Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2017;41(6):494-495
[Objective] To summarize treatment ideas for subclinical thyroid inflammation by Professor WU Xuesu.[Methods] By learning from Professor WU Xuesu, studying relevant literature cases;collecting and reporting the case of her clinical characteristics for the treatment of subclinical thyroid inflammation, analyzed and summarized treatment experience. [Results] It is argued that the root of subclinical thyroid inflammation is turbid-phlegm, nitrogen stasis cardiac knoting in the anterior portion, it should be treated by resolving phlegm mainly,and secondary promoting Qi activating blood. [Conclusion] The treatment ideas of Professor WU Xuesu for subclinical thyroid inflammation has a good curative effect.

Objectives To explore the effects and mechanism of acupuncture treatment in emergent of acute hypertension by studying the acupuncture treatment on acute hypertension rats. Method The acute hypertension rat model was made by injecting adrenalin into the abdomen. After probing specific points, NO, ET-1, angiotensin and rennin levels were tested. Results Acupunctured for 30 minutes, the experimental group's diastolic pressure dropped and NO level rose, and these changes were statistically significant regarding those of the medicine control group. After the acupuncture treatment, the rennin level of the medicine control group and the experimental group were statistically different with the control group, but no significant difference was found between the medicine control group and the experimental group. Conclusion Probing Quechi, Taichong, Sanyinjiao and Neiguan may lead to the improved performance of the vessel endoderm, the rise of NO level and the decrease of angiotensin content, and consequently reduce the blood pressure of acute hypertension rats.

Objective To screen and analyze the influencing factors of severity in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicating cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).Methods A total of 519 pa-tients with T2DM complicating CSVD admitted and treated in Nanjing Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chi-nese Medicine from June 2018 to May 2023 were selected and divided into the mild group (n=214) and the se-vere group (n=305) according to the CSVD imageological score.The relevant demographic,laboratory and imageological indicators were collected.The influencing factors of T2DM complicating CSVD were screened out by the LASSO and Logistic regression analysis and the predictive model was established.The receiver op-erating characteristic (ROC) curve,goodness of fit evaluation and restricted cubic spline (RCS) fitting curve were drawn to analyze the dose-response relationship between Cys C,albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio with the disease severity.Results The male proportion and age in the severe group were greater than those in the mild group,neutrophil,systemic immune-inflammation index (SII),creatinine (Crea),uric acid (UA),Urea (Ure-a),D-dimer (D-D),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),adenosine deaminase (ADA),globulin (GLB) and Cys C were higher than those in the mild group,lymphocyte,ALT,High density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C),serum cholinesterase (CHE),prealbumin (PAB),and A/G were lower than those in the mild group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).LASSO and logistic regression analysis showed that the gender,age,A/G and Cys C were the independent influencing factors in the patients with T2DM complicating CSVD.The area under the curve (AUC) of this model was 0.658 (95%CI:0.610-0.706) with goodness of fit (P=0.520).The RCS fitting curves showed that serum Cys C≥0.618 mg/L had a linear relationship with CSVD imageological score (P=0.035),and A/G≥1.268 had a nonlinear relationship with CSVD imageologi-cal score (P=0.007).Conclusion The advanced age,male,increased Cys C level and decreased A/G in the pa-tients with T2DM complicating CSVD are the independent risk factors for the severity of whole brain damage.

Objective To screen the characteristic factors of renal impairment occurrence in the patients with hyperuricemia,and to analyze its diagnostic value and establish a diagnostic model.Methods A total of 2405 inpatients with diagnosed hyperuricemia in the Nanjing Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medi-cine,Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2018 to December 2022 were selected and divided into the kidney lesion group (n=1343) and the non-kidney lesion group (n=1062) according to eGFR.The characteristic factors of hyperuricemia caused renal impairment were screened and analyzed by Lasso and logistic regression and the diagnostic model was constructed.The diagnostic value of characteristic factors and diagnostic model were evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve,and the change rule between the characteristic factors and the results was found by the restricted cubic splines (RCS) fitting.Results The age,uric acid (UA),cystatin-C (Cys-C) and retinol-binding protein (RBP) were the characteristic factors of hyperuricemia caused renal impairment.The combined diagnostic model:logit (P)=-8.70+0.602×age (10 years old)+0.033×UA (10 μmol/L)+0.277×Cys-C (0.1 mg/L)+0.189×RBP (10 mg/L),the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the combined diagnosis model was 0.893 (95%CI:0.880-0.905).For every 10 μmol/L increase in blood UA,the risk of renal impairment occurrence in hyperurice-mia was increased by 3%;for every 10 years increase in age,the risk of renal impairment occurrence in hyperu-ricemia was increased by 83%;for every 10 mg/L increase in RBP,the risk of kidney damage occurrence of re-nal impairment in hyperuricemia was increased by 21%;for every 0.1 mg/L increase in Cys-C,the risk of re-nal impairment occurrence in hyperuricemia was increased by 32%.Conclusion The combined diagnostic model for whether the renal impairment in the patients with hyperuricemia occurring has good diagnostic val-ue,and Cys-C deserves more attention.
