Purpose: Pregnant women with a diagnosis of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) were potentially high-risk but largely ignored study population. We aimed to explore whether gestational thyrotropin levels were associated with progression of DTC.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study at Peking University Third Hospital in Beijing, China from January 2012 to December 2022.

Background: Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has been increasingly common in women of reproductive age. However, the evidence remains mixed regarding the association of DTC with adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women previously diagnosed with DTC.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in the Peking University Third Hospital in Beijing, China between January 2012 and December 2022.

We assess the associations between personality traits and co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and high BMI from adolescence to early adulthood. We employed a nationally representative cohort in China from 2010 to 2020 year. We included adolescents aged 10-19 years without depressive symptoms and unhealthy weight status (obesity, overweight, or thinness) at baseline and excluded those without any measurement of depressive symptoms or BMI at follow-ups.

Objective: To explore the association between self-control and the co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and overweight or obesity from adolescence to early adulthood in the Chinese population, and to provide a scientific basis for personalized interventions targeting individuals with different risks in the future.

Methods: From a prospective cohort study that lasted for 10 years: The China family panel studies (CFPS), a total of 608 children and adolescents meeting the following inclusion and exclusion criteria were included as study subjects: (1) Aged 10 to 19 years, at normal weight according to Chinese standards, and without depressive symptom in 2010; (2) Had self-control scores, and with at least two measurements of depressive symptoms and body mass index (BMI) between 2010 and 2020; (3) The only one or the youngest child and adolescent from each family. The co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and overweight or obesity was defined in three ways: Both of the average level of standardized scores of depressive symptoms and BMI Z-scores across multiple measurements over time were at a high level, or both of the trajectories of depressive symptoms and BMI over time based on the latent classification trajectory model (LCTM) belonging to the "risk-type", or individuals had depressive symptoms and overweight/obesity at the last follow-up survey.

Article Synopsis
  • Numerous guidelines emphasize the need for personalized interventions to combat childhood obesity, focusing on the influence of the FTO gene.
  • A systematic review of 12,255 records evaluated 13 lifestyle-based obesity interventions involving nearly 4,000 children, analyzing changes in various obesity-related metrics.
  • The findings indicated that the FTO risk allele had little impact on children's responses to these interventions, suggesting that genetic factors may have a minor role, and future research should explore the cumulative effects of multiple genes.

Background: Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is commonly diagnosed in women of child-bearing age, but whether pregnancy influences the prognosis of DTC remains controversial. This study aimed to summarize existing evidence regarding the association of pregnancy with recurrence risk in patients previously treated for DTC.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus based on the prespecified protocol registered at PROSPERO (CRD42022367896).

Article Synopsis
  • Multiple lifestyle-based obesity interventions for children show varied effectiveness, with the impact of genetic variants on outcomes still unclear.
  • *The study analyzed results from 50 research articles, finding that about 75% of investigated gene variants had no significant effect on obesity or metabolic indicators post-intervention.
  • *Overall, the findings suggest that genetic factors have a minor influence on the success of obesity interventions, highlighting the need for more comprehensive studies.*

Context And Objective: Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is very common in women of reproductive age. However, it remains unclear whether pregnancy is associated with DTC progression before surgical treatment.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study, conducted at the Peking University Third Hospital in Beijing, China between January 2012 and December 2022, included 311 eligible women aged 20 to 45 years.

Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is increasingly common in women of reproductive age. However, whether pregnancy increases the risk of DTC progression/recurrence after treatment remains controversial. The study aimed to assess the association of pregnancy with risk of progression in patients previously treated for DTC.

Background: A growing body of evidence has revealed an association between personality traits and obesity, but the findings regarding this association among children remain mixed. The aim of this review was to systematically summarize the literature regarding the associations between personality traits and childhood obesity.

Methods: The study has been registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022306529).

Aim: To 3-dimensional radiographically assess the effect of titanium plate in guided bone regeneration (GBR) for the treatment of peri-implant ridge defects in esthetic zone.

Material And Methods: Nineteen patients with buccal peri-implant defects in the maxillary esthetic zone were treated with GBR using xenograft, autogenous bone, and collagen membrane. Subjects were divided into two groups: control (conventional GBR, 10 patients with 16 implants) and test (GBR with an adjunctive titanium plate; nine patients with 15 implants).
