Objective To screen long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)associated with lymph node metasta-sis in papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)and verify its function in vitro,so as to provide a theoretical basis for elucidating the molecular mechanism of lymph node metastasis in PTC.Methods lncRNA+mRNA microar-ray was used to detect the differential expression of lncRNA and mRNA in PTC cancer tissues with and with-out lymph node metastasis.Real time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR)verified target differential lncR-NAs.Lentivirus was used as vector to construct high and low lncRNA expression PTC cell lines.Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8),cell scratches assay,Transwell assay,cell clone formation assay were used to detect the effects of target lncRNA on proliferation,migration,invasion,clonal formation of PTC cells.Results Compared with 5 cases of PTC tissues without lymph node metastasis,gene chips detected 119 lncRNA and 53 mRNA expres-sion levels upregulated,while 263 lncRNA and 198 mRNA expression levels down regulated in 5 cases of PTC tissues with lymph node metastasis.Furthermore,21 lncRNAs were selected for validation in the original 10 PTC samples,and the results showed that,compared with PTC tissues without lymph node metastasis,lncR-NAs FLJ20444,DPP10-AS1 and ENST00000567197 were highly expressed in PTC tissues with lymph node metastasis,while uc021thd.1,LNC00944,ENST00000429730 and BLNK were lowly expressed(P＜0.05).In addition,qPCR results of another 30 fresh PTC tissues showed that compared with PTC tissues without lymph node metastasis,DPP10-AS1 was highly expressed and LNC00944 was lowly expressed in PTC tissues with lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).Cell function experiments showed that the proliferation,migration,invasion,and colony formation abilities of PTC cells in the DPP10-AS1 high expression group were higher than those in the DPP10-AS1 low expression group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion lncRNA DPP10-AS1 may play a role in PTC metastasis through certain signaling pathways.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of flow diverter (FD) implantation versus stent-assisted coil embolization (SACE) in unruptured saccular aneurysms located at distal segments of the Willis circle.Methods:A retrospective study was performed; 119 patients with unruptured saccular aneurysms located at distal segments of the Willis circle who received FD implantation or SACE in Department of Neurosurgery, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Southern Medical University and Department of Cerebrovascular Surgery, Neurosurgery Center, Southern Medical University from January 2018 to May 2025 were selected. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into a FD group ( n=60) and a SACE group ( n=59). These patients were subjected to propensity score matching (PSM) using 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method to eliminate confounding factors such as gender, age, aneurysm location, and aneurysm diameter (maximum diameter); and then, differences in neurological functional prognosis (good prognosis: modified Rankin scale scores of 0-2), complete aneurysm occlusion rate (O'Kelly-Marotta grade D or Raymond occlusion classification class I), and overall (perioperative and follow-up) complications were compared between the two groups. Results:After PSM, there were 43 patients in both FD group and SACE group. No significant difference was found in clinical and imaging follow-ups (12[6, 19] months vs. 10[6, 15] months, 10[5, 19] months vs. 9[2, 15] months) between the FD group and SACE group ( P>0.05). At the last imaging follow-up, the complete aneurysm occlusion rate in the FD group (65.1%[28/43]) was significantly lower than that in the SACE group (76.7%[33/43], P<0.05). At the last clinical follow-up, no significant difference was noted in good prognosis rate (95.3%[41/43] vs. 97.7%[42/43]) and overall complication rate (30.2%[13/43] vs. 18.6%[8/43]) between the FD group and SACE group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Both FD implantation and SACE are safe and effective for unruptured saccular aneurysms located at distal segments of the Willis circle; the complete aneurysm occlusion rate within 1 year of FD implantation is relatively low.

Purpose To investigate the genetic mutation characteristics and its correlation with clinicopathologic characteristics of radioactive iodine-refractory papillary thyroid cancer(RAIR-PTC).Methods PTC gene mutation detection kit was constructed based on the characteristics of PTC gene mutation.37 cases of RAIR-PTC tumor samples and 36 cases of radioiodine-avid thyroid papillary carcinoma tumor samples were detected by multiple PCR sequencing.The mutation of PTC tumor samples was identified by bioinformatics analysis,and the correlation between gene muta-tions and clinicopathological characteristics of patients was statistically analyzed.Results BRAF,TERT,TP53,AKT1 and NRAS gene mutations were detected in RAIR-PTC tumor samples,with BRAF V600E and TERT promoter mutation rates of 70.3％and 24.3％,respectively.Gene mutation of RAIR-PTC often manifested as the accumulation of multiple gene mutations,with co-mutations of BRAF or RAS and TERT promoter being the most common,and these co-mutations were significantly associated with patients'progression-free survival of PTC.Conclusion The accumula-tion of gene mutation can promote the occurrence of RAIR-PTC.TERT promoter mutation is a late event of PTC.TERT promoter mutation and co-mutations of BRAF or RAS and TERT promoter can help to evaluate the possibility of iodine refractory in PTC patients,in whom the therapeutic effect of radioactive iodine should be closely monitored and the ac-curate and effective treatment should be took as soon as possible.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of radioactive Iodine-refrac-tory differentiated thyroid cancer(RAIR-DTC)to provide a clinical evidence for early prediction of the thyroid cancer patients with radioactive Iodine-refractory(RAIR).Methods The data of 84 patients with undergoing thyroidectomy and 131I therapy in PLA 960 hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Thirty-nine patients with diagnosed RAIR-DTC served as the study group and 45 cases of radioactive iodine-avid differentiated thyroid cancer(RAIA-DTC)served as the control group.The clinicopathological characteristics were compared between the two groups.The logistic regression was used to analyze the inde-pendent risk factors of RAIR-DTC,and the RAIR-DTC prediction model was established.Results Compared with the RAIA-DTC group,the RAIR-DTC group had more iodine treatment times,the proportions of the pa-tients with age ≥55 years old,total iodine therapeutic dose,distant metastasis,TNM stage Ⅳ,high-risk sub-types and focal calcification were higher,the tumor maximum diameter was greater,the number of lymph node metastases was more and the probability of Ⅱ,Ⅰ+Ⅱ and non-central lymph node metastases was higher(P＞0.05).The progression-free survival rate had statistical difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).The total survival rate had no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The binary logistic re-gression analysis results showed that the distant metastasis,high-risk histological subtype and maximum tumor diameter ≥10.5 mm were the independent risk factors for RAIR-DTC.The obtained fitting equation logit(P)=-2.259+3.330X1+2.287X2+1.606X3,the ROC curve was used to calculate the truncation val-ue of the fitted equation as-0.312 5,when logit(P)＞-0.312 5,it might develop into RAIR-DTC.Conclusion The clinicopathological characteristics of the patients with differentiated thyroid cancer could ef-fectively predict RAIR.
