铜绿假单胞菌注射液治疗甲状腺乳头状癌颈侧区淋巴结清扫术后淋巴漏的临床观察

背景与目的 淋巴漏为颈部淋巴结清扫术后常见并发症,传统治疗方法作用相对有限,而铜绿假单胞菌注射液处理创面可较好促进局部炎症反应以闭合漏点,因此本研究分析铜绿假单胞菌注射液对甲状腺乳头状癌（PTC）颈侧区淋巴结清扫术后淋巴漏患者引流量的影响及安全性,以明确铜绿假单胞菌注射液的应用价值。方法 回顾性分析2019年1月—2020年1月郑州大学第一附属医院甲状腺外科行颈侧区淋巴结清扫术后出现淋巴漏的69例PTC患者资料,依据淋巴漏治疗方式不同将其分为对照组（37例,术中常规双侧留置负压引流）、观察组（32例,在对照组治疗的基础上,术后第4、6天,通过引流管注入2支铜绿假单胞菌注射液）,比较两组术后引流量、体温变化,记录其引流时间及不良反应发生率。结果 两组术后第1、2、3天引流量比较差异无统计学意义（均P>0.05）,观察组术后第4、5、6天引流量低于对照组［（310.79±32.16）mL vs.（338.64±34.55）mL、（157.82±16.43）mL vs.（325.43±33.96）mL、（87.34±8.59）mL vs.（333.68±34.59）mL,均P<0.05］;观察组术后第6、7 天体温高于对照组［（37.78±3.77）℃ vs.（35.96±3.60）℃、（37.65±3.72）℃ vs.（35.79±3.68）℃,均P<0.05］,其他时点两组体温差异均无统计学意义（均P>0.05）;观察组引流时间明显短于对照组［（6.17±0.63）d vs.（7.28±0.75）d,P<0.01］;观察组部分患者术后2周内出现局部发热、寒战不良反应,予以物理降温后均恢复正常,观察组术后不良反应发生率高与对照组（12.50% vs. 8.11%）,但差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。结论 铜绿假单胞菌注射液治疗PTC患者颈侧区淋巴结清扫术后淋巴漏患者临床效果较好,可降低引流量,缩短引流时间,部分患者可能有体温升高、发热等现象,经对症处理后均可缓解,不影响治疗。     

Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue,which one induced thyroid dysfunction in patients with morbid obesity

BackgroundThyroid dysfunction in patients with morbid obesity usually resolves after bariatric surgery. However, the role of diverse types of adipose tissue in the process remains unknown.ObjectivesWe aim to investigate the effects of visceral and subcutaneous fat on thyroid function in a Chinese population with morbid obesity who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG).SettingUniversity hospital, Shanghai, ChinaMethodsRepeated measurement data of thyroid hormone and body fat were collected at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after sleeve gastrectomy. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometer and quantitative computerized tomography (CT) were used to compute visceral fat and subcutaneous fat. Repeated measures correlation (rmmcorr) package was employed for correlation analysis with generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) determining the independent factors.ResultsThyroid stimulating-hormone (TSH) showed notable decrease at 36 months after surgery, coupled with reduction of BMI (38.08 kg/cm² versus 24.28 kg/cm²), C-reactive protein (CRP), visceral adipose tissue (786.74 cm² versus 367.44 cm²), body fat rate, and waistline (118.13 cm versus 100.87 cm). Only visceral fat, diabetes, and CRP proved to be independent variables for TSH decline, without correlation with subcutaneous fat.ConclusionThe present study is first to report the effects of different types of body fat on thyroid function in a Chinese population with morbid obesity, revealing that loss of visceral fat is the key to improving endocrine and metabolic activity after bariatric surgery.     

Selected Topics in the Pathology of the Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands in Children and Adolescents

The goals of this chapter in keeping with the overall general themes of this special edition will be (1) to highlight aspects of development of the thyroid and parathyroid glands with particular focus on the role and contribution of the neural crest (or not) and how this may impact on the pathology that is seen, (2) to emphasize those lesions particularly more commonly arising in the pediatric population that actually generate specimens that the surgical pathologist would encounter, and (3) highlight more in depth specific lesions associated with heritable syndromes or specific gene mutations since the heritable syndromes tends to manifest in the pediatric age group. In this light, the other interesting areas of pediatric thyroid disease including medical thyroid diseases, congenital hypothyroidism, anatomic variants and aberrations of development that lead to structural anomalies will not be emphasized here.     

