Objective To evaluate if performing thyroidectomy through small incision has any notable aesthetic impact on patients compared with larger incision. Methods Thirty consecutive patients underwent thyroidectomy were enrolled from March 2008 to June 2008 in this prospective randomized pilot study. The incision length was 6 cm in the small incision group and 9 cm in the larger incision group. After 3 years follow-up，the scar aesthetics were evaluated by patients and surgeons using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale （POSAS），Vancouver Scar Scale （VSS），respectively. Digital photographs about scars were taken and assessed by non-research related viewers. Results There were 13 cases who received scar aesthetic assessment in both groups. The demographic characteristics of both groups were comparative. The overall patients’ satisfactions for the small incision group and the larger incision group were （2.5±1.9） scores and （2.2±1.5）scores， respectively （P=0.55）. There were no significant differences in scar assessment scale score as for other scar assessment scales （including VSS score，PSAS score，and OSAS score） between the two groups. The evaluation of digital photographs about scars by non-research related viewers was no significant difference （P＞0.05）. Conclusion Larger cervical scar in thyroidectomy does not decrease patients’ satisfaction with their scar results.
Objective To investigate the indications and prevention of complications of total thyroidectomy in the management of thyroid diseases. Methods Eighty five patients who received total thyroidectomy between Jan. 2009 and Dec. 2011 were retrospectively analyzed with regard to the surgical procedures and postoperative complications. There were 46 thyroid cancers， 38 nodular goiters， and 1 Hashimoto thyroiditis. Results The postoperative pathological exam-inations revealed that 9 （19.6%） of 46 thyroid cancers were bilateral， and all of nodular goiters were also bilateral multiple nodule. Bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerves were exposed in all of the patients in which 4 recurrent laryngeal nerves were invaded by cancer and 1 was sacrificed. There were 5 patients whose parathyroids were not identified and protected during the operation. Two patients developed postoperative bleeding and needed reoperation， 6 patients developed hoarseness of whom 5 patients recovered except for the one whose nerve was sacrificed. And in terms of hypoparathyroidism， 33 （38.8%） patients developed transient hypocalcemia related symptoms. The permanent hypoparathyroidism occurred only in 2 patients. Conclusions Total thyroidectomy is a safe procedure in the management of thyroid cancer and bilateral nodular goiter. Exposing the recurrent laryngeal nerve and parathyroid is an effective method to prevent major complica-tions. Invasion of recurrent laryngeal nerve by thyroid cancer might not lead to hoarseness.
Objective To investigate the threshold value for postoperative parathyroid hormone （PTH） that can predict the development of symptomatic hypocalcemia. Methods The patients received total thyroidectomy and all the operations performed by the same team from June 2010 to December 2011 in the thyroid and breast group of department of general surgery，Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University were enrolled in this prospective study. Serum PTH and calcium were tested at 1-hour postoperatively and thereafter every day during hospitalization. Symptoms of hypocalcemia were recorded. Receiver operator characteristic curve was plotted to test the value of PTH assay to predict symptomatic hypocalcemia. Results There were 45 consecutive patients recruited in this prospective study，9 （20.0%） patients remained normocalcemic and 36 （80.0%） patients developed hypocalcemia postoperatively. There were 19 （42.2%） patients who developed symptoms associated with hypocalcemia and needed calcium supplement. The postoperative PTHs for normocalcemic （n=9），asymptomatic （n=17），and symptomatic （n=19） hypocalcemia patients groups were （40.5±23.7） ng/L，（18.3±9.1） ng/L，and （7.6±4.2） ng/L，respectively （P＜0.001）. The PTH value less than 13.4 ng/L could easily predict who were at high risk to develop symptomatic hypocalcemia with sensitivity of 94.7% and specificity of 76.9%. Conclusions This study suggests that a 1-hour postoperative PTH level at 13.4 ng/L can identify those individuals at risk for developing symptomatic hypocalcemia. Therefore，we recommend early calcium supplementation for these patients to decrease their postoperative morbidity from symptomatic hypocalcemia.
