Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary stage IV breast cancer is associated with a poor prognosis. At present, the value of local surgical treatment for patients with stage IV breast cancer remains uncertain; therefore, treatment principles remain controversial. Because of the high heterogeneity of these patients, it is often difficult to evaluate their prognoses. As a result, this study aimed to establish a prognostic nomogram to evaluate the prognosis of patients with breast cancer experiencing primary bone metastasis. METHODS The clinical characteristics and follow-up data of patients with primary breast cancer and bone metastasis from 2010 to 2018 were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database and from 2013 to 2021 at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Patients were divided into training and validation groups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify the independent prognostic variables for predicting cancer-specific survival (CSS). On the basis of these independent risk factors, a nomogram was developed and used calibration curves to evaluate its accuracy. Patients were divided into three risk groups according to their scores and surgery-related survival curves plotted using the log-rank test. RESULTS Overall, 6372 patients were included, with 6319 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database and 53 from the Peking Union Medical College Hospital Breast Surgery Department. Multivariate analysis showed that age, race, marital status, grade, tumor stage, estrogen receptor status, progesterone receptor status, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status, and burden of other metastatic lesions were all associated with CSS. Based on these results, a nomogram that predicted the 1-, 3-, and 5-year CSS rates in patients with primary breast cancer and bone metastasis (concordance index > 0.69) was developed. After dividing patients into low-risk, high-risk, or super-high-risk groups based on nomogram scoring criteria, survival analysis revealed that patients in the low- and high-risk groups had significant survival benefits from primary focal surgery. CONCLUSION Independent risk factors for primary breast cancer in patients with bone metastasis were analyzed and a nomogram established to predict CSS. The prognostic tool derived in this study can assist clinicians in predicting the survival and surgical benefits of these patients through scoring, thereby providing further guidance for treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly heterogeneous and clinically aggressive disease. Accumulating evidence indicates that tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) and tumor budding (TB) are significantly correlated with the outcomes of patients who have TNBC, but no integrated TLS-TB profile has been established to predict their survival. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the TLS/TB ratio and clinical outcomes of patients with TNBC using artificial intelligence (AI)-based analysis. METHODS The infiltration levels of TLSs and TB were evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin staining, immunohistochemistry staining, and AI-based analysis. Various cellular subtypes within TLS were determined by multiplex immunofluorescence. Subsequently, the authors established a nomogram model, conducted calibration curve analyses, and performed decision curve analyses using R software. RESULTS In both the training and validation cohorts, the antitumor/protumor model established by the authors demonstrated a positive correlation between the TLS/TB index and the overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) of patients with TNBC. Notably, patients who had a high percentage of CD8-positive T cells, CD45RO-positive T cells, or CD20-positive B cells within the TLSs experienced improved OS and RFS. Furthermore, the authors developed a comprehensive TLS-TB profile nomogram based on the TLS/TB index. This novel model outperformed the classical tumor-lymph node-metastasis staging system in predicting the OS and RFS of patients with TNBC. CONCLUSIONS A novel strategy for predicting the prognosis of patients with TNBC was established through integrated AI-based analysis and a machine-learning workflow. The TLS/TB index was identified as an independent prognostic factor for TNBC. This nomogram-based TLS-TB profile would help improve the accuracy of predicting the prognosis of patients who have TNBC.

Abstract
Voices can convey content, emotion, and essential information about an individual's gender and social information. Closely related to gender identification and sexual attraction, voices also positively affect many psychological factors of individuals. Surgeries have evolved from treating congenital diseases to fulfilling an individual's aesthetic needs for voice. Voice shaping is emerging as the next cosmetic surgery hotspot after skincare and appearance and body shaping. This paper summarizes the development of voice pitch shaping and genderization procedures out of the cosmetic need.

Abstract
Phage therapy is one of the most important tools for the treatment of infections with multi-drug resistant bacteria. Such phages are usually isolated from hospital effluents, however, no systematic study on the distribution of phages in hospital effluents has been conducted so far. The aim of this study was to isolate the corresponding phages of common pathogenic bacteria isolated in the clinic as hosts, so as to assess the ecological distribution of phages in hospital wastewater and to provide a reference for the isolation and application of phages of drug-resistant bacteria in the clinic. A cross-sectional study design was used in this study. The 125 pathogenic bacteria (belonging to 16 different strains) isolated from the clinical microbiology laboratory of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from May to June 2023 were selected as the target strains, and the phages corresponding to these strains were isolated and purified from the hospital wastewater by using the double-layer plate sandwich method. At the same time, the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in the same batch of wastewater was analyzed with the help of mNGS sequencing technology, so as to preliminarily investigate the abundance correspondence between pathogenic bacteria and phages in wastewater. The results showed that a total of 56 phage strains were isolated from 125 clinical pathogens as hosts, corresponding to six pathogens, including Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. All six pathogenic bacteria contained strains with different degrees of drug resistance, with a higher percentage of multi-drug resistant strains in A. baumannii, Escherichia coli and P. aeruginosa. The phage acquisition rates of these six pathogens were, in descending order, Escherichia coli (80%), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (75%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (70%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (66.67%), Acinetobacter baumannii (36.36%) and Staphylococcus aureus (12.5%). Preliminary mNGS sequencing results showed that the pathogenic bacteria with higher abundance in the batch of effluent were Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella aerogenes, Klebsiella michiganensis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In conclusion, phages of most common clinical Gram-negative pathogens were isolated from hospital wastewater with high isolation rates; however, phages of Gram-positive pathogens were isolated at lower rates, and only phages corresponding to Staphylococcus aureus were isolated in this study. The corresponding mNGS sequencing results showed that the distribution of Gram-negative pathogens in sewage may had a positive correlation with the ecological distribution of phages.