Results Postoperative follow-up of 6 - 12 months revealed the good results with invisible scar, good preservation of philtrum dimple and column, full vermilion and lengthened columella, good alar cartilage reposition. Conclusion The Millard method is good for UCL repair. The modified technique with a trangle flap on the vermilion edge can overcome Millard’s disavantages. The anatomic reposition of the affected alar cartilage by blunt dissection at the first stage is suitable for the oriental. 6 refs,4 figs. June 2003 Vol12展开更多

No pairwise combinations were observed in relation to GC risk. There were no cumulative effects among the pairwise interactions(ERCC5 rs2094258 and rs873601 with GSTP1 rs1695) on AG susceptibility(P_(trend) > 0.05). When the modification effect of Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection was evaluated, the cumulative effect of one of the aforementioned pairwise interactions(ERCC5 rs873601-GSTP1 rs1695) was associated with an increased AG risk in the case of negative H. pylori status(P_(trend)= 0.043).CONCLUSION There is a multifarious interaction between the DNA repair gene ERCC5 SNPs(rs2094258 and rs873601) and the metabolic gene GSTP1 rs1695, which may form the basis for various inter-individual susceptibilities to AG.展开更多

Surgical correction is often required in cases of severe deformity or significant functional impairment. Aim: To present the case of a patient with severe Peyronie’s disease who underwent surgical correction using an autologous fascia lata graft. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 77-year-old Black-African gentleman with Peyronie’s disease, presenting with a self-reported penile curvature of 70 degrees and significant sexual frustration. He was managed surgically with plaque excision followed by a tunica albuginea patch using a subcutaneously harvested autologous fascia lata graft, all performed in a single surgical session. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of individualized surgical planning and patient-specific considerations in achieving optimal outcomes in the management of Peyronie’s disease, particularly in cases requiring grafting for severe curvature.展开更多
