Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics for central compartment lymph node metastasis in stage cNO papillary thyroid microcarcinoma and significance and feasibility of preventive dissection,aimed to provide reference for clinical treatment.Methods Reviewed the clinical data of 277 patients with stage cNO papillary thyroid microcarcinoma from Jul.2011 to Dec.2015 underwent surgery in the Department of General Surgery of Lianyungang East Hospital.Evaluated the necessity of prophylactic central lymph node dissection.Adopted chi square test and Logistic regression to analyze its relationship with patients' gender,age,tumor number,tumor size,enveloped infiltration,single and bilateral tumor.All 277 patients underwent primary radical resection with ipsilateral central lymph node dissection.The specimen of resection was analyzed by routine pathology.Results The positive rate of thyroid papillary microcarcinoma lymph node metastasis was 36.8 ％ (102/277).The elements of male patients (P =0.023),age ＜ 45 years (P ＜ 0.001) and tumor diameter ＞ 0.5 cm (P =0.019)had high positive rate.The multivariable analysis showed that male patients (OR =2.63,P ＜ 0.001),age ＜ 45 years (OR =2.25,P =0.016),tumor diameter ＞ 0.5 c m (OR =2.13,P =O.009) were independent risk factors for CLN metastasis.Forty-three (15.5％) cases had transient parathyroid function.No Permanent recurrent nerve paralysis and hyperparathyroidism occurred in this group.Conclusions Prophylactic central lymph node dissection is helpful for accurate staging of tumor classification and risk assessment,has important significance,on the follow-up of patients after treatment of choice.For male patients,age ＜ 45,tumor diameter ＞ 0.5 cm,enveloped infiltration,the central compartment lymph node dissection may be necessary.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in cN0 paillary thyroicl microcarcinoma (PTMC) and to establish a nomogram model for predicting the probability of cN0 PTMC CLNM.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 192 patients with cN0 PTMC admitted to the Department of General Surgery of the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from Aug. 2016 to Aug. 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 41 males and 151 females, 50 with CLNM and 142 without CLNM. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence or absence of pathologically confirmed CLNM. Patient’s age, gender, tumor diameter, multiple, with Hashimoto’s disease, with nodular goiter, with or without near the posterior dorsal membrane, aspect ratio >1, with or without extratumoral infiltration, with or without lymphadenopathy, TSH levels, and TG levels were statistically analyzed. Pearson chi-square test was used to analyze the count data of hypothesis test, and the R language software package was used for Logistic multivariate analysis. The entry conditions were screened by stepwise regression to establish a nomogram prediction model, and the Bootstrap method was used for model verification. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Multivariate logistic analysis showed that extratumoral invasion ( P=0.032) , presence of lymphadenopathy ( P=0.010) , and TG>68 μg/L ( P=0.007) were risk factors for central lymph node metastasis. The optimal model was established by stepwise regression. The factors included tumor diameter ≥0.5 cm, nodular goiter, extratumoral invasion, lymphadenopathy and TG>68 μg/L (AIC: 212.27) . The nomogram model was established according to the above risk factors. The consistency index (c-index) was 0.711. The results of calibration graph drawing and internal and external validation demonstrated its good consistency and applicability. Conclusion:Extratumoral invasion, lymphadenopathy, and TG>68 μg/L are risk factors for cN0 PTMC CLNM, and the nomogram established in the study can effectively predict the CLNM rate in patients with cN0PTMC and contribute to clinicians’ diagnosis and treatment decisions.

To study the effect of soybean isoflavone on liver oxidative stress resulting from 60Co-gamma rays. Methods: Totally 80 normal female Kunming mice were evenly randomized into 5 groups according to body weight: 3 intervention groups, single irradiation group and normal control group. The normal group and single irradiation groups were given 0.5% CMC-Na, and the 3 intervention groups were given different doses of soybean isoflavone (50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg) respectively for 14 d. The whole body of single irradiation group and intervention groups were subjected to 4.56 Gy 60Co-γ radiation once on the 7th day, and then the mice were killed on the 2nd day and the 7th day after radiation. Results: The CAT activity of liver tissue of 100,400 mg/kg intervention groups and 3 SI groups were significantly increased on the 2nd day and 7th day after irradiation(P<0.05), respectively; the GSH-Px activity of 100 mg/kg SI group was significantly increased(P<0.05) on the 7th day after irradiation; the T-SOD activity of 50 mg/kg SI group was significantly decreased (P<0.05) on the 2nd day after irradiation,while no difference was observed among remaining groups. The MDA content of 100 mg/kg group was significantly decreased on the 7th day after radiation compared with control group, and MDA content of each group subjected to irradiation were increased on the 2nd day after irradiation,but 3 SI groups nearly decreased to normal level on the 7th day after irradiation. Conclusion: The soybean isoflavone can enhance the antioxidant capability of mice, but it does not show a dose-effect relationship.

