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 pan-cancer analysis of the prognosis and immune infiltration of eEF1A2 and its potential function in thyroid carcinoma.

Purpose: Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1α2 (eEF1A2) promotes tumour progression in various cancers. We performed a pan-cancer analysis of eEF1A2 and explored its role in thyroid carcinoma (THCA).

Methods: Databases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), the University of Alabama at Birmingham Cancer data analysis Portal (UALCAN), and the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) were used to investigate the differential expression of eEF1A2 in pan-cancer.

Transcription factor FOXP4 inversely governs tumor suppressor genes and contributes to thyroid cancer progression.

Objective: In recent decades, thyroid cancer (TC) has exhibited a rising incidence pattern. Elevated levels of the transcription factor FOXP4 have been strongly linked to the progression of diverse tumors; nevertheless, its specific role in thyroid cancer remains underexplored. The primary objective of this study was to elucidate the functions of FOXP4 and its associated target gene, FBXW7, in the context of thyroid cancer.

The essential role of forkhead box P4 (FOXP4) in thyroid cancer: a study related to The Cancer Genome Atlas and experimental data.

Objective: Thyroid cancer (THCA) is the most common endocrine cancer in the world. Although most patients with THCA have a good prognosis, the prognosis of those with THCA who have an extra-glandular invasion, vascular invasion, and distant metastasis is poor. Therefore, it is very important to find potential biomarkers that can effectively predict the prognosis and progression of highly aggressive THCAs.

Management of granulomatous lobular mastitis: an international multidisciplinary consensus (2021 edition).

Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a rare and chronic benign inflammatory disease of the breast. Difficulties exist in the management of GLM for many front-line surgeons and medical specialists who care for patients with inflammatory disorders of the breast. This consensus is summarized to establish evidence-based recommendations for the management of GLM.

Establishment of a reversible model of prehepatic portal hypertension in rats.

The aim of the present study was to improve upon the traditional model of pre-hepatic portal hypertension in rats, and simulate the anhepatic phase of orthotopic liver transplantation without veno-venous bypass. A reversible model of portal hypertension was induced by portal vein ligation, with a label ring ligated along the portal vein. A total of 135 male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: i) Normal control (NC) group; ii) portal hypertensive control (PHTC) group; and iii) reperfusion (R) group.

[Effects of methane stress on oxidation rates and microbial community structures in different landfill cover soils].

As compared with the ordinary landfill cover material, clay soil, the effect of methane stress on oxidation rate and microbial community structure was investigated in waste soil (material from biologically treated municipal solid waste). The results showed that the moisture content of the clay soil was low, due to the low water retaining capacity. As environmental temperature and rainfall changed, the clay soil caked and inhibited methanotrophs growth.
