Please read the following information carefully. If you have fully understood the study, have no further questions, and decide to participate, you will need to sign an informed consent form. 1. Study Background Thyroid cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the endocrine system, with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) accounting for over 95% of cases. The initial treatment phase typically refers to the first year after patients undergo surgery, TSH suppression therapy, or radioactive iodine treatment. Studies have found that DTC patients may experience a variety of health-related issues during this stage. For instance, many patients not only suffer from neck discomfort and pain post-surgery but may also face risks of postoperative bleeding, nerve damage, reduced bone density, and other physical complications. They are more susceptible to anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and fear of recurrence. These psychological and physical symptoms can affect patients' ability to achieve target TSH levels, which is crucial for their prognosis. Therefore, this study aims to design an intervention plan for the psychosomatic symptoms of DTC patients in the initial treatment phase to improve their physiological discomfort and negative psychological experiences, enhance their self-management efficacy, and promote TSH suppression therapy compliance and overall health. 2. Study Objectives - To explore the impact of the psychosomatic symptom intervention plan on TSH levels, anxiety, depression, and self-management efficacy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer during the initial treatment phase. - To provide a basis for improving the physical and mental health of DTC patients in the initial treatment phase. 3. Study Design and Process This study targets patients with differentiated thyroid cancer in the initial treatment phase. Participants will be divided into an intervention group and a control group using a block randomization method. The effectiveness of the plan will be tested through a 3-month intervention in a randomized controlled trial. Data collection points are baseline, at the end of the intervention, and 3 months post-intervention. The primary outcome measure is TSH levels, with secondary outcomes including anxiety, depression, and self-management efficacy. This could provide a basis for formulating scientifically sound health service policies, rational allocation and utilization of health resources, reducing the burden of medical services, and establishing a fair and efficient healthcare system. 4. Potential Benefits and Risks We will provide necessary advice for your current concerns and offer information related to differentiated thyroid cancer. Should you experience any discomfort during the study, please provide feedback to the medical staff in the research team promptly.

This project aims to establish the MERCURY pilot screening program as part of the "Love Lung Project," employing a novel concept of lung cancer screening with the assistance of low-dose computer tomography (LDCT). By using clinical pathology as the gold standard, it will parallelly compare the performance (with a sensitivity of ≥90%) of the MERCURY early lung cancer screening model against the LDCT-only screening group within the "Love Lung Project." Ultimately, the objective is to reduce the proportion of overtreatment, achieve earlier staging, and extend patient survival, thus enhancing clinical value.
The results of previous studies were used to assess the causal association between TK levels and stroke occurrence at 5 and 12 years of follow-up, respectively.

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have diabetic macular edema. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a diabetes-related eye disorder. In DME, the macula, which is the central part of the retina at the back of the eye, swells up resulting in vision problems. This happens due to leakage of fluid from damaged blood vessels. The study treatment, 8 milligram (mg) aflibercept is injected into the eye. It works by blocking a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which causes abnormal growth and leakage of blood vessels at the back of the eye. A lower dose of aflibercept (2 mg) is already approved for the treatment of DME. Based on the findings of another study, the higher dose of aflibercept (8 mg) is expected to reduce the frequency of injections required for treating DME while being equally safe and working as well as the lower dose. The higher dose could make it easier to treat DME and improve quality of life for people with DME. The main purpose of this study is to learn if high-dose (8 mg) aflibercept given every 16 weeks works as well as low-dose (2 mg) aflibercept given every 8 weeks in Chinese participants. For this, the researchers will compare the change in participants' 'best corrected visual acuity' (BCVA) after 48 weeks of starting the treatment. BCVA is the clearest vision a participant can have with the help of corrective lenses, such as glasses. It will be measured by the number of letters the participant can read on an eye chart. This is known as their Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter score. Participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to one of two treatment groups to receive study treatment as an injection into the eye up to Week 56: - 2 mg aflibercept every 8 weeks after receiving 5 initial monthly doses - 8 mg aflibercept every 16 weeks after receiving 3 initial monthly doses Each participant will be in the study for around 63 weeks with up to 18 visits to the study site. This includes: - one visit up to 21 days before the treatment starts during which the doctors will confirm that the participant can take part in the study - 16 visits during which the treatment will be given. Most of these visits will have a gap of 4 weeks except for one visit that will happen a few days after the previous visit - one visit 4 weeks after the treatment ends During the study, the doctors and their study team will: - check the participants' vision and their overall eye health using different eye tests - check participants' health by performing tests such as blood and urine tests - ask the participants questions about the disease and study treatment and how these impact their quality of life - ask the participants what adverse events they are having An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective of whether they think they are related to the study treatment. Access to study treatment after the end of this study is not planned. Participants can switch to available approved treatments for DME.
With the implementation of China's two-child policy and a marked increase in adverse pregnancy outcomes, leveraging electronic health records (EHR) to enhance maternal and child healthcare and outcomes in China has emerged as a novel strategy to tackle this pivotal demographic and health challenge. Given the mature construction of the information platform and the well-established maternal and child health service system in Ningbo, this study utilized the Ningbo Maternal and Child Health Electronic Monitoring Information Management System and the Ningbo Regional Health Information Platform to conduct the Ningbo maternity-child linked database study (MATCHLESS), which involved over 300,000 mother-child pairs in China. MATCHLESS not only allows for longitudinal follow-up of pregnant women and their offspring but also expands its scope from prenatal exposure to long-term outcomes through data linkage. The longitudinal scope of MATCHLESS facilitates the elucidation of the relationship and etiological significance of early-life exposures and adverse pregnancy outcomes. It also permits the exploration of the health trajectory of women and children over their life-course. During the past 5 years (October 2016 to December 2021), a substantial amount of maternal and child health data has been recorded in MATCHLESS, including socio-demographics, health care services and medications, as well as clinical outcome events. Additionally, it contains longitudinal measurements on risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes, which provides a robust foundation for future real-world studies of dynamic predictive models. This study was approved by the Ethics Review Committee of the Ningbo University Health Science Center. Considering the safety, privacy, and confidentiality concerns surrounding the storage and processing of personal EHR data, the responsibility for data storage and management is undertaken by the Health Commission of Ningbo. Researchers are required to submit applications to the local health department, and all studies undergo ethical review and research registration procedures to access EHR data for health research purposes.
