Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type in thyroid carcinomas.Recently,the prevalence and diagnostic rate of PTC has got significantly high with the general use of ultrasound.Nowadays,more and more studies have suggested that the coexistence of PTC and diabetes is common.They indicated that hyperglycemia would induce the deterioration of oxidative stress injury,chronic inflammation,insulin resistance,obesity,dyslipidemia,deficiency of vitamin D and dysimmunity.All of these may break the balance of oxidation and antioxidation and result in disordering signal pathway,accumulation of inflammatory cytokines,over activating of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1,changing the metabolic pathways,which will promote the occurrence and progression of PTC.

Objective: To evaluate the depression and anxiety in patients with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS). Methods: Fifty patients with SAHS were diagnosed with polysomnography (PSG) and 30 healthy controls underwent whole-night PSG monitory and evaluated by Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Zung Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Results: The total scores of SAS and SDS in SAHS group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P

Objective To compare the analgesia and side-effects of different concentrations of sufentanil combined with 0.125% ropivacaine for postoperative epidural analgesia after general thoracic surgery.Methods Thirty-six ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients (25 males, 11 females) ages 21-64 yrs weighing 42-79 kg undergoing elective general thoracic surgery under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to receive patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) with 0.125% ropivacaine combined with sufentanil 0.4 (group A, n = 12) , 0.5 (group B, n = 12) or 0.6 ?g?ml-1 (group C, n = 12) . Epidural catheter was placed at T7,8 or T8,9 interspace. The PCEA pump was set up with back ground infusion of 2 ml?h-1 , a3ml bolus dose and a 30-min lock-out period. VAS scores was used to assess analgesia at rest and during movement. The total bolus doses, PCEA button pressing times (effective/actual), vital signs including MAP, HR, respiratory rate, SpO2 and side effects (nausea, vomiting, pruritus and dyspnea) were recorded. Results During the 48 hours after operation the VAS scores in group C were significantly lower than those in group A and B ( P

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of MRI guided percutaneous biopsy for the lesions of infratemporal space.Methods An open design 0.2T MRI set was used for MRI guided percutaneous biopsy in seven patients with the masses of infratemporal space. Results Of this series, the accuracy of needle puncture was 100% with diagrostic accuracy of 85.7% and no complications.Conclusions MRI guided percutaneous biopsy is helpful in the diagnosis for the lesions of infratemproal space.

Objective To explore the effect of anti-TNF rcMAb in the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its effect on peripheral blood Th1,Th17 and Treg cells.Methods Fifty rigorously screened RA patients were randomly divided to the therapy group (n=40) who received the combined treatment of anti-TNF rcMAb and MTX,and control group (n=10) who were given MTX along with placebo,both at week 0,2,6,and 14.The clinical data of the two groups were observed and accessed respectively at week 0 and 18.In addition,the percentage of Th1,Th17,Treg cells in the peripheral blood and the relative gene expressions of transcription factors T-bet,RORC,Foxp3 in these patients were also observed respectively before and after treatment.We used t inspection and x2 inspection as the statistical analysis methods in conducting this study.Results Comparing with the control group,more patients achieved ACR20,ACR50 and ACR70 response in the combined therapy group (Z=1.671,P=0.000 94).The percentage of peripheral blood Th1 cells decreased [week 0:(7.1±3.9)％; week 18:(4.2±2.8)％] and the percentage of Treg cells obviously increased [week 0:(1.5±0.8)％; week 18:(3.0±0.6)％,t=2.301,P=0.048] in the combined therapy recipients,while the percentage of Th1 cells fell [week 0:(9.1±3.1)％; week 18:(5.8±2.6)％] and that of Treg cells slightly increased [week 0:(1.2±0.6)％; week 18:(2.2±0.6)％] in the controls.The mRNA expressions of RORC and T-bet,the transcription factors of Th17 and Th1,were decreased respectively and that of Foxp3,the transcription factor of Treg,were elevated in both groups.Conclusion The combined therapy of anti-TNF rcMAb and MTX is very effective in RA patients.Good outcome is likely achieved by modifying the peripheral blood Th cell subsets in patients with RA.

Objective To evaluate nasal carriage and antimicrobial resistance of bacteria in health care workers (HCWs)in an intensive care unit (ICU),and provide basis for making prevention and control measures of health-care-associated infection(HAI).Methods From April 2014 to March 2015,nasal swabs from HCWs in ICU were collected,carriage and antimicrobial resistance of bacteria were detected.Results A total of 450 nasal swab speci-mens were taken,137 strains were isolated,isolation rate was 30.44%.There were no significant difference in na-sal carriage rates of bacteria in HCWs with different genders,ages,types of work,length of service,and education-al level (P >0.05);nasal carriage rates in HCWs at different seasons were significantly different (P <0.05 ).82 strains (59.85%)were gram-negative bacteria,the major were Klebsiella pneumoniae (21 .16%)and Enterobacter aerogenes (18.98%);55 strains (40.15% )were gram-positive bacteria,the major were Staphylococcus aureus (18.98%)and Staphylococcus epidermidis (15.33%).38 (27.74% )strains were multidrug-resistant strains. 7.69% (2/26)of Staphylococcus aureus were methicillin-resistant strains,3.45%(1/29)of Klebsiella pneumoniae and 3.85%(1/26)of Enterobacter aerogenes were imipenem-resistant strains.Conclusion Nasal carriage rate of bac-teria and detection rate of multidrug-resistant organisms in HCWs in ICU is high.
