Hyperthyroidism (HT) is frequently complicated by atrial fibrillation (AF) in clinical practice. Based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) zang-xiang (藏象) theory and clinical experience, both HT and AF are closely associated with dysfunction of the liver. The pathogenesis is initiated by the liver failing to govern the free flow of qi, and liver constraint and qi stagnation, with the key turning points being liver constraint transforming into fire and the internal stirring of liver wind, ultimately leading to liver blood depletion and insufficient nourishment of the heart spirit. Thus, it is proposed to treat the disease from the liver, with stage-specific therapeutic approaches according to the evolution of the disease. In the early stage, the treatment should focus on soothing the liver and relieving constraint to reduce goiter and calm the heart, while in the progressive stage, the method of clearing liver and draining fire is suggested to subdue yang and stabilize palpitations. In the acute stage, the strategy is calming the liver and nourishing yin to subdue yang and extinguish wind. In the later stage, it is suggested to soften the liver and benefit qi, so as to nourish yin and restore pulse. These methods are sequentially applied to synergistically reduce goiter and stabilize palpitations, providing a therapeutic approach for HT complicated by AF.

Breast cancer is one of the most common tumors worldwide.Despite significant pro-gress in diagnosis and treatment,the incidence and mortality rates remain high due to its highly inva-sive and metastatic characteristics.Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type 1(TRPS1)is an atypical globin transcription factor-1(GATA).It plays an important role in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation and tissue growth.Studies have found that TRPS1 is significantly overexpressed in breast cancer and closely related to tumor invasion and metastasis.TRPS1 is specifically expressed in the ductal epithelial cells of breast tissue and closely associated with the differentiation of breast ducts.In recent years,scholars have mainly focused on the role and mechanisms of TRPS1 in the di-agnosis and treatment of breast cancer.This review summarized the research progress of TRPS1 in breast cancer,aiming to further analyze its clinical application value in the occurrence,development,diagnosis,and treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex(tPAIC)for mortality in patients with sepsis associated thrombocytopenia(SAT).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 74 patients with SAT admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the 908th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA between Septem-ber 2017 and December 2021.Based on 28-day follow-up for outcomes,the patients were divided into survival group(43 cases)and death group(31 cases).The Boruta algorithm based on random forest and Lasso regression algorithm were used to screen the risk fac-tors from a total of 29 candidate variables,including age,sex,SOFA score on admission,APACHE Ⅱ score,and various hematological indexes,(e.g.,white blood cell count).The time-dependent receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves and the survival analysis were performed for the key variables identified.Results Compared with the survival group,the nonsurvivors in death group had signif-icantly higher SOFA and APACHE Ⅱ scores.The levels of thrombomodulin(TM),thrombin-antithrombin complex(TAT),and tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor complex(tPAIC)were also markedly elevated in death group(P<0.05).Similarly,PT,APTT,TT,FDP,and D-dimer in the death group were significantly higher than those in survivalroup,whereas the fibrinogen levels were signifi-cantly decreased(P<0.05).The levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),total bilirubin(T-Bil),and lactate(Lac)levels were likewise significantly elevated in the death group.Random forest and Lasso regression analysis identified SOFA score,tPAIC,INR,and Lac as the independent risk factors of mortality in the patients with sepsis-associated thrombo-cytopenia(SAT)patients.Time-dependent ROC curve analysis showed that a higher C-index and average area under the curve(AUC)in tPAIC than any other variables for predicting the prognosis of SAT patients.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis stratified by the optimal cutoff value of tPAIC(38.9 ng/mL)revealed that a 2.31-fold higher 28-day survival rate in the patients with tPAIC<38.9 ng/mL group compared those with tPAIC ≥38.9 ng/mL.Conclusion tPAIC demonstrates significant predictive value for mortality in SAT patients.
