Analysis of screening results of urban cancer early diagnosis and treatment project in Taiyuan City in 2020 / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective:To analyze the screening results of urban cancer early diagnosis and early treatment project in Taiyuan City in 2020.Methods:Based on the method of cluster sampling, taking the urban community of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province as the research site, all permanent residents aged 45-74 years (with local household registration and living in the local area for over 3 years) from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected. The cancer patients with confirmed diagnosis and those with severe medical and surgery diseases receiving treatment were excluded. The basic data and risk factors of the population were collected through questionnaires and the screening results were obtained from clinical screening in the project hospitals, and then the high risk rate of cancer, the detection rate of positive lesions, and the detection rate of suspected cases were calculated.Results:A total of 5 878 people participated in the screening of cancer early diagnosis and early treatment project. Among them, a total of 3 003 people (51.09%) were evaluated as a high-risk group of cancer. The sequence from low to high of positive detection rates of different cancers was listed as follow: liver cancer (3.87%, 21/542), upper gastrointestinal cancer (13.88%, 78/562), colorectal cancer (15.78%, 71/450), breast cancer (25.79%, 122/473), and lung cancer (54.92%, 536/976). Among them, the detection rate of positive lesions of lung cancer and liver cancer in males was higher than that in females, while the detection rate of positive lesions of the remaining cancer types in males was lower than that in females. The detection rates of suspected cases of various cancer types from low to high were listed as follow: liver cancer (0, 0/542), upper gastrointestinal cancer (0.55%, 3/562), lung cancer (0.71%, 7/976), breast cancer (2.75%, 13/473) and colorectal cancer (3.11%, 14/450). Among them, the detection rate of suspected cases of lung cancer in males was higher than that in females, and the detection rate of suspected cases of upper gastrointestinal cancer and colorectal cancer in males was lower than that in females.Conclusions:In the process of carrying out the project of early diagnosis and early treatment of cancer in Taiyuan in 2020, the public participation enthusiasm and compliance are good, but the detection rate of positive lesions and suspected cases are at a high level. The prevention and control of cancer cannot be ignored. Further publicity and education should be done, and more reasonable screening methods should be explored, so as to better improve the effect of cancer screening.

Analysis of risk assessment and screening results of lung cancer among residents in 3 cities of Shanxi Province from 2014 to 2018 / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective:To investigate the risk of lung cancer and screening results of residents in 3 cities of Shanxi Province from 2014 to 2018.Methods:Cluster random sampling method was used to select permanent residents from 3 cities (Taiyuan, Jincheng and Yangquan) in Shanxi Province from January 2014 to December 2018 for lung cancer risk assessment. People at high risk of lung cancer were screened by low-dose spiral CT. The screening results were analyzed and the influencing factors of lung cancer occurrence were analyzed by unconditional logistic regression.Results:184 539 people were included in the survey, and 36 790 people (19.94%) were at high risk of lung cancer. The detection rate of high-risk of lung cancer in men was higher than that in women [29.76% (25 690/184 539) vs. 11.30% (1 100/184 539), χ2 = 10.44, P = 0.001]. A total of 12 660 people (34.41%) at high risk of lung cancer participated in clinical screening, and 3 038 people (24.00%) were positive in clinical screening for lung cancer. There were no statistical differences in the positive rate of clinical screening among people at high risk of lung cancer with different gender, nationality, education, marital status, occupation, history of harmful substance exposure, coal burning, clean heating, indoor oil fumes, and history of pulmonary tuberculosis (all P > 0.05). There were statistical differences in the positive rate of clinical screening among people at high risk of lung cancer with different age, smoking, drinking, drinking tea, physical exercise, exposure time of second-hand smoke, living environment air pollution, history of emphysema, history of pneumoconiosis, family history of lung cancer, mental depression, and history of trauma (all P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥ 50 years old, smoking, exposure to second-hand smoke for 1-14 years, living environment air pollution, history of emphysema, family history of lung cancer, and mental depression were the risk factors for positive clinical screening in people at high risk of lung cancer (all P < 0.05), and physical exercise was the protective factor for positive clinical screening in people at high risk of lung cancer ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The screening rate of people at high risk of lung cancer in 3 cities of Shanxi Province needs to be improved. The detection rate of intrapulmonary nodules in people at high risk of lung cancer is mainly affected by age, smoking, exposure time of second-hand smoke, family history of lung cancer, history of emphysema and other factors.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic integral pelvic floor/ligament repair (IPFLR) combined with a procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) and that laparoscopic IPFLR alone in the treatment of internal rectal prolapse (IRP) in women.Methods:Patients were divided into groups A in which 63 patients undergoing laparoscopic IPFLR alone, and group B of 67 patients reciving laparoscopic IPFLR combined with PPH. The degree of internal rectal prolapse (DIRP), Wexner constipation scale (WCS) score, Wexner incontinence scale (WIS) score, and Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) score were compared between these two groups and in each group those before surgery and 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years after surgery.Results:The number of bowel movements , DIRP, WCS score, WIS score, and GIQLI score before surgery were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). The DIRP, WCS score, WIS score, and GIQLI score in each group 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years after surgery in both two groups were significantly better than those before surgery (all P<0.001). The DIRP, WCS score, WIS score, and GIQLI score in group B were significantly better than those in group A at 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years after surgery (all P<0.05) except DIRP at 2 years after surgery (all P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the recurrence rate of IRP between the two groups when evaluated at 5 years after surgery ( P=0.001). Conclusions:Integral theory-guided laparoscopic IPFLR combined with PPH has a higher cure rate and a better clinical efficacy than laparoscopic IPFLR alone.

