Objective:To study the effects of soybean phospholipids on learning and memory abilities and contents of fatty acids in hippocampus of mice and its mechanism. Method:Mice were randomly divided into four groups:low dose(2.5g/kg) ,middle dose(5.0g/kg) and high dose(10.0g/kg) groups of soybean phospholipids and control group. The treatment groups were fed with soybean phospholipids every day while the control group with distilled water for 30 d.After learning and memory abilities were measured,the mice were killed and contents of fatty acids in hippocampus of mice were determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) . Results:(1) The learning and memory abilities of mice in middle and high dose groups were significantly improved,but only memory abilities in low dose groups were stronger than control group.(2) The contents of protein in hippocampus in middle and high dose groups were increased extremely.(3) The contents of oleic acid(C18:1) and docosahexaenoic acid(DHA,C22:6 ) were obviously enhanced in hippocampus of high dose group;but decreased in eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA,C20:5) and linoleic acid(C18:2) . The content of DHA was increased and EPA decreased significantly in middle dose group.The increase of arachidonic acid(C20:4) was not significant.Conclusion:Soybean phospholipids may improve learning and memory abilities,which might contribute to change of fatty acids contents in hippocampus of mice.

Objective:To investigate the effects of mindfulness based stress reduction on irritable bowel syndrome.Methods:PubMed,EMBASE,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CNKI,Wanfang Data was searched and randomized clinical trials of MBSR treatment in irritable bowel disease were involved.At last two reviewers extracted the data independently.According to Cochrane Handbook5.1.0 handbook,a quality assessment was made.All the data would be analyzed with meta-analysis by the software of Stata.Results:Totally 5 randomized controlled trials were eligible,including 461 participants.Meta-analysis showed that MBSR would be better therapy method to improve the symptom severity of irritable bowel syndrome in 3 months,[SMD =-0.60,95％ CI:-0.86 ～-0.34,P ＜0.01],and the pain index at the 3 months and 6 months was relieved compared to the baseline [SMD =-1.11,95％ CI:-1.45 ～-0.76,P ＜ 0.01,SMD =-0.14,95％ CI:-0.43 ～ 0.14,P ＜ 0.05].Conclusion:Mindfulness based stress reduction therapy could be a adjunctive therapy method in treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.

In vitro transcription systems with T7 RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP) were widely used in preparation of RNA because of their simplicity and high efficiency. The transcripts would have additional 5' sequence since T7 promoter spans the transcription start site, while deletion of the transcription start site would severely reduce the T7 RNAP transcriptional activity. We successfully developed an in vitro transcription by combining of T7 RNAP high efficient transcription system and highly specific self-splicing technology of ribozymes, in this system, ribozyme self-splices at the designed specific site and releases the aim RNA without affecting transcription efficiency of T7 RNAP, the aminoacylation activity of human mitochondrial tRNA(Trp) (HmtRNA(Trp) (UCA)) is 113.6 pmol/microg. This method with its high efficiency on transcription and good repeatability is very suitable for preparation of accurate RNA in large scale.

OBJECTIVETo survey the acceptance and willingness-to-pay for colorectal cancer colonoscopy screening among high risk populations in urban China.

METHODSFrom 2012 to 2013, a Cancer Screening Program in Urban China (CanSPUC) was initiated in 9 provinces, the current survey was conducted among those participants who were evaluated as "high risk for colorectal cancer" by a risk-factor-evaluation-model (community-based) and then went through a colonoscopy screening procedure (hospital-based). All the data were obtained through a questionnaire-based interview (face-to-face or self-completed), mainly focusing on the acceptance and willingness-to-pay of the participants for colorectal colonoscopy screening.

