Background: Lung cancer has the highest fatality rate among all malignancies worldwide. Within this disease, bone metastasis (BM) emerges as a particularly deleterious site of metastatic dissemination, marked by a dismal prognosis. The objective of this investigation is to shed light on the current international research efforts and the development trajectory on lung cancer BM through a bibliometric analysis (performance and visualization analysis).

Material And Methods: An improved method for establishing a stable model of GD in BALB/c mice was developed by immunization with pcDNA 3.1/TSHR 289 and electroporation (EP).

Purpose: To study the influences of pre-ablation TSH stimulation level, sTg and sTg/TSH ratio on the therapeutic effect of the first I treatment in DTCs.
Methods: According to the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (mU/l), all the 479 differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients were divided into two groups: TSH < 30 and TSH ≥ 30. The TSH ≥ 30 group was divided into three subgroups: 30 ≤ TSH < 60, 60 ≤ TSH < 90 and TSH ≥ 90.
Cell-material interactions during early osseointegration of the bone-implant interface are critical and involve crosstalk between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The surface properties of titanium implants also play a critical role in cell-material interactions. In this study, femtosecond laser treatment and sandblasting were used to alter the surface morphology, roughness and wettability of a titanium alloy.

MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed CBC in 542 patients with DTC who were grouped according to treatment cycles and cumulative dose and then subdivided by sex and age. The effects of ¹³¹I therapy among the different groups and subgroups were analyzed.

Patients And Methods: We divided 467 patients into two groups according to tumor diameter: PTMC group (≤1 cm) and non-PTMC group (>1 cm). The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.
