[Effect of early rehabilitation training on motor function and neural function of patients with brainstem hemorrhage after body-oriented individualized surgery].

Objective: To explore the effect of early rehabilitation training on motor function and neural function of patients with brainstem hemorrhage after stereotactic individualized operation. Methods: A total of 84 patients with brainstem hemorrhage after stereotactic individualized surgery admitted to Nanyang Central Hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected as the study subjects.The patients were randomly divided into observation group (n=42) and control group (n=42) according to random number table method. The control group received conventional Western medicine treatment, and the observation group received early rehabilitation training on the basis of drug treatment in the control group. The motor function assessment [Fugl Meyer Assessment (FMA) scores], neural function [National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores], ability of daily living [Barthel index (BI) scores], cerebral blood flow [mean blood flow (MBF), mean flow velocity (MFV), peripheral vascular resistance (PVR)] and nerve factor [serum neuron specific enolase (NSE), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), central nervous specific protein(S100ß)] levels were compared between the two groups before and after the treatment. In addition, the rehabilitation effect and complications of the two groups were observed. Results: The total effective rate (95.24%) in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (76.19%%) (P<0.05). After the treatment, the FMA scores, BI scores, MBF, MFV and BDNF levels of the two groups were higher than those before the treatment, and the observation group were higher than the control group (P<0.05). NIHSS scores, PVR, NSE and S100ß levels in the two groups after the treatment were lower than those before the treatment, and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the observation group [7.14% (3/42)]was lower than that in the control group [23.81% (10/42), P<0.05]. Conclusion: For patients with brain stem hemorrhage after stereotactic individualized surgery, early rehabilitation training can improve the motor, neural function and daily living ability, rehabilitation effect, regulate cerebral hemodynamics and nerve factor levels, and reduce the incidence of complications.

[Comparison of risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke, a prospective long-term follow-up cohort study].

Objective: To analyze and compare the risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke and understand the exposure levels in population. Methods: A cohort study of risk factors of stroke was conducted in a rural community in Fengxian District of Shanghai in 2003, and the common risk factors of stroke were investigated at baseline survey, the cerebrovascular hemodynamics indexes were detected, the cerebrovascular function score was calculated according to the unified integral rule, and the incidence of stroke was observed in follow up. The risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke were analyzed by cohort study. The risk factors for two subtypes of stroke were compared. Result: A total of 10 565 participants were included in the study, with a mean follow-up period of (11.15±2.26) years, and 103 hemorrhagic stroke cases and 268 ischemic stroke cases were observed during follow-up period. The independent risk factors of hemorrhagic stroke included decreased cerebrovascular function score [hazard ratio (HR)=1.56, 95%CI: 1.23-1.98], history of alcohol consumption (HR=2.46, 95%CI: 1.39-4.34), hypertension (HR=1.75, 95%CI: 1.00-3.07) and older age (HR=1.07, 95%CI: 1.04-1.10). The independent risk factors of ischemic stroke included decreased cerebrovascular function score (HR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.25-1.65), smoking history (HR=1.52, 95%CI: 1.13-2.05), hypertension (HR=1.51, 95%CI: 1.10-2.07), family history of stroke (HR=1.89, 95%CI: 1.13-3.15), left ventricular hypertrophy (HR=1.74, 95%CI: 1.07-2.81) and older age (HR=1.07, 95%CI: 1.05-1.08). Conclusions: Decreased cerebrovascular function score, hypertension, and older age were common independent risk factors of both types of stroke, alcohol consumption history was an independent risk factor of hemorrhagic stroke, and smoking history, and family history of stroke and left ventricular hypertrophy were independent risk factors of ischemic stroke.

Octahedral Distortion and Displacement-Type Ferroelectricity with Switchable Photovoltaic Effect in a 3d

Because of the half-filled t_{2g}-electron configuration, the BO_{6} octahedral distortion in a 3d^{3} perovskite system is usually very limited. In this Letter, a perovskitelike oxide Hg_{0.75}Pb_{0.25}MnO_{3} (HPMO) with a 3d^{3} Mn^{4+} state was synthesized by using high pressure and high temperature methods. This compound exhibits an unusually large octahedral distortion enhanced by approximately 2 orders of magnitude compared with that observed in other 3d^{3} perovskite systems like RCr^{3+}O_{3} (R=rare earth). Essentially different from centrosymmetric HgMnO_{3} and PbMnO_{3}, the A-site doped HPMO presents a polar crystal structure with the space group Ama2 and a substantial spontaneous electric polarization (26.5 µC/cm^{2} in theory) arising from the off-center displacements of A- and B-site ions. More interestingly, a prominent net photocurrent and switchable photovoltaic effect with a sustainable photoresponse were observed in the current polycrystalline HPMO. This Letter provides an exceptional d^{3} material system which shows unusually large octahedral distortion and displacement-type ferroelectricity violating the "d^{0}-ness" rule.

[Relationship between preoperative inflammatory indexes and prognosis of patients with rectal cancer and establishment of prognostic nomogram prediction model].

