1.Expression and clinical significance of Ki67 and calcitonin in medullary thyroid carcinoma.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2014;28(24):1921-1924
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the expression and clinical significance of Ki67 and calcitonin in medullary thyroid carcinoma(MTC).
METHOD:
The expression level of Ki67 and calcitonin was studied in 44 cases of medullary thyroid carcinoma tissue and 20 cases of adjacent nontumor tissue by SP immunohistochemistry.
RESULT:
The positive expression of Ki67 and calcitonin in medullary thyroid carcinoma tissue were 86.36% (38/44) and 100.00% (44/44) respectively. There was a significant difference between carcinoma and normal thyroid tissue (P<0.01). The overexpression of Ki67 and calcitonin in medullary thyroid carcinoma had no relationship with gender and age of patients,but had relationship with size of tumor,clinical staging and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Meanwhile, Ki67 and calcitonon had no significant correlation with each other.
CONCLUSION
The overexpression of Ki67 and calcitonin may play important role in occurrence, development and metastasis of medullary thyroid carcinoma. It may be used as an important judgement for the biological behavior of medullary thyroid carcinoma.

2.Diagnosis and treatment of thyroid microcarcinoma.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2014;28(24):1911-1917
Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is defined as a papillary thyroid carcinoma measuring less than 10 mm in diameter. With the development of ultrasonic technology and the popularization of physical examination, the incidence of PTMC increased dramatically. Routine preoperative diagnostic methods include clinical examination, thyroid ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy. But its treatment methods are still controversal. In this paper, we review literatures in recent years and discuss the clinical common problems of PTMC.

3.A childhood nasopharyngeal carcinoma with huge mass in skull base.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2013;27(18):1030-1031
UNLABELLED:
The patient chiefly complained about headache and facial pain with recurrent epistaxis during the past two months. The pain started from the teeth and intermittent pinching headache especially on the left side. She also had mild epistaxis which healed itself. Later on the epistaxis became severe which couldn't be easily cured. Her nasopharyngoscopy examination showed a mass in nasopharynx while cranial CT scan indicated a huge mass in nasopharynx with erosion of skull base. Enhanced CT scan showed significant thickness in nasopharynx, upwards which became a huge mass breaking through skull base especially on the left side. Adjacent parapharyngeal space and paranasal sinuses and skull base were widely involved with the enlargement of neck lymph nodes. The chronic mastoiditis, ethmoiditis and maxillary sinusitis were also found.
DIAGNOSIS
nasopharyngeal nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (T4N2M0 stage IV).

4.Study and advance of Ki67 expression in medullary thyroid carcinoma
Chinese Journal of Endocrine Surgery 2016;10(4):340-342
Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a kind of neuroendocrine tumor that originates from calcitoninproducing parafollicular C-cells of the thyroid.Its incidence,diagnosis and treatment are unique.Ki67 is a nuclear antigen related to cell proliferation.It plays an important role in tumor occurrence and development,and it has important clinical significance in a variety of malignancies.Ki67 proliferation index has become classification index in neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract.In this paper,we review the study of medullary thyroid carcinoma and the expression of Ki67 in medullary thyroid carcinoma.
5.The analysis of the calcification in differentiating malignant thyroid neoplasm and the molecular mechanisms for the formation of the calcification.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2012;26(16):763-766
The purpose of this review is to investigate the value of the calcification in differentiating malignant thyroid neoplasm and the molecular mechanisms for the formation of the calcification. Many published reports have proved the presence of calcifications in thyroid neoplasm and calcified nodules in these studies are more frequently malignant than noncalcified nodules. Through viewing the related references, we found that psammoma bodies (PBs), Runx2, osteocalcin, osteopontin, CD44v6 play an important role in the molecular mechanisms in the formation of the calcification in PTC. But further study is required for elucidating the mode of action.

Thyroglossal duct carcinoma is a malignant tumor which occurs in the thyroglossal duct cyst. The incidence of thyroglossal duct carcinoma has been reported as approximately 1%. Up to now, just about 250 cases of thyroglossal duct carcinoma have been reported in the literature,most of which are single case reports and small case series. In most cases, the diagnosis of the thyroglossal duct carcinoma is not made until the histologic examination after surgery operation. The preoperative examination such as CT or fine needle aspiration cytology can help the preoperative diagnosis. But the surgical treatment for the thyroglossal duct carcinoma is still controversial. Now we report a case of a thyroglossal duct carcinoma combined with systemic lupus erythematosus. The patient herself found an anterior neck mass in the median submental region one year ago. The preoperative CT examination suggested thyroglossal duct cyst with pouch canceration(papillary carcinoma). Then she underwent a Sistrunk procedure and level I neck dissection, and the histopathological diagnosis was thyroglossal duct carcinoma. The patient was treated with levothyroxine therapy at suppressive dose after the surgery. Now the patient is at regular follow-up with no relapse occur.

OBJECTIVE:
lo discuss the inmtluence of different thyroidectomy on perioperative blood calcium concentration.
METHOD:
Total number of patients was 240. These patients of thyroid tumors were recruited. Clinical and follow-up datum were retrospective analyzed.
RESULT:
Patients were divided into four groups by different operative methods. Group one was patients taken one-side thyroidectomy, group two taken one-side lymph node dissection plus, group three taken two-sides thyroidectomy,and group four taken one or two sides lymph node dissection plus. Group two was easier to become hypocalcemia and their calcium concentration decreased more remarkably, compared with group one. Patients taken two-sides thyroidectomy had the familiar outcome.
CONCLUSION
Patients taken lymph node dissection were easier to become hypocalcemia, compared with patients only taken thyroidectomy.
