Progress in the pathogenesis of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy and new drug development
Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is the most common extrathyroidal manifestation of toxic diffuse goiter (Graves' disease), also known as Graves' ophthalmopathy/orbitopathy. As an organ-specific autoimmune disease, the pathogenesis of TAO is still

Postural variation of exophthalmometry in Graves′ ophthalmopathy
30 patients with Graves′ ophthalmopathy were subjected to exophthalmometry in the upright and supine positions to determine if the difference in exophthalmometer readings in these two situations are significantly different and would help in ...

An Allosteric Strategy for Thyroid Eye Disease This illustration depicts an aptamer (purple) binding to the target protein (white) at an allosteric site. This strategic binding induces a conformational change that acts as a shield, preventing pathogenic autoantibodies (red) from initiating the disease cascade, while leaving the protein's normal ...

Background Xiehuo Pingtu San (XHPTS) has been shown to be safe and effective in treating thyroid eye disease (TED), yet its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the active ingredients of XHPTS and their therapeutic mechanisms in TED through network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations ...

Purpose The conversion rate of ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) to generalized myasthenia gravis (GMG) lacks definitive predictors. Methods This retrospective cohort study analyzed data collected at Siriraj Hospital between January 2007 and December 2019 to identify factors influencing OMG generalization and the time to conversion. The records of 200 OMG

This study elucidates macrophage‐induced orbital fibrosis in TED via the GAS6‐AXL pathway, a treatment‐resistant disorder lacking non‐surgical therapies. Using a novel patient cell‐derived orthotopic animal model of orbital fibrosis for TED, we repurpose an existing fibrosis therapy, addressing the absence of stable models and offering a potential ...