Objective: To compare the prognostic evaluation value of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in rectal cancer patients. Nomogram survival prediction model based on inflammatory markers was constructed. Methods: The clinical and survival data of 585 patients with rectal cancer who underwent radical resection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiao tong University from January 2013 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The optimal cut-off values of NLR, PLR, LMR, and SII were determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The relationship between different NLR, PLR, LMR and SII levels and the clinic pathological characteristics of the rectal cancer patients were compared. Cox proportional risk model was used for univariate and multivariate regression analysis. Nomogram prediction models of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with rectal cancer were established by the R Language software. The internal validation and accuracy of the nomograms were determined by the calculation of concordance index (C-index). Calibration curve was used to evaluate nomograms' efficiency. Results: The optimal cut-off values of preoperative NLR, PLR, LMR and SII of OS for rectal cancer patients were 2.44, 134.88, 4.70 and 354.18, respectively. There was statistically significant difference in tumor differentiation degree between the low NLR group and the high NLR group (P<0.05), and there were statistically significant differences in T stage, N stage, TNM stage, tumor differentiation degree and preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level between the low PLR group and the high PLR group (P<0.05). There was statistically significant difference in tumor differentiation degree between the low LMR group and the high LMR group (P<0.05), and there were statistically significant differences in T stage, N stage, TNM stage, tumor differentiation degree and preoperative CEA level between the low SII group and the high SII group (P<0.05). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the age (HR=2.221, 95%CI: 1.526-3.231), TNM stage (Ⅲ grade: HR=4.425, 95%CI: 1.848-10.596), grade of differentiation (HR=1.630, 95%CI: 1.074-2.474), SII level (HR=2.949, 95%CI: 1.799-4.835), and postoperative chemoradiotherapy (HR=2.123, 95%CI: 1.506-2.992) were independent risk factors for the OS of patients with rectal cancer. The age (HR=2.107, 95%CI: 1.535-2.893), TNM stage (Ⅲ grade, HR=2.850, 95%CI: 1.430-5.680), grade of differentiation (HR=1.681, 95%CI: 1.150-2.457), SII level (HR=2.309, 95%CI: 1.546-3.447), and postoperative chemoradiotherapy (HR=1.837, 95%CI: 1.369-2.464) were independent risk factors of the DFS of patients with rectal cancer. According to the OS and DFS nomograms predict models of rectal cancer patients established by multivariate COX regression analysis, the C-index were 0.786 and 0.746, respectively. The calibration curve of the nomograms showed high consistence of predict and actual curves. Conclusions: Preoperative NLR, PLR, LMR and SII levels are all correlated with the prognosis of rectal cancer patients, and the SII level is an independent prognostic risk factor for patients with rectal cancer. Preoperative SII level can complement with the age, TNM stage, differentiation degree and postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy to accurately predict the prognosis of rectal cancer patients, which can provide reference and help for clinical decision.

[Risk factors of postoperative complication after total gastrectomy in advanced gastric cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy].

Objective: At present, there are few studies focusing on the factors short-term complications after total gastrectomy in patients with advanced gastric cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). The purpose of this study is to provide a reference for clinical prevention of complications in these patients. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted. Case inclusion criteria: (1) clinical stage II-III gastric cancer diagnosed by preoperative gastroscopy, pathology, abdominal CT, EUS or PET-CT; (2) evaluated suitable for NACT by MDT discussion; (3) no previous history of other malignant tumors and no concurrent tumor; (4) undergoing total gastrectomy+ D2 lymphadenectomy after NACT. Exclusion criteria: (1) age <18 or >80 years old; (2) severe concurrent diseases, and ASA classification>grade III; (3) stump gastric cancer or history of gastric surgery; (4) incomplete clinicopathological data. According to the above criteria, clinicopathological data of 140 advanced gastric cancer patients who underwent total gastrectomy after NACT in Chinese PLA General Hospital between June 2012 and June 2019 were collected, including 109 males and 31 females with mean age of (56.9±11.4) years and body mass indey (BMI) of (23.3±3.1) kg/m(2). Logistic analysis was used to analyze the relationship between postoperative complication and clinicopathological data. Factors in univariate analysis with P<0.05 were included in the multivariate analysis. Results: Postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ II) occurred in 35 cases (25.0%) and severe complications (Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ IIIa) occurred in 4 cases (2.9%), including 1 case of esophago-jejunal anastomotic leakage, 1 case of vena cava thrombosis, 1 case of pleural effusion, 1 case of septic shock during perioperative days resulting in death. Univariate analysis showed that BMI (P=0.011), cycle of NACT (P=0.027), tumor diameter (P=0.021), and vascular invasion (P=0.033) were associated with postoperative complication within 30 days, while open/laparoscopic total gastrectomy were not associated with postoperative complication (P=0.926). Multivariate analysis revealed that BMI ≥ 25 kg/m(2) (OR=3.294, 95% CI: 1.343-8.079, P=0.009) and < 4 cycles of NACT (OR=2.922, 95% CI: 1.217-7.016, P=0.016) were independent risk factors for postoperative complication. The 3-year overall survival rates of patients with or without complication were 54.4% and 64.0%, respectively (P=0.395), and 3-year disease-free survival rates were 47.4% and 52.9%, respectively (P=0.587). Conclusions: Higher BMI and fewer cycles of NACT are independent risk factors of postoperative complication in advanced gastric cancer patients undergoing total gastrectomy after NACT. No obvious association is found between postoperative complication and surgical approaches.

[Clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer in adolescents aged 10-24 years: 17-year experience of 17 years in a single institute].