Recurrence of thyroid carcinoma in cervical soft tissue following surgical implantation: Case report

IntroductionThyroid cancer is the most common type of malignant endocrine cancer. Differentiated thyroid cancer, which includes papillary and follicular cancers, represents majority (90%) of all thyroid cancers and has a favorable prognosis.However, a minority of patients develops loco-regional recurrence.Case reportWe report here a rare case of a 63 years-old man who underwent total thyroidectomy in 2015 for multinodular goiter whose histopathological examination revealed a papillary thyroid carcinoma. He received 6 weeks later a 100 mCi of radioactive iodine therapy. In 2017, he was admitted for multiple cervical lymph nodes with high serum thyroglobulin level (234 ng/mL) which required a bilateral central and lateral neck dissection. He was readmitted in 2019 for multiple subcutaneous neck nodules with high serum thyroglobulin level (197 ng/mL). The histopathological examination of the excised nodules revealed a papillary thyroid carcinoma. The patient showed no sign of recurrence after 2 years follow-up.ConclusionLocal soft tissue recurrence followed surgical implantation should be suspected when nodules are determined alongside the thyroid after previous thyroid surgery. Therapy for these soft tissue implants may be difficult; a comprehensive long-term postoperative evaluation should be completed to minimize the risk of recurrence in cervical soft tissue.     

妊娠期甲减患者孕晚期鸢尾素水平与机体代谢指标及母婴妊娠结局的相关性分析

The superior laryngeal nerve loop and its surgical implications

Summary Based upon findings from 60 cadavers (120 sides), the incidence of superior laryngeal nerve loop, connecting the cervical sympathetic chain and the superior laryngeal nerve and its branches, the external and internal laryngeal nerve, was 98.3% (118 out of 120 sides). In most cases the loop connected the sympathetic chain and the external laryngeal nerve. The external laryngeal nerve was looped, and not linear as traditionally thought. The loop could be divided into three categories, V-shaped, U-shaped and mixed, and subdivided into 5 types and 17 subtypes according to morphological variation. The loop without exception innervated not only the cricothyroid muscle, but also the thyroid gland. The loop is one of the origins of the thyroid nerve. It seems that for thyroid surgery the loop, when lower in position, should be carefully separated from the superior thyroid vessels before the latter are ligated, in order to preserve a normal nerve supply to the muscle as well as to the part of the gland that remains after surgery.

L'anse du nerf larynge supérieur, étude anatomique et applications chirurgicales

Résumé La fréquence d'une anse du nerf laryngé supérieur réalisant une anastomose entre la chaine sympathique cervicale et le nerf laryngé supérieur et/ou ses branches (rameau laryngé externe et ingerne), est de 98,3 % (118/120). Ce résultat s'appuie sur l'étude de 60 cadavres. Dans la plupart des cas, l'anastomose se fait entre la chaine sympathique cervicale et le rameau laryngé externe. Ce rameau laryngé externe a un trajet curviligne et non linéaire conformément aux données classiques. Il existe trois catégories d'anses : en "V", en "U" et mixte ; on peut également les subdiviser en 5 types et 17 sous-types en fonction des variations morphologiques. Cette anse innerve constamment non seulement le muscle cricothyroïdien mais aussi la glande thyroïde dont elle fournit une partie de l'innervation. Lors de la chirurgie thyroïdienne, si l'anse est en position basse, les nerfs doivent être soigneusement disséqués et séparés des vaisseaux thyroïdiens supérieurs avant ligature de ces derniers de façon à conserver l'innervation normale du muscle et de la partie restante de la glande.

     

Persistent Subcutaneous Nodules in Children Hyposensitized with Aluminium-Containing Allergen Extracts

A follow-up study of 202 children who had received hyposensitization with aluminium-containing allergens showed that 1-3 years after cessation of hyposensitization 13 children still had severely pruiginous treatment-resistant subcutaneous nodules in their forearms. Because of their long persistence the nodules of six children were studied in detail. Histologically, the nodules showed infiltration with lymphocytes (forming germinal centres), macrophages, plasma cells, mast cells and a few eosinophils. In five patients aluminium crystals were found scattered between the cells and, in addition, the phagosomes of the macrophages contained aluminium. Patch tests for aluminium were positive in four of the six patients. It is concluded that persisting nodules during hyposensitization with aluminium-containing allergens may indicate development of aluminium hypersensitivity, and if this is confirmed hyposensitization should be discontinued.     

Thyroid carcinoma mimicking a toxic adenoma

A young woman with a thyroid papillary carcinoma behaving as an autonomously hyperfunctioning nodule is described. Only 17 similar patients have been seen in the past 25 years. It is emphasized that hyperthyroidism does not exclude malignant disease in hot nodules. This possibility suggests that all thyroid nodules, either cold or hot, require careful management. Therefore, in at risk cases, surgery could be the most useful treatment.