Objective To evaluate the impact of total thyroidectomy on health-related quality of life （HRQOL） in patients with nodular goiter. Methods The patients who underwent total thyroidectomy from Jan. 2009 to Dec. 2011 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed with regard to the quality of life （total thyroidectomy group）. The patients with similar demographic features who underwent hemithyroidectomy during the same period were matched as control （hemi-thyroidectomy group）. The validated HRQOL instrument， which was the Euro quality of life-5D （EQ-5D）， was applied to measure the HRQOL. Comparison of HRQOL in patients of 2 groups was performed， meanwhile， the data of total thyroidectomy group was compared with data of normal population who were obtained from The Forth National Health Survey. Results There were 26 and 28 valid questionnaires returned for the total thyroidectomy group and hemithyroi-dectomy group respectively. The demographic features of patients in 2 groups were comparable. No significant variancecould be found between the 2 groups that there were no significant differences on the mobility， self-care， usual activities，pain/discomfort， anxiety/depression， and visual analogous scales （P＞0.05）. Furthermore， no significant differences in HRQOL were found in EQ-5D questionnaire compared with normal population derived from The Forth National Health Survey （P＞0.05）， except that there were more patients complained of moderate and severe pain/discomfort in the total thyroidectomy group 〔30.8% （8/26） vs.9.2% （16 330/177 501）， P＜0.01〕. Conclusion Total thyroidectomy appears to have little impact on the quality of life in the patients with nodular goiter.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy, safety and economical values of nucleic acid/nueleotides for clinical nutritional support and immune treatment. Methods The following electronic databases were searched: Chinese Biomedicine database (CBM), MEDLINE, EMBASE and SCI. Data were extracted by two reviewers. Applied RevMan 4.1 for statistical analyse. Results Forty-six randomized controlled trials were identified, involving nucleic acids/nucleotides for clinical nutritional support, infant feed, immune treatment. Eighteen randomized trials comparing the use of immunonutrition which comprises nucleotides with standard enteral nutrition in surgical and critical ill patients. Combined analysis directed that immunonutrition therapy decrease infection events, length of hospitalization and the cost. Only one trial reported the effects of adding nucleotides to breast milk substitute, but there is no valuable results for clinical practice. Twenty-seven low quality trials compared the use of "immune RNA (iRNA)" with standard methods in hepatitis, carcinoma and burn patients, combined analysis directed that there are not valid evidences to confirm the value of iRNA. Conclusions Immunonutrition may decrease infection rates, length of hospitalisation and cost in surgery and critical ill patients, but we can not affirm the role of the nucleotides in irmnunonutrition. No evidences support the point of adding nucteotides in breast milk substitute. Also, we can not affirm the role of iRNA in clinical immune regulation treatment. There are no available evidences in nucleic acids for caducity prevention and improvement of aging people’s health. Consequently, we advice Chinese health officials to enhance the management for applying "nucleic acids nutrients".

The mean numbers of harvested lymph node were 14.57±3.11. The mean time of gastrointestinal function recovery was (3.46±0.93) d, the mean out of bed activity time was (1.75±0.45) d. All patients were followed up for 1-24 months, mean 11 months. No local recurrence, trocar implant or distant metastasis happened. Conclusion Laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy is a feasible and safe surgical procedure combined with minimal trauma and fast recovery.
目的 比较外固定支架与锁定加压钢板（LCP）治疗桡骨远端die-punch骨折的疗效及适应证。 方法 2007年1月－2011年1月，分别采用外固定支架和LCP治疗桡骨远端die-punch骨折32例36侧，其中LCP固定19侧，外固定支架固定17侧。两组患者性别、年龄、致伤原因、骨折分类、伤后至入院时间等一般资料比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。术中对塌陷的关节面均采取撬拨植骨的方法恢复桡腕关节，克氏针固定较大骨折块。比较两种方法手术前后掌倾角、尺偏角、桡腕关节面恢复情况、骨折愈合时间，术后腕关节活动范围等。 结果 两组患者手术切口均Ⅰ期愈合，无感染发生。患者术后均获随访，随访时间6～24个月，平均13个月。所有患者骨折愈合良好，愈合时间、术后6个月X线片掌倾角、尺偏角两组间差异均无统计学意义（P＞0.05）；术后6个月腕关节尺偏活动度分别为（20.8 ± 3.6）°和（18.0 ± 2.8）°，LCP组优于外固定支架组（P＜0.05）；LCP组和外固定支架组桡骨高度分别为（10.9 ± 2.8）mm和（13.4 ± 2.3）mm，Gartland-Werley评分分别为（5.3 ± 2.4）分和（8.4 ± 3.6）分，两组差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。 结论 对于桡骨远端die-punch骨折，LCP可提供有效固定及早期活动，但对于关节面的塌陷及桡骨高度的恢复，外固定支架固定可提供良好的支撑作用。对于严重die-punch骨折可联合运用LCP和外固定支架等技术。
