Objective: This study aims to determine whether carbon nanoparticles (CN) can improve the dissection of lymph nodes and aid in the identification and protection of the parathyroid glands (PGs) during thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Methods: PTC patients who underwent total thyroidectomy with ipsilateral or bilateral central lymph...
Article
Most of unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) metastasize to ipsilateral paratracheal lymph nodes (LNs) while some had contralateral paratracheal LN involved. The aim of this study was to analyze the predictive factors of contralateral paratracheal LN metastasis in unilateral PTC. Data on 332 patients with unilateral PTC who underwent total/...

Mutations in the V-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 gene (BRAF) play an important role in the pathogenesis of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). In this study, a BRAF V600E mutation was detected in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded PTC samples using multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction and denaturing high-performance liqu...

... The surgical procedures were the same as those described by Su et al. 21 Two professional thyroid surgeons (Wu J and Yao X) performed all procedures. Every parathyroid gland and its' blood supply were attempted to identify and preserve during surgery. ...
... This has led many surgeons to search for clinicopathological features which may serve as independent predictors for contralateral central lymph node metastasis (cCLNM). As shown in earlier studies, the occurrence of cCLNM in unilateral PTC may be linked to male sex, young age (<45 years), multifocality, location of the primary tumor (in the inferior region of the thyroid or not), tumor diameter >1 cm, capsular invasion, and ipsilateral (i)CLNM (3,(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). However, the risk factors of cCLNM in unilateral PTC patients with LLNM is still need to clarify. ...
... [4,5] In attempting to meet these objectives, methods with significantly increased sensitivities and specificities have been developed, including allele-specific PCR. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Although allele-specific PCR and ASMS both use allelespecific primers, they are two quite different methods. In allele-specific PCR, allele-specific primers are used in the amplification step. ...
