Purpose: The transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is distinguished by its ability to leave no visible scars on the body's surface. Currently, there is still a lack of single-center large sample size analysis on the learning curve of TOETVA, especially for the treatment of thyroid cancer. This study aims to fill this void by presenting a comprehensive analysis of the learning curve and assessing the procedure's feasibility in managing thyroid cancer.

Objective: To construct a model for predicting recidivism in violence in community-based schizophrenia spectrum disorder patients (SSDP) by adopting a joint modeling method.
Methods: Based on the basic data on severe mental illness in Southwest China between January 2017 and June 2018, 4565 community-based SSDP with baseline violent behaviors were selected as the research subjects. We used a growth mixture model (GMM) to identify patterns of medication adherence and social functioning.
Background: Despite the importance of medication adherence in treatment effectiveness, little is known about the association between medication non-adherence and self-inflicted violence behaviors. We aimed to assess whether medication non-adherence increased the risk of self-inflicted violence behaviors among schizophrenics in communities (hypothesis 1) and whether the dose-response relationship existed (hypothesis 2).
Methods: This 12-year cohort study in western China recruited 292,667 community-dwelling schizophrenics.

Objective: To investigate the status quo of the quality of life of schizophrenia patients in a city in Sichuan Province and to explore, thereof, the urban-rural differences in the factors influencing their quality of life.
Methods: A total of 824 schizophrenia patients were selected for the study through multistage stratified cluster random sampling method. All the subjects were selected from a pool of patients covered by the Sichuan Provincial Information System for the Comprehensive Management of Severe Mental Disorders.
Background: The great economic and social changes have resulted in the prevalence of mental disorder increasing year by year in China. Mental health medical service resources of China are significantly insufficient. The program of Transfer Training for psychiatrist was launched in China in October 2015.

The reported prevalence of violence-TO among schizophrenics ranges widely in existing studies. Improved prevalence estimates and identification of moderators are needed to guide future management and research.

The optimal exposure dose and development time were determined to be 0.006 (A·h) and 6 min, respectively, by observing the surface loss and roughness of the gratings with slit widths of 150 nm and 250 nm under different conditions.
