Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative fat volume retention rate (PFVRR) after augmentation mammoplasty with autologous fat grafting is highly variable on an individual basis and challenging to be predicted. However, at present, there is a lack of further research on the relevant preoperative patient's self-related influencing factors. The early inflammatory response degree, directly influenced by preoperative inflammatory level, is an indispensable part of angiogenesis, which is a key factor in adipocyte survival. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of patients who underwent breast augmentation with autologous fat grafting performed by a senior surgeon. Preoperative patient demographics and laboratory findings relevant to inflammatory level, such as monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), were included as the independent variables. The PFVRR more than 3 months after the operation was included as the dependent variable. Key factors influencing the PFVRR were analyzed. RESULTS Sixty-three patients were included. The total volume of bilateral fat injection was 375.00 (range, 320.00-400.00) mL, and the long-term bilateral volumetric change was 106.98 (range, 69.90-181.58) mL. The mean PFVRR was 35.36% ± 15.87%, and the preoperative MLR was an independent positive influencing factor of it, while the lymphocyte (L) count was negative. By ROC curve analysis, a value of MLR equal to 0.23 was the diagnostic cut-off point for whether PFVRR was greater than 50%, and its area under the curve was 0.870, with a sensitivity of 93.33% and a specificity of 81.25%. The other hematological parameters and demographics such as age, body mass index, and donor site were not significantly correlated with the PFVRR. CONCLUSION Preoperative peripheral blood inflammatory indicators can influence the PFVRR, with the MLR positively and L count negatively. Based on the diagnostic threshold of MLR = 0.23 derived from this study, clinicians can make reasonable predictions of whether half of the injected fat volume would be retained based on preoperative blood routine tests that are readily available.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose tissue harvested by liposuctions is an available source of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). Water-jet-assisted liposuction is a favorable method for fat collection with little mechanical damage. This study aimed to investigate whether or not the water-jet-assisted liposuction made a difference in the biological characteristics of cryopreserved ASCs and fat graft survival in cell-assisted lipotransfer. METHODS Human lipoaspirates were obtained from the abdomen or thighs of 20 female participants for body contouring. A single surgeon randomly harvested 50 mL of adipose tissue by the water-jet-assisted liposuction and the conventional liposuction, respectively. Adipose-derived stem cells were isolated from lipoaspirates and then cryopreserved for 4 weeks. Cryopreserved ASCs were used to examine the surface markers, cell proliferation, migration, and adipogenic differentiation in vitro. The fat survival of ASCs-enriched grafts from different liposuctions was measured in animal models. RESULTS The cryopreserved ASCs with the water-jet assistance had better capacities of cell proliferation, migration, and adipogenic differentiation and achieved a better survival result of ASCs-enriched fat grafting. CONCLUSIONS Cryopreservation of ASCs with the water-jet force showed more excellent biological characteristics. The water-jet-assisted liposuction was superior to the conventional liposuction in obtaining ASCs and fat survival of coimplantation with grafts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Induced browning adipocytes were assumed less viable and more prone to necrosis for their hypermetabolic property. A previous study showed that browning of adipocytes was more evident in fat grafts with necrosis in humans. OBJECTIVES The authors aimed to estimate whether fat transfer-induced browning biogenesis was associated with necrosis and its potential inflammation mechanisms in murine models. METHODS Human subcutaneous adipose from thigh or abdomen of 5 patients via liposuction was injected in 100 µL or 500 µL (n = 20 per group) into the dorsal flank of 6- to 8-week-old female nude mice fed with normal chow diet and harvested after 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Control groups did not receive any grafting procedures (sham operation), where lipoaspirates were analyzed immediately after harvest. Histology and electronic microscopy, immunological analyses of browning markers, necrosis marker, and type I/II macrophages markers in mice were performed. RESULTS Histology and electronic microscopy showed browning adipocytes in fat grafts with a higher level of necrosis (0.435 ± 0.017 pg/mL for cleaved caspase-3, **P < 0.01), IL-6 (749.0 ± 134.1 pg/mL,***P < 0.001) and infiltration of type 2 macrophage profiles in mice (twofold increase, *P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Browning of adipocytes induced by fat transfer