Objective To study the invasive histopathological features of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)with tall cell variant(TCV).Methods A retrospective analysis of 19 170 cases of PTC in Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2018 to May 2023 was performed to analyze and the clinicopathological features between TCV-PTC group and classic PTC(cPTC)group.Results Pathological results showed 1 380 cases in TCV-PTC group and 15 578 cases in cPTC group.TCV-PTC had higher proportion and(or)mean value in patients'age,extraglandular invasion,nerve invasion,vascular invasion,maximum diameter of cancer focus,multifocality,lymph node metastasis and BRAF mutation,but the proportion of patients with coexistent Hashimoto's thyroiditis was lower than cPTC,and all results had significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusions Compared with the cPTC,TCV-PTC has stronger local invasive characteristics and lymph node metastasis rate,which provides the basis for the subsequent clinical treatment.

【Objective】 To explore the effect of inspection sheet on improving the quality of apheresis platelet, the satisfaction of blood donors and the cooperation ability of phlebotomists in the process of apheresis platelet collection. 【Methods】 Apheresis platelet donors from May to August 2021 in our center were selected as control group(without inspection sheet) and those from September to December 2021 were included in the observation group (with inspection sheet). The incidence of abnormal collection and the causes during collection process were compared between the two groups.And 100 first-time blood donors in each group were randomly selected for satisfaction survey. The questionnaire was made to investigate the phlebotomists’ recognition on the implementation of inspection sheet. 【Results】 The number of blood donors in the two groups were 6 673 and 6 559, with 111 and 49 abnormal cases, respectively. The total incidence of abnormal cases during blood collection before and after the implementation of inspection sheet was 1.66% and 0.75%, respectively, with the latter significantly lower than the former(P<0.001). The most common causes of abnormal conditions were repetitive puncture, followed by adverse reaction of blood donation, red blood cells contamination in platelet and fatty blood. The satisfaction of first-time blood donors was higher than before the implementation, and the recognition of phlebotomists on the inspection sheet was more than 90%. 【Conclusion】 The implementation of inspection sheet helps to regulate the collection process, strengthen the responsibility and service consciousness of phlebotomists, improve the satisfaction of blood donors, reduce the incidence of adverse events, and improve the quality of platelet products, which is worth popularizing in blood collection and supply institutions.
