Thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy, ultrasonographically guided thyroid fine needle puncture and the common cytologic pathological characterstics of various thyroid diseases are reviewed, and the clinical application is discussed.

The article reviews primary, secondary and tertiary prevention strategy of thyroid diseases and its possible effect.

The Montreux definition established in 2017 made it clear that the neonates can not be excluded from the diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which supported the urge of emphasizing the specificity and importance of neonatal ARDS (nARDS) in the past ten years in China. Neonatal idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome is caused primarily by insufficient pulmonary surfactant system, which pathologically and clinically presented as typical respiratory distress syndrome. While the causes of nARDS often coexisted with underlying conditions, and its pathological and clinical features are a superposition of both respiratory distress syndrome and underlying conditions. Therefore, superimposition is the key to understanding the etiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of nARDS, which is crucial for optimizing the clinical practice of nARDS.

Neonatal mortality has been significantly decreased because of the development of neo-natal respiratory support techniques. Nevertheless,constant and high frequency ventilators have some limita-tions to solve all problems in neonatal respiratory failure. Special mechanical ventilation,mainly including he-liox and partial liquid ventilation,provides new respiratory support for newborn infants. The clinical signifi-cance of heliox and partial liquid ventilation need further investigation.

OBJECTIVE:To calculate pharmacokinetic parameters and compartment model's parameters by extravascular administration based on Excel function.METHODS:The parameters of pharmacokinetics and compartment model were calculated using residual method and Excel function.RESULTS:Excel can be used to directly demonstrate calculation process of parameters of pharmacokinetics and compartment model,with calculation results in line with those stated in textbooks.CONC-LUSION:The established method is simple,direct-viewing,reliable and easy to be extended,and it can be used to calculate pharmacokinetic parameters in clinical teaching or experiments.

Objective To analyze the relationship of serum levels of TSH,thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb) with cytopathologic changes of thyroid fine needle aspiration(FNAB) in autoimmune thyroiditis(AIT).Methods Totally 82 cases of cytologically confirmed AIT including 75 females and 7 males were collected.Levels of TSH,TPOAb and TGAb were tested.After execution of FNAB,features of the cytopathology were observed.Results ① The percentage of positive TPOAb and TGAb were 91.4% and 74.4%,respectively in all the AIT patients.47.6% of the patients had TSH levels within normal range(0.3～5 mu/L).② All of the slides had different grades of lymphocytic infiltration.49.3% had germinal center,32.8% had Askanazy cells,26.9% had plasma cells,22.4% had colloid,and 9% had multinuclear giant cells.③ Lymphocytic infiltration was divided into four degrees.The levels of TSH and TPOAb increased significantly in the extremely heavy lymphocytic infiltration grade than in the others(P

Objective To analyze the relationship between autoimmune thyroid disease(AITD) and the genetic, immune and environmental factors. Methods A total of 500 patients with AITD and 206 healthy persons were included in this study. After carefully collecting the patient history and medical records, the inquiry forms were fulfilled to know about the genetic, immune and environmental factors. Statistical analysis was conducted using the SPSS statistical system. Results It was shown that family history of AITD, smoking and psychological factors were significantly different between AITD group and control(P0.05). Meanwhile, the difference of infection, contact with chemical poison, intake of sea food, miscarriage and blood type were also not significant between the patients and controls. Conclusion It is suggested that the heredity plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AITD. Smoking and psychological factors also have evident influence.

Sudden visual loss is a group of diseases of retina, with emotional factors being an important pathogeny. On the basis of summarizing the relationship between the psychological features of the sudden visual loss and seven emotional factors, we explore the application of the seven emotional factors in sudden visual loss, in order to treat a disease by looking into both its body and mind and enhance its therapeutic effects.

Prognostic factors of differentiated thyroid carcinomas ( DTC ) were analyzed and the related literatures were systematically reviewed in order to justify the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for improving the patient′s survival.150 patients ( female,n =113 ; male,n =37 ) with histopathologically diagnosed DTC,including papillary thyroid carcinoma ( n =131,87.3％ ) and follicular thyroid carcinoma ( n =19,12.7％ ),were postoperatively followed up and their clinical data were retrospectively reviewed.Patients were followed up for 4.15-31 years wherein 140 patients( 93.3％ ) survived but with relapse in 30 patients( 20.0％ ),and 10 patients( 6.7％ ) died.Surgical procedures consisted of near-total or subtotal thyroidectomy ( n =83,55.3％ ),partial thyroidectomy ( n =64,42.7％ ),and total thyroidectomy ( n =3,2.0％ ).Out of the patients receiving lymph node dissection ( n =63 ),45 patients( 71.4％ ) had detectable lymph node metastasis.Age of onset,tumor size at initial visit,and early metastasis showed the statistically significant difference between mortality group and survival group (P＜ 0.05 ),as well as between relapse group and relapse-free group( P＜0.05 ).Age of onset,tumor size at initial visit,and early metastasis are prognostic factors for DTC.
