Recently, the morbidity of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) has increased annually. American Thyroid Association (ATA) published the management guidelines for patients with thyroid nodules and DTC in 2006 in order to standardize their management. The ATA guidelines was updated for the ifrst time in 2009 and its renewed version was completed in 2015 based on the considerable progress that had been made in the ifelds such as diagnostic assessment and management of thyroid nodules, surgery and radioactive iodine therapy for DTC in recent years. This article tried to interpret the updated contents about radioactive iodine therapy for DTC in 2015 version of the guidelines.

As an important postsurgical adjuvant treatment for DTC, radioactive iodine (RAI) is administered to eliminate residual thyroid tissue as well as the potentially persistent or distant metastatic lesions.It plays a significant role in reducing disease recurrence and tumor-related mortality.The major challenge at present in RAI treatment decision-making is how to achieve optimum clinical outcome with minimal radiation exposure.ATA guidelines recommends a postsurgical recurrence-risk adapted approach to RAI treatment management based on the clinicopathological features.However, RAI therapy is not beneficial to all DTC patients.The potential benefits from RAI therapy in DTC patients with different risk stratification have attracted much attention, and are reviewed in this article in order to provide more evidence-based basis for clinical decision-making.

Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction(SOD) is grouped under the functional gastrointestinal diseases.Due to lack of typical symptoms and signs,the diagnosis of SOD is difficult.The proposal to classify SOD significantly improves diagnosis and has important clinical significance in selecting treatment.This paper reviews the researches on classification,recent progress in diagnosis and treatment of SOD.

Objective To study the adverse effects on periodontal tissues caused by crownless roots in elderly people with osteoporosis. Methods Totally 60 12?week SD rats(30 male and 30 female)were randomly divided into the control group(10 male and 10 female sham?operated rats)and the osteoporosis group(20 male and 20 female castrated rats). After 12 weeks,the bone mineral density of right femora was measured by dual energy X?ray for all rats to confirm osteoporosis. The right molar crown was pinched off with haemostatic forceps and the molar root was retained. The 10 con?trol rats and the 20 experimental rats were sacrificed respectively at postoperative 2 and 4 weeks. The periodontal tissues of right molar were sampled and the morphology of the parodontium and the alveolar bone was observed by haematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining and the expression of tumour necrosis factor?alpha(TNF?α)and inducible nitric oxide synthase?2(NOS2)was detected by immunohistochemical staining and real time fluores?cent quantitative PCR(qRT?PCR). Results The HE slices indicated that the periodontal tissues in the osteoporosis group were significantly im?paired compared to the control group as the structure of parodontium loosened. Bone impairment aggravated over time. TNF?αstaining showed as a few claybank spots on the parodontium in the control group,while the staining colour was darkened in the osteoporosis group. The expression of TNF?αmRNA was significantly higher in the osteoporosis group than in the control group(P<0.05). The result of NOS2 was contrary to that of TNF?α. The differences in TNF?αand NOS2 were not statistically significant at 2 and 4 weeks(P>0.05). Conclusion The crownless roots in rats with os?teoporosis cause adverse effects of periodontal tissues as the roots accelerate absorption of the surrounding alveolar tissues. It is indicated that crown?less roots in elderly people with osteoporosis should be removed as soon as possible.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of glucocorticoids in the treatment of granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM), and to discuss the optimal stage to add glucocorticoids during the treatment. Methods Twenty-four patients having received the core needle biopsy were involved. Ten cases with the explicit pathological diagnosis received the glucocorticoids therapy following the subtotal excision after remission. Pathological diagnoses of the rest 14 patients were undefined. For these 14 patients, simple partial excisions were given and the postoperative pathological diagnoses were presented as the GLM. Of all the 14 patients who accepted the surgical treatment firstly, 8 patients received the postoperative glucocorticoids adjuvant therapy. For the rest 6 patients, steroid hormone therapy was not used after surgery, and they were followed up postoperatively. All patients' clinical and pathological information were collected and analyzed. Results All patients were followed up for 6-36 months (average 18) by the outpatient service. Of all the 10 patients who received the glucocorticoids therapy before surgery, only 1 patient of them got the GLM recurrence. For the 8 patients who received the postoperative glucocorticoids treatment, only 1 patient got the recurrence. For the 6 patients who received simple partial excision, the recurrence of the GLM may be up to 3. There was no statistical difference between the two groups who both received the 05). But compared with the pure surgery treatment, the difference was obviously (P<0.05). Conclusions The clinical presentation and imaging performance of GLM are unspecific, so the diagnosis of the GLM is difficult. There is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment for GLM. The glucocorticoids therapy may be necessary preoperatively or postoperatively. For the patient with clear preoperative biopsy diagnosis, preoperative glucocorticoids adjuvant chemotherapy followed by the wide excision may be an effective method.

