CircRNA ITCH Inhibits Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transformation and Promotes Apoptosis in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma via miR-106a-5p/JAZF1 Axis.

Circular RNA ITCH (circ-ITCH) is implicated in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) development. Nevertheless, the more detailed molecular mechanism remains uncovered. The transcriptional level of circ-ITCH was tested via quantitative real-time PCR.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease in the elderly with diabetic foot ulcers: A longitudinal cohort study.

This study aimed to explore the association between metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and ulcer recurrence risk in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) through an ambispective longitudinal cohort. From December 2013 to December 2022, a total of 482 inpatients with DFUs (PEDIS grade 3 and above with a severe infection) were eligible for inclusion in this study. This was an ambispective longitudinal cohort study.

Evaluation of ITGA3 as a Biomarker of Progression and Recurrence in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.

Objective: To investigate the expression of ITGA3 and its association with clinical outcomes in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Methods: The expression level, association with clinicopathologic characteristics, co-expressed genes, signaling pathways of ITGA3 in thyroid cancer were comprehensively analyzed using bioinformatics analysis through multiple public gene databases. PTC specimens and cell lines were used to verify the results of bioinformatics analysis.

The advantages of carbon nanoparticles in level VII lymph node dissection in patients with papillary thyroid cancer.

Background: The characteristics of level VII lymph nodes were explored and the advantages of using carbon nanoparticles (CNs) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) surgeries were examined. This was a retrospective study investigating the clinical data of patients with PTC who underwent surgical treatment.

Methods: From September 2019 to December 2020, a total of 191 consecutive patients with PTC were retrospectively analyzed.

Pros and Cons of Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Via Vestibular Approach: A Comparative Study.

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the feasibility and safety of transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy via vestibular approach (TOETVA) compared with endoscopic thyroidectomy via bilateral areola approach (ETBAA) in the treatment of patients with benign thyroid nodules.

Materials And Methods: From January 2017 to December 2018, 60 patients who received TOETVA were enrolled as the research group; 65 patients who underwent ETBAA were included as the control group. A retrospective study was performed using the clinical data for these cases.

Endoscopic thyroidectomy versus traditional open thyroidectomy for identification of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve.

Aim: To explore the anatomical features of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) and determine an effective approach for its preservation during endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET).

Methods: From January 2017 to December 2018, a total of 405 consecutive patients with thyroid disease were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into the ET group and the open thyroidectomy (OT) group according to the surgical approaches.
