Orphanin FQ/nociceptin in the ventromedial nucleus facilitates lordosis in female rats.

The localization of opioid receptor-like (ORL-1) orphan receptor in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH) suggested a role for this opioid system in the regulation of lordosis behavior. Recently, the ligand for ORL-1, orphanin FQ/nociceptin (OFQ/N), has been characterized and also demonstrated to be present in the VMH. The present experiments examined whether OFQ/N in the VMH facilitates lordosis behavior in estrogen-primed, sexually unreceptive female rats, and whether estrogen regulates ORL-1 levels in the VMH. Estrogen was shown to increase ORL-1 immunoreactivity in the VMH, and microinfusions of OFQ/N into the VMH facilitated lordosis behavior in a dose-dependent manner.

Contouring the hip and the abdomen.

This article describes the surgical procedures used for the aesthetic improvements of the flanks and abdomen. A clinical classification for patient selection regarding when to use liposuction, surgery, or both, is included. Isolated flankplasty, isolated abdominoplasty, and combined flanks with abdominoplasty performed in the same stage are reviewed. Finally, secondary problems after traditional abdominoplasty are evaluated. Solutions are described and illustrated.

Philosophy, technical principles, selection, and indication in body contouring surgery.

The experiences of almost three decades of performing various types of body contouring surgery, in both pre- and postlipoplasty periods, using many different techniques are described. Contouring surgery for such body areas as the abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs, and buttocks is discussed in detail.

Flankplasty: a specific treatment to improve body contouring.

A complete study of the flank region's unaesthetic distortions is reported. Comments regarding and illustrations of the different clinical appearances of local skin turgor and fat deposits are also noted. A classification of the different types of flank distortions, whether or not combined with similar problems of the surrounding regions, complete the study for the indication of correct treatment. Liposuction, surgery, or both, combined in the same or different stages, complete the main steps of the procedure.

Body sculpturing.

Body contouring surgery is a routine procedure used to improve the aesthetic aspect of the trunk and may be performed in one or more surgical stages. It may involve the abdomen, breasts, flanks, lumbar area, buttocks, trochanter, upper arms, and upper-inner thigh. The author discusses suction lipectomy, augmentation mammoplasty, breast reduction and mastopexy, abdominoplasty, surgery of the trochanter and buttocks, surgery of the thigh, brachioplasty, and combined procedures.

Mammary reduction combined with reverse abdominoplasty.

We present the surgical technique of reverse abdominoplasty combined with mammary reduction in a single stage. The technical details are described, with special reference to patient selection and postoperative care. Comments about the midsternal scar line are also included.

Dental rotation in cleft lip.

In patients with untreated cleft lip and permanent dentition, the central superior incisors are usually rotated. We use a technique that we call "dental rotation" to adjust these teeth into normal position and occlusion. This technique avoids having a hard structure (a rotated tooth) press against the mucosal sutures in a lip closure. In addition, a better aesthetic appearance of the dental arch results.

A transverse thoracoabdominal skin flap for closure after radical mastectomy.

For closure of radical mastectomy defects, we present a new rotation flap using thoracoabdominal skin which crosses the midline of the trunk. This allows a rapid closure without the necessity of a delay.

The augmentation-reduction mammaplasty.

The authors have presented a technique of augmentation mammaplasty with simultaneous treatment of glandular ptosis. They recommend this double procedure-one operation surgery for those with small and ptotic breasts, where treatment by a single procedure would not suffice to give an esthetically proportioned breast. This technique is simple, should pose no circulatory problems to the involved flaps, offers a short hospital stay and a fast recovery, and avoids two separate procedures.
