OBJECTIVETo study the distribution of IL-10 gene polymorphisms in patients with gastroduodenal diseases in Hubei Han population and their association with helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection.
METHODSSix hundred and five patients with gastroduodenal diseases (220 gastric cancer, 196 chronic gastritis and 189 gastroduodenal ulcer) and 624 healthy controls were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method for IL-10 -1082, -819, -592 gene polymorphisms. Hp infection status was determined by ELISA.
RESULTS(1) There was significant difference of IL-10 -1082 AG+GG genotypes between gastric cancer group and gastric cancer-free and healthy control groups (P<0.05). (2) There was no significant difference of IL-10 -592 and IL-10 -819 gene polymorphisms among gastric cancer, gastric cancer-free and healthy control groups (P>0.05). (3) The frequency of IL-10 -1082 AG+GG genotypes in the Hp positive gastric cancer patients was significantly higher than that of control groups (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS(1) Genotypes AG+GG of IL-10 -1082 were associated with gastric cancer in Hubei Han population. (2) The IL-10 -1082 AG+GG genotypes were associated with Hp infection in patients with gastric cancer.

3.Experience of Gastric Cancer Survivors and their Spouses in Korea: Secondary Analysis.
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2004;34(4):625-635
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of gastric cancer couples in Korea and to generate a substantive theory integrating the experiences of gastric cancer survivors and their spouses as a whole. The specific aims of this study were to explore major problems gastric cancer couples faced and how they resolved these problems, focusing on inter-relational dynamics within the couples and on similarities and differences between the couples. METHODS: This was a secondary analysis study using grounded theory techniques. The study used the data of 11 married couples which was collected from in-depth interviews from two primary studies. The unit of analysis was dyads of gastric cancer survivors and their spouses. RESULT: The basic social psychological process that emerged from the analysis was "taking charge of their health." Major categories involved in this process were identified as 1) adjusting to new diets, 2) reinforcing physical strength, 3) seeking information, 4) strengthening Ki, 5) lowering life-expectations, and 6) going their separate ways. These six categories represent major strategies in overcoming critical problems that occurred in day-to-day experiences. In terms of the process, the first five categories characterize the earlier stage of the process of "taking charge of their health," while "going their separate ways" indicates the later stage and also the beginning of their separate ways: "pursuing spiritual life" for the survivors, and "preparing for the future" for the spouses. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study will help design family care for the people with gastric cancer by providing in-depth understanding and insight on the lives of gastric cancer couples.

The incidence rate of gastric cancer in Korean Americans is over five times higher than that in non-Hispanic whites, and is similar to the incidence of colorectal cancer in the overall United States population. In Korea, the National Cancer Screening Program recommends endoscopy or upper gastrointestinal series for people aged 40 years and older every 2 years. However, the benefit of gastric cancer screening in Korean Americans has not been evaluated. Based on epidemiologic studies, Korean Americans appear to have more similar gastric cancer risk factors to Koreans as opposed to Americans of European descent, though the risk of gastric cancer appears to decrease for subsequent generations. Therefore, in accordance with recent recommendations regarding screening for gastric cancer in Korea, endoscopic screening for gastric cancer in Korean Americans should be considered, especially in those with known atrophic gastritis/intestinal metaplasia or a family history of gastric cancer. In the future, additional studies will needed to assess whether a screening program for gastric cancer in Korean Americans will result in a survival benefit.

OBJECTIVEThis study investigated the association between a missense SNP in the codon of ADD1 phosphorylation site and the susceptibility of non-cardia gastric cancer in a Chinese population.
METHODSPhosphoSitePlus and dbSNP database were combined to discover missense SNPs in the codon of phosphorylation site. Then, we genotyped the missense SNP in 1, 998 cases with non-cardia gastric cancer and 2, 008 cancer-free controls of Chinese descent. Analysis was conducted by using Logistic model adjusted by gender and age.
RESULTSThe rs4963 in the codon of ADD1 phosphorylation site was found. The frequencies of the 3 rs4963 genotypes, CC, CG, GG, among controls were 25.2%, 50.4%, and 24.4%, respectively, among patients were 20.1%, 50.6%, and 29.3%, respectively. Compared with CC genotype, the rs4963 CG genotype and GG genotype significantly increased the risk of non-cardia gastric cancer with the odds ratios being 1.24 (95%CI: 1.06 ∼ 1.46, P = 0.008) and 1.49 (95%CI: 1.25 ∼ 1.78, P < 0.001), respectively.
CONCLUSIONSFnnctional polymorphism in the phosphorylation site of ADD1 (rs4963) may influence the susceptibility of non-cardia gastric cancer.

Objective: To understand the distribution of cancer deaths in China in 2015 and provide reference for the prevention and control of cancer. Methods: Based on the results of Global Burden of Disease 2015, the cancer death distributions in different age groups, sex groups, provinces or by different malignant tumor in Chinese were described. Results: The age-standardized mortality rate of cancer was 159.01/100 000 in China in 2015. The mortality rate was highest in age group ≥70 years (1 102.73/100 000), and lowest in age group 5-14 years (5.40/100 000). The mortality rate in males was 2.15 times higher than that in females. The first 5 provinces with high cancer mortality rate were Anhui, Qinghai, Sichuan, Guangxi and Henan. Lung cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer and colorectal cancer ranked 1-5 in term of mortality rate. Conclusion: The cancer mortality differed with age, gender, area and different malignant tumors, suggesting the necessity to develop targeted prevention and control strategies.

OBJECTIVECDH1, encoding E-cadherin, is an important tumor suppressor gene. The present study aims to investigate the association of -160(C-->A) polymorphism in CDH1 gene with susceptibility to gastric cancer in Fujian province.
METHODSOne hundred and two patients from independent families and 101 healthy control subjects were analyzed. Genotype analysis was performed through polymerase chain reaction-based denaturing high performance liquid chromatography. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by unconditional logistic regression model.
RESULTSThe frequencies of -160(C-->A) polymorphism CC, CA and AA genotype in case group and controls were 58(56.9%), 38(37.3%)ì6(5.9%) and 55(54.5%), 41(40.6%), 5(5%), respectively. AA genotype did not present a significantly increased risk for gastric cancer (OR=1.12; 95% CI:0.32-3.95). No association was found between A allele and clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer.
CONCLUSION-160(C-->A) polymorphism in CDH1 gene promoter region may not be in association with genetic susceptibility to gastric cancer in Chinese population from Fujian.
