Background: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is characterized by elevated levels of thyroid hormone (TSH) and normal levels of free thyroxine (FT4). The outcomes of SCH patients are crucial for determining treatment plans; therefore, our aim is to summarize the existing prospective studies to understand the changes in thyroid function over time in SCH patients and the factors influencing these changes, providing references for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for prospective follow-up studies on natural outcomes of SCH published until September 2024.

Introduction: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and normal free thyroxine (FT) levels. The overdiagnosis and overtreatment of SCH in elderly patients have become concerns as TSH levels naturally increase with age. Studies have shown that many elderly patients with SCH can recover without treatment, and the administration of levothyroxine (L-T) does not improve their prognosis.

The species of the genus are unique in their maintenance of a nucleus-plastid continuum throughout their cell cycle, non-motility and asexual reproduction. These characteristics should have been endorsed in their gene assemblages (genomes). Here we show that has a genome of 29.

Thermosensitive genic male-sterile (TGMS) rice is widely used in hybrid rice production. Because of its specific temperature requirement, it can be used only in a narrow rice-growing zone in Asia. A newly discovered TGMS line, G20S, has an opposite phenotype compared with normal TGMS lines.

Mutations that result in plant male sterility provide means not only to probe reproductive development but also to facilitate commercial heterosis application and hybrid seed production. In this study, we report a novel male sterility gene, ms91(t), in a spontaneous mutant line (SH38) from a Chinese rice cultivar (Oryza sativa subsp. japonica 'Jijing14').