Objective: Gastric cancer in adolescents is rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of gastric cancer in adolescents aged 10-24 years. Methods: A case-controlled study was performed. The clinicopathological data of gastric cancer patients aged 10-24 years who were treated at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from February 2000 to February 2017 were retrospectively collected and compared with those patients over 40 years old at the same period, which were randomly selected in a ratio of 1:2. All the patients were followed up until June 2019 and Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze prognostic factors in the adolescent patients. Results: A total of 63 adolescent gastric cancer patients (0.4% of all 14 794 gastric cancer patients) were enrolled, including 31 males (49.2%) and 32 females (50.8%), with a mean body mass index of (19.5±4.3) kg/m(2). Before diagnosis, Only 35 cases (55.6%) had warning symptoms such as weight loss, ascites, obstruction, hematemesis, black stool, etc.; 5 cases (7.9%) had a family history of gastrointestinal tumor. The median duration of symptoms before diagnosis was 3 months. At diagnosis, 58 cases (92.1%) were poorly differentiated, 57 cases (90.5%) were T3-4 stage, 19 cases (30.2%) were signet ring cell cancer or mucous adenocarcinoma, 57 cases (90.5%) had lymph node metastasis, and 36 cases (57.1%) had distant metastasis. Twenty-nine patients (46.0%) underwent radical surgery, 12 patients underwent palliative surgery, 5 patients underwent exploratory laparotomy, 17 patients were unable to operate due to late stage. Of 56 cases (88.9%) with TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, 51 patients (81.0%) received chemotherapy. Of the 126 patients over 40 years old, 98 cases (77.8%) were male and 28 cases (22.2%) were female, and the mean body mass index was (23.8±3.2) kg/m(2). There were 60 cases (47.6%) with low differentiation, 90 cases (71.4%) with T3-4, 16 cases (12.7%) with signet ring cell cancer and mucous cell cancer, 79 cases (62.7%) with lymph node metastasis, and 12 cases (9.5%) with distant metastasis. A total of 115 cases (91.3%) underwent radical surgery. Of 74 cases (58.7%) with TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, 67 cases received (53.2%) chemotherapy. The 63 adolescent gastric cancer patients had lower body mass index, and higher proportion in female, poorly differentiation, signet ring cell cancer and mucous cell cancer, T3-4 stage, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ and receiving chemotherapy compared with 126 gastric cancer patients over 40 years old (all P<0.05). Among the 63 adolescent gastric cancer patients, 52 cases (82.5%) were followed up with median follow-up time of 72.1 (36.1, 100.8) months, and the median survival time was 10.4 months (95% CI: 6.5-15.1). The 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 44.2%, 25.0% and 18.0%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the depth of tumor invasion (HR=7.15, 95% CI:1.71-29.89, P=0.007), lymph node metastasis (HR=6.00, 95% CI:1.42 - 25.42, P=0.015), distant metastasis (HR=7.25, 95% CI: 3.25 - 16.18, P<0.001), TNM stage (HR=5.49, 95% CI: 1.67-18.12, P=0.005) and tumor resection (HR=0.18, 95% CI: 0.09-0.37, P<0.001) were the risk factors affecting the prognosis of adolescent gastric cancer patients. Multivariate survival analysis showed that distant metastasis was an independent factor for gastric cancer survival in adolescents (HR=3.67, 95% CI: 1.32-10.19, P=0.012). Conclusions: Gastric cancer in adolescents is insidious and progresses rapidly. Most of them are in the advanced stage at diagnosis and have low rate of radical excision.

[Comparison of short-term efficacy between robotic and 3D laparoscopic-assisted D2 radical distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer].

Objective: To compare short-term efficacy of robotic versus 3D laparoscopic-assisted D2 radical distal gastrectomy in gastric cancerpatients and those with different body mass index (BMI). Method: A retrospective cohort study was performed. Inclusion criteria:(1) gastric cancer proved by preoperative pathological results and tumor location was suitable for D2 radical distal gastrectomy; (2) no distal metastases such as in liver, kidney or abdominal cavity, and no direct invasion to the pancreas or colon on preoperative imaging; (3) postoperative pTNM stage ranged from I to III; (4) no conversion to open surgery or change of surgical procedure during operation; (5) complete clinicopathological data. Patients with severe chronic diseases, other malignant tumors, tumor invasion of other organs or distant metastases, benign gastric tumors, gastrointestinal stromal tumors and recurrent gastric cancer were excluded. According to the above criteria, 531 patients who underwent robotic or 3D laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy at the General Surgery Department of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2016 to December 2019 were enrolled. Among them, 344 patients underwent 3D laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (3D-LADG group), including 250 males, 94 females, 66 cases (19.2%) with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m(2), and 278 cases (80.8%) with a BMI < 25 kg/m(2), and 187 patients underwent robotic-assisted distal gastrectomy (RADG group), including 122 males, 65 females, 69 cases (36.9%) with a BMI≥25 kg/m(2) and 118 cases (63.1%) with a BMI < 25kg/m(2). There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Operative indicators, postoperative recovery, pathological characteristics and complication rate were compared between the two groups. Subgroup analysis stratified BMI was also performed. Results: Compared with RADG group, 3D-LADG group presented more harvested lymph nodes (29.1±12.4 vs. 25.2±9.0, t=4.238, P<0.001), shorter postoperative hospital stay [8.0 (7.0 to 10.0) days vs. 10.0 (9.0 to 11.0) days, Z=-6.205, P<0.001], less operative cost [(3.6×10(4)±1.1×10(4)) yuan vs. (6.2×10(4)±3.5×10(4)) yuan, t=-9.727, P<0.001], less cost of hospitalization [8.6×10(4)(7.5×10(4) to 10.0×10(4)) yuan vs. 12.8×10(4)(11.7×10(4) to 14.1×10(4)) yuan, Z=-15.997, P<0.001] and longer first flatus time [(3.9±1.0) days vs. (3.4±1.2) days, t=4.271, P<0.001], whose differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). While there were no statistically significant differences in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, overall complication rate [10.8%(37/344) vs. 12.8%(24/187), χ(2)=0.515, P=0.473] and severe complications rate [2.0%(7/344) vs. 3.2%(6/187), χ(2)=0.294, P=0.588] between 3D-LADG group and RADG group (all P>0.05). In BMI<25 kg/m(2) group, propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce bias of baseline characteristics. After PSM, 3D-LADG group presented higher proportion of intraoperative blood loss <50 ml [26.7% (31/116) vs. 8.6% (10/116), χ(2)=13.065, P<0.001], more harvested lymph nodes [30.3±12.2 vs. 25.3±9.5, t=-3.192, P=0.002] and shorter postoperative hospital stay [9.0 (7.0 to 10.0) days vs. 10.0 (9.0 to 11.0) days, Z=-4.275, P<0.001] compared with RADG group, while other perioperative indicators showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). In BMI≥25 kg/m(2) group, 3D-LADG group presented higher proportion of intraoperative blood loss >200 ml [18.2% (12/66) vs. 1.4% (1/69), χ(2)=10.853, P=0.001] and shorter postoperative hospital stay [8.0 (6.0 to 10.0) days vs. 9.0 (8.0 to 10.5) days, Z=-3.039, P=0.002] compared with RADG group, while other perioperative indicators also showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion: It is safe and feasible to perform 3D-LADG and RADG for patients with gastric cancer. The short-term efficacy of both is similar.

