Objective To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of the prescriptions for softening hardness to dissipate mass combined with Levothyroxine Sodium in the treatment of postoperative thyroid cancer,and to provide evidence-based medical proof for clinical treatment of postoperative thyroid cancer.Methods Computer search was performed in the major domestic and oversea databases for the retrieval of clinical randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of prescriptions for softening hardness to dissipate mass combined with Levothyroxine Sodium for the treatment of postoperative thyroid cancer.After screening the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,the quality of the included literature was evaluated using the tools for analysis of the bias recommended by Cochrane Reviewer's Handbook and the modified JADAD rating scale,and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software.Results A total of 11 RCTs involving 749 patients were eventually included.The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with Levothyroxine Sodium alone,prescriptions for softening hardness to dissipate mass combined with Levothyroxine Sodium significantly enhanced the efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer(RR=1.30,95%CI[1.21,1.41],Z = 6.81,P＜0.000 01),and improved the thyroid functions parameters of serum thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)(SMD=-1.75,95%CI[-2.38,-1.13],Z = 5.47,P＜0.000 01),thyroglobulin(TG)(SMD=-1.13,95%CI[-1.71,-0.55],Z = 3.81,P = 0.000 1),free triiodothyronine(FT3)(SMD=3.42,95%CI[0.73,6.10],Z = 2.50,P = 0.01),free thyroxine(FT4)(SMD=1.85,95%CI[0.05,3.66],Z = 2.02,P = 0.04),and thyroglobulin antibody(TgAb)(SMD=-0.63,95%CI[-1.11,-0.15],Z = 2.55,P = 0.01),increased Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS)scores(SMD= 2.19,95%CI[1.30,3.08],Z = 4.81,P＜0.000 01),shortened the time for the relief of clinical symptoms after thyroid cancer surgery(MD=-4.67,95%CI[-5.38,-3.96],Z = 12.87,P＜0.000 01),reduced the diameter of the largest thyroid nodule after thyroid cancer surgery(MD=-2.51,95%CI[-3.13,-1.89],Z = 7.94,P＜0.000 01),regulated the immune function indicators of T lymphocyte population CD3+(MD=8.68,95%CI[4.97,12.39],Z = 4.59,P＜0.000 01)and CD4+(MD=10.77,95%CI[5.46,16.08],Z = 3.97,P＜0.000 1)levels,and reduced the incidence of postoperative complications of thyroid cancer(RR=0.34,95%CI[0.18,0.65],Z = 3.26,P = 0.001).The differences were all statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion prescriptions for softening hardness to dissipate mass combined with Levothyroxine Sodium can enhance the efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer.The combined therapy is superior to Levothyroxine Sodium alone in improving thyroid function indicators,KPS score,time for the relief of clinical symptoms,diameter of the largest thyroid nodule,immune function indicators,and the incidence of postoperative complications.However,due to the small amount of included trials and the fact that the prescriptions for softening hardness to dissipate mass vary in the composition,the conclusions of the analysis need to be confirmed by more high-quality,multi-center,large-sample clinically randomized controlled trials.

The effects of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide ( CTAB) , ascorbic acid, NaBH4 and AgNO3 , as well as the stirring time and reaction time on the preparation of gold nanorods synthesized with seedless growth method were studied. The optimum preparation conditions were obtained in the process of growth of gold nanorods. The gold nanorods prepared under different conditions were characterized by visible absorption spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy ( TEM ) . Under the optimum conditions such as room temperature, 0. 1 mol/L CTAB, 96 μmol/L AgNO3 , 0. 97 mmol/L ascorbic acid, 1. 5 μmol/L NaBH4 and stirring for 25 s, micro-sized gold nanorods with uniform morphology, good dispersibility, small shaft width and high aspect ratio were prepared within 6 h. The gold nanorods were expected to be applied to the detection of mercury ion in water environment.