Objective To learn the recent development and regional distribution of clinics in China.Methods Based on statistics and a nationwide survey of clinics in the country,a simple linear regression was made to find factors determining clinics regional distribution.Results Clinics in China were found to have grown sizably from 134 000 in 2008 to 155 000 in 2014;medical technology workers to 2.31 per clinic in 2014;and the total revenue of these clinics accounted for only 0.724% of all medical institutions,while there are more clinics in the east than the west regions in China.Conclusions The role of clinics in attracting high quality medical resources to primary care should be further enhanced for development of the hierarchical medical system in China.

Objective To study effects of oxycodone post-operative early analgesia on stress re-sponse with in diabetics undergoing uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP).Methods Eighty patients undergoing UPPP,53 males,27 females,aged 28-65 years,ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ were randomly divided in-to two groups(n =40).1 5 minutes before the end of the operation,group O was intravenously given oxycodone 0.07 mg/kg;Group F fentanyl 0.7 μg/kg.The patients of the two groups were sampled venous blood 3 ml in the morning of operation (T1 ),postoperative 1 hour (T2 ),postoperative 3 hours (T3 )for determination of serum cortisol (Cor),serum insulin(Ins),serum C-peptide(C-P)u-sing electrochemical luminescence method.Results Cor at T2 ,T3 was lower than that at T1 , C-P was higher than that at T1 (P <0.05)in group O,respectively;Cor at T2 ,T3 was higher than that at T1 , respectively,C-P was lower than that at T1 (P <0.05);Cor in group F was higher than that in group O,C-P in group F was lower than that in group O(P <0.05).Ins at T2 ,T3 was lower than that at T1 and was lower than that in group O(P <0.05).Conclusion Oxycodone 0.07 mg/kg early analgesia for UPPP significantly inhibits the occurrence of stress response.

To obtain higher potency and specificity, a series of 7-alkoxy analogues of illudalic acid was synthesized on the base of structure-activity relationship (SAR). All of these compounds exhibited submicromolar inhibition of the enzyme when tested against human leukocyte common antigen-related phosphatase (LAR) (for example, for 15e, IC50 = 180 nmol x L(-1)). They represent the most potent small-molecule inhibitors of LAR so far. These analogues also display excellent selectivity for LAR over other protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) except for the highly homologous PTPsigma. The compound 15f is of 120-fold selectivity for LAR versus PTP-1B inhibition. The development of potent enzyme-specific inhibitors is so important that they may serve both as tools to study the role of LAR and as therapeutic agents for treatment of type II diabetes.

Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics for lateral cervical lymph node metastasis in stage cN0 papillary thyroid microcarcinoma and significance and feasibility of preventive dissection,and provide reference for clinical treatment.Methods Reviewd the clinical data of 191 patients with stage cN0 papillary thyroid microcarcinoma patients from Jul.2011 to Dec.2016 underwent surgery in the Department of General Surgery of Lianyungang Oriental Hospital.Assessed the need for preventive cervical lymph node dissection.Chisquare test and logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between cervical lymph node metastasis and gender,age,tumor number,tumor size,capsule infiltration,single and bilateral tumors,Hashimoto's disease,and central lymph node metastasis.Results The positive rate of cervical lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma was 27.9％ (50/191).Univariate analysis showed that the metastasis of the cervical lymph nodes was associated with infiltration of the capsule,Hashimoto disease,and CLN metastasis (all P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the capsule infiltration (OR =7.563,P =0.000),Hashimoto's disease (OR =4.635,P =0.003),and central lymph node metastasis (OR =3.075,P ＜ 0.001) were able to be independent risk factors for cervical lymph node metastasis.When the positive number of lymph node metastasis in the central region was ≥ 2,the positive rate of cervical lymph nodes was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.001).Eleven patients (5.8％) had temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy,29 patients (15.1％) had transient hypoparathyroidism,and no patients with permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy and hypoparathyroidism.Conclusions The removal of the cervical lymph nodes helps to accurately classify the tumor and assess the risk.It is important to choose the postoperative treatment follow-up plan for patients.For patients with capsule infiltration,Hashimoto's disease,and central lymph node metastasis,cervical lymph node dissection should be routinely performed.

