Incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province / 预防医学

Objective@#To understand the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in tumor registration areas of Zhejiang Province,and to provide reference for prevention and control strategies for colorectal cancer.@*Methods@#The colorectal cancer data was retrieved from fourteen tumor registries in Zhejiang Province were collected,the incidence rate and mortality rate were calculated and standardized according to the Chinese standard population in 2010 and Segi's world population in 2000. The incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in different sex,age group and region were analyzed.@*Results@#The crude incidence rate of colorectal cancer from 2010 to 2014 was 35.82/100 000（20 983 cases）. The standardized incidence rate by Chinese and world standard population were 20.80/100 000 and 23.01/100 000. The crude mortality rate of colorectal cancer was 15.25/100 000 （8 934 cases）. The standardized mortality rate by Chinese and world standard population were 8.01/100 000 and 9.39/100 000. The ratio of mortality to incidence was 0.43:1. From 2010 to 2014,the incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer were stable（P>0.05）. The incidence rates of colorectal cancer in urban and rural residents were 37.69/100 000 and 31.14/100 000,and the mortality rates were 15.73/100 000 and 14.05/100 000. The incidence rates of colorectal cancer in males and females were 41.53/100 000 and 30.11/100 000,and the mortality rates were 17.74/100 000 and 12.76/100 000. The incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer both increased with age. The incidence rate increased significantly in people after 40 years old,and peaked with 187.35/100 000 in people aged 80-84 years. The morbidity rate peaked with 171.27/100 000 in people aged 85 years or over. @*Conclusion@#The incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province were stable,but the incidence was higher than the national average level. The incidence of colorectal cancer in people aged over 40 years increased significantly.

ADC and eADC values predict microvascular invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma in MRI examinaton / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective To evaluate preoperative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and exponential apparent diffusion coefficient (eADC) in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) on microvascular invasion (MVI) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods We retrospectively reviewed 43 HCC patients with DWI data confirmed by surgery and pathology.ADC and eADC values were measured both in neoplasm and hepatic tissue,the ratio of tumor to liver (T/L) on ADC and eADC was calculated.The correlation between MVI and ADC value,T/L of ADC value,eADC value and T/L of eADC value was analysed,the best cut-off value of variables was analysed by ROC curve,multi factor analysis was carried out by Logistic regression model.Results The ADC value,T/L of ADC,eADC value and T/L of eADC were (1.458 ± 0.444) × 10-3 mm2/s,0.787 ± 0.186,0.289 ± 0.144 and 1.383 (1.179,1.655),respectively.Among them,the positive MVI group were (1.232 ± 0.480) × 10-3 mm2/s,0.683 ± 0.229,0.323 ±0.123 and 1.630(1.387,2.066),respectively.The negative MVI group were(1.545 ±0.404) × 10-3mm2/s,0.844 ±0.149,0.277 ±0.152 and 1.303(1.176,1.545),respectively.There was significant difference in ADC value,T/L of ADC value and T/L of eADC value (t =2.164,2.654,z =-2.058,all P ＜0.05),the area under the ROC curve were (1.085 × 10-3) mm2/s,0.685 and 1.475 using MVI as a diagnostic standard.Multivariate analysis showed that T/L of ADC value was an independent factor affecting MVI of HCC (OR=0.002,95％CI:1.380E-5-0.311,P＜0.05).Conclusions The ADC value in HCC patients with positive MVI is lower than in HCC patients with negative MVI,T/L of eADC value is higher than in HCC patients with negative MVI,and T/L of ADC value is an independent factor predicticing MVI of HCC.

Determination of Stable Silicon Isotopes Using Multi-Collector Inductive Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry / 分析化学

An instrumental analysis method for the determination of stable silicon isotope ratio using multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry ( MC-ICP-MS) was established. In dry plasma mode, silicon isotopes suffered from the spectrum polyatomic interferences of C, N, O, H at medium resolution. The sample gas flow had significant effect on the silicon sensitivity and signal stability. Besides, higher sample gas flow lead to higher production of 14N16O. Consistent δ29Si and δ30Si within 0. 04‰ (1σ) could be obtained over a mass range of ca. 9 milli-amu at the lower mass side of silicon at medium resolution. The analyte concentrations of the sample and reference material were matched within 20% to avoid concentration effect on the determination of silicon isotopes using standard-sample-bracketing correction method. The measurements were not sensitive to the acid molarity and Cl matrix. An internal precision of less than 8×10-6(1σ) could be achieved for 29 Si/ 28 Si and 30 Si/ 28 Si by taking an integration time of 8 seconds. The long-term reproducibility of 0 . 06‰-0 . 10‰ ( 2σ, n=20 ) was obtained for δ29 Si and δ30 Si by repeating the analysis of the silicon reference materials, whilst the determined isotopic value for GBW04421 and GBW04422 were in good agreement with the recommended data, suggesting the precision and robustness of this method. The measured silicon isotopic values of fresh waters ( river and lake waters ) , saline waters and seawater demonstrated the capability of applying this method to trace the biogeochemical processes of silicon in natural waters.

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN BREAST CANCER AND DIET / 营养学报

In order to explore the effects of diet and nutritional factors on breast cancer incidence, a case-control study was conducted in Tianjin. The study consisted of 244 cases diagnosed between September 1986 and September 1987 and equal number of matched controls from patients other than breast cancer in general hospital.The socio-demographic data, histories of menstruation and reproduction etc were collected by interview. The interview on diet was conducted by recalling the frequencies and amounts of various foods eaten one year prior to the diagnosis' of their current diseases. Data were analysed by using a nutrient-estimate program and conditional logistic regression model, chi square test and u-test.After adjusting for confounding factors, the results showed that high fat, high calorie, high monounsaturated fatty acid and low vitamin C intakes were risk factors for female breast cancer. High fat percentage of energy and low vegetable intake were associated with increased risk for breast cancer.
