Objective To explore central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) of cN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC).Methods We evaluate the clinical data of 245 patients with cN0 unilateral TPC undergoing total thyroidectomy and bilateral central lymph node dissection.Results Central lymph node metastasis of cN0 TPC was 36.8% (91/245),significantly related to gender(x2 =5.626,P =0.018),age (x2 =6.255,P =0.012),tumor size (x2 =20.063,P < 0.001) and capsule invasion (x2 =15.024,P < 0.001).The central lymph node metastasis was 51.7% (60/116) in 116 patients with tumor size > 1 cm,and the contralateral CLNM was 22.4% (26/116) which was related to capsule invasion (x2 =9.737,P =0.002) and delphian LNM(x2 =10.982,P =0.001) There were 6 cases (2.4%) suffering from temporary unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.96 cases (39.2%) suffered from temporary hypoparathyroidism and 3 cases (1.2%) from permanent hypoparathyroidism.The median follow-up time was 40 months.6 cases were found regional lymph node recurrence on the ipsilateral side.Tumor size > 1 cm was significantly related with recurrence (P =0.008),as CLNM with higher recurrence rate (P =0.001).Conclusions CLNM is common in cN0 PTC patients,and central lymph node metastases increase the risk of recurrence.Prophylactic bilateral central lymph node dissection is suggested for tumor size > 1 cm cases.

Objective To study the clinical significance of recognizing Zuckerkandl tubercle (ZT) during thyroid surgery. Methods One hundred and sixty-one patients (218 sides) having underwent thyroid lobectomy or thyroidectomy were retrospectively analyzed. The presence of ZT, the position and size of ZT, and the relationship between ZT and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), superior parathyroid (SP) were observed. Results In 218 sides, 179 sides (82.1%) found ZT, with right side in 93 cases and left side in 86 cases. The main relationship between ZT and RLN was A type, accounting for 90.5%(162/179). There were no statistical differences in ZT grade and the relationship type between ZT and RLN between left side and right side (P>0.05). There was negative correlation in ZT grade and the relationship type between ZT and RLN (r=-0.269, P<0.01). In right side, 92.3%(72/78) of SP located on the top of ZT at 10-11 o′clock position;in left side, 94.6%(70/74) of SP located on the top of ZT at 1-2 o′clock position. Conclusions ZT is an important anatomical mark in the thyroid surgery, which helps to identify and protect the RLN and SP, so as to reduce surgical complications.

Objective To analyze the influence of different types of seizures and nonepileptic events on peripheral white blood cell (WBC)counts. Methods We prospectively collected blood samples from all patients and detered WBC count to evaluate the relation of each type of seizure,duration,frequencies,and ttme lapse between a seizure and collection of blood sample to peripheral WBC count. Results Peripheral WBC count was elevated in about 50% cases after a generalized seizure. The length of a seizures was positively associated, whereas its frequencies and the lapse time was negatively correlated with the increase in WBC counts. Conclusion Peripheral WBC counts increase significantly after a generalized seizure.
6. Advances on Characterization of Lyotropic Liquid Crystals as Drug Delivery System
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2019;54(19):1545-1551
Lyotropic liquid crystal(LLC) is generally a kind of micelle association formed by self-assembly of amphiphilic lipid polymers in polar solvents. It have been applied in the study of drug delivery of administration of oral, skin injection, ocular, and cavity channel routes(including buccal cavity, nasal cavity, vagina), et al. Medical liquid crystal mainly includes lamellar phase, inverse hexagonal phase and inverse cubic phase. Inner assembling order in different structures of liquid crystals will affect the drug localization, viscosity, molecular interactions, and further drug release in vitro and in vivo, pharmacokinetics and so on. Thus, it is very important to characterize their microstructures. In this article, the characterization methods of LLC microstructures are comprehensively described based on the research of LLC as drug delivery carrier and related literatures, which can provide reference for further study of LLC drug delivery system.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and side reaction of tandospimne citrate capsules on treating patients with depression after stroke.Methods Seventy-eight patients who were diagnosed as anxiety and depression after stroke were taken as our subjects.They were randomly divided into control group (n =40) and treatment group (n =38).Patients in the control group were given conventional therapy for cerebral vascular disease and psychological treatment,while in the treatment group were given the same treatment besides tandospimne citrate capsules of 10 mg per times,3 times/d oral,and course of both two groups for 4 weeks.The patients of two groups were scored according to Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD) at the time of pre-treatment and post-treatment.And the the clinical efficacy and side reaction were observed and compared.Results (1) HAMD scores of treatment group in 2,4 weeks after treatment had significantly lower than that before treatment ((8.09±2.21) vs.(6.31 ±2.28) vs.(11.98 ±2.17),P <0.05).HAMD scores of control group in the treatment at 2week was as same as that in 4 weeks((10.57 ±2.53) vs.(8.91 ±2.31)).There was statistically significant difference in two groups in 2,4 weeks after treatment in terms of HAMD scores(P >0.05).The total effective rate of control group was 31.6% (12/38),and 92.5% (37/40) in treatment group,and the difference was significant(x2 =63.69,P < 0.01).In the course of treatment in the two groups,there were no obvious adverse reactions.Conclusion Tandospirone citrate capsules show the clinical curative effect in the treatment of anxiety and depression after stroke,and no obvious adverse reactions.
