Objective To investigate the diagnosis and surgical management of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and coexisting disease. Methods The clinical data of 54 patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis were analyzed retrospectively. Results 25 cases were diagnosed as Hashimoto's disease by clinical physical examination, FNAB and immune antibody assay. Diagnostic treatment with medicine was adopted firstly. Of them 24 cured, one was found coexisting thyroid cancer, and then a radical operation was performed. The other 29 cases had been misdiagnosed as surgical diseases because of atypical features and undergoing thyroidectomy; the diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease had been confirmed by pathology, and some coexistence had been found(hyperthyroidism in 3, thyroid carcinoma in 4, malignant lymphoma in 2, thyroid adenoma in 5). Conclusions Attention should be paid to the atypical Hashimoto's disease. FNAB, immune antibody assay, diagnostic treatment, operative exploration and biopsy would be helpful to make the sound diagnoses of Hashimoto thyroiditis and the disease in coexistence, which ought to be operated on corresopondingly.

Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),a comprehensive medicinal system,is characterized by holistic theory that emphasizes the regulation of the integrity of the human body and the interactions between human individuals and their environments. The diagnostic and therapeutic methods of TCM are based on the differentiation of syndrome(Zheng in Chinese)and the use of herbal formula(Fang-Ji in Chinese). There is an urgent need to develop scientific research methods in accordance with the above characteristics for TCM modernization. In the era of big data and with the rapid progress in systems biology,polypharmacology and bioinformatics,network pharmacology has emerged as a promising drug discovery approach that takes the same view as the theory of TCM. This methodology has explored correlations between drugs and complex diseases from the perspective of the holistic theory and has highlighted the paradigm shift from″one drug,one target″to″network target″. Thus,it is an original idea to combine network pharmacology with the modern research of TCM. This paper briefly analyzed and discussed the progress and major scientific challenges in network pharmacology applied to TCM diagnosis and treatment. To promote the development of TCM network pharmacology , several suggestions were also raised.

World Health Organization believes traditional Chinese medicine is used widely in the world. In order to fit in the new tendency, Chinese government has supported a large number of international cooperation projects of science and technology in the field in the recent years and that offered powerful support and good chances for international development of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on work experience of international science and technology cooperation project, the paper provides practical suggestions about application organizing, agreement signing, focus selecting and project implementing for international cooperation of traditional Chinese medicine. It suggests summarizing the experience of international cooperation for better implementation of science and technology projects frequently, and that will elevate the level of these projects, bring forward more achievements and promote the further international development of traditional Chinese medicine.

A pyelonephritis model of mouse is made by c. albicans infection. The determination of im-mune functions in model show that, both proliferation response of T cell to ConA and IL-2 activ-iting of spleenocytes of model animal to inductionwith ConA increased at 30 days after injected.The proliferation response of B cell to stimulation with LPS inhanced from 15 through 30 days,primary Ab response of model animal to SRBC stimulation inhanced between 15-30 days afterimmunization. DTH response to stimulation with c. albicans protein Ag raised since 15 days andup to peak at 30 days. Agglutination titer of serum raised up 15 days, and remained at higherlevel untill 30 days.

Manganese(Mn) is one of the essential trace elements in biologic metabolism.With proper quantity,Mn acts as some enzymes’active groups,reactivators,and participates in the physiological functions of central nervous system.Overdose exposure to Mn in industry may result in occurrence of occupational manganism,which can cause damage of many aspects of the body such as nerve,immunity and reproduction.The aim of present essay is to review the current studies on nerval behavior function and biomarkers of manganism both in China and other countries.

Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) is a pathogen exclusively found in humans. It causes a wide range of infections from the upper respiratory tract to serious invasive diseases. Such as pneumonia, septicemia and meningitis. Strains of Hi are usually classif ied into six serotypes a to f and nontypeable H. influenzae (NTHI) according to the antigenicities and compositions of their polysaccharide capsules. Hib was a common cause of serious infections in younger children. The polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines against Hib had almost eliminated H. influenzae as a cause of pediatric meningitis. However, NTHI remains an important pathogen, particularly in children and the elderly. Efforts to understand and control NTHI disease have been hampered by the diversity of these bacteria. This review introduced the study progress about pathogenic mechanism of NTHI. In order to provide the help for development of vaccine, clinic treatment and prevent the occurrence of diseases causing by NTHI.
