Riedel's thyroiditis (RT) is a rare form of thyroid disease,and the rate of misdiagnosis is high due to the low incidence of RT and the lack of understanding of the disease by clinicians.There is currently no standard and guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of RT.Improving the understanding of RT is of great significance for standardizing diagnosis and treatment and improving the life quality of patients.

Primary thyroid lymphoma is rare in the population, and with the improvement of the diagnostic efficiency of the needle biopsy technique, the effect of surgical treatment of primary thyroid lymphoma is reduced, but the surgical biopsy is still irreplaceable when the pathological subtype is not clear. The prognosis of primary thyroid lymphoma is mainly related to the pathological type and the stage of the disease.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the distance of the circumferential resection margin (CRM) on postoperative recurrence after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 83 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer in Yiwu Central Hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were retrospectively included. They were divided into recurrent group (16 cases) and non-recurrent group (67 cases) according to the recurrence within 1 year after operation. The clinical data, postoperative CRM distance and laboratory indicators of the two groups were collected to analyze the influence of CRM distance on postoperative recurrence after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer.Results:The proportion of patients treated with postoperative chemotherapy, and postoperative CRM distance in the recurrent group were lower than those in the non-recurrent group: 9/16 vs. 83.58 % (56/67), (0.85 ± 0.23) mm vs. (1.64 ± 0.76) mm. The levels of CEA and CA19-9 at admission were higher than those in the non-recurrent group: (156.74 ± 11.58) μg/L vs. (149.96 ± 10.26) μg/L, (15.63 ± 2.77) kU/L vs. (14.04 ± 2.35) kU/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Point binary correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between CRM distance and postoperative recurrence after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer ( r = - 0.412, P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the long distance of CRM was the protective factor of recurrence after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer ( OR<1, P<0.05). The results of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the CRM distance to predict the recurrence after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer was 0.833>0.7, and the predictive value was good. When the optimal threshold was 1.080 mm, the ideal sensitivity and specificity could be obtained 87.50% and 81.00%. Conclusions:The shorter the CRM distance after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer, the higher the risk of recurrence. The CRM distance can be used as a predictor of recurrence after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Shenling Baizhusan on the intervention of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway by regulating ferroptosis in rats with alcoholic liver injury. MethodForty SD rats were randomly divided into model group, polyene phosphatidylcholine group, and high, medium, and low-dose Shenling Baizhusan groups, with 8 rats in each group. Another 8 SD rats were taken as blank group. The model group, polyene phosphatidylcholine group, high, medium, and low-dose Shenling Baizhusan groups were given 10 mL·kg-1 liquor by gavage for modeling, and the blank group was given equal volume of distilled water by gavage. After 4 h of daily alcoholic administration, 143.64 mg·kg-1 of polyene phosphatidylcholine group was given to the polyene phosphatidylcholine group, 15, 7.5, 3.75 mg·kg-1 of Shenling Baizhusan were given to Shenling Baizhusan high, medium, and low-dose groups, respectively, and the blank group and the model group were given equal volume of distilled water. The gavage lasted for 6 weeks. The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride (TG) were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-β (IL-β) were detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), and Fe+ were detected by biochemical assay. The pathological changes in the liver were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and oil red O staining. The mRNA expression levels of Nrf2, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), ferritin heavy polypeptide 1 (FTH1), and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were detected by Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The protein expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, GPX4, FTH1, p65, and phosphorylation (p)-p65 were detected by Western blot. ResultAs compared with the blank group, the levels of liver function (ALT, AST, and GGT) and blood lipids (TC and TG) in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.05). The liver showed obvious steatosis, with a large number of fat deposition, the oxidative stress and inflammatory factors were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the level of Fe+ was significantly increased in model group (P<0.05). The protein expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, GPX4, and FTH1 was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05), and those of p65 and p-p65 was significantly up-regulated in the model group (P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, GPX4, and FTH1 were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05), and the mRNA expression level of NF-κB was significantly up-regulated (P<0.05). As compared with the model group, the levels of liver function (ALT, AST, and GGT) and blood lipids (TC and TG) in the high-dose and medium-dose Shenling Baizhusan groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05), liver steatosis was significantly improved, fat deposition was significantly reduced, oxidative stress and inflammatory factors were significantly decreased (P<0.05 ), and Fe+ level was significantly decreased (P<0.05). In the high-dose and medium-dose Shenling Baizhusan, the protein expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, GPX4, and FTH1 were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05), and those of p65, p-p65 were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, GPX4, and FTH1 were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05), and the mRNA expression level of NF-κB was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). ConclusionShenling Baizhusan can effectively reduce liver injury in rats with ALD, regulate steatosis and fat deposition, and play an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory role in the liver. Its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of ferroptosis in hepatocytes by up-regulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway to improve oxidative stress