Analysis of lung cancer incidence and death in the cancer registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2017 / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective:To investigate the incidence and mortality of lung cancer in the cancer registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2017.Methods:The cancer registration data reported by 12 tumor registration areas of Shanxi in 2017 were sorted out and stratified by urban and rural areas and gender. The number of incidence and death ,the crude incidence and mortality, the cumulative rate (0-74 years), age-specific incidence and mortality, Chinese population standardized rate and world population standardized rate were calculated. The incidence and mortality were standardized by the 2000 China census standard population composition and Segi's world standard population composition.Results:In 2017, there were 2 275 new cases and 1 736 deaths of lung cancer in the tumor registration area of Shanxi Province. The crude incidence rate of lung cancer was 46.72/100 000 (male 63.99/100 000, female 28.80/100 000, urban area 58.05/100 000, rural area 39.09/100 000), Chinese population standardized rate was 31.67/100 000, the world population standardized rate was 32.10/100 000, and the cumulative rate (0-74 years) was 3.87/100 000. The crude mortality rate was 35.65/100,000 (male 49.84/100,000, female 20.93/100,000, urban area 44.53/100,000, rural area 29.67/100 000), Chinese population standardized rate was 23.82/100 000, the world population standardized rate was 24.14/100 000, and the cumulative rate (0-74 years) was 2.69/100,000. Overall, the age-specific incidence and mortality of lung cancer in 2017 were at a low level in 0-44 years age group, and increased rapidly after 45 years age group, and reached a peak in 85 years age group. The incidence and mortality of lung cancer in males were higher than that in females. Although there were some differences in the incidence and mortality of patients with different ago range in urban and rural areas, the overall trend was similar.Conclusions:Lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor threatening the health of residents in Shanxi Province. Male, urban areas and middle-aged and elderly population are the focus of cancer prevention and control in Shanxi Province. Lung cancer prevention and control should be targeted carried out according to the differences between urban and rural areas and gender.

Pharmacoeconomic Evaluation of Pembrolizumab in First-line Treatment of Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer with High PD-L 1 Expression / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE：To ev aluate the economics of pembrolizumab versus first-line chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer with high programmed cell death protein ligand 1（PD-L1）expression from the perspective of Chinese healthcare system. METHODS ：Published KEYNOTE- 042 clinical trial data and relevant literature data were used to establish a Markov model to evaluate the economics of pembrolizumab versus first-line chemotherapy with a 20-years horizon and a 3-week cycle length ，discounting costs and utilities using a discount rate of 5％. One-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were used to evaluate the stability of the model results. RESULTS ：The base-case results showed that pembrolizumab yield additional 1.62 QALYs more than first-line chemotherapy ，with an incremental cost of 54 648 yuan；the incremental cost-utility ratio was 33 686 yuan/QALY，which was lower than the willingness-to-pay threshold （WTP）in China. The results of one-way sensitivity analysis showed that the price of nivolumab ，the price of pembrolizumab and the proportion of patients who received second-line immunotherapy in first-line chemotherapy group had the greatest impact on the results. The results of probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed that the probability of pembrolizumab to be cost-effective gradually increased within the WTP of 0-140 000/QALY. When WTP was 70 892 yuan/QALY（one time of the per capita GDP of China in 2019），the probability of pembrolizumab to be cost-effective was 95％. When WTP beyond 100 000 yuan/QALY，the probability of pembrolizumab to be cost-effective was 100％. CONCLUSIONS ：Pembrolizumab has economic advantages than first-line chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with high PD-L 1 expression in China.

