Objective To analyze the clinical features of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer, and provide scientific basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clinical data of 87 patients of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer and 105 patients of Hashimoto thyroiditis were retrospectively analyzed. Results The rates of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer in age <30, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and≥60 years were 1/3, 47.5%(29/61), 51.4%(38/74), 36.0%(18/50) and 1/4. The rates of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer in patients of age 30-39 years and 40-49 years were higher than that in patients of age ≥60 years, but there were no statistical differences (χ2=0.327 and 0.418, P>0.05). There were statistical differences in total thyroxine (TT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) levels between Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer and Hashimoto thyroiditis, there were statistical differences (P<0.05 or <0.01). Multiariable Logistic regression analysis result showed that the decreased serum level of TT4 and the increased levels of TSH, TgAb and TPOAb were the correlated factors of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer (P<0.05 or <0.01). Conclusions Low level of TT4 and high levels of TSH, TgAb and TPOAb may increase the risk of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer. The 30-49 years male patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis should be highly suspected of the possibility of merger thyroid cancer.

Objective To evaluate the results of modified Ludloff osteotomy for the treatment of severe hallux valgus. Methods Fifty six patients (63 feet) with severe hallux valgus were treated with modified Ludloff osteotomy in combination with other procedures during 1999-2000. There were three males (3 feet) and fifty three females(60 feet); the average age of the patients was 46 years old (range from 16 to 65 years old). The severe hallux valgus patients whose first intermetatarsal angles were larger than 16? were treated with modified Ludloff osteotomy. In addition to modified Ludloff osteotomy, combined Reverdin osteotomies were performed in 4 feet, and Akin osteotomies in another three. All patients were followed up for an average of 10 months (6 to 18 months), and evaluated with Maryland clinical rating systems of AOFAS. Weight bearing X-ray films were taken and measured as well. A comparison study was made between the commonly used osteotomies. The advantages and disadvantages as well, of modified Ludloff osteotomy, were evaluated.Results There was no nonunion, delayed union or infection. Based on hallux metatarsophalangea interphalangeal scale of Maryland rating system, 41 feet (65%) were in the score range from 90-100, 17 feet (27%)80-89, 5 feet (8%) 70-79. The rate of excellent or good was 92%. Conclusion Modified Ludloff osteotomy has the advantages of less shortened metatarsal, rapid healing, ability to correct deformity and earlier weight-bearing. It is a perfect procedure for severe hallux valgus patients whose first intermetatarsal angles are larger than 16?, but their first metatarsophalangeal joints are without signs of osteoarthritis.
