Objective:To study the incidence rates of cancer in the urban area of Shijiazhuang city, China in 2012 based on the data of 2,374,827 registered residents. Methods: The incidence of diagnosed cancer cases in 2012 was obtained from the hospital reimbursement database of the medical insurance center of the city by retrieving the records on first-time reimbursement applications for the hospitalization of tumor patients from January 1 to December 31 in 2012. Population census data was obtained from the Population Department of the Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau. The site-specific and sex-specific age-adjusted incidence rates were calculated. Results:The overall incidence rate, the age-adjusted rate of the Chinese population (ASRC), and the age-adjusted rate of the world population (ASRW) for both men and women were 237.53, 129.86, and 167.71 per 100,000 individuals, respectively. The incidence rate increased with age and peaked in the 75-79 years age groups of men and women at 1,729.42 and 867.35 per 100,000 individuals, respectively. The top ten most frequently diagnosed cancers in males were lung, stomach, colorectal, liver, esophagus, kidney, prostate, leukemia, bladder, as well as lymphoma, whereas those in females were the breast, lung, colorectal, stomach, cervical, uterine body, ovary, lymphoma, esophageal, and liver cancers. The incidence rate and ASRW of all cancers combined in men were 269.05 and 187.52 per 100,000 individuals, whereas those for women were 207.57 and 150.44 per 100 000 individuals, respectively. Compared with the average incidence rates of 31 Chinese cities in 2009, the ASRW of lung, stomach, and colorectal cancers in males from Shijiazhuang was nearly equal to the national level;however, the ASRW of breast cancer in females from Shijiazhuang was higher than the national level. When the incidence rates of Shijiazhuang in 2012 were compared with those of Beijing in 2009, the ASRW of stomach and esophageal cancers in men of Shijiazhuang was twice that of the same cancers in Beijing. However, the same parameters for the pancreatic and prostate cancers in men, as well as the thyroid and uterine body cancers in women of Beijing, were twice the values for Shijiazhuang. Conclusion: The ASRWs of the major types of cancer, such as the lung, stomach, colorectal, and breast cancers, in urban Shijiazhuang in 2012 were identical to those of the 31 Chinese cities in 2009. Compared with Beijing, the incidence rates of pancreatic, prostate, and thyroid cancers were significantly higher in Shijiazhuang, whereas those of esophageal and stomach cancers were significantly lower.

In this paper, we introduce a coded excitation circuit for medical ultrasonic endoscope imaging system. This circuit is composed of TC6320 and its drive chip. The experiment demonstrates that this circuit can export frequency-adjustable, duration-controllable coded signals, and its voltage reaches +/-60 V. It still works well when excitant frequency reaches 30 MHz. Compared with the conventional medical ultrasonic pulse-echo imaging system, this coded excitation system has the potential of higher SNR and deeper penetration depth, especially for the small emission power system. This method has a bright future.

OBJECTIVETo develop a high-throughput rapid method for Vibrio (V.) cholerae molecular typing based on Melting Curve-based Multilocus Melt Typing (McMLMT).

METHODSSeven housekeeping genes of V.cholerae were screened out, and for each gene, the specific primers were designed for correspondent genes as well as 4 probes covering polymorphism loci of sequences. After optimizing all parameters, a method of melting-curve analysis following asymmetric PCR was established with dual-fluorescent-reporter in two reaction tubes for each gene. A set of 28 Tm-values was obtained for each strain and then translated into a set of code of allelic genes, standing for the strain's McMLMT type (MT). Meanwhile, sequences of the 7-locus polymorphism were typed according to the method of MLST. To evaluate the efficiency and reliability of McMLMT, the data were compared with that of sequence-typing and PFGE using BioNumerics software.

RESULTSMcMLMT method was established and refined for rapid typing of V. cholerae that a dozen of strains can be finished testing in a 3-hours PCR running using 96-well plates. 108 strains were analyzed and 28-Tm-values could be grouped and encoded according to 7 housekeeping gene to obtain the code set of allelic genes, and classified into 18 types (D = 0.723 3). Sequences of the 7 genes' polymorphism areas were directly clustered into the same 18 types with reference to MLST method. 46 of the strains, each represented a different PFGE type, could be classified into 13 types (D = 0.614 5) with McMLMT method and A- K groups at 85% similarity (D = 0.858 9) with PFGE method.

CONCLUSIONMcMLMT method is a rapid high-throughput molecular typing method for batches of strains with a resolution equal to MLST method and comparable to PFGE group.
