Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic thyroidectomy via anterior chest and breast for the treatment of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma ( PTC ).Methods Endoscopic thyroidectomy was performed in 85 PTC patients between March 2006 and March 2010. Diagnosis was based on intraoprative frozen section. There were 83 females and 2 males, age averaged at 36. 3 years. Sixty three of 85 cases were diagnosed preoperatively as thyroid carcinoma and US revealed ipsilateral cervical lymph node enlargement suspective of metastasis in 12 cases. Endoscopic thyroidectomy plus selective neck dissection was performed. Results This procedure was carried out successfully in 84patients. There were 51 cases of papillary thyroid microcarcinomas(<1. 0 cm) , 28 cases between 1. 0 cm and<2. 0 cm, and 5 cases with the diameter between 2. 0 cm and 3. 0 cm. Total thyroidectomy, ispilateral lebectomy and ispilateral lebectomy plus contralateral subtotal lobetomy were performed in 4, 6, 74 cases,respectively. Central compartment dissection was performed in all of the 84 cases and ipsilateral neck dissection was also performed in 12 cases that were suspected metastatic lateral neck lymph nodes. The mean operative time was (113. 3 ±46. 5) minutes. No significant blood loss occurred. The mean number of lymph nodes yield in the central compartment and lateral compartment were 6. 5 (range 2 to 14) and 19. 2 (range 9 to 26 ), respectively. Forty-four cases ( 44/84, 52. 4% ) had metastatic lymph nodes in central compartment, while 11 cases (11/12,91.1% ) in lateral compartment. Six patients (6/84,7.14%) had transient vocal cord palsy and recovered after 1-2 months. Postoperative transient hypocalcaemia occurred in 4 cases (4. 8% ) , and there were no other major complications. The average postoperative hospital stay was 3. 7 days (range 3 to 6). No evidence of residual or recurrent disease was found at follow-up. The cosmetic results of this procedure were excellent. Conclusions The anterior chest and breast approach of endoscopic thyroidectomy is feasible and safe and cosmetic worthwhile for selected cases of PTC.

To investigate relationship between birth-weight of parents and fetal macrosomia and its genetic susceptibility. A case-control study with 237 macrosomia and 257 normal birth-weight babies was conducted to retrospectively analyze their parents' birth weight and mothers' conditions during pregnancy. Multivariate non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that risk of macrosomia increased with increase in maternal birth-weight (OR = 1. 707, 95% CI: 1. 145 - 2. 545) and paternal birth-weight (OR = 1.979, 95%CI:1.306 -2.998). Macrosomia is fetal obesity and related to multi-gene susceptibility with heritability of 74.48%. Maternal effect on macrosomia may come from her obesity gene and intrauterine condition, while paternal effect mainly exhibits by his obesity gene carriage.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of multiple overlapping stents combined with coils in treating intracranial fusiform aneurysms, and to evaluate its therapeutic efficacy. Methods During the period from Aug. 2012 to Aug. 2013, three patients with intracranial fusiform aneurysm were admitted to authors’ hospital. The diagnosis was confirmed by CT angiography and whole cerebral angiography. Multiple overlapping stents combined with coils was carried out in all the three patients. All the patients were followed up and the clinical results were analyzed. Results Multiple overlapping stents combined with coils was successfully accomplished in all the three patients. Greater part of the aneurysmal cavity was occluded, and immediately after the procedure obvious blood whirling in the aneurysmal sac was seen. A total of 7 stents and 17 coils were used in treating the three patients. No aneurysm rupture or thrombosis occurred. The patients were followed up for 3 - 8 months. In one case the headache disappeared in 8 months, no dysneuria was detected, and angiography showed that the aneurysmal sac disappeared and the parent artery was patent. In another patient the headache disappeared in 3 months, and the angiography showed that the aneurysmal cavity had slight visualization and the parent artery was patent. The remaining patient was asymptomatic at 3-month follow-up. Conclusion For the treatment of intracranial fusiform aneurysms, multiple overlapping stents combined with coils is clinically feasible and safe with excellent short-term efficacy although its long-term results need to be further studied.
