Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the tonifying spleen and reinforcing Qi (TSRQ) therapy combined with thyroid hormone replacement therapy (THRT) for treating Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. Methods: From database foundation to January 14, 2025, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), and China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) were searched for relevant information. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy and safety of TSRQ therapy combined with THRT for Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism were eligible for inclusion. Following quality assessment, data were analyzed using Stata 15.1 to conduct a meta-analysis and systematic review. Subgroup analysis was used to identify the sources of heterogeneity. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system was adopted to evaluate the certainty of the evidence. Results: This study included 30 RCTs, comprising 2 687 patients with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. Overall methodological quality was acceptable, with no studies exhibiting a high risk of bias. Meta-analysis demonstrated that TSRQ therapy combined with THRT significantly enhanced serum free triiodothyronine (fT3) levels [standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.57 to 0.94, P < 0.001] and free thyroxine (fT4) levels (SMD = 0.86, 95% CI: 0.61 to 1.11, P < 0.001), while reducing thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (SMD = – 0.99, 95% CI: – 1.20 to – 0.78, P < 0.001) compared with THRT alone. Furthermore, the combination therapy significantly decreased anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) levels (SMD = – 1.46, 95% CI: – 1.79 to – 1.13, P < 0.001) and anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) levels (SMD = – 1.46, 95% CI: – 1.80 to – 1.11, P < 0.001). TSRQ therapy did not adversely impact the safety profile of THRT. However, while some sources of heterogeneity have been identified (e.g., specific detection methodologies, I² = 0.0%, P = 0.938), there remains a portion of unexplained heterogeneity (e.g., publication year, I² = 93.4%, P < 0.001), which has undermined confidence in these pooled estimates. The evidence ratings for fT3, fT4, and TSH were limited, and those for TPOAb and TgAb were even more limited. Conclusion TSRQ therapy combined with THRT may strengthen thyroid function and modulate immune dysregulation in patients with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism without increasing adverse event incidence.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Cai's gynecological nourishing kidney therapy for patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).Methods:A randomly controlled trail was conducted. A total of 63 patients with DOR who were treated in the gynecology outpatient clinic of Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2020 to January 2022 were set as observation subjects, and were divided into control group ( n=31) and observation group ( n=32) according to the random number table method. The patients in the control group were treated with Femoston, and the patients in the observation group were treated with Cai's gynecological nourishing kidney therapy on the basis of Femoston treatment. Both groups were treated for 3 menstrual cycles. Both antral follicle count (AFC) was performed by vaginal ultrasound, serum levels of TGF-β1, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6 and IL-21 were detected by ELISA, and serum levels of FSH, LH, E2, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and MDA were detected by biochemical methods. The TCM syndrome score was used to evaluate the severity of symptoms, and the menstrual score was used to evaluate the abnormal menstruation. Clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results:The total effective rate was 87.50% (28/32) in the observation group and 58.06% (18/31) in the control group, with statistical significance ( χ2=8.42, P=0.004). After treatment, the AFC in the observation group (3.93±2.32 vs. 2.21±2.18, t=3.03) was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01). After treatment, the serum FSH level of the observation group [10.05 (8.35, 21.48) IU/L vs. 20.60 (8.00, 43.30) IU/L, Z=2.18] was lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05), and the level of AMH [0.19 (0.03, 0.47) μg/L vs. 0.02 (0.01, 0.24) μg/L, Z=-1.54] in the observation group was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The serum levels of TGF-β1 [(68.27±11.76) ng/L vs. (55.33±13.03) ng/L, t=4.14] and IL-1β [(58.00±7.53) ng/L vs. (52.31±8.06) ng/L, t=2.89] in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the levels of IL-6 [(33.26±7.45) ng/L vs. (40.69±11.69) ng/L, t=3.02], the level of IL-21 [(118.37±15.56) ng/L vs. (140.43±25.51) ng/L, t=-4.04] was lower than that of the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Cai's gynecological nourishing kidney therapy combined with Fenmaotong can effectively increase the AFC of DOR patients and improve clinical efficacy. Its mechanism of action may be related to reducing serum FSH and LH levels and increasing E2 levels.

BackgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD） is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by age-inappropriate inattention， excessive activities incongruous with setting， and emotional impulsivity. Subthreshold ADHD （sADHD） is clinically defined as the presence of ADHD symptoms that do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Children with sADHD exhibit deficits in executive function， demonstrate more conduct， learning， and anxiety-related problems compared to typically developing children， and show even poorer working memory performance than children diagnosed with ADHD. Currently， there is limited epidemiological research on sADHD in China， with few studies simultaneously investigating the prevalence of both ADHD and sADHD in children. ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of ADHD and sADHD among children aged 6–13 years in Chongqing， analyzing their distribution characteristics within this population， with the aim of providing references for developing preventive measures against both ADHD and sADHD. MethodsFrom October to November 2023， a total of 3 398 students in grades 1–6 from six primary schools in Jiangbei District， Chongqing were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The occurrence of ADHD and sADHD was evaluated by using the short version （18-item version） of the Swanson， Nolan， and Pelham IV rating scales （SNAP-IV） and the Chinese vision of Schedule for Affective Disorder and Schizophrenia for School-aged Children-Present and Lifetime Version （K-SADS-PL）. ResultsThe ADHD detection rate among children in Chongqing was 1.90% （95% CI： 0.014–0.024）. Boys showed a significantly higher ADHD detection rate than girls （χ²=7.733， P=0.005）. No statistically significant differences were found in ADHD detection rates across different grades or age groups （χ²=7.347， 12.362， P>0.05）. The sADHD detection rate was 6.32% （95% CI： 0.054–0.072）. Similarly， boys exhibited significantly higher sADHD detection rates than girls （χ²=21.005， P<0.01）. Significant differences emerged across different grades （χ²=20.559， P=0.001）， while no statistically significant difference was observed in age groups （χ²=12.070， P=0.060）. ConclusionThe ADHD detection rates were comparable across all grade levels and age groups from 6–13 years old. Second-grade children demonstrated notably higher sADHD rates compared to other grades， while boys demonstrated higher prevalence rates than girls for both ADHD and sADHD. ［Funded by Science and Health Joint Medical Research Project in Jiangbei District， Chongqing City in the Second Half of 2023 （number， 2023JBKWLH022）］

Objective To compare the influence between self-monitoring of blood gluocose(SMBG)combined with digital diabetes management and traditional management mode on the related clinical indexes in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 100 patients with T2DM treated in the endocrinology and metabolism outpatient department of this hospital from January 2022 to June 2022 and meeting the inclusion criteria of this study were successively included.They were divided into the experimental group and control group.The experimental group was managed by SMBG combined with digital diabetes man-agement mode,while the control group adopted the traditional management mode,the outpatient clinic follow up once a month.After 6 months of follow-up,fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio(UACR)were compared between the two groups.Results The FBG,HbA1c,LDL-C,and UACR of the experimental group decreased after intervention when compared with baseline.Compared with the control group,the FBG[8.7(7.7,9.2)mmol/L vs.10.8(8.8,12.7)mmol/L,Z=-4.660,P＜0.001],HbA1c[6.3％(5.3,7.8)％vs.8.5％(7.2,10.0)％,Z=-5.130,P＜0.001],LDL-C[2.6(1.8,3.1)mmol/L vs.3.3(2.6,4.0)mmol/L,Z=-4.112,P＜0.001],UACR[16.1(3.5,46.5)mg/g vs.58.4(11.9,108.0)mg/g,Z=-2.220,P=0.026]for patients in the expriemental group after intervention were significantly decreased.Conclusion SMBG combined with digital diabetes management model can significantly improve the clinical indicators of patients.

Objective·To establish a multifactorial discriminative model for predicting the degree of infiltration in patients with non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma based on clinically accessible laboratory indicators,such as tumor markers,coagulation function indicators,routine blood count indicators,and biochemical indicators.Methods·A retrospective study was conducted on 202 patients with lung adenocarcinoma admitted to Shanghai Chest Hospital in 2022.Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis was applied to screen independent factors that influenced the predictive infiltration degree of lung adenocarcinoma and to establish a regression model.In addition,machine learning was used to construct a discriminative model,and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)was used to evaluate the discriminative ability of the model to discriminate the degree of infiltration in lung adenocarcinoma patients.Results·A total of 202 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were included in the study,and divided into pre-invasive lesion group(n=59)and invasive lesion group(n=143).Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis revealed that urea,percentage of basophilic granulocytes,and albumin were independent factors for predicting the degree of infiltration of lung adenocarcinoma(all P<0.05).The predictive model expression was P = eX/(1 + eX),where X =(0.534×urea)+(1.527×percentage of basophilic granulocytes)-(1.916×albumin)+ 6.373.Machine learning results showed that the model performed best when urea,fibrinogen,albumin,percentage of basophilic granulocytes,prealbumin and carcino embryonic antigen(CEA)were included.After comparing the performance of 8 machine learning algorithms(based on ridge regression,least absolute shrinkage and selection operator,neural network,random forest,k-nearest neighbors,support vector machine,decision tree,and adaptive boosting algorithms)using the DeLong test,the ridge regression algorithm with the highest AUC was selected.The AUC of the predictive model was calculated to be 0.744(95%CI 0.656-0.832),with a sensitivity of 70.8%and a specificity of 70.2%.Conclusion·A comprehensive differentiation model constructed by urea,fibrinogen,albumin,percentage of basophilic granulocytes,prealbumin and CEA can effectively predict the infiltration degree of the enrolled lung adenocarcinoma patients,holding the potential to provide more precise guidance for the clinical grading and adjunctive treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.

