Obesity, a serious health risk factor, is often associated with depression and negatively affects many aspects of life. Injection of a formula comprising phosphatidylcholine (PPC) and deoxycholate (DC) has emerged as an alternative to liposuction in the reduction of local fat deposits. However, the formula component mainly responsible for this effect and the mechanism behind the actions of the ...

For recent years, use of autologous fat injection has increased significantly in facial contouring surgery. Along with such increase in use, complications like atypical mycoplasma infection have been also on the increasing trend. The authors report two cases of Mycobacterium chelonae infection that occurred after autologous fat injection. Patients were treated as infection that resistant to com...

Although the injection of paraffin, mineral oil, and silicon into body parts began to be described in the 19th century, similar procedures had been practiced before that time (1). Women undergo wrinkle correction and breast augmentation, whereas men seek to achieve erectile enhancement and penile enlargement (2–5). Reports on the development of subcutaneous nodules at the sites of injection abo...

S OF PAPERS 217 were fed corn-soy diets containing 0, 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0% SP-1 for 28 days. Chicks were grown in an environmentally controlled room with feed and water provided ad libitum. At day 21, abdominal fat pads were collected from six chicks per treatment for FA analysis. At 7 and 21 days of age, 12 chicks from each treatment groups were intravenously injected with 1ml of 7% sheep red bloo...

Recent studies suggest that oxytocin (Oxt) is implicated in energy metabolism. We aimed to explore acute and sub-chronic effects of peripheral Oxt treatment via different routes on food intake and energy balance. Intraperitoneal (ip) injection of Oxt concentration-dependently decreased food intake in mice. Ip Oxt injection induced c-Fos expression in the hypothalamus and brain stem including ar...

Methods: Fat is harvested using disposable Caraway harvest cannula; processed with a bi-laminar filtration system and injected with disposable 18 gauge cannula. Intravenous clindamycin is given 1 hour before surgery and the intraoral mucosa at the site of injection is re-prepped with betadine. The upper lip is retracted and approximately 1–1.5 cm above and medial to the Stensen’s duct, the inje...

We report a case of ophthalmic artery obstruction combined with brain infarction following periocular autologous fat injection. The patient, a 44-year-old woman, visited our hospital for decreased visual acuity in her left eye and dysarthria one hour after receiving an autologous fat injection in the periocular area. Her best corrected visual acuity for the concerned eye was no light perception...