in mice is in parallel with post-grafting necrotic levels associated with elevated interleukin-6 and activated type 2 macrophage profiles, which promote browning development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Browning adipocytes induced by burn and cancer were assumed less viable and more prone to necrosis for their hypermetabolic properties. Recent studies have shown browning of white adipose after fat engraftment in mice. OBJECTIVES The authors sought to evaluate whether fat transfer could induce browning biogenesis in fat grafts in humans and if it is associated with graft necrosis. METHODS Necrotic adipose grafts were excised from 11 patients diagnosed with fat necrosis after fat grafting or flap transfer. Non-necrotic fat grafts were from 5 patients who underwent revisionary surgeries after flap transfer. Histology and electronic microscopy as well as protein and gene expression of browning-related marker analyses were performed. RESULTS Fat grafts with necrosis demonstrated a higher gene expression level of uncoupling protein-1 (greater than fivefold increase, **P < 0.01), a master beige adipocyte marker, than non-necrotic fat grafts. Electronic microscopy and histology showed that browning adipocytes were presented in necrotic adipose in patients. CONCLUSIONS Fat transfer induced browning adipocytes in patients and was evident in patients with postgrafting necrosis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study reviewed the literature regarding different fat processing techniques, in order to update the information for healthcare personnel and provide the latest evidence in selecting purification methods. METHODS PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were comprehensively searched to identify studies that compared different fat purification methods for animal and human studies published through July 2020. Papers were screened using inclusion and exclusion criteria, and relative data were collected for review. RESULTS A total of 3292 studies were identified, of which 30 were included for review. The findings of existing clinical studies showed that the filtration and washing filtration methods performed better in the volume retention rate of adipose tissue. In terms of postoperative complications (fat necrosis, nodules, cysts, etc.), the incidence of complications of centrifugation is generally higher than that of other purification methods, while Telfa gauze and washing filtration system show better safety. More comparative studies are needed to draw conclusions about clinical efficacy and satisfaction. The existing basic science studies generally believe that centrifugation has no advantage in the integrity and metabolic activity of adipose tissue. However, there is no definite conclusion about the volume retention rate of grafts in animal experiments. CONCLUSION In recent years, studies on the cost-effectiveness of various purification methods have emerged, and the efficiency advantages of commercial systems have also been gradually reflected. In the future, the purification efficiency will be improved based on ensuring clinical efficacy, which will be translated into cost savings.

Abstract
AIMS We have developed a new diagnostic technique, termed loop-mediated isothermal amplification coupled with lateral flow biosensor (LAMP-LFB), which has been successfully applied to the detection of Aspergillus fumigatus. MATERIAL AND METHODS A set of six LAMP primers was designed according to the A. fumigatus-specific anxC4 gene, which specifically recognized eight different regions of the target sequence. The LFB was employed for reporting the A. fumigatus-LAMP results, and the visual readouts were obtained within 2 min. The strains of A. fumigatus species and non-A. fumigatus species were used to test the assay's sensitivity and examine the analytical specificity of the target assay. Optimal LAMP conditions were 66°C for 50 min. The limit of detection is 100 fg. No cross-reactions were obtained, and the specificity of LAMP-LFB assay was 100%. The whole process of the assay, including 20 min of DNA preparation, 50 min of constant temperature amplification, and 2 min of detection by the sensor strip, took a total of 72 min (less than 75 min). Among 89 sputum specimens for clinical evaluation, 10 (11·23%) samples were A. fumigatus-positive by LAMP-LFB and traditional culture method, 9 (10·11%) samples were A. fumigatus-positive by PCR method. Compared with culture method, the diagnostic accuracy of LAMP-LFB method was 100%. CONCLUSIONS The novel LAMP-LFB detection technology established in the current research is a rapid and reliable detection tool for A. fumigatus. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This novel LAMP-LFB assay can quickly, specifically and sensitively detect A. fumigatus, thereby speeding up the detection process and increasing the detection rate. In addition, it can also be used as a new molecular method for detection of A. fumigatus in clinical and laboratory areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most techniques for surgical correction of gynecomastia are performed by anterior and/or lateral chest incisions, showing an "operated" appearance. Our initial experience was introduced in gynecomastia with a combination of endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy and liposuction via an axillary single incision. METHODS Between September 2018 and July 2019, a series of 45 male patients who had Simon grade I or II gynecomastia were enrolled in this study. The demographics, operative data, and postoperative complications were recorded in detail. Four independent observers gave their ratings by assigning scores of 1 to 5 for 6 main aesthetic aspects based on pre and postoperative photographs. RESULTS Endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy combined with liposuction via an axillary single incision was performed successfully in all cases. Mean operative duration was 82.6 minutes for each side (37.5-132.5 minutes). The weight of the resected glandular tissue of the 89 breasts was 26 to 130 g and the aspiration volume was 60 to 700 mL. Three unilateral subcutaneous seromas (3.3%), 5 unilateral hematomas (5.6%), and 1 bilateral minimal skin redundancy (2.2%) were encountered. Observer-reported outcomes indicated that patients with grade Ⅰ gynecomastia had significantly better aesthetic results than those with grade Ⅱb in the aspects of symmetry, shape of nipple, shape of areola, contour regularity, and overall appearance (P < .001). Patients with grade Ⅱa gynecomastia also witnessed better improvement than grade Ⅱb in shape of nipple, contour regularity, and overall appearance (P < .05). CONCLUSION Endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy combined with liposuction via an axillary single incision is a feasible minimally invasive technique for the treatment of gynecomastia. The combined method is effective in achieving satisfied aesthetic results for Simon grades I and Ⅱa gynecomastia, and it can also be an alternative choice for grade Ⅱb.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autologous fat grafting has been widely used in the field of plastic surgery, especially breast aesthetic augmentation. However, postoperative fat volume retention rate is still difficult to predict. OBJECTIVE The authors conducted a retrospective study to compare the fat volume retention rate in patients with varying lactation histories. METHODS A retrospective study was performed of patients who underwent autologous fat grafting breast augmentation in our center from 2012 to 2018. Individuals were separated into two groups according to their lactation history: Group A without a history of lactation and Group B with a history of lactation. RESULTS A total of 70 cases (137 breasts) were included (Group A, n = 40; Group B, n = 30). Patients without lactation history were younger (Group A, 25.88 years; Group B, 36.03 years, p < 0.05) and had a significantly lower mean body mass index (Group A,19.72 kg/m2; Group B, 20.83 kg/m2, p = 0.010). The proportion of donor sites varied (Group A, abdomen 25%, thigh 70%; Group B, abdomen 53.33%, thigh 46.67%, p < 0.05). The percentage of tissue volume retained of patients with a history of lactation was significantly higher (Group A, 30.42%; Group B, 41.03%, p = 0.028). CONCLUSION Significant differences in postoperative volume retention rate in different patients based on lactation history were observed. The volume retention rate after breast augmentation with autologous fat is higher in patients with a history of lactation. The physiological process of lactation may influence the response to autologous fat grafting, but further studies of the mechanism are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nosocomial infection by Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) and drug resistance of Kp among neonates is a major concern. Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp) infections are gradually increasing worldwide. Carbapenem-resistant hvKp infection has brought challenges to clinical treatment. AIM To evaluate the changes in drug resistance trends of Kp strains in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nosocomial infections, to analyse drug resistance genes and virulence genes of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) and to identify whether these CRKP strains are hvKp. METHODS A total of 80 neonates with Kp nosocomial infections from 2013 to 2018 were retrospectively studied. Drug susceptibility testing was performed on 80 Kp strains, among which the 12 CRKP strains were further studied. FINDINGS Kp accounted for 26.9% of nosocomial infections in the NICU. CRKP strains accounted for 15.0%. Among the 80 nosocomial infection Kp strains, CRKP strains accounted for 33.3% and 53.3% in 2017 and 2018 respectively. One of the 12 CRKP strains was positive in the drawing test. The 12 CRKP strains were divided into four complete genome sequence types: cgST1 (N = 2), cgST2 (N = 1), cgST3 (N = 1), and cgST4 (N = 8). Among genes that mediated carbapenem resistance, strains of cgST4 carried NDM-5, strains of cgST2 and cgST3 carried NDM-1, and strains of cgST1 carried IMP-4. None of the 12 CRKP