Objective:To explore the reoperation cause and molecular classification of patients reoperated for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods:This is a retrospective case series study. Clinical data from 102 PTC patients who underwent reoperation at the Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were collected between February 2019 and December 2024. The cohort comprised 26 males (25.5%) and 76 females (74.5%), with initial age of (33.1±12.2) years (range: 9 to 67 years). At initial surgery, 25.5% (26/102) exhibited extrathyroidal extension, 52.0% (53/102) had multifocal tumors, and 19.6% (20/102) had metastatic lymph nodes with extranodal extension. AJCC staging classified 95.1% (97/102) as stage Ⅰ, 2.9% (3/102) as stage Ⅱ, and 2.0% (2/102) as stage Ⅲ. Standardized primary tumor resection was performed in 81.4% (83/102), prophylactic central compartment lymph node dissection (LND) in 89.2% (91/102), and therapeutic lateral LND in 47.1% (48/102). Data on recurrence, genetic alterations, reoperation intervals, and clinical features of multiple recurrent PTC cases were analyzed.Results:Among 102 patients, 81.4% (83/102) presented with lateral neck metastases, 48.0% (49/102) with central compartment metastases, and 22.6% (23/102) with residual thyroid lobe recurrence at reoperation. Reoperation occurred within 6 months postoperatively in 18.6% (19/102) and after 6 months in 81.4% (83/102). Genetic detection revealed BRAF mutation in 63.7% (65/102), RET fusions in 19.6% (20/102), and TERT promoter mutations in 8.8% (9/102). During reoperation, 88.2% (90/102) underwent therapeutic lateral LND, and 39.2% (40/102) required residual gland resection. Twelve patients received multiple surgeries, including 4 cases with BRAF+TERT mutations, 4 with RET fusions, and 4 with BRAF mutation alone. Conclusions:The reasons for the reoperation of PTC mainly include recurrence and complementary surgery. Genetic alterations such as BRAF mutation and RET fusion are common in PTC patients requiring reoperation.

Objective:To study the postoperative complications and its risk factors in patients undergoing breast reconstruction with abdominal flaps.Methods:The clinical data of patients undergoing breast reconstruction with abdominal flaps at Department of Breast Oncoplastic Surgery, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from Jan 2011 to Apr 2022 were reviewed.Results:Postoperative complications occurred in 95 of 484 patients (19.6%), 15.5% had flap complications, 5.2% had donor-site complications, and fat necrosis was the most common complication (11.9%). The rate of fat liquefaction decreased significantly through technical improvement (1.7% vs. 7.0%); By univariate analysis, there were statistically significant differences among the groups by reconstructive type, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, BMI, smoking history ( χ2=21.088, P<0.001; χ2=4.385, P=0.036; χ2=14.784, P=0.018; χ2=19.015, P=0.048). Unplanned reoperation statistically related to the timing of reconstruction, and reconstructive type ( χ2=7.316, P=0.007; χ2=17.167, P<0.001). Revision surgery significantly related to the timing of reconstruction and timing of radiation ( χ2=40.785, P<0.001; χ2=18.602, P<0.001);By multivariate analysis, deep inferior epigastric perforator flap, smoking history were independent risk factors for flap necrosis ( OR=0.084, 95% CI:0.022-0.325, P<0.001; OR=41.623, 95% CI:3.241-534.569, P=0.004) . Conclusions:Complications after breast reconstruction with abdominal flaps are related to many factors. The surgical risks should be carefully evaluated and personalized plan should be formulated before surgery.

Stroke is one of the most common cerebrovascular diseases, including hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. From a modern medical perspective, stroke is caused by cerebrovascular damage or embolism leading to impaired blood circulation. From the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) perspective, the pathogenesis of this disease is mainly due to the disorder of Qi and blood, which ascend to the brain, causing either blood extravasation or blockage of brain collaterals. Stasis is a pathological factor that runs throughout the entire course of stroke, and the method of promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis has been a core treatment for stroke for a long time. Hirudo, as a traditional insect drug, has shown good effects in promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis. Modern pharmacological research has confirmed that Hirudo contains anticoagulant components, which provide significant advantages in dissolving thrombi in ischemic stroke and facilitating hematoma absorption in hemorrhagic stroke. Hirudo and its related preparations have been proven to exert an anti-stroke effect through anticoagulation, anti-thrombosis, and protection of vascular endothelium. As a result, they have been widely used in the treatment of stroke. This article explored the theoretical basis and research status of using Hirudo for treating stroke based on its main active components and hemostatic properties and summarized the current research status of commonly used Hirudo-based formulations and preparations, aiming to provide references for the involvement of Hirudo in stroke treatment.

