An analytical method based on high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry has been developed for the simultaneous determination of 20 anti-obesity drugs ( fenfluramine, phenylpropanolamine, sibutramine, sertraline, rimonabant, bupropion, citalopram, fluoxetine, benfluorex, topiramate, zonisamide, caffeine, phenolphthalein, emodin, indapamide, bumetanide, torasemide, triamterene, orlistat, phenformin). that were extracted from various weight-loss functional foods by ethanol-acetone(7:3, V/V)and purified by primary secondary amine (PSA) and octadecyltrimethoxysilane(ODS) under ultrasonication. The analysis was carried out on HPLC-MS /MS by electrospray ionization using multiple reaction monitoring after the chromatographic separation on Waters Atlantis T3 (3 μm, 150 mm × 2. 1 mm) column. Identification was achieved by the retention time and the ion ratio, quantification was done by the external standard method. The limits of detection for the appetite suppressants were 0. 05-3. 0 mg/kg. The mean recoveries at the three spiked levels were 67 . 1%-101 . 4%, with the intra-day precision less than 10%and the inter-day precision less than 15%. The method is reliable, accurate, reproducible and suitable for the determination of the anti-obesity drugs in different weight-loss functional foods.

Objective:To describe the cancer incidences and mortalities in Henan cancer registries in 2013.Methods:Registration data were evaluated according to the criteria of quality control of cancer registry,and the qualified data were analyzed based on areas(urban/rural), gender,age and cancer sites.The age-standardized rates were applied according to Segi's population and the fifth Chinese population census in 2000.Results:The total coverage of population from 19 qualified cancer registries data was 16,225,815(15.13%),Among which,8,370, 772(51.59%)were males and 7,855,043(48.41%)were females;and 2,819,817(17.38%)live in urban areas and 13,405,998(82.62%) live in rural areas.The crude incidence rate in Henan was 250.34/105(males:264.35/105,females:235.42/105),whereas the age-standardized incidence rates by Chinese standard population and by world standard population were 208.66/105and 207.25/105,respectively.The cumulative incidence rate(0-74 years old)was 24.31%.The cancer mortality in Henan was 161.05/105(males:185.50/105,females:134.98/105),whereas the age-standardized mortality by Chinese standard population and by world standard population were 131.18/105and 131.52/105,respectively.The cumulative mortality rate(0-74 years old)was 15.05%.Cancer incidence and mortality rates were increasing by age, reaching the peak values at 80 age group and 85 plus age group,respectively.Lung cancer,gastric cancer,esophageal cancer,liver cancer and colorectal cancer were the most common cancers ranked by the incidence rate,and the most common cause of cancer death was lung cancer,followed by gastric cancer,esophageal cancer,liver cancer and colorectal cancer.Incidence rate and mortality rate of breast cancer ranked the first and the fifth among the females,respectively.Conclusion:Cancer incidence and mortality rates were higher in the rural areas and in males than in the urban areas and in females.Lung cancer,digestive system cancers,and female breast cancer are the major cancer types that require attention for the prevention and control in Henan.

Objective: To investigate the effect of fried food intake on the pathogenesis of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions. Methods: From 2005 to 2013, the residents aged 40-69 years from 11 counties/cities where cancer screening of upper gastrointestinal cancer were conducted in rural areas of Henan province as the subjects (82 367 cases). The information such as demography and lifestyle was collected. The residents were screened with endoscopic examination. The biopsy sampleswere diagnosed pathologically, according to pathological diagnosis criteria, the subjects with high risk were divided into the groups with different pathological degrees. The multivariate ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the frequency of fried food intake and gastric cancer and precancerous lesions. Results: The study coverd 46 425 males and 35 942 females, with a age of (53.46±8.07)years. The study collected 6 707 cases of normal stomach, 2 325 cases of low grade intraepithelial neoplasia, 226 cases of high grade intraepithelial neoplasia and 331 cases of gastric cancer. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, compared with those whoeat fried food less than one time per week, fried foods intake (<2 times/week: OR=1.89, 95%CI: 1.57-2.28; ≥ 2 times/week: OR=1.91, 95%CI: 1.66-2.20) were a risk factor for gastric cancer and precancerous lesions after adjustment for age, sex, marital status, educational level, body mass index (BMI), smoking and drinking status. Conclusion The intake of fried food is a risk factor for gastric cancer and precancerous lesions. Therefore, reducing the intake of fried food can prevent the occurrence of gastric carcinoma and precancerous lesions.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate effect of screening of esophageal cancer at rural areas in Henan province.

