Background:
Active surveillance (AS) has emerged as a viable management strategy for low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), following pioneering trials at Kuma Hospital and the Cancer Institute Hospital in Japan. Numerous prospective cohort studies have since validated AS as a management option for low-risk PTMC, leading to its inclusion in thyroid cancer guidelines across various countries. From 2016 to 2020, the Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study of Active Surveillance on Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma (MAeSTro) enrolled 1,177 patients, providing comprehensive data on PTMC progression, sonographic predictors of progression, quality of life, surgical outcomes, and cost-effectiveness when comparing AS to immediate surgery. The second phase of MAeSTro (MAeSTro-EXP) expands AS to low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) tumors larger than 1 cm, driven by the hypothesis that overall risk assessment outweighs absolute tumor size in surgical decision-making.
Methods:
This protocol aims to address whether limiting AS to tumors smaller than 1 cm may result in unnecessary surgeries for low-risk PTCs detected during their rapid initial growth phase. By expanding the AS criteria to include tumors up to 1.5 cm, while simultaneously refining and standardizing the criteria for risk assessment and disease progression, we aim to minimize overtreatment and maintain rigorous monitoring to improve patient outcomes.
Conclusion
This study will contribute to optimizing AS guidelines and enhance our understanding of the natural course and appropriate management of low-risk PTCs. Additionally, MAeSTro-EXP involves a multinational collaboration between South Korea and Australia. This cross-country study aims to identify cultural and racial differences in the management of low-risk PTC, thereby enriching the global understanding of AS practices and their applicability across diverse populations.

Objective:
To explore the association between bedroom light at night (LAN) exposure and body mass index (BMI) in children at 1 year follow up, so as to provide new strategies for obesity prevention.
Methods:
From December 2021 to May 2022, cluster random sampling was conducted, involving 648 children from two primary schools in Tianchang, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, China, to assess bedroom LAN exposure of children during sleep. A questionnaire survey and physical examination were carried out in May 2022. Multivariate linear regression was performed to analyze the correlation between bedroom LAN exposure and BMI variable quantity at 1 year follow up (May, 2023).
Results:
The median intensity of bedroom LAN exposure during the sleep episode was [1.11(0.35,3.24)lx] in children. The proportion of the sample exposed to an average light intensity of ≥3 lx was 27.5%, while 19.0% was exposed to a LAN intensity of ≥5 lx during the sleep episode. In the multivariable linear regression, after adjusting for covariates, including sex, baseline age, sleep duration, family monthly income, and maternal education level, exposure to a 1 h-average post bedtime LAN intensity of ≥3 lx ( β=0.25, 95%CI =0.05-0.44) and LAN≥5 lx ( β=0.34, 95% CI = 0.12-0.55) was associated with a gain of 0.25 and 0.34 kg/m 2, respectively, in the children s BMI at the 1 year follow up ( P < 0.05).
Conclusions
A positive correlation was found between bedroom LAN exposure and BMI variable quantity at 1 year follow up in children. Thus, reduced bedroom LAN exposure might be useful for interventions aimed at obesity prevention.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of lithium disilicate glass ceramic cantilever resin-bonded fixed partial dentures(CRBFPDs)on single anterior tooth loss to provide a reference for the selection of restoration methods for single anterior tooth loss.Methods This study was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee,and informed consent was obtained from the patients.Forty-two patients with less than two anterior teeth with monomaxillary loss were included in this study.After 6 months,1 year,2 years,and 3 years,the aesthetic and functional effects of the restorations and the periodontal health status were evaluated,and the visual analog scale(VAS)was used to assess pa-tient satisfaction.Results During the observation period,the connector fractured in one case within 3 months.One case had debonded within 2 years.The aesthetic restoration effect of all lithium disilicate glass ceramic CRBFPDs was categorized as Class A.The periodontal health was good,there was no clinical absorption in the soft and hard tissues of the abutment or subbridge,periodontal status according to the evaluation indices was classified as class A,and the total satisfaction rate of the patient was 100%.Conclusion For single anterior tooth loss patients,lithium disilicate glass ceramic cantilever resin-bonded fixed partial denture can achieve the restoration effect of less invasion,better adhesion,aesthetics,comfort and good biocompatibility.With high patient satisfaction,it can be considered an ideal restoration method for replacing a single anterior tooth.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of the controlling nutritional status (COUNT) score for the early prognosis of lung transplantation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Methods:Retrospective collection of 154 patients with IPF who underwent lung transplantation at Wuxi People's Hospital,preoperative data including demographics,preoperative comorbidities,and last laboratory findings,intraoperative as well as postoperative complications were collected. The ability of COUNT score and other nutritional assessment tools to predict 30-day survival was assessed using ROC curves,survival curves for the low and high COUNT score groups were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method,and log-rank compared the difference in survival between the two groups. COX regression was also used to analyze independent risk factors for poor 30-day postoperative prognosis in IPF patients. Results:According to the division of COUNT score,there were 101 cases (65.6%) of preoperative combined malnutrition in IPF patients. COUNT score was more predictive of poor early 30-day prognosis in IPF lung transplant patients than BMI,Alb,and PNI indices. Using a cutoff value of 2.5 determined by ROC to divide the high group and low COUNT group,the 30-d and 90-d survival rates of the high COUNT group were lower than those of the low COUNT group (P<0.05). And the high COUNT group had a higher APACHE Ⅱ score 24h before ICU admission,a higher incidence of postoperative AKI,a longer duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation,and a longer duration of ECMO diversion (P<0.05). The multivariate COX regression analysis suggested that low COUNT score and obesity were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in IPF patients 30 days after lung transplantation. Conclusion:COUNT score is a predictor of poor prognosis in early lung transplantation,and nutritional assessment is essential before lung transplantation in patients with IPF.
