Objective To investigate the clinical significance of fine needle aspiration biopsy and immunohistochemical markers in differential diagnosis of thyroid nodule.Methods One hundred and eighty-five cases of thyroid nodule were enrolled in the study.All cases received preoperative fine-needle aspiration biopsy and immunocytochemistry.Results The sensitivity,specificity,diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration biopsy to detect diagnosis of thyroid nodules was 75.0% (21/28),85.4% (134/157),83.8%(155/185).The positive rates of p53 and galectin-3 immunodetection in discriminating benign from malignant thyroid nodules were 60.7% (17/28),85.7% (24/28),combined with p53 and galectin-3 immunodetection in discriminating benign from malignant thyroid nodules was 50.0% (14/28).The positive rates of p53 and galectin-3 immunodetection in thyroid adenomas were 0,5.1% (8/157),combined with p53 and galectin-3 immunodetection in thyroid adenomas was 1.3% (2/157).The positive rates of p53 and galectin-3 immunodetection in malignant thyroid cytologic specimens,alone or combined were significantly higher than those in thyroid adenomas,there were significant difference(P < 0.05).The diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration biopsy with p53 and galectin-3 immunodetection,alone or combined,in discriminating benign from malignant thyroid nodules [94.1%(174/185),93.5%(173/185),91.4%(169/185)] were higher or equal to those in fine needle aspiration biopsy[83.8%(155/185)],there were significant differences (P <0.05).Conclusion Immunodetection of p53 and galectin-3 combined with fine needle aspiration biopsy in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules can raise the diagnostic accuracy.

Malocclusion is an oral disease with a high prevalence. The goal of orthodontic treatment is health, aesthetics, function and stability. The transmission straight wire appliance and technique is an innovative orthodontic system with independent intellectual property rights invented by Professor Jiuxiang Lin′s team based on decades of clinical experience, which provides a new solution for the non-surgical correction of skeletal malocclusions, especially class Ⅲ malocclusion, and it is also a good carrier for the implementation of the concept of healthy orthodontics. Due to the lack of guidelines, how to implement standardized application of transmission straight wire technique remains a problem to be solved. This technical specification was formed by combining the guidance from Professor Jiuxiang Lin and joint revision by a number of authoritative experts from the Orthodontic Special Committee, Chinese Stomatological Association, with reference to relevant literatures, and combined with abundant clinical experience of many experts. This specification aims to provide reference to standardize the clinical application of transmission straight wire technique, so as to reduce the risk and complications, and finally to improve the clinical application level of this technique.