[Priority setting in scaled-up cancer screening in China: an systematic review of economic evaluation evidences].

Objective: The existed economic evaluations of cancer screening in Chinese population are almost all single-cancer focused, evidence on parallel comparison among multiple cancers is lacking. Thus, the aim of this study was, from a priority setting perspective, to compare the cost-effectiveness of six common cancers(colorectal cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer and stomach cancer) to facilitate policy making in future scaled-up screening in populations in China. Methods: Partially based on our previous single-cancer systematic reviews (colorectal cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, and lung cancer), evidence of economic evaluations of cancer screening in populations in mainland China were systematically updated and integrated. The main updates include: 1) Stomach cancer and esophageal cancer were newly added to the current analysis. 2) The literature searching was extended to 8 literature databases, including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP. 3) The period of publication year was updated to the recent 10 years: January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2018. 4) The study focused on populations in mainland China. Following the standard processes of literature searching, inclusion and exclusion from previous systematic reviews, the basic characteristics, evaluation indicators and main results of the included studies were extracted. All the costs were discounted to 2017 value using the by-year consumer price index of medical and health care residents in China and presented in the Chinese Yuan (CNY). The ratios of incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) to China's per capita GDP in 2017 were calculated (<1 means very cost-effective, 1-3 means cost-effective, >3 means not cost-effective). Given a specific indicator, the median value among all reported screening strategies for each cancer was calculated, based on which priority ranking was then conducted among all cancers when data available. Results: A total of 45 studies were included, 22 for breast cancer, 12 for colorectal cancer, 6 for stomach cancer, 4 for esophageal cancer (all conducted in high-risk areas), 1 for liver cancer and none for lung cancer (was not then considered for next ranking due to limited numbers of studies). When based on the indicator, the median ratio of cost per life-year saved to China's per capita GDP (reported in 12 studies), the lowest ratio (-0.015) was observed in esophageal cancer among 16 strategies of 2 studies (N=2, n=16), followed by 0.297 for colorectal cancer (N=3, n=12), 0.356 for stomach cancer (N=1, n=4) and 0.896 for breast cancer (N=6, n=52, P(75)=3.602). When based on another commonly used ICER indicator, the median ratio of cost per quality-adjusted life-year gained to China's per capita GDP (reported in 13 studies), the least cost was found in stomach cancer (0.495, N=3, n=8, P(75)=3.126), followed by esophageal cancer (0.960, N=1, n=4, P(75)=1.762) and breast cancer (2.056, N=9, n=64, P(75)=4.217). Data was not found for colorectal cancer. In addition, cost per cancer case detected was the most adopted indicator (32 studies). The median cost among all screening strategies for each cancer was 14 759 CNY for stomach cancer (N=5, n=7), 49 680 CNY for colorectal cancer (N=12, n=25) and 171 930 CNY for breast cancer (N=13, n=24), respectively. Data was not available for esophageal cancer and rare for precancer cases detected. Evidence related to cost per disability-adjusted life-year gained was not available. Conclusions: At China's national level and limited to the six cancers covered by the current study, the preliminary analysis suggests that stomach cancer and colorectal cancer were the most cost-effective target cancers and could be given priority in the future scaled-up screening in general populations. Esophageal cancer screening should be prioritized in high-risk areas. Breast cancer was also cost-effective in general but some of the intensive screening strategies were marginal. Data on liver cancer and lung cancer were too limited to conclude, and more well-designed studies and high-quality research evidence should be required. This priority ranking might be changed if other common cancers were involved analyses.

[Study on the health literacy and related factors of the cancer prevention consciousness among urban residents in China from 2015 to 2017].

