ICD-related risk model predicts the prognosis and immunotherapy response of patients with liver cancer.

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a novel cell death mechanism that activates and regulates the immune system against cancer. However, its prognostic value in liver cancer remains unclear. Here, several algorithms such as correlation analysis, Cox regression analysis, and Lasso regression analysis were carried out to evaluate the prognostic value of ICD-related genes in patients with liver cancer.

The safety, benefits and future development of overnight and outpatient thyroidectomy.

With the development of medical care, the safety of thyroidectomy is improving year by year. Due to economic benefits and other advantages of the overnight and outpatient thyroidectomy, more and more patients and medical institutions have favored overnight and outpatient thyroidectomy, and its proportion in thyroidectomy has increased year by year. However, overnight and outpatient thyroidectomy still faces many challenges and remains to be improved.

Immune cell death-related lncRNA signature as a predictive factor of clinical outcomes and immune checkpoints in gastric cancer.

Immune cell death (ICD) is a type of tumor cell death that has recently been shown to activate and regulate tumor immunity. However, the role of ICD-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in gastric cancer remains to be clarified. We obtained 375 tumor samples from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and randomly assigned them to training and verification groups.

A prognostic exosome-related LncRNA risk model correlates with the immune microenvironment in liver cancer.

Emerging studies have shown the important roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the occurrence and development of liver cancer. However, the exosome-related lncRNA signature in liver cancer remains to be clarified. We obtained 371 tumor specimens and 50 normal tissues from the TCGA database.

Short-term recovery in patients suffering hypoparathyroid after thyroidectomy: a case control study.

Background: Postoperative hypoparathyroidism is the main reason for outpatient follow-up and long-term oral calcium and calcitriol treatment. Our study investigated the influencing factors and powerful predictors of short-term postoperative parathyroid function recovery.

Methods: Logistic regression was used to compare the clinicopathological characteristics; surgical details; and serum calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and phosphorus (P) concentrations of patients.

Identifying the Transcriptional Regulatory Network Associated With Extrathyroidal Extension in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma by Comprehensive Bioinformatics Analysis.

Extrathyroidal extension (ETE) affects papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) prognosis. The objective of this study was to identify biomarkers for ETE and explore the mechanisms controlling its development in PTC. We performed a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis using several datasets.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis elicits decreased diagnostic efficacy of thyroid nodule ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration.

Background: False negative (FN) or false positive (FP) results of thyroid ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (US-guided FNA) cause missed diagnosis of thyroid cancer or unnecessary thyroidectomy.

Purpose: To explore the impact of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) on the diagnostic efficacy of US-guided FNA and to analyze the differences in diagnostic efficacy between US-guided FNA and thyroid ultrasonography (US) in patients with HT.

Method: Medical records were reviewed retrospectively.
