Objective:To investigate the prognostic factors and pathological characteristics of mixed subtype thyroid cancer (MSTC) .Methods:Data of 41 cases of MSTC, which were confirmed by postoperative pathology, among from 24, 912 cases of thyroid cancer admitted in Mar. 2005 to Aug. 2020 in the First Medical Center of Chinese People’s Liberation Army General Hospital, were retrospectively analyzed. 37 cases underwent surgical treatment, while 4 cases only underwent puncture to confirm the pathology due to physical conditions, and no surgical treatment was performed. The tumor size, number of lesions, capsule invasion, AJCC 8th TNM staging, surgical methods, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were collected. The MSTC patients in the group were followed up to obtain the postoperative situation. SPSS 25.0 and R studio statistical software was used for data processing, and Cox single factor and multivariate regression were used to analyze independent risk factors.Results:In the 41 cases, there were 9 cases of papillary carcinoma (PTC) mixed with follicular carcinoma (FTC) , and 8 cases of mixed medullary and follicular carcinoma (MMFTC) . There were 15 cases of poorly differentiated thyroid cancer (PDTC) , 4 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid (SCCT) , and 5 cases of undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma (ATC) . The median follow-up time was 18 months, and 11 patients died during the follow-up, with a mortality rate of 26.8%. Average onset age was (51.41+15.69) years. 4 cases had postoperative recurrence during the follow-up, including 2 cases of local recurrence, and 2 cases of distant metastasis. Single factor results showed that age, degree of tumor differentiation, surgical method, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with MSTC ( P<0.05) . Multivariate analysis showed that age at diagnosis ( P=0.007) and surgical procedure ( P=0.017) were independent risk factors for prognosis in patients with MSTC. Conclusion:Middle-aged and elderly women are at high risk for MSTC, and the degree of tumor differentiation is proportional to survival. Due to the multi-type and pleomorphic pathological findings, a reasonable treatment plan has good effects on prognosis of MSTC.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of microglial polarization at the perihe-matoma area and provide timepoint evidence for interventing microglial polarization as well as studying the polarization mechanism after intracerebral hemorrhage ( ICH ) . Methods Healthy male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham group,ICH-4 h,1 d,3 d,7 d and 14 d groups with 6 in each group. The rats in ICH groups were injected collagenase VII-s into the caudate nucleus to establish the in-tracerebral hematoma model and rats in sham operated group were treated with the same amount of saline. The brains were taken at 4 h,1 d,3 d,7 d,14 d in the ICH group,1 d in sham group. Microglia typeⅠ( M1, CD11b++CD86+) and microglia typeⅡ( M2,CD11b++Arg-1+) were examined by immunofluorescence and the number of M1 and M2 around hematoma were analyzed. Results ( 1) The M1 and M2 were both ob-served at 4 h after ICH and a small quantity of branches were still presented on M1. ( 2) M1 took the main position in acute stage (1~3 d),early subacute stage(3~7 d) and chronic stage (>14 d) after ICH.The number of M2 was elevated transiently in superacute (<24 h) and late subacute stage (7 d).The number of M2 (31.40±1.69) was more than M1 (21.43±1.81) at 4 h after ICH ( t=- 4.085, P=0.002),and the number of M2 (116.25±5.06) significantly exceeded M1 (85.75±7.32) again on day 7 ( t=-0.690, P=0.001). Conclusion M1 is in a dominant position in acute,early subacute and chronic stages after ICH;M2 is dominant in superacute and late subacute stages. Investigating the mechanism of M2 formation at acute period ( such as 4 h) or late subacute stage ( such as 7 d) ,and inhibiting M1 formation in the early subacute stage ( 1~3 d) have important significance for clinical treatment of ICH.

Objective To investigate the expression of caspase-10 in differentiated thyroid carcinoma and association with its development and metastasis. Methods Thyroid samples from 37 patients in a period from January 2006 to December 2007, with differentiated thyroid carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed for caspase-10 by immunohistocbemistry(streptavidin-perosidase, S-P), compared to control group of 46 cases with nodtdar goiter. The relationship between the expression of caspase-10 and the clinical pathologic characteristics of thyroid carcinoma were also explored simultaneously. Results caspase-10 were observed as brown or yellow particles located in the cytoplasm or cell membrane of nodular goiter but there were no significant evidence for its positive expression in thyroid carcinoma, caspase-10 expression was markedly down-regulated in differentiated thyroid carcinoma(29.73%,11/37) compared with benign nodules(71.74%,33/46, χ2=14.528, P<0.01). The positive expression in 18 cases with lymph node metastasis(11.11%,2/18) was significantly lower than those in 19 patients without lymph node metastasis(47.37%,9/19; χ2=4.210, P<0.01). There was no significant correlation(P> 0.05) between the expression of caspase-10 and the clinical pathologic characteristics including male, age, TNM stage and pathologic type. Conclusion Down-regulation of caspase-10 may play a critical role in carcinogenesis and development of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
