Microvascular free-flap salvage of the diabetic foot: a 5-year experience.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The major intrinsic cause of facial skin degeneration is age, associated with extrinsic factors such as exposure to sun. Its major pathologic causes are degeneration of the elastin matrix, with loss of oxytalan and elaunin fibers in the subepidermal region, and actinic degeneration of elastin fibers that los...