RESULTSThe current analysis included a total of 1 624 participants, with an median age of 55.0 years (P25 = 49.0, P75 = 61.0 years) and an annual income per capita of 17 thousand (range: 10-25 thousand) Chinese Yuan (CNY), 42.8% (695/1 624) of whom were males. Of all the participants, 87.0% (1 414/1 624) could totally or substantially accept the colonoscopy screening, particularly in those at higher education level (junior high school: OR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.22-0.52; high school OR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.26-0.66; college or over OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.20-0.59). Of all the participants, 13.0% (210/1 624) could not or hardly accept it, particularly in those with older age (60-69 years) (OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.06-2.07), not in marriage (OR = 2.15, 95% CI: 1.25-3.70) or with family member(s) to raise (OR = 1.60, 95% CI: 1.17-2.20). 1 388 (85.5%) of all the participants had willingness-to-pay for a long-term colonoscopy screening service, particularly in those working in public (OR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.44-0.84) or enterprise sectors (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.38-0.94), but 82.3% (1 141/1 386) of whom would only pay less than 100 CNY; 14.5% (236/1 624) of total had no willingness-to-pay, particularly in those living in areas with moderate (OR = 4.08, 95% CI: 2.75-6.33) or high GDP per capita (OR = 3.26, 95% CI: 2.11-4.92), or with an absence of willingness-to-pay for colonoscopy screening (OR = 3.98, 95% CI: 2.81-5.65).

CONCLUSIONSAlthough a larger community-based colorectal cancer screening program was warranted to examine the extrapolation of these findings, it suggested that the acceptance for colorectal cancer colonoscopy screening among the selected high-risk populations was considerable. The willing-to-pay was relatively high but the amount of payment was limited, the indicated subgroups with potentially less acceptance or willingness need to be more focused in the future to reach a higher participation rate. The data will also be informative in integrating the screening service into the local health insurance system.

Objective To systematically review the worldwide simulation model studies on the natural history of breast cancer and to summarize related parameters.Methods A structured literature search was conducted in PubMed and the Cochrane Library to identify articles during 1980-2015.Articles were screened independently by two researchers.Health states in the natural history and relevant parameters were extracted.Results A total of 36 studies were included for analysis,within the earliest one was published in 1990.Most studies were from Europe and America countries,and 2 studies from China.Markov model was mostly applied to evaluating breast cancer screening programs (n=32).Reported health status included “healthy” (n=36),ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS,n=17),invasive breast cancer (IBC,n=36),and death (n=27).There were two definite classifications for IBC,tumor size (n=9) and TNM staging (n=9,3 studies reported transition rates).The median (range) of annual transition rates from DCIS to stage-I IBC,I to Ⅱ,Ⅱ to Ⅲ,Ⅲ to Ⅳ were 0.279 (0.259-0.299),0.150 (0.069-0.430),0.100 (0.060-0.128) and 0.210 (0.010-0.625),respectively.A total of 15 studies reported the mean duration from predinical to clinical stage for IBC was 1.95-4.70 years,which gradually increased with age,and 7 studies reported that for DCIS.Conclusions Despite closer attention was paid to breast cancer natural history models,in recent years atypical hyperplasia has been neglected.Data on the mean duration of DCIS requires reasonable conversion.Various classifications for IBC exist whereas transition rates are limited.Current findings would be valuable references but challenging for the Chinese-population specific natural history model,development.

Objective: To understand the consciousness of the cancer early detection among urban residents and identify the influencing factors from 2015 to 2017. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 16 provinces covered by the Cancer Screening Program in Urban China from 2015 to 2017. A total of 32 257 local residents aged ≥18 years old who could understand the investigation procedure were included in the study by using the cluster sampling method and convenient sampling method. All local residents were categorized into four groups, which contained 15 524 community residents, 8 016 cancer risk assessment/screening population, 2 289 cancer patients and 6 428 occupational population, respectively. Self-designed questionnaires were used to collect population, socioeconomic indicators, self-cancer risk assessment, regular participation in physical examination and other information. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the factors of people who had not regularly participated in the regular physical examination in the past five years. Results: The self-assessment results of 32 357 residents showed that there were 27.54% (8 882) of total study population with self-reported cancer risk, 45.48% (14 671) without cancer risk and 26.98% (8 704) with unclear judgement on their own cancer risk. Among population with cancer risk, 79.84% (7 091) considered physical examination accounted. In the past five years, there were 21 105 (65.43%) residents participated in regular physical examination and 11 148 (34.56%) participated in non-scheduled one, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with unmarried and western region residents, divorced, middle and eastern region residents had a stronger consciousness to participate in the regular physical examination (P<0.05). Compare with residents with annual household income less than 20 000 CNY in 2014, cancer risk assessment/screening intervention population, and self-assessment with cancer risk, residents with annual household income between 20 000 CNY and 59 000 CNY in 2014, occupational population, community residents, cancer patients, self-reported cancer-free risk, and self-assessment with unclear judgement of cancer risk were less likely to participate in the regular physical examination (all P values <0.05). Conclusion From 2015 to 2017, the Chinese urban residents had a acceptable consciousness of the cancer early detection. The marital status, annual household income, population group and self-assessment of cancer risk were related to the consciousness of the cancer early detection of people who had not participated in the regular physical examination in the past five years.

