RESUMO
Objective@#To estimate the incidence and mortality of laryngeal cancer in China based on the cancer registration data in 2014, collected by the National Central Cancer Registry (NCCR), and to provide support data for the control and prevention of laryngeal cancer.@*Methods@#The incident and death data of laryngeal cancer in 2014 from 339 cancer registries met the quality criteria of NCCR, and then adopted for analysis. The incident and death number, crude rate, age standardized rate, truncated rate and proportion which stratified by areas (urban/rural) and age were calculated. The nationwide incidence and mortality of laryngeal cancer in 2014 were estimated by combining with those data on national population in 2014. Chinese population census in 2000 and Segi′s population were used for age-standardized incidence/mortality rates.@*Results@#It was estimates that 23.4 thousand new cases of laryngeal cancer occurred in China in 2014. There were 20.8 thousand males and 2.6 thousand females. And 14.5 thousand occurred in urban areas, while 8.9 thousand in rural areas. The age standardized rates of incidence by world standard population (ASRs world) in male, female and both genders were 2.05/100, 000, 0.24/100, 000 and 1.14/100, 000, respectively, whereas those were 1.22/100, 000 and 1.03/100, 000 for urban and rural areas. The incidence was much higher in males than females, and slightly higher in urban areas than those in rural areas. Moreover, it was estimates that 13.2 thousand death cases of laryngeal cancer occurred in China in 2014. There were 11.5 thousand males and 1.7 thousand females. And 7.8 thousand occurred in urban areas, while 5.4 thousand in rural areas. The age standardized rates of mortality by ASRs world in male, female and both genders were 1.08/100, 000, 0.14/100, 000 and 0.60/100, 000, respectively, whereas those were 0.60/100, 000 and 0.59/100, 000 for urban and rural areas. The mortality was much higher in males than females, and slightly higher in urban areas than those in rural areas. In males, the age specific incidence and mortality of laryngeal cancer increased greatly from 40-44 and 45-44 years old, respectively, and peaked at age group of 75-79 and >85 years old. In females, the age specific incidence and mortality increased slowly from 50-54 and 60-64 years old, respectively, and peaked at age group of 80-84 and >85 years old. The trends remained similar in urban and rural areas, except for the different peak ages.@*Conclusions@#The incidence and mortality of laryngeal cancer in China are at middle-low levels worldwide, and there are obvious differences between urban and rural areas with distinct gender disparity. Comprehensive prevention and control strategies should be carried out according to local status and age groups.
RESUMO
Background and purpose:Zhongshan City is one of the areas with the highest NPC incidence worldwide and nationwide. Although its incidence rate had been analyzed thoroughly, but its mortality rate was not studied further until now. This study was to explore NPC mortality status in Zhongshan City from 1970 to 2010, and to provide scientiifc information for its control and prevention.Methods:NPC death data in Zhongshan City from 1970 to 2010 came from Zhongshan Cancer Registry Ofifce. Such indices as its death number, crude rate, age standardized rate (ASR) and truncated rate etc were calculated and analyzed. Results:There were 5 267 NPC death cases in Zhongshan City from 1970 to 2010, its crude world ASR and truncated rates were 11.03/105, 12.34/105 and 29.31/105 respectively. Its world ASRs increased before 1999 but no statistical signiifcance (P=0.64) and decreased thereafter with obvious statistical signiifcance (P=0.001). But overall, there were a decreasing trend for its ASRs (P=0.001) from 1970 to 2010 in Zhongshan City. Moreover, NPC mortality rate in male was remarkably higher than in female, the death peak age was 55-59 age group, and the different age groups were with different trends fro 1970 to 2010. Conclusion:Although with declining trend from 1970 to 2010, NPC mortality rate in Zhongshan City was at high level worldwide. It suggested that NPC control and prevention should be enhanced.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze corpus uteri epidemiology in selected cancer registering areas of China during 2003-2007,and to provide scientific information for its prevention and control in China.Methods The incident and mortality data of corpus uteri cancer in 32 cancer registering areas of China with better quality during 2003-2007,which were selected according to the criteria of and provided by National Center for Cancer Registration,were analyzed.Results There were 8850 new cases and 1559 death cases of corpus uteri cancer,which accounted for 2.96％ ( 8 850/299 306 ) of all female new cancer cases and 0.94％ ( 1 559/166 305) of all female cancer death cases,respectively.Corpus uteri cancer was the 9th most common cancer for all new female cancer cases which world age adjusted incidence rates was 5.04/105,and 19th most common cancer for all female cancer death cases which world age adjusted mortality rate was 0.83/105 in 32 selected cancer registering areas of China during 2003-2007.Zhongshan city,Guangzhou city in Guangdong province and Beijing were the areas with the highest incidence rates in which were 14.51/105,8.51/105 and 6.69/105,respectively.Zhongshan city in Guangdong province,Dafeng city in Jiangsu province and Feicheng city in Shandong province were the areas with the highest mortality rates,in which were 4.03/105,3.19/10s and 1.65/105 respectively during 2003-2007.There were increasing trends for its incidence rates in above 32 areas during 2003-2007,its world age adjusted incidence rates increased from 3.94/105 in 2003 to 5.56/105 in 2007 ( P =0.026 ),while its urban world age adjusted incidence rates increased from 4.57/105 in 2003 to 6.18/105 in 2007 (P =0.038),and rural rates increased from 1.74/105 in 2003 to 3.01/105 in 2007 ( P =0.013 ),and the results showed that urban areas obviously higher than rural areas ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Although there was a slow increasing trend for its world age adjusted mortality rates in above 32 areas during 2003-2007 which increased from 0.64/105 in 2003 to 0.87/105 in 2007 ( P =0.214 ),and from 0.66/105 in 2003 to 0.88/105 in 2007 in urban areas ( P =0.340 ),and from 0.57/105 in 2003 to 0.83/105 in 2007 in rural areas( P =0.070),while increasing trends without statistical significance.But mortality rates in urban areas were obviously higher than those of rural areas (P ＜0.01 ).Conclusions Although the world standardized incidence and mortality rates of corpus uteri cancer were at low level worldwide,there were increasing trends for its incidence rates during 2003-2007 in the 32 selected cancer registering areas of China.Moreover,its incidence and mortality rates were at high level worldwide in some areas such as Zhongshan city of Guangdong province and Dafeng city of Jiangsu province during the period,in which suggested that its prevention and control should be enhanced.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the role of activated T lymphocytes in the pathogenesis and effect of CD95 and bcl 2 expression on the development of alopecia areata. Methods The lymphocytes were isolated from the peripheral blood of the patients. Then CD4 +, CD8 +,and/or CD95 and bcl 2 positive lymphocytes were sorted out by flow cytometry . Results In the active stage of the disease, CD4 + lymphocytes decreased while CD8 + lymphocytes increased significantly. At the same time, the expression of bcl 2 was much more frequently detected in CD8 + lymphocytes than in CD4 +lymphocytes. CD95 expression was also increased markedly in T lymphocytes. Conclusions Down regulation of bcl 2 leads to the decrease in number of CD4 + lymphocytes. Meanwhile, CD8 + lymphocytes increased duo to the over expression of bcl 2. As a result , the ratio of CD4 + to CD8 +lymphocytes has dropped markedly and the cytotoxic effect of CD8 +lymphocytes on the hair follicles is enhanced. On the other hand, over expression of CD95 in T lymphocytes triggers cell apoptosis in the hair follicles. Both effects promote the development of alopecia areata . [
