Abstract

The double eyelid in the Chinese population is a desirable physical feature, which is now increasingly popular and demands modern up-to-date aesthetic operations for its formation. The author describes 3 types of double eyelid operations, e.g., the ligation method, the incision method, and the skin grafting method. The advantages, disadvantages, and indications for each of these methods are evaluated and discussed. The creation of a double eyelid from an anatomic point of view is especially emphasized, with the illustrations of the anatomy and the operation made by the senior author.

Ethnic differences of the primary gene defect at the cytochrome P-450 2D6.

The cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase system is involved in the metabolism of both endogenous compounds and xenobiotics. The role of these enzymes in toxicological response is exemplified by an autosomal recessive polymorphism at the cytochrome P-450 2D6 debrisoquine-4-hydroxylase locus, which results in the severely impaired metabolism of many drugs [Gough et al. (1990) Nature 347: 773-776]. The prevalence of this polymorphism (poor metabolizer) differs considerably between ethnic groups. Here we analyzed the P-450 2D6 polymorphism in 25 Japanese and 20 Chinese by DNA-based genetic assay using peripheral leukocyte. Although the phenotype of all the normal metabolizers and 79% of the poor metabolizers could be identified in Caucasians, this DNA-based genomic assay could not predict poor metabolizers in both the Japanese and Chinese. These results indicate that the genetic mechanism of the phenotyped poor metabolizer in Orientals is different from that in Caucasians.

Detection of distinct Epstein-Barr virus genotypes in NPC biopsies from southern Chinese and Caucasians.

Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to analyze paraffin sections from 12 Caucasian patients, we detected only the prototype F Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in 10 specimens from patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This is in contrast to the higher frequency of association of "f" variants in NPC biopsies from Southern Chinese. The results of EBV genotyping support evidence that the EBV strains associated with NPC in the Southern Chinese population differ from those found in Caucasians. DNA sequencing confirmed that a simple point mutation is responsible for the restriction-fragment-length polymorphism which distinguishes the prototype F virus from the "f" variant.
