Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of autologous fat transplantation combined with hair transplantation in the treatment of hard and/or thin scalp flat scar after burn.Methods:The clinical data of patients with hard and thin scalp scar after burn admitted to the Department of Plastic Surgery of Peking University Third Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Fat was extracted from the lower abdomen or outer thigh during the operation, and then injected into the scalp scar after standing for 15 minutes, about 0.8 ml/cm 2 under the hard and/or thin scar area, and 0.2-0.4 ml/cm 2 under the thick and soft scar area. Three months after fat transplantation, hair transplantation was performed in the scar bald area, and the transplant density was 25-35 follicular units (FUs)/cm 2 in the hard and thin scar area, and 30-40 FUs /cm 2 in the thick and soft scar area. The Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used by two third party plastic surgeons to score the hard and/or thin scar areas of the scalp before and 3 months after scalp fat transplantation. The VSS score was expressed as M ( Q1, Q3), and the preoperative and postoperative data were compared by paired sample Wilcoxon signed rank test. During hair transplantation, the density of implanted hair in the hard and/or thin scar area were recorded. The density of living hair at these sites was measured at the last follow-up, and then the survival rate of hair (living hair density/implant hair density ×100%) was calculated. A third party plastic surgeon evaluated the extent to which scalp scars in the hair transplant area were covered, including completely covered, basically covered, partially covered. Patients’ evaluation with the surgical result was divided into very satisfied, satisfied and dissatisfied. Results:A total of 57 patients with scalp scar after burn were included in this group, including 31 males and 26 females, aged 13-47 years old. The time from scalp scarring to treatment was 8-41 years. The area of scalp scar was 17-120 cm 2, with an average of 63.3 cm 2. The fat injection volume of 57 patients was 13-75 ml. The hair transplantation was performed 3-8 months after a single fat filling procedure. The total amount of hair transplantation was 510-3 120 FUs. The total score of postoperative scar VSS was 4(3, 4), significantly lower than the preoperative score of 7(6, 7) ( W=6.70, P < 0.001). The color, thickness, blood vessel distribution and softness were significantly reduced compared with those before surgery ( P< 0.01). All patients were followed up for 12-18 months (mean, 14 months) after hair transplantation. The survival rate of hair in hard and thin scar area was 68.2% (22.7 FUs/cm 2/33.3 FUs/cm 2) to 89.7% (26.1 FUs/cm 2/29.1 FUs/cm 2), with an average of 81.3%. In 32 patients, scalp scars were completely covered. The scalp scar of 25 patients was basically covered. Twenty-nine patients were very satisfied with the result of the operation, and 28 patients were satisfied. Conclusion:The high survival rate of hair transplantation can be obtained by injecting fat under the hard and/or thin scalp scars before hair transplantation, which is an effective method to repair scalp scars.

The formation of pathological scar has an impact on patients’ normal life and mental health, which is also a thorny problem in plastic surgery. In recent years, the influence mechanism of mechanical tension and signal transduction on wound healing has attracted extensive attention and provides a new idea for the prevention and treatment of pathological scar. This paper reviews the research progress of the influence mechanism of mechanical stretch on wound healing in different stages. In the inflammatory stage, hyperplasia stage and tissue remodeling stage of wound healing, mechanical stretch tension causes biological reactions such as chronic inflammation, fibrosis, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix remodeling through complex signal transduction and feedback mechanisms, which has an impact on wound healing and scar formation. Mechanical stretch therapy for wound healing and scar formation has also achieved certain result in clinical and basic study.

The contracted nose is a unique entity that follows rhinoplasty in the Asian patient, which is mainly related to infection, graft implant, multiple invasive nasal repair operations, patients’ own inflammatory reaction and basic conditions, and is a complication that seriously affects the nasal aesthetics and functional characteristics of patients. Comprehensive understanding of the causes, mechanisms and repair method of contracture nose is helpful for its prevention and treatment. In view of the causes and mechanisms of capsular contracture, this paper reviews the research progress in improving the aesthetic and functional characteristics of patients from the three levels of nasal mucosa, cartilage scaffold and skin, as well as the adjuvant treatment of skin contracture release.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

OBJECTIVE To explore the extraction process of volatile oil from the stems, leaves and roots of Glehnia littoralis, analyze the chemical components of the volatile oil from the stems, leaves and roots of G. littoralis, and preliminarily evaluate its in vitro antifungal activity. METHODS Based on the steam distillation method, single factor test and orthogonal experiment were conducted to optimize the extraction method of volatile oil from the stems, leaves and roots of G. littoralis. The chemical components of the volatile oil from the stems, leaves and roots of G. littoralis were identified by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technology and their relative contents were calculated. The antifungal activity of volatile oils from the stems, leaves and roots of G. littoralis against Fusarium solani, Fusarium incarnatum, Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus parasiticus and Aspergillus flavus was determined by paper diffusion method. RESULTS The optimal extraction process of G. littoralis was solid-liquid ratio of 1∶15, distillation time of 5 hours, and KCl concentration of 15%. Eleven components were identified from the volatile oil of the stems and leaves of G. littoralis, and a total of eight components were identified from the volatile oil of the roots. Ginsenethinol was a common component in the volatile oil from the stems, leaves and roots of G. littoralis, its contents in the stems and leaves, roots were 38.21% and 74.02%, respectively. The volatile oil from the stems, leaves and roots of G. littoralis had a certain E-mail:zwhjzs@126.com inhibitory effect on F. solani, F. incarnatum, F. oxysporum, A. parasiticus and A. flavus, especially volatile oil from the stems and leaves. CONCLUSIONS There is a significant difference in chemical components of the volatile oil between the roots, stems and leaves of G. littoralis, both of which have certain in vitro antifungal activity.

In the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery, the loss of organs or tissues caused by diseases or injuries has resulted in challenges, such as donor shortage and immunosuppression. In recent years, with the development of regenerative medicine, the decellularization-recellularization strategy seems to be a promising and attractive method to resolve these difficulties. The decellularized extracellular matrix contains no cells and genetic materials, while retaining the complex ultrastructure, and it can be used as a scaffold for cell seeding and subsequent transplantation, thereby promoting the regeneration of diseased or damaged tissues and organs. This review provided an overview of decellularization-recellularization technique, and mainly concentrated on the application of decellularization-recellularization technique in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery, including the remodeling of skin, nose, ears, face, and limbs. Finally, we proposed the challenges in and the direction of future development of decellularization-recellularization technique in plastic surgery.

Brain diseases in traditional Chinese medicine were complex and difficult to diagnosis and treatment, and new diagnostic and therapeutic ideas are urgently needed. The onset of the disease was the result of the struggle between healthy qi and pathogenic qi. Common types of the onset of diseases included sudden onset, slow onset, latent onset, secondary onset, and recurrent onset, reflecting the strength of the healthy qi and pathogenic qi, the pathogenic qi that reduced diseases, the site of onset, and other informatin. “Identificating the onset of diseases” was simple and easy to operate, and helped to clarify the complex development of encephalopathy. When applying it, we should first identify urgency and importance, focus on the characteristics; grasp the tendency of diseases, and know the overall situation of the disease; compare similarities and differences horizontally; and carefully observe and dynamically understand the disease. “Identificating the onset of diseases” has the characteristics of comprehensiveness and prognosis, and can lay the foundation for pattern identification and treatment and “treating disease before its onset”.
