The impact of gasless insufflation transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy on the parathyroid gland injury in patients with thyroid cancer: a retrospective analysis.

Background: Recently, endoscope has been widely used in thyroid surgery and gasless insufflation transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy (GTET) has been the mainstay of thyroid surgery. Parathyroid gland (PG) damage is a common complication of thyroid surgery. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of GTET on hypoparathyroidism (HPT) in patients with thyroid cancer.

Impact of location and size of minimal extrathyroidal extension on lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer: a retrospective analysis.

Background: The 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)'s T-stage for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) removes minimal extrathyroidal extension (mETE), while ignoring the risk of mETE would lead to overtreatment or inadequate treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of location and size of mETE on lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 267 patients who underwent unilateral radical surgery for PTC was conducted.

Axillary lymph node removal in metastatic breast cancer.

Background: Several prospective studies have found that local surgical resection did not improve the survival of patients with metastatic breast cancer (dnMBC). However, a significant portion of dnMBC patients still undergo local surgery, and the role of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in dnMBC patients remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ALND in patients with dnMBC.

Thioredoxin-1 Activation by Pterostilbene Protects Against Doxorubicin-Induced Hepatotoxicity Inhibiting the NLRP3 Inflammasome.

Doxorubicin (DOX) has been widely used in cancer treatment. However, DOX can cause a range of significant side effects, of which hepatotoxicity is a common one, and therefore limits its clinical use. Pterostilbene (PTS) has been shown to exhibit anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in the treatment of liver diseases but whether PTS could protect against hepatotoxicity in DOX-treated mice is unknown.

Differential expression of long non-coding RNAs in the hippocampus of mice exposed to PM in Dalian, China.

Evidence is mounting that PM exposure could lead to learning disability, memory deficits, and cognitive impairment; however, the underlying mechanisms are still not well demonstrated yet. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) play a crucial role in many human diseases. Although the relationship of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and lncRNAs have been discovered, the role of lncRNA in AD-like phenotype induced by PM needs further exploration.

[Clinical outcomes Tight rope versus traditional screw fixation for the treatment of injury of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis in ankle fracture].

Objective: To compare the clinical effectiveness for Tight rope fixation and traditional screw fixation in treating injury of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis in ankle fractures.

Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in patients with injury of distal syndesmosis in ankle fractures who received 2 surgical operations(observation group: 33 cases with Tight rope fixation; control group: 35 cases with traditional screw fixation) from May 2014 to February 2016. There were 18 males and 15 females, aged from 20 to 55 years old with an average of(32.