Objective: To understand the health literacy and relevant factors of cancer prevention consciousness in Chinese urban residents from 2015 to 2017. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 16 provinces covered by the Cancer Screening Program in Urban China from 2015 to 2017. A total of 32 257 local residents aged ≥18 years old who could understand the investigation procedure were included in the study by using the cluster sampling method and convenient sampling method. All local residents were categorized into four groups, which contained 15 524 community residents, 8 016 cancer risk assessment/screening population, 2 289 cancer patients and 6 428 occupational population, respectively. The self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the information of demographic characteristics and cancer prevention consciousness focusing on nine common risk factors, including smoking, alcohol, fiber food, food in hot temperature or pickled food, chewing betel nut, helicobacter pylori, moldy food, hepatitis B infection, estrogen, and exercise. The logistic regression model was adopted to identify the influencing factors. Results: The overall health literacy of the cancer prevention consciousness was 77.4% (24 980 participants), with 77.4% (12 018 participants), 79.9% (6 406 participants), 77.2% (1 766 participants) and 74.5% (4 709 participants) in each group (P<0.001). The correct response rates for nine risk factors ranged from 55.2% to 93.0%. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with community residents, people with primary school level education or below, and the number of people living together in the family <3, the cancer risk assessment/screening intervention population, cancer patients, those with junior high school level educationor above and the number of people living in the family ≥3 had better health literacy of the cancer prevention consciousness (all P values <0.05). Compared with females, 39 years old and below, government-affiliated institutions or civil servants, from the eastern region, males, older than 40 years, company or enterprise employees, and from the middle or western region had worse health literacy of the cancer prevention consciousness (all P values <0.05). Conclusion: The health literacy of the cancer prevention consciousness in Chinese urban residents should be improved. The cancer screening intervention, gender, age, education, occupation, the number of people co-living in the family, and residential region were associated with the health literacy of the cancer prevention consciousness.

[Analysis on the consciousness of the cancer early detection and its influencing factors among urban residents in China from 2015 to 2017].

Objective: To understand the consciousness of the cancer early detection among urban residents and identify the influencing factors from 2015 to 2017. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 16 provinces covered by the Cancer Screening Program in Urban China from 2015 to 2017. A total of 32 257 local residents aged ≥18 years old who could understand the investigation procedure were included in the study by using the cluster sampling method and convenient sampling method. All local residents were categorized into four groups, which contained 15 524 community residents, 8 016 cancer risk assessment/screening population, 2 289 cancer patients and 6 428 occupational population, respectively. Self-designed questionnaires were used to collect population, socioeconomic indicators, self-cancer risk assessment, regular participation in physical examination and other information. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the factors of people who had not regularly participated in the regular physical examination in the past five years. Results: The self-assessment results of 32 357 residents showed that there were 27.54% (8 882) of total study population with self-reported cancer risk, 45.48% (14 671) without cancer risk and 26.98% (8 704) with unclear judgement on their own cancer risk. Among population with cancer risk, 79.84% (7 091) considered physical examination accounted. In the past five years, there were 21 105 (65.43%) residents participated in regular physical examination and 11 148 (34.56%) participated in non-scheduled one, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with unmarried and western region residents, divorced, middle and eastern region residents had a stronger consciousness to participate in the regular physical examination (P<0.05). Compare with residents with annual household income less than 20 000 CNY in 2014, cancer risk assessment/screening intervention population, and self-assessment with cancer risk, residents with annual household income between 20 000 CNY and 59 000 CNY in 2014, occupational population, community residents, cancer patients, self-reported cancer-free risk, and self-assessment with unclear judgement of cancer risk were less likely to participate in the regular physical examination (all P values <0.05). Conclusion: From 2015 to 2017, the Chinese urban residents had a acceptable consciousness of the cancer early detection. The marital status, annual household income, population group and self-assessment of cancer risk were related to the consciousness of the cancer early detection of people who had not participated in the regular physical examination in the past five years.

[Analysis on the consciousness of the early cancer diagnosis and its related factors among urban residents in China from 2015 to 2017].

Objective: To understand the consciousness of the cancer early diagnosis among urban residents and identify the related factors from 2015 to 2017. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 16 provinces covered by the Cancer Screening Program in Urban China from 2015 to 2017. A total of 32 257 local residents aged ≥18 years old who could understand the investigation procedure were included in the study by using the cluster sampling method and convenient sampling method. All local residents were categorized into four groups, which contained 15 524 community residents, 8 016 cancer risk assessment/screening population, 2 289 cancer patients and 6 428 occupational population, respectively. The general demographic characteristics, the consciousness of the cancer early diagnosis (whether people would have a willingness or encourage their relatives/friends to confirm the abnormal results once which were detected from the physical examination) and other information were collected by using the self-designed questionnaire. The non-conditional logistic regression model was used to identify the relateol factors related to the consciousness of the cancer early diagnosis. Results: As for residents with abnormal result from the physical examination, 89.29% (28 802) of residents would choose to seek medical treatment for further diagnosis. If their relatives/friends had abnormal results from the physical examination, 89.55% (28 886) of residents would encourage their relatives/friends to confirm the diagnosis in time. The non-conditional logistic regression model analysis showed that compared with the public institution staff/civil servants, annual household income less than 20 000 CNY, the western region and the cancer risk assessment/screening intervention population, the company staff, annual household income about 40 000 CNY and more, and the residents from the middle and eastern region had a stronger consciousness to seek further diagnosis; while the unemployed residents and community residents were less likely to seek further diagnosis (P<0.05). Conclusions: From 2015 to 2017, the Chinese urban residents had a good consciousness of the cancer early diagnosis. Occupation, annual household income, residential region and population group were related to the consciousness of the cancer early diagnosis.

[Analysis on the consciousness of the early cancer treatment and its influencing factors among urban residents in China from 2015 to 2017].