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report two cases of dermal filler hypersensitivity post-COVID-19 illness and review the literature. METHODS A literature review was performed. Data were extracted from the articles: the author, year of publication, age and sex of the patient, filler substance, injection site, symptoms and signs, onset time, diagnostic results, treatment, and prognosis. RESULTS Six cases from six literatures were included in the review. All of them were female and were confirmed infected with COVID-19. Five of them received hyaluronic acid injection and one patient received polyacrylamide. Time after injection ranged from 8 months to 9 years. Onset of symptoms ranged from two to four weeks post-infection. The clinical manifestations included swelling, edema, induration, erythema, and tenderness. The site where the symptoms appeared was the injection site, and symptoms appeared at each injection site at the same time, including cheeks, periocular area, and lips. CONCLUSION Dermal filler hypersensitivity may occur post-COVID-19 illness. A detailed history and clinical examination can help confirm the diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic scars (HS) cause functional impairment and cosmetic deformities following surgeries or burns (30% to 94%). There is no target therapy yet because the pathogenesis of HS progression is not well-known. In tissue fibrosis, Zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) abnormal upregulation is an important cause for extracellular matrix (ECM) overexpression, which is the main molecular change in HS. Therefore, we hypothesized that ZEB1-knockdown inhibits HS formation. METHODS ZEB1 expression in human HS and TGF-β1-induced fibroblasts were identified by PCR and western blotting. ZEB1 was knockdown by siRNA in HS fibroblasts (HSFs) and mouse HS model (C57/BL6, male, 8-12 weeks). After 8-hour-transfection, HSFs were subjected to PCR, western blotting and CCK-8, apoptosis, migration and contraction assays. Mice HS were analyzed by HE staining, PCR and western blotting after 56 days. RESULTS ZEB1 was upregulated in HS tissue (2.0-fold; p < 0.001). ZEB1 knockdown inhibited HSFs activity (0.6 to 0.7-fold; p < 0.001), the expression of fibrotic markers (0.4 to 0.6-fold; p < 0.001) and β-catenin, cyclinD1 and c-Myc expression (0.5-fold; p < 0.001). In mouse HS models, HS skin thickness was thinner (1.60 ± 0.40 mm vs. 4.04 ± 0.36 mm; p < 0.001) after ZEB1 knockdown. CONCLUSIONS Knockdown of ZEB1 inhibits HS formation both in vitro and in vivo. However, this is an in vitro/mouse model and more validation is needed. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The discovery of ZEB1 as a mediator of HS formation might be a potential therapeutic target in HS treatment.

Abstract
Thromboembolism is a crucial part of the global disease burden. It has high incidence, high mortality and disability rates, and the mechanism of occurrence and development is extremely complex. It is difficult to detect the disease in the early stage so that we have trouble with clinical prevention and treatment in general. At present, four items of blood coagulation and D-dimer have been widely used in the evaluation and auxiliary diagnosis of thromboembolism, the monitoring of effect for antithrombotic drugs and other fields. The thrombus biomarkers including thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), thrombomodulin (TM), tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex (t-PAIC) and α2-plasmin inhibitor-plasmin complex (PIC) fill the gap of laboratory diagnosis before clinical symptoms appear in some degree. This article aims to explain the current application status of TAT, TM, t-PAIC and PIC in thromboembolism and explore their potential application value, so as to provide a reference for selecting appropriate early monitoring indicators for high-risk population of thromboembolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Localized scleroderma (LS) is characterized by skin fibrosis, hyperpigmentation and soft tissue atrophy. Fat grafting has been widely used to correct LS deformity. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of fat grafting on the skin pigmentation of LS lesions. METHODS A prospective self-controlled study was conducted. Skin melanin and erythema indexes were measured by Mexameter® MX18 before and 3 months after surgery. Differences between lesions and contralateral normal sites were compared to evaluate changes induced by fat grafting. Localized Scleroderma Cutaneous Assessment Tool and PUMC Localized Scleroderma Facial Aesthetic Index were used for clinical evaluation. RESULTS Fourteen frontal linear LS patients participated in the study. Before surgery, the melanin index of the lesions was significantly higher than the contralateral sites (p = 0.023), while the erythema indexes were not significantly different (p = 0.426). Three months post-operation, the melanin index of the lesions significantly decreased (p = 0.008). There was no significant change in the erythema index of the lesions before and after fat grafting (p = 0.322). The LoSCAT and PUMC LSFAI scores demonstrated improved disease condition and facial esthetics after surgery. CONCLUSION Fat grafting could alleviate skin hyperpigmentation and skin damage of LS lesions while having little effect on skin erythema and disease activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with localized scleroderma (LS) often have to seek plastic surgery to improve facial esthetic impairment. AIMS The authors reported a case of the reactivation of LS after autologous fat grafting (AFG). PATIENT A man presented with facial atrophy and skin fibrosis on the cheek with a history of LS. The disease had remained stable for 9 years and he was suggested to stop oral medication. With irreversible esthetic impairment on the face, he sought plastic surgery for improvement. He underwent twice AFG into the right cheek with about 60 mL fat graft each. The donor sites were the abdomen and both thighs. RESULTS Six months after the last AFG, the patient found new lesions occur on the lateral forehead. The patient was later diagnosed with reactivation of LS. CONCLUSION The understanding of the surgical risk and perioperative management for patients with LS needs more research.

