RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Meige syndrome is characterized by involuntary blepharospasm and varied subphenotypes of oromandibular tonic-clonic muscle contraction. Despite botulinum toxin (BTx) being the mainstay of treatment for Meige syndrome, a small subset of patients remain refractory to its effects because the disease is a form of functional blindness. An integrative surgical procedure combining selective myectomy and myotomy in situ of eyelid protractors, blepharoptosis correction, and tightening of the lower eyelid laxity was first applied to treat refractory blepharospasm in patients with Meige syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study is a retrospective review conducted on 24 patients with refractory Meige syndrome between 2013 and 2020. Besides selective myectomy and myotomy in situ of eyelid protractors, levator plication and lateral tarsoplasty or canthopexy was performed for blepharoptosis correction and lower eyelid tightening, respectively. Patient demographics, associated diseases, medical treatment history, associated surgical procedures, final aesthetic outcomes, and therapeutic effects as reflected by changes in function disability score and Botox (BTx) treatment were thoroughly recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 65.2 ± 8.9 years. Twenty-one patients (87.5%) received blepharoptosis correction by levator plication with an average of 11.2 ± 2.9 mm in length. Lateral tarsoplasty was performed in 16 patients (66.7%) by pentagonal tarsal resection with an average of 3.9 ± 0.8 mm in width. Five patients (20.8%) received lateral canthopexy. Among the total of 96 operated eyelids, scar revision with fat graft was performed in 3 eyelids (3.1%). The average amount of BTx treatment decreased from 49.2 ± 12.8 U once every 2.7 ± 0.8 months before surgery to 35.4 ± 7.8 U once every 3.8 ± 0.7 months after surgery. Function disability score improved from 76.7 ± 17.5% preoperatively to 15.6 ± 9.9% postoperatively ( P < 0.001). Only 3 upper eyelids (3.1%) received scar revision and fat grafting due to minor postoperative contour depression. All patients expressed high satisfaction with both functional and aesthetic outcomes (Likert scale 4.5 ± 0.5). CONCLUSIONS: Selective myectomy and myotomy in situ of eyelid protractors combining blepharoplasty correction and lower eyelid tightening can produce long-lasting functional and aesthetic results with minimal complication in patients with refractory Meige syndrome.

Paclitaxel (PAC) results in long-term chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). The coexpression of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the nervous system plays an essential role in mediating CIPN. In this study, we used a TLR4 agonist (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) and a TLR4 antagonist (TAK-242) in the CIPN rat model to investigate the role of TLR4-MyD88 signaling in the antinociceptive effects of hyper-baric oxygen therapy (HBOT). All rats, except a control group, received PAC to induce CIPN. Aside from the PAC group, four residual groups were treated with either LPS or TAK-242, and two of them received an additional one-week HBOT (PAC/LPS/HBOT and PAC/TAK-242/HBOT group). Mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia were then assessed. The expressions of TRPV1, TLR4 and its downstream signaling molecule, MyD88, were investigated. The mechanical and thermal tests revealed that HBOT and TAK-242 alleviated behavioral signs of CIPN. Immunofluorescence in the spinal cord dorsal horn and dorsal root ganglion revealed that TLR4 overexpression in PAC- and PAC/LPS-treated rats was significantly downregulated after HBOT and TAK-242. Additionally, Western blots showed a significant reduction in TLR4, TRPV1, MyD88 and NF-κB. Therefore, we suggest that HBOT may alleviate CIPN by modulating the TLR4-MyD88-NF-κB pathway.

