To summarize the clinical experience of the diagnosis and treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis based on the theory of "loss of nourishment in bright essence". It is believed that damages of the seven emotions and loss of nourishment in bright essence are the root cause of Hashimoto's thyroiditis， so the overall therapeutic principle was proposed as fortifying brain and tranquillizing mind. For patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis combined with hypothyroidism， the self-prescribed Jiaan Mixture Formula （甲安合剂） with modification is used to fortify brain and tranquillize mind， emolliate the liver and nourish the kidneys； for patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis combined with hyperthyroidism， the self-prescribed Xinnao Kang Formula （心脑康） with modification is used to fortify brain and tranquillize mind， boost qi， invigorate blood， and unblock the collaterals； and for patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis combined with nodularity， the self-prescribed Xiaopi Shu Formula （消癖舒） with modification is used to boost qi and nourish yin， and invigorate blood and dissipate masses.

Interrupted aortic arch is a rare congenital vascular malformation associated with a high mortality rate in infancy, and is therefore very unusual in adults. We report a case of interrupted aortic arch in a 42-year-old male hypertensive patient who was found to have a disruption of aorta continuity distal to the left subclavian artery with massive collateral circulation into the descending aorta by computed tomography angiography. The patient was discharged after the blood pressure was controlled by antihypertensive therapy. This case suggests the necessity of careful auscultation for young patients with hypertension. Once murmur in the chest and back is heard, computed tomography angiography should be performed at once to avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.