Objective: To understand the consciousness of the cancer early treatment and its demographic and socioeconomic factors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 16 provinces covered by the Cancer Screening Program in Urban China (CanSPUC) from 2015 to 2017. A total of 32 257 local residents aged ≥18 years old who could understand the investigation procedure were included in the study by using the cluster sampling method and convenient sampling method. All local residents were categorized into four groups, which contained 15 524 community residents, 8 016 cancer risk assessment/screening population, 2 289 cancer patients and 6 428 occupational population, respectively. The questionnaire collected personal information, the consciousness of the cancer early treatment and relevant factors. The Chi square test was used to compare the difference between the consciousness of the cancer early treatment and relevant factors among the four groups. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors related to the consciousness of the cancer early treatment. Results: With the assumption of being diagnosed as precancer or cancer, 89.97% of community residents, 91.84% of cancer risk assessment/screening population, 93.00% of cancer patients and 91.52% of occupational population would accept active treatments (P<0.001). If the immediate family members were diagnosed as precancer or cancer, people who would encourage their family members to receive early treatment in the four groups accounted for 91.96%, 91.94%, 92.44% and 91.55%, respectively (P<0.001). The company employees, annual household income with 40 000 yuan and more and other three groups had a relatively better consciousness of the cancer early treatment (P<0.05). Male, widowed, unemployed and from the central and western regions had a relatively worse consciousness of the cancer early treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion: Residents in urban China participants had a good consciousness of the cancer early treatment. The marital status, occupation, annual household income and residential regions were major factors related to the consciousness of the cancer early treatment.

[Analysis on the health literacy of the cancer prevention and treatment and its related factors among urban residents in China from 2015 to 2017].

Objective: To understand the health literacy of the cancer prevention and treatment among urban residents of China, and explore the related factors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 16 provinces covered by the Cancer Screening Program in Urban China (CanSPUC) from 2015 to 2017. A total of 32 257 local residents aged ≥18 years old who could understand the investigation procedure were included in the study by using the cluster sampling method and convenient sampling method. All local residents were categorized into four groups, which contained 15 524 community residents, 8 016 cancer risk assessment/screening population, 2 289 cancer patients and 6 428 occupational population, respectively. The health literacy of the cancer prevention, early discovery, early diagnosis, early treatment and the demands of cancer prevention and treatment knowledge was analyzed. The level of health literacy among different groups were calculated and compared. The binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of the health literacy of the cancer prevention and treatment. Results: The level of health literacy of the cancer prevention and treatment was 56.97% among all study population; in each group it was 55.01% for community residents, 59.08% for cancer risk assessment/screening population, 61.99% for cancer patients and 57.31% for occupational population, respectively (P<0.001). The level of health literacy of the cancer prevention and treatment of residents aged 50 to 69 years old, other occupational groups, unmarried, the central and western region residents and the group with unclear self-assessment of cancer risk was significantly lower than that of residents younger than 40 years old, personnel of public institutions/civil servants, married, the eastern region residents and the group whose self-assessment without cancer risk (P<0.05) . The level of health literacy of cancer prevention and treatment of females, people who went to high school or over, cancer risk assessment/screening population, cancer patients and occupational population was significantly higher than that of males, people who had an education level of primary school or below and community residents (P<0.05) . Conclusion: The health literacy of the cancer prevention and treatment of urban residents in China was relatively high, but there was still room for improvement. Gender, age, educational level, occupation, region, marital status, self-assessment of cancer risk, and type of respondents were the key influencing factors of the health literacy of the cancer prevention and treatment. Male, 50-69 years old, lower educational level, central and western regions, unclear cancer risk self-assessment, and without specific environmental exposure to cancer prevention and treatment knowledge or related risk factors were the characteristics of the key intervention group of the health literacy of the cancer prevention and treatment.

[Analysis on the demand, access and related factors of cancer prevention and treatment knowledge among urban residents in China from 2015 to 2017].

Objective: To investigate the demand and access to the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge and related factors among urban residents in China from 2015 to 2017. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 16 provinces covered by the Cancer Screening Program in Urban China from 2015 to 2017. A total of 32 257 local residents aged ≥18 years old who could understand the investigation procedure were included in the study by using the cluster sampling method and convenient sampling method. All local residents were categorized into four groups, which contained 15 524 community residents, 8 016 cancer risk assessment/screening population, 2 289 cancer patients and 6 428 occupational population, respectively. The self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the information of general demographic characteristics, the demand and access to cancer prevention and treatment knowledge, and the influencing factors of the attitude. The Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference of the demand of the cancer prevention knowledge among different groups and the corresponding factors of the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge were analyzed by using the logistic regression model. Results: The proportion of residents who need the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge was 79.5%. The demand rate of the inducement, symptom and diagnosis methods of cancer in the occupational population was highest, about 66.8%, 71.0% and 20.8%, respectively. The demand rate of treatment methods and cost in current cancer patients was the highest, about the 45.9% and 21.9%, respectively. The top three sources to acquire the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge were "broadcast or television" (69.5%), "books, newspapers, posters or brochures" (44.7%) and "family and friends" (33.8%). The multivariate analysis showed that compared with public institution personnel/civil servants, unmarried/cohabiting/divorced/widowed and others, annual household income less than 20 000 CNY, from the eastern region, people without cancer diagnosis and people with self-assessment of cancer risk, the demand rate of cancer prevention and treatment knowledge was higher in enterprise personnel/workers, married, annual household income between 60 000 CNY and 150 000 CNY, from the central region, people with cancer and people with unclear cancer risk (all P values <0.05). Conclusion: There was a high demand for the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge among urban residents in China from 2015 to 2017. The main access to the knowledge is from the radio or television. The occupation, marital status, annual household income, residential region, health status and risk of disease were the main factors of the demand of the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge.

LINC01096 knockdown inhibits progression of triple-negative breast cancer by increasing miR-3130-3p.

