Medullary thyroid cancer is a kind of rare malignancy arising from unregulated replication of parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland. Therapeutic approaches to patients with medullary thyroid cancer have their own features,which are different from those to patients with papillary thyroid cancer,the most com-mon type of thyroid cancer. The targeted therapy using tyrosine kinase inhibitors has brought new hope for the management of aggressive medullary thyroid cancer in recent years.

Objective To observe the effects of subretinal transplantation of rat mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs) on Sodium Iodate (SI)-induced retinal degeneration.Methods One hundred and twenty Brown-Norway (BN) rats were divided into three groups including SI injection group,rMSCs transplantation group and normal control group,each with 40 rats.The retinal degeneration was induced by caudal vein injection of SI.The retinal pigment epithelium(RPE)and neural retinal were evaluated by ocular fundus photograph,fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA),electroretinogram (ERG) and histological approach,and TUNEL(terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling).CM-Dilprelabeled primary rMSCs were transplanted into the subretinal space of Sl-induced rats.The survival,integration,and differentiation of rMSCs were observed between 14 day to 60 day after the transplantation.Results The rat retinal function was gradually reduced afterl4 days of SI injection,with a time-dependent manner.After the RPE cells were damaged,the outer segments of photoreceptors became disrupted and shortened until karyopyknosis.The nuclear morphology and positive TUNEL labeling indicated that the death of photoreceptor cells was apoptosis.After rMSCs transplantation,CM-DiI labeled donor cells were observed to be scattered in the subretinal space and expressed RPE cell markers.Average amplitude of bwave and Ops (oscillation potential) in ERG improved 27.80%,59.38% respectively after rMSCs transplantation.Conclusions Transplanted rMSCs can survive in subretinal space and differentiate into RPE cells,thus cure SI- induced retinal degeneration.

Objective To establish the median equation of second trimester Down′s syndrome (DS) screening maternal serum markers ,alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) ,in Xiangxi area and to investigate the influence of new median values on the local screening results .Methods The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA ) was applied to detect the serum AFP and HCG levels in 2619 second-trimester normal pregnant women ,the medians of AFP and HCG in each gestational week were calculated ,and the regression equation between gestational period and the medians of AFP and HCG were es-tablished by using the statistical software ,then the results were compared with the evaluation results of software built-in medians . Results Serum AFP level was positively correlated with the gestational week (P<0 .01) ,the HCG level was negatively correlated with the gestational week (P< 0 .01);the AFP and HCG levels were negatively correlated with the body weight of pregnant woman (P<0 .01) .Before correcting the body weight ,compared with software built-in human source serum markers ,the average levels of serum AFP and HCG in Xiangxi area increased by 6 .73% and 31 .54% respectively ,the differences were statistically sig-nificant ,after correcting the software ,the screening false positive rate was remarkably decreased .Conclusion The establishment of serum maker medians for second trimester pregnant woman in Xiangxi area can increase the efficiency of the second trimester DS screening ,thus effectively screens out the DS fetus in local area .

Using the concept and method of evidence-based medicine,the paper systematically analyzes the functions and shortage of intelligent health Application (App) in disease diagnosis,treatment and self-management,and describes the functions of health and disease management App,so as to promote the development of App and enable App to better assist in health management.