BACKGROUND: Vulvovaginal laxity, atrophic vaginitis, and orgasmic dysfunction are not only aesthetic but also sexual problems. Autologous fat grafting (AFG) facilitates tissue rejuvenation through the effects of adipose-derived stem cells; the fat grafts serve as soft-tissue filler. However, few studies have reported the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing vulvovaginal AFG. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to describe a new technique, micro-autologous fat transplantation (MAFT), for AFG in the vulvovaginal area. Posttreatment histologic changes in the vaginal canal that imply improved sexual function were assessed. METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled females who underwent vulvovaginal AFG performed through MAFT between June 2017 and 2020. Assessments were based on the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire and on histologic and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: In total, 20 female patients (mean age, 38.1 years) were included. On average, 21.9 mL of fat was injected into the vagina and 20.8 mL in the vulva and mons pubis area. Six months afterwards, the patients' mean total FSFI score (68.6) was significantly higher than that at baseline (43.8; P < .001). Histologic and immunohistochemical staining of vaginal tissues revealed substantially increased levels of neocollagenesis, neoangiogenesis, and estrogen receptors. By contrast, the level of protein gene product 9.5, which is associated with neuropathic pain, was considerably lower after AFG. CONCLUSIONS: AFG performed through MAFT in the vulvovaginal area may help manage sexual function-related problems in females. In addition, this technique improves aesthetics, restores tissue volume, alleviates dyspareunia with lubrication, and reduces scar tissue pain.

BACKGROUND: The most challenging complication associated with lower blepharoplasty is ectropion, and the traditional lateral canthopexy or canthoplasty procedure may carry the risk of eyelid malposition or subsequent chemosis. We propose lateral tarsoplasty with a detailed description of the techniques to treat and even prevent ectropion by not involving the medial or lateral canthal ligament so as to avoid complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Lower eyelid laxity was analyzed with the snap-back test and distraction test before surgery. Approximately 5 mm medial to the lateral canthus, lateral tarsoplasty is performed through a full-thickness pentagonal tarsal-conjunctival resection according to the "overlapping test" for an accurate measurement of the amount of the tarsus to be resected. Seventy-two eyelids that received either ectropion correction or prevention with lateral tarsoplasty over an 8-year period at a single institution were collected and analyzed for this retrospective review. RESULTS: Lateral tarsoplasty was performed in 39 patients with a mean age of 63.8 years. Thirteen patients with 20 eyelids presented for ectropion correction, in whom 5 to 10 mm of tarsus was resected, 6.0 mm in average. The other 26 patients with 52 eyelids presented for ectropion prevention, in whom 3 to 7 mm of tarsus was resected, 4.1 mm in average. Apart from temporary mild chemosis, all patients experienced highly satisfactory results without any ectropion or malposition of the involved lower eyelids after a follow-up of 8.1 months in average. CONCLUSIONS: For patients with moderate and severe laxity of lower eyelids, lateral tarsoplasty without involvement of the lateral canthal ligament proves to be an effective way to treat and prevent lower eyelid ectropion.

BACKGROUND: The reconstruction of a large postmastectomy chest wall defect for patients with stage III/IV breast cancer is a challenge for plastic surgeons. In this study, we present the application of an extended transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap to easily and safely reconstruct these defects. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective review from November 1997 to November 2016 revealed that 65 patients with stage III/IV breast cancer immediately underwent postmastectomy TRAM flap reconstruction. In total, 16 patients were enrolled in this study based on the inclusion criteria of a postmastectomy chest skin defect size of greater than or equal to 100 cm and a TRAM flap size of greater than or equal to 80% of the lower abdominal area for reconstruction. RESULTS: Eleven (68.9%) and 5 patients (31.3%) were diagnosed with stage III and stage IV breast cancer, respectively. The chest wall skin defects ranged from 135 to 440 cm. All flap areas exceeded 80% of the lower abdominal area. Overall, 100% of the harvested flaps were used in 3 patients, and only 1 patient had marginal necrosis in zone IV. No total flap loss was observed. The average length of hospital stay was 5.8 days, and the mean follow-up duration was 46.6 months (range, 4.5-117.7 months). On a Likert scale, the mean follow-up satisfaction score of 10 patients was 4.7. CONCLUSIONS: Even when the flap area exceeded 80% of the lower abdominal area, the extended TRAM flap proved an effective and viable method for the immediate reconstruction of extensive postmastectomy chest wall skin defects, resulting in few minor complications and high follow-up satisfaction scores.