AIM: To study the protective effects of intravenous (iv) CGRP on myocardial injury in rat. METHODS: Establish a rat myocardial ischemic injury model by subcutaneous injection of single dose of isoproterenol (ISO), and treat the model with single dose of iv CGRP. Two hours later, serum CK, LDH, MDA and SOD levels were measured, MDA and SOD in myocardial tissue were tested, and myocardial tissue structures were observed. RESULTS:(1) Serum MDA and tissue MDA levels increased significantly and serum SOD and tissue SOD decreased significantly in injury group, in the CGRP treated group, the above changes were reversed (P

Hapten-carrier protein conjugates were made using ciprofloxacin (CPFX) and two carrier proteins by 1-ethyl-3-(3- dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) method. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry were used to demonstrated that the molecule conjugate ratio of CPFX to ovalbumin (OVA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) are 6:1 and 13:1 respectively. Nondenaturing gel electrophoresis results revealed that the conjugate band migrates differently from that of the carrier protein alone and of the EDC-treated protein when as few as 6 molecules of CPFX are attached to the carrier protein. The results indicate that nondenaturing gel electrophoresis and ultraviolet spectrophotometry can be employed to analyze the molecule coupling ratio of CPFX to carrier proteins qualitatively and quantitatively.

Objective To evaluate the influence of inappropriate position deviation on radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU),effective half-life (Teff) and the corresponding dose variances in patients suffering from Graves hyperthyroidism.Methods RAIU was examined in 20 patients with Graves hyperthyroidism (7 males,13 females,average age (46.60 ±9.55) years) 2,4,6,and 24 h after intake of the radioiodine capsule.A scintillation probe was positioned at the center of the inferior edge of the thyroid cartilage 25 cm away for 2 min,which was defined as the standard manipulation (test 1).Then,the probe was moved either 5 cm backward (test 2) or 5 cm higher (test 3) compared with test 1.Variants of RAIU,Teff as well as dose calculations were acquired by different combinations (CⅠ-Ⅸ) of 4 h and 24 h-RAIU,according to the above 3 manipulations (C Ⅰ-Ⅲ:test 1 for RAIU4 h,test 1,2,3 for RAIU24 h respectively ; C Ⅳ-Ⅵ:test 2 for RAIU4h,test 1,2,3 for RAIU24h respectively; CⅦ-Ⅸ:test 3 for RAIU4h,test 1,2,3 for RAIU24h respectively).Paired t test was used to compare the statistical differences between C H-Ⅸ to C Ⅰ.Results RAIU24 h of test 2 (68.08％ ± 7.88％) and test 3 (62.18％ ± 7.45％) were significantly lower than that of test 1 (78.05％ ± 8.31％ ;t =12.15,14.37,respectively,both P ＜ 0.01).Teffs of C Ⅱ (4.42 ± 0.73) d,CⅢ(3.76 ±0.53) d,CⅤ(5.59 ±0.46) d,CⅥ(4.47 ±0.44) d,CⅧ(5.94 ±0.54) d and CⅨ (5.45 ±0.66) d were significantly different from that of C Ⅰ (5.04 ±0.56) d which was defined as standard (t:3.86-13.64,all P ＜0.01).Among the 180 131I dose values calculated by different Teff and RAIU values induced from C Ⅰ-Ⅸ combinations,74.4％ (119/160) were over-calculated while 9.4％ (15/160) were under-calculated.Taking one patient as an example,the changes of RAIU24 h (decreased up to 26.0％) and the percentage of Teff deviation(66.9％,ranged from-47.5％ to 19.4％)led to an over-calculated 131 I dosage by as high as 129.8％ compared with CⅠ.Conclusions Incorrect positioning in RAIU detection could result in various false RAIU,Teff and 131I dose calculations.Such deviations could possibly exert an impact on the patients' therapeutic outcomes,thus influencing the efficacy of the iodine therapy.Optimization of RAIU positioning is essential for clinical practice to guarantee radioiodine dose management.
