Objective: To study the incidence of Graves' disease and the associated factors.
Methods: Totally 100,123 people aged 15 to 79 years in Daqing area were surveyed epidemiologically. The investigation was conducted for two years.
Results: All 301 patients with Graves' disease were first diagnosed, with 74 (1.6@1000) males and 227 (4.1@1000) females. The total incidence was 3.0@1000, showing significant differences between ages and between occupations. Investigation of 18 associated factors for Graves' disease by using the logistic multivariate regression analysis showed the pathological factors of the virus infection history, psychological stimulation, food, drugs, family history, education and distribution.
Conclusion: This study may suggest the theoretical evidence for prevention and treatment of Graves' disease.

Objectives: This study aims to elucidate the microbial signatures associated with autoimmune diseases, particularly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), compared with colorectal cancer (CRC), to identify unique biomarkers and shared microbial mechanisms that could inform specific treatment protocols.
Methods: We analysed metagenomic datasets from patient cohorts with six autoimmune conditions-SLE, IBD, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Graves' disease and ankylosing spondylitis-contrasting these with CRC metagenomes to delineate disease-specific microbial profiles. The study focused on identifying predictive biomarkers from species profiles and functional genes, integrating protein-protein interaction analyses to explore effector-like proteins and their targets in key signalling pathways.

Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), an autoimmune disease closely related to thyroid dysfunction, remains a challenging ophthalmic condition among adults. Its clinical manifestations are complex and diverse, and disease progression can lead to exophthalmos, diplopia, exposure keratitis, corneal ulceration, and compressive optic neuropathy, resulting in irreversible vision damage or even blindness. Traditional treatment methods for TAO, including glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and radiation therapy, often have limitations and side effects, making this disease problematic in ophthalmology.

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with multisystemic involvement and unclear etiology. Although SLE could be linked to multiple neuropsychiatric manifestations, the co-occurrence of anorexia nervosa was only described through a few case reports that mainly affected children and adolescents.
Case Presentation: a 40-year-old Filipina woman presented to hospital with a 3-day history of agitation, anorexia and auditory hallucinations.

Background: It is known that subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) often converts to euthyroidism. However, the mechanism of such changes is unclear and can only be speculated. This difficulty is likely due to limitations in diagnostic guidelines and their interpretation.
