Background and purpose:There are few studies referring to population-based cancer survival of bladder cancer for more than forty years in China. This paper was to offer basis for assessing long-term survival trends of bladder cancer and the prognosis of this cancer through analysis of the survival rates based on cancer report documents from 1972 to 2011 in Qidong.Methods:The deadline of the last follow-up for survival status of the 1 619 registered cases was Apr. 2012. Cumulative observed survival rate (OS) and relative survival rate (RS) were calculated using Hakulinen’s method performed by the SURV3.01 Software which is developed by Finnish Cancer Registry.Results:The one-, three-, five-, ten-, fifteen-, twenty-, and thirty-year OS rates were 59.91%, 43.49%, 35.98%, 26.91%, 21.30%, 18.37% and 12.24%; and the one-, three-, five-, ten-, fifteen-, twenty-, and thirty-year RS rates were 64.07%, 53.02%, 50.06%, 52.42%, 59.59%, 76.39% and 115.75%, respectively. For males, these OS rates were 60.84%, 43.91%, 36.95%, 27.31%, 21.49%, 18.29% and 12.59%, and RS rates were 65.23%, 53.95%, 52.02%, 54.57%, 62.59%, 79.12% and 117.07%, respectively; For females, these OS rates were 56.61%, 42.03%, 32.44%, 25.65%, 20.78%, 18.80% and 0%, and RS rates, 59.99%, 49.91%, 43.37%, 45.86%, 51.21%, 69.02% and 0%, respectively. There were no statistical differences couldbe found between both sexes (P=0.256). Five-year RS rates of age groups 15-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, and more than 75 were 49.10%, 67.53%, 62.77%, 53.92%, 46.59% and 39.85%, and 10-year RS rates, 49.79%, 61.23%, 52.99%, 48.21%, 54.94% and 51.21%, respectively. Remarkable improvement could be seen for the five-, ten-, and fifteen-year RS rates in this setting since 1980’s.Conclusion:The survival outcome from Qidong registered cases with bladder cancer shows gradual progress during the past 2 decades. Early detection and improvement of therapies may be the factors affecting the prognosis of bladder cancer. Although the disparities in survival rates between Qidong and the developed countries are getting narrower, potential for survival improvement still exists.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of active carbon nanoparticles to guide breast cancer tiny lymphadenectomy.Methods 50 patients with breast cancer were enrolled in the study and were divided into two groups by random number table.Active carbon particle was injected locally to guide the regional lymph nodes dissection in 25 cases as study group,and the traditional method was performed in 25 cases as observation group.Numbers of dissected lymph nodes were compared between two groups.Results The average number of eliminated small lymph nodes in the study group was dramatically more than that in the observation group[(23.60 ±4.61)vs. (14.60 ±5.16),t =3.47,P <0.05].There was significant difference between the study group and the observation group in the small ambulant lymph nodes[(5.80 ±1.49)vs.(2.89 ±1.66),t =2.91,P <0.05)].Conclusion Active carbon injected locally can eliminate not only more small lymph nodes,but also more small ambulant lymph nodes.
6. Neurobiological factors of trait anxiety and its influences on individual cognitive performance
Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2020;25(1):101-106
Trait anxiety is a relatively stable anxiety tendency with individual differences in personality traits. The level of trait anxiety is related to gene polymorphism, oxidative stress, and brain volume and brain chemicals. At the same time, trait anxiety can affect an individual's cognitive performance, such as the extinction of fear memories and the process of threat-related information. Fully understanding the neurobiological factors of trait anxiety and its impacts on individual cognitive performance can help us cope with life events better and prevent or treat anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses more effectively.

Objective:
To investigate the survival rate and changing trends of kidney cancer patients in Qidong City from 1972 to 2016, so as to provide insights into kidney cancer control.
Methods:
Data pertaining to the incidence of kidney cancer in Qidong City from 1972 to 2016 were captured from the Qidong Municipal Cancer Registration System, and the final follow-up period was December 31, 2021. The observed survival rate, relative survival rate and standardized relative survival rate of kidney cancer were calculated to analyze the survival of kidney cancer, and the trends in survival were analyzed among kidney cancer patients from 1972 to 2016 using annual percent change (APC).
Results:
A total of 554 kidney cancer patients were reported in Qidong City from 1972 to 2016. The 1-, 3- and 5-year observed survival rates, relative survival rates and standardized relative survival rates were 62.27%, 50.54% and 44.04%; 64.31%, 55.71% and 51.93%; and 61.71%, 51.90%, and 51.68%, respectively. The 5-year observed survival rate, relative survival rate and standardized relative survival rate of kidney cancer appeared a tendency towards a rise in Qidong City from 1972 to 2016, with APC of 2.83% (t=4.303, P=0.004), 2.82% (t=3.978, P=0.005) and 3.96% (t=5.898, P=0.001), and the 5-year relative survival rate of kidney cancer was comparable between men and women (53.05% vs. 50.40%; χ2=4.872, P=0.676). There was an age-specific 5-year relative survival rate of kidney cancer (χ2=35.144, P<0.001), with the greatest among patients at ages of 35 to 44 years (64.49%) and the lowest at ages of 75 years and older (30.11%).
Conclusion
The 5-year survival rate of kidney cancer cases appeared a tendency towards a rise in Qidong City from 1972 to 2016. Further specific interventions, depending on age, are needed for management of kidney cancer.
