AIM:To study whether the pulmonary infection of Escherichia coli (E.coli) interferes the glu-colipid metabolism in high-fat diet-induced obese mice.METHODS:High-fat diet-induced obese mice (n=48) and nor-mal chow-fed control mice ( n=48) were intranasally infused with 40 μL fluid containing 4 ×109 CFUs E.coli.The ser-um, periepididymal adipose tissue and liver were obtained at 0 d, 1 d, 2 d, 3 d and 4 d after infection.The body mass, periepididymal adipose tissue and liver were weighed , and the levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting blood insulin ( FINS) , free fatty acid ( FFA) and very-low-density lipoprotein ( VLDL) were measured by ELISA .The serum total cho-lesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C) , and hepatic TG contents were detected , and the hepatic steatosis was observed under microscope with oil red O staining.RESULTS:Compared with day 0, the body mass, fat mass and fat index were decreased significantly from day 1 to day 4 after infection (P<0.05).The levels of FBG, FINS and HOMA-IR were apparently raised from day 2 to day 4 af-ter infection (P<0.05).The contents of serum FFA, TG and VLDL were increased markedly from day 1 to day 4 after in-fection (P<0.05).However, the concentrations of serum TC, LDL-C and HDL-C were decreased obviously from day 1 to day 3 ( P<0.05 ) .The liver mass , liver index and TG content were significantly increased from day 1 to day 4 ( P<0.05 ) .Consistently , the lipid droplet accumulation in the liver cells was increased obviously at day 2 and day 4 after infec-tion.Compared with control group , except the levels of serum TC , LDL-C and HDL-C in obese group substantially de-creased, the other indexes were increased by different degrees during the whole experiment period (P<0.05).CONCLU-SION:Pulmonary infection of Escherichia coli exacerbates the disorder of glucose and lipid metabolism in high-fat diet-in-duced obese mice , which contributes the development of insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis .

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence of esophageal and gastric cardia cancer and various precancerous lesions in high-risk rural areas.

METHODSRandom cluster sampling method was used to select people aged 40-69 years of some natural villages as screening objects in Feicheng, Shangdong province, from 2006 to 2012. The screening program was conducted by endoscopy with iodine staining and indicative biopsy followed by pathological examination.

RESULTSA total of 24 759 subjects were screened during 2006-2012 years. The positive detection rates of esophagus and gastric cardia cancers were 1.37% and 0.42%, respectively, the early diagnosis rates were 84.71% and 65.05%, and the treatment rates were 92.65% and 92.23%, respectively. The detection rates of all lesions in males were significantly higher than those in females (P < 0.05), and were gradually increased with age (P < 0.05). The time trend analysis showed that detection rates of all lesions in the two sites showed no significant changes during this period, and the detection rates of esophageal lesions were higher than those of gastric cardia.

CONCLUSIONSThere are considerable numbers of patients with precancerous lesions in the general population from the high risk areas. Men and the elderly are the key populations calling for cancer control programs. Endoscopy using iodine staining is an effective method to increase the detection rate of precancerous lesions and cancers. The root of mucosal fold in gastric cardia must be carefully observed so as to increase the detection rate of early gastric cardia lesions.

Objective To understand the application and research progress of Mendelian randomization (MR) studies related to gastric cancer and provide a scientific basis for gastric cancer prevention. Methods Published studies on risk factors of gastric cancer based on MR methods were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CNKI, and WANFANG DATA from the establishment of each database to November 1^9th, 2022. Two researchers examined the eligibility of studies, extracted key information, and assessed the research quality independently. Results A total of 30 publications published from 2016 to 2022 were included in the study, and 20 were judged to be of high quality. These studies examined the relationship between behaviors and lifestyle factors, anthropometric characteristics, indicators of biological exposure, and other pathological conditions and gastric cancer, and the results suggest potential causal associations between smoking and other factors and the risk of gastric cancer. Conclusion Previous MR studies extensively investigated the causal association between internal and external exposures or traits and gastric cancer and provided positive evidence of gastric cancer etiology. However, MR studies may be subject to methodological limitations. Interpretation of results needs to be approached with caution, which necessitates the integration with biological plausibility and evidence from observation studies.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of low-dose radiotherapy in patients with advanced hypopharyngeal cancer without high-risk factors.Methods:Clinical data of 235 patients diagnosed with advanced hypopharyngeal cancer treated in Department of Head and Neck Surgery of Shandong Provincial ENT Hospital from December 2013 to August 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into two groups: low-dose radiotherapy group (50 Gy, n=158) and high-dose radiotherapy group (>60 Gy, n=77). Clinical baseline characteristics, treatment, follow-up and survival of patients were collected. Survival curve was delineated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the differences in survival between two groups were calculated using the log-rank test. Clinical baseline characteristics between two groups were compared by χ2 test. Univariate and multivariate analyses of prognostic factors were conducted by logistic regression model. Results:The median follow-up time was 45 months (5-94 months). The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate of the whole group was 68.5%, and 70.3% and 64.9% in the low-dose and high-dose groups, respectively ( P=0.356). The 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate of the whole group was 64.3%, and 65.8% and 61.0% in the low-dose and high-dose groups, respectively ( P=0.361). Univariate analysis showed that T stage, N stage, lesion location and degree of pathological differentiation significantly affected clinical prognosis (all P<0.05), whereas there was no significant relationship between age, sex, radiotherapy dose, interval between surgery and radiotherapy and survival. Multivariate analysis showed that T stage, N stage and the degree of pathological differentiation were the independent prognostic factors (all P<0.05) of the 3-year OS and PFS. Sex, radiotherapy dose and interval between surgery and radiotherapy were not correlated with OS and PFS. Conclusion:This study showed that for hypopharyngeal cancer patients without positive surgical margins and extracapsular extension, postoperative radiotherapy at a dose of 50 Gy given to tumor bed and selective lymph node drainage area does not compromise local disease control and OS.

