In this paper, thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene mutation was studied in a congenital hypothyroidism (CH) family with 2 patients, to explore the mechanism of c. 2268dupT homozygous mutation leading to thyroid nodules, as well as the relationship between TPO gene mutation and thyroid cancer. The result suggested that TPO gene mutation is one of the reasons for congenital hypothyroidism, TPO gene c. 2268 dupT mutations can lead to thyroid nodules, which may be related to long-term high TSH stimulation and truncated protein accumulation. TPO gene mutations have a certain correlation with thyroid cancer, the risk may increase with the increase of age, but the mechanism is not clear at present. In the future, further research on the correlation and mechanism between the two factors is needed, as well as to determine whether it is necessary to remove the thyroid gland to prevent the accarance of cancer in CH patients with TPO gene mutation with thyroid nodules.

Objective:
To explore whether Integrated Early Childhood Development (IECD) program has effectively improved the nurturing care for children aged 0-35 months in rural China.
Methods:
IECD has been implemented by the government of China with support from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in four poverty-stricken rural counties since 2014. The interventions targeting the five key components of nurturing care (i.e. child and caregiver health, child nutrition, early learning support, child protection and social security) were delivered through the IECD program to children aged 0 to 35 months and their caregivers. A population-based intervention trial was designed to evaluate intervention effectiveness with data collected in 2013 (baseline) and 2016 (mid-term). The changes of nurturing care in the intervention and control group were analyzed by using a difference-in-differences (DID) model. This approach provided adjustment for sociodemographic and other confounding factors.
Results:
The baseline and mid-term survey enrolled 1 468 and 1 384 children in the intervention group, and 1 485 and 1 361 in the control group. After two years of implementation, the prevalence of caregiver's depression in the intervention group showed a decrease of 9.1% (mid-term 34.8% (479/1 377)