Background::Clinical opportunistic screening is a cost-effective cancer screening modality. This study aimed to establish an easy-to-use diagnostic model serving as a risk stratification tool for identification of individuals with malignant gastric lesions for opportunistic screening.Methods::We developed a questionnaire-based diagnostic model using a joint dataset including two clinical cohorts from northern and southern China. The cohorts consisted of 17,360 outpatients who had undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination in endoscopic clinics. The final model was derived based on unconditional logistic regression, and predictors were selected according to the Akaike information criterion. External validation was carried out with 32,614 participants from a community-based randomized controlled trial.Results::This questionnaire-based diagnostic model for malignant gastric lesions had eight predictors, including advanced age, male gender, family history of gastric cancer, low body mass index, unexplained weight loss, consumption of leftover food, consumption of preserved food, and epigastric pain. This model showed high discriminative power in the development set with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.791 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.750–0.831). External validation of the model in the general population generated an AUC of 0.696 (95% CI: 0.570–0.822). This model showed an ideal ability for enriching prevalent malignant gastric lesions when applied to various scenarios.Conclusion::This easy-to-use questionnaire-based model for diagnosis of prevalent malignant gastric lesions may serve as an effective prescreening tool in clinical opportunistic screening for gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the association between cardiovascular autonomic function and voiding symptoms in Parkinson disease(PD)patients.Methods We reviewed PD patients from the Department of Neurology of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital(Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences)between November 2020 and July 2023.Patients with PD were diagnosed by movement disorder specialists and received motor symptoms assessment based on Movement Disorders Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part Ⅲ(MDS-UPDRS Ⅲ).We included those patients who underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(ABPM),ultrasound measured post void residual(PVR)and uroflowmetry.Subjects were divided into two groups:PD patients with nocturnal hypertension(PD-NH)group and PD patients without nocturnal hypertension(PD-nNH)group,according to the average nocturnal blood pressure.General clinical features,clinical assessments and urinary evaluations were compared between the two groups.We calculated average real variability(ARV)and examined its correlation factors using generalized linear models.Results Among the total of 87 PD patients,46(52.87% )were found to have nocturnal hypertension(NH).The PD-NH group exhibited more PVR[1.00(0.00,21.25)mL]compared to the PD-nNH group[0.00(0.00,5.50)mL](P<0.05).Additionally,generalized linear model analysis which scale response is Gamma with log link showed in PD patients,ARV of 24-hour diastolic blood pressure was correlated with PVR(OR=1.003,95% CI:1.001-1.005,P=0.008)and sex(male,OR=1.234,95% CI:1.050-1.451,P=0.011).Conclusion Our study demonstrates the association between cardiovascular autonomic function and voiding symptoms in PD.

Objective:To explore the impact of self-disclosure on demoralization syndrome in patients with permanent enterostomy for colorectal cancer, so as to provide reference for clinical nursing interventions for those patients.Methods:From January to May 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 207 patients with permanent enterostomy for colocrctal cancer of the Wound Ostomy Clinic of Laoshan Campus of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University as the research subjects. A survey was conducted on patients using the General Information Questionnaire, Distress Disclosure Index, Social Support Rating Scale, and the Demoralization Scale Mandarin Version.Results:Among 207 patients with permanent enterostomy for colorectal cancer, the scores of self-disclosure, social support, and demoralization syndrome were 35.00 (26.00, 47.00) , 32.00 (26.00, 39.00) , and 35.00 (23.00, 47.00) , respectively. A total of 128 patients (61.8%) were in moderate demoralization, and 37 patients (17.9%) were in severe demoralization. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that place of residence, self-care of stoma, self-disclosure, and social support were the influencing factors for demoralization syndrome in patients with permanent enterostomy for colorectal cancer ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Patients with permanent enterostomy for colorectal cancer have a high overall score of demoralization syndrome, and a high proportion of patients with moderate to severe demoralization. Medical and nursing staff should focus on patients in remote rural areas and those with poor self-care abilities to stomas, develop targeted intervention measures to improve patients' negative emotions, enhance their self-disclosure, and pay attention to strengthening social support to relieve their demoralization syndrome, thereby improving their quality of life.
