To summarize the clinical effect of using boosters for orbital autologous fat injection transplantation. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients who underwent orbital fine autologous fat injection and transplantation at the Burn and Plastic Surgery Department of the 940th Hospital of the PLA Joint Logistics Support Force from January 2019 to December 2023. The patients were treated with orbital fine autologous fat injection and transplantation using a self-developed autologous fat transplantation booster with constant pressure and micro controllability connected to a 1 mL injector, and the therapeutic effect was analyzed. A total of 186 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in this study, including 165 females and 21 males, with the average age of (39.0±7.1) years old (range: 23-71 years old). Of the 186 patients, 58 cases were of upper eyelid depression, 45 cases were of inner canthal depression, 34 cases were of ocular platform flattening, 6 cases were of meibomian depression, and 43 cases were of lacrimal groove depression. The transplantation volume of granular fat was 0.1-10 mL, with an average of 3.5 mL; the injection volume of nanofat was 0.5-2.0 mL, with an average of 0.5 mL. Follow up for 7 days to 4 years showed that 163 cases (87.6%) were satisfied with the results, 15 cases (8.1%) had average results, and 8 cases (4.3%) were dissatisfied. No surgical complications occurred. The use of a constant pressure and micro controllable electric booster to assist autologous fat injection transplantation could achieve precision in orbital autologous fat transplantation, with high patient satisfaction, meaning that it is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective: To explore the progression rate of cortid maximal plaque area and the risk of new ischemic cardiovascular disease (ICVD) in a rural cohort in Beijing.
Methods: The PRC-USA collaborative study had been regularly conducted in Shijingshan area in Beijing. The carotid ultrasound examination, ICVD risk factor and acute cardiovascular events follow-up were conducted in those participants. A total of 1479 subjects who received at least 2 carotid ultrasound examinations and had no cardiovascular disease before the second ultrasound were studied. They were divided into 5 groups:①Control group, the participants had no plaque detected by 2 ultrasounds; ② New plaque group, new plaque was found at the second ultrasound examination; ③ Plaque regression group; ④ Plaque stabilized group and ⑤ Plaque progression group. The hazard ratio (HR) between the progression rate of corotid maximal plaque area and new ICVD events was estimated by Cox proportional hazard regression analysis .
Results: Compared with Control group, the HR for new ICVD events were higher in groups②,③,④and⑤at 3.5, 5.7, 6.2 and 7.3 respectively, all P<0.05. The increasing trend of HRs remained signiifcant with the adjusted age and gender, P<0.001.
Conclusion: The progression rate of maximal corot id plaque area rate could predict the risk of new ICVD events in clinical practice.

Objective:
To summarize the clinical effects of meticulous fat transplantation with fat grafts in the treatment of sunken upper eyelid.
Methods:
From September 2016 to January 2019, 58 patients with sunken upper eyelid were treated in the 940th Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA. There were 2 males and 56 females, aged from 20 to 63 years. Among them, 14 cases were congenital, 30 cases were senile, 8 cases were postoperative, and 6 cases were traumatic. The prepared autologous granule fat was extracted with a 1 ml syringe, which matched with a 1.0 mm diameter needle. The 1 ml syringe was packed into the card slot of a fat graft booster, and the needle was inserted into the orbital fat zone of a depressed upper eyelid to homogenously inject the granule fat. For patients with iatrogenic and traumatic upper eyelid depression, the adhesion was released by small needle knife before injection. For those with aging skin, subcutaneous injection of nano-fat was applied.
Results:
The amount of granule fat transplantation was 0.5 ml to 3.6 ml, with an average of 1.5 ml. The amount of nano-fat injection was 0.5 ml to 1.0 ml, with an average of 0.7 ml. All patients were followed up for 1 month to 2 years. Except 2 patients with severe traumatic upper eyelid depression, the other patients were satisfied with their full and natural upper eyelids after treatments.
Conclusions
When the upper eyelid depression was treated with granule fat transplantation by the booster, the small needle knife peeling technique and nano fat transplantation can be combined to correct different types of congenital, aging and surgical derived sunken upper eyelid and traumatic sunken upper eyelid from mild to severe cases. At the same time, the skin of the upper eyelid can be rejuvenated as well.

Objective:To explore the importance of managing retro-orbicularis oculi fat (ROOF) in double-fold eyelid operation for patients with swollen upper-eyelid.Methods:From January 2018 to December 2020, 76 cases of swollen upper-eyelid were treated with double-fold eyelid operation by PARK method. In operation, an oval shape ROOF was removed from the outside-to the inside, and then appropriate lateral intraorbital fat was also removed. If fleshy orbicularis oculi muscle and anterior tarsus fat affected appearance of double-fold eyelid, both of them might be removed properly.Results:All patients were followed up from seven days to two years, two cases presented with shallowed double-fold eyelid, 5 cases of lacrimal gland prolapse had good lacrimal gland reduction and no recurrence; 4 cases of ptosis had normal corneal exposure and natural appearance after correction; the swollen upper-eyelid was obviously improved in 74 cases, and restoration stage was short, the apperaence and radian of doule-fold eyelid were beautiful, local scar was slight, satisfactory operative effect was achieved.Conclusions:In double-fold eyelid operation by PARK method for patients with swollen upper-eyelid, an ideal effect would be achieved, if transconjunctival route and fleshy orbicularis oculi muscle are appropriately removed in turn according to the reasons to give rise to swollen upper-eyelid.

Obiective:To explore the application and significance of facial aesthetic unit in the fat injection for facial aesthetic surgery based on the facial fat chamber anatomy.Methods:We revised the facial cosmetic units from ten cosmetic units and fourty-nine cosmetic subunits to ten cosmetic units and thirty-nine cosmetic subunits. From January 2018 to January 2020, In Joint Service Support Force No. 940 Hospital, 48 patients who accepted facial fat injection were evaluated by our facial cosmetic units. The autologous fat grafts was carried out both in deep and superficial fat chamber.Results:Of 48 patients, the volume of transplated granular adipose was from 2 ml to 50 ml, with an average of 20 ml, and the volume of transplated nano fat was from 1 ml to 10 ml, with an average of 4 ml. The post-operation swelling continued for 7-14 days. The complications, such as infection, hematoma and scleroma, did not happen. All patients were followed up from seven days to two years with satisfactory facial rejuvenation and contour improvement. The skin texture was also improved.Conclusions:With the reference of facial aesthetic units, the facial fat injection can be carried out both in the superfacial and deep fat chamber to improve facial rejuvenation and contour.

Objective:To analyze the failure causes and repair methods of conjoint fascial sheath (CFS) suspension in ptosis correction.Methods:From 2021 September to September 2022, 13 cases (5 males and 8 females, aged from 19 to 49 years with an average of 25 years) were collected, and there were 18 eyes of CFS suspension in the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery Center, the 940th Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA with a failed ptosis surgeries, including levator palpebrae superioris muscle shortening, CFS suspension, and frontalis muscle suspension.Results:Among the 13 patients (18 eyes), the failure causes included a result of the unfamiliar anatomy of CFS, unstable suture fixation, dysplasia of CFS, and improper suture site, CFS suspension failed to correct ptosis. After following-up for 6 to 30 months after reconstructive surgery, 14 eyes were corrected satisfactorily, 2 eyes were relieved of ptosis, and 2 eyes had ptosis recured six months after restorative surgery and a frontalis muscle suspension was used in the recured cases with a satisfactory outcome.Conclusions:According to the patient′s eye condition, mastering the indications, be familiar with the local anatomy and accurate surgical procedures are the key to success.
