Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy and technical key points of genioplasty for the deformities of the chin.Methods 153 patients with chin deformities were treated with the genioplasty,and the chin was moved in any direction,including sagittally,vertically and transversely;the key points of this procedure were summarized.Results There was no severe complication such as infection or nonunion observed.15 patients had ecchymosis and faded in 2 weeks;33 patients had hypaesthesia and recovered in 12 weeks.With the 12-24 months follow-up,all the patients healed well with satisfactory aesthetic results.Conclusions The genioplasty is a reliable and efficient method for the deformities of the chin,and it can significantly improve the appearance of the chin.

Objective To evaluate the effect of three-point rigid internal fixation technique in reduction malarplasty for prominent malar complex.Methods From January of 2014 to January of 2017,45 patients with prominent malar complex were treated with double L shape osteotomy combined bony Z plasty and three-point rigid internal fixation for prominent malar complex.The preoperative and postoperative photographs were taken to monitor the contour improvement,the adverse effects were recorded,and 3D CT was used to assess the bone union situation at 6 months after operation.Results All the wounds got primary intention healing and no severe complication occured in perioperative period.3D CT showed good bone recovery 6 months after operation.Postoperative appearance of all cases showed that the width of middle face was efficiently reduced.All patients expressed high levels of satisfaction.Conclusions Reduction malarplasty with three-point rigid internal fixation for prominent malar complex is an effective and safe method for the treatment of prominent malar complex.

Objective To investigate the prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its related diseases in Bengbu community residents. Methods 3246 residents aged from 25 to 74 years were chosen through cluster random sampling method, including 1459 males and 1787 females. MS and its related diseases were examined. Results (1) The prevalence rate and standardized rate of MS was 20. 5% and 16.0%, respectively, which reached higher level all over China. The prevalence rate of male and female was 22. 9% and 18. 6%, respectively. The highest prevalence rate occurred in presenium patients. (2)The prevalences of various metabolic diseases were increased with aging except for overweigh/obesity and MS (P<0.01). The prevalence of various metabolic diseases was 1 times higher in elderly patients than that in young patients, and the prevalence rate of MS in male and female increased to 2.8 times and 2.7 times, respectively. The prevalence rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus increased biggest, male to 7.9 times and female to 12.8 times compared with the original level. (3) The multiple components clustering rate of MS was high, only 33.8% of individuals had no metabolic disorder. Conclusions The prevalence rates of MS and its related diseases are high in Bengbu community residents. It is necessary to take comprehensive measures to prevent and control MS in community.

Objective To compare the efficacy between autologous fat and hyaluronic acid in filling nasolabial grooves.Methods Sixty patients who wanted improvement of nasolabial grooves were involved in the study.They were randomly and equally classified into two groups:autologous fat injection group and hyaluronic acid injection group.Photographs were taken before,half a year,and one year after injection.The nasolabial grooves were also graded before,half a year,and one year after injection.The grade improvement was obtained after postoperative grade minus preoperative grade.If the grade improvement was more than 1 grade,the treatment was regarded as effective to evaluate the outcome between the two methods.Results The results of the two groups were tested by SPSS 13.0 software.The effects of the two methods were not significantly different after half a year of filling (P＞0.05).The difference was significant one year after filling (P＜0.05).In autologous fat injection,the patients had a long and magnificant swelling and redness around the nasolabial grooves;on the contrary,the patients who underwent hyaluronic acid had slight and short-time local reaction like swelling and redness.No other serious complications were found in both the groups.Conclusions The effects of the autologous fat and the hyaluronic acid are equal after half a year of filling.The autologous fat has a longer effect in one year.Both methods are safe and effective.Surgeons can select the method accordingly.

Fibrosis is one of the key factors that lead to the immune exclusion of solid tumors. Although degradation of fiber is a promising strategy, its application was still bottlenecked by the side effects of causing metastasis, resulting in the failure of immunotherapy. Here, we developed an antimetastatic polymer (HPA) for the delivery of chemo-drug and antifibrotic siPAI-1 to form the nano-permeator. Nano-permeator shrank after protonation and deeply penetrated into the tumor core to down-regulate the expression of PAI-1 for antifibrosis, and further promoted the sustained infiltration and activation of T cells for killing tumor cells. Moreover, metastasis after fiber elimination was prevented by multivalent CXCR4 antagonistic HPA to reduce the attraction of CXCL12 secreted by distant organs. The administration of stroma-alleviated immunotherapy increased the infiltration of CD8⁺ T cells to 52.5% in tumor tissues, inhibiting nearly 90% metastasis by HPA in distant organs. The nano-permeator reveals the mechanism and correlation between antifibrosis and antimetastasis and was believed to be the optimizing immunotherapy for solid fibrotic tumors.