Abstract
Sweet sorghum silage (SS; Sorghum dochna 'Dochna') has been extensively studied in recent years as a supplementary forage-to-corn silage (CS; Zea mays L.), but there are still relatively few studies on its effects on the rumen environment of sheep. Determining the short-term impact of converting roughage from corn straws to SS compared to CS on rumen fermentation and bacterial population dynamics was the main goal of the current study. Twelve female thin-tailed Han sheep (29.8 ± 1.34 kg) were randomly divided into one of two treatments: concentrate supplemented with SS or CS, respectively. During the 15-day pretest period, concentrate was fed in two separate feedings at 0800 h and 1800 h, and ensure that the animals were all consumed within an hour of being fed. Thereafter, the animals had free access to corn straw. The feeding procedures during the pretest period were the same as during the measurement period. Rumen fluid was collected via sheep esophageal tube on the last day of adaptation phase (1-7 days) and stabilisation phase (8-30 days), respectively. The results showed that there was a similarity in the total concentration of VFA (volatile fatty acid) and the proportions of acetate, propionate, butyrate, and branched-chain VFA (P > 0.05) and microbial diversity indices (P > 0.05) between the two silage groups throughout the experimental period. The concentration of Ammonia nitrogen (P = 0.001) and proportion of valerate (P = 0.028) decreased in the CS and SS groups, respectively. The abundance and predicted function of rumen bacteria in the SS group did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) between the two measurement phases. However, the abundance of Prevotella_1 (P = 0.038) was higher in the CS group than in the SS group at 7 d. The abundances of Firmicutes (P = 0.005) and Ruminococcaceae_NK4A214_group (P = 0.002) increased, while the abundances of Bacteroidetes (P = 0.044), Proteobacteria (P = 0.046), and Prevotella_1 (P = 0.009) decreased in the CS group at 30 d. Genes related to pyruvate metabolism (P = 0.020) were significantly higher at 30 d than at 7 d, whereas purine metabolism (P = 0.007), pyrimidine metabolism (P = 0.007), and metabolic pathways (P = 0.010) were lower at 30 d in the CS group. In conclusion, this study indicated that SS maintained a steady rumen environment, while CS caused high fluctuations in bacterial abundance and predicted function for sheep.

Abstract
Introduction Mandibular distraction osteogenesis, a recommended therapy for hemifacial microsomia, has brought much agony because of its traumatic procedures and peri-osteotomy complications. Our study aims to retrospectively compare piezoelectric osteotome with conventional reciprocal bone saw for hemifacial microsomia patients and validate its meliority in operability, surgical risks and patient outcomes. Methods All patients included underwent osteotomies conducted by either piezosurgery or bone saw. Information of intraoperative blood loss, operation duration, postoperative pain and complications was collected from patient files, ward round inspections and follow-ups. Results Among all 40 patients, 13 underwent piezo-osteotomy. Piezosurgery performed better than conventional reciprocal bone saw in decreasing intraoperative blood loss (p < 0.001) and operation duration (p = 0.030). No significant difference was found in hospitalization duration, total expenses or complication rates between two groups. There were positive relations between operation duration and intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.042), and between hospitalization duration and total expenses (p = 0.0096). Postoperative pain scores of both groups declined over time while the piezosurgery group had a statistically significant tendency (p = 0.006) to suffer less than the conventional group. Discussion Piezosurgery diminishes intraoperative blood loss, operative duration, and postoperative pain, making an alternative to conventional osteotomes to mitigate patients' and families' peri-osteotomy sufferings, and a more humane solution to HFM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-fat retention induced by inflammation limits the clinical application of fat grafting for treating localized scleroderma (LS) patients. Novel methods to improve the therapeutic outcome are needed. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-assisted fat transplantation on skin fibrosis and adipose survival in the LS model. METHODS The LS model was established by the injection of bleomycin into BALB/C nude mice, which were randomly divided into the following 4 groups: healthy control, LS disease group model, fat transplantation group, and PRP+ fat transplantation group. The mice received a subcutaneous injection at back with phosphate-buffered saline, fat, or 20% PRP+ fat. Factors of immunoregulation, angiogenesis and adipogenesis were measured. RESULTS Platelet-rich plasma-combined fat transplantation significantly attenuated dermis fibrosis by reducing the production of type III collagen. The fat retention in the PRP+ fat transplantation group was 43 ± 4 mg, significantly higher than 22 ± 15 mg in the fat transplantation group (P = 0.0416). The level of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 2 showed no significant difference between the groups. The expression of angiogenesis factors, vascular endothelial growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and CD31, significantly increased in the PRP+ fat transplantation group. The expression of adipogenesis factors, insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, anti-CCAAT-enhancer-binding proteins, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, also significantly increased in the PRP+ fat transplantation group. