Thyroid diseases are common clinical endocrine disorders， and their pathogenesis is generally considered to be closely related to genetic predisposition factors， immune system disorders， hormone levels， etc. Xiaoyaosan is widely used in the treatment of various thyroid diseases with excellent effects. This study summarized the relevant literature on the treatment of thyroid diseases with modified Xiaoyaosan prescriptions and their active ingredients from aspects such as theoretical analysis， clinical research， and mechanism research. Theoretical analysis revealed that Xiaoyaosan could not only disperse stagnated liver qi but also replenish deficient spleen Qi， which was consistent with the etiology and pathogenesis of thyroid diseases. Clinical studies found that Xiaoyaosan and its modified prescriptions could be widely used in the treatment of multiple thyroid diseases， such as hyperthyroidism， Hashimoto's thyroiditis， and thyroid nodules. Both the use of modified Xiaoyaosan alone and in combination with medications such as methimazole， propylthiouracil， and euthyrox could effectively improve patients' clinical symptoms. In the mechanism research， this study discovered that the whole formula of Xiaoyaosan and its modified prescriptions could inhibit inflammatory reactions， regulate immune balance， and delay liver damage during the treatment of thyroid diseases. The research on Xiaoyaosan for treating thyroid diseases mainly focused on thyroid cancer， autoimmune thyroiditis， hyperthyroidism， and hypothyroidism. The mechanisms of action mainly involved promoting cell apoptosis， inhibiting cell proliferation and migration， arresting the cell cycle， and regulating thyroid hormone levels. In conclusion， this study systematically combs and summarizes the research status of Xiaoyaosan in treating thyroid diseases through literature retrieval， aiming to provide new perspectives and new ideas for the prevention and treatment of thyroid diseases with traditional Chinese medicine.

Background: and Purpose Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a severe complication associated with adverse functional outcomes and increased mortality rates. Currently, a reliable predictive model for sICH risk after EVT is lacking. Methods: This study used data from patients aged ≥20 years who underwent EVT for anterior circulation stroke from the nationwide Taiwan Registry of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke (TREAT-AIS). A predictive model including factors associated with an increased risk of sICH after EVT was developed to differentiate between patients with and without sICH. This model was compared existing predictive models using nationwide registry data to evaluate its relative performance. Results: Of the 2,507 identified patients, 158 developed sICH after EVT. Factors such as diastolic blood pressure, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, platelet count, glucose level, collateral score, and successful reperfusion were associated with the risk of sICH after EVT. The TREAT-AIS score demonstrated acceptable predictive accuracy (area under the curve [AUC]=0.694), with higher scores being associated with an increased risk of sICH (odds ratio=2.01 per score increase, 95% confidence interval=1.64–2.45, P<0.001). The discriminatory capacity of the score was similar in patients with symptom onset beyond 6 hours (AUC=0.705). Compared to existing models, the TREAT-AIS score consistently exhibited superior predictive accuracy, although this difference was marginal. Conclusions The TREAT-AIS score outperformed existing models, and demonstrated an acceptable discriminatory capacity for distinguishing patients according to sICH risk levels. However, the differences between models were only marginal. Further research incorporating periprocedural and postprocedural factors is required to improve the predictive accuracy.

Thyroid diseases are common endocrine disorders with high incidence. The diseases are closely related to genetic factors， immune system disorders， and hormone levels. Although modern medical therapies have achieved certain therapeutic effects， the side effects have affected clinical treatment. In recent years， studies have proven that gut microbiota is a key factor affecting thyroid diseases， and increasing studies have referred to the bidirectional information interaction system between the gut and thyroid as the gut-thyroid axis. This study adopts the meridian-collateral theory and the visceral manifestation theory of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） to explain the functions， physiological characteristics， and pathological mechanisms of the gut and thyroid. Furthermore， this paper clarifies the mechanism of gut microbiota in modulating thyroid homeostasis by inducing inflammation and altering thyroid hormone metabolism from the perspective of molecular biology， clarifying the rationality of the gut-thyroid axis from the perspectives of TCM and Western medicine. Meanwhile， under the guidance of the gut-thyroid axis， increasing studies have been carried out regarding the application of TCM in regulating gut microbiota in the treatment of thyroid diseases. Both the active component emodin and compound prescription Yiqi Huatan Huoxue prescription of Chinese medicine can treat thyroid diseases by regulating the abundance and diversity of gut microbiota and improving the intestinal mucosal barrier. However， the systematic review of the research on TCM treatment of thyroid diseases by regulating gut microbiota remains to be conducted. This study expounds the gut-thyroid axis from both TCM and Western medicine and reviews the research progress in the TCM treatment of thyroid diseases by regulating gut microbiota， aiming to give new insights into the prevention and treatment of thyroid diseases with TCM.

Objective:To study the distribution of TCM constitutions in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:This is a multicenter cross-sectional study. The general clinical data, dialysis-related parameters and physical and chemical examination data of MHD patients from 6 dialysis centers in Sichuan were collected. At the same time, DS01-A tongue and facial pulse information collection system was used for TCM constitution discrimination.Results:A total of 232 MHD patients were enrolled , and 417 kinds of TCM constitutions were detected, including 59 patients (25.43%) with moderate constitution and 173 patients (74.57%) with biased constitution. Phlegm-dampness was the most common type of solid constitution 47 patients (20.26%). The most common deficiency constitution was qi deficiency 86 patients (37.07%). There were certain differences in the physical distribution of patients with different gender, age, dialysis age, BMI, and whether they had diabetes, hypertension or anemia.Conclusions:The TCM constitutions of MHD patients are mainly biased constitution. Gender, age, BMI, diabetes or hypertension have a certain impact on the distribution of TCM constitutions. At the same time, different constitutions may have an impact on the anemia of MHD patients. The intervention of TCM constitutions on MHD patients may be beneficial to the prognosis of MHD patients.

