Background: Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) abnormalities have been associated with various cardiac arrhythmias. Effect of TSH abnormalities on mortality and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) behavior in patients with cardiomyopathy has not been investigated.
Methods: Our ICD database includes 1,445 patients between December 1997 and January 2008. TSH levels using the ultra sensitive assay were available in 371 patients. Patients were classified based on TSH levels as: High TSH (N = 102, TSH > 5) and Low TSH (N = 26, TSH < 0.4). TSH groups were compared for mortality, appropriate and inappropriate ICD therapies.
Results: A high or low TSH was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality: Hazard ratio (HR) 1.46 (95% CI 1.03-2.08), P = 0.033 and HR 1.76 (95% confidence interval 1.02-3.03), P = 0.043 respectively. TSH abnormalities were not associated with an increased incidence in appropriate or inappropriate ICD therapy.
Conclusion: A low or high TSH was associated with a higher mortality; however, neither were associated with appropriate or inappropriate ICD therapy after multivariate analysis. Univariate analysis demonstrated an association of high TSH and appropriate ICD therapy. However, multivariate analysis did not show this association. Therefore, we are concluding that TSH levels are predictors of all-cause mortality but not ICD therapy.

Objective: To analyse the associations between renal function and clinical laboratory indicators and explore the renal function abnormality risk factors for gout patients in Southwest China.
Methods: Outpatient and hospitalized gout patients ( = 4384) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College between January 2017 and December 2020 were divided into normal ( = 2393) and abnormal ( = 1991) renal function groups according to their eGFR. The relationships between clinical laboratory indicators and the eGFR were analysed, and a logistic regression model was fit to identify significant risk factors.

Objective: Successful embryo implantation is contingent upon the intricate interaction between the endometrium and the blastocyst. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) signifies the clinical challenge of failing pregnancy post-transfer of high-quality embryos, fresh or frozen, in at least three in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, often in women under 40 years. Recent studies identify impaired blastocyst maternal tissue communication among recurrent implantation failure causes.

To investigate the regulatory mechanism mediated by hypothalamic OPN5 on seasonal changes in the reproductive activities of domestic geese, 60 Magang ganders in their breeding period were selected for the experiment and evenly divided into an immunization group(OPN5-IM) and a control group. On days 0, 15 and 30, ganders in the immunized group were immunized with OPN5-KLH protein vaccine, and ganders in the control were immunized with the same amount of blank emulsified vaccine. Additionally, 120 female geese were provided to stimulate the reproductive activities of male geese.
