Objective:To explore the clinical pathological characteristics and initial 131I curative responses of familial differentiated thyroid cancer (FDTC) and sporadic differentiated thyroid cancer (SDTC). Methods:A total of 66 FDTC patients (19 males, 47 females, age (39.8±11.7) years) and 1 701 SDTC patients (442 males, 1 259 females, age (40.9±11.3) years) who underwent 131I therapy in Department of Nuclear Medicine, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology between January 2010 and August 2018 were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical pathological characteristics, preablative stimulated thyroglobulin (ps-Tg), preablative stimulated thyroglobulin antibody (ps-TgAb) and response to initial therapy (excellent response, indeterminate response, biochemical incomplete response, structural incomplete response) of two groups were analyzed and compared. The clinical pathological parameters included age, gender, pathological type, tumour maximum diameter, bilateral, multifoci, nodules goiter, thyroiditis, thyroid membrane invasion, lymph node metastasis (LNM), invasion of the surrounding soft tissues, distant metastasis, TNM staging and American Thyroid Association (ATA) risk stratification (low-risk, intermediate-risk, high-risk). χ2 test or Fisher exact test and independent-sample t test were used to compare the data between two groups. Results:Comparing with SDTC group, FDTC group showed higher proportion of bilateral foci (45.5%(30/66) vs 31.2%(530/1 701); χ2=5.999, P=0.010), thyroid membrane invasion (43.9%(29/66) vs 26.6%(452/1 701); χ2=9.672, P=0.002) and distant metastasis (15.2%(10/66) vs 6.2%(105/1 701); χ2=8.418, P=0.004). There was a statistical difference in risk stratification between two groups (high-risk: 18.2%(12/66) vs 9.2%(156/1 701); intermediate-risk: 68.2%(45/66) vs 72.7%(1 237/1 701); low-risk: 13.6%(9/66) vs 18.1%(308/1 701); χ2=6.898, P=0.030). But the tumor maximum diameter of FDTC group was smaller than that of SDTC group ((1.24±0.74) vs (1.50±0.92) cm; t=-2.275, P=0.020). There were no significant differences in other clinical pathological parameters between FDTC group and SDTC group ( t=-0.804, χ2 values: 0.101-5.359, all P>0.05). There were no significant differences between two groups in the postoperation ps-Tg, ps-TgAb levels and the response to initial therapy after 131I treatment ( χ2 values: 0.059-1.915, all P>0.05). Conclusions:The FDTC group displays distinct characteristics as increased aggressiveness at diagnosis. But after accurately treatment, there is no significant difference in the response to therapy between two groups.

Objective To explore the effect of the transcutaneous tracheostomy tube in patients with pneumothorax and its clinical value. Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Thirty-two patients with pneumothorax admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Harrison International Peace Hospital of Hebei Medical University from June 2010 to June 2014 were enrolled. The patients were divided into control group and observation group,with 16 cases in each group. Beside the treatment for primary disease,the patients in control group received thoracic close drainage with traditional silica gel tube as performed by thoracic surgeons,and those in observation group received thoracic close drainage with transcutaneous tracheostomy tube by intensive care doctors. The curative effect and complications of the two groups were observed. Results Compared with control group,the time from diagnosis to operation(minutes:8.00±1.36 vs. 23.06±3.83,t=14.790,P=0.000)and the operation time were significantly shortened(days:5.37±1.02 vs. 7.31±1.70,t=7.286,P=0.000),the frequency of drainage tube replacement(times:0.18±0.40 vs. 3.87±1.14,t=12.128,P=0.000)and the times of repeated chest radiography(times:1.12±0.34 vs. 2.93±0.77,t=8.589,P=0.000)in observation group were significantly reduced,the length of hospital day was significantly shortened(days:8.30±1.37 vs. 24.56±5.62,t=17.289, P=0.000),the rates of dislocation of drainage tube(0 vs. 3 cases),obstruction of the tube(0 vs. 5 cases),and subcutaneous emphysema(3 vs. 16 cases)were reduced obviously,but there was no difference in incidence of incision infection(1 vs. 3 cases)and infection of thoracic cavity(0 vs. 2 cases). Conclusions The usage of transcutaneous tracheostomy tube in patients with pneumothorax is safe and simple. Doctors in ICU can independently do this procedure,and its effect is positive.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1DM) in China.Methods:Clinical data of 279 cases related to FT1DM in Chinese Database from January 2005 to December 2018 were collected, and other 20 patients from our hospital were included in the present study.Results:(1) There has been a progressive increasing in the number of reported cases every year in China, and the number in the southern region were significantly more than that in the northern region. (2) The median age of the onset of FT1DM patients in China was 32.5 years old, without significant gender difference. Moreover, 36.5% (54/148) of the female patients caught the disease during their prenatal period, most of them were onset in the second or third trimesters of pregnancy and 2 weeks after delivery (37/40), and the prognosis of the fetus was extremely poor. (3) Compared with new-onset type 1 diabetes, FT1DM patients were younger, and with higher blood glucose [(39.7±15.3) vs (21.2 ± 9.9) mmol/L], higher serum creatinine [(188.4±115.9) vs (51.8 ±23.1) μmol/L], and higher amylase levels [245.5 (26.0-5 137.0) vs 54.7 (14.0-404.9) U/L]. FT1DM patients were with more severe acidosis, and lower HbA 1C level [(6.6 ±0.8)% vs (12.9 ± 2.5)%, P<0.01]. (4) FT1DM patients may combine with multiple organ dysfunction or severe metabolic disorders, electrolyte disorders, as well as liver and kidney dysfunctions, and elevation of amylase and muscle enzymes. Conclusion:FT1DM are with some clinical characteristics different from classic new-onset type 1 diabetes, including adult-onset, frequent in the southern China. Pregnancy may be a predisposing factor for female patients. Significant metabolic disorders and multiple organ involvements are common in the patients with FT1DM.
