In recent years, natural polymers such as cellulose, alginate and chitosan have been used worldwide biomedical materials devices, they offer more advantages over synthetic polymers. The aim of this study was to clarify the usefulness microbial cellulose (MC) for use a dressing scaffold material. For evaluating biodegradability toxicity MC, we divided rats ( n = 12) into two groups (the implanted group non‐implanted group). group, film type MC in backs six rats. however, did not implant Four...

Background The erbium:yttrium scandium gallium garnet (Er:YSGG) laser differs from other techniques by having a faster and higher cure rate. Since the Er:YSGG causes an appropriate proportion of ablation coagulation, it has advantages over conventional carbon dioxide (CO2) erbium-doped yttrium aluminum (Er:YAG) laser, including heating tendencies explosive vaporization. This research was conducted to explore effects safety laser. Methods Twenty patients participated in pilot study...

The epicanthal fold (Mongolian fold) in Asians reduces the aesthetic results of eyelid surgery, and thus, medial epicanthoplasty is commonly performed combination with a double operation or blepharoptosis correction. Epicanthoplasty one most popular cosmetic operations conducted Asia, but scarring common problem.From December 2006 to July 2011, we treated 60 cases using our method, which was designed reduce scarring. A correction along 54 an without remaining 6 cases. Follow-up periods...

Introduction Despite successful breast reconstruction with oversized latissimus dorsi muscle flap after breast-conserving surgery for cancer, esthetic problems continue to exist due shrinkage. The purpose of this study was evaluate the objective volume change pedicled when it is used in reconstruction. Methods Patients who were diagnosed cancer and underwent a immediate myocutaneous between October 2009 November 2015 studied. Eleven patients followed up more than 1 year operation included...

Cryolipolysis, a preferred method for minimally invasive body contouring, involves the noninvasive cooling of adipocytes to induce lipolysis without damaging other tissues. This study aimed evaluate safety and efficacy cryolipolysis treatment excessive fat tissue.Between May 2014 December 2017, 231 patients with 448 areas interest were enrolled their records retrospectively reviewed. We used five different vacuum applicators, best-fitting applicator was each area. One cycle applied at...

There have been many reports of nasal bone fractures in adults, but there are few clinical them adolescents, although adolescence is the main growth period bone. In addition, previous studies tended to classify and describe child adolescent same category. The aim this study was identify aspects evaluate characteristics period.Our institution's database reviewed extract data on patients between age 13 18 who had isolated from March 2012 February 2020. excluded with other facial fractures, or...

The evaluation of a breast after reconstruction depends on surgeon's subjective criteria. We used computed tomography (CT) scans to obtain an objective the postoperative results by measuring volume patients who had undergone using pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flaps. This research will help in reconstructed breasts, and also preoperative flap size designs.A total 27 underwent TRAM flaps mastectomy from September 2007 July 2010. Of these, 10 were followed up CT 2 or...

Currently, the most commonly used injection fillers are broadly classified into hyaluronic acid-based absorbable and semi-permanent fillers. Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) is as a filler manufactured under diverse brands including Aquamid, Bio-alcamid, Interfall, Outline, Formacryl, Bioformacryl, Argiform, Amagingel.

Lowe syndrome is a rare genetic disease that appears to cause various clinical symptoms involving the eye, nervous system, and kidney. While mutation of OCRL1 gene known be responsible for this syndrome, exact pathophysiology remains unclear. Various multi-organ are characteristic but skin lesions have rarely been described. Recently, mechanisms association proposed. We report case multiple epidermal cysts on scalp in 6-year-old male child.

Treatments for severe blepharoptosis are well documented and include the most common operations restoring upper eyelid ptosis, which levator surgery frontal muscle transfers; however, choice of treatment is still controversial. There different approaches to restoration will be based on ptosis severity surgeon's skill experience.Two hundred fourteen patients presenting with a function between 2 4 mm received correction 1991 2010 at our clinic. Of these, 71 underwent Müller aponeurosis...

The standard treatment of nasal bone fractures in pediatric patients is closed reduction. Conservative sometimes performed, but poses a risk deformity. aim this study was to evaluate the outcomes remodeling fractures.Information extracted from medical records under 12 years age who received conservative for fracture and underwent follow-up computed tomography (CT) examinations. initial its over time were graded as excellent, good, or fair according malalignment, displacement, irregularity...

Background Eye measurements in Koreans have been studied extensively, but researchers reported widely differing values, even for the same parameters. These discrepancies are likely due to inconsistencies proportions of subjects with double eyelids included their studies. We retrospectively eye according presence or absence eyelids, and compared results those previous Methods conducted anthropometric eyes young (20–29 years) Korean women no congenital malformation, trauma, surgery eyelids....

Myocutaneous flaps are composed of muscle and fat portions, exhibit volume changes with time. However, no consideration is generally given to portions occurring in the flap. Therefore, we conducted this study analyze pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous over time.Sixteen patients who underwent breast reconstruction using a flap between 2009 2017 were enrolled study. Using their postoperative computed tomography scan data, measured flap, performed statistical analysis We also on opposite...

Hemophilia B is a rare blood coagulation disorder. Complications such as bleeding and hematoma can cause necrosis of flaps, wound disruption, the disturbance healing. In particular, guidelines for flap operations in hemophilia patients have still not been defined, case reports are rare. We reconstructed heel 41-year-old male patient using reverse sural artery operation. The presented with mild hemophilia, having 27% normal value factor IX. Coagulation changing were regularly measured, 70% IX...

Background Pediatric nasal fractures, unlike adult are treated surgically as early 7 days after the initial trauma. However, in some cases, a week or more elapses before surgery, and few studies have investigated consequences of delayed surgery for pediatric fractures. The purpose this study was to evaluate postoperative outcomes fractures according time interval between trauma surgery. Methods records patients under 12 years old who underwent closed reduction bone fracture from March 2012...

Background Increasingly, prophylactic mastectomy has been evaluated as a treatment of breast cancer. Hereditary cancer now accounts for approximately 5%–10% all cases cancer, meaning that the widespread implementation may significantly reduce occurrence However, is rarely performed in Korea. Therefore, this study, we assessed Koreans' attitudes toward and awareness preventive mastectomy. Methods This was prospective study cohort patients attending outpatient clinics their relatives.

Methods: survey was conducted 10 randomly selected cases fractures among 46 3D computed tomography (CT) during past one year. It...

Sir:FigureThe goal of breast reconstruction is to have the that had lesion resemble preoperative breast. For this, symmetry both breasts needs be satisfied. To satisfy following reconstruction, an accurate size flap inserted has considered for reconstruction. However, changes in volume occur with time flaps.1 Amir et al. determined actual flap, which was calculated from plus additional 10 percent its volume.2 quantitative measurement during follow-up not yet been reported after by flap....