OBJECTIVE: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive type of breast cancer. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to be involved in the development of TNBC. However, the role and mechanism of LINC01096 in TNBC are largely unclear. This work aims to investigate the effect of LINC01096 on cell viability, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of TNBC cells, as well as explore the interaction between LINC01096 and microRNA (miR)-3130-3p. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty TNBC patients were recruited. T47-D and BT-549 cells were cultured for experiments in vitro. The expression levels of LINC01096 and miR-3130-3p were detected by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell viability, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were determined by MTT, flow cytometry, and trans-well assays. The target association between LINC01096 and miR-3130-3p was confirmed by the luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS: The expression of LINC01096 was enhanced in TNBC tissues and cells. High expression of LINC01096 predicted poor outcomes of patients with TNBC. Silence of LINC01096 led to the suppression of cell viability, migration, and invasion, as well as the promotion of apoptosis in TNBC cells. MiR-3130-3p was targeted by LINC01096 and lowly expressed in TNBC. Overexpression of miR-3130-3p repressed cell viability, migration, and invasion, while it induced apoptosis. However, the knockdown of miR-3130-3p induced the opposite effect. This was weakened by inhibiting LINC01096. CONCLUSIONS: Knockdown of LINC01096 inhibited cell viability, migration, and invasion; however, it promoted apoptosis in TNBC by up-regulating miR-3130-3p, indicating a novel target for the treatment of TNBC.

Reduced expression of miR-3653 in glioma and its correlations with clinical progression and patient survival.

OBJECTIVE: Growing evidence in recent years have demonstrated that the dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) strongly affected the biological development and progression of human tumors, including glioma. There have been few studies on the clinical significance of miRNAs in glioma. The aim of our study is to explore the expression pattern and the value of miR-3653 in the prognosis of glioma patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: qRT-PCR assays were performed to the miR-3653 expression level in 168 cases of glioma tissues and matched normal tissues. The correlations of miR-3653 expression level with the clinicopathological factors in glioma patients were analyzed. The associations between miR-3653 expression and survival of glioma patients were investigated by the Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test. The prognostic value of miR-3653 was estimated via univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS: We presented that miR-3653 level in glioma tissues is notably reduced compared to matched non-cancerous brain tissues (p<0.01). Clinical research revealed that the lower miR-3653 expression was associated with larger tumor size and lymph node metastasis, lower KPS (p=0.028), and advanced WHO grade (p=0.019). Moreover, the clinical data further suggested that the low expression of miR-3653 predicted a worse 5-year overall survival in glioma patients. Finally, the multivariate analysis confirmed that low miR-3653 expression (HR=2.682, 95% CI: 1.148-4.281, p=0.021) was a significant independent predictor of poor survival in glioma. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggested that miR-3653 could serve as a valuable prognostic indicator in glioma. Further researches are required to explore the potential function and mechanism of miR-3653 in glioma.

[Cost-effectiveness of lung cancer screening worldwide: a systematic review].

Objective: From the economic point of view, this study was to systematically assess the status quo on lung cancer screening in the world and to provide reference for further research and implementation of the programs, in China. Methods: PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library,CNKI and Wanfang Data were searched to gather papers on studies related to economic evaluation regarding lung cancer screening worldwide, from the inception of studies to June 30(th), 2018. Basic characteristics, methods and main results were extracted. Quality of studies was assessed. Cost were converted to Chinese Yuan under the exchange rates from the World Bank. The ratio of incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) to local GDP per capita were calculated. Results: A total of 23 studies (only 1 randomized controlled trial) were included and the overall quality was accepted. 22 studies were from the developed countries. Nearly half of the studies (11 studies) took 55 years old as the starting age of the screening program. Smoking history was widely applied for the selection of criteria on target populations (18). Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) was involved in every study used to evaluate the economic effectiveness. Annual (17) and once-life time (7) screening were more common frequencies. 22 studies reported ICERs for LDCT screening, compared to no screening, of which 17 were less than 3 times local GDP per capita, and were considered as cost-effectiveness, according to the WHO's recommendation. 15 and 7 studies reported ICERs for annual and once-life time screening, of which 12 and 7 studies were in favor the results of their cost-effectiveness, respectively. Additionally, the cost-effectiveness of once-lifetime screening was likely to be superior to the annual screening. Differences of cost-effectiveness among the subgroups, by starting age or by the smoking history, might exist. Conclusions: Based on the studies, evidence from the developed countries demonstrated that LDCT screening programs on lung cancer, implemented among populations selected by age and smoking history, generally appeared more cost-effective. Combined with the local situation of health resource, the findings could provide direction for less developed regions/countries lacking of local evidence. Low frequency of LDCT screening for lung cancer could be adopted when budget was limited. Data on starting ages, smoking history and other important components related to the strategy of screening programs, needs to be precisely evaluated under the situation of local population.

[Exome sequencing of gastric cancers screened the differences of clinicopathological phenotypes between the mutant and the wide-type of frequently mutated genes].

Objective: To discover frequently mutated new gastric cancer-related genes by exome sequencing technology and to analyze mutated their relationships with different clinicopathological phenotypes of gastric cancer. Methods: Tumor samples of gastric cancers and preoperative peripheral blood samples from 30 patients were collected respectively from January to March, 2016 in the department of general surgery, Chinese PLA General Hospital. Exome sequencing on samples were performed. Using peripheral bloods as control, mutations in tumor samples were discovered by Mutect and Varscan. Frequently mutated gastric cancer-related genes were defined as genes mutated more frequently than TP53. Difference between the mutant and wild-type of certain genes were compared on common clinicopathological phenotypes, such as age, gender, tumor position, differentiation, metastasis lymph nodes, etc. Results: There were 27 frequently mutated genes were founded, most of which showed no relationship with clinicopathological phenotypes of gastric cancer. Cases with mutant and wild-type TAS2R43 showed statistically significant difference in gastric body cancer(55.6% vs 9.5%, P=0.022). Cases with mutant and wild-type ANKRD36C showed statistically significant difference in gastric body cancer (62.5% vs 9.1%, P=0.005). Cases with mutant and wild-type ANKRD36 showed statistically significant difference in proximal gastric cancer (8.33% vs 44.4%, P=0.049). Cases with mutant SYNE1 suffer from less metastatic lymph nodes than those with wild types(2.1±2.4 vs 8.8±9.5, P=0.006). Cases with mutant ADAR are younger than those with wild types(50.7±11.5 year vs 64.0±9.8 year, P=0.006). Conclusion: Mutant TAS2R43, ANKRD36 and ANKRD36C were related to location of gastric cancer. Mutant SYNE1 was related to gastric cancer with less lymph nodes metastasis. Mutant ADAR may lead to gastric cancers in younger groups.

