Background: The aberrant expression of E3 ubiquitin ligase Pellino-1 (PELI1) contributes to several human cancer development and progression. However, its expression patterns and functional importance in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) remains unknown.
Methods: PELI1 expression profiles in PTC tissues were obtained and analyzed through the starBase v3.
Background: To investigate whether high thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) levels are associated with increased risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) of thyroid cancer.
Methods: Data of 2,352 patients who committed thyroidectomy from January 2018 to December 2018 at our institution were retrospectively reviewed. Of which, 806 patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer with available data of both TPOAb and TgAb were finally included, and were divided into four groups: (I) TPOAb-/TgAb- (control, n=493), (II) TPOAb+/TgAb- (n=96), (III) TPOAb-/TgAb+ (n=104), and (IV) TPOAb+/TgAb+ (n=113).
Background: Protection of parathyroid is very important in thyroid surgery. Our aim was to compare the effect of Focus Harmonic Scalpel and Conventional Haemostasis on parathyroid function in thyroid surgery.
Methods: To analyse the clinical data of patients in our hospital from November 2011-December 2015 retrospectively.
A major consequence of obstructive jaundice (OJ) in clinical practice is the development of severe liver injury, and at present, no effective treatments have been developed to protect against it. Preconditioning with damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecules has been demonstrated to protect multiple organs from injury, and histones have been recently identified as DAMP molecules. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of histone preconditioning against OJ-induced liver injury in rats and the involvement of Toll-like receptors.
