Background: Dermal fillers have become prevalent in aesthetic surgery, offering noninvasive solutions for addressing signs of aging and enhancing facial features.

Methods: In this study, the in vivo administration of dermal fillers, including a hyaluronic-cross-linked filler (HA-R), a PDLLA-HA combined filler (HA-PDLLA), a microparticle PDO filler (PDO), a PN filler extracted from salmon milt (PN), and pure hyaluronic acid (HA), along with PBS as a control, was evaluated over a 12 week period.

Results: HA-R exhibited sustained volume retention, contrasting with rapid volume loss observed with PN, and gradual dissolution of PDO by week 12.

Introduction: Wound healing is a complex process involving multiple stages, including inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Effective wound management strategies are essential for accelerating healing and improving outcomes. The CELLADEEP patch, incorporating iontophoresis therapy and microneedle technology, was evaluated for its potential to enhance the wound healing process.

Article Synopsis
  • Electrosurgical electrodes are commonly used in surgeries, and this study assessed their efficacy and safety in minimizing thermal injuries in animal organs during minimally invasive procedures.
  • The study involved testing the AE40-300 (LIPO) and AE20-80 (LIFT) electrodes on tissue from minipigs, focusing on thermal spread and temperature changes.
  • Results showed that these electrodes produced lower surgical temperatures and smaller areas of thermal injury compared to older devices, suggesting they are safer for clinical use.

Background: Microneedles are tiny needles, typically ranging from tens to hundreds of micrometers in length, used in various medical procedures and treatments. The tested medical device named "CELLADEEP Patch" a dissolvable microneedle therapy system (MTS), made of hyaluronic acid and collagen. And the iontophoresis technique is also applied in the system.

Article Synopsis
  • * Over 12 days, hair follicle characteristics were measured, revealing that the combination of these treatments notably enhanced hair elongation and preserved hair bulb diameter, indicating potential for continuous hair growth.
  • * The findings suggest that these formulations could effectively promote hair growth while lowering the transition to the catagen stage, presenting promising alternatives for hair loss treatments comparable to conventional products.

Article Synopsis
  • Human skin has special materials that help cells work, but they can sometimes cause the body to react badly, so a process called decellularization is used to make them safer.
  • Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are important for healing tissues and are used in surgeries to make things look better and reduce risks.
  • A study on a new type of ADM made with supercritical carbon dioxide showed it was safe and helped reduce inflammation and improve healing in rat models, which means it has great potential for use in medical treatments.

Background/aim: This research investigated the biophysical properties, safety, and efficacy of polydioxanone (PDO) filler compared to poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. In both mouse and human skin models, a novel collagen stimulation was compared with hyaluronic acid filler.

Materials And Methods: An electron microscope was used to capture images of the solid particle microsphere shape.

Moyamoya disease and cerebrovascular atherosclerotic disease are both chronic ischemic diseases with similar presentations of vascular cognitive impairment. The aim of the present study was to investigate the patterns of microstructural damage associated with vascular cognitive impairment in the two diseases. The study recruited 34 patients with moyamoya disease (age 43.

This review addressed drug interactions precipitated by fruit juices other than grapefruit juice based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Literature was identified by searching PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Web of Science till December 30 2017. Among 46 finally included RCTs, six RCTs simply addressed pharmacodynamic interactions and 33 RCTs studied pharmacokinetic interactions, whereas seven RCTs investigated both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions.

Cerebral blood perfusion and cerebrovascular lesions are important factors that can affect the therapeutic efficacy of thrombolysis. At present, the majority of studies focus on assessing the accuracy of lesion location using imaging methods before treatment, with less attention to predictions of outcomes after thrombolysis. Thus, in the present study, we assessed the efficacy of combined computed tomography (CT) perfusion and CT angiography in predicting clinical outcomes after thrombolysis in ischemic stroke patients.
