ABSTRACT

Objective@#RET/PTC gene rearrangement can lead to aberrant activation of tyrosine kinase receptors, which is a common mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). This study focuses on the association of RET/PTC rearrangements with PTC clinical factors.@*Methods@#From January 2011 to December 2013, a total of 114 patients with PTC were enrolled in this study. Clinicopathological parameters, lifestyle, and thyroid hormone levels were collected. RET/PTC rearrangements were detected by TaqMan PCR and verified by Sanger sequencing.Data were analyzed with SPSS software, including chi-square test, Fisher′s exact test, Mann-Whitney U test, Student′s t-test, and Logistic regression.@*Results@#RET/PTC rearrangements were not found in all paracancerous normal thyroid tissues, and were detected in 23.68% (27/114) of PTC. Further analysis revealed no correlation between RET/PTC rearrangement and thyroid function, clinicopathologic parameters, and lifestyle in the total PTC group or in the subgroup of patients with concomitant diseases (including Hashimoto′s thyroiditis and nodular goiter). But in the subgroup of PTC without concomitant disease, RET/PTC rearrangement was associated with tumor multifocal (P=0.018), and RET/PTC-positive PTC patients had an increased risk of tumor multifocal (OR=5.57, 95% CI 1.39-22.33). It was also found that RET/PTC rearrangement was associated with an abnormal increase in TSH level of one month after surgery (P= 0.037).@*Conclusion@#Nodular goiter and Hashimoto ′s thyroiditis may be a confounding factor in PTC. RET/PTC rearrangement may play an important role in the occurrence of thyroid carcinoma multifocal after exclusion of this confounding factor.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical value of infrahyoid myocutaneous flap in the reconstruction of mouth floor tissue defects. MethodsInfrahyoid myocutaneous flap was made including stenohyoid,thyrohyoid,omohyoid and the affiliated skin based on the axis of superior thyroid artery,vein and ansa cervicalis. The clinical data of 11 patients with reconstruction of mouth floor tissue defects using infrahyoid myocutaneous flap (maximum area was 8 cm × 3 cm) from Match 1993 to June 2009 were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsSeven infrahyoid myocutaneous flaps which reserved platysma branch of superior thyroid artery were all alive, while 2 patients presented epidermal necrosis of 4 un-protected patients. The follow-up period was range from 24 months to 195 months, one patient received salvage surgery for local regional lymphatic recurrence in level Ⅰ,which survived without diseases until now.The rest cases had turned out a success.No dysphagia,dysphonia,and tongue extension difficulty was reported in any patient.ConclusionInfrahyoid myocutaneous flap is one of the valuable donor sites for the reconstruction of mouth floor tissue defects after radical oncologic operations,especially for those with early stage carcinoma of the mouth floor.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical characters, management and prognostic factors of patients with differentiated invasive thyroid carcinoma (DITC). Methods The data were analyzed retrospectively for 114 DITC patients treated at Department of Head and Neck Surgery of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method, comparison among/between groups was performed using log-rank test, and multivariate analysis was carried out using Cox proportional hazard model. Results After surgery, 68 patients were with tumor residue. The 5-year and 10-year overall survival rate were 91.9% and 80.1% respectively in all patients, while the 10-year overall survival rate were 88.5% 、78.5% and 53.1% in no tumor residue group, micro-residue group and grossresidue group respectively. This study failed to prove that radiotherapy might improve the survival rate in patients with postoperative tumor residue. Multivariate analysis indicated that age, invasion to esophagus and recurrence predict the prognosis. Conclusion DITC may be treated mainly by surgical operation. Radical resection is the key factor in the treatment of DITC. Patients with DITC have a relatively poor prognosis.Age, esophagus invasion and status of tumor residue are the most important factors affecting the prognosis.
