Objective To compare the therapeutic effects between cervical and extra-cervical surgical approaches for endoscopic thyroidectomy . Methods From October 2012 to December 2013, forty-four thyroid goiter patients were divided into two groups randomly .Group A underwent modified Miccoli endoscopic thyroidectomy ( n =20 ) and group B underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy via breast areola approach ( n=24 ) .The operative time , intraoperative blood loss , pain in 24 hours postoperatively , drainage volume , postoperative hospital stay , hospital cost , complication and cosmetic results between the two groups were compared . Results Compared with group B, group A had shorter operative time [(77.9 ±28.3) min vs.(97.9 ±30.0) min, t=-2.259, P=0.029], less intraoperative blood loss [(15.9 ±8.7) ml vs.(29.5 ±16.1) ml, t=-3.384, P=0.002], less pain in 24 hours postoperatively ( no pain, endurable pain , intolerable pain in group A and B were 15, 5, 0 and 7, 15, 2 cases respectively , Z=-3.066, P=0.002), less postoperative drainage volume [(31.7 ±10.3) ml vs.(57.0 ±14.6) ml, t=-6.511, P=0.000], but poorer cosmetic results (very dissatisfied, not satisfied, satisfied, comparatively satisfied, and very satisfied in group A and B were 1, 4, 5, 6, 4 and 0, 1, 4, 5, 14 cases respectively, Z=-2.723, P=0.006).There was no significant difference in postoperative hospital stay and hospital cost between the two groups (P>0.05).One case suffered transient hoarseness in group A and one case had trembling hand due to low calcium level in group B and both of them recovered 1 month after symptomatic treatment .No permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury , parathyroid injury or other complications occurred in both groups . Conclusions Cervical approach is minimally invasive and leads to good cosmetic results while extra-cervical approach causes bigger trauma but leads to better cosmetic results.Patients with high cosmetic reguest may choose endoscopic thyroidectomy via breast areola approach .

ObjectiveTo sum up the experience on diagnosis and treatment for patients of hyperthyroidism complicated by thyroid cancer. MethodsBetween 1994 and 2000, 300 hyperthyroidism patients were admitted, among them 12 suffered concomittent thyroid carcinoma and received surgical therapy and pathologic examination. ResultsIn this series thyroid carcinoma occurred in 4%(12/300) in patients with hyperthyroidism, but correct preoperative diagnosis was obtained in only one (3%) of the 300 cases. Bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy was initially performed in all 12 cases with 7 cases undergoing additionally ipsilateral total thyroidectomy when a cancer was identified. Two cases underwent functional cervical clearance of lymph nodes. Postoperative follow-up of 9 mos to 6 years found no recurrence. ConclusionIn patients of hyperthyroidism a thyroid cancer may develop on the background of immunodeficiency and endocrine dysfunction. In patients with hyperthyroidism, a thyroid nodule found perioperatively must be biopsied for frozen section to guide the surgical modality.

[Objective] To investigate the difference of bone Absorption function of the rat osteoclast(OC) in different cultural methods, and the difference in the levels of mRNA expression of bone Absorption key gene, ATPase a3 gene, and provide the basis for further investigation on the OC in vitro. [Methods] with mechanical separation method, mature osteoclast was separated from inner wall of 24 hours newborn rat long bones medullary cavity; and induction culture methods, bone marrow cell was induced to osteoclast like cell(OLC) by using 1,25(OH)2D3.The morphological and functional change of osteoclast was observed and the difference in the level of ATPase a3 mRNA expression was determined.[ Result]OC and OLC are multinucleated giant cells, which can be stained positive by potartrate resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP), and can form bone Absorption lacuna. The number of OLC in induction method is more than in mechanical separation method, but bone Absorption lacuna is smaller and shallower than the early stage of induction. The late stage of OCL is extremely similar to OC. There is no significant difference of ATPase a3 mRNA expression from the cells between mechanical separation 8 hour and induction culture 6 days, but either of them is significantly less than inducing 8 days. [Conclusion]Induction method can produce a large number of OLC which is superior to mechanical separation method, but its bone resorption function is weaker in the earlier stage, because bone resorption function is associated with the number of nucleus. The late stage of OCL is extremely similar to OC of mechanical separation method. And it can be used in any experiments.

Expression of endogenous ouabain in placenta and the concentrations of serum ET-1 and NO were examined in 30 patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP) and 30 healthy pregnant women to investigate the effect of endogenous ouabain on HDCP. Compared with the healthy pregnant group, the expression of endogenous ouabain dramatically increased in the HDCP groups (P<0.01). There was a significantly positive correlation between the expression of endogenous ouabain with ET-1 (r=0.5567, P<0.01), while the correlation of endogenous ouabain and NO was significantly negative (r=-0.6895, P<0.01). As expected, the correlation between ET-1 and NO was negative (r=-0.7796, P<0.01). ET-1 concentrations of maternal and cord sera in HDCP groups were significantly higher in comparison with healthy pregnant group (P<0.01). On the contrast, NO concentrations were much lower in the maternal and cord sera of HDCP groups as compared with healthy pregnant group (P<0.01). Our data suggest that endogenous ouabain is directly involved in the nosogenesis of HDCP, with accompanying decreased NO and the elevated of ET-1.

Objective To investigate the formation and special cell biological behavior of osteoclasts.Methods The live-cell imaging technology was adopted to consecutively and dynamically observe the whole process of multinuclear osteoclast formation induced by RANKL and M-CSF from rat peripheral blood monocyte.Meanwhile,the inverted phase contrast microscopy,TRAP staining,and scanning electron microscopy were also applied to identify the osteoclast.Results After 2-week cultivation,a great number of apocytes were found by the inverted phase contrast microscopy,and most apocytes and monocytes had positive reaction after TRAP staining.Moreover,many bone resorption lacunae in which osteoclasts were perhrming bone resorption function could be found in the bone slice under the scanning electron microscope.Live-cell imaging observation showed that the multinuclear osteoclasts were generated through self-fusion of monocytes,fusion of monocytes and apocytes,as well as fusion between apocytes.All fusion processes occurred under the condition of cell adherence.Time-lapse Microcinematography observation showed diverse shapes of osteoclasts and the cell division of multinuclear osteoclasts.Conclusion Rat peripheral blood monocyte can develop into osteoclast under induction of RANKL and M-CSF.Osteoclast can form gigantic apocyte via various types of cell fusion to increase its nucleus number and cell volume,vary its shape,and increase the area of plasma membrane.On the other hand,osteoclast can decrease its cell volume and nucleus number via cell division to adapt the needs of local morphology,biomechanics and bone resorption dynamics.It suggests that this non-mitosis cell division is a special cell biological behavior of osteoclast,which may be the basis of exerting its function and improving bone resorption efficiency.
