Objective To quantitatively evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency technology in the facial rejuvenation. Methods Six Chinese female volunteers received five times treatments at 4 days interval with the Slimager radiofrequency device on one side of their face, the other side as a control. After that, we evaluated the clinical efficacy by patients, clinicians, and professional measuring Angel Software, respectively. Results The results showed that the skin looseness and rhytides improved significantly after treatment (20 days). Patients and doctors were satisfied with the efficacy. Data measurements showed that the face levitated by 2.4 mm, the nasolabial fold levitated by 2.2 mm after the treatment. Conclusions The radiofrequency technology is a safe, non-invasive and non-surgical treatment method, which is effective for tightening skin, eliminating rhytides, and rejuvenating face.

Objective To explore the mutual effect of proinflammatory factor tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and cigarette smoke extract(CSE) in the induction of mucin 5AC in BEAS-2B human airway epithelial cells. Methods The BEAS-2B cells were transfected with nuclear factor(NF)-κB decoy oligonucleotides(ODNs) or transfected with NF-κB scrambled ODNs as negative control,then treated with TNF-α,CSE,and TNF-α plus CSE, respectively. The expression of phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (p-EGFR) , mucin 5AC( MUC5AC) protein produc-tion and gene expression were detected by Western blot, ELISA and RT-PCR respectively. Results Significant in-creasing of p-EGFR protein production in scrambled ODNs transfected cells with elevation of MUC5AC protein production and mRNA expression was recorded and TNF-α and CSE co-incubated groups were much higher than single TNF-α or CSE stimulated group(P <0. 05). In NF-κB decoy ODNs transfected cells,TNF-α stimuli revealed an obvious reduction of MUC5AC protein production and gene expression. Conclusion TNF-α and CSE can syner-gistically induce mucin 5AC expression in BEAS-2B cells, transcription factor NF-κB plays a critical role in TNF-α induced mucin production but not as so important in mucin production by CSE stimulated cells.

Objective This single-center prospective,case-controlled study was carried out to investigate clinical effects on patients with aging face who underwent facial autologous fat grafting with platelet-rich plasma (PRP).Methods Thirty patients with facial sagging or partial depression and requiring autologous fat grafting were randomly selected for the study.Photograph and 3D scanning were taken before and 3-month after the operation.Patient and physician satisfaction was rated using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from 1 (most unsatisfactory) to 10 (most satisfactory)3 months after the operation.Statistical difference between the patient and physician satisfactory scores was analyzed.Results The average physician VAS score was 7.9 ± 1.0 while the average patient VAS score was 8.0±1.2.The scores between two groups had no significant difference (P＞ 0.05).Four patients developed bruising and swelling postoperatively that disappeared less than 7 days later.There was no feed back of serious complications from patients.Further investigation of patients with scores less than 7 showed the main reason of low patient satisfaction was that the improvement of facial depression did not meet the requirements of the patient,and fat absorption led to unsatisfactory filling.Conclusions The high satisfactory scores indicate good aesthetic result of facial autologous fat grafting with PRP.PRP may lead to higer survival rate of fat and satisfaction.

Objective To investigate the application of noninvasive correction of congenital auricle defor-mity,and to analyze the cure rate and the causes of incidence of complications. Methods From January 2015 to December 2016,33 patients with unilateral or bilateral congenital auricle deformities were treated with non-surgi-cal correction technique in the Plastic Surgery Department of Guangzhou General Hospital. When the treatment was completed,the VAS score was used to assess the satisfaction of the patient's parents. Results From January 2015 to December 2016,33 patients(53 ears)received noninvasive treatment of the ear deformity correction system. The average age of the patients was(63.5 ± 41.3)days,the average treatment time was(41.6 ± 15.4)days,and the average parental satisfaction was 3.76 ± 0.93(total score:5 points). Significant difference was observedin auri-cle morphology data between pre- and post- treatment ,except for cranioauricular angle(P < 0.05). Conclusions In this study,the cure rate for non-surgical correction was good,however,the satisfaction of treatment decreased with age.The most common complication of treatment was auricle skin damage. The reasons of causing complica-tions maybe the age-induced reduction of ear cartilage elasticity which brought great pressure on the ear ,and the increase of the treatment time.
