RESUMO
OBJECTIVE(S): Endoscopic thyroidectomy, such as axillary, areola and transoral approaches, offer the advantage of a good cosmetic outcome, but it requires a wider dissection field compared to open thyroidectomy. Recently, chest-collarbone approach thyroidectomy has been widely developed in China because of its shorter anatomical route compared to other endoscopic approaches. This study retrospectively evaluated endoscopic thyroidectomy via chest-collarbone approach in patients with thyroid nodules to determine its feasibility. METHODS: A total of 46 patients with thyroid disease who underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy between January 2022 and December 2022 were enrolled in the study and randomly matched to patients with thyroid disease who underwent open thyroidectomy at the same time based on nodule size and pathology. Postoperative bleeding, hoarseness situation, hospital stay, postoperative drainage volume, laryngeal nerve palsy, hypoparathyroidism and wound infection were assessed in both groups. RESULTS: Forty-four patients underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy successfully and two patients changed to open thyroidectomy. The amount of postoperative drainage for the endoscopic thyroidectomy group was 102.78⯱â¯28.04â¯mL, and which was 71.91⯱â¯19.20 for open thyroidectomy group (pâ¯<â¯0.001). The postoperative hospital stay for the endoscopic thyroidectomy group was 8.78⯱â¯2.57 days, and which was 7.22⯱â¯1.13 for open thyroidectomy group (pâ¯<â¯0.001). There was no significant difference in postoperative bleeding, hoarseness situation, and wound infection between the two groups. Laryngeal nerve palsy, supraclavicular nerve injury and hypoparathyroidism were not observed in any patient during this study. CONCLUSION: Chest-collarbone endoscopic thyroid surgery is acceptable. This treatment improves in a good cosmetic outcome in patients with thyroid disease. To assess patients with preoperative nodule size and nature of the case is the impact of the success rate, which is particularly important.

Background: Metformin (MET) is a first-line therapy for type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Liraglutide (LRG) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist used as a second-line therapy in combination with MET. Methods: We performed a longitudinal analysis comparing the gut microbiota of overweight and/or pre-diabetic participants (NCP group) with that of each following their progression to T2DM diagnosis (UNT group) using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing of fecal bacteria samples. We also examined the effects of MET (MET group) and MET plus LRG (MET+LRG group) on the gut microbiota of these participants following 60 days of anti-diabetic drug therapy in two parallel treatment arms. Results: In the UNT group, the relative abundances of Paraprevotella (P = 0.002) and Megamonas (P = 0.029) were greater, and that of Lachnospira (P = 0.003) was lower, compared with the NCP group. In the MET group, the relative abundance of Bacteroides (P = 0.039) was greater, and those of Paraprevotella (P = 0.018), Blautia (P = 0.001), and Faecalibacterium (P = 0.005) were lower, compared with the UNT group. In the MET+LRG group, the relative abundances of Blautia (P = 0.005) and Dialister (P = 0.045) were significantly lower than in the UNT group. The relative abundance of Megasphaera in the MET group was significantly greater than in the MET+LRG group (P = 0.041). Conclusions: Treatment with MET and MET+LRG results in significant alterations in gut microbiota, compared with the profiles of patients at the time of T2DM diagnosis. These alterations differed significantly between the MET and MET+LRG groups, which suggests that LRG exerted an additive effect on the composition of gut microbiota.(AU)
