    Abstract Background: Alloplastic materials are a mainstay in Asian rhinoplasty. However, the outline of alloplastic implants can become conspicuous over time in rhinoplasty patients, which is a significant cause for revision. In revision rhinoplasty, alloplastic materials can remain a viable and affordable option in Asian patients. The acellular dermal matrices (ADM) are often used to interface between the silicone material and the skin envelope. This study assesses histologic changes following implantation of ADM-covered silicone material in rats.
    Methods: To demonstrate differences at the histologic level, silicone blocks with and without ADM were implanted in the subcutaneous plane of 10 rats. These implants were harvested after 9 weeks and examined histologically for capsule thickness and myofibroblast activity.
    Result: In the in vivo study, the presence of ADM was associated with significantly decreased capsule thickness and myofibroblast activity around the implant and maintained the structure of ADM well.
    Conclusion: The authors suggest that using the ADMs to cover silicone implants can be an alternative method for decreasing the visibility of implant contour, by the prevention of capsular contracture and the addition of a soft tissue layer to the dorsal skin envelope.

    Abstract The author has performed 108 stereotactic thalamotomies using MRI (MGSTs) without ventriculography in 77 cerebral palsy (CP) patients with dyskinesia(s) from January 1992 to January 1997. The clinical results were verified in terms of improvement of major preoperative symptom and patient's (or relative's) satisfaction using pre- and postoperative video recording and simple questionnaires. The results were as follows: excellent in 12 MGSTs, good in 69 and fair in 27. Postoperative morbidity was transient in all patients except for 2. Recurrences were noted in 6 MGSTs (5.6%). There was no death. MGST is thus a beneficial procedure for reducing dyskinetic symptom(s) of CP patients.
