Subcutaneous implantation of nodular goiter after transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach: A case study and review of literature.

Background: Extrathyroid implantation or dissemination of thyroid tissue secondary to a thyroid procedure is rare. Most of these belonged to thyroid carcinoma with metastatic potential and uncommon for benign pathologies.

Methods: We report the case of a 31-year-old female who was identified to have multiple subcutaneous implantation of thyroid tissue 5 years after transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach.

Euryale promotes cell elongation and seed size by altering the distribution of indole-3-acetic acid under the light.

Euryale ( Salisb.) is an aquatic crop used as both food and drug in Asia, but its utilization is seriously limited due to low yield. Previously, we hypothesized that s (s) regulate seed size, but the underlying biological functions and molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

Delayed tracheal rupture following transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach: Case report and review of the literature.

Background: Although the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) has been proven to be a safe procedure for select patients, as it is a novel approach, all associated complications require adequate attention.

Methods: We presented a 49-year old woman who underwent TOETVA developed delayed tracheal rupture 1 week after surgery. An extensive search of literature was carried out using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for studies reporting tracheal injury following endoscopic thyroidectomy.

Intraoperative near-infrared autofluorescence imaging for hypocalcemia risk reduction after total thyroidectomy: Evidence from a meta-analysis.

This meta-analysis evaluates whether near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) imaging reduces the risk of hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy. A systematic literature search in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library for studies from June 2011 to January 2021 comparing total thyroidectomy with NIRAF and conventional surgery (naked eye). Six eligible studies involving 2180 patients were included.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) fails to improve cognition in patients with parkinson's disease: a Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Cognitive decline is one of the greatest concerns for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and their care partners. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a nonpharmacological treatment option used to improve cognitive function in PD, but its efficacy is unclear. We performed a meta-analysis to determine whether rTMS improves cognition in PD patients.

Alterations in intrinsic functional networks in Parkinson's disease patients with depression: A resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study.

Aims: The aim of this research was to investigate the alterations in functional brain networks and to assess the relationship between depressive impairment and topological network changes in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with depression (DPD).

Methods: Twenty-two DPD patients, 23 PD patients without depression (NDPD), and 25 matched healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. All participants were examined by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans.

Intestinal dysbiosis in pediatric Crohn's disease patients with mutations.

Background: Several studies have employed animal models to explore the association between microbiota and interleukin (IL) 10 signaling; however, limited information is available about the human microbiome.

Aim: To characterize the microbiome in patients with mutations and to explore the association between gut dysbiosis and disease severity.

Methods: Fecal samples were collected from patients who were diagnosed with loss-of-function mutations in the gene between January 2017 and July 2018 at the Children's Hospital of Fudan University.

Utility of Activated Carbon Nanoparticle (CNP) During total Thyroidectomy for Clinically Nodal Positive Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC).

Background: Activated carbon nanoparticle (CNP) is a novel tracer that may facilitate nodal dissection in clinically nodal positive (cN1) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The present study compared the nodal yield and surgical outcomes between surgery with CNP and without CNP.

Methods: Patients who underwent total thyroidectomy with therapeutic nodal dissection for cN1 PTC were given the option of intraoperative CNP injection.

Clinical features, endoscopic polypectomy and STK11 gene mutation in a nine-month-old Peutz-Jeghers syndrome Chinese infant.

Aim: To investigate multiple polyps in a Chinese Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) infant.

Methods: A nine-month-old PJS infant was admitted to our hospital for recurrent prolapsed rectal polyps for one month. The clinical characteristics, a colonoscopic image, the pathological characteristics of the polyps and X-ray images of the intestinal perforation were obtained.

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans impede myelination by oligodendrocytes after perinatal white matter injury.

Hypomyelination is the major cause of neurodevelopmental deficits that are associated with perinatal white matter injury. Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are known to exert inhibitory effects on the migration and differentiation of oligodendrocytes (OLs). However, few studies describe the roles of CSPGs in myelination by OLs and the cognitive dysfunction that follows perinatal white matter injury.

[Effect of perinatal recurrent infection on the brain development in immature mice].

Objective: To study the effects of perinatal recurrent infection on the brain development in immature mice.

Methods: Six pregnant C57BL6 mice were randomly assigned to three groups: intrauterine infection, perinatal recurrent infection and control. The intrauterine infection group was intraperitoneally injected with LPS (0.

RIT2 polymorphism is associated with Parkinson's disease in a Han Chinese population.

Recently, a meta-analysis including 5 large genome-wide association studies has identified rs12456492 variant of RIT2 gene as a novel risk locus for Parkinson's disease (PD) in Caucasian populations. However, the association between RIT2 polymorphism and PD risk has not been positively replicated in Asian population yet. We detected the genotypes of rs12456492 in 524 PD patients and 521 control subjects from a Han Chinese population.

[Progress in encephalopathy of prematurity].

The preterm birth has been increasing for the last decade. With the development of neonatal intensive care techniques, the survival rate of preterm infants is increased markedly. However, the brain of preterm infants is so vulnerable to injury that preterm brain injury has become an enormous public health problem.

[A minimally invasive approach in the treatment of complicated anal fistula through spatium intermuscular of anal sphincter].

Objective: To investigate the optimal operative approach for the complicated anal fistula.

Methods: One hundred and ninety-two cases with complicated anal fistula were randomly divided into minimally invasive operation group (through spatium intermuscular of anal sphincter) and fistula resection group. The operation time, bleeding time during and after operation, pain lasting time, healing time of incision, area of anal scar, anal malformation and function and post operative recurrence were observed and compared between the two groups.

Mild hypothermia protects liver against ischemia and reperfusion injury.

Aim: To determine whether mild hypothermia could protect liver against ischemia and reperfusion injury in pigs.

Methods: Twenty-four healthy pigs were randomly divided into normothermia, mild hypothermia and normal control groups. The experimental procedure consisted of temporary interruption of blood flow to total hepatic lobe for different lengths of time and subsequent reperfusion.
