Analysis of Body Mass Index and Clinicopathological Factors in Patients with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.

Objective: To analyze the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and clinicopathological factors of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).

Methods: The clinical data of patients with PCT who were hospitalized in the Department of Thyroid Surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from March 2023 to September 2023 were retrospectively collected, including age, gender, height, weight, BMI, v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B () gene mutation, tumor size, multifocus, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, lymph node metastasis and other clinicopathological factors. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition for Asian population, BMI≥25kg/m was obese group, 23≤BMI≤24.

A PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis of apolipoprotein C3 polymorphisms and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Background: The relationship between apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) gene polymorphisms and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) risk has been investigated in many studies, with inconclusive findings. This meta-analysis evaluated the effect of APOC3 promoter region polymorphisms (-455T/C and -482C/T) on NAFLD susceptibility.

Methods: A comprehensive search of eligible studies up to October 2020 was performed on Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases.
