Background and purpose:Zhongshan City is one of the areas with the highest NPC incidence worldwide and nationwide. Although its incidence rate had been analyzed thoroughly, but its mortality rate was not studied further until now. This study was to explore NPC mortality status in Zhongshan City from 1970 to 2010, and to provide scientiifc information for its control and prevention.Methods:NPC death data in Zhongshan City from 1970 to 2010 came from Zhongshan Cancer Registry Ofifce. Such indices as its death number, crude rate, age standardized rate (ASR) and truncated rate etc were calculated and analyzed. Results:There were 5 267 NPC death cases in Zhongshan City from 1970 to 2010, its crude world ASR and truncated rates were 11.03/105, 12.34/105 and 29.31/105 respectively. Its world ASRs increased before 1999 but no statistical signiifcance (P=0.64) and decreased thereafter with obvious statistical signiifcance (P=0.001). But overall, there were a decreasing trend for its ASRs (P=0.001) from 1970 to 2010 in Zhongshan City. Moreover, NPC mortality rate in male was remarkably higher than in female, the death peak age was 55-59 age group, and the different age groups were with different trends fro 1970 to 2010. Conclusion:Although with declining trend from 1970 to 2010, NPC mortality rate in Zhongshan City was at high level worldwide. It suggested that NPC control and prevention should be enhanced.

AlM:To investigate the effect of peripheral vision control technology for delaying the development of juvenile myopia.METHODS:A total of ninty-nine cases of 12 ~18 year-old myopic patients were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group was peripheral vision control technology group whose members wore the special lenses which can help correct the hypermetropic defocus of peripheral retina. The other was control group whose members wore ordinary monofocal lenses. All the subjects needed to accept re-examination every 3mo and be recorded the data of dioptre, corneal curvature and axial length.RESULTS: After 18mo, the dioptre and axial length of two groups had increased in varying degree. But the data's different quantity of the corneal curvature in each group had no statistical significance ( P > 0. 05 ). Themyopia deepen quantity in experimental group was-0. 65±0. 65D and its axial growth was 0. 23±0. 22mm, and the myopia deepen quantity in control group was -1. 17 ± 0. 50D and its axial growth was 0. 41 ± 0. 17mm. Under the circumstance of valid data, the increment of myopia and axial length in experimental group was lower than that in control group (P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON: Peripheral vision control technology can delay the development of juvenile myopia effectively.