Background and Objectives: Nail bed and germinal matrix loss due to wide excision for fingertip tumors or malignancy are occasionally encountered complications. These defects also result from severely comminuted fingertip crush injuries. Large-area dorsal finger or toenail bed defects, which usually present with phalangeal bone exposure, remain challenging regardless of the usage of different reconstruction strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome of a staged operation with an acellular dermal matrix coverage and subsequent skin graft as reconstruction for defects of total nail bed, germinal matrix loss, and bone exposure. Materials and Methods: From April 2018 to October 2019, four patients with total nail bed, germinal matrix, and bone exposure loss after surgery were enrolled in our series. A staged operation of the acellular dermal matrix coverage with subsequent skin graft was performed on these patients. Skin graft take rate, oncological prognosis, and cosmetic outcome were evaluated. Patients were followed up for 5-13 months. An excellent skin graft take rate with a satisfying aesthetic result without local malignancy recurrence was noted. Minimal functional deficit and donor site morbidity were reported. Results: A staged operation with acellular dermal matrix coverage and subsequent skin graft proves to serve as a feasible strategy for patients who experience total nail bed, germinal matrix loss, and bone exposure after surgery. Conclusions: This reconstruction method provides a reliable repair result, satisfying aesthetic outcomes, as well as having minimal functional deficits and donor site morbidity.

Background and Objectives: The tie-over bolster technique has been conventionally used for skin graft fixation; however, long operative times and postoperative pain are the main disadvantages of this method. In this study, we introduce a new method using vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) with a silicon-based dressing as an alternative for skin graft fixation. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical effect of the VAC plus silicon-based dressing method and the conventional tie-over bolster technique for skin graft fixation in terms of pain, operative time, and skin graft take rate. Materials and Methods: Sixty patients who underwent skin graft surgery performed by a single surgeon from January 2017 to October 2018 were included in this clinical study. They were divided into two groups based on the type of treatment: tie-over bolster technique and vacuum-assisted closure (VAC), or silicon-based dressing groups. The operative times were recorded twice (during suturing or stapling of the graft and during removal of the dressing) in the two groups; similarly, pain was assessed using a numeric rating scale (NRS) after surgery and during dressing removal. Skin graft take rate was evaluated two weeks after dressing removal. Results: Twenty-six patients who met the eligibility criteria were enrolled into the study and assigned to one of the two groups (n = 13 each). No significant differences in age, gender, and graft area were noted between the two groups of patients. The VAC plus silicon-based dressing group demonstrated higher skin graft take rates (p < 0.05), shorter operation times (p < 0.05), and lower levels of pain (postoperative pain and pain during dressing removal) compared with the tie-over bolster technique group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: These findings indicate that VAC with silicon-based dressing can be used for skin graft fixation due to its superior properties when compared with the conventional method, and can improve the quality of life of patients undergoing skin graft fixation.

Nd:YAG laser has been used extensively for its versatility in treating many common aesthetic problems, but numerous adverse effects are often complained by recipients of Nd:YAG laser. This study introduces the ANT1 soybean extract cream, which was formulated to alleviate adverse effects after laser therapy. This study explores whether ANT1 enhances the repair mechanism of the postlaser skin, decreases laser-induced complication, and shortens recovery time. The study also aims to pinpoint the ANT1 concentration that is most effective in improving the skin condition after Nd-YAG laser therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients eligible for the study were Asian women, aged 25 to 40 years, who were free of dermatological diseases and allergic reaction. There were a total of 45 subjects. Each subject received a session of Nd-YAG laser therapy every 2 weeks, totaling 3 sessions. Facial skin assessment was achieved via VISIA complexion analysis. VISIA complexion analysis quantitatively assessed the skin condition and tracked the recovery progress of each subject at baseline, immediately after all 3 laser sessions, and a week after the final laser treatment. RESULTS: Skin condition was evaluated by VISIA complexion analysis. Skin condition was recorded in aspects of pigmented spots, wrinkles, texture, pores, and red area. After Nd-YAG laser therapy, postlaser inflammation was observed in all subjects. Throughout the laser sessions and the outpatient follow-up clinic, the adverse effects of laser therapy, such as redness, spots, wrinkles, pores, and textures, decreased with the use of ANT1 cream. There has been a marked effect in wrinkle reduction in the patients who received a higher concentration of ANT1 cream (P ≤ 0.05). Statistically significant improvement in spots and pores is also seen (P ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Through this study, the results suggest that the application of ANT1 soybean extract cream ameliorates the complications and enhances the cosmetic effects of Nd-YAG laser therapy. A higher concentration of the ANT1 cream significantly reduces wrinkles and redness after laser. All in all, this study proves that the ANT1 soy extract cream may be a useful addition to postlaser care for an overall enhancement in skin condition and recovery.

