Background and Aims:With the widespread use of electrosurgical devices in open thyroid surgery,the surgical smoke generated during procedures has become a significant concern,as it compromises surgical visibility,reduces operational efficiency,and poses health risks to medical staff.Currently,local smoke evacuation is commonly performed by an assistant using a handheld suction device,which is limited in range,interferes with surgical procedures,and increases labor costs.This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness,safety,feasibility,and staff satisfaction associated with a self-made annular smoke evacuation device constructed from readily available materials for use in open thyroid surgery.Methods:A total of 82 patients undergoing open surgery for papillary thyroid carcinoma at Suqian First People's Hospital between March and June 2024 were randomly assigned to an observation group and a control group(41 patients each).During surgery,the observation group used a self-made annular smoke evacuation device for continuous smoke removal,while the control group used conventional manual suction via an assistant.Outcomes compared between the two groups included PM2.5 concentrations 30 cm above the surgical field,operative time,intraoperative blood loss,and medical staff satisfaction with smoke removal.Results:During thyroid tissue dissection,the PM2.5 concentration in the observation group was(63.26±11.71)μg/m3,corresponding to a"good"air quality level,while in the control group it was(126.35±40.12)μg/m3,ranging from"mild to severe pollution"—a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).In the observation group,operative times for unilateral and bilateral procedures were(31.25±11.36)min and(71.13±17.12)min,respectively,with intraoperative blood loss of(10.5±5.3)mL and(18.6±5.5)mL.In the control group,times were(39.27±15.42)min and(78.35±22.35)min,with blood loss of(12.5±5.8)mL and(20.5±6.5)mL,respectively—all differences not statistically significant(all P>0.05).Staff satisfaction was significantly higher in the observation group compared to the control group(97.6%vs.31.7%,P<0.05).Conclusion:The self-made annular smoke evacuation device demonstrated favorable results in open thyroid surgery,effectively reducing surgical smoke concentration,improving visibility,and minimizing health risks to medical staff without compromising surgical efficiency or safety.The device is cost-effective,easy to assemble,and can be repurposed postoperatively as a drainage tube,requiring no additional consumables.Its reusability and ease of integration offer strong practical value and clinical applicability.

Objective: To investigate the effect of nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutant A on TGF-β1-induced K562 cell proliferation and AKT phosphorylation. Methods: K562 cells were infected with Ad5-NPM1 to create an NPM1 over-expression cell model. NPM1 levels were determined by ELISA and Western blot analysis. The levels of AKT and P-AKT were determined by Western blot. MTT was used to measure the proliferation of K562 cells. Results: NPM1 protein levels in K562 cells increased in an Ad5-NPM1-MOI-dependent manner. Cell proliferation and NPM1 levels in the supernatant were significantly increased in K562 cells infected with Ad5-NPM1-30 and Ad5-NPM1-100 compared to those infected with Ad5-vector-100 (P<0.01). Treatment with (10 ng/mL) TGF-β1 increased P-AKT levels, but not total AKT levels in K562 cells. TGF-β1-induced phosphorylation of AKT was significantly increased by infection of K562 cells with Ad5-NPM1-100. No significant differences were found in total AKT levels among all groups. TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL) treatment also in-creased the proliferation of K562 cells. TGF-β1-induced K562 cell proliferation was significantly increased by infection with Ad5-NPM1-100 (P<0.01). Conclusions: NPM1 improves TGF-β1-induced cell proliferation by up-regulating AKT phosphorylation levels.

Objective To study the method and clinical value of preservation of intercostobrachial nerve( ICBN) by fat dissolving meth-od during breast cancer operation. Methods The clinical data of 50 cases withⅠ~Ⅲa stage breast cancer from January 2013 to June 2013 were analyzed. Fifty patients were randomly divided into two groups,there were 26 patients in preservation group,whose ICBN were preserved by fat dissolving method during axillary lymph nodes dissection,and 24 patients in resection group,whose ICBN were not preserved by routine method during axillary lymph nodes dissection. Comparison of operation times,bleeding volume,the number of axillary lymph nodes dissection and upper arm sensory function of patients after operation between both groups was done. Results The mean time of operation was (102. 3 ± 15. 6) min in preservation group and(95. 6 ± 12. 4) min in resection group,while the number of axillary lymph nodes dissection was (19. 5 ± 8. 8 ) in preservation group and ( 19. 2 ± 9. 5 ) in resection group, with no significant difference between both groups (P>0. 05). Bleeding volume was (51. 2 ± 11. 5)mL in preservation group and (98. 5 ± 13. 4)mL in resection group,with significant differ-ences(P<0. 05). After postoperative one month,we observed upper arm sensory function of patients. It showed that 3 cases of sensory numb-ness or pain occurred in preservation group (11. 5%),20 cases of sensory abnormality occurred in resection group (83. 3%),mainly as sen-sory loss,numbness,pain or burning sensation,there was significant difference between both groups (P<0. 05). All patients were followed up half a year,patients with sensory abnormality in preservation group recovered,and recovery in resection group was not obvious,it still showed sensory abnormality in varying degrees. During the follow-up,no local recurrence or distant metastasis was found in both groups. Conclusion Preserving intercostobrachial nerve by fat dissolving method in breast cancer operation is based on conventional operation and made a few of improvements. It is simple and feasible. During the operation,we find that the axillary neurovascular is clearer,preservation of ICBN is easier. It does not affect the axillary lymph node dissection and operation time,while it can reduce incidence of postoperative sensory abnormality and improve the quality of life of patients,therefore it is worthy of clinical application.
