Objective To investigate the relationship between bladder cancer and ultraviolet ir-radiation for providing ecological information on cancer prevention and control. Methods The cancer death data were retrieved from second cancer death survey, 1990-1992, China. The estimated daily cloud-adjusted ambient solar UVB irradiance at 305 nanometers (mW/m2), was obtained from NASA database the total ozone mapping spectrometer (TOMS) using ArcGIS 9.1 software to measure the county level average daily irradiance over the whole year. Negitive binomial regression modeling by SAS statistics software was adopted for analysis. Results Mortality of bladder cancer was negitively related with UVB irradiation in both sexes and in different sexes and locations. Adjusted mortality fell by 0. 56% per unit of UVB (rate ratio 0. 9944, 95%CI 0.9911-0.9977, P=0.0013). This down-trend was stronger for female (0.66% per unit of UVB) than for male (0.51%) and stronger in rural areas (0.58%) than in urban areas (0.55%). Conclusions Sunshine irradiation might reduce the mortality of bladder cancer probably by increasing the concentration of vitamin D in the body. Further study would be necessary to explain the reaction mechanisam.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in China and around the world. Population-based survival analysis can reflect the overall level of cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in countries or regions, providing basic information for making efficient health policies. Breast cancer survival varies among countries or regions because of differences among races, so-cioeconomic factors, healthcare services, and cancer diagnosis and treatment. Breast cancer prognosis is closely related to tumor stage, status of receptors, and treatments. By determining the relationship between breast cancer survival and related factors, the re-sults can help in predicting the prognosis and evaluating the quality of care services. The article provides an overview of breast cancer survival in China and abroad, as well as references for cancer surveillance.

Objective:Based on cancer registry data, the present work aimed to analyze breast cancer survival and epidemiology in China. Methods:The cancer data was retrieved from the National Central Cancer Registry Database. The new diagnosis situation and the number of deaths due to breast cancers were estimated. The time trend and survival for breast cancer were also analyzed. Results:About 249,000 new cases, with a 37.86/100,000 crude incidence rate, of female breast cancer were diagnosed in China in 2011. The crude incidence rate increased over the past ten years, and the trend for age-standardized rate increased gradually. Approximately 60,000 deaths were caused by breast cancer in China in 2011, with a crude mortality rate of 9.21/100,000. The crude mortality for females with breast cancer in China increased over the past several decades;however, after regulation of age-standardized rate, this increasing trend declined. The combined 5 year age-standardized relative survival rate was 73.0%(95%CI:71.2%to 74.9%), and the 1, 3, and 5 year observed survival rates were 90.5%, 80.0%, and 72.7%, respectively. Conclusion:Breast cancer is a major cancer that threatens the people in China. Therefore, the burden of breast cancer is still heavy. The task of cancer treatment remains severe and serious.

Objective To predict the disease burden of kidney cancer and to provide basic information for etiology and control planning.Methods We retrieved incidence data of kidney cancer from 18 urban cancer registries from National Central Cancer Registry during ten years period from 1998 to 2007.Ageperiod-cohort Bayesian model was applied for modeling to predict kidney cancer incidence in urban China in 2008-2015.Results Between 1998 and 2007,the incidence of kidney cancer in urban registration areas kept increasing dramatically.Incidence for male raised from 3.12/100 000 in 1998 to 5.36/100 000 in 2007 and from 1.66/100 000 to 2.67/100 000 for female.Different models showed that the increase was mainly caused by a cohort effect (P ＜ 0.001).The predicted incidence rate of kidney cancer for the year 2015 is 9.93 per 100 000 in male and 4.54 per 100 000 in female.The number of new cases will rise to 52 259 in 2015,including 36 616 men and 15 643 women.Conclusions The burden of kidney cancer in urban areas would increase due to the effect of age and cohort.Kidney cancer will become one of the main cancers threatening people's health in urban areas in China.Etiology research and planning of prevention and control for kidney cancer should be enhanced.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Cryptococcus neoformans mutant in CNLAC1and investigate the difference of CNLAC1between wild type(Mel+ )and the mutant (Mel- ).Methods The ab-normal PCR DNA product of Cryptococcus neoformans was cloned into sequencing vector PG EM-T for se-quencing.An expression vector was c onstructed for efficient expressio n in E.coli DH 5? .The gene was sequenced.Results The cloned DNA sequence was found to b e different between wild type(Mel+)and the mutant (Mel-)(between 1715bp and 2617bp).The differences were not only in len gth,but also in base sequence.Con-clusion The mechanism of the mutant in CNLAC1might be a change of sequence(between 1715bp and 2617bp),and not a DNA deletion.This finding might provide us a target gene for the prognosis and treatment of cryptococcosis.

Objective To investigate the epidemic characteristics of malignant neoplasm of kidney and other urological malignancies in China. Methods The population-based cancer registration data between 1988 and 2002 were collected from 30 cancer registries in China.The data from 11 registries with continuous record were analyzed using the software Joinpoint Regression Program 3.3.1.The incidences of kidney cancer among 3 different periods(1988-1992,1993-1997 and 1998-2002)were compared. Results The incidence of renal cancer and other urological malignancies was 4.26 ,5.40,6.63 per 100 000 population during 1988-1992,1993-1997 and 1998-2002,respectively.The up-trend of kidney cancer incidence was statistically significant;however it was still lower in China than other parts of the world from 1993 to 1997. Conclusion The incidence of kidney cancer in China showed an upward trend in the past 15 years and more attention is needed.

Objective To investigate the status and trends of prostate cancer mortality in China.Methods Prostate cancer data between 1998 and 2008 from the National Cancer Registration Center were collected,including the mortality of prostate cancer,the cumulative probability of dying from prostate cancer of males aged 0-74,composition and age-specific mortality.Comparing and analysing the status and trends of the mortality between urban and rural men.Results In 2008,the mortality of prostate cancer of chinese men was 4.07/100 000,the world's population age-standardized mortality rate was 2.44/100 000.The mortality cumulative risk of males aged 0-74 was 0.18％,accounting for 1.78％ of the mortality of men's malignant tumors.The mortality of urban males was about 2.7 times of that in rural areas.The results of age-specific mortality showed that the mortality of chinese males over the age of 70 ranked lth in the males genitourinary tumor.The average annual growth rate during 1998-2008 was 8.44％.The growth mortality rate of urban men with prostate cancer was higher than in rural areas,it was 2.49/100 000 and 0.96/100 000,but the average annual growth rate was lower than rural males,it was 7.86％ and 8.28％.The proportion of high age group was increased significantly in the age composition of the mortality over time.Conclusions In recent years,the mortality of prostate cancer has showed a obvious growth trend in China.Prostate cancer impacts Chinese men's health seriously.

Objectives：To study the molecular mechanism of Cryptococcus neoformans mutation in the production of melanin.Methods：By comparing wild types(Mel+) and mutants(Mel-),we detected C.neoformans mutant laccase (CNLAC1) gene by PCR.We also cloned gene of the CNLAC1 containing about 450bp in length.E.coli DH5α was the host strain for the plasmid containing the DNA clone.Results：No deletion was found in wild type.However,CNLAC1 deletion (about 450 bp) was present (between 1 715 bp and 2 617 bp).CNLAC1 containing about 450 bp in length was cloned successfully.Conclusions：The present study was helpful in the biochemical and molecular study of CNLAC1 mutation.It might also provide us a target gene for the prognosis and gene therapy of Cryptocosis.