[The influence of IGF-â on the expression of Myf5 and TGF-ß1 in medial rectus muscle of cat model with strabismus].

Objective: To observe the influence of exogenous insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ(IGF-Ⅰ) on the expression of myocyte differentiation factor 5 (Myf5) and transforming growth factor ß1(TGF-ß1) in medial rectus muscle of cat model with strabismus. Methods: Experiment research. Twenty-seven kittens which were in sensitive period of visual development (4-6 weeks old), were randomly divided into experimental, control and blank control groups by random numbers table method. Each experimental group was further divided into 3 sub-groups (4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks) based on drug intervention time, hence 3 kittens in each sub-group. The control group and the blank control group were also divided into 3 sub-groups respectively. Exotropia treatment models were set up through surgical methods and injection of IGF-Ⅰ(0.05 ml,0.1 g/L). The internal rectus muscles of 4 weeks sub-group, 8 weeks sub-group and 12 weeks sub-group were taken respectively after the treatment model had been set up. The internal rectus muscles of the control group and the blank control group were also taken according to corresponding time. The expressions of Myf5 and TGF-ß1 were tested with immunohistochemistry staining method, and optical density analysis method were employed to measure the average optical density value. The expression of Myf5 and TGF-ß1 was analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and Bonferroni test. The correlation between the expression of Myf5 and TGF-ß1 and the time of drug intervention was analyzed by simple linear regression. Results: (1) In the experimental group, the expression of the Myf5 of the 4 weeks sub-group, 8 weeks sub-group and 12 weeks sub-group were 33.34±17.16, 39.24±15.25 and 47.70±19.39, which were higher than the control group (21.30±7.44, 19.43±4.75, 4.82±2.66) and the blank control group (18.95±6.59, 18.00±7.29, 5.86±2.61) at the same time point, and the differences were statistically significant in 8 weeks sub-group and 12 weeks sub-group (χ(2)=21.864, 31.814, both P<0.01). The expression of Myf5 in the experimental group increased with the extension of IGF-Ⅰ intervention time (R(2)=0.99, P<0.05). But there were negative correlation between expression of Myf5 and drug intervention times in the control group and the blank control group (R(2)=0.81, 0.80, both P<0.05). (2) In the experimental group, the expression of the TGF-ß1 of the 4 weeks sub-group, 8 weeks sub-group and 12 sub-weeks group were 0.80±0.12, 0.53±0.09, 0.42±0.08, which were higher than the control group (1.91±0.23, 2.30±1.03, 1.82±0.72) and the blank control group (2.01±0.31, 2.62±1.11, 1.83±0.67) at the same time point, and the differences were statistically significant (χ(2)=30.801, 40.278, 35.177, all P<0.01). The expression of TGF-ß1 in the experimental group decreased with the extension of IGF-Ⅰintervention time (R(2)=0.83, P<0.05). The average optical density value regression equation of TGF-ß1 in the sterile water control group and the blank control group was 0.04 and 0.06, respectively, and the fitting degree was very poor. Therefore, there was no correlation trend with time. Conclusions: Exogenic IGF-Ⅰ could enhance the expression of Myf5 in medial rectus muscle of cat model with strabismus. Exogenic IGF-Ⅰ could inhibit the expression of TGF-ß1 in medial rectus muscle of cat model with strabismus. Repeated injection of exogenous IGF-Ⅰ may continuously enhance the expression of Myf5 and inhibit the expression of TGF-ß1. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2018, 54: 375-382).

[Potential demand on cancer screening service in urban populations in China: a cross-sectional survey].

Objective: To understand the acceptance and personal demand for cancer screening service among the urban residents who had never been involved in any national level cancer screening programs in China and identify the key factors influencing the sustainability of cancer screening. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among the local people aged 40-69 years selected through convenience sampling in 16 provinces of China to collect the general information about their demands for the screening service and others. Results: A total of 16 394 qualified questionnaires were completed. The average age of the people surveyed was (53.8±8.0) years, and men accounted for 44.6%. Without concerning the cost, 4 831 people (29.5%) had no demands for cancer screening services, the reasons are as follow: they would like to go to see doctors only when they were ill (61.8%); they had already received similar medical examinations (36.8%) and they would like to receive cancer screening directly without pre-health risk assessment (33.0%). Among the people surveyed, 10 795 (65.8%) had demands for cancer screening services, but they had choice on the screening settings, 43.7% wanted to receive the service in a general hospitals, while 36.5% would like to go to cancer-specialized hospitals. As for the level of medical institutes providing cancer screening service, 61.4% of the people surveyed would choose a higher level one, while 36.4% would choose an ordinary one. On screening procedures, 61.5% of the people surveyed would accept the mode of "clinical examination after questionnaire-assessment" . Conclusion: Most people surveyed had demands for cancer screening services and they would like to receive the screening services in higher level medical institutes. It is suggested to spread cancer screening know ledge, and strengthen the capability building of screening in grass root medical institutes to attract more people to receive cancer screening.
