Bibliometric analysis and visualization of global research trends in primary thyroid lymphoma via CiteSpace.

Background: Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a rare malignancy of the thyroid gland that poses significant clinical challenges due to its rarity and the varied therapeutic approaches it demands. Although recent years have seen an increasing focus on PTL, there is a notable lack of bibliometric analyses that consolidate the evolving research within this field. This study aims to analyze and highlight the research hotspots and trend changes in PTL, elucidating their clinical implications and guiding future research.

The differences between unilateral multifocality and bilateral multifocality in papillary thyroid carcinoma: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: The differences between unilateral multifocality and bilaterality in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the differences between unilateral multifocal PTC (UMPTC) and bilateral multifocal PTC (BMPTC).

Methods: Retrospective data analysis was done on 503 individuals who underwent complete thyroidectomy for PTC.

The value of total tumor diameter in unilateral multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma: a propensity score matching analysis.

Background: Tumor multifocality is frequently observed in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, the maximum tumor diameter (MTD), currently utilized in various staging schemes, might not accurately indicate the level of aggressiveness exhibited by multifocal tumors. We aimed to investigate the relationship between total tumor diameter (TTD) and clinicopathological features of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach for Thyroid Lobectomy.

The manuscript describes the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) for thyroid lobectomy. The patient is placed in the supine position with extension and fixation of the neck. One 20 mm transverse incision and two 5 mm incisions are made through the mucosa of the oral vestibule for camera and instrument placement after disinfection of the skin and oral cavity.

Surgical treatment and prognosis values of extranodal extension to recurrent laryngeal nerve in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Purpose: Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) invasion by extranodal extension (ENE) is a rare condition that may occur in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), and it has never been characterised in the literature.Our research aims to investigate the clinical significance of ENE to RLN including its effect on vocal cord function, relationship with the aggressive behaviour of PTC, and optimal surgical methods.

Methods: A total of 3119 patients, including 2868 patients without RLN invasion, 251 patients with RLN invasion [categorised into the ENE invasion group (n = 55) and extrathyroidal extension (ETE) invasion group (n = 196)] were analyzed retrospectively.

The Effects of Radioiodine Therapy on the Recovery of Parathyroid Function in Patients with Protracted Hypoparathyroidism after Total Thyroidectomy for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.

Background: To determine the effect of 131I treatment on postoperative parathyroid function and the timing of recovery of parathyroid function (RPF) in patients with protracted hypoPT.

Methods: 260 patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) were retrospectively analyzed, including 166 patients treated with radioactive iodine-131 (131I) classified into the 131I group and 94 patients without 131I treatment classified into the control group. Data on clinicopathological characteristics, demographics, dose and interval time of 131I treatment, number of parathyroid glands remaining (PGRIS), occurrence of hypoPT, duration of RPF, preoperative and postoperative levels of Ca and PTH were collected.

Bioenergy in China: Evaluation of domestic biomass resources and the associated greenhouse gas mitigation potentials.

As bioenergy produces neutral or even negative carbon emissions, the assessment of biomass resources and associated emissions mitigation is a key step toward a low carbon future. However, relevant comprehensive estimates lack in China. Here, we measure the energy potential of China's domestic biomass resources (including crop residues, forest residues, animal manure, municipal solid waste and sewage sludge) from 2000 to 2016 and draw the spatial-temporal variation trajectories at provincial resolution.

Rapidly changing coal-related city-level atmospheric mercury emissions and their driving forces.

The up-to-date city-level mercury emission inventory is essential for effective mitigation policy designs due to rapid changes in energy consumption and industrial structures in Chinese cities. This study updated the atmospheric mercury emission inventory in 2015 based on the most recent information on plant-specific air pollution control devices (APCDs) and coal consumption for 45 sectors in 215 Chinese cities. Total emissions were estimated at 218 t with an uncertainty range of - 54.

Diagnostic and prognostic value of preoperative systemic inflammatory markers in anaplastic thyroid cancer.

Background: Easily accessible, generalized, and inexpensive methods are expected to differentiate anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) from advanced differentiated thyroid cancer (aDTC). We aimed to explore potential diagnostic and prognostic value of systematic inflammatory markers (SIMs) in ATC and aDTC.

Methods: About 22 ATC, 101 aDTC, and 100 matched early DTC patients were analyzed retrospectively.
