A new surgical procedure for little toe polysyndactyly without skin graft.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Breast capsular contracture (BCC) is a commonly adverse event postmammoplastly characterized by an immune response mediated by cytokines and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 resulting in excessive synthesis and deposit of extracellular matrix around the breast implant. Presence of TGF-β1 polymorphisms has...