8.Progress of immunotherapy-based strategy in triple-negative breast cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2023;50(11):672-676
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a distinct subtype of breast cancer, characterized by unique clinical traits including early lung metastasis, elevated recurrence rates, and diminished survival prospects. Owing to the lack of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expression, concrete therapeutic targets remain elusive, thereby confining available clinical treatment methods. In the context of advanced TNBC, chemotherapy remains the predominant therapeutic approach. In recent years, with the in-depth study of tumor microenvironment, new immunotherapy targets have been discovered one after another. Thus, immunotherapy-based combined therapy strategies have brought new hope in patients with advanced TNBC.

Objective:To investigate the characteristic of social ability in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its relationship with core symptoms, emotional and behavioral problems.Methods:Fifty-nine children with ADHD aged 6-13 for outpatient department from June 2019 to June 2021 were selected as the ADHD group, and 62 normal children matched in age and sex were recruited as the typical development group(TD group). The social responsiveness scale (SRS), SNAP-Ⅳ rating scale and strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) were used to evaluate the social ability, core symptoms and emotional and behavioral problems of the subjects.SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis.Non parametric test was used to compare and analyze the differences in social ability, emotional and behavioral problems between the two groups.Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between social ability and core symptoms, emotional and behavioral problems of ADHD group.Generalized linear regression was used to analyze the impact of gender, age, IQ, core symptoms, emotional and behavioral problems of ADHD group on social ability.Results:In the ADHD group, the total score of SRS (65(42, 83)), social perception (10 (8, 13)), social cognition (13 (9, 19)), social communication (19 (11, 29)), and autism like behavior (9 (5, 14)) were significantly higher than those of TD group(38 (27.5, 59.5), 7 (4, 12.5), 8 (6, 15), 12 (6.5, 20), 4 (2, 11)) ( Z=-2.97, -2.75, -2.41, -3.01, -2.64, all P<0.05) .The total score of SDQ difficulty, influence factors, mood, hyperactivity, conduct and peer interaction were significantly higher than those of TD group ( Z=-5.80, -6.89, -2.82, -8.59, -2.52, -3.81, all P<0.05). The total score of SRS and the scores of each subscale in ADHD group were positively correlated with the total score of SNAP -Ⅳ and the scores of each subscale ( r=0.33-0.71, all P<0.05). The total score of SRS and the score of social communication scale were positively correlated with the total score of SDQ difficulty, influencing factors, emotion, hyperactivity, conduct and peer interaction subscale ( r=0.29-0.65, all P<0.05). Social perception was positively correlated with the total score of difficulty, hyperactivity and the scores of peer interaction subscale ( r=0.56, 0.32, 0.45, all P<0.05). The scores of social cognition and autism like behavior subscale were positively correlated with the total scores of difficulty, influencing factors, emotion and peer interaction subscale ( r=0.27-0.55, all P<0.05). The scores of social motivation subscale were positively correlated with the total scores of difficulty, emotion, hyperactivity, conduct and peer interaction subscale ( r=0.29-0.55, all P<0.05). The total score of SRS and the scores of each subscale were negatively correlated with the scores of prosocial behavior subscale ( r=-0.63--0.49, all P<0.05). The total score of SRS was positively affected by gender, age, opposites and disobedience, emotion, hyperactivity and peer interaction ( B=0.05-0.23, all P<0.05), and negatively affected by the prosocial behavior subscale ( B=-0.07, P<0.05). Conclusion:ADHD children often have obvious social ability defects, which are clearly related to core symptoms, emotional and behavioral problems.The risk factors are opposition and disobedience, emotions and peer relationships, and the protective factor is prosocial behaviors.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of trans-nasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) on reflux and micro-aspiration during induction of general anesthesia in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods:A total of 60 patients, regardless of gender, aged 18-60 yr, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: routine mask ventilation group (group C) and trans-nasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange group (group H). Patients in group C were pre-oxygenated with a mask for 5 min, oxygen flow of 6 L/min and FiO 2 100%, after the induction of anesthesia, the pressure mask was used to artificially assist positive pressure ventilation for 2 min when the patient′s consciousness disappeared, and 2 min later endotracheal intubation was performed.Patients in group H were pre-oxygenated with THRIVE for 5 min, oxygen flow of 30 L/min and FiO 2 100%.The oxygen flow was increased to 50 L/min during anesthesia induction.After anesthesia induction, the oxygen flow was increased to 70 L/min when the patient′s consciousness disappeared, and chin lift and/or jaw thrust was used during apnoea to maintain an open airway, the patient′s mouth was kept closed during the whole process, and 2 min later endotracheal intubation was performed.Ultrasound was used to measure the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the gastric antrum and to monitor the occurrence of gastric insufflation, and the incidence of CSA greater than >3.4 cm 2 was recorded on admission to the operating room and immediately after tracheal intubation.Supraglottic and subglottic secretions were collected at the time of tracheal intubation using visual laryngoscopy after exposing the glottis, and the pepsin content was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to assess reflux (content of pepsin in supraglottic secretion >216 ng/ml) and micro-aspiration (content of pepsinin subglottic secretion >200 ng/ml), and arterial blood gas analysis was simultaneously performed.The apnoea time was recorded, and P ETCO 2 at the first mechanical ventilation after tracheal intubation were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, PaO 2 was significantly increased and CSA was decreased immediately after tracheal intubation, and the incidence of CSA greater than >3.4 cm 2 immediately after tracheal intubation was decreased, and the incidence of gastric insufflation, reflux and micro-spiration was decreased, apnoea time was prolonged, and P ETCO 2 at first mechanical ventilation was increased in group H ( P<0.05). Conclusions:THRIVE applied during induction of general anesthesia can reduce the occurrence of reflux and micro-aspiration while ensuring oxygenation in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