METHODSAt rural areas with high incidence of upper gastrointestinal carcinoma in Henan province total of 88,263 persons with 40 to 69 years old were set to the target population of the screening by the 12 cities and countries and endoscope and pathology diagnosis were performed during 2009-2013. For patients with precancerous lesions, follow-up visits were conducted and defined as follows: once in three years for patients with mild dysplasia, once per year for moderate hyperplasia patients, the patients with severe intraepithelial neoplasia/carcinoma in situ should be treat, at least once per year for those one who didn't under treatment. The result data of screening were summarized and detection rates of esophagus hyperplasia, carcinoma in situ, early and middle-late cancer were calculated, as well as the early diagnosis rate. The result between first round and follow-up screening was compared.

RESULTSTarget population were examined in first round screening. There were 8,434 persons with above mild dysplasia and the detection rate was 9.56%, among them there were 7,224 (8.18%) cases with light-middle hyperplasia, 789 (0.89%) cases with serious dysplasia or cancer in situ, 239 (0.27%) cases with early cancer and 182 (0.21%) cases with middle-late cancer. The sum of serious dysplasia or cancer in situ and early cancer was 1 028 and the early detection rate was 84.96% (1,028/1,210). From 2012 to 2013, the follow-up screening for persons with light-middle hyperplasia which should be followed 4,230 cases, there were 2 853 people to take in screening and compliance was 67.45%. Total of 94 cases were diagnosed with cancer in situ or early cancer. The detection rate and the early detection rate were 3.29% and 100%, respectively. The rates of detection and early detection in phase of follow-up screening were statistically significantly higher than that in first round screening respectively (P<0.001).

CONCLUSIONAt rural areas of high incidence upper gastrointestinal carcinoma in Henan province, the screening with endoscope had good effect and strengthening the follow-up screening could increase the effect.

Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) has been increasingly used to estimate burden of disease worldwide. By giving a particular attention to DALYs, the objectives of the study were to review various data sources and to conduct an extended estimation on the burden of cancer in China. Based on the publications released by the GLOBOCAN 2008 program and the Global Burden of Disease 2010 (GBD 2010) program, we reviewed the methodological information and gathered DALY data associated with burden of cancer in China, and then we extracted and summarized the data and conducted an extended analysis. From a methodological perspective, both of the programs applied the utility weights mainly from populations other than China. The data from GLOBOCAN 2008 suggests that liver cancer has replaced lung cancer and became the leading cancer in males in China when using DALY rather than mortality rate as the indicator (6.3 million and 5.4 million DALYs, respectively); although the ranking is different, data from the GBD 2010 project shows DALYs caused by liver cancer is comparable to that associated with lung cancer (7.9 million and 8.0 million, respectively). The years lived with disability (YLDs) comprised 26% and 12% of the total DALYs associated with breast cancer and colorectal cancer in China. Both projects suggest that liver cancer might have become or is becoming the leading contributor to males' DALYs in China. There are indications that, along with economic development, YLD will play a more important role in estimation of burden of cancer in China; it suggests that China should consider introducing DALY into the estimation system as early as possible. It also suggests that research on quality of life and utility associated with the major cancers in China need to be systematically conducted to facilitate more accurate DALY estimation.

