Chinese Journal of Medical Aesthetics and Cosmetology 2014;20(6):422-424
Objective To explore the effects of implanting different diameter single hair in treatment of part eyebrow defect.Methods 49 patients with part eyebrow defect,including 37 congenital sparse eyebrows and 12 traumatic eyebrow detect,were performed hair transplantation.Single-hair grafts were harvested from the scalp behind ear or the inferior part of the occiput.Single-hair grafts were implanted according to directions of normal eyebrow.22G or 23G needle was used for stick-andplace insertion.The thick and thin hairs were divided.The thin hairs were implanted into the medial and distal ends and the upper edge,the thick hairs were implanted into the center.Results After 3-10 months follow-up.The reconstructed eyebrows growed slowly,about every 5-7 days needed be trimmed.Two sides eyebrows were symmetry.Because a small amount of transplanted hairs were not alive,twelve patients were performed the second operation for thicker eyebrow.All patients were satisfied with the results.Conclusions In treatment of part eyebrow defect,the results of implanting different diameter single hair are natural and vivid.
2. Anti-AIDS drugs targeting drug delivery systems: Research advances
Journal of International Pharmaceutical Research 2011;38(1):38-41
The discovery and utilization of anti-AIDS drugs therapy have not only increased lifespan, but also enhanced the quality of life of HIV infected people. However, limitations of currently available drug regimens and dosage forms often fail to effectively reduce the HIV viral load in the viral reservoirs in vivo. To overcome the drawbacks of present anti-AIDS drugs' dosage forms, engineered nanocarriers including polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles and dendrimers are developed to facilitate these drugs targeting to the HIV viral reservoirs. This article reviews recent advances in the field of targeting drug delivery systems for the treatment of AIDS.

Objective:To introduce a novel method of endoscopic forehead lift and its follow-up results.Methods:In the past 7 years, 119 patients underwent endoscopic forehead lift. The parallel incisions were made on the frontalis muscle to relieve the wrinkles of the forehead. Glabella muscles were partially bluntly bitten by minimally invasive forceps. No fixator or suture was applied during the operation. Postoperative FACE-Q scales were issued to patients, and the changes of eyebrow position before and after operation were measured.Results:One week postoperatively, glabella frown and forehead wrinkles were relieved or eliminated as the swell gone. The eyebrow measurement outcome showed that the eyebrows of the patients were definitely raised after the operation. The results of FACE-Q scales showed that patients were highly satisfied with the improvement of frontal wrinkles and glabella frown wrinkles, and with the surgical outcomes and decisions. The patients thought they were averagely 7 years younger after operation. The most common complication was temporary frontal skin numbness, followed by hairline regression.Conclusions:The endoscopic forehead lift can effectively improve the forehead wrinkles and the glabella frown wrinkles which meets the demands of Chinese patients.

Objective To discuss the treatment efficacy of washing pulmonary alveoli with the bronchoscopy in treatment of stroke with severe pneumonia in elderly patients. Methods 168 patients were collected in the study, they were divided into treatment group with bronchoscopy (110 cases) and treatment group with conventional method (58cases) . patients in the treatment group with bronchoscopy were given conventional therapy and suctioning sputum with suction tube, at the same time, the suctioning sputum and diluted with the appropriate antibiotic-sensitive local bronchoalveolar lavage were applied 1-2 times per week. Results PaO2 was higher after bronchoscopic therapy. In addition,PaCO2 ( <0.05), respiratory rate (RR) and heart rate (HR) was lower after treatment (<0.05) . Compared with treatment group with conventional method,PaO2 was improved,the RR and HR was lower in the treatment group with bronchoscopy ( <0.05) . Furthermore, the absorptive time of inflammation by Chest film and the death rate was reduced ( <0.05) . Conclusion For elderly patients with stroke with severe pneumonia,washing pulmonary alveoli with the bronchoscopy may possess positive roles to control lung infection and to improve respiratory function in the basis of conventional therapy and suctioning sputum with suction tube.

Objective To study the value of contact heat evoked potentials (CHEPs) for the early diagnosis of diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy. Methods Seventy-five diabetic patients were examined by conventional nerve conduction velocity studies and then divided into 2 groups: diabetics with normal nerve conduction and diabetics with abnormal nerve conduction. Thirty-three normal subjects were used as controls. Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Sco-ring System was used to evaluate the patients. CHEPs were recorded using different stimulation intensities at different temperatures. Results The peak latencies of 45℃ , 50℃, 53℃ in diabetics with normal nerve conduction group were longer than those in normal control group, with a significant difference between the 2 groups(P<0.05). The peak latencies of diabetics were positively related to Toronto scores. Conclusion CHEPs could detect the impair-ment of diabetic peripheral nerve and reveal the impairment earlier than conventional nerve conduction velocity exami-nation, The prolongation of peak latency in diabetics group was significantly and positively related to clinical condi-tion.

Objective To investigate the effect of L-carnitine (LCN) on heart function following myocardial contusion in mongrel dogs.Methods Twenty-four male mongrel dogs were randomly divided into myocardial contusion group,low dose LCN group (LCN1 group),and high dose LCN group (LCN2 group) with 8 dogs per group,according to the random number table.The model of myocardial contusion was established in all groups.LCN1 and LCN2 groups were respectively treated with 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg LCN for three consecutive days before the injury and afterward.Left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP),left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP),left ventricular ± dp/dt were recorded 30 min before injury,and 30 min,1 h,2 h,4 h as well as 6 h after injury.Blood samples were withdrawn from femoral vein to detect the levels of creatine kinase isozyme (CK-MB),cardiac troponin I (cTnI),and malondialdehyde (MDA).Wall motion score index (WMSI) was observed using the ultrasound examination 1 day before and 5 hours after injury.Myocardial tissue was available at 6 hours after injury for the examination of content of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).Results LVSP and ± dp/dtmax appeared a downward trend after injury,while a gradual increase in LVEDP.And the changes were relatively smaller with LCN intervention,especially in LCN2 group.Levels of CK-MB,cTnI and MDA increased after injury,but the same time point showed lower levels in LCN groups (especially in LCN2 group) as compared to myocardial contusion group (P < 0.05).WMSI increased 5 hours after the injury,but the increase was higher in myocardial contusion group (2.46 ±0.31) than that in LCN1 group (1.91 ± 0.23) and LCN2 group (1.85 ± 0.25) (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in WMSI between the two LCN groups (P > 0.05).Level of ATP in myocardial contusion group was (11.3 ± 1.6) μg/g,which was improved after LCN intervention (P < 0.05),and the improvement was much higherin LCN2 group than in LCN1 group[(21.3±3.9) ug/g vs (15.7±2.8)ug/g] (P<0.05).Conclusion LCN can alleviate the adverse effect of myocardial contusion on cardiac function in mongrel dogs,which may be associated with the reduced energy imbalance induced by LCN.