Objective: To understand the consciousness of the cancer early diagnosis among urban residents and identify the related factors from 2015 to 2017. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 16 provinces covered by the Cancer Screening Program in Urban China from 2015 to 2017. A total of 32 257 local residents aged ≥18 years old who could understand the investigation procedure were included in the study by using the cluster sampling method and convenient sampling method. All local residents were categorized into four groups, which contained 15 524 community residents, 8 016 cancer risk assessment/screening population, 2 289 cancer patients and 6 428 occupational population, respectively. The general demographic characteristics, the consciousness of the cancer early diagnosis (whether people would have a willingness or encourage their relatives/friends to confirm the abnormal results once which were detected from the physical examination) and other information were collected by using the self-designed questionnaire. The non-conditional logistic regression model was used to identify the relateol factors related to the consciousness of the cancer early diagnosis. Results: As for residents with abnormal result from the physical examination, 89.29% (28 802) of residents would choose to seek medical treatment for further diagnosis. If their relatives/friends had abnormal results from the physical examination, 89.55% (28 886) of residents would encourage their relatives/friends to confirm the diagnosis in time. The non-conditional logistic regression model analysis showed that compared with the public institution staff/civil servants, annual household income less than 20 000 CNY, the western region and the cancer risk assessment/screening intervention population, the company staff, annual household income about 40 000 CNY and more, and the residents from the middle and eastern region had a stronger consciousness to seek further diagnosis; while the unemployed residents and community residents were less likely to seek further diagnosis (P<0.05). Conclusions From 2015 to 2017, the Chinese urban residents had a good consciousness of the cancer early diagnosis. Occupation, annual household income, residential region and population group were related to the consciousness of the cancer early diagnosis.

Objective: To investigate the demand and access to the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge and related factors among urban residents in China from 2015 to 2017. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 16 provinces covered by the Cancer Screening Program in Urban China from 2015 to 2017. A total of 32 257 local residents aged ≥18 years old who could understand the investigation procedure were included in the study by using the cluster sampling method and convenient sampling method. All local residents were categorized into four groups, which contained 15 524 community residents, 8 016 cancer risk assessment/screening population, 2 289 cancer patients and 6 428 occupational population, respectively. The self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the information of general demographic characteristics, the demand and access to cancer prevention and treatment knowledge, and the influencing factors of the attitude. The Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference of the demand of the cancer prevention knowledge among different groups and the corresponding factors of the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge were analyzed by using the logistic regression model. Results: The proportion of residents who need the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge was 79.5%. The demand rate of the inducement, symptom and diagnosis methods of cancer in the occupational population was highest, about 66.8%, 71.0% and 20.8%, respectively. The demand rate of treatment methods and cost in current cancer patients was the highest, about the 45.9% and 21.9%, respectively. The top three sources to acquire the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge were "broadcast or television" (69.5%), "books, newspapers, posters or brochures" (44.7%) and "family and friends" (33.8%). The multivariate analysis showed that compared with public institution personnel/civil servants, unmarried/cohabiting/divorced/widowed and others, annual household income less than 20 000 CNY, from the eastern region, people without cancer diagnosis and people with self-assessment of cancer risk, the demand rate of cancer prevention and treatment knowledge was higher in enterprise personnel/workers, married, annual household income between 60 000 CNY and 150 000 CNY, from the central region, people with cancer and people with unclear cancer risk (all P values <0.05). Conclusion There was a high demand for the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge among urban residents in China from 2015 to 2017. The main access to the knowledge is from the radio or television. The occupation, marital status, annual household income, residential region, health status and risk of disease were the main factors of the demand of the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge.
