Surgical remodeling of the silhouette by aspiration lipolysis or selective lipectomy

The author, a pioneer in originating the technique of suction lipectomy, discusses in detail the pathophysiology of the fat cell and fat metabolism. In addition, he describes the surgical means by which, since 1977, he has popularized this innovative new approach to the treatment of unsightly fat deposits in many sites in the body, including the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, hips, arms, ankles, breasts, and submental regions.     

The fat nose

The fat or sebaceous nose,^* with its thick, bulky skin filled with prominent sebaceous glands, is often improved surgically only by the use of external excisions of this tissue. The author describes several variations of this technique with representative cases.     

Metabolic rate and substrate oxidation of young males with obesity at the different sleep stages

ObjectiveInsufficient and poor-quality sleep among young adults is closely related to obesity and may impact metabolic processes. The mobilization and use of endogenous substrates during sleep, especially fat oxidation, is essential for energy metabolism. This study investigated whether there are differences in sleep structure, metabolic rate, substrate oxidation, and the respiratory quotient (RQ) between young males with normal weight and obesity according to sleep stages and overnight sleep.MethodsFifteen young males with normal weight and fifteen with obesity posited electrodes of polysomnography (PSG) and slept in the metabolic chamber for estimation of sleep structure, sleep metabolic rate (SMR), carbohydrate oxidation (CHOO), fat oxidation (FATO), and RQ. Fat-free mass (FFM) was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis.ResultsThe sleep period time (p = 0.038) and total sleep time (p = 0.032) were significantly shorter in the obesity group than in the normal-weight group. The obesity group also had a longer sleep latency (p = 0.034) and more sleep-turning events (p = 0.018). CHOO/FFM and the RQ were higher in the obesity group while FATO/FFM was significantly higher in the normal-weight group. FATO/FFM was also higher in the normal-weight group in each sleep stage whereas the RQ was higher in the obesity group (p < 0.05).ConclusionsYoung males with obesity showed lower fat oxidation and more dominant carbohydrate-derived fuel oxidation than normal-weight during sleep and experienced shorter sleep periods and total sleep time.     

全静脉营养液的合理应用

目的：探讨全静脉营养液的合理应用,以避免或减少并发症的发生;方法：查文献,从适应证、营养状况评定、组方、配制、药物的加入、输入、监测及及时过渡到肠内营养几个方面综述全静脉营养液的合理应用;结果：营养状况的准确评定、科学组方、合理配制、规范输入、准确监测、以及及早过渡到肠内营养,是全静脉营养液合理应用的重要环节;结论：全静脉营养液的合理应用,对避免或减少并发症的发生,成功地进行完全胃肠外营养有重要意义。     

单纯性肥胖症瘦素水平的临床意义

目的 :探讨单纯性肥胖症血清瘦素 (Leptin)及其临床意义。方法 :用ELISA法检测 48例单纯性肥胖症 (体重指数≥ 2 5 )和 40例健康对照者的血清Leptin水平。结果 :肥胖症组血清瘦素水平明显高于健康对照组 (P <0 .0 0 1) ,女性几乎较男性高 2倍以上。瘦素与BMI及脂肪含量呈正相关 (相关系数r分别为男性r =0 .36 ,0 .33 ,P <0 .0 5 ;女性r =0 .90 ,0 .87,P <0 .0 5 )。结论 :单纯性肥胖症血清瘦素水平升高 ,提示瘦素抵抗存在 ,可能在肥胖的发生发展中起重要作用     

脂肪栓塞综合征治疗体会(附12例报告)

脂肪栓塞综合征（Fat Embolisim Syndrome,简称FES）是骨折早期最严重的并发症之一,临床上常常误诊误治。我院1988年至1998年共收治12例,经积极治疗,11例救治成功,1例抢救无效死亡。本文对FES的发病机制、诊断、治疗、预防等进行了进一步的讨论。

Lipoma of the temporal region: a rare case series

Lipomas are common benign tumours that can occur in most parts of the body. Lipomas arising from the deep temporal fat pad, found between the two layers of the deep temporal fascia, are rare, however; there has been only one documented case report to our knowledge. We describe a second case arising from the temporal fat pad in a patient treated at our unit, having previously reported the first one, and discuss the relevant anatomy and management.
