, 4, or 5 zygomatic fractures from March 2009 to August 2017. Facial asymmetry, operative time, and complications were evaluated to compare 2 groups of patients: those who underwent CGTS and those who did not. Bilateral differences in the distance from the reference plane to the malar eminence in 3 dimensions based on computed tomography scans were used to calculate facial asymmetry. RESULTS: Among 204 patients, 91 were treated with CGTS whereas 113 patients underwent a 3-point approach. Bilateral differences in the position of the malar eminence and facial asymmetry were not statistically different in both groups. Operative time was not different in both groups. However, when patients with type 4 fracture were independently compared, the mean operative time was significantly shorter for the CGTS group. Wound dehiscence occurred in 11 patients (9.7%) in the 3-point approach group, compared with none in the CGTS group. None of the patients in the CGTS group complained of postoperative cheek scars over their incision sites. CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that CGTS is a useful and feasible instrument that can reduce the number of approaches for zygomatic bone reduction and help clinicians achieve satisfactory outcomes.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Nasal and blowout fractures are the most common injuries from craniomaxillofacial trauma. Nasal fractures are easily diagnosed by clinical signs, such as pain and crepitus. However, blowout fractures are frequently asymptomatic and are easy to miss without computed tomographic (CT) scanning. This study analyzed the relation between the 2 fracture types to determine whether nasal fracture could be used as a predictor of blowout fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS: CT scans of 1,368 patients who underwent reduction surgery for nasal fracture were retrospectively reviewed. The pattern of nasal fractures (n = 1,368) was classified as frontal or lateral according to the direction of impact. Blowout fractures (n = 297) were classified into 3 types according to the position of the fracture: medial, inferior, or inferomedial wall. After calculating the number of patients in each group, the relation between nasal and blowout fracture types was statistically analyzed. RESULTS: Of 305 patients with frontal-type nasal fractures, the incidence of medial, inferior, and inferomedial wall fracture was 26, 7, and 9, respectively. Of 1,063 patients with lateral-type nasal fractures, the incidence of medial, inferior, and inferomedial wall fracture was 118, 75, and 62, respectively. Medial wall fracture was most common in the 2 nasal fracture groups and showed a higher frequency in the lateral-type group. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed a strong relation between nasal fractures and medial wall blowout fractures. If nasal fracture is suspected, especially the lateral type, then thorough examination for medial wall blowout fracture, with a high index of suspicion, should be performed.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Most facelift techniques greatly improve the lower face; however, techniques for lifting the midface are limited and difficult. Original deep plane face lift is a way to lift the SMAS and skin as a compound unit. Though it minimizes SMAS tear during dissection, damage to the vascular system and incidence of skin necrosis and can be easily used in secondary cases, it does not adequately improve nasolabial fold. We perform a modified and enhanced deep plane facelift to improve the midface. Herein, we explain the effects and procedures of the method. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients (n=632) on whom deep-plane facelift (DPF group, n=299) and modified deep-plane facelift (M-DPF group, n=333) was performed by a single surgeon from January 2014 to January 2017 and February 2017 to December 2020, respectively, at a local clinic. The degree of improvement in wrinkles in the patients' nasolabial fold was assessed using a 5-grade wrinkle severity rating scale (WSRS). RESULTS: Preoperative WSRS was 2.95 ± 0.89 in the DPF group and 2.89 ± 0.92 in the M-DPF group. There was no significant difference in preoperative WSRS between the two groups (p=0.058). Postoperative WSRS was 1.81 ± 0.68 in the DPF group, which was significantly greater than the 1.65 ± 0.66 found in the M-DPF group. CONCLUSIONS: This method developed by us that combines deep-plane facelift with deep fat compartment mobilization and zygomaticus major muscle plication is safe and directly improves the nasolabial fold and promotes a smiling expression for rejuvenation effects.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) and is widely used in implant-based breast reconstructions. However, long-term changes in the ADM around implants have not been established. This study aimed to investigate long-term changes in the ADM covering breast implants using serial ultrasound and histologic evaluations. METHODS: The authors evaluated the ultrasound results of 145 patients who underwent implant-based breast reconstructions with ADM coverings. The ultrasound results obtained within 18 months of surgery and those obtained 5 years postoperatively were analyzed to determine the change in ADM thickness. For histologic analysis, the ADM was harvested from 30 patients who underwent secondary breast surgery. Histologic features of the ECM and cellular components within the ADM were compared at specific intervals from ADM implantation and the second operation (early ADM group, <18 months; late ADM group, >5 years postoperatively). RESULTS: The ADM thickness on ultrasound examination was significantly decreased in the late ADM group compared with that in the early ADM group ( P < 0.001). Histologic analyses revealed that the late ADM group had less thickness with lower ECM levels versus the early ADM group. Increased infiltration of host cells, such as vascular endothelial cells, myofibroblasts, and immune cells, occurred in the late ADM group. CONCLUSIONS: Implanted ADMs underwent gradual thinning over time, in addition to ECM reduction and infiltration of host cells. These findings are useful in understanding the natural course of ADMs currently used in implant-based breast reconstructions. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, V.

RESUMEN

Telecanthus is a common symptom accompanied by Waardenburg syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. The optimal surgery for telecanthus correction is still debated. A 28-year-old patient with Waardenburg syndrome underwent transnasal wiring canthopexy using a Y-V epicanthoplasty for telecanthus correction. A Mini-Monoka stent was used to prevent damage to the lacrimal apparatus. The intercanthal distance decreased from 50 mm to 43.2 mm. The easily designed Y-V epicanthoplasty incision provides sufficient operative field for oblique transnasal wiring, which is effective in properly positioning the medial canthal tendon. It has minimal scarring resulting in satisfactory cosmetic outcomes.