strains carried rmpA/rmpA2 (highly related with hvKp). CONCLUSION Nosocomial infections of CRKP among neonates are becoming common, but no hvKp was found among the CRKP strains in this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autologous fat grafts are commonly employed in plastic surgery, especially for aesthetic breast augmentation. However, it is difficult to predict the postoperative fat volume retention rate. OBJECTIVES The authors conducted a retrospective study comparing the fat volume retention rates of breast lipoaugmentation performed during different phases of the menstrual cycle. METHODS The study included patients who underwent autologous fat grafting (AFG) breast augmentation from January 2012 to December 2018. Forty-eight individuals (94 breasts) were separated into 3 groups according to their menstrual stage: Group A: 10 patients (18 breasts); follicular group (end of menstruation to approximately 10 days); Group B: 15 patients (30 breasts); ovulatory group (11-17 days); Group C: 23 patients (46 breasts); luteal group (approximately 18 days to the next menstrual cramps). RESULTS Mean age, menarche age, menstrual cycle, menstruation, and body mass index were comparable among the groups (P > 0.05). Patients with a history of lactation were comparable among the groups (Group A, 50%; Group B, 53.33%; Group C, 43.48%, P > 0.05). The overall volume retention rate of patients who underwent AFG during ovulation was significantly higher (Group A, 26.94%; Group B, 49.06%, Group C, 35.73%, P = 0.023), with no significant difference in volume retention rates between the follicular and luteal phases (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Fat volume retention rates were higher when AFG breast augmentation was performed during ovulation, providing a new direction to improve long-term retention rates of autologous fat grafts. However, due to the small sample size, incomplete medical records, and lack of test data, further research is needed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4

Abstract
Microbial diversity of pit mud (PM) plays a significant role in Baijiu's flavour. Here we explored the microbial community structures and aroma substances of Wenwang Winery with high-throughput sequencing coupling with headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. We discovered that the odorant was mainly derived from 14 aroma compounds because of their OAVs ≥ 1 (OAV, the ratio of substance concentration to aroma threshold; s, on behalf of the plural), such as ethyl hexanoate (2438), ethyl octanoate (975), caproic acid (52) and etc. Moreover we also revealed that Lactobacillaceae (97·08%) was the mainly bacterial microbial community in 2-year-old PM, companied by the primarily fungi including Aspergillaceae (55·45%), Unclassified Ascomycota (11·13%) and Dipodascaceae (5·72%). Compared with the 2-year-old PM, bacterial floras in 20-year-old PM and 30-year-old PM were more abundant (i.e. Dysgonomonadaceae, Clostridium and Synerggstaceas), while no fungi were detected. Besides, the physicochemical analysis showed that the content of Lactobacillaceae was inversely associated with moisture, pH and ammonia nitrogen. By further Spearman's correlation coefficient analysis, we verified that the content of Lactobacillaceae was positively correlated with ethyl hexanoate, while negatively correlated with ethyl octanoate and caproic acid. Meanwhile, ethyl octanoate and caproic acid were positively correlated with most flora including Ruminococcaceae, Dysgonomonadaceae and Clostridiacea, which were related to physicochemical indexes. This work demonstrates promise for adjusting the physicochemical indexes of PM to affect the micro-organisms and aroma, which may provide a reference for the production of high-quality Baijiu.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autologous fat grafting is a common procedure to improve tissue deficiencies. However, the survival rate of fat grafting is unpredictable. Thymosin beta 4 (Tß4), a multifunctional peptide containing 43 amino acids, is effective in angiogenesis, inhibiting apoptosis and inflammation. OBJECTIVES The authors initially investigated the potential effect of Tß4 in fat grafting. METHODS Adipose tissue premixed exogenous Tß4 were transplanted into rabbit ears. Rabbits were randomly assigned to 3 groups: group A, 5 μg/mL Tß4; group B, 10 μg/mL Tß4; and group C, phosphate-buffered saline buffer as a blank control. The fat grafts were subjected to magnetic resonance imaging at 2, 4, and 12 weeks in vivo. Each harvested graft was analyzed at 3 time points after transplantation. RESULTS The fat grafts in the Tß4-treated groups showed better volume and weight retention, greater adipose tissue integrity, adipocyte viability, and angiogenesis. The results of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging also showed that the experimental groups increased microcirculation perfusion of the grafts. CONCLUSIONS The study proved that Tß4 could improve adipose tissue survival and neovascularization. It may be useful for fat grafting as a potential protective reagent.