The mechanisms underlying autophagic defects in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remain largely unknown. We aimed to elucidate the roles of hepatic cyclooxygenase 1 (COX1) in autophagy and the pathogenesis of diet-induced steatohepatitis in mice. Human nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) liver samples were used to examine the protein expression of COX1 and the level of autophagy. Cox1Δhepa mice and their wildtype littermates were generated and fed with 3 different NASH models. We found that hepatic COX1 expression was increased in patients with NASH and diet-induced NASH mice models accompanied by impaired autophagy. COX1 was required for basal autophagy in hepatocytes and liver specific COX1 deletion exacerbated steatohepatitis by inhibiting autophagy. Mechanistically, COX1 directly interacted with WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 2 (WIPI2), which was crucial for autophagosome maturation. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated rescue of WIPI2 reversed the impaired autophagic flux and improved NASH phenotypes in Cox1Δhepa mice, indicating that COX1 deletion-mediated steatohepatitis was partially dependent on WIPI2-mediated autophagy. In conclusion, we demonstrated a novel role of COX1 in hepatic autophagy that protected against NASH by interacting with WIPI2. Targeting the COX1-WIPI2 axis may be a novel therapeutic strategy for NASH.

In the 42 nd and 44 th workshops of CSPEN-nutritional risk-undernutrition-support-outcome-cost effectiveness ratio (NUSOC) multi-center database collaboration group, Jens Kondrup and Henrik Rasmussen described again the application of NRS 2002, the evidence-based basis of NRS 2002 development and the methodology for prospective validation of clinical effectiveness. There is no gold standard for validation. They both considered that malnutrition could be identified as a score of 3 or more for impaired nutritional status in NRS 2002. Although NRS 2002 is simple and easy to be applied, it is not comprehensive enough for malnutrition diagnosis. ASPEN and ESPEN on-line published the Global Leadership (nutritional) Initiative on Malnutrition(GLIM)diagnosis criteria in September 2018. With the gradual implementation of medicare payment based on diagnosis related groups(DRG)in China, the nutritional risk and the malnutrition diagnosis with Chinese version of ICD-10 (2016) code should be recorded in the first page of the medical records. In this terminology interpretations, the terms of nutritional risk screening(NRS 2002.01.016)and malnutrition diagnosis (GLIM-phenotypic criteria 01.028, etiologic criteria 01.029) published in Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Terminology 2019 are discussed based on the reports given by Kondrup and Rasmussen in Beijing and Zhengzhou.

Objective:To systematically review the methodology in clinical trial-based health economics study with cost-effectiveness ratio for nutritional drug.Methods:The literature on health economics study for nutritional drug was retrieved from PubMed and Wanfang Medical Network by October 2019. The literature was selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and was assessed using the Cochrane Risk Bias Assessment Tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Its methodology such as participants and grouping, confounding factors, research perspective, cost accounting, health outcomes and health economics analysis methods, sensitivity analysis, etc, was systematically reviewed as well.Results:Four target literatures were included in this study. The participants were from gastroenterology, gastrointestinal surgery, etc. Random grouping, regression, propensity score matching method, etc, were used to control confounding factors. The research perspective needed to be clear according to the principle of health economics study. The present literatures focused on "direct medical costs" , and calculated cost-effectiveness ratio or incremental cost-effectiveness ratio to evaluate the economics of medical interventions.Conclusion:The evidence of high-quality health economics research in parenteral and enteral nutrition area in China needs to be promoted, especially in the control of confounding factors, the choice of research perspective and sensitivity analysis, which are supposed to be explored by multidisciplinary research teams in practice.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of nutritional risk (NRS2002) and malnutrition inhospitalized stroke patient and their nutritional intervention. Methods The stroke patients admitted to three de-partments of vascular neurology ward including cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and subarachnoid hemor-rhage in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were recruited using cluster sampling. Nutri-tional risk screening 2002 ( NRS 2002) was used to screen the nutritional risk of inpatients Malnutrition was as-sessed by criteria:(1) body mass index (BMI) <18. 5 kg/m2 with poorer general condition from January 2018 to January 2019;(2) Global leadership initiative on malnutrition ( GLIM) criteria were used except whole body muscle mass measurement from October 2018 to January 2019. The nutritional intervention for patients were closely observed during hospitalization. Results A total of 1532 patients were registered and1036 patients were included in the final analysis considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The prevalence of nutritional risk was 33. 0% ( 342/1036) . The prevalence of malnutrition based on BMI and GLIM criteria was 0. 9%( 9/1036) and 2. 5% (10/393) respectively. Among the 342 patients with nutritional risk, 112 patients received nutritional support therapy by tube feeding, but only 29 patients received nutritional support that met guideline standards. 81 patients received not standard nutritional support, and 2 patients received highly unregulated nutritional sup-port. No patients received sugar and electrolyte infusion, oral nutritional supplements ( ONS) , oral nutritional a-gents and compound nutrition intervention. The other 230 patients took hospital diet. Conclusion The prevalence of nutritional risk in hospitalized patients with cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction or subarachnoid hemorrhage was high, and the prevalence of malnutrition was extremely low. There was a low proportion of nutri-tional support. High quality of large sample cohort studies will be conducted to show whether reasonable applica-tion of nutritional support therapy in patients with nutritional risk can improve patient outcome.
