When insulin was administrated intravenously, she was able to maintain favorable glycemic control even under 24 U/day of regular insulin; indicating that subcutaneous insulin resistance (SIR) was accompanied. To choose an optimal insulin regimen, we performed subcutaneous insulin challenge tests without or with heparin mixture and found a cocktail of insulin lispro and heparin could reduce blood glucose levels markedly. In consequence, she achieved favorable blood glucose control by continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion of the cocktail. In summary, the insulin and heparin challenge tests are useful for choosing an optimal insulin regimen in cases of SIR. This article is protected by copyright.

METHODS In this prospective review chart study, a total of 58 patients were included (from July 2018 to July 2019). All participants underwent facial thread lifting using APTOS. The patients were followed up first week, third, and sixth month after lifting surgery. Outcomes were assessed by two surgeons and patients based on the GAIS score. All data were analyzed by SPSS-17 software with chi-square test. RESULTS A total of 58 patients (Mean ± SD 52.52 ± 10.58) (F 45, Mean ± SD53.13 ± 11.27 years, M13, Mean ± SD 50.38 ± 9.43 years) were included in the study. The most common sites for the face-lifting surgery were midface and mandibular (N = 45, 77.5%), neck (N = 10, 17.3%), and nose (N = 3, 5.2%), respectively. The level of satisfaction remained unchanged (after 6 months), about 80%, for the patients, increased
