Objective To investigate the different procedure effects in patients with modified sub-pectoral and subglandular breast augmentation. Methods Patients with modified subpectoral breast aug-mentation (10 cases) and subglandular breast augmentation (10 cases) were randomly selected, and satis-factory surveys to the procedures were conducted in the two groups of patients, including breast touch-feeling, dynamic change, as well as self-feeling and spouse-feeling. Results By the comparison of sub-glandular with subpectoral breast augmentation, touch-feeling was excellent in the former group, with breast spreading out to bilateral side in horizontal position. The breasts had different changes with differ-ent posture and natural movement. Spouse was more satisfactory to the former than the latter group. Conclusion Subglandular breast augmentation has natural shape, dynamic changes and fidelity of the re-al, especially in horizontal position, which is more conformable to the standards of patients and their spouse, and better than subpectoral breast augmentation.

Objective To explore the treatment of capsular contr ac ture after augmentation mammaplasty with mammary prostheses. Method Through primary incision (axillary or inframammary) and minor capsu le incision, patients with capsular contracture after augmentation mammoplasty w ere treated by preserving the contractive capsule and repositing of the breast p rosthesis anterior to the primary capsule. Results Total ly 12 cases (14 breasts) of capsular contracture were achieved satisfactory res ults since 2001. Conclusion The method of capsule preser vation and reposting of the breast prosthesis anterior to the capsule present n umerous advantages: little trauma, less bleeding, simple surgical procedure, saf e, less possibility of recrudescence, and can be finished through a small primar y axillary incision. It is a preferable method to treat capsular contracture.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of China-made expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) in the treatment of facial defects and hollow deformities on the face. Methods Facial augmentation was performed in different sites as the forehead, temple, nose, chin, nosal base and maxilla, respectively, to correct the facial defects and hollow deformities, by using either China-made ePTFE (Experimental Group) or imported ePTFE (Control Group). Postoperative parameters between the two groups were compared. Results The Experimental Group included 16 patients (18 sites), in whom the postoperative follow-up was conducted for 6~9 months. In this group, a secondary infection (in the nose) occurred in 1 patient because the implant was placed too superficially and too close proximity to the incision, and the implant was removed out. Delayed healing of the incision (in the chin) with uncovered implant was found in 1 patient, who was cured by the change of dressing. In the rest of the patients, no obvious allergic, inflammatory or rejection reaction was seen and a good cosmetic result was achieved. The satisfactory rate of this group was 94.4%(17/18). The Control Group included 10 patients (20 sites). The implant was found bared and then removed in 1 patient (in the nose). The satisfactory rate of this group was 91.7%(11/12). There were no statistical differences between the two groups in the wound healing ( ? 2 =1 109, P =0 574), the adverse reaction ( P =1 000), and the clinical efficacy ( P =1 000). Conclusions China-made ePTFE gives histocompatibility as good as imported one. It is suitable for filling the soft tissue and can be used as a safe and economical alternative.

Objective To study the possibility of generating cartilage with a free composite graft of perichondrium and matrix. Methods A composite graft of a free perichondrium flap wrapped around acellular auricular cartilage matrix was implanted in the back subcutaneously of young New Zealand rabbits (GroupⅠ). As controls,double folded perichondrium free flap (GroupⅡa) and acellular auricular cartilage matrix without perichondrium cover (GroupⅡb) were implanted. Results 3 weeks and 6 weeks after implantation , obvious differences of chondroblasts derived from the perichondrium were observed between the GroupⅠand GroupⅡa (P

This study aimed to explore the cognitive dysfunction of and hippocampal neuron damage to Wistar rats with STZ-induced diabetes at different morbidity time. All Wistar rats in the tests received intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin (STZ; 60 mg/kg) to induce type 1 diabetes. The concentration of blood glucose and the body weight were investigated, the cognitive ability of rats was assessed using a standardized Y-maze, and the apoptotic neurons in the CA1 of the hippocampus were also examined by using the HE staining. While the sickening time was prolonged, the blood glucose concentration of the experimental rats increased continuously and the body weight decreased. On the 70th day after STZ administration, the neuronal loss in the hippocampal CA1 region increased and the working errors increased in rats with the diabetes. The results showed that Wistar rats could complicate with diabetic encephalopathy in 70 days after injection of STZ for inducing the diabetes.

Objective Under the guidance of graduate education evaluation theory,to establish the comprehensive quality evaluation standard of medical graduate students and apply it in the research of the scholarship evaluation.Methods Byusing literature study,brainstorming,expert advice and other research methods,we established comprehensive quality assessment scale.In the work of graduate scholarship,the scale was used to carry out the evaluation work,and the application of the scale,the use value and the effect of moral evaluation were studied.Results A comprehensive quality assessment scale for medical graduate students,which included 4 dimensions of moral education,training process,scientific research and social activities was established so that the students' daily performance was quantified and evaluated,which,to a certain extent,eliminated the influence of the subjective judgment to the evaluation work,and had good guidance and practicality.Conclusion Establishing comprehensive quality quantitative evaluation mechanism of the graduate students and conducting the dynamic evaluation to graduates' moral education,their academic and social activities are conducive to stimulating the development of postgraduates' comprehensive quality and improving the quality of training.

