Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) responds for the majority of death of thyroid carcinoma and often causes chemotherapy resistance. We investigated the influence of circEIF6 (Hsa_circ_0060060) on the cisplatin-sensitivity in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and ATC cells, and explored its regulation to downstream molecules miR-144-3p and Transforming Growth Factor α (TGF-α). Differentially expressed circRNAs in PTC were analyzed using the GSE93522 data downloaded. Read More

It is well known that post-infarction papillary muscle rupture of the anterolateral papillary muscle is less frequent than that of the posteromedial papillary muscle. This is thought to be due to a difference in blood supply (single vs dual) of the papillary muscles. Recently, we had two cases in which occlusion of the diagonal branch of the left anterior descending artery was found to be the culprit lesion of acute myocardial infarction leading to complete rupture of the anterolateral papillary muscle.

Recently, FNA thyroglobulin (TG) washout measurement has been proposed as an adjunct in the management of these patients. We hypothesize that using FNA-TG washout for suspicious cervical LNs would increase the accuracy of diagnosing metastatic disease especially in cystic and highly vascular cervical LN in patients with recurrent PTC.