Objective To investigate the effect of caveolion-1 on the growth and proliferation in human breastcancer MCF7 cell in vitro and in vivo and approach its mechanisms. Methods The plasmid pCI-neo-cav-1 and its corres-ponding empty vector （pCI-neo） were transfected into MCF7 cell line. The expressions of caveolin-1 and vascular endoth-elial growth factor （VEGF） in transfectants were subsequently confirmed by Western blot analysis. A pair of monoclonal cell lines， MCF7/cav-1 and MCF7/vec， were chose for future studies. The colony formation ability of tumor cells was detected by anchorage-independent growth assay. Xenograft tumor models in nude mice were established. Immunohisto-chemistry was used to characterize Ki-67 and VEGF levels in the tumors tissues. Results Caveolin-1 expression was up-regulated in the MCF7/cav-1 cell as compared with the MCF7/vec cell （P＜0.01） and the MCF7 cell （P＜0.01）. Caveolin-1 overexpression markedly reduced the capacity of the cells to form colonies in soft agar （P＜0.01）. Compared with the MCF7/vec cell， VEGF protein expression reduced in the MCF7/cav-1 cell （P＜0.01）. In vivo experiments in nude mice， the overexpression of caveolin-1 resulted in significant growth inhibition of the xenograft breast tumors. The Ki-67 staining was weak and the VEGF staining was negative by immunohistochemistry that indicated the caveolin-1 inhibited the proliferation in human breast cancer MCF7 cell. Conclusion The caveolin-1 might inhibit the growth and proliferation in human breast cancer MCF7 cell through suppressing activation of VEGF signaling pathway.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of functional perforator flaps utilizing the superficial circumflex iliac artery as a vascular pedicle, as well as chimeric iliac bone flaps, in the reconstruction of composite tissue defects in the hand and foot. Methods A retrospective review of the clinical data from 13 patients suffering from severe hand or foot injuries, treated between May 2019 and January 2025, was conducted. The cohort comprised 8 males and 5 females, with ages ranging from 31 to 67 years (mean, 48.5 years). The injuries caused by mechanical crush incidents (n=9) and traffic accidents (n=4). The distribution of injury sites included 8 cases involving the hand and 5 cases involving the foot. Preoperatively, all patients exhibited bone defects ranging from 2.0 to 6.5 cm and soft tissue defects ranging from 10 to 210 cm2. Reconstruction was performed using functional perforator flaps based on the superficial circumflex iliac artery and chimeric iliac bone flaps. The size of iliac bone flaps ranged from 2.5 cm×1.0 cm×1.0 cm to 7.0 cm×2.0 cm×1.5 cm, while the size of the soft tissue flaps ranged from 4 cm×3 cm to 15 cm×8 cm. In 1 case with a significant hand defect, a posterior interosseous artery perforator flap measuring 10.0 cm×4.5 cm was utilized as an adjunct. Likewise, an anterolateral thigh perforator flap measuring 25 cm×7 cm was combined in 1 case involving a foot defect. All donor sites were primarily closed. Postoperative flap survival was monitored, and bone healing was evaluated through imaging examination. Functional outcomes were assessed based on the location of the defects: for hand injuries, grip strength, pinch strength, and flap two-point discrimination were measured; for foot injuries, the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Maryland Foot Score, plantar pressure distribution and gait symmetry index (GSI) were evaluated. Results All flaps survived completely, with primary healing observed at both donor and recipient sites. All patients were followed up 6-18 months (mean, 12.2 months). No significant flap swelling or deformity was observed. Imaging examination showed a bone callus crossing rate of 92.3% (12/13) at 3 months after operation, and bone density recovered to more than 80% of the healthy side at 6 months. The time required for bone flap integration ranged from 2 to 6 months (mean, 3.2 months). One patient with a foot injury exhibited hypertrophic scarring at the donor site; however, no major complication, such as infection or bone nonunion, was noted. At 6 months after operation, grip strength in 8 patients involving the hand recovered to 75%-90% of the healthy side (mean, 83.2%), while pinch strength recovered to 70%-85% (mean, 80%). Flap two-point discrimination ranged from 8 to 12 mm, approaching the sensory capacity of the healthy side (5-8 mm). Among the 5 patients involving the foot, the AOFAS score at 8 months was 80.5±7.3, VAS score was 5.2±1.6. According to the Maryland Foot Score, 2 cases were rated as excellent and 3 as good. Gait analysis at 6 months after operation showed GSI above 90%, with plantar pressure distribution closely resembling that of the contralateral foot. Conclusion The use of functional perforator flaps based on the superficial circumflex iliac artery, combined with chimeric iliac bone flaps, provides a reliable vascular supply and effective functional restoration for the simultaneous repair of composite bone and soft tissue defects in the hand or foot. This technique represents a viable and effective reconstructive option for composite tissue defects in these anatomical regions.