Objective To explore a new method of nasal tip plasty and its clinical effect,which is much accorded with biomechanical properties of the human body.Methods From June 2010 to March 2016,a total of 33 cases of nasal tip surgery,6 males and 27 females,were performed.Ages ranged from 22 to 46 years in this group.Ear cartilage was trimmed into two strips and sutured them together in a M shape.When located to the original position of the nasal alar cartilage,theM shaped cartilage could be used in nasal tip;when fixing part of it on the nasal septum or lengthened nasal septal cartilage,the M shaped cartilage could be used in cosmetic surgery of nasal tip lengthening.Results The follow-up period was from one month to 60 months,with average 14 months.29 patients (87.9 ％) were satisfied with the efficacy and 2 patients were suffered from infection (6.1 ％).Conclusions When the M-shaped cartilage is fixed with lengthened nasal septum,it can lengthen the nasal tip much more and the contouring and texture of nasal tip are better than that of using a shield or a cap cartilage graft.

Objective To explore the clinical indication and operative methods for different upper eyelid aging through perieyebrow incision.Methods We collected totally one hundred fifty-two cases in this study,including six males and 146 females,and aged from 26 to 80 years (average 47).There were 29 cases with only ptosis of upper eyelid,and the rest 123 cases were ptosis of upper eyelid with ptosis of eyebrow,sunken upper eyelid,bloated upper eyelid,or over-wide between eyebrow and eye region (compensatory eyebrow elevation).Through the incision of upper or lower margin of eyebrow,we treated these five types of upper eyelid aging by excision of redundant skin,orbicularis oculi muscle,frontal muscle,ROOF,or orbital fat,or ROOF elevation for upper eyelid rejuvenation.Results Patients were followed up for 3 to 120 months,with average 14.4 months.All ptosis of upper eyelid and over-wide between eyebrow and eye region patients were improved obviously.In 36 ptosis of upper eyelid with ptosis of eyebrow,seven of them treated with upper eyebrow margin incision got the best results;and the rest 29 patients treated with lower eyebrow margin incision,fifteen patients were lifted slightly,and the rest fourteen patients got no improvement.All scars of inferior eyebrow margin incision were invisible.Faded and applanate one millimeter wide scars were seen on two patients with superior eyebrow margin incision.In all patients with ptosis of upper eyelid,80％ patients with sunken upper eyelid were improved obviously,and 85 ％ with bloated upper eyelid were improved significantly.Conclusions Upper eyelid aging is divided into five categories.Upper eyelid aging could be corrected by perieyebrow approach.Our methods are simple,safe,fewer complications,and with short convalescence,which is the minimally invasive procedure recommended for Chinese patients with upper eyelid aging.

ObjectiveTo avoid the complications such as scar,alopecie,scalp numbness,hematoma etc,resulted from the conventional coronal incision rhytidectomy,and to explore and solve the issues about endoscopic frontal and temporal rhytidectomy.MethodsThrough 3-5 short incisions in hairline,we dissected under frontal periosteum or gales aponeurotica and in superficial layer of deep temporal fascia.The frontal and temporal cavitites were feedthrough at temporal crest.The corrugator supercilii muscle,superciliary depressor muscle,frontal muscle and orbicularis oculi were treated.Sufficient dissection was done under the periosteum of os orbitale.ResultsThis method had been applied in 186 patients with forehead lift.After operation,transient paralysis of facial nerve frontal branch were found in 3 patients.The depression of glabellum and lateral canthus were found in 5 patients.The depressions were corrected by autologous fat injection. Other 178 patients' results were satisfactory.ConclusionsEndoscopic frontal and temporal rhytidectomy has some advantages,such as minute invasion,less hemorrhage,few complications,and stable operation result,etc.Compared to the conventional coronal incision rhytidectomy,this method will be used more widely.

OBJECTIVETo explore the eyelid's characteristics of outpatients who visited the plastic surgery clinic in 3rd Hospital of Peking University.

METHODSFrom Jan. 2007 to Feb. 2011, we collected facial images and general data of 2,183 outpatients, and divided them into groups according to their genders. The eyelid images were analyzed and epicanthus or foldless eyelid were recorded. Then the incidence rates of epicanthus and foldless eyelid were calculated.

RESULTSIn 2,183 patients (4,366 eyes), the incidence rate of epicanthus is 86.1% (3,760/4,366), and the incidence rate of foldless eyelid is 35.3% (1,541/4,366). In 178 males (356 eyes) and 2,005 females patients (4,010 eyes), the incidence rates of epicanthus are 78.4% (279/356) and 86.8% (3,481/4,010), respectively. The incidence rates of foldless eyelid are 48.0% (171/356) and 34.2% (1,370/4,010), respectively.

CONCLUSIONSThe incidence rates of epicanthus and foldless eyelid are relatively high for the outpatient population in the plastic surgery clinic of Third Hospital of Peking University.