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrated that PRP-combined fat transplantation attenuated dermis fibrosis and raised fat survival in the LS model by promoting angiogenesis and adipogenesis through insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor/extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) has been shown to vary depending on injection layer, reconstitution volumes, and BoNT-A formulations, the impact of injection patterns has been rarely mentioned. This article compared the therapeutic effects in patients treated with BoNT-A with retrograde linear and traditional spot injection techniques. METHODS Twenty-eight participants were enrolled in a split-face, patient-blinded randomized clinical trial. Each patient received BoNT-A injected with linear injection technique on one side and with spot injection technique on the other side. Outcomes included the wrinkle improvement rates (WIR) of the two injection techniques determined by the wrinkle scores derived from Antera 3D camera, the muscle activity assessed via ultrasound, and patient-reported pain rating on a numeric pain rating scale (NRS). RESULTS All participants completed the study. For forehead wrinkles, WIR on the linear side was significantly larger than that on the spot side at 1 week and 1 month (p<0.02). For glabellar wrinkles, WIR on the linear injection side was significantly larger than that on the spot side at 1 week (p=0.04). However, for periorbital wrinkles, WIR on the spot side was significantly larger than that on the linear side at 1 week (p<0.03). No significant difference was observed between the injection patterns in terms of muscle contraction and NRS scores. CONCLUSIONS Compared with the traditional spot injection, the retrograde linear injection shows to be superior in reducing forehead lines and glabellar lines, but less effective in reducing periorbital lines when identical dosages were injected.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the factors that patients consider when choosing plastic surgeons and investigate patients' attitudes toward physicians' aesthetic ability and their adherence toward same-gender physicians. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted. All patients who presented for evaluation and management between January and April 2022 were eligible for study enrolment. Data collected include demographical information and specific questions related to choosing plastic surgeons, including physician's education, surgical ability, research, title, appearance, dress, age, aesthetics, the patient's preference for physicians' gender, and the way of learning about physicians. RESULTS 1006 valid respondents participated, and the average age was 46.44 ± 15.51 years old (participation rate 99.60%). 72.5% were female. Plastic surgery history (OR 3.242, 95%CI: 1.664-6.317, p = 0.001), education (OR 1.895, 95%CI: 1.064-3.375, p = 0.030), income (OR 1.340, 95%CI: 1.026-1.750, p = 0.032), sexual orientation (OR 1.662, 95%CI: 1.066-2.589, p = 0.025), and concern for the physicians' appearance (OR 1.564, 95%CI: 1.160-2.107, p = 0.003) were significantly associated with patients' tendency to value physicians' aesthetic ability. Marital status (OR 0.766, 95% CI: 0.616-0.951, p = 0.016), income (OR 0.896,95% CI: 0.811-0.990, p = 0.031), the attention to physicians' age (OR 1.191,95% CI: 1.031-1.375, p = 0.017), and the attention to physicians' aesthetic ability (OR 0.775,95% CI: 0.666-0.901, p = 0.001) were significantly associated with the respondents' same-gender adherence degree. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that patients with plastic surgery history, higher income, higher education background, and more diverse sexual orientation paid more attention to physicians' aesthetic ability. Marriage and income would affect the same-gender adherence degree, which would further influence patients' attention to the doctor's age and aesthetic ability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple muscles contribute to the formation of dorsal nasal lines (DNL) and affect nasal aesthetics. Few attempts have been made to explore the distribution difference of DNL in relation to injection planning. OBJECTIVES The authors aim to classify the distribution types of DNL and propose a refined injection technique validated by clinical study and cadaver dissection. METHODS Patients were classified into four types according to the distribution types of DNL. Botulinum toxin type A injections were administrated at six regular points and two optional points. The effect on wrinkle reduction was assessed. Patient satisfaction was recorded. Cadaver dissection was conducted to explore the anatomical evidence of the variations of DNL. RESULTS The study included 349 treatments in 320 patients (269 females and 51 males), whose DNL were classified into complex type, horizontal type, oblique type, and vertical type. The severity of DNL was significantly reduced after treatment. Most patients were satisfied. From the cadaver study, connecting muscular fibers were clearly observed among the muscles involved in the formation of DNL, and these muscles were collectively named as dorsal nasal complex (DNC) by the authors. Four anatomical variations of DNC were discovered, corroborating the classification system of DNL. CONCLUSIONS A novel anatomical concept "Dorsal Nasal Complex" and a classification system of DNL were proposed. Each of the four distribution types of DNL corresponds to a specific anatomical variation of DNC. A refined injection technique for DNL was developed, and its efficacy and safety were demonstrated.

Abstract
The abdominal skin is not a common area for keloid formation. The knowledge of laparoscopically induced keloids (LIK) remains little. This article aimed to review the case series of LIK and analyse the characteristics. A retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. Patients' clinical records in the database were collected, including the demographics, medical history, laparoscopic surgery information, keloid information, and the severity of LIKs recorded using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale. Twenty-four LIK patients were enrolled. 18 patients were female and 10 had chronic diseases. 11 patients had non-LIKs. 91.6% patients received laparoscopic cholecystectomy. LIKs were mainly located under the xiphoid process (N = 20), followed by the umbilicus (N = 16). 