Accurate assessment of wound areas is crucial in making therapeutic decisions, as the prognosis and changes in the size of the wound over time play a significant role. An ideal assessment method should possess qualities such as speed, affordability, accuracy, user-friendliness for both patients and healthcare professionals, and suitability for daily clinical practice. This study aims to introduce a handheld 3-dimensional (3D) scanner and evaluate its accuracy in measuring wound areas. Engineers from the Industrial Technology Research Institute in Taiwan developed a handheld 3D scanner with the intention of extending its application to the medical field. A project was conducted to validate the accuracy of this 3D scanner. We utilized a smartphone (Asus ZenFone 2 with a 13-million-pixel rear camera), a digital single-lens reflex digital camera (Nikon, D5000, Tokyo, Japan), and the 3D scanner to repeatedly measure square papers of known size that were affixed to the curved surface of life-size facial mask or medical teaching breast models. The "Image J" software was employed for 2-dimensional image measurements, while the "3D Edit" software was used to assess the "area of interest" on 3D objects. By using square papers with predetermined dimensions, the measurement-associated error rate (ER) could be calculated for each image. Three repeated measurements were performed using the "Image J" software for each square paper. The ERs of the 3D scan images were all below 3%, with an average ER of 1.64% in this study. The close-up mode of the smartphone exhibited the highest ER. It was observed that as the area increased, the ER also increased in the digital single-lens reflex camera group. The extension distortion effect caused by the wide-angle lens on the smartphone may increase the ER. However, the definition of a healthy skin edge may vary, and different algorithms for calculating the measurement area are employed in various 3D measurement software. Therefore, further validation of their accuracy for medical purposes is necessary. Effective communication with software engineers and discussions on meeting clinical requirements are crucial steps in enhancing the functionality of the 3D scanner.

BACKGROUND: The potential of biodegradable magnesium (Mg) skin staple has recently garnered widespread attention due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility rather than traditional stainless steel staples, the most commonly used in current clinical practice. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and mechanical properties of a novel biodegradable Mg skin staple. METHODS: A prototype of Mg skin staple was designed using a novel ZK60 Mg alloy. The mechanical properties of the staple were evaluated using a universal testing machine. The cytotoxicity of the staple was examined in vitro and the efficacy of the staple in wound closure was assessed in New Zealand rabbits for one and three weeks, respectively. RESULTS: The tensile strength of this Mg alloy is 258.4 MPa with 6.9% elongation. The treatment of HaCaT and L929 cells with the staple extract resulted in over 95% cell viability, indicating no cytotoxicity. In vivo, no tissue irritation was observed. No difference was found in wound healing between the Mg skin staple and the stainless steel staple after one and three weeks in the cutting wound on the back of rabbits. Some Mg skin staples spontaneously dislodged from the skin within three weeks, while others were easily removed. CONCLUSION: Our results confirm the safety, biocompatibility, and functionality of the novel Mg skin staple in wound closure. The efficacy of the staple in wound closure was demonstrated to be as effectively as conventional staples, with the added benefit of decreased long-term retention of skin staples in the wounds.