Objective To explore the intrinsic relationship between circadian clock and cell cycle in osteoarthritis(OA)chondrocytes,especially the regulation of cell cycle-related genes by the clock gene Bmal1.Methods The chondroid ATDC5 cells induced by insulin-transfering-selenium(ITS)were divided into control group,OA group and LV-Bmal1 group.The cell viability of each group was detected by CCK8 method.The expression of Bmal1,Per1,Wee1,Cdk1,Ccnb1 and Mmp13 mRNA in each group was detected by RT-qPCR.The expression of BMAL1,PER1,WEE1,CDK1,CCNB1 and MMP13 protein in each group was detected by Western blot.The effects of Bmal1 on different stages of cell cycle and apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry.The regulation of Bmal1 on Per1,Wee1,Cdk1,Ccnb1 and Mmp13 and their roles in OA were analyzed.Results Compared with the normal group,the cell viability of the OA group was increased,the relative mRNA expression of Bmal1 and Wee1 in the OA group decreased,and the relative mRNA expression of Per1,Cdk1,Ccnb1 and Mmp13 increased signif-icantly.The cell viability of LV-Bmal1 group decreased,the relative expression of Bmal1 and Wee1 mRNA in-creased,and the relative expression of Per1,Cdk1,Ccnb1 and Mmp13 mRNA decreased(P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that Bmal1 was positively correlated with Wee1 and they were negatively correlated with Per1,Cdk1,Ccnb1 or Mmp13.The results of Western blot showed that protein expression in different groups were con-sistent with the trend of PCR.The results of cell cycle and apoptosis showed that compared with the normal group,the S phase and G2/M phase of the OA group were shortened,the proportion of cells decreased significantly,and the proportion of early and late apoptosis increased.The S phase and G2/M phase of the LV-Bmal1 group were prolonged,the proportion of cells was increased,and the proportion of early and late apoptosis was decreased.Conclusions Circadian clock gene Bmal1 in inflammatory chondrocytes might regulate the expression of cell cycle-related genes.

Objective To analyze the related factors of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and precancerous lesions among residents aged 40-69 years old in rural areas of Shandong Province. Methods In October 2018, 300 villages in 13 counties of the Shandong upper gastrointestinal cancerearly diagnosis and treatment projectin 2017 were selected as research areas, and 30 400 residents aged 40-69 were recruited in this study. The demographic characteristics, health status and lifestyle information were collected through the questionnaire survey, and endoscope iodine staining and indicative biopsy methods were used for cancer screening among eligible people.The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors for esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions. Results The subjects in this study were (56.42±7.24) years old, including 13 193 males (43.40%).There were 936 cases of esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions (3.08%), including 521 males and 415 females.Compared with women, 40-49 years old, high level education, drinking tap water, regular intake of meat, eggs and milk, and family average annual income more than 30 000 RMB, men (OR=1.90, 95%CI : 1.65-2.19), 60-69 years old (OR=5.28, 95%CI : 4.11-7.30), primary school education or below ( OR=1.50, 95%CI : 1.20-1.89), drinking groundwater (OR=1.71, 95%CI: 1.38-2.13), never eating meat, eggs and milk (OR=1.48, 95%CI: 1.22-1.80), and family average annual income less than 30 000 RMB ( OR=1.41, 95%CI : 1.16-1.70) would increase the risk of esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions. Conclusion The gender, age, educational level, annual household income, drinking water source, the frequency of eating meat, egg and milk were related to the occurrence of esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions among 40-69 years old residents in rural areas of Shandong Province.