41.7% patients developed keloids at all trocha sites. The severity of the LIK was significantly negatively associated with the presence of the non-LIK. Laparoscopic procedures could lead to the formation of keloids. Two types of LIKs were noticed: extended incisions induced long "spreading" type and trocha induced round bulging type. The presence of non-LIKs could significantly reduce the severity of LIKs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dorsal contour deformity presents with different manifestations in each part of the back, such as back rolls, iliac crest deposit, and buffalo hump. However, scant current literature exists on the anatomical basis of dorsal contour deformity. The aim of this study is to better understand the anatomical characteristics of the back, in order to propose evidence-based zoning principles for liposuction-assisted back contouring. METHOD A total of 12 fresh cadavers were dissected for observation of each hierarchy in the vertical order (skin-to-deep fascia) and transverse comparison of the superficial fascial system (SFS) in the scapular-infrascapular-lumbar triangle region. Full-dorsum vectorial sections were used for the study of suprascapular fat deposits. RESULTS The SFS acts as a bridge connecting all levels of the dorsal subcutaneous tissue. Macroscopically, it is denser in the scapular and lumbar triangle regions and looser in the infrascapular region, and microscopically, the ultrastructure of the retinaculum cutis consists of loose interlobular fascia and stiff functional fascia. CONCLUSION The regional variation pattern of the SFS in the back was consistent with observed back contour deformities in Asian females. A better understanding of the topographic anatomy of the back applied to evidenced zoning is the basis for improving surgical precision and avoiding dorsal contour deformity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A simple procedure using a nipple retractor to correct inverted nipples has been applied in clinical practice with stable and satisfactory aesthetic outcomes. Nipple ulceration and necrosis are rare and severe, with the causes unclear. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for the development of nipple ulcers in the nipple retractor technique. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on inverted nipple patients between January 2012 and September 2021. Clinical information, including baseline patient demographics, reproductive history, smoking, previous treatment, nipple inversion grades, nipple size, areola size, blood flow perfusion, and ulcer development, was collected. RESULTS Twenty-five female patients with 44 inverted nipples were enrolled. Nipple ulcers were present in seven patients, four of whom were bilateral. Logistic regression analysis showed nipple inversion grades (Z = 2.105, OR 7.005, 95% CI: 1.144-42.898, p = 0.035) and relative perfusion of nipples (Z = -2.337, OR 0.969, 95% CI: 0.944-0.995, p = 0.019) were significantly associated with ulceration. The structural equation model demonstrated the interaction of related factors: nipple inversion grades increased by 0.411 points for ulcers (p = 0.004), while relative perfusion of nipples decreased by 0.647 points for ulcers (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Preoperative nipple inversion severity and post-operative nipple blood supply may be the risk factors for nipple ulcer development in the nipple retractor technique.

Abstract
Genital aesthetic procedures have increased in popularity among women and men. Many clinicians tried to expand the application of fill injection by using it for genital aesthetic injection. However, this procedure is not so safe as imagined and may lead to a fatal complication of pulmonary embolism. This article summarizes the clinical manifestations and proposed mechanism of the filler-induced non-thrombotic pulmonary embolism (FINTPE) cases. A literature review was performed with the search keywords including "genital aesthetic injection, vaginal injection, vaginoplasty, vaginal tightening, penile augmentation, penis injection, hyaluronic acid, fat grafting, pulmonary embolism, alveolar hemorrhage, hypoxemia, and dyspnea." Among the 14 cases from 11 articles enrolled, 12 patients were female, and two were male. Eight patients received silicone injection, followed by two received fat grafting and hyaluronic acid injection, respectively. All the female patients had one single injection site, including 11 cases for the vaginal wall and one for G-spot, while all the male patients received injections into the penis and scrotum. The main symptoms were dyspnea and chest pain. Almost 60% of FINTPE patients presented respiratory disorders within 12 hours post-operation. Treatment includes oxygen therapy, corticosteroids, and anticoagulation. Five patients improved with an average of 14.6-day treatment, and seven died due to organ failures. Genital aesthetic filler injections are experimental procedures without being strictly reviewed or approved. As a severe complication following these procedures, FINTPE requires cautious performance, careful prevention, timely identification, and treatment to decrease its incidence and mortality.

Abstract
Background Microcirculation plays a vital role in scleroderma physiopathology and the mechanism of fat survival. Objective This study aims to assess the blood perfusion change after fat grafting and evaluate the relationship between blood perfusion and fat graft retention in patients with localized scleroderma (LS). Methods A pilot study was conducted in patients with LS receiving autologous fat grafting (AFG). Fat graft retention measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis and blood flow perfusion measured by laser speckle contrast imaging 6 months postoperatively were noted. PUMC Localized Scleroderma Facial Aesthetic Index was used to assess the improvement of facial aesthetic impairment. Results The fat retention at the 6-month follow-up was 34.56 ± 11.89 percent. At the 6th month of follow-up, the relative blood perfusion at the lesion area was 115.08 ± 14.39 PU, significantly higher than 100.42 ± 10.62 PU at the pre-operation (p = 0.010). The blood perfusion at follow-up increased by an average of 1.15 ± 0.14 times before the operation. No association between the increase in the blood flow perfusions and fat graft retention was found (r = −0.082, p = 0.811). Conclusion Local blood perfusion in the lesion area relatively increased after AFG, but no direct relationship was found between fat retention and increased blood supply.

