Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of kissing-stent implantation in the treatment of chronic iliac-vena cava occlusion.Methods The clinical data of 22 patients with chronic iliac-vena cava occlusion,who received kissing-stent implantation,were retrospectively analyzed.The surgical success rate and the procedure-related complications were recorded,the postoperative 3-,6-and 12-month stent patency rates were calculated,and the postoperative 6-month Villalta score was compared with its preoperative value.Results The technical success rate of kissing-stent implantation was 100％.No procedure-related surgical complications occurred.The postoperative 3-,6-and 12-month stent patency rates were 95.5％,90.9％and 86.1％respectively.The postoperative 6-month Villalta score was(12.14±2.80)points,which was remarkably lower than preoperative(20.91±3.16)points,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The implantation of kissing-stent can successfully reconstruct iliac-vena cava with satisfactory short-term efficacy for chronic iliac-vena cava occlusion.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty with a skin flap reserving the pretarsal fullness.Methods:From November 2017 to April 2022, a retrospective analysis was performed to assess the reserving of pretarsal fullness after the transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty with a skin flap in the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, General Hospital of Southern Theater Command, PLA. A subciliary incision was made below the ciliary margin and a skin flap was elevated at the surface of pretarsal orbicularis. The muscle was partially split at the position of pretarsal crease, leaving the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle and the pretarsal crease intact. Preseptal dissection was proceeded down to the level of arcus marginalis, exposing the orbital fat pads. For patient with tear trough deformity or volume deficiency in the medial cheek, retaining ligament laxity and fat repositioning were routinely performed. The muscle wound was closed edge to edge and the excess skin was excised conservatively. Postoperative complications were recorded. Face-Q scale was used for surgical decision and postoperative satisfaction evaluation. The scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating less regret the operation or greater satisfaction. The preoperative and postoperative digital photographs were used to evaluate the change of pretarsal fullness.Results:256 patients were included, of whom 233 cases were women and 23 cases were men. The age was (43.0±10.2) years. 24 cases had concomitant lateral canthoplasty due to hypotonia of lower eyelid, 22 had concomitant upper blepharoplasty, and 21 cases had brow lift surgery to correct upper eyelid relaxation. All patients had follow-up for (3.7±4.1) months, most patients were satisfied with the operation results. A total of 211 patients maintained a natural pretarsal fullness postoperatively, with the rate of 82.4%. The Face-Q satisfaction score was (75.8±18.6) and the surgical decision score was (80.3±15.4), indicating that most patients did not regret the operation. Postoperative complications included 8 cases of eyelid bags undercorrection, of whom 4 patients underwent secondary resection. 7 patients experienced infraorbital bulge for the uneven placement of the fat pad, 2 of them required revision surgery. Hematoma occurred in 4 cases and was resolved by hematoma clearance. Other complications included 3 cases of ectropion and 2 cases of minimal tear trough correction. Lower eyelid ectropion was corrected in one case.Conclusion:Reserving the pretarsal fullness in transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty with a skin flap provides excellent aesthetic results and high patient satisfaction. This technique is simple and effective.

Background:Non-alcoholic liver disease is of increased concern and contributing to economic burdens not only in developing countries but in developed countries as well.Identifying the biomarker of early diagnosis and early intervention approaches for non-alcoholic liver disease is unmet and required further investigation.Although the alpha-ketoglutarate(α-KG)is recently proposed to be a potential biomarker in differentiating patients with obesity from those with non-alcoholic liver disease,how α-ketoglutatate is involved in the fatty liver progression is not clear. Methods:A high-fat diet(HFD)feeding animal model,liver functional assays,and molecular approaches were adopted to clarify the impact of α-KG in fatty liver progression. Results:In the current study,it was found that dietary α-KG would inhibit weight gain in male and female mice fed with a normal chew or HFD.HFD feeding caused fatty liver in male mice,but α-KG treatment could substantially inhibit hepatic steatosis progression.Biochemical studies revealed the possible linkage of α-KG protective functions to lipid metabolism.Further analysis identified the important role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in beneficial α-KG-mediated effects on fatty liver progression. Conclusions:The current study demonstrates the therapeutic potential of α-KG and how it may be used,via dietary supplementation,as a preventive intervention for non-alcoholic liver disease in obese patients.
