Objective:To explore the feasibility of retroauricular robotic thyroidectomy and introduce the experience and lessons.Methods:From May 2018 to December 2018, 5 consecutive cases underwent gasless retroauricular robotic thyroidectomy by using Davinci Si system at Beijing United Family Hospital, including 1 male and 4 females, aged from 18 to 37 years old. And they were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. Among them, one case was a recurrence of cervical lympy nodes after total thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer.Results:Among 5 patients (mean age 32.4 years, mean tumor size 1.3 cm), one patient underwent unilateral thyroid lobectomies, 3 patients did total thyroidectomy and 4 patients did neck dissection. All patients had papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC). The average time for unilateral retroauricular robotic thyroidectomy was 375 min. Intraoperative conversion to open surgery happened in one patient. Postoperative vocal cord paralysis and hypocalcemia developed in one of the patients.Conclusion:Retroauricular robotic thyroidectomy is feasible for selected patients and would be a potential alternative approach in remote-access approaches for thyroid surgery.

Objective To investigate physical activity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to analyze its influencing factors,in order to provide references for the prevention and control of disease.Methods A total of 469 cases of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled in this study.The basic information,such as gender,age and so on,and situation of physical activity,including work,housework,transportation and entertainment,were surveyed via questionnaire.Results The total amount of physical activity of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in this survey was (1 581.59±743.65)MET-min per week,were mainly contributed from entertainment and housework which was (940.83 ± 547.06) and (407.20 ± 226.63)MET-min per week respectively.The amount of physical activity of patients in different age,occupation,duration of illness and BMI,and patients with or without other chronic diseases were significantly different (P<0.05).Under 45 years old,being on-the-job,with other chronic disease were risk factors for lack of physical activity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (P<0.05),while aged 45-<60 years old,light or normal weight was the protection factors of sufficient physical activity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (P<0.05).Condusion The overall physical activity of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is on the medium level,and its main types are entertainment and housework.Patients under 45 years old,being on-the-job,with other chronic diseases have higher risk of lacking physical activity.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-frequency electric dissection for colorectal cysts.Methods The personal information,clinical data,operation methods and postoperative complications of patients who were diagnosed as having colorectal cysts and underwent high-frequency electric dissection in Nanfang hospital and Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University between January 1st,2005 and July 1st,2015 were analysed.All patients enrolled in the study were followed up to obtain their resuits of colonoscopy.Results A total of 63 patients were enrolled into our study,9 lesions located in the ileocecus,17 in the ascending colon,19 in the transverse colon,10 in the descending colon,7 in the sigmoid colon and 1 in the rectum.The maximum diameter of the cysts was 20.2+7.5 mm (5-40 mm).All patients underwent high-frequency electric dissection to remove the cysts completely or part of the cyst wall for drainage.Hemorrhage occurred in only one patient and bleeding stopped after being clipped by Titanium clip.Forty-five patients were followed up and there were no delayed complications or recurrence during a postoperative follow-up of 24.1 + 14.3 months (6-87 months).Conclusion High-frequency electric dissection is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of colorectal cysts.

Objectlve To investigate the inhibition of Coxsackievirus B3(CVB3)infection in cardiac myocytes cultured by small interfering RNA(siRNA)-mediated RNA interference and to evaluate the feasibility of siRNA as the prophylaxis and therapy for CVB3 infection.Methods Cardiac myocytes were prepared in vitro and infected with CVB3,and transfected with siRNA by lipofectamin and electroporation.The numbers of beating cardiac myocytes were counted under the microscope.Neutral red staining was used to evaluate the mortality of cardiac myocytes.Antiviral activities of these siRNAs were estimated by observing cytopathic effect(CPE),plaque reduction assay,Western blot assay and RT-PCR.Results siRNA-3753,which aimed at sequence in 2B section of CVB3 genome,displayed a stronger inhibition of CVB3 infection through screening in HeLa cells,siRNA-3753,chosen to transfect cultured neonatal mice cardiac myocytes,Wag observed to keep a good states of growing and beating at 24 h after CVB3 infection.Whereas the cytopathic signature of controlled cells became stopping beating,round and finally the cell fell off the culture plate.The results showed that siRNA-3753 could protect cells significantly,98.1%inhibition of CVB3 replication with electroporation transfection and 78.2%inhibition of CVB3 with liposome transfection.Transfection efficiencies were 56.0 3%and 9.0%by electroporation and lipofectamin,respectively.Conclusion siRNA,which aims at sequence in 2B section of CVB3 genome,can inhibit CVB3 infection in cultured cardiac myocytes.
