65, 95% confidence interval 1.00-7.00). However, a suspected association between pericardial effusion and mutation status was found to be confounded by age. While a high rate of recurrence was observed when pericardiocentesis was initially performed (9/17, 53%), no recurrence was documented when pericardial window procedure was performed (total of 17 patients).

Patients with EGFR/ALK mutations may be at higher risk for the development of pericardial effusion; therefore, attending physicians need to be aware and have a high index of clinical suspicion.

There is no effective treatment for ATC yet. Molecular targeted therapy provides a new idea for ATC treatment. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor lenvatinib has potential in treating ATC patients with favorable efficacy in clinical trials. The effectiveness of the v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homologue B1 () gene inhibitor dabrafenib in combination with trametinib for the treatment of positive ATC patients has been demonstrated in clinical trials. The has proposed dabrafenib in combination with trametinib as the preferred modality for the treatment of patients with positive ATC. The immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab can be applied to treat thyroid cancer with high tumor mutational load and may be considered as the preferred modality for the treatment of ATC patients with high programmed death ligand-1 expression. The mammalian target of rapamycin pathway inhibitors, peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ agonists, endothelial growth factor receptors-targeting monoclonal antibody cetuximab and novel vascular blocker fosbretabulin are still in the clinical research stage, which are expected to provide new directions for the development of novel targeted drugs. This article reviews the current research progress on targeted drugs for the treatment of ATC.A child with methylmalonic acidemia and homocysteinemia cblX type presented focal seizures and epileptic spasms in early infancy, but the tandem mass spectrometry tests showed negative results during neonatal screening or acute attack. Despite treated with a variety of antiepileptic drugs, the child died at age of The blood spot sample of the patient was retrospectively tested with ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and the increased levels of methylmalonic acid and homocysteine were revealed. Whole exome sequencing showed that the proband had a c.202C>G(p.Q68E) hemizygous mutation in gene, which was inherited from his mother.To establish a risk probability model for residual metastatic lymph nodes in patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) after cervical central lymph node dissection (CLND). The clinical data of patients with PTMC treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from 2007 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent thyroidectomy with CLND, and at least one lymph node was examined. Based on the distribution characteristics of metastatic lymph nodes from this retrospective cohort, a probabilistic model for the risk of residual metastatic lymph node was established. β-Binomial distribution was used to estimate the probability of residual metastatic lymph node as a function of the number of lymph nodes examined. Among 5399 patients included in the probabilistic model, central lymph node metastases were observed in 1664 cases (30.8%). After model correction, the real lymph node metastasis rate increased from 30.8% to 38.9%. The probability of false negative of central lymph node was estimated to be 31.3% for patients with a single node examined, while decreased to 10.0% and 4.9% when 7 and 12 nodes were examined, respectively. In the sensitivity analysis limited to patients with or without Hashimoto thyroiditis, the performance of probability model was also satisfactory. The established risk probability model in this study quantifies the risk of residual metastatic lymph nodes after CLND in patients with PTMC, which can be used as complementary indicators for the risk of recurrence/persistence disease at postoperative evaluation. The study also provides a new method to evaluate the impact of residual metastatic lymph nodes on the prognosis of tumor patients through retrospective data.The thyroid surgery with lateral cervical incision uses the sternocleidomastoid intermuscular approach through the gap between band muscles and carotid sheath to reach the surgical field. The recurrent laryngeal nerve and upper and lower parathyroid glands are first identified, the upper pole vessels are severed; then the Berry ligament is separated; the isthmus is severed, and the thyroid gland is finally removed. This approach can avoid the trauma of the skin and muscle tissue in the anterior neck region, to relieve the pressure on the neck and swallowing stretch feeling for patients after surgery. The surgical modality is effective and less time-consuming. This article gives a detailed introduction to the standardized procedures and some key points of thyroid surgery with lateral cervical incision.To investigate the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6)/β-catenin pathway related proteins in adipose tissue of rats with intrauterine growth restriction with catch-up growth SD rats were randomly divided into nutrition-restriction rats and normal feed rats during pregnancy. CG-IUGR model was established by reducing the number of offspring in the nutrition-restriction rats (CG-IUGR group); while the rats in the control group were offspring of the normal feed pregnant rats. In order to exclude the interference of gender, male offspring mice were selected in both the CG-IUGR group and the control group in the following studies. The CG-IUGR group and the control group were subjected to glucose tolerance test at 12 weeks of age, and the perirenal adipose tissue samples were taken