Objective:
The goal of this study was to clarify the changes and clinical significance of thromboelastography (TEG) parameters in papillary thyroid carcinomas and nodular goiters.
Methods:
62 nodular goiter (NG) patients and 53 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients were included. Coagulation indicators, together with a series of TEG parameters were collected and analyzed, compared with results of 61 healthy controls (HC). Correlation analysis was conducted between routine coagulation indicators and TEG parameters. ROC curves were used to evaluate the potential diagnosis value of the TEG parameters that were altered in papillary thyroid carcinoma patients.
Results:
APTT and PT in papillary thyroid carcinoma group were statistically significant higher than that in control group (p<0.05). MPV was found to be higher in PTC than NG and healthy controls.R, K and SP levels were significantly lower in PTC group than that in HC group; Angle, CI and TPI levels were significantly higher in PTC group than that in HC group. Areas under the ROC curve of CI, TPI, and angle were 0.725, 0.714, and 0.687 for distinguishing PTC from HC, 0.662, 0.668 and 0.591 for distinguishing PTC from NG.
Conclusion:
TEG parameters are altered and indicate hypercoagulablilty status of papillary thyroid carcinoma patients; CI, TPI, and angle could be potential diagnosis indicators for detecting papillary thyroid carcinoma.

01:11Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
