Objective To get minimally invasive and cosmetic effect,minimal incision was used in thyroid surgery.Methods By using MPBS series instruments,thyroid surgeries were performed through anterior cervical tiny incision approach.Results 164 cases of subtotal theroidectomy and 78 cases of thyroid individual lobe resection were performed.The length of incision were(2.0 ± 0.5)cm,and the duration of operation time were(40 ± 10)min.the volume of blood loss were(30 ± 10)ml.There was no conversion to traditional open operation.After 3 years follow-up,short and long term complications were not found.Conclusions Minimally incision thyroid surgery has advantages of less trauma,cosmetic effect and does not compromise the safety.The disadvantages of this method is limited operative field and inconvenience for operation,which need to be further improved.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes and safety of haploidentical donor (HID)and HLA-matched sibling donor(MSD)hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT)for severe aplastic anemia(SAA).Methods:From January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2019, retrospective review of clinical data was performed for 75 SAA patients undergoing HSCT at Department of Hematology, Affiliated Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.Based upon donor sources, they were divided into two groups of MSD(49 cases)and HID (26 cases). And two groups were compared with regards to hematopoietic recovery, graft-versus-host disease(GVHD)infection and overall survival(OS).Results:Time of platelet and neutrophil engraftment of two groups was comparable(11 d vs.11 d, P=0.84; 11 d vs.12 d, P=0.08). Compared with HID group, MSD group had a lower incidence of acute GVHD(46.2% vs.18.4%, P=0.01)with a comparable incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD(26.9% vs.14.3%, P=0.24), grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ acute GVHD(15.4% vs.4.1%, P=0.09)and chronic GVHD(23.9% vs.23.1 %, P=0.71). A reactivation of CMV occurred in 27(55.1%)MSD and 22(84.6%)HID recipients( P=0.01). And the incidence of EB viremia was 69.4% and 61.5% respectively.After a median follow-up period of 54.0 and 18.5 months, the estimated 3-year OS rate of MSD and HID groups were 94.0% and 88.0% respectively ( P=0.35). Conclusions:HID HSCT is an effective and relatively safe option for SAA patients, especially for those in urgent need of treatment without MSD or refractory/relapse to immunosuppressive therapy.

Objective:To explore the risk factors and outcomes of central nervous system(CNS)complications associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT).Methods:A total of 550 recipient after HSCT in the department of hematology of Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 1 2019 to August 31 2021were enrolled.According to the occurrence of CNS complications, they were divided into the CNS group(24 cases)and the non CNS group(526 cases). The clinical information and prognosis were compared.We further analyzed the risk factors associated with CNS complications, and conducted multivariate logistic regression on statistically significant indicators.Cox regression analysis is conducted on prognostic factors such as age, gender and risk degree.Results:A total of 550 recipients were enrolled, of which 330 underwent allo-HSCT, and others received auto-HSCT.A total of 24 cases (4.36%)had CNS complications, of which 4 cases had 2 types of CNS complications.The type of CNS complications included intracranial infection(8 cases, 28.57%), transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy(TA-TMA)(6 cases, 21.43%), central tumor invasion(4 cases, 14.29%), intracranial hemorrhage(4 cases, 14.29%), leucodystrophy(2 cases, 7.14%)and unexplained encephalopathy(4 cases, 14.29%). Logistic regression analysis of risk factors related to CNS complications showed that, Platelet implantation time( β=0.084, OR=1.088, P=0.048), CMV infection( β=1.295, OR=3.65, P=0.008)is positively correlated with the occurrence of CNS complications in HSCT recipients but age( β=-0.052, OR=0.949, P=0.004)is negatively correlated with it.Nine of the 24 cases(37.50%)who experienced CNS complications died, including 3 cases of intracranial infection, 3 cases of cerebral hemorrhage, 2 cases of TMA, and 1 case of unexplained encephalopathy.Platelet implantation time is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of CNS complications in HSCT recipients. Conclusions:Our results indicated that, age, CMV infection and platelet implantation time were associated with the occurrence of CNS complications after HSCT.Platelet implantation time is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of CNS complications in HSCT recipients.