Skin avulsion wounds are expected to be swollen and tense after trauma, and skin perfusion can be compromised after primary closure, resulting in wound dehiscence and poor healing. The artificial dermis (AD) serves as a dermal regeneration template that is used to heal skin defects with secondary intention. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of AD application on traumatic skin avulsion injuries compared to conventional primary closure. A retrospective cohort of 20 patients with skin avulsion injuries were included the study: ten patients were treated with AD and ten patients were managed with primary closure. When compared to the primary closure group, AD group had a shorter average healing time (58.40 ± 26.94 days V 65.50 ± 46.45 days) and significantly higher flap viability (92.00 ± 13.17% V 78.00 ± 13.98%; p = .03). In conclusion, AD is a promising material for the treatment of skin avulsion injury and produces better clinical results.
RESUMO
Impaired wound healing and especially the "all-too-common" occurrence of associated diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are becoming an increasingly urgent and deteriorating healthcare issue, which drastically impact the quality of life and further heighten the risks of infection and amputation in patients with diabetes mellitus. Amongst the multifactorial wound healing determinants, glycemic dysregulation has been identified to be the primary casual factor of poor wound healing. Unfortunately, current therapeutic modalities merely serve as moderate symptomatic relieves but often fail to completely restore the wound site to its pre-injury state and prevent further recurrence. Stem cell-based therapeutics have been employed for its promising potential to address the root of the problem as they not only exhibit the capacity for self-renewal and differentiation towards multiple lineages, but also have been disclosed to participate in mediating variant growth factors and cytokines. Herein we review the current literatures on the therapeutic benefits of using various kinds of stem cells, including embryonic stem cells (ESCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) in diabetic wound healing by searching on the PubMed® Database for publications. This study shall serve as an overview of the current body of research with particular focus on autologous ASCs and the laboratory expandable iPSCs in hope of shedding more light on this attractive therapy so as to elevate the efficacy of wound healing that is almost always compromised in diabetic patients.
RESUMO
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare yet serious progressive disorder that is currently incurable. This female-predominant disease unfolds as a pan-vasculopathy that affects all layers of the vessel wall. Five classes of pharmacological agents currently exist to target the three major cellular signaling pathways identified in PAH but are incapable of effectively reversing the disease progression. While several targets have been identified for therapy, none of the current PAH specific therapies are curative and cost-effective as they fail to reverse vascular remodeling and do not address the cancer-like features of PAH. Our purpose is to review the current literature on the therapeutic management of PAH, as well as the molecular targets under consideration for therapy so as to shed light on the potential role and future promise of novel strategies in treating this high-mortality disease. This review study summarizes and discusses the potential therapeutic targets to be employed against PAH. In addition to the three major conventional pathways already used in PAH therapy, targeting PDGF/PDGFR signaling, regulators in glycolytic metabolism, PI3K/AKT pathways, mitochondrial heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), and bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins by using their specific inhibitors, or a pharmacological induction of the p53 expression, could be attractive strategies for treating PAH.
RESUMO
RATIONALE: Currently, there is no consensus regarding the best treatment for patients with thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO). Regenerative medicine, such as bone marrow stem cells or adipose-derived stem cell (ASC) transplantation, have proven efficacy in improving tissue perfusion and wound healing in clinical trials. In this case, we used nanofat grafting to treat severe conditions in a patient with TAO, with promising outcomes. PATIENT CONCERNS: This is a case of a 48-year-old smoker who presented with cyanosis in both hands and the right foot, with gangrenous changes. Investigative angiography showed severe vasospasm in the radial and ulnar arteries of the patient's left hand. Progressive cyanosis of the patient's left hand was noted which may eventually require amputation if left untreated. DIAGNOSES: He was diagnosed with TAO under the Shionoya diagnostic criteria. INTERVENTIONS: Fasciotomy and necrotic tissue debridement were performed, followed by centrifuged nanofat grafting. The nanofat graft was prepared using Pallua method and deployed with a MAFT-GUN (Dermato Plastica Beauty Co., Ltd., Kaohsiung, Taiwan). OUTCOMES: Three months later, computed tomography angiography revealed a radial artery patency. The patient's wrist function was preserved with uneventful wound healing. LESSONS: The regenerative ability of centrifuged nanofat grafts not only helps wound healing but also helps reverse vasospasm and preserve remnant tissue perfusion.