Abstract
Effective harvesting procedure for adipose tissue is demanded by the affordable Good Manufacturing Practice-Compliant Production of clinical-grade adipose tissue-derived stem cells (hADSCs). Enzymatic digestion using collagenase is the most reliable method of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (hADSCs) isolation, while the optimized loading volume ratios of digestion to container during the shaking process of adipose tissue and collagenase mixture are still lacking. This study was conducted to determine the optimized loading volume ratio (mixture to container) for enzymatic digestion of Stromal/Stem Cells from lipoaspirate. Lipoaspirates were obtained from twelve women immediately after liposuction. Then tissue from each patient was divided into four groups according to different loading volume ratios in 50 ml centrifugal tube: 0.2 group, 0.4 group, 0.6 group, 0.8 group. Stromal vascular fractions (SVF) were obtained from each group, then total cell counts, viability and viable cell count were performed. hADSCs were harvested at passage (P) 2, whose morphologies, immunophenotypes, proliferation, and tri-differentiation abilities were compared. 0.4 loading volume ratio provided the highest cell yield, favorable viability and viable cell yield. The proliferation and triple differentiation ability of hADSCs obtained by 0.4 group was not inferior to that of other groups. Therefore, 0.4 may be the optimal loading volume ratio for hADSCs isolation from lipoaspirate by enzymatic digestion in current setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of breast plastic surgery is to improve the shape of the breasts. The shape of the breast is determined by several parameters and proportions; however, the proportions that have the greatest impact on breast aesthetics have not been investigated. The purpose of this study is to determine which breast proportions are crucial to aesthetics and should be given priority when surgery is designed. METHODS Breasts were divided into a high-satisfaction group and a low-satisfaction group according to an aesthetic evaluation that consisted of self-evaluations and evaluations by plastic surgeons. Three-dimensional scanning and measurement of the breasts were performed. The differences in breast parameters and proportions between the two groups were analyzed, and the ROC curve of each proportion was applied to determine which index had a significant influence on satisfaction and could predict satisfaction well. RESULTS A total of 179 unilateral breasts were evaluated and measured; of these, 68 breasts were classified as high satisfaction, and 111 were classified as low satisfaction. There were no significant differences in breast width between the two groups. In the high-satisfaction group, the absolute value and the value divided by the breast width of breast projection and the lower pole length were significantly greater than those of the low-satisfaction group. The areas under the ROC for breast projection and lower pole length, as aesthetic predictive indexes, were greater than 0.7. CONCLUSIONS Breast width emerged as the benchmark of breast aesthetic assessment. Breast projection and the lower pole length had a great impact on unilateral breast aesthetics and should be given priority when improving the breast shape, and appropriate ratio of low pole length and breast projection to breast radius might bring a more satisfying outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nodules or calcifications have been a common complication after breast augmentation with fat grafting, especially in cases with partial bolus fat grafting. There are some clinical preventive measures, but mechanisms related to this complication have not been elucidated yet. Inorganic phosphate (PI), being a product of fat metabolism, is a well-known stimulus of other kinds of pathological calcification such as vascular calcification. We aimed to determine whether PI had a similar effect on formation of nodules after fat grafting. METHODS Nodules or calcification after fat grafting models using nude mice were created by bolus fat injection. Levels of PI of necrotic liquid located in the central zone and mineralization deposition of graft were examined 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months and 7 months after bolus fat injection. External high phosphate solution was injected 3 times a week to the fat grafts for 2 months, and mineral deposition was examined. In addition, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were treated with high phosphate osteogenic differentiation medium in various concentrations and times. ADSCs were also treated with osteogenic differentiation in addition to tetramisole which could reduce the level of PI. Mineral depositions of the cells were examined. The central necrotic liquid was extracted from patients who found palpable nodules after breast augmentation with fat grafting. The level of PI of this necrotic liquid and normal lipoaspirates from patients who received normal liposuction for body contouring was compared. RESULTS The in vivo study indicated that the local PI concentration of the necrotic zone increased significantly 2 months after large volume bolus fat injection. Calcification was not formed after 2 months, but was formed after 7 months, indicating that the effect of PI on calcification was time-dependent. In addition, with the effect of external injection of high phosphate solution into the fat graft, calcification was formed after 2 months, indicating the effect of PI on calcification was dose-dependent. The in vitro study also indicated PI could induce calcification of ADSC in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The study in humans indicated that the level of PI in the necrotic zone of nodules after fat grafting was higher than that in normal lipoaspirates. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that the level of PI in the central necrotic zone was elevated after bolus fat injection, which could provide an environment to induce calcification of surrounding tissue.