ABSTRACT
With the progress of perinatal medicine, the survival rate of premature infants has been greatly improved, but the incidence of preterm related complications has also increased, including growth retardation, premature brain injury, retinopathy of prematurity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and necrotizing enterocolitis.Insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)specifically binds to IGF-1 receptor to activate intracellular signaling pathways, so that can promote cell growth, proliferation and differentiation, and inhibit apoptosis.IGF-1 is involved in the development of the heart, brain, lung, and other important organs and promotes tissue growth, so it plays an important role in fetal intrauterine development and neonatal extrauterine growth.At present, some clinical trials have found that recombinant IGF-1 and its binding protein-3 can play a role in the prevention and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, bringing hope for the prevention and treatment of these refractory complications of prematurity.In this review, the function of IGF-1 and its role in preterm related complications are reviewed.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of ultrasound assisted liposuction in vivo on clinical aesthetic plastic surgery. Methods Ultrasonic lipoplastics combined with swelling liposuction were used in 153 cases of the beauty seekers. Application of rountine tissue swelling technique with the transduction of ultrasound into fatty areas made atipose cells broken and emulsified, and it also easy to move the atipose tissue rich in connective fibres. Results All the patients were satified with the aesthetic effects after the operation. Smoothness and softness of the operated areas with obvious shrinkage of the skin were found with few complications. Conclusion Ultrasound assisted liposuction is an effective and simplified method and deserves to be widely used.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical effects of abdominoplasty using ultrasound assisted liposuction and dermolipectomy. Methods With the patient standing, the relative areas of maximal adipose fullness in the abdomen and waist were marked topographically. With the patient in the supine position, the "pinch test" was performed by surgical operator advancing the tissue in the infraumbilical area toward the pubic region in order to estimate how much skin needed to be resected before operation. Inter-operatively tumescent technique with the transduction of ultrasound into fatty areas was applied in the first place, following classic abdominoplasty including excessive skin and fat resection, musculoaponeurotic plication and umbilical transposition. Results Sixteen patients followed up from six months to two years were satisfied with aesthetic effects because of smoothness of the operated areas, good sensory recovery and obvious shrinkage of skin with fewer complications. There were no infection, skin necrosis, and wound dehiscence. Conclusion The excellent effects of abdominal profile sculpture can be reproduced with the new method using UAL in vivo and dermolipectomy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate a myocutaneous flap method for eyelid baggy plasty conforming to the medical aesthetic requirements. Methods Before operation the amount of the lower eyelid skin excised should be determined. Asking the patient to look upward at supine position, the operator lifted properly the lower eyelid skin using fine forceps without teeth at the results of smooth superficialness at this region and slight ectropion. The incision lines were marked along the print pinched by forceps and the trace 2 to 3 mm below the ciliary margin. Intra-operatively severing soft issues to the inferior orbital fringe just on the sub-orbicularis level, the skin-muscle flap was made. Then the excessive muscle was removed in the light of the incision lines. The orbital fat teased out resected or filled up the concavity along the lower orbital edge. Results The tense and smooth appearance of lower eyelid was archived in 900 cases received in our hospital except 2 temporary ectropion cases and 2 temporary double vision cases. We repaired the 15 ectropions using adjacent skin flap, tarsal reduction, skin soft tissue expansion, or superficial temporary fascia sling suspension, eliminated 28 haematomaes and made the excision of scar and wound suture for a hypertrophic scar case in the 150 complications from other hospitals. The crow wrinkles were improved apparently. Conclusion The amount of skin excision determined pre-operatively, which not only successfully refrains interfering elements from blooding and swelling but also avoids giving rise to ectropion, is accurate than that performed during operation. Natural appearance after operation becomes better and lasting because of orbicularis raised which strengthens the anterior wall of orbital septum.