Objective To assess the correlation between the severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV)with the quality of postoperative recovery and capacity of mobility in patients after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.Methods A total of 125 patients,80 males and 45 females,aged 18-64 years,BMI 18-35 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ,undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery were observed.The severity of PONV was assessed using the simplified PONV impact scale day 1 after sur-gery.The patients were divided into three groups according to the severity of PONV:non-PONV group(n = 87),mild PONV group(n = 31),and moderate to severe PONV group(n = 7).The quality of recovery was assessed using the quality of recovery-15(QoR-15)on the first day after surgery,and the capacity of mobility was assessed using the 6-minute walk test(6-MWT)on the second day after surgery.The multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the correlation between the severity of PONV and quality of post-operative recovery and capacity of mobility.Results The results of the corrected multiple linear regression model showed that,compared with the patients without PONV,the QoR-15 scores of the patients with mild and moderate-severe PONV on the first day after surgery were reduced by 4.5 scores(95%CI-8.9 to-0.04 scores,P = 0.048)and 15.8 scores(95%CI-24.8 to-6.8 scores,P = 0.001),respectively.Mild(MD =-27.4 m,95%CI-70.1 to 15.4 m,P = 0.207)and moderate-severe PONV(MD =-57.0 m,95%CI-145.7 to 31.6 m,P = 0.204)were not significantly associated with 6-MWT distance shortening on the second day after surgery.Conclusion Increased PONV severity is associated with poorer recovery quality in patients undergoing pulmonary surgery.Active prevention and treatment of PONV may contribute to early recovery of patients.

Objective To evaluate the value of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)in prenatal diagnosis of fetal Chiari malformation.Methods The prenatal MRI findings of 27 cases of Chiari malformation confirmed by follow-up in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University from Feb 2010 to Feb 2022 were retrospectively analyzed and compared with ultrasound findings.Results Twenty-seven pregnant women,aged from 16-36 years(average 28.0 years)and 27 fetuses with gestation from 15.3-38.4 weeks(average 24.3 weeks)were studied.There were 18 cases of Chiari Ⅱ(Chiari malformation type Ⅱ,CMⅡ),3 cases of Chiari Ⅲ(CMⅢ),6 cases of Chiari Ⅳ(CMⅣ).CMⅡ and CMⅢ images showed brain herniation,descending pons,narrowing or disappearance of the posterior fossa cistern and the fourth ventricle,the subarachnoid space disappears.There were 17 cases of hydrocephalus,2 cases of cerebrospinal fluid loss,17 cases of"lemon head"and"banana cerebellar"signs,4 cases of encephalocele,15 cases of spinal bifida,3 cases of lower spinal cord and 2 cases of spinal cavity,4 cases of spinal angular deformity and 6 cases of other malformations.In CMⅣ,there were 2 cases of undeveloped cerebellum and 4 cases of cerebellum and brainstem dysplasia,hydrocephalus in 5 cases,posterior fossa cistern widening in 4 cases,and other malformations in 4 cases.MRI showed the posterior fossa structure and spinal cord more clearly than ultrasound,and could find lesions not detected by ultrasound.Conclusion Prenatal MRI can be used as a complementary examination of ultrasound,which can improve the accuracy of diagnosis of Chiari malformation,reduce the rate of missed diagnosis,and clarify the classification of Chiari malformation.

BACKGROUND:Exercise improves Alzheimer's disease,dementia,and age-related cognitive abilities.A potential mediator between exercise and these health benefits may be adult hippocampal neurogenesis.Therefore,it is of great significance to explore whether and how exercise affects the adult hippocampal neurogenesis process in Alzheimer's disease mice. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of aerobic exercise on adult hippocampal neurogenesis of Alzheimer's disease mice,and to explore whether aerobic exercise can promote their adult hippocampal neurogenesis. METHODS:Three-month-old wild-type(C57BL/6Jnju)and APP/PS1 double transgenic Alzheimer's disease mice were randomly divided into four groups:wild control group,wild exercise group,Alzheimer's disease control group and Alzheimer's disease exercise group,with 20 mice in each group.The control group did not do exercise,and the exercise group did aerobic exercise for 5 months.After exercise intervention,real-time PCR,immunofluorescence and western blot assay were used to detect the expression levels of DCX,Ki67,βIII-tubulin and NeuN in the hippocampal tissue of mice in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expressions of DCX,βIII-tubulin and NeuN in the hippocampal dentate gyrus in the Alzheimer's disease control group were significantly lower than those in the wild control group(P<0.05).The expressions of DCX,Ki67,βIII-tubulin and NeuN were significantly higher in the hippocampal dentate gyrus in the Alzheimer's disease exercise group than those in the Alzheimer's disease control group(P<0.05).It is indicated that long-term aerobic exercise intervention can strengthen the proliferation,migration and differentiation of neurons during adult hippocampal neurogenesis and significantly increase the number of neuronal precursor cells and new neurons in Alzheimer's disease mice.
