AI Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to find better ways to trace central lymph nodes in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma by comparing two methods of nanocarbon particle injection: preoperative ultrasound-guided injection versus intraoperative injection.
- The research involved 302 patients, with results showing that preoperative injection led to fewer dye leaks and better staining of lymph nodes.
- Preoperative ultrasound-guided injection was found to enhance the detection of specific lymph node types, especially in patients with certain thyroid conditions and larger tumors.
Article Abstract
To explore better methods for tracing central lymph nodes in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma by comparing the differences in the numbers and staining rates of central lymph nodes as well as the degree of nanocarbon extravasation between the preoperative ultrasound-guided injection of nanocarbon particles and the intraoperative injection of nanocarbon particles. A total of 302 patients were randomly divided into a preoperative ultrasound-guided injection group and an intraoperative injection group. The number and degree of staining of the lymph nodes in each subgroup of central lymph nodes, including linea alba cervical lymph nodes, Delphian lymph nodes, and pretracheal and paratracheal lymph nodes, were recorded and analyzed. The extent of dye extravasation was reduced when nanocarbon was injected preoperatively. Significantly more linea alba cervical lymph nodes and pretracheal and paratracheal lymph nodes were detected in the preoperative injection group. Preoperative injection of nanocarbon can accelerate the staining and detection of central lymph nodes in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, clinically positive lymph nodes (cN1) and tumors with diameters > 1 cm. Preoperative ultrasound-guided injection of nanocarbon can reduce the likelihood of dye spillage and improve the staining rate as well as the detection rate of central lymph nodes.

Objective: Splenectomy is regularly performed in total and distal pancreatectomy due to technical reasons, lymph node dissection and radicality of the operation. However, the spleen serves as an important organ for competent immune function, and its removal is associated with an increased incidence of cancer and a worse outcome in some cancer entities (Haematologica 99:392-398, 2014; Dis Colon Rectum 51:213-217, 2008; Dis Esophagus 21:334-339, 2008). The impact of splenectomy in pancreatic cancer is not fully resolved (J Am Coll Surg 188:516-521, 1999; J Surg Oncol 119:784-793, 2019).

Autoreactive, aberrantly activated lymphocytes that target myelin antigens in the central nervous system (CNS) are primary drivers of the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis (MS). Proliferating cells including activated lymphocytes require deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) for DNA replication. dNTPs can be synthesised via the de novo pathway from precursors such as glucose and amino acids or the deoxyribonucleoside salvage pathway from extracellular deoxyribonucleosides.

Introduction: Rectal cancer is a prevalent disease that requires multidisciplinary management. Results of treatment of patients suffering from this malignancy in Latin America have been scarcely reported before.
Methods: A retrospective, multicenter study was conducted to report preoperative and operative characteristics of patients intervened for rectal cancer in centers from Latin America during 2015-2022, and the short-term results of treatment were analyzed.

Maternal gut microbiota composition contributes to the status of the neonatal immune system and could influence the early life higher susceptibility to viral respiratory infections. Using a novel protocol of murine maternal probiotic supplementation, we report that perinatal exposure to () or () increases the influenza A/PR8 virus (IAV) clearance in neonates. Following either supplementation, type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1) were amplified in the lymph nodes leading to an enhanced IAV antigen-experienced IFN-γ producing effector CD8 T cells in neonates and IAV-specific resident memory CD8 T cells in adulthood.
