Based on the latest clinical research results and evidence-based medicine evidence, CACA Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Thyroid Cancer (2025 edition) , on account of the 2022 edition of CACA Guidelines, integrated personalized diagnosis and treatment strategies, promoted the development of multi-disciplinary collaboration, and strive to provide more comprehensive and accurate guidance for tumor diagnosis and treatment. While surgical resection is still the key treatment to improve the prognosis of the vast majority of patients with thyroid cancer (TC) . However, the scope of initial surgery should vary from person to person, and developing a more standardized surgical strategy and a more reasonable individualized treatment plan for TC patients is the key to achieving the optimal treatment effect. This paper will interpret the key points of updating the 2025 CACA guidelines from a surgical perspective, and explore the important value of surgical treatment strategies that conform to China’s national conditions in the entire management of TC diagnosis and treatment.

Background and Aims:According to the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Colorectal Cancer(2023 Edition),patients with early-stage colorectal cancer who present with high-risk factors require additional radical surgery following endoscopic resection.However,due to the relatively low rate of lymph node metastasis in early colorectal cancer,some patients may not benefit from such supplemental surgery.Therefore,accurately identifying patients who are truly likely to benefit and refining the indications for supplemental surgery are pressing clinical challenges.This study was conducted to investigate the risk factors and distribution patterns of lymph node metastasis following additional radical surgery through retrospectively analyzing a large single-center cohort,thereby providing evidence-based support for clinical decision-making.Methods:Clinicopathologic data were retrospectively reviewed for patients with early-stage colorectal cancer who underwent additional radical surgery at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center between 2008 and 2023.Binary Logistic regression and multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors associated with lymph node metastasis,and the distribution characteristics of metastatic lymph nodes were further examined.Results:A total of 417 patients were included in the study,with lymph node metastasis confirmed in 36 cases(8.63%)postoperatively.Over time,the number of patients undergoing supplemental surgery increased,while the proportion of cases with residual cancer decreased.Among 243 patients included in the risk factor analysis,univariate analysis indicated that submucosal invasion depth of SM2 or greater,poor tumor differentiation,positive vascular invasion,and tumor location were high-risk factors for lymph node metastasis.Multivariate analysis identified invasion depth(P=0.039)and tumor location(P=0.014)as independent risk factors.Among the metastatic cases,58.3%involved a single lymph node;63.9%of metastases were limited to the first station,and 36.1%extended to the second station,with no metastasis found at the third station.Only four patients had preoperative imaging suggestive of lymph node enlargement.Conclusion:Although the number of supplemental surgeries following endoscopic resection of early-stage colorectal cancer has increased significantly,the actual rate of lymph node metastasis remains low,suggesting a potential risk of overtreatment.Submucosal invasion depth ≥SM2 and tumor location are independent risk factors for metastasis.D2 lymph node dissection is deemed necessary,while the diagnostic value of imaging remains limited.Clinical decisions should prioritize precision and individualized treatment planning.

Nuclear receptor corepressor (NCoR1) interacts with various nuclear receptors and regulates the anabolism and catabolism of lipids. An imbalance in lipid/energy homeostasis is also an important factor in obesity and metabolic syndrome development. In this study, we found that the deletion of NCoR1 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) mainly activated the nuclear receptor PPARα and attenuated metabolic syndrome by stimulating thermogenesis. The increase in brown adipose tissue thermogenesis was mediated by gut-derived tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate succinate, whose production was significantly enhanced by PPARα activation in the fed state. Additionally, NCoR1 deletion derepressed intestinal LXR, increased cholesterol excretion, and impaired duodenal lipid absorption by decreasing bile acid hydrophobicity, thereby reversing the possible negative effects of intestinal PPARα activation. Therefore, the simultaneous regulatory effect of intestinal NCoR1 on both lipid intake and energy expenditure strongly suggests that it is a promising target for developing metabolic syndrome treatment.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of Mismatch ratio in computed tomography perfusion(CTP)and dif-fusion weighted imaging(DWI)to assess the lesion outcome after treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods Whether there were any differences in clinical and imaging data of AIS patients were analyzed retrospectively between the Mismatch ratio>1.2 group and the Mismatch ratio≤1.2 group,and between the hemorrhagic transformation group and the non-hemorrhagic transformation group.Results The age of onset and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score of AIS patients in the group with Mismatch ratio>1.2 were greater than those in the group with Mismatch ratio≤1.2.The Mismatch ratio>1.2 group had lower incidence of hyperlipidemia,new infarct foci,and higher hypercoagulability,cerebral hemorrhage,as well as large cerebral infarction.The NIHSS score was higher in the hemorrhagic transformation group than the non-hemorrhagic transformation group,and the incidence of large cerebral infarction and digital subtraction angiography(DSA)thrombectomy was higher in the former than in the latter.Multifactorial logistic analysis showed that age,NIHSS score,and hyperlipidemia were independent risk factors for AIS patients with Mismatch ratio>1.2 and large cerebral infarction was an independent risk factor for hemorrhagic transformation.Conclusion The Mismatch ratio in CTP is correlated with age,NIHSS score,and hyperlipidemia in patients with AIS and large cerebral infarction is correlated with hemorrhagic transformation.

BACKGROUND:Compared with traditional two-dimensional culture,three-dimensional microtissue culture can show greater advantages.However,more favorable cultivation methods in three-dimensional culture still need to be further explored. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the cell behavior of microtissue and its ability to promote cartilage formation under two three-dimensional culture methods. METHODS:Cartilage-derived microcarriers were prepared by chemical decellularization and tissue crushing.DNA quantification and nuclear staining were used to verify the success of decellularization,and histological staining was used to observe the matrix retention before and after decellularization.The microcarriers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and CCK-8 assay.Cartilage-derived microtissues were constructed by combining cartilage-derived microcarriers with human adipose mesenchymal stem cells through three-dimensional static culture and three-dimensional dynamic culture methods.The cell viability and chondrogenic ability of the two groups of microtissues were detected by scanning electron microscopy,live and dead staining,and RT-qPCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Cartilage-derived microcarriers were successfully prepared.Compared with before decellularization,the DNA content significantly decreased after decellularization(P<0.001).Scanning electron microscope observation showed that the surface of the microcarrier was surrounded by collagen,maintaining the characteristics of the natural extracellular matrix of cartilage cells.CCK-8 assay indicated that microcarriers had no cytotoxicity and could promote cell proliferation.(2)Scanning electron microscopy and live and dead staining results showed that compared with the three-dimensional static group,the three-dimensional dynamic group had a more extended morphology of microtissue cells,and extensive connections between cells and cells,between cells and matrix,and between matrix.(3)The results of RT-qPCR showed that the expressions of SOX9,proteoglycan,and type Ⅱ collagen in microtissues of both groups were increased at 7 or 14 days.The relative expression levels of each gene in the three-dimensional dynamic group were significantly higher than those in the three-dimensional static group at 14 days(P<0.05).At 21 days,the three-dimensional static group had significantly higher gene expression compared with the three-diomensional dynamic group(P<0.001).(4)The results showed that compared with three-dimensional static culture microtissue,three-dimensional dynamic culture microtissue could achieve higher expression of chondrogen-related genes in a shorter time,showing better cell viability and chondrogenic ability.
