Unlabelled: Parathyroid gland transplantation into the sternocleidomastoid muscle is effective, but it is not possible to confirm transplant survival with this method. In this study, we evaluated parathyroid autotransplantation into the brachioradialis muscle and its survival rate.
Objectives: To evaluate autologous parathyroid gland left forearm brachioradial muscle transplantation and its survival rate.
Summary Background Data: The most commonly used transplantation site is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, but transplant survival cannot be confirmed using this method. Autologous parathyroid gland left forearm brachioradial muscle transplantation solves this problem, and we evaluate the transplant survival using this method.
Methods: We followed-up patients who underwent thyroidectomy and autologous parathyroid left forearm brachioradial muscle transplantation in our center from September 2013 to January 2018. The last follow-up date was January 2021; all enrolled patients underwent at least 3 years of follow-up. We calculated the transplant survival rate at several time points.
Results: We evaluated 238 transplanted cases, for which the long-term survival rate was 85.7% (204/238), and the short-term survival rate was 86.1% (205/238). Sixty-five cases had two parathyroid glands transplanted into the left forearm brachioradialis muscle. The long-term survival rate was 92.3% (60/65), and the short-term survival rate was 95.4% (62/65).
Conclusions: Autologous parathyroid gland left brachioradialis transplantation is a reliable, measurable method with good survival rate, and we recommend this method for consideration for transplanting parathyroid glands in thyroidectomy.

Objectives: We aimed to compare the outcomes of patients with T1-T2N0M0 glottic squamous cell carcinoma who underwent either partial laryngectomy (PL) or radiotherapy (RT).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 562 patients treated with RT (n = 151) or PL (n = 411) was conducted. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate outcomes.

The reconstruction of complex skin defects challenges clinical practice, with autologous skin grafts (ASGs) as the traditional choice due to their high graft take rate and patient compatibility. However, ASGs have limitations such as donor site morbidity, limited tissue availability, and the necessity for multiple surgeries in severe cases. Bioengineered skin grafts (BSGs) aim to address these drawbacks through advanced tissue engineering and biomaterial science.

Purpose: The present work focused on assessing whether hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with lenvatinib and tislelizumab was safe and effective on advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) showing high tumor burden.
Methods: In the present multicenter retrospective study, treatment-naive advanced HCC patients (BCLC stage C) showing high tumor burden (maximum diameter of intrahepatic lesion beyond 7 cm) treated with lenvatinib and tislelizumab with or without HAIC were reviewed for eligibility from June 2020 to June 2023. Baseline differences between groups were mitigated by propensity score matching (PSM).

Background: Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) is a widely accepted treatment for esophageal cancer, yet it is associated with a significant risk of surgical adverse events (SAEs), which can compromise patient recovery and long-term survival. Accurate preoperative identification of high-risk patients is critical for improving outcomes.
Aim: To establish and validate a risk prediction and stratification model for the risk of SAEs in patients with MIE.

Background: Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been associated with increased risk of colon cancer (CC) and worse prognosis in patients with metastases. The effects of T2DM on postoperative chemoresistance rate (CRR) and long-term disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with stage III CC who receive curative resection remain controversial.
Aim: To investigate whether T2DM or glycemic control is associated with worse postoperative survival outcomes in stage III CC.
