目的 探讨暴露喉返神经的甲状腺手术后患者发生声音嘶哑的原因。方法 选取于2019年1月—2020年12月间在我院接受甲状腺手术且在术中暴露喉返神经的患者,对出现术后声音嘶哑的19例患者进行为期12个月的临床随访,观察研究对象术后声音嘶哑的发生特点、持续时间并进行直接喉镜及颈部超声检查。结果 发生声音嘶哑的19例患者中,5例存在术中喉返神经损伤情况,其余14例患者术中喉返神经暴露及保护良好。直接喉镜检查示,该14例患者中,4例存在声带充血水肿现象,1例发生勺状软骨半脱位。术后1周左右的超声检查显示,该14例患者中有11例存在不同程度的创腔内积液。结论 虽常规暴露喉返神经减少了术后声嘶的发生率,但术中喉返神经损伤仍然是造成患者术后声嘶的原因之一。此外,术后创腔积液、麻醉插管导致的声带损伤及其他插管相关并发症等非直接手术因素也是造成这些患者术后声嘶的重要原因,应引起临床重视。
Objective To explore the cause of hoarseness of voice in patients after thyroidectomy with recurrent laryngeal nerve exposure. Methods The patients from January 2019 to December 2020 underwent thyroidectomy with exposure of recurrent laryngeal nerve during operation were selected. There were 19 cases of hoarseness of voice after operation followed up for 12 months. Postoperative observations included the characteristics of the hoarseness of voice, duration, and direct laryngoscope neck ultrasonography. Results A total of 19 patients had voice hoarseness, only 5 of them had recurrent laryngeal nerve injury during operation, the other 14 patients had good exposure and protection of recurrent laryngeal nerve. Direct laryngoscope showed that 4 of 14 patients had vocal cord edema and 1 had subluxation of arytenoid cartilage. About 1 week after operation, ultrasound examination showed that 11 of 14 patients had varying degrees hydrops of wound cavity. Conclusions Although the routine exposure of recurrent laryngeal nerve reduces the incidence of postoperative hoarseness of voice, the injury of recurrent laryngeal nerve is still a cause of postoperative hoarseness of voice. In addition, non-operative direct factors, such as fluid accumulation in the operative field, vocal cord injury caused by anesthetic intubation and other intubation related complications, are also important reasons for postoperative hoarseness of voice in these patients, which we should pay more attention to.

Objectives To investigate the influence of thyroid function and related factors on blood lipid levels in patients with papillary thyroid cancer under short-term severe hypothyroidism. Methods Sixty-one patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma diagnosed by pathology were included. The data of thyroid function and blood lipid levels of all patients before operation and iodine treatment were collected. The effects of gender, age, operation mode, lymph node metastasis and other related factors on blood lipid were compared. Results Before iodine treatment, all blood lipid indexes were higher than the baseline level before operation. The levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein A1 (APO-A1), apolipoprotein B (APO-B), lipoproteins (LP) in the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)>60 mIU/L group were significantly higher than those in the TSH≤60 mIU/L group.Triglyceride (TG) and arteriosclerosis index (AI) levels were significantly lower in female patients compared with male patients, HDL-C and APO-A1 levels were lower in male patients compared with female patients, and TC levels were higher in patients aged>45 compared with those aged≤45, with significant differences (all P<0.05). No significant differences were observed in lipid levels among the different surgical procedures and lymph node metastasis subgroups (P>0.05). TC levels were negatively correlated with free triiodothyronines (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroxine (T4) levels (r=-0.342,-0.370,-0.340,respectively). HDL-C, LDL-C, and APO-B levels were negatively correlated with T4 levels (r=-0.294, -0.354, -0.324,respectively), APO-A1 levels were negatively correlated with FT4, triiodothyronine (T3), T4 levels (r=-0.306,-0.262,-0.263,respectively), and LP levels were negatively correlated with T3 and T4 levels (r=-0.268,-0.313, respectively). Conclusions Short term hypothyroidism before iodine treatment for papillary thyroid cancer could lead to the increase of full set of blood lipid indexes, male patients and middle-aged and elderly patients could also be accompanied by higher blood lipid levels.
