1.Progress in relationship between Stat3 and invasion and metastasis in cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2009;36(7):486-488
Signal transdcuers and activators of transcription3 (Stat3) is activated by a wide range of cytokines and growth factors following binding to special DNA domain and affects the expression of a variety of genes in modulating the process of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. As a point of convergence for many oncogenic tyrosine kinase signaling pathways,it can be activited by sevral accesses. Stat3 is not only in-volved in the function of both apoptosis suppression,proliferation promotion,but also participates the process of angiogenesis,invasion and immune evasion. For repression of this way maybe a new target for break of cancer in-vasion and metastasis,blockers of Stat3 has become the focus of many researches.
2.Gastrointestinal malignancies and cardiovascular diseases
Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(9):692-695
Nowadays,antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs have been applied to a variety of cardiovascular diseases,such as atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease.Several clinical studies show that there is a higher prevalence of gastrointestinal cancers in patients with cardiovascular disease.In addition,in patients taking antithrombotic drugs,positive fecal occult blood test (FOBT) improves the sensitivity for early detection of colorectal malignancies.This suggests that antithrombotic drugs may facilitate the detection of unrecognized cancers in patients with cardiovascular disease.However,there is no established evidence concerning whether more aggressive gastrointestinal tract screening will reduce the mortality of cancer in cardiology patients.But in an era of multiple antithrombotic drug usage,when patients appear unexplained anemia,gastrointestinal symptoms or positive FOBT,timely gastrointestinal tract screening is helpful to find concomitanted malignancies in these patients.

4.Trends in cancer mortality in Wuyi County from 2015 to 2019
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2022;34(7):732-737
Objective:
To investigate the trends in cancer mortality among residents in Wuyi County, so as to provide insights into the development of the cancer control strategy.
Methods:
The deaths due to cancer among residents in Wuyi County from 2015 to 2019 were collected from Zhejiang Provincial Information Management System for Surveillance of Chronic Diseases. The crude mortality and standardized mortality of cancer and annual percent change (APC) of were calculated to analyze the trends in cancer mortality and causes of death.
Results:
A total of 3 424 deaths occurred due to cancer in Wuyi County from 2015 to 2019, and the crude and standardized mortality rates of cancer were 199.65/105 and 185.87/105, respectively. The crude mortality of cancer was significantly higher in men than in women (271.53/105 vs. 125.40/105;χ2=459.374, P<0.001). The standardized mortality of cancer showed a tendency towards a reduction among all study subjects, men and residents at ages of 45 to 59 years (APC=-3.87%, -4.44%,-11.46%, all P<0.05), and the crude mortality of cancer appeared a tendency towards a rise with age in all study subjects, men and women (χ2=7 063.842, 2 155.609, 5 492.128, all P<0.001). Lung cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer, bowel cancer and esophageal cancer were the five leading causes of cancer-related mortality, which accounted for 71.41% of all cancer mortality. The crude mortality of central nervous system cancer (2.07/105) and leukemia (1.66/105) was high among residents at ages of 0 to 14 years, and the crude mortality of liver cancer (3.02/105) and lung cancer (2.01/105) was high among residents at ages of 15 to 44 years, while the crude mortality of lung cancer (51.57/105) and liver cancer (36.22/105)was high among residents at ages of 45 to 59 years, and the crude mortality of lung cancer (305.48/105) and gastric cancer (114.65/105) was high among residents at ages of 60 years and older.
Conclusions
The standardized mortality of cancer appeared a tendency towards a reduction in Wuyi County from 2015 to 2019, and men and the elderly were high-risk populations for cancer. Screening, early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancer and cervical cancer should be given a high priority.

Soft aid for health has become an important component of China's foreign aid. Soft aid for health with a focus on human resources development reflects the core spirit and the innovative mechanism of China's foreign aid. This paper examines three different types of aid for health human resources: medical assistance teams, govern-ment scholarships for students from developing countries, and health training courses for officials from developing countries. It also argues that China's foreign aid exposes problems, including insufficient strategic planning, non-in-volvement of civil society and NGOs, and lack of research on China's soft aid practices. In this paper, we suggests that to improve the effectiveness of foreign aid, the government should improve its strategic planning for aid, ensure the full public participation, strengthen the academic research, and improve knowledge sharing.
