Background and purpose:Cancer is a major public health issue in China and worldwide, which se-riously threatens human beings as well as social and economic development. This study explored the relationships between the cancer distribution characteristics and cancer prevalences in Chinese cancer surveillance regions to provide scientific evidence for cancer prevention and management.Methods:The data were obtained from the book named“Prevalence and Mortality of Cancer in China from 2003-2007” including incidence of 23 cancer types in 32 regions of China published by the Academy of Military Medical Sciences of the Chinese PLA in 2012. Correspondence analysis was used to gain the relation between the prevalence and area distribution. Cluster analysis was used to obtain the classifications with special significance by putting the cancers or regions with similar characteristics into a cluster.Results:Esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, colorectal and anal cancer have high incidence and mortality in both genders. The districts with high incidence of esophageal cancer and gastric cancer were grouped together. The counties or cities (Shexian, Yangcheng, Linzhou, Yanting, Yangzhong and Jianhu) with high incidence of esophageal cancer and gastric cancer were classified into same cluster frequently. Fusui was grouped along because of the lower incidence of various cancers than the national average except for liver cancer. Guangzhou, Sihui and Zhongshan were the districts with high incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in both genders. Rural areas in Qidong and Haimen were classified into a cluster in male and total data for the high incidence of liver cancer. Colorectal cancer, anal cancer and breast cancer in women also had high incidence in urban areas. Cervical cancer had the second level high incidence in women following diseases of digestive system, breast cancer and lung cancer.Conclusion:Similar pathogenic factors may exist in counties or cities of Shexian, Cixian, Yangcheng,etc, because of the high prevalence of esophageal cancer. Similar pathogenic factors may also exist in other districts or cancers that were classified into the same cluster.

The effects of fucoidan on the lipidomics profiling of juvenile yellow catfish (pelteobagrus fulvidraco) during different feeding time (week 1, week 2, week 3 and week 8) were investigated by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) combined with multivariate data analysis, e.g.principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares-discriminate analysis (PLS-DA).Based on VIP and p values, 11 lipid biomarkers were screened including lysophosphatidylcholine (Lyso-PC) 16∶0, phosphatidylcholine (PC) 22∶6/16∶0, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) 22∶6/16∶0, phosphatidylinositol (PI) 18∶0/22∶6, diacylglycerol (DAG) 16∶0/16∶0,DAG 16∶0/18∶1, DAG 18∶1/18∶1, triglycerides (TAG) 20∶5/16∶0/18∶3, TAG 20∶4/16∶1/18∶2, TAG 16∶0/18∶2/20∶5 and TAG 18∶2/14∶0/18∶1.It was found that Lyso-PC, PC, PE and PI had the largest levels at the eighth week;the levels of DAG were decreased at the second and fourth weeks, and increased at the eighth week.While TAG was different: the content of TAG 18∶2/14∶0/18∶1, TAG 20∶5/16∶0/18∶3 and TAG 20∶4/16∶1/18∶2 increased in response to fucoidan, but TAG 16∶0/18∶2/20∶5 decreased little.Therefore, for juvenile yellow catfish, fucoidan can affect its lipid metabolism, which provides a theoretical basis for investigation of the influence of fucoidan on the response mechanism of lipid metabolism of juvenile yellow catfish.

Objective To explore the association between the CpG methylation level of positive regulatory domain containing 16(PRDM16)gene promoter and obesity or body mass index(BMI). Methods A total of 116 patients(91 female adults and 25 male adults) with abdominal operation in a municipal hospital of Henan province were enrolled in this study and they were divided into two groups:normal weight group(n=50), overweight or obesity group ( n=66 ) . Fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein were measured in peripheral blood. DNA was extracted from white blood cells in peripheral blood and modified by bisulphite. Then the CpG methylation level of PRDM16 gene promoter was detected by mass spectrometry. Finally, all data were analyzed by IBM SPSS Statistics 21. 0 at the 5% level. The essential features and biochemical indexes of research objects between two groups were compared by two independent sample t-test, except chi-square test for gender. The correlation between CpG methylation level of PRDM16 gene and BMI was analyzed by multiple linear regression. Results There were no significant differences ( P>0. 05 ) in the methylation levels of PRDM16 gene's effective CpG sites(including CpG5. 6, CpG8, CpG9, CpG12, CpG13. 14. 15, CpG26. 27, CpG28 and CpG29) between two groups. The methylation level of CpG26. 27 had positive linear relation with BMI in overweight or obesity group with the standardized coefficients of 46. 928(P=0. 015), which means the higher the methylation level is, the higher the BMI would be. Conclusion The CpG26. 27 methylation level of PRDM16 gene promoter region may have relationship with the risk of obesity.

Objective:To select the animal model more consistent with the pathophysiology of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) through the comparative study of the methods of multiple water sacs superimposed compression and gas perfusion.Methods:Ten experimental pigs were randomly divided into two groups ( n = 5): the "constant volume model" (constant volume model group) and the "constant pressure model" (constant pressure model group) of intra-abdominal hypertension. The models were prepared by the method of water sac superposition and pressurization, and artificial pneumoperitoneum respectively. The abdominal pressures of both groups were 25 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) and observed for 4 hours. The pressure was measured once an hour for 4 hours and the pressure-time curves of the two groups were drawn respectively. The experimental animals were sacrificed 4 hours after modeling. The heart and lung were harvested, and the histopathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Results:Two groups of experimental pigs were successfully modeled. The abdominal pressure gradually increased at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 hours after operation in the constant volume model group (mmHg: 25.0±0, 27.1±0.2, 29.4±0.1, 30.9±0.2, 33.1±0.1), and there was a positive correlation between the abdominal pressure and time (functional equation: Y1 = 25.102 0+1.996 0 X1; R2 = 0.996 2, P = 0.000 1). The abdominal pressure value in the constant pressure model group at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 hours were maintained 25 mmHg, and there was no linear correlation between the abdominal pressure and time (functional equation: Y2 = 25). HE staining showed that in the constant volume model group, the myocardial fibers were accompanied with hyaline degeneration, significantly reduced transverse lines, part of myocardial fiber atrophy, and visible nuclear aggregation; hemorrhage, chronic inflammatory cell infiltration and inflammatory exudation were found in the lung tissues. In the constant pressure model group, partial atrophy of myocardial fiber, partial hypertrophy, focal hyaline degeneration, disappearance of local striae, hyaline degeneration of myocardial fiber, dilation and congestion of intermyocardial artery were observed. Slight hyperplasia of alveolar epithelium in some areas, heart failure cells, dilation and congestion of bronchi and trachea artery, a large number of red blood cells and uniform light staining substances in lumen were found. Conclusion:After the model was made by the method of multiple water sacs, the pressure of the abdominal cavity continued to increase with the development of the disease, which was in line with the clinical pathological changes of ACS, and was more suitable for making the animal model of the intra-abdominal hypertension.
