Mammaplasty: Shape,volume, and scar size

Recently many mammaplasty techniques have been presented with special attention paid to the resulting scar's size and its position. The surgeon should try to hid the scar, and if the inverted T incision is used, its horizontal branch should be as short as possible and kept in the breast area. Neverthelss, excessive concern about the final scar size should not interfere with the final results of the mammaplasty as far as shape, volume and lasting results are concerned. The author presents his experience in mammaplasty with respect to the volume, the shape, and the scar size interrelationships.     

EFFECT OF CROSS-FOSTERING ON NEONATAL SODIUM BALANCE AND ADULT BLOOD PRESSURE IN THE SPONTANEOUSLY HYPERTENSIVE RAT

1. The aim of the present study was to compare electrolyte handling in naturally reared neonatal spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with those reared by a Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rat foster mother (denoted SHRX), as cross-fostering SHR pups to a WKY rat dam lowers adult blood pressure in the SHR. 2. The electrolyte content of WKY rat and SHR dams’ milk was determined and electrolyte intake and urinary excretion rates were calculated in both naturally reared and cross-fostered WKY rat and SHR pups. 3. The milk sodium concentration fell in both strains (WKY rat: 31.8 ± 2.0 to 15.2 ± 1.2 mmol/L; SHR 31.9 ± 2.5 to 18.2 ± 1.6 mmol/L; P < 0.001), as did potassium (P < 0.001), over lactation, but there were no differences between strains. Calcium and magnesium concentrations increased (P< 0.001), although SHR dam's milk contained less calcium (P < 0.001) than that of WKY rat dams during the third week of lactation. 4. Spontaneously hypertensive rat pups ingested less milk (P<0.05) than WKY rat pups; therefore, their cumulative sodium intake over postnatal days 4–15 was significantly lower than that of WKY rat pups (WKY rat vs SHR: 84.4 ± 3.6 vs 59.7 ± 2.6 μmol/g bodyweight, respectively; P < 0.05) and fostered SHRX pups (77.7 ± 7.0 μmol/g bodyweight; P < 0.05). Potassium and magnesium intakes were comparable between SHR, WKY rat and SHRX pups, but SHR pups ingested significantly less calcium than either WKY rat pups (136.1 ± 6.4 vs 200.1 ± 9.5p, mol/g bodyweight, respectively; P<0.05) or SHRX pups (200.0 ± 18.0 μmol/g bodyweight; P<0.05). 5. These data show that the neonatal SHR experiences a period of sodium deficiency during the developmental stage when cross-fostering is effective in lowering blood pressure. This is consistent with the reported up-regulation of the renin-angiotensin system observed in SHR at this time and may have a long-term influence on blood pressure.

Breast augmentation with silicone implants: the role of surgical drainage—report on 502 consecutive patients

Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures worldwide. We report on a series of 502 consecutive cosmetic breast augmentations by a single surgeon, using both the submuscular and submammary approaches. A vacuum drain was placed in the surgical pocket at the end of the procedure. The drain fluid collection was recorded immediately after the surgery and the following day before removal. A tenfold increase in the amount of fluid collection was noted in the drain’s reservoir. Thirteen patients presented with minor wound healing problems at the second postoperative follow-up, which were treated conservatively; two of them had the implant removed and replaced after 2 months. There were only two capsular contractions at 1-year follow-up. We focus our discussion on the drainage in the early postoperative period and conclude that the routine use of a surgical drainage reduces the risk for complications. Based on our findings, we advocate that short-term routine use of a surgical drain is advisable.     

不同类型正常乳腺表观扩散系数值差异的研究

目的 研究不同类型正常乳腺表观扩散系数（ADC）值的差异，探讨ADC值与组织学分型之间的关系。方法 采用单次激发平面回波（EPI）技术，扩散敏感因子（b）值分别为0、500、1000s／mm^2，对62个正常乳腺（包括42例乳腺病变患者的对侧正常乳腺及10名健康志愿者20个乳腺）进行MR扫描及MR扩散加权成像（DWI）检查，计算62个正常乳腺分别在不同b值时的ADC值。将62个正常乳腺分为3型，比较3型之间ADC值的差异及不同b值时ADC值的差异。结果 42例乳腺病变患者对侧正常乳腺的DWI及ADC图与组织切片对比，不同类型乳腺组织学结构不同，其DWI及ADC图表现亦有差异。62个正常乳腺分为致密型10个，分叶斑点型42个及退化型10个。致密型和分叶斑点型乳腺随b值降低ADC值升高，而退化型乳腺随b值降低ADC值变化不明显。b=1000—0s／mm^2时，致密型、分叶斑点型、退化型乳腺ADC值分别为（1．70±0．37）、（1．93±0．46）、（1．18±0．65）×10^-3mm^2／s，3组间比较差异有统计学意义（F=12．998，P=0．000）。不同b值时每2种类型间进行单因素方差分析，致密型和分叶斑点型之间差异无统计学意义（F=2．167，P=0．147）；致密型和退化型之间、分叶斑点型和退化型之间差异均有统计学意义（F值分别为5．593、19．128，P值分别为0．029、0．000）。结论 3型正常乳腺ADC值受乳腺组织学结构的影响，致密型和分叶斑点型乳腺ADC值受b值高低的影响。
