Summary
Three impactful studies span public health, aesthetic medicine, and oral surgery. A large U.S. prospective cohort links frequent personal care product use with higher risk of adult-onset asthma, an innovative case series proposes a multi-enzyme approach for facial overfilled syndrome, and a randomized clinical trial shows a PVP–sodium hyaluronate gel improves palatal wound healing after grafting.
Research Themes
- Personal care products and respiratory health risk
- Enzymatic management of aesthetic filler complications
- Biomaterials to enhance oral mucosal wound healing
Selected Articles
1. Personal care product use and risk of adult-onset asthma: Prospective cohort analyses of U.S. Women from the Sister Study.
In 39,408 U.S. women followed for 12.5 years, moderate and frequent users of personal care products had a 19% higher hazard of adult-onset asthma compared with infrequent users. Elevated risks were consistent across beauty, hygiene, and skincare product groups, using LASSO-selected exposures and latent class patterns.
Impact: This large, prospective analysis provides robust epidemiologic evidence linking personal care product use to adult-onset asthma, informing exposure guidelines and regulatory priorities.
Clinical Implications: Clinicians should consider personal care product exposures in asthma risk assessment and counseling, particularly for women with frequent product use; public health policies may need to address ingredient-specific risks.
Key Findings
- 39,408 women with 12.5-year average follow-up yielded 1,774 incident asthma cases.
- Combined personal care product use was associated with adult-onset asthma (moderate HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.05–1.33; frequent HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.06–1.34).
- Group-specific elevated risks for beauty (HRs ~1.21–1.22), hygiene (HRs ~1.14–1.20), and skincare products (HRs ~1.20–1.21).
Methodological Strengths
- Large prospective cohort with long follow-up and 1,774 events
- Advanced analytics including LASSO and latent class analyses with multivariable Cox models
Limitations
- Self-reported product use may introduce exposure misclassification
- Lack of biomarker measurements of endocrine-disrupting chemicals limits causal inference
Future Directions: Integrate biomonitoring of specific chemicals, assess dose–response and timing, and evaluate interventions or safer alternatives to mitigate asthma risk.
2. Enzymatic Management of Facial Overfilled Syndrome: A Case Series and Narrative Review.
A five-patient case series shows that a single-session combination of hyaluronidase, collagenase, and lipase under ultrasound guidance improved facial volume and contour in facial overfilled syndrome across HA, fat, and silicone complications without significant adverse events. The accompanying narrative review contextualizes the approach and highlights the need for protocol optimization.
Impact: Introduces a pragmatic, minimally invasive enzymatic strategy for a difficult, multifiller complication where standard options are limited, potentially changing aesthetic complication management.
Clinical Implications: For facial overfilled syndrome, consider ultrasound-guided combination enzyme therapy to address HA and non-HA (fat, silicone) filler complications while counseling patients on off-label use and the need for follow-up.
Key Findings
- Single-session combined hyaluronidase, collagenase, and lipase improved facial volume/contour in all five patients.
- Effective across complications from hyaluronic acid, fat, and silicone fillers.
- No significant adverse events reported; patient-reported satisfaction improved.
Methodological Strengths
- Ultrasound-guided cannula delivery enhances precision and safety
- Includes multiple filler types to demonstrate cross-material applicability
Limitations
- Small, uncontrolled case series (n=5) limits generalizability
- Subjective outcome assessments with unclear long-term durability
Future Directions: Conduct controlled trials to optimize dosing, sequencing, and safety monitoring; compare against hyaluronidase alone and surgical options.
3. The effect of Polyvinylpyrrolidone-Sodium hyaluronate gel on palatal wound healing: a randomized controlled clinical trial.
In a randomized trial of 32 patients after free gingival grafts, a PVP–sodium hyaluronate gel improved objective wound healing (higher WHI, lower H2O2 test values) and reduced pain, chewing difficulty, and burning sensations versus control. Early postoperative bleeding was dramatically lower on day 1 in the gel group.
Impact: Provides randomized clinical evidence that a bioadhesive PVP–hyaluronate gel enhances palatal wound healing and patient comfort after grafting, supporting a practical adjunct in periodontal surgery.
Clinical Implications: Consider PVP–sodium hyaluronate gel post-FGG to reduce pain and bleeding and to accelerate mucosal healing; integrate into postoperative protocols with attention to cost and availability.
Key Findings
- Test group had significantly lower H2O2 test values on days 7, 14, and 28 versus control (p < 0.050).
- Wound Healing Index (WHI) was significantly higher on days 3, 7, 14, and 28 in the gel group.
- VAS pain, chewing, and burning scores were significantly lower on days 1, 3, 7, and 14; day 1 bleeding rate was 105-fold higher in control (p < 0.001).
Methodological Strengths
- Randomized controlled design with both objective and patient-reported outcomes
- Multiple postoperative time points enabling trajectory assessment
Limitations
- Small single-center sample (n=32) limits generalizability
- Retrospective trial registration and incomplete reporting in abstract
Future Directions: Larger, multicenter RCTs with blinded assessment and longer follow-up to confirm efficacy, define mechanisms, and evaluate cost-effectiveness.