Correlation between Acute Drug-induced Liver and Kidney Injury and HD-MTX Blood Concentration in Patients with Osteosarcoma / 中国药师

Objective: To analyze the correlation between HD-MTX blood concentration and acute drug-induced liver and kidney injury in the patients with osteosarcoma, and investigate the significance of HD-MTX concentration in the monitoring of liver and kidney toxicity. Methods: A total of 56 osteosarcoma patients treated with HD-MTX were selected, and after HD-MTX treatment, the blood concentration of MTX was detected by an HPLC-UV method in 48 h and 72 h after the administration. The liver and kidney function were measured at the same time. The correlation between the different concentrations of MTX and the change of liver and kidney func-tion was analyzed. Results: All the patients were monitored MTX blood concentration at different time points. After the 48-hour HD-MTX treatment, 4 patients (7. 14% ) were with acute drug-induced liver injury and 13 patients (23. 21% ) showed drug-induced kid-ney injury. The average C48hof liver injury was (2.90 ±0.78) μmol·L-1, and the average C48hof kidney injury was (1.65 ±1.12) μmol·L-1. After the 72-hour HD-MTX treatment, 7 patients ( 12. 50% ) were with drug-induced liver injury and 16 patients (28.57%) showed drug-induced kidney injury. The average C72hof liver injury was (0.30 ±0.17) μmol·L-1, while the average C48hof kidney injury was (0. 29 ± 0. 29) μmol·L-1. The function indices of liver ( ALT, ALP and TBIL) and kidney ( SCr) were significantly higher than those in the normal group (P<0. 05), and the blood concentration of MTX was partly significantly correlated with those indicators. Conclusion: There is a certain correlation between MTX induced injury and the blood drug concentration at par-ticular points, and C48hmay be more valuable to predict drug-induced liver and kidney injury.

The relationship between smoking and hyperuricemia in Chinese residents / 中华预防医学杂志

Objective@#To explore the relationship between smoking and hyperuricemia in Chinese residents.@*Methods@#Based on data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), residents with blood samples provided in the 2009 round (including information of socio-demographic factors, lifestyle behaviors, medical history, and laboratory examinations etc.) were selected as the participants in the current analysis. Unconditional logistic regression models were utilized to compute the ORs and corresponding 95%CIs for assessing the relationship between smoking and hyperuricemia.@*Results@#Among the 8 785 subjects, 1 435 had hyperuricemia with a prevalence rate of 16.3%, consisting of 886 men and 549 women with prevalence rates of 21.6% (886/4 110) and 11.7% (549/4 675) , respectively. Compared with never smokers, the adjusted OR (95%CI) for hyperuricemia was 0.83 (0.70-0.98) among current smokers, 0.77 (0.63-0.94) among current smokers with 20-39 years of smoking, and 0.79 (0.65-0.97) among current smokers with 11-20 cigarettes per day. When stratified by gender and compared with non-smoker, the adjusted OR (95%CI) for hyperuricemia among current smokers compared with never smokers was 0.83 (0.70-0.98) among men, while no significant association was found in female current smokers (OR=0.73, 95%CI: 0.42-1.26, P=0.260).@*Conclusion@#In Chinese residents, there is an inverse association between smoking and hyperuricemia prevalence, and this association may be related to duration and intensity of smoking among current smokers. The findings need to be validated in large prospective cohort studies.

Correlation between Liver and Kidney Toxicity and Cyclosporin A Blood Concentration in 1236 Samples of Patients with Aplastic Anemia / 中国药师

Objective:To analyze the correlation between cyclosporin A blood concentration and drug-induced liver and kidney in-jury in the patients with aplastic anemia, investigate the significance of cyclosporin A concentration in the monitoring of liver and kidney toxicity, and provide theoretical basis for clinical individualized drug use. Methods:A total of 149 patients with aplastic anemia trea-ted with cyclosporin A as the main therapeutic drug were selected, and after 3-day treatment, the blood concentration of cyclosporin A was detected by an HPLC-UV method 10 minutes before the administration and 2 hours after the administration. The liver and kidney function were measured at the same time. The correlation between the different concentration of cyclosporine A and the change of liver and kidney function was analyzed. Results:All the patients were monitored cyclosporine A blood concentration with 1236 samples, and 34 patients (22. 82%) were with drug-induced liver injury and 51 patients (34. 23%) showed drug-induced kidney toxicity. The average C0 of liver injury patients was (297. 92 ± 74. 14) μg·L-1 , and C2 was (944. 47 ± 148. 47) μg·L-1 , while the average C0 of kidney injury patients was (311. 41 ± 52. 80)μg·L-1, and C2 was (926. 25 ± 136. 02) μg·L-1. The function indices of liver (ALT, AST, TBIL) and kidney (SC, BUN, UA) were significantly higher than those in the normal group (P<0. 05), and the blood concentration of cyclosporin A was significantly correlated with the liver,and kidney function. Conclusion:There is a certain correla-tion between cyclosporine A -induced toxicity and its blood concentration and C2 may be a more valuable predictor for drug -induced liver injury.
