The Fukushima nuclear accident happened in 2011.This article introduced the recent studies about thyroid dose estimation,incidence of thyroid nodule,thyroid cyst and thyroid cancer in the children in Fukushima prefecture after the accident.The results suggested that the incidence of thyroid nodule and thyroid cyst had no significant increase.Nevertheless,the present research noted that the incidence of thyroid cancer was obviously higher than that in other areas in Japan,but high incidence may be due to the choice of the control group or the screening effect.Meanwhile,the contribution of 132Te to the thyroid dose and the incidence of thyroid cancer might not be ignored.The continuous monitoring before and after the operation of the nuclear power plant and the health evaculation after the accident are of importance.

The nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key protein of endogenous antioxidant defense systems in the body. In response to oxidative stress, Nrf2 translocates to nucleus and binds to antioxidant response elements (ARE), regulating the expression of a large amounts of antioxidant genes and maintaining a proper redox balance. The pathological processes of neurodegenerative diseases are associated with generation of reactive oxygen species, which cause oxidative stress. Oxidative stress plays a cardinal role in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Nrf2-inducer compounds can reduce oxidant stress and have shown therapeutic efficacy in many neurodegenerative disease models. How to activate the Nrf2 signaling pathway effectively has been received much attention. Here we provided an overview of specific mechanism of Nrf2-ARE pathway and the protective effects of Nrf2 in different neurodegenerative diseases, and summarized the Nrf2 activators recently in preclinical study.

Alzheimer’ s disease ( AD) , the most prevalent type of neurodegenerative disease, characterized by extracellular β-amyloid ( Aβ) plaque deposition, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, and the loss of diverse neurons. Neuron loss might be the main cause that induces irreversible decline of cognitive function in AD patients. At present, AD therapy only relieves symptoms instead of fundamentally affecting the major pathologi-cal characteristics of the disease. Recently, rapid advances in neurogenesis and stem-cell biology have provided a new and pro-spective potential for AD treatment. Stem-cell types in the treat-ment of neurodegenerative diseases include neural stem cells ( NSCs ) , embryonic stem cells ( ESCs ) , mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs ) , and induced pluripotent stem cells ( iPSCs ) . Stem cell therapy shows anti-AD function by replacing the dam-aged and lost neurons, rebuilding the cellular loop, inhibiting amyloidogenesis, promoting neurotrophic factor release, and reg-ulating immune reaction. This review highlights the recent pro-gress, mechanisms, and preclinical evidence of exogenous trans-planted stem cell, and addresses the current major challenges of stem cell transplantation in clinic. In addition, this review also summarizes the research status of compound promoting endoge-nous neurogenesis in brief.