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic transaxillary augmentation mammaplasty breast augmentation offers several advantages over other augmentation methods. Nonetheless, this procedure is fraught with some problems, including greater surgical trauma due to the longer separation area. We hypothesized that cold separation of the interpectoral space could reduce surgical injury in comparison to the electrosurgical method. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of endoscopic-assisted transaxillary augmentation mammaplasty using cold separation versus electrosurgical separation of the interpectoral space. Methods In this prospective clinical trial, cold and electrosurgical separation of the interpectoral space were achieved using a separation shovel and monopolar electrotome, respectively. A total of 20 patients who visited our department in Beijing, China, for primary breast augmentation surgeries from October 1, 2017, and May 31, 2018, were included. The primary outcome was total postoperative drainage volume. The secondary outcomes were operative time, daily drainage volume, daily pain as assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS), and reoperation rate. Quantitative data were compared using independent-samples t test. Chi-square test was used to compare 2 classified indexes. Results The total drainage volume was significantly lower in the cold separation group than in the electrosurgical separation group (170.45 ± 75.40 mL vs 281.05 ± 148.43 mL; P = .005). The VAS score on the first postoperative day was significantly lower in the cold separation group than in the electrosurgical separation group (6.45 ± 1.93 vs 7.55 ± 1.43; P = .048). Two (20%) reoperations owing to postoperative pain or implant stiffness were performed in the electrosurgical separation group. Conclusions Cold separation is more conducive to reducing drainage, relieving postoperative pain, and causing less damage than the electrosurgical method in endoscopic-assisted transaxillary dual-plane augmentation mammaplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fat grafting has become a popular procedure in aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries due to its safety, minimal invasiveness, and favorable visual outcomes, although the volume retention rate is unpredictable. OBJECTIVES A prospective clinical study on lipoaugmentation of the breast was conducted to compare fat retention rates in the pectoralis muscle and the periglandular area. METHODS This prospective study included 20 breasts from 11 patients who underwent primary lipoaugmentation. Volume retention rate and percentage augmentation among different recipient layers, as well as complications and patient satisfaction, were evaluated. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed preoperatively and at 1 day and 3 months postoperatively. Complications were recorded, and patient satisfaction was appraised through the use of the Breast-Q questionnaire. RESULTS Breasts were injected with 207 ± 29 mL of fat, achieving overall volume retention rates of 56.63% ± 16.40%. The overall augmentation was 21.53% ± 10.27%. Volume retention rate was significantly higher (59.00% ± 13.84%) in the periglandular area than in the pectoralis muscle (47.21% ± 22.41%) (P = 0.04). Augmentation was significantly higher (32.13% ± 12.96%) in the periglandular area than in the pectoralis muscle (4.95% ± 4.23%) (P = 0.00). Pain and numbness were the only reported complications. The Breast-Q score increased significantly for the measures "satisfaction with breasts," "psychosocial well-being," and "sexual well-being." CONCLUSIONS Fat transfer is a safe and acceptable method for aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery. The periglandular area was a better recipient site than muscle for transferred fat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subpectoral and prepectoral planes have commonly been used in implant-based breast augmentation. The effect of implant plane on complication rate was still unclear. This meta-analysis demonstrated current evidence with regard to comparison of complication rates between subpectoral and prepectoral breast augmentation. METHODS Pubmed, EMBASE and Cochrane library were searched to December 2018. The results of selected studies were meta-analyzed to obtain a pooled odds ratio of the effect of subpectoral versus prepectoral breast augmentation on rates of complications. RESULTS There were significantly lower rates of capsular contracture and hematoma but higher rates of implant displacement and animation deformity in the subpectoral group compared with the prepectoral group. There was no significant difference with regard to rates of reoperation, seroma, rippling, infection and implant rupture between these two groups. CONCLUSIONS Subpectoral and subglandular breast augmentations both have their merits and demerits with regard to complications. The pros and cons of each procedure should be fully explained to patients and selection of implant plane should be considered more comprehensively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND PGGFRα+ preadipocytes are the major subpopulations that can regenerate into adipocytes. Two different types of macrophages exist in the fat tissue: the classically activated macrophage (M1) and the alternatively activated macrophage (M2). In this study, we investigated whether M1/M2 macrophages play distinct roles in adipogenic differentiation of PDGFRα+ preadipocytes. METHODS Mouse preadipocytes and macrophages were isolated from C57BL/6 male mice of 6-8 weeks. The culture supernate of M1 and M2 macrophages was collected and co-cultured with the PDGFRα+ preadipocytes. After 3 days, Oil Red O staining was used to evaluate to adipogenic differentiation of PDGFRα+ preadipocytes and the expression of adipogenic-related transcription factors (C/EBP-α, PPARγ) were also tested. RESULTS The results showed that when cultured in vitro, M1 macrophages could significantly suppress the adipogenesis of PDGFRα+ preadipocytes as well as the C/EBP-α and PPARγ expression, but M2 macrophages did not have significant influence on the adipogenesis of PDGFRα+ preadipocytes nor on C/EBP-α and PPARγ expression compared with the control group. CONCLUSIONS M1 macrophages significantly suppress PDGFRα+ preadipocyte adipogenesis which provides a possible way to improve adipogenesis and fat retention after fat-free grafting by mitigating acute inflammation and manipulating M1 macrophage levels.