Abstract
Background With the growth in the popularity of facial filler injections, increased numbers of severe adverse events, such as cerebral embolism, have been reported. Objectives The aim of this article was to summarize the clinical manifestations and proposed mechanisms of filler-induced cerebral embolism (FICE). Methods A literature review was performed with the search keywords “filler injection,” “hyaluronic acid,” “fat graft,” “cerebral infarction,” “cerebral embolism,” “stroke,” “cerebrovascular infarction,” “disorders of consciousness,” and “hemiplegia.” Results Among the 43 cases of FICE enrolled from 35 articles, 37 patients were female, and 6 were male. Twenty-nine of these patients had received fat grafting, and 12 hyaluronic acid injection. Most FICE patients had been injected in the glabella, followed by the temporal, forehead, and nasal areas. Among 30 patients injected under local anesthesia, 43.33% presented with neurologic symptoms during the procedure. The main symptoms were consciousness disorders and hemiplegia. Most of the embolization sites were in the middle cerebral artery, followed by frontal lobe infarction and anterior cerebral artery infarction. Three patients developed cerebral hemorrhage after embolism. Twenty-six patients presented with newly acquired vision loss. The management for FICE cases included embolectomy, thrombolysis, decompressive craniectomy, antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy, and symptomatic and nutritional treatment. Nearly half of the patients recovered or exhibited improved neurologic manifestations but not visual loss. Five patients died. Conclusions FICE is a severe complication following facial filler injection. Careful prevention, timely identification, and treatment are crucial to decreasing the morbidity and mortality of FICE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Botulinum toxin (BoNT) injection is the most commonly performed procedure in cosmetic surgery. However, blind injection is unable to take individual anatomical variations into consideration, which is the main contributing factor to complications. Ultrasound (US) imaging was introduced to reduce complications and improve effects. This article will review uses of US in aesthetic BoNT injection. METHOD A systematic electronic search was performed using the PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of science. Search terms were set to focus on aesthetic BoNT injection. Two independent reviewers subsequently reviewed the resultant articles based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. Selected manuscripts were analysed and grouped by procedure categories. Clinical cases were all performed by one plastic surgeon in our department. RESULTS The search finally retained 24 articles. Five procedural categories were identified, including masseter (n = 16), frontalis (n = 2), glabella complex (n = 2), trapezius (n=1), and gastrocnemius (n = 3). US imaging is practical and instructive for pre-operative assessments as in needle-type selection, injection point localization and depth setting, as well as post-operative follow-ups regarding injection feedback (for instance, the extent of muscle volume decreases). What's more, ultrasound-guided injection makes needle trajectory visualized so as for the needle to reach the target muscle in avoidance of potential damage to neurovascular bundle, gland or adjacent muscle. CONCLUSION Muscles, such as masseter, frontalis, glabella complex, trapezius and gastrocnemius, and their adjacent structures can be well visualized using US, and as such, US can be a useful tool for a variety of pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative procedures.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds significantly affect the life quality of patients and may cause amputation and mortality if poorly managed. Recently, a wide range of cell-based methods has emerged as novel therapeutic methods in treating diabetic wounds. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are considered to have the potential for widespread clinical application of diabetic wounds treatment in the future. This review summarized the mechanisms of ASCs to promote diabetic wound healing, including the promotion of immunomodulation, neovascularization, and fibro synthesis. We also review the current progress and limitations of clinical studies using ASCs to intervene in diabetic wound healing. New methods of ASC delivery have been raised in recent years to provide a standardized and convenient use of ASCs.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of vestibular syncope (VS) associated with drop attacks (DA) in delayed endolymphatic hydrops (DEH). Methods: DEH cases with complete data were retrospectively analyzed, including three DEH cases with DA and VS (VS group), and six DEH cases without DA or VS (control group). The clinical profile, the results of neurotological examinations [such as pure tone audiometry, electrocochleography (EcochG), caloric test, vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP), and video head impulse test (vHIT)] and treatment outcomes were analyzed. Results: (1) In the VS group, there were three cases of ipsilateral DEH; in the control group, there were six cases of ipsilateral type. One case in each group had a history of migraine. (2) The prevalence of abnormal results in caloric test, vHIT, cervical VEMP, and ocular VEMP in the VS group was 3/3, 1/3, 2/2, and 2/2, respectively, and in the control group was 3/6, 0/3, 1/6, and 4/6, respectively. Two cases in each group underwent EcochG, and no identifiable waveform was elicited on the affected side, and-SP/AP ratio of unaffected side was less than 0.4. (3) Patients in both groups were initially treated with conservative medication. Two cases in the VS group subsequently received intratympanic injections of dexamethasone. No DA or VS occurred during a follow-up period lasting over one year. All patients achieved good control of vertigo during the follow-up period. Conclusions: VS may occur in the patients with DEH. The differential diagnosis of syncope in patients with otogenic vertiginous disease can help improve clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Implantation failure remains a black box in reproductive medicine, and the exact mechanism of how endometrial receptivity is regulated is still unknown. Epigenetic modifications play a role in the gene expression pattern and may alter the endometrial receptivity in the human endometrium. Cervical secretion containing various implantation-related cytokines, and the gene methylation change can be used as a non-invasive molecular source that reflects the endometrium condition.
Study design, size, duration
In this retrospective case-control study, sixty-two women who entered the FET cycle (30 pregnant and 32 non-pregnant women) were enrolled.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Cervical secretion was collected before embryo transfer from women enrolled in multicenter university-affiliated reproductive units. The DNA methylation status of six candidate genes was measured using quantitative methylation-specific PCR (qMSP). The correlation between methylation change and the pregnancy outcome was analyzed.
Main results and the role of chance
The candidate genes were selected from that associated with implantation with literature review and the original genome-wide DNA methylation data from NCBI GEO DataSets (GSE90060) which processed using bioinformatics analysis. Six candidate genes whose CpG-level methylation analysis with β-value statistically higher in receptive endometrium than in a pre-receptive endometrium were selected. All six candidate genes showed different degrees of correlation with the pregnancy outcomes. Among them, PRKAG2 methylation changes showed the highest correlation with the pregnancy outcome. A logistic regression model was used to evaluate the performance of a single gene or a combination of genes for implantation prediction. The results showed a statistically significant association between the methylation status of a combination of genes (PRKAG2, KRS1, HAND2) and the pregnancy outcome (p = 0.008), resulting in an optimal AUC of 0.7 (95% CI: 0.57 - 0.81) for implantation prediction.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The results obtained from a relatively small cohort size. A larger study and further comprehensive methylome investigations are warranted.