Objective To determine the results of treatment combining all-trans-retinoic acid(ATRA)in childhood acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL).Methods 22 children with newly diagnosed APL received induction therapy with ATRA followed by 3 courses of consolidation chemotherapy:daunorubicin,idarubicin,homoharringtonine or aclacinomycin plus cytosine arabinoside.A maintenance therapy was then administered with ATRA and these reigems for 36 months.Results Early deaths from diffuse intravazcular clotting and intracranial hemorrhage occurred in two patients.The other children achieved a complete remission(CR).By June 2007,the estimated disease-free survival rates at 1,3 and 5 years were 100%,93.3% and 84.7%;respectively.The side effects of ATRA were xerosis eutis and xerocheilia,headaches,nausea and vomiting,hepatic function lesion and ATRA syndrome.Conclusion Remission induction therapy with ATRA is effective and safe for newly diagnosed childhood APL.The maintenance therapy combined chemotherapy with ATRA can improve the long-term effects of APL patients.The main causes of death in APL children is diffuse intravascular clotting and intracranial hemorrhage.The side effects of ATRA can be tolerated.

Objective To study the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures by reduction without a traction table in a special position and fixation with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA).Methods From May 2016 to May 2017,34 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated with PFNA.They were 20 men and 14 women,from 36 to 89 years of age (average,69.9 years).The left side was affected in 15 cases and the right side in 19.By AO classification,there were 10 cases of type AO 31-A1,13 ones of type 31-A2,and 11 ones of type 3 l-A3.Two cases were complicated with other fractures,and 5 with internal system disease,3 of whom had more than 2 concomitant diseases.Preoperative deep venous thrombosis was found in 2 cases.Surgery was performed for them between 2 and 8 days after injury (average,3.7 days).Reduction was performed in a special position without a traction table.The duration of anesthesia,operation time,intraoperative hemorrhage,postoperative complications and hip function by Harris scores were recorded.Results For the 34 patients,the anesthesia time ranged from 57 to 85 min (average,67.5 min),the operation time ranged from 28 to 65 min (average,40.9 min),and the intraoperative hemorrhage from 80 to 150 mL (average,110.6 mL).They received effective follow-up for 6 to 12 months (average,8.4 months).All the fractures healed after 6 to 12 months(average,7.2 months).No failure of internal fixation was observed during follow-ups.By the Harris scores at the final follow-up,the function of the affected hip was rated as excellent in 9 cases,as good in 21 and as fair in 4,giving an excellent to good rate of 88.2％.Conclusion In the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures,reduction without a traction table in a special position and PFNA fixation may reduce anesthesia time,leading to satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Objective: To observe the effect of olfactory training on mice with olfactory dysfunction induced by 3-methylindole (3-MI). Methods: Thirty-one male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups by random digits table: control group (group A, n=10), olfactory dysfunction group (group B, n=10) and olfactory dysfunction+olfactory training group (group C, n=11). Mice in group B and group C were intraperitoneally injected with 150 mg/kg 3-MI to induce olfactory dysfunction model, while mice in group A were intraperitoneally injected with corn oil of the same volume. From the first day after injection, mice in group C were treated with 4 kinds of odors by inhalation, while mice in group B were treated with distilled water by inhalation, with 2 times/d, 30 min/time/kind of odor, and continuous training for 28 d. Group A was not treated. Buried food pellet tests were conducted before injection and at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after injection, respectively. The olfactory epithelium was harvested for observation of the number of olfactory marker protein (OMP) and the thickness of olfactory epithelium on the 28th day after injection. SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: Before injection, all mice in each group had no olfactory dysfunction. At the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days after injection, the food finding time of mice in group C was shorter than that in group B, and the difference was statistically significant ((175.88±100.50) s vs (266.73±46.83) s, (132.00±84.62) s vs (264.10±48.50) s, (103.57±77.43) s vs (197.43±69.78) s, (67.79±32.54) s vs (176.63±61.06) s, all P<0.05), but food finding time of mice in group B and C was longer than that in group A (the food finding time of group A at the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days after injection was (27.13±5.36) s, (25.83±7.28) s, (23.13±2.72) s, (26.63±7.60) s, respectively, all P<0.05). At the 28th day after olfactory training, the number of OMP positive cells in group B and C were fewer than that in group A, and the difference was statistically significant ((108.00±28.19)/HP vs (288.22±84.06)/HP, (199.33±58.55)/HP vs (288.22±84.06)/HP, all P<0.05). The number of OMP positive cells in group C were higher than that in group B (P<0.05). The number of OMP positive cells had negative correlation with food finding time (r=-0.886, P<0.01). As for the thickness of the olfactory epithelium, the thickness of group B was thinner than that in group A and C, and the difference was statistically significant ((59.57±31.27) μm vs (114.55±40.70)μm vs (90.54±37.72) μm, all P<0.05). Conclusion Olfactory training can accelerate the recovery of olfactory function in 3-MI-induced olfactory impaired mice.
