Objective To study the application value of parathyrod in situ exposure and protection in differentiated thyroid cancer thyroid carcinoma (DTC) surgery. Methods 500 cases of DTC admitted from Jan. 2012 to Dec. 2014 were selected for the research. According to whether the parathyroid was anatomically exposed during the surgery, the patients were divided into experimental group (exposed group) and the control group (un-exposed group). Then, depending on tumor extent and risk factors, the experimental group were divided into group E1 (lateral affected glandular lobe, isthmus lobe resection and unilateral VI lymph node dissection )and E2 (total or subtotal thyroidectomy and bilateral VI lymph node dissection), while the control group were divided in-to group C1 (surgical treatment same as E1)and group C2 (surgical treatment same as E2). Patients’ postopera-tive nerve and muscle symptoms were observed, such as clinical manifestations of face, lips, hand and foot numb-ness or convulsions. Both preoperatively and postoperatively, patients’ parathyroid hormone (PTH) and serum calcium level indicators were detected before surgery and at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 14th and 28th day after surgery. Results The lymph node metastasis rate and number between experimental group and the control group had statistical insignificance (χ2=1.02, 0.79, P=0.14, 0.96). The recurrence rate of the 2 groups had no significant difference during the follow-up (χ2=0.23, P=0.65). Group E1 was significantly lower than Group C1 in postopera-tive parathyroid function decline rate, incidence of hypocalcemia and parathyroid mistakenly cut rate. Group E2 was also obviously lower than Group C2 in all these aspects. The difference had statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Parathyrod in situ exposure and protection assisted by direct vision of the magnifying glass can re-duce the mistakenly cut rate of parathyroid and the temporary hypoparathyroidism, which can effectively avoid the adverse effects caused by total thyroidectomy.

AIM: To explore the relationship between retinal exudative changes in neonates and perinatal toxoplasmosis, others, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus(TORCH)infections, as well as the characteristics of TORCH infection in neonates with retinal exudative changes.METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 612 neonates with retinal exudative changes detected during ophthalmic screening in our hospital from May 2019 to March 2023 were selected. TORCH tests were performed on these neonates, and the results were subjected to statistical analysis to determine the infection characteristics. The neonates with retinal exudative changes were grouped by sex and age, the characteristics of TORCH infection were analyzed, and the positive rates were compared.RESULTS: Among the 612 neonates with retinal exudative changes, the highest positive rate was observed for cytomegalovirus(CMV-IgG)(96.7%), followed by rubella virus(RV-IgG)(73.9%). Mixed infections with two or three viruses were also observed, with the highest positive rate for mixed infection of RV-IgG and CMV-IgG reaching 71.2%. There was no statistically significant difference in TORCH infection among neonates of different sex(P>0.05). However, there were statistically significant differences in RV-IgG and CMV-IgM infections with retinal exudative changes among neonates of different age groups(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Perinatal TORCH infection may be an important factor causing retinal exudative changes in neonates. The differences in various infections are not related to sex but are related to different age groups.