Objective:To explore the value of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) DWI in preoperative prediction of angiolymphatic invasion in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).Methods:From April 2016 to April 2019, 63 ESCC patients who planned to undergo resection of esophageal cancer were prospectively collected at Henan Cancer Hospital.According to the postoperative pathological results, 63 patients were divided into angiolymphatic invasion group (30 cases) and no angiolymphatic invasion group (33 cases). All patients underwent IVIM sequence and routine MRI examination before operation. The ADC, true diffusion coefficient (D), pseudodiffusion coefficient (D *) and pseudodiffusion fraction (f) were measured. The differences of parameter values between ESCC with and without angiolymphatic invasion were analyzed using Student′s t test or Wilcoxon rank sum test.The logistic regression was used to analyze the significance of various parameters. For the parameters with statistical significance, the ROC curves were performed to evaluatethe diagnostic performance of parameters for identifying angiolymphatic invasion.The Z test was used to compare the area under the ROC curves(AUC) of parameters. Results:The difference of ADC, D and f values between angiolymphatic invasion group and no angiolymphatic invasion group were statistically signi?cant ( t=4.476, 5.033 and 5.712 respectively, all P<0.001). The D * values showed no statistically signi?cant di?erence ( Z=0.184, P=0.854). The logistic regression analysis showed that D (OR=9.042) and f (OR=26.221) were in correlation with angiolymphatic invasion. The ROC analyses demonstrated that the AUCs of ADC, D and f values in predicting angiolymphatic invasion of ESCC were 0.787, 0.822 and 0.853, respectively. D combined with f had highest AUC (0.917) in predicting the angiolymphatic invasion of ESCC, sensitivity and specificity were 93.3% and 75.8%. D combined with f showed better diagnostic performance than the D and the f value, and the difference were statistically significant ( Z=2.403, 2.289, P=0.016, 0.022). Conclusions:IVIM can be used as an effective functional imaging modality for preoperative evaluation and prediction of the angiolymphatic invasion of ESCC. D value combined with f value can further improve prediction performance of angiolymphatic invasion.

Background::Lung cancer is the most common cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and mortality of lung cancer worldwide in 2022 and to project the number of new cases and deaths due to lung cancer in China and the United States in 2050.Methods::In this study, data from the GLOBCAN 2022 database were used to analyze lung cancer incidence and mortality. The current status of lung cancer incidence and deaths was described by country/region, sex, age, and the human development index (HDI), and future lung cancer incidence and deaths in China and the United States were projected for 2050.Results::Globally, an estimated 2,480,675 new lung cancer cases and 1,817,469 lung cancer-related deaths occurred in 2022, with age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) of 23.6/100,000 and 16.8/100,000, respectively. In China, the ASIR and ASMR for male lung cancer patients were approximately 1.7 times and 2.7 times greater than those for female lung cancer patients, respectively. The ASIR and ASMR in high-HDI countries were approximately 8.5 times and 6.5 times those in low-HDI countries, respectively. It is estimated that in 2050, there will be approximately 1120 thousand new cases and 960 thousand deaths among Chinese men, 680 thousand new cases and 450 thousand deaths among Chinese women, approximately 170 thousand new cases and 110 thousand deaths among American men, and 160 thousand new cases and 90 thousand deaths among American women.Conclusions::There are significant differences in the incidence and mortality of lung cancer among different regions and sexes. Therefore, sex factors need to be considered in the prevention, screening, and treatment strategies of lung cancer, and the implementation of tertiary prevention measures for lung cancer, especially primary and secondary prevention, needs to be actively promoted.

Objective:To evaluate the compliance rate and its impact factors of liver cancer screening for high-risk groups in urban areas of Henan Province from 2013 to 2019.Methods:Residents of 40-74 years old in 8 cities of Henan province were selected to investigate the risk factors and liver cancer risk assessment. Subjects with high risk of liver cancer received AFP combined ultrasonography for screening. Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in liver cancer screening participation rates between groups. Multivariate logistic regression models were applied to explore the potential factors correlating to the compliance of liver cancer screening.Results:Overall, 3 6781 participants who met the inclusion criteria were included in this analysis, and 17 241 of them took the following liver cancer screening, yielding a participation rate of 46.87%. The participation rate varied greatly across cities, ranging from 62.50% to 38.59%. Moreover, the participation rate varied greatly across periods, ranging from 52.77% in 2014-2015 to 38.14% in 2013-2014. The multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that: female, older, high education degree, cigarette and alcohol intake, infrequent physical exercise, chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, fatty liver, gallstones and a family history of liver cancer were inclined to accept liver cancer screening ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall participation rate of liver cancer screening among high-risk population is less than 50% in urban areas of Henan Province. Implement of effective interventions targeting the specific high-risk populations might improve the overall compliance rate of liver cancer screening in the future.
