Demand for aesthetic plastic surgical procedures is expected to continue to grow, while depending on the economic performance at the macro level and changing demographic dynamics of the U.S. population. Considering all investigated factors and trends among all patients, the most commonly requested procedures by 2030 are likely to be (1) breast augmentations, (2) lipoplasties, and (3) blepharoplasties.
PurPose: The majority of chronic wounds occurs in people over age 60 and is increasing at a rate of approximately 10% per year. However, there is still no effective treatment method for such wounds because the mechanism has not been fully elucidated. We have found both high ROS production and MMPs expression in the ischemic wound of young animal, which correlated with high levels of MAPKs. The present study aimed to test the hypothesis that the ROS/MAPK/MMPs signaling axis plays an important role in pathobiological process of chronic wound in elderly by using small interference RNA (siRNA) approach in a novel ischemic wound model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
