Objective:To explore the surgical experience of high speed rotary excision combined with multi-technology in the treatment of adult nape-fat-pad.Methods:A total of 83 patients with nape-fat-pad in our department from March 2016 to September 2019 were selected for the study. In this marked area, 0. 2 percent lidocaine with 1∶10 000 epinephrine was used for local tumescent anesthesia, then a skin incision of about 0.5 cm was made directly under the fat pad and/or about 2 cm from it. First, use a fork knife to separate the fat pad at multiple planes and angles, then cut off with a rotary excision and sucked out thoroughly. Second, use a thin liposuction tube to pump the transition area between the nape-fat-pad and normal fat until the transition is natural and smooth. Finally, fix the skin in the separation area with oil nail, apply pressure with "8-form" bandage and sleep on the rice pillow for 1 week after surgery. The appearance of the neck, postoperative complications and patient satisfaction were followed up 3-6 months after the operation.Resuts:83 patients had varying degrees of pain and swelling for 1-2 months after operation, 76 cases(91.57%) of the patients had complete disappearance of swelling in about 1 month, 12 cases(14.46%)had cyanosis and ecchymosis, which improved in about 3 weeks, 5 cases(6.02%) had a sense of subcutaneous cord or induration, and recovered completely in 2-3 months. Subcutaneous effusion was found in 2 patients(2.41%) in the early stage of operation and absorbed about 1 week.4 cases (4.82%) had a slight "sense of step" in the operative and normal fat transition area about 1 month after operation. 3 cases (3.61%)had poor wound healing, and the other 80 cases (96.39%)were grade A healing. There was no abnormal skin sensation in the operation area in all the 83 cases.No serious complications such as skin necrosis infection and important vascular injury occurred in all the patients 3 to 6 months after the operation. In the patient satisfaction survey, 70 patients were satisfied, 9 were satisfied, 4 were average, the satisfaction rate of the patients was 95.18%.Conclusions:The high speed rotary excision combined with multi-technology in the treatment of nape-fat-pad has short operation time, good curative effect, few complications and high patient satisfaction.

Objective :
To explore the possible mechanism of glycyrrhetinic acid on inhibiting malignant biological behaviors of melanoma by Wnt / β-catenin pathways.
Methods:
The melanoma cells B16-F10 were selected as the research objects.The concentration gradient tests (0,1,2,4 μmol /L) were conducted by MTT.The cells given cisplatin intervention was enrolled as positive controls.The cells invasion and migration were detected by Transwell chamber assay.The expression levels of Wnt / β-catenin pathway proteins,invasion and migration related proteins (MMP-2,MMP-9) in B16-F10 cells were detected by Wester blot.The xenograft models of nude mice were constructed,and they were divided into control group (without drugs treatment) and glycyrrhetinic acid group (40 mg / kg) .The growth of tumor tissues,and expression levels of Wnt / β-catenin pathway proteins,invasion and migration related proteins were observed.
Results :
MTT results showed that glycyrrhetic acid could inhibit the proliferation of B16-F10 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.The inhibition effect of glycyrrhetic acid ( ≥2 μmol /L) was significant on the proliferation of B16-F10 cells (P <0. 05) .The results of Transwell chamber assay showed that compared with control group,invasion and migration abilities of B16-F10 cells were significantly reduced after treatment with glycyrrhetinic acid (2,4 μmol /L) (P <0. 05) .Wester blot results showed that compared with those without glycyrrhetinic acid treatment,expression levels of MMP-9 ,MMP-2,Wnt1 and β-catenin protein in B16- F10 cells significantly decreased after treatment with glycyrrhetinic acid (2,4 μmol /L) (P<0. 05) .The results of tumor-bearing assay showed that compared with control group ,weight and volume of tumors significantly decreased in glycyrrhetinic acid group,and expression levels of Wnt1 ,β-catenin,MMP-9 and MMP-2 proteins also significantly decreased (P<0. 05) .
Conclusion
Glycyrrhetinic acid can significantly inhibit the malignant biological behaviors of melanoma in vitro and vivo.And its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of Wnt / β-catenin signaling pathways.