Wider implications of the findings: This study is the first proof-of-concept study that cervical secretion methylation profile is associated with implantation outcome in a FET cycle, and showed potential as a non-invasive method for implantation prediction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Localized scleroderma (LoS) is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder leading to serious long-term aesthetic impairment on patients. Objective evaluation methods are badly needed to facilitate the evaluation of the surgical treatment on individual patients and clinical studies. OBJECTIVE To develop and assess the reliability and validity of Peking Union Medical College LoS facial aesthetic index (PUMC LoSFAI). METHODS Twelve experts devoted their time and resources in the development and validation. LoS patients in the stable phase were recruited. Reliability and validity was then assessed. LoS patients were evaluated by two plastic surgeons using PUMC LoSFAI and LoS skin damage index (LoSDI). The PUMC LoSFAI comprises 4 domains for the local assessment (surface area of lesion, dyspigmentation, skin thickness and soft tissue atrophy) and 3 domains for the overall assessment (facial symmetry, proportion and profile) to describe LoS facial aesthetic impairment. Face-Q was completed by patients at each visit. RESULTS Thirty-two LoS patients had 96 visits, during which 138 lesions were assessed. PUMC LoSFAI and 7 domains demonstrated substantial to excellent inter- and intra-rater reliability (ICC 0.995, κw 0.72-0.91, r 0.85-0.99, respectively). Seven domains considered to be important to extremely important variables (mean rank 3.2-3.8) had high I-CVI (> 0.78) and S-CVI (0.93). PUMC LoSFAI correlated excellently with LoSDI (r = 0.933, P < 0.001), and correlated fairly with Face-Q (r = - 0.399, P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS PUMC LoSFAI was developed and evaluated to play as a tool of aesthetic impairment assessment for LoS patients, which may facilitate the evaluation of the treatment on individual patients and clinical studies. PUMC LoSFAI demonstrated high reliability and validity, and further study in larger patient samples is needed to confirm these preliminary findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cosmetic injection-induced nodules are tricky to handle in the clinic. AIMS We reported a case of injection-induced nodule receiving the experimental treatment of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT). PATIENT A woman presented with multiple red solid nodules on the neck after receiving mesotherapy conducted by syringe. Ultrasound examination showed multiple thickened inflammatory skin tissues on the neck. Pathological biopsy results showed epithelioid granulomas in the dermis, within which there were degenerative necrosis and foreign bodies in the center and multinucleated giant cells around. The bacteria tests remained negative. Diagnosed with foreign body granuloma, the patient rejected the resection or steroids, but willingly took the experimental treatment of HOT instead. After one month, the patient's ultrasound examination showed that the lesion's local hardness got significantly reduced, and the local blood flow increased, indicating the condition improved. RESULTS Although the patient's nodule has not been eliminated, some improvements have been achieved. So far there has no case report on HOT treating injection-induced nodules in the literature. CONCLUSION HOT may be considered as a potential alternative when other treatment options cannot be implemented. More research is needed in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Localized scleroderma (LoS) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by skin fibrosis and subcutaneous tissue atrophy, resulting in aesthetic impairment on patients. Fat grafting has been used to treat LoS patients, achieving aesthetic and therapeutic improvement. AIMS This article summarized the epidemiology and pathophysiology of LoS and the current progress and thorny questions of basic and clinical research on fat grafting treating LoS. METHODS The literature of the last 20 years concerning fat grafting of treating LoS was reviewed. RESULTS Fat grafting has been proved to produce aesthetic and therapeutic outcomes on LoS patients, including the improvement of soft tissue atrophy, skin fibrosis and pigmentation. Due to the inflammatory microenvironment of scleroderma, however, fat grafting still faces many difficulties, such as low fat retention. Novel fat grafting methods in order to supplement the deficiency of adipose-derived stem cells and improve fat retention in LoS groups have been proposed whose effectiveness and feasibility is still needed further study. CONCLUSION Currently, fat grafting has been regarded as an effective treatment with a combination of aesthetic and therapeutic outcomes on LoS patients.

Abstract
Vascularised composite allograft (VCA) transplantation is now a feasible reconstructive option for patients who have suffered significant soft tissue injuries. However, despite numerous technical advances in the field over two decades, a number of challenges remain, not least the management of transplant rejection. Part of the difficulty faced by clinicians is the early recognition and prevention of acute rejection episodes. Whilst this is potentially easier in VCAs than solid organ transplants, due to their visible skin component, at present the only validated method for the diagnosis of acute rejection is histological examination of a tissue biopsy. The aim of this review article is to provide an evidence-based overview of progress in the field of VCA biomarker discovery, including immune cell subsets, immune cell effector pathways, and circulating markers of allograft damage, and to discuss future challenges in the field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No reports of the potential areas of surgeons' aesthetics in blepharoplasty. AIMS To explore the association between the surgeons' own double eyelid morphology and their aesthetics and surgical outcome. METHODS An investigation of 1605 patients was carried collecting the data of double eyelid shape, based on which to propose a preliminary double eyelid classification for analyzing the aesthetics of surgeons. Ten double eyelid surgical cases were randomly collected from each surgeon according to the inclusion criteria, whose double eyelid shape, ideal shape, the selection tendency of surgical approach, most cared factor during surgery, and design concept of eyelid shape were collected. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to assess the association between participants' double eyelid shape, aesthetics, and blepharoplasty outcome. RESULTS Fifty-three double eyelid surgeons were enrolled for study, whose double eyelids shapes mostly were obviously fan-shaped (37.74%) and low-parallel eyelid (26.42%), and the ideal shapes were obviously fan-shaped (41.51%) and high-parallel eyelid (24.53%). 54.72% of the subjects preferred to use the full-incisional method. 45.28% cared for long-term outcome most. Regarding blepharoplasty outcome style, 49.06% of the subjects preferred obviously fan-shaped type and 24.53% for high-parallel type. SEM showed that aesthetics rank increased by 0.692 points for surgeons' shape (P < .001), and surgical outcome rank increased by 0.861 points for aesthetics (P < .001). However, their eyelid shape had no direct contribution to surgical outcome (P = .96). CONCLUSIONS The findings indicated that surgeons' double eyelid shape positively affected their aesthetics, which affected their surgical outcomes further, but their double eyelid shape failed to affect the surgical outcomes directly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mandibular osteomyelitis after filler injection is extremely rare. AIMS We reported a case of mandibular osteomyelitis after hyaluronic acid injection. PATIENTS A 33-year-old woman received 1 mL hyaluronic acid injection on her chin 1 year ago, after which her chin kept swelling and painful, and gradually ulcerated with pus flowing out. She received antibiotics, debridement procedures, negative pressure wound therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy without symptoms improved. Cone-beam computed tomography scan showed local bone destruction, sequestrum formation, and tissue calcification on the right mandible body. The patient was diagnosed with mandibular osteomyelitis and received local curettage for the removal of necrotized bone. RESULTS Literature search found no case reports on mandibular osteomyelitis after filler injection so far. CONCLUSION Minimizing the risk of contamination and infection is strictly required during the filler injection process. Once the patient shows signs of incurable mandibular infection postoperation, clinicians should consider the possibility of osteomyelitis.

