Objective To study the correlations between DLN and clinical pathological factors and provide clinical data for assessing the operation scopes and prognostic evaluations aims at further clarify its clinical values.Methods The research aimed at the 69 cases who undertook first-time surgery and confirmed thyroid papillary carcinoma by intraoperative frozen pathology from 2013 to 2014 in Wannan Medical college affiliated Yijishan Hospital.The groups was divided by whether the DLN had been detected and metastasized.And we made chi-square test or t test by using SPSS 22.0 to analysis between the clinical and pathological factors.Results The groups was divided by whether DLN had been metastasized from the detected cases and the results shown that there was no relationship with gender,age,tumor size,Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the number of COLN (which not including DLN).For multifocal cases (21.05% vs 57.14%,P =0.047);for vascular infiltration,the positive cases of (10.53% vs 71.43%,P<0.001);for the metastasized rate of COLN,the positive cases of (65.79% vs 14.29%,P =0.011);for the metastasized number of COLN,[(0.84 ± 1.48) vs (3.86 ± 3.08),P < 0.001].All the data above illustrated that the two groups are statistically correlative in mulifocality,vascular infiltration,the metastasized rate of COLN and for the metastasized number of COLN.17.39% of PTC cases can be detected by CD34 and D2-40.According to the presence of vascular infiltration,it can be divided into two groups,We contrast analyzed of the number of TCLN (include DLN),metastasized number of TCLN and the metastasized rate of TCLN.The results shown that the number of TCLN had no statistical differences,but significant in metastasized number of TCLN [(0.74 ± 1.83) vs (4.50 ± 2.20),P < 0.001) and the metastasized rate of TCLN (29.82% vs 100.00%,P < 0.01)].Conclusions The DLN positive patients are more likely to have distant lymph node metastasized.If DLN positive,total thyroidectomy and bilateral central compartment neck dissection (CCND) has been necessary.Lateral selective neck node dissection (LSND) can be underwent after evaluating carefully combining with the history and preoperative images.CD34 and D2-40 could be the detection indexes of vascular infiltration for PTC.For the cases with vascular infiltration,it has a higher proportion to have the metastasized number and metastasized rate of TCLN and higher possibility of distant metastasis.So we should expand the scope of operation moderately and strengthen postoperative follow-up according to the history and preoperative images so as to reduce postoperative recurrence,distant metastasis rate and improve the living quality of patients.

To understand the possibility of schistosomiasis transmission on the East Route Project of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, a survey of endemic status of schistosomiasis in Weishan Lake area was conducted. A cluster sampling of 2086 boatmen were screened with DDIA Kit, and the positive ones were examined with Kato-Katz technique. Meanwhile, a questionnaire survey about schistosomiasis control was carried out to collect the data about the boatmen's general information and knowledge , attitude and practice (KAP). The results showed there were no schistosomiasis patients. However, there exist potential risk factors for schistosomiasis transmission because of the bad hygiene habits and the poor knowledge of schistosomiasis prevention in boatmen.

Objective:To explore the correlation between the number of sentinel regional lymph node (SALN) and non-sentinel regional lymph node (NSALN) metastasis in patients with early breast cancer after sentinel regional lymph node (SALN) biopsy.Methods:Retrospectively selected 400 female patients with early breast cancer who underwent SALN biopsy at the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery, Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College from January 2016 to July 2021, and summarized and analyzed their clinical case data. The Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method was used to compare the count data between groups. Perform single-factor analysis on the research indicators, then screen out indicators with statistically significant differences, then perform multi-factor Logistic regression analysis, draw a receiver operating characteristic curve, and combine the area under the curve to establish a predictive model.Results:SALN biopsy was performed in 400 patients with early breast cancer. A total of 1 504 lymph nodes were detected in 320 cases of total mastectomy, with an average of 4.7, 47 cases of macrometastasis, and 2 cases of postoperative macrometastasis. The false negative rate was 4.3%. Among 400 cases, 67 cases were positive for SALN, and the positive rate was 16.75% (67/400). The results of univariate analysis showed that the number of tumor thrombus in the vessel, the number of positive SALN and the metastasis of NSALN were closely related ( χ2=8.775, 16.53, P=0.003). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of tumor thrombi and SLN-positive ≥3 in the vessel were independent predictive risk factors for NSLN metastasis ( OR=16.149, 95% CI: 3.016-86.473, P<0.001; OR=31.76, 95% CI: 5.242-192.43, P<0.001). SALN positive was closely related to NSALN metastasis, but as the number of SALN detected increases (more than 6) and when only 1 to 2 SALN was positive, the probability of NSALN metastasis was significantly reduced ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The positive number of SALN and intravascular tumor thrombolus were closely related to NALN metastasis. SALN positive number ≥3 was the most important independent predictor of NSALN metastasis. The recurrence risk of sentinel lymph node can be reduced by increasing the number of SALN detected, when 1-2 positive sentinel lymph node are detected and the number of sentinel lymph node detected >6, axillary lymph node dissection can be exempted as appropriate.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive surgery and traditional surgery in the treatment of multiple benign mammary lumps.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to select 158 patients with multiple benign breast masses admitted to Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College from July 2016 to February 2018,all of them were female,average age was (28.3 ± 6.6) years old,range from 19 to 51 years old.The patients were divided into minimally invasive group (n =122) and traditional group (n =36) according to different surgical methods.The minimally invasive group was treated by minimally invasive rotary excision,while the traditional group was treated by traditional surgery.The operation time,number of incisions,average length of incisions,cumulative length of incisions and healing time of incisions were compared between the two groups.The incidence of local hematoma,local infection,breast deformity and local residual were compared after operation,and the satisfaction of the two groups was aslo compared.Normal distribution measurements were expressed by mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD),independent sample t test was used for inter-group comparison;non-normal distribution measurements were expressed by median (quartile spacing) [M(P25,P75)],Mann-Whitney U test was used for inter-group comparison.Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability test was used to compare the count data between the two groups.Results As compared to the traditional group,the minimally invasive group had shorter operation time (20.0 min vs 40.0 min,Z =-8.590,P < 0.001),less number of incisions (1.0 vs 2.0,Z =-4.423,P <0.001),smaller average surgical incision length (3.8 mm vs 35.5 mm,Z =-9.211,P < 0.001),smaller cumulative surgical incision length (4.0 mm vs 67.2 mm,Z =-9.130,P < 0.001),quicker postoperative recovery (4.0 d vs 7.0 d,Z =-9.334,P < 0.001).There were no significant differences between the two groups in incidence of postoperative hematoma (4.1% vs 2.8%,x2 =0.000,P =1.000),incidence of infection (0 vs 2.8%,P =0.228),incidence of postoperative breast shape change (1.6% vs 2.8%,x2 =0.000,P =1.000),and incidence of residual (0.8% vs 0,P =1.000).Psychological satisfaction of patients in minimally invasive group (95.1%) was significantly higher than that in traditional group (58.3%),the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001).Conclusions Compared with traditional surgery,the application of minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of multiple benign mammary lumps has many advantages,such as shorter operation time,less number of incisions,smaller surgical incision length,quicker postoperative recovery and higher satisfaction of patients after operation.It has not significantly increased postoperative complications.It is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
