Objective To study the clinicopathology characteristics of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thymiditis, HT) with occult papillary thyroid carcinoma (occult PTC) in order to improve its diagnostic and therapeutic accuracy. Methods A restrospective analysis was done on the clinical materials of 28 cases of HT with occult PTC from July 1999 to July 2005. All cases were confirmed by operation and pathologic biopsy. Clinical and gross findings were collected. All HE slides were reexamined and immunostains for CK19, galectin-3,and bcl-2 were performed (Envision method). Results In total 189 cases of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis,28cases (14.8%,28/189)had coexistent occult papillary thyroid carcinoma. There were 19 females and 9 males with median age of 36.7 years old. Normal TSH presented in 11cases (39.3%), high in 8 cases(28.6%), and low in 9cases (32.1%). All tumor diameter was counted for <0.8 cm, 16 cases (57.1%) tumor diameter 0.2~0.5 cm, 12 cases (42.9%) >0.5 cm. Coarse calcification was seen in 6 cases(21.4%) in color ultrasonic exam and CT scans. Follow-up data showed that 28 patients were all alive with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis for 2 to 7 years by December 2007. Conclusion There are no special clinical characteristics in coexistent HT with occult PTC.Coarse calcification in HT in the group of middle-aged women increase the likelihood of the diagnosis. But the diagnosis depends on pathology. Because of the high incidence of occult PTC in HT population, it would be necessary to keep an eye on this particular type of thyroid carcinoma, and multiple sampling in suspected area of HT specimen is advised in the hope not to miss any small tumor in clinical practice.

The gold hollow nanospheres have been synthesized by sacrificE-template method and the obtained sample has been characterized by TEM, SEM and XRD. The amperometric formaldehyde gas sensor was assembled with gold hollow nanospheres as the active electrode material and 1 mol/L KOH solution as electrolyte. The equation of linear regression(y=16.63x+4.063×10-7, r=0.9989)between the oxidation current(y(A))and the concentration of formaldehyde(x/(mol/L)) was obtained at the formaldehyde concentration in the range of 0 to 2.23×10-6 mol/L. The sensitivity of the sensor with gold hollow nanospheres as active material increased by about 70% compared with the sensor made of nanoparticles which had the same gold-loading in the work electrode, this method exhibits an advantage of decrease in the cost of the noble metal. This kind of sensor shows potential application in formaldehyde gas detection in this range due to its excellent sensitivity, stable response and good linear relationship.

Objective To explore the effects of nerve growth factor (NGF) and low frequency electricity stimulus on the configurations of skeletal muscle cells and the change of muscle fibre types in the denervated skeletal muscle separately.Methods The denervated rat model was established and model animals were injected with the NGF and given the stimulus (frequency=2 Hz) about 30 days. The configurations and the change of muscle fibre types were observed by immunohistochemistry and image analysis.Results The muscle fibre was in chaos and the boundary was not obvious among cells in the denervated rats; the muscle fibre of the denervated rats with NGF injection and low frequency electricity stimulus was more regular and the boundary of cells was clearer, the cells number was more than those of the denervated rats. Compared to normal rats, the proportion of Ⅰ muscle fibre in the denervated rats increased ( P<0.05), whereas the proportion of Ⅱ muscle fibre decreased ( P<0.05); it had no significant differences of the two types of muscle fibre between the denervated rats with NGF injection, low frequency electricity stimulus and the denervated rats ( P<0.05).Conclusion NGF injection and low frequency electricity stimulus can make the configurations of denervated muscle to better.

Objective:
This paper studies the nutritional and vision health status of Tibetan migrant students and the differences between the local students in Lanzhou and them to provide a theoretical basis for nutrition intervention and vision protection for students.
Methods:
Cluster sampling method was used to select 2 434 students migrating from Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture to a boarding middle school, and 3 291 students from three middle schools in Qilihe District of Lanzhou from September to December 2020. All the students were administered physical and visual examination. Proportion of nutritional status, poor eyesight and myopia by gender and age groups between Tibetan migrant students and local students were analyzed.
Results:
The detection rate of overweight and obesity in Tibetan migrant boys(2.8%,5.7%) and girls(11.0%,8.3%) was lower than that of local students of the same sex(5.6%,8.3%;24.9%,20.9%) ( χ 2=12.17,7.21, P <0.05; χ 2=81.33,91.34, P <0.05); The detection rate of malnutrition in Tibetan migrant boys(9.9%) was higher than that in local boys(7.2%) ( χ 2=6.65, P <0.05). The detection rate of poor vision in Tibetan migrant boys was lower than that in local boys ( χ 2=3.93, P <0.05). The detection rate of myopia was significantly lower than that of local students ( χ 2=975.82, P <0.01). The detection rate of abnormal color vision in Tibetan migrant boys was higher than that in local boys ( χ 2=8.38, P <0.05). The detection rate of abnormal color vision in Tibetan migrant girls was lower than that in local girls ( χ 2=8.08, P <0.05). The detection rate of mild and moderate visual impairment was lower among Tibetan migrant boys than local boys ( χ 2=3.88, 8.32, P <0.05); the detection rate of mild, moderate and severe myopia was lower than local boys ( χ 2= 13.72 ,55.96, 338.50, P <0.05). The detection rate of mild, moderate and severe myopia was lower among Tibetan migrant girls than local girls ( χ 2=7.62, 37.79,424.00, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Tibetan migrant students was lower than that of local students. More attention should be paid to nutrition intake of Tibetan boys to prevent malnutrition. The detection rate of myopia in Tibetan migrant students is low,but the detection rate of severe poor vision among Tibetan students in the junior high school group is higher than that of local students, and attention should be paid to the visual health of Tibetan students in junior high school.