Abstract
AIM To analyse the effects of the alternatively spliced fibronectin (FN) gene and its isoforms on osteoclastogenesis in radicular cysts. METHODOLOGY Specimens of radicular cysts were collected surgically from 22 patients whose radiolucent periapical areas were measured on digital panoramic radiographs before surgery. The associations between the radiolucent areas and FN isoforms, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression or micro-vessel density, as well as the relationships amongst them, were analysed by immunohistochemical staining using the antibodies IST-9, BC-1, P1F11, VEGF and CD34. Fibroblasts isolated from those specimens were used to induce Trap + MNCs, and the effects of induction were assessed by blocking FN containing extra domain A (EDA + FN), COX-2 or VEGF in vitro. The effects of EDA exon knockout using CRISPR/Cas system were also assessed. Quantitative PCR was used to analyse relative expression of FN isoforms and osteoclastogenic genes. Data were analysed using linear regression, Spearman's rank correlation analysis, chi-square test and Student's t-test; P < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS Micro-vessel density and EDA + FN staining were positively associated with the size of radiolucent periapical areas (mm2 ; P < 0.05), consistent with a positive association between Trap + MNCs and VEGF expression in fibroblasts (P < 0.05). Blocking the interaction between EDA + FN and fibroblasts inhibited Trap + MNC formation. In addition, EDA exon knockout decreased VEGF expression and inhibited Trap + MNC formation to the extent of blocking VEGF by bevacizumab, but osteoclastogenic induction was restored by recombinant VEGF. Using retrospective clinicopathological data, VEGF staining was shown to be positively associated with EDA + FN staining, micro-vessel density and the size of radiolucent areas (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION In fibrous capsules of radicular cysts, the alternatively spliced isoform EDA + FN generated by fibroblasts stimulated VEGF expression via an autocrine effect and then facilitated osteoclastogenesis. Both blockage of VEGF and EDA exon knockout could be used to inhibit bone destruction.

Abstract
Graphene derivatives are the new bioactive material with good physical and chemical properties and excellent biocompatibility. It has been found that graphene derivatives can improve the mechanical properties of biomaterials and promote the adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of osteoblast-related cells, so as to promote implant-bone bonding and repair of bone defects. This makes it a research hotpot in the field of bone tissue regeneration. In this paper, the mechanism of graphene derivatives promoting bone regeneration and their application in the oral field were reviewed, so as to provide theoretical basis for their application in basic and clinical research.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine if short-term nutrient alteration affects (1) ovarian morphology, (2) plasma and ovarian antioxidant capability and (3) cell apoptosis and AKT signaling within the ovary. After estrus synchronization, 24 Hu sheep were assigned to three groups based on the nutrient requirement recommended for maintenance (M): 1 × M (Control), 1.5 × M (S) and 0.5 × M (R) during days 7–14 of their estrous cycle. The results indicated that undernourishment significantly increased the counts and volume of follicles <2.5 mm and decreased the counts and volume of follicles ≥2.5 mm (P < 0.05). Feed restriction altered the plasma and follicular redox balance within follicles ≥2.5 mm by inhibiting total antioxidant capacity, increasing malondialdehyde concentration (P < 0.05) and reducing the mRNA expression levels of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), as well as the activities of total SOD and GSH-PX. Feed restriction also attenuated B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2) but enhanced Bcl-2-associated X protein (BAX) andBAX/BCL2transcription and translation levels in granulosa cells (P < 0.05). Uniform staining intensities of AKT and P-AKT-Ser473 were observed in each follicle stage, whereas weaker P-AKT-Thr308 staining in the antral follicle than in the pre-antral follicle suggested possible involvement of P-AKT-Thr308 during the beginning of follicle development. P-AKT-Ser473 levels in follicles ≥2.5 mm was significantly reduced in the R group (P < 0.05). The results presented in this study demonstrate that suppressed folliculogenesis caused by feed restriction might be associated with attenuated AKT signaling, reduced follicular antioxidant capacity and enhanced granulosa cells apoptosis.
