OBJECTIVE To study the correlation between the early postoperative symptom groups and quality of life in patients with thyroid cancer. METHODS From July 2023 to October 2023,patients after thyroid cancer at 1 to 3 days in Beijing and Shanxi Hospitals were selected,and the general data questionnaire,thyroid cancer quality of life scale(EORTC QLQ-THY 34) and quality of life core questionnaire(EORTC QLQ-C30) were used. Exploration factors were used to extract the early symptom group of thyroid cancer patients,investigate the scores of the quality of life,and conduct Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS Factor analysis extracted four symptom groups:throat-voice symptom group,limb numbness-emotional symptom group,swallowing related symptom group,physical stress symptom group,The cumulative variance contribution rate was 64.93%. The overall health status score of patients with thyroid cancer in the early postoperative stage was 5.12±1.65,it was below the normal level. In the functional domain,the cognitive function score was 3.74±0.45,emotional function score 3.21±0.43,social function 2.96±0.76,and role function 2.66±0.73. The highest scores in the symptom domain were fatigue 1.77±0.39 and pain 1.75±0.50. The symptom group scores were negatively correlated with the scores of all dimensions of quality of life(P<0.05). Each symptom group and each dimension of the quality of life showed significant correlation. The throat-voice symptom group had the strongest correlation with sleep disturbance and role function(r=0.646,r=-0.561). Limb numbness-emotional symptom group was most associated with social functioning,insomnia,and general health(r=-0.538,r=0.529,r=-0.529). Groups of abnormal swallowing symptoms were most associated with physical function,sleep disturbance,and fatigue(r=-0.491,r=0.491,r=0.476),Groups of physical stress symptoms were most associated with physical function and fatigue(r=-0.523,r=-0.520). Sleep disorder had strong associations with each symptom group(r>0.400). CONCLUSION There are four symptom groups in thyroid cancer patients in the early postoperative period,which affect the quality of life of the patients after surgery. Medical staff should timely evaluate and identify the relevant symptoms of the patients after surgery,and conduct effective management,so as to improve the quality of life of the patients after surgery and promote recovery.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome is one of the common complications of sepsis syndrome, belonging to the "Chuan syndrome", "Baochuan", and "Chuantuo" in the TCM field, and the disease is mainly located in the lung. The main etiology and pathogenesis of sepsis syndrome is deficient healthy qi and blood stasis with toxin blocking collaterals. Blood stasis and toxin invade the lung, causing heat and toxin to burn the body fluid in the blood. Blood viscosity and poor circulation lead to the accumulation of blood stasis and toxin in the lung. Acute deficiency syndrome, heat toxin damaging qi, heat toxin burning body fluid deficiency with little ability to dissipate qi, resulting in deficiency of healthy qi, inability to regulate breathing, inability to consolidate body fluid, inability to promote blood circulation, causing phlegm, dampness, and blood stasis blocking the lung. This disease is characterized by blood stasis with toxin blocking collaterals, deficient lung qi, and obstruction of lung qi caused by phlegm, water, dampness, and blood stasis. Therefore, blood stasis with toxin blocking collaterals, as well as deficient healthy qi are TCM pathogenesis of ARDS with sepsis syndrome.

With the popularization of intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) , it is possible to determine the intraoperative nerve function, which provides evidence-based basis for surgical decision making. Intraoperative loss of nerve signal (LOS) often indicates postoperative vocal cord dyskinesia. Once LOS occurs intraoperatively, the next surgical strategy adopted by the operator has always been controversial among Chinese and western experts. Therefore, this paper makes a comparative analysis of the differences between the viewpoints of domestic experts and western scholars and the possible causes through the investigation of domestic and foreign literature to provide theoretical basis for better thyroid surgery decision.

Objective:To study the prevalence of Akabane virus (AKAV) in Yunnan province.Methods:A group of sentinel animals including 5 goats and 10 cattles which were sero-negative for bluetongue virus and AKAV were located in Mangshi, Yunnan province, to monitor arbovirus activity from April to October 2015. The heparin-anticoagulated blood of the animals was collected weekly for arbovirus isolation. Erythrocytes were lysed in distilied water and inoculated onto BHK-21 monolayer for virus isolation. After the cells showed cytopathic effect (CPE), AKAV in the cell cuture were identified by RT-PCR amplification with AKAV S gene segment specific primers and gene sequencing.Results:The result indicated that BHK-21 cell inoculated with the blood from one sentinel goat showed CPE 48 h post inoculation. One day old suckling mice intracerebrally inoculated with the supernatant of the cell culture, they started to become sick and died after 3 days. RT-PCR identification and S gene sequencing showed that the isolate was AKAV (numbered as 16415). The full length of S segment gene of 16415 is 856 nt, encoding 233 amino acids of protein N, and 91 amino acids of protein Ns. Phylogenetic analysis showed that, among the AKAV strains isolated from China and abroad, the newly isolated 16415 was in the same branch with the other viruses in different geographical regions, and their S segment nucleotide sequence have a high homology of 83.8%-97.7%. The further study show that 16415 and the AKAV isolated from the domestic bamboo rat in Guangxi in 2013 have a closest realtionship in evolution, the nucleotide sequence homology was 97.7%, and amino acid homology is 99.6%. Compared with the Japanese OBE-1 strain, the amino acids of protein N of 16415 and the AKAVs, isolated from banboo rat in Guangxi and Anopheles vagas in Mangshi of Yunnan province of China, have two common diverse amino acids loci located at the 115th and 206th sites respectively. Conclusions:It is concluded that AKAV was newly isolated from goat in Mangshi of Yunnan province, which may have important epidemiological significance.

This study aims to evaluate the adaptability and applicability of Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The assessment methods included adaptability assessment and applicability assessment. The adaptability assessment was based on the questionnaire survey to evaluate the familiarity, utilization, quality, and clinical application of the Guidelines; applicability assessment was based on the prospective observation of 853 clinical cases to investigate the applicability and effect of the Guidelines, including effectiveness, economy and safety. Statistical analysis for basic description, construction of different comparison groups for cross or hierarchical statistical test, multi-factor analysis, and confounding factors were used in the study. Adaptability assessment results showed that 63.03% of TCM doctors considered guidelines as good or very good applicability and 4.24% of TCM doctors considered guidelines with very poor applicability in clinical practice. For the applicability evaluation, TCM doctors considered that the "overall efficacy and technology level", "satisfactory degree" and "adaptability in clinical practice" of the guideline were 85.46%, 80.43% and 69.40% respectively. The results showed that guideline was well known among TCM doctors, especially junior TCM doctors. Adaptability and applicability of Guidelines were totally good but the quality and adaptability of the intervention schemes were still week, so the quality of Guidelines should be improved by revision.
