Objective:
To investigate the nutritional status and its influencing factors among primary and middle school students in Yunfu City, Guangdong Province, so as to provide the basis for improving nutrition and health strategies for students.
Methods:
Primary and middle school students from 26 schools in 5 counties (cities, districts) of Yunfu City were selected in 2022 through multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method. Demographic information, dietary and exercise behaviors were collected using questionnaire surveys, and the prevalence of malnutrition were analyzed. Factors affecting malnutrition was evaluated using a multinomial logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 7 213 students were surveyed, including 3 881 boys (53.81%) and 3 332 girls (46.19%), and had a median age of 13.50 (interquartile range, 4.00) years. There were 2 667 primary school students (36.97%), 2 662 middle school students (36.91%) and 1 884 high school students (26.12%). There were 1 938 students suffered from malnutrition, with a detection rate of 26.87%. The detection rates for undernutrition, overweight and obesity were 11.66%, 9.75% and 5.46%, respectively. Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that gender (boy, OR=2.227, 95%CI: 1.905-2.603), studying phase (primary school, OR=1.528, 95%CI: 1.239-1.884), ≥60 min/d of moderate/high-intensity exercise (0-1 d/week, OR=1.422, 95%CI: 1.153-1.753; 2-4 d/week, OR=1.280, 95%CI: 1.047-1.564) and frequency of having physical education (1-2 classes/week, OR=1.732, 95%CI: 1.084-2.767; 3-4 classes/week, OR=1.662, 95%CI: 1.026-2.693) were the influencing factors for undernutrition; gender (boy, OR=1.956, 95%CI: 1.656-2.311), frequency of sugary beverage intake (0 time/d, OR=0.721, 95%CI: 0.528-0.984) and frequency of having physical education (0 class/week, OR=2.087, 95%CI: 1.151-3.784; 1-2 classes/week, OR=1.644, 95%CI: 1.044-2.590; 3-4 classes/week, OR=1.685, 95%CI: 1.051-2.703) were the influencing factors for overweight; gender (boy, OR=2.459, 95%CI: 1.964-3.078) was the influencing factor for obesity among students.
Conclusions
Undernutrition, overweight and obesity coexist in primary and middle school students in Yunfu City. Gender, school phase, frequency of sugary beverage intake and frequency of having physical education are associated with malnutrition among primary and middle school students.

Objective:To examine the posterior sternocleidomastoid border approach which elevated whole sternocleidomastoid in gasless transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 46 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma treated with gasless transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy from May 2019 to June 2020 at Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Sichuan Cancer Hospital was analyzed retrospectively. There were 9 males and 37 females, aged (38.6±12.0) years (range: 19 to 74 years). Fourteen and 32 cases performed posterior sternocleidomastoid border and sternocleidomastoid fascia approach, respectively. Comparative analysis were performed on clinical characters, surgical outcomes, postoperative complications, postoperative pain score, and quality-of-life of postoperative 1 month by t test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Fisher exact test and χ 2 test,respectively. Resuts Complete exposure of central compartment was higher (11/14 vs. 34.4%(11/32),χ2=7.624, P=0.006), more lymph nodes was retrieved (4.2±2.9 vs. 2.0±2.5, t=2.663, P=0.011) in posterior sternocleidomastoid border approach. There were no significant differences between groups in postoperative complications such as recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (1/14 vs. 3.1%(1/32), P=0.521) and transient hypoparathyroidism (0 vs. 6.2%(2/32), P=1) and pains and quality-of-life. Conclusion:Posterior sternocleidomastoid border approach of gasless transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy is safe and reliable and has the advantage of central compartment dissection without increasing trauma.

Objective:
To review and summarize recent update on preoperative diagnostic criteria, treatment and postoperative follow-up for medullary thyroid carcinoma.
Methods:
The relevant literatures and guidelines about medullary thyroid carcinoma were analyzed and summarized.
Results:
In the early stages of the disease radical surgery still dominated. Ultrasound results suggested that prophylactic lateral neck dissection was required for patients with high risk factors or high levels of carcinoembryonic antigen and calcitonin need prophylactic. Early hereditary medullary carcinoma could receive prophylactic thyroidectomy based on RET gene test results. Advanced progressive medullary thyroid carcinoma could be treated with palliative surgery,molecular targeted drugs and chemotherapy.
Conclusions
The prognosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma is poor and lymph node metastasis is easy to occur early. The extent of initial operation should be enough. Locally advanced or distant metastatic medullary thyroid carcinoma can be treated with palliative surgery,molecular targeted drugs and chemotherapy.
