Objective To probe the reasonable range of central lymph node dissections(CLNs)for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in cN0 T1/T2 by analyzing the metastasis regulations of PTC in cN0 T1/T2.Methods Data of 891 PTC patients in cN0T1/T2 cases according to the research criterion from Oct.2013 to Sep.2017 were analyzed.All the patients were under the treatment of the same group of surgeons in Department of Thyroid Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of the Kunming Medical University and had undergone operation of bilateral total resection of thyroid gland and central lymph node.The clinical and pathological data were collected.Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to investigate the risk factors of central neck lymph node metastasis and high volume central neck lymph node metastasis.Results ①Univariate analysis showed that gender (P=0.002),age(P=0.002),multiform(P=0.000),nodular goiter(P=0.000)and with Hashimoto's(P=0.031)had significant influence in prevalence of CLN node metastasis.Gender(P=0.010)and tumor size(P=0.000)showed significant influence in prevalence of high volume CNL node metastasis.In multivariate analysis,age (OR=0.962,OR=2.856)and nodular goiter(OR=0.969,OR=3.012)showed the independent risk factor of CNL node metastasis and high volume CNL node metastasis.②The numbers of lesion in unilateral lesion were not correlated with IpsiCLNs and Cont-CLNs metastasis (P=0.347,P=0.653).The tumor diameter was correlated with Ipsi-CLNs and ContCLNs metastasis (P=0.010,P=0.000).The tumor diameter of bilateral multifocal carcinoma was correlated with LN-prRLN-CLNs metastasis (P=0.019).The tumor diameter of left and right unilateral single focal lesion was not correlated with LN-prRLN-CLNs metastasis(P=0.684,P=0.072).Conclusions According to the study,it is recommended that the PTC in cN0 T1/T2 should routinely undergo preventive central lymph nodes dissection in the case of technical support:①Preventive overall CLND is recommended for unilateral non-microscopic carcinoma and bilateral multiform carcinoma,especially in those older than 55.②For patients with unilateral single or multifocal microscopic carcinoma,only ipsilateral central lymph nodes dissection can be considered.③ Generally,routine dissection is not necessary for the lymph nodes of the right recurrent laryngeal nerve in the central region of the neck.However,for bilateral non-small cancers and right non-small cancers,LN-prRLN-CLNs dissection is recommended.

Objective:To understand the current situation of nurses' willingness to engage in telecare in county-level hospitals in Henan Province and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 1 300 clinical nurses from 6 Class Ⅱ Grade A county-level hospitals in Zhengzhou, Hebi, Zhoukou and other cities in Henan Province were selected as the research objects from August 2022 to January 2023. General Data Questionnaire and Clinical Nurses' Willingness to Engage in Telecare Questionnaire were used to investigate the research objects. Non-parametric test and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of clinical nurses' willingness to engage in telecare.Results:A total of 1 300 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 1 183 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 91.00% (1 183/1 300). The total score of Clinical Nurses' Willingness to Engage in Telecare Questionnaire of 1 183 nurses in county-level hospitals was [105.00 (98.00, 112.00) ] points, and all items were scored [3.50 (3.27, 3.73) ]. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that professional title, post, whether they knew about telecare, and the number of times of receiving training on nursing information each year were the influencing factors of nurses' willingness to engage in telecare in county-level hospitals ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:In Henan Province, 1 183 nurses in county-level hospitals have a high willingness to engage in telecare. Relevant departments should further strengthen the publicity of relevant contents of telecare, carry out practical operation training related to nursing information, improve the nursing information ability of nurses in county-level hospitals and strengthen the awareness of health management services, so as to promote the successful implementation of telecare services in rural areas.