to observe the adipose structure by HE staining. Expression of LRP6, β-catenin and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) in adipocytes were examined by confocal microscopy. Etomoxir Protein expression of LRP6, β-catenin and IRS-1 were measured by Western blotting. Blood glucose level and the area under the cure of CG-IUGR group were significantly higher than that of control group (both less then 0.05). Adipocyte size in the CG-IUGR group was significantly larger than that of control group, and the expression of LRP6, β-catenin and IRS-1 protein in adipose tissue of the CG-IUGR group was significantly lower than that of control group (all less then 0.05). The expression of LRP6/β-catenin pathway related proteins is reduced in the adipose tissue in CG-IUGR rats, probably contributing to the insulin resistance in these rats. To investigate risk factors of lateral cervical lymph node metastasis (LLNM) in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Published studies regarding clinicopathological factors of LLNM in MTC were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane library, Wanfang date and CNKI. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 14.0 software. The mean and standard deviation from the sample size, range, median, and interquartile range was estimated. Odds ratio () or standard mean difference () with 95% confidence interval () of related factors were analyzed by fixed/random-effects models. Egger's test and Begg's test were applied to assess the publication bias of the literature. This study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021254955). Fifteen studies involving 1424 patients were included in the analysis, among whom 543 cases had LLNM (38.13%). Meta-analysis revealed that an increased risk of LLNM was associated with male gender (1.64, 95% 1.29-2.09, 4.06, 0.01), tumor diameter≥1cm (5.09, 95% 2.43-10ssection is recommended.To evaluate the application of endoscopic thyroidectomy using gasless axillary approach (ET-GA) for low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Patients with T1N0M0 Ⅰ PTC undergoing unilateral thyroid lobectomy with central neck dissection in Taizhou Cancer Hospital during January 2019 to June 2021 were enrolled in the study, including 35 cases treated with ET-GA (ET-GA group) and 35 cases treated with conventional open thyroidectomy (COT group). The surgical treatment effect, cosmetic effect and the effect on neck function were compared between two groups. Neck function was evaluated by neck pain score, neck injury index and dysphagia index. Cosmetic effect was evaluated by cosmetic effect satisfaction score. In the ET-GA group, all unilateral thyroid lobectomy with central neck dissection were successfully completed, and no case was converted to open surgery. The number of central lymph nodes dissected in the ET-GA was not statistically different from that in the COT group (>0.05), but the operation time was longer than that of the COT group (0.05). The cosmetic effect satisfaction score of ET-GA group was higher than that in the COT group at postoperatively (4.3±0.6 vs.1.0, less then 0.01). ET-GA has the same efficacy and safety as conventional open thyroidectomy in the treatment of low-risk PTC, and it improves the satisfaction of postoperative cosmetics.Primary Sjögren syndrome is an autoimmune disease, in which a large number of lymphocytes infiltrate the exocrine glands and cause gland dysfunction. Its pathogenesis is related to the chronic inflammation of the exocrine glands caused by genetic factors, immunodeficiency or viral infection. Long-term inflammation leads to accelerated apoptosis of epithelial cells, disordered gland structure, increased expression of proinflammatory cytokine such as CXC subfamily ligand (CXCL) 12, CXCL13, B cell-activating factor (BAF), interleukin (IL)-6, interferon (IFN)-γ and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in submandibular gland. With the action of antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages, lymphocytes (mainly B cells) are induced to mature in secondary lymphoid organs and migrate to the submandibular gland to promotes the formation of germinal centers and the synthesis of autoantibodies. Meanwhile, innate lymphocytes, vascular endothelial cells and mucosa-associated constant T cells as important immune cells, also participated in the inflammatory response of the submandibular gland in primary Sjögren syndrome through different mechanisms. This process involves the activation of multiple signal pathways such as JAK/STAT, MAPK/ERK, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, PD-1/PD-L1, TLR/MyD88/NF-κB, BAF/BAF-R and IFN. These signaling pathways interact with each other and are intricately complex, causing lymphocytes to continuously activate and invade the submandibular glands. This article reviews the latest literature to clarify the mechanism of submandibular gland inflammation in primary Sjögren syndrome, and to provide insights for further research.As a novel genetic marker, microhaplotype can be applied in the field of forensic genetics. Microhaplotype has the advantages of high polymorphism, low mutation rate, no stutter products and short amplification fragments. Microhaplotype can effectively detect mixture, and quantitatively analyze the contributors of mixture. DNA with severe fragmentation can be successfully genotyped by microhaplotype. It can be used as ancestry informative marker to effectively divide the global continental population according to genetic structure. Microhaplotype system can provide more information than traditional short tandem repeat and help to identify complex relationships. It can provide new ideas for tumor source identification, cell line identification and prenatal paternity testing. Here we review the applications of microhaplotype, intending to provide references for forensic practice.
