Objective To explore the difference of psychological state and the change of psycho logical state between mastectomy group for the purpose of changing gender identity and breast reduction surgery group for the purpose of improving physical beauty.Methods The psychological evaluation scale of three layers and twelve dimensions was used to evaluate the psychological status of 24 patients who underwent clinical breast masculine surgery and aesthetic breast reduction before and after operation.The psychological characteristics between the two groups before and after operation were compared and analyzed.Data analysis was carried out through Stata 13.0 software package.Results There were significant differences in depression factor,anxiety factor and obsessive compulsive symp tom factor in the aesthetic breast reduction group before and after operation (t=2.194,2.183,2.090;P=0.039,0.040,0.048,P＜0.05).There were significant differences in depression factor,anxiety factor,obsessive-compulsive symptom factor,bullying factor,psychological self,physical self and social self before and after mastectomy (t=4.188,3.730,2.484,2.570,5.898,3.531,3.162,P=0.000,0.001,0.021,0.018,0.000,0.002,0.005,P＜0.05).There were significant differ ences in depression,anxiety,psychoticism,obsessive-compulsive symptoms,psychological self,physiological self and social self between mastectomy group and aesthetic mastectomy group before operation.(t=2.629,4.081,2.097,4.246,5.419,2.600,2.545;P=0.015,0.001,0.048,0.000,0.000,0.016,0.018,P＜0.05).There was significant difference in postoperative depression,anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms between the mastectomy group and the aesthetic mastectomygroup (t=2.117,2.170,3.764;P=0.046,0.041,0.001,P＜0.05).Conclusions Plastic surgeons should pay attention to the psychological status and personality characteristics of different beauty seekers and give psychological guidance,which is of great significance to improve the medical experience and surgical effect of the beauty seekers.

Objective: To investigate the histological and biomechanical changes of rabbit ear cartilage induced by long pulse width 1064 nm Nd: YAGlaser. Methods: Seven New Zealand rabbits weighing 2.0-2.5 kg, male, 4-6 months old were selected. For a self-control, the right ear was irradiated by laser and the left ear was the normal control group. Each rabbit ear was divided into 3 cm × 1 cm, three 2 cm × 1 cm and 1 cm× 1 cm experimental area. After the experimental area of the laser irradiation group was irradiated by long pulse width 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser, Three pieces of 2 cm × 1 cm cartilage in each ear of the experimental rabbits were immediately cut and stained with HE, Sirius red and Masson to observe the histological changes of chondrocytes. The 3 cm × 1 cm and 1 cm× 1 cm cartilage of each rabbit ear was cut for biomechanical examination, and the changes of biomechanical properties such as tension, fracture, elastic modulus and compression of rabbit ear cartilage were observed immediately after the operation. Results: Histological observation showed that the chondrocytes became small, the matrix was stained deeply, the refraction was obvious/evident and the collagen was relatively increased. After being irradiated by long pulse width 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser, the peak tensile stress, tensile elastic modulus, tensile fracture load, compressive stress peak, compressive elastic modulus and compressive failure load of rabbit ear cartilage in laser irradiation group were (5.22 ±0.80) MPa, (42.40 ±9.78) MPa, (22.86 ±4.85) N, (16.04 ±5.57) MPa, (28.71 ±13.97) MPa, (1 211.63 ±427.86) N. All of them were smaller than those of the control group[(6.07±0.64) MPa, (48.44±6.30) MPa, (26.94±4.19) N, (25.12±9.10) MPa, (45.30±19.24) MPa, (1 962.83±896.71) N], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions After the operation of long pulse width 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser, the stress of rabbit ear cartilage resisting elastic deformation is reduced, the shape is easier to change, and the remodeling effect is more stable.
