Based on the panel data of prefecture-level cities and above and provincial-level cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, respectively, this study measured the agricultural carbon emissions, carbon sinks, and carbon offset rates from 2006 to 2021 and analyzed their evolution characteristics. Based on the STIRPAT model and ridge regression analysis, this study identified the factors affecting agricultural carbon emissions in the 11 provinces and municipalities in the Yangtze River Economic Zone, combined them with the scenario analysis method to predict the agricultural carbon emissions under the baseline scenario in the period of 2022 to 2025, and analyzed the process of "carbon peaking." Simultaneously, this study predicted the agricultural carbon sinks of 11 provinces and cities from 2022 to 2025 and then speculated their agricultural "carbon neutral" process under the framework of agricultural carbon compensation rate, so as to summarize the effective paths for different provinces and cities to achieve agricultural "carbon peak and carbon neutral.

Purpose: Exposing the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during all types of thyroid surgery is essential to protect this nerve. Endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) has gained acceptance from both patients and physicians, in part due to the cosmetic benefits. Therefore, the avoidance of intraoperative RLN impairment during ET is of critical significance.
