[Lifting and blepharoplasty].

Abstract

The term face lifting enconpasses a variety of surgical procedures. Their goal is to obtain a rejuvenated look: frontal lift, temporal lift, cervico facial lift. The mask lift tends to a more radical modification of the upper third and mind third of the face. Its indications, with the psychological counterpart must be cautiously decided. The video endoscopy has recently modified and reduced the importance of the incision in frontal and mask lift. The blepharoplasties may be performed separately or, in combination with a face lift. The upper blepharoplasties rejunevate the look. The lower blepharoplasties are mostly indicated in baggy eyelids.

Identification of a novel mutation in a Korean patient with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy.

Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a late-onset muscle disorder characterized by progressive dysphagia and bilateral ptosis. Mutations in the polyadenylate binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1) gene have been found to cause OPMD. The typical mutation is a stable trinucleotide repeat expansion in the first exon of the PABPN1 gene, in which (GCG)(6) is the normal repeat length. We investigated a Korean patient with OPMD and identified a novel mutation: a heterozygous insertion of a 9-bp sequence [(GCG)(GCA)(GCA); c.27_28insGCGGCAGCA] instead of the (GCG) repeat expansion, resulting in an in-frame insertion of three alanines (p.A10insAAA). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a genetically confirmed case of OPMD in Korea.
