Reconstruction of the nose is very old surgical procedure and, in fact, represents the beginnings of plastic surgery. In reconstruction, an effort has to be made in order to achieve a normal look. A surgeon must choose carefully the method of reconstruction, taking into consideration the skin color, texture and nasal topography. Full-thickness nasal defects in alar region are very difficult for reconstruction due to anatomic characteristics and structures, which are very important for normal breathing and cosmetic result. Our study analyzed 16 patients with full-thickness defect of alae nasi. Folded nasolabial flaps were used for reconstruction of these defects. Good results were achieved in all cases. The flap was vital. No flap necrosis was reported in any of these patients. The lining of the nose was good. Postoperatively, the alar edge was thickened, but it became thinned after six months. The incision in donor?s region was well placed in the natural line of nasolabial fold. It was concluded that folded nasolabial flap was extremely good one-step procedure for reconstruction of full-thickness defects of alar region. .

Closure of nasal defect remains a challenge for surgeons. There are several ways to do nasal reconstruction, including donor site for nasal reconstruction due to its vascularity that is superior to other areas. Methods: This is a case report of a 75-year old male patient with Squamous Cell Carcinoma on his left nostril who underwent wide excision. This action left a 4-cm defect, whilst the nasal septum remained intact. This defect closure was using V-Y advancement full thickness nasolabial flap in one step. This defect closure was using V-Y advancement full thickness nasolabial flap in one step. Results: The defect closure was performed with tum over local (nasobialis) flap from the left side of the nasal cartilage. The superiority of this flap, it is able to be performed bulking, so that closure with turn over local nasolabial flap has been a sole option in nostril reconstruction for decades, which gave very good cosmetic results. After being followed for 1 month after surgery, the flap was viable, the contour was well formed, the scar was minimal, and there was no respiratory disruption. The patient was satisfied by the results. Conclusion: Nasolabial turn over local flap can be used as an option to close a relatively wide nostril

In this paper, we propose for the first time the synthesis of α-MoO3 nanorods in a one-step procedure at mild temperatures. By changing the growth parameters, the microstructure and controllable morphology of the resulting products can be customized. The average diameter of the as-prepared nanorods is about 200 nm. The electrochromic and capacitance properties of the synthesized products were studied. The results show that the electrochromic properties of α-MoO3 nanorods at 550 nm have 67% high transmission contrast, good cycle stability and fast response time. The MoO3 nanorods also exhibit a stable supercapacitor performance with 98.5% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles. Although current density varies sequentially, the nanostructure always exhibits a stable capacitor to maintain 100%. These results indicate the as-prepared MoO3 nanorods may be good candidates for applications in electrochromic devices and supercapacitors.

The all processes for manufacturing materials parts of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) are discussed in the paper. The films are made in one step by the ways of APS, VPS, EVD, which are usually used to produce the electrolyte and interconnect. The films are thin and good gas-resistance, but with relatively high cost. All parts of SOFC are made by the following ways, such as sol-gel, tape casting, tape calendaring and screen printing, which are suitable for manufacturing samples in industry with the cheapest process by co-sintered together ways.

The operative management of midline full-thickness abdominal wall gaps is difficult, often requires several surgical procedures and is associated with significant short- and long-term complications. A rectus abdominis-posterior sheath (RAPS) flap with skin grafting provides a tension-free one-step repair which was used in three patients successfully with midline abdominal wall (including the skin) gaps who had multiple previous operations related to intra-abdominal malignancy. No complications occurred in these patients in relation to this procedure.

AbstractIn their response to our article »Office Hours«, Nicole Deitelhoff and Lisbeth Zimmermann issue three major points of critique towards our proposal of a critical approach to norm research: They criticize, firstly, our discussion of constructivist norm research, secondly, our use of the concepts of local and Western and, thirdly, the overall critical potential of our proposed approach, which they criticize as going merely beyond an unmasking gesture. We take our response to our critics, firstly, as an opportunity to clarify some of the arguments made in our article. Secondly, we confront the points of criticism outlined above and show that Deitelhoff’s and Zimmermann’s critique can only be maintained if one accepts their specific reading of our article. Moreover, it gets tangled up in three major contradictions and is built upon a problematic understanding of the relation between empirical facticity and normative evaluation.
