Background: It is difficult to evaluate the long-term outcome of colorectal cancer screening project in a short period because of the long course of disease. Aims: To explore the epidemiological characteristics and mortality trends of non-neoplastic anorectal diseases among registered population in Pudong New Area, Shanghai from 1995 to 2017, so as to reflect on other aspects or indirectly the efficacy of colorectal cancer screening project. Methods: According to the Mortality Registration System of household registered residents in Pudong New Area, the crude mortality rate, standardized mortality rate, annual percentage change (APC) and other indicators were used to analyze the mortality trends of non-neoplastic anorectal diseases (K50-K52, K55-K63); the contribution of demographic and non-demographic factors to disease death before and after the implementation of colorectal cancer screening project was calculated by the differential decomposition method. Results: From 1995 to 2017, the total crude mortality rate of non-neoplastic anorectal diseases in Pudong New Area was 2.79/100 000, and the standardized mortality rate was 1.23/100 000; the crude mortality rate showed an upward trend (APC=1.67, P=0.009), whereas the standardized mortality rate showed a downward trend (APC=-3.45, P<0.001). For population aged ≥65 years, the crude mortality rate showed an upward trend from 1995 to 2009, and a downward trend from 2009 to 2017, respectively (APC=2.19, P=0.044; APC=-6.85, P=0.007). Death predominantly occurred in population aged ≥80 years. Before and after the screening project (1995-2012 vs. 2013-2017), the added value of demographic and non-demographic factors on total mortality was 1.24/100 000 and -1.33/100 000, respectively. With 1995 as the baseline, the contribution of non-demographic factors to the added value of mortality after screening was -2.25/100 000, with a contribution rate of 48.94%, which was superior to that before screening (-0.92/100 000, with a contribution rate of 45.37%). Conclusions: Aging of the population is the main cause of increased crude mortality rate of non-neoplastic anorectal diseases in Pudong New Area. Screening for colorectal cancer is an effective intervention to reduce the mortality of anorectal diseases and deserves further promotion.

Objective To investigate the effect of ADAR2 on the expression of MAVS and its mechanism.MethodsThe RT-qRCR was used to detect the expression of ADAR gene family, the expression level of ADAR2 and MAVS in cells.The effect of ADAR2 on the 3'UTR region of MAVS was detected by Pyrosequencing.To detect the expression of luciferase by dual luciferase reporter plasmid assay;The expression of ADAR2 and MAVS were detected by Western blot.Results In the ADAR family, the abundance of ADAR1 was the highest, followed by ADAR2, but the expression of ADAR3 was poor, which was almost impossible to detect(P<0.05).ADAR2 played a critical role in RNA editing of chr20:3869744 sites on the 3'UTR region of MAVS(P<0.001).On the 3'UTR editing site of MAVS, the luciferase activity of the edited G allele was significantly lower than that of the normal A allele(P<0.01).At the level of transcription and translation, ADAR2 significantly inhibited the expression of MAVS(P<0.05).Conclusions ADAR2 by editing MAVS` 3'UTR on the chr20:3869744 site, which makes the occurrence of A to G replacement, inhibits the expression of MAVS.

Objective To analyze the incidence,mortality and survival rates of pancreatic cancer in Pudong New Area of Shanghai from 2002 to 2010.Methods The residents in Pudong New Area of Shanghai were recruited in this study during the period 2002 ～ 2010,the incidence,mortality were calculated according to different age groups and genders.The standardized morbidity and mortality of pancreatic cancer were calculated by world standard population.Logarithmic linear regression was used to calculate the annual percentage change (APC) of incidence and mortality.The 1 ～ 5 year survival of pancreatic cancer patients was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method and COX regression analysis,and the survival of patients with different TNM staging,with or without operation was determined.Results Among 3089 newly occurred pancreatic cancer cases during 2002 ～ 2010,1707 and 1382 cases were males and females,respectively,with an average age of (69 ± 12) and (73 ± 12) years old,the crude incidence for both genders was 13.32/100 000,and it was 14.71/100 000 for males,which was higher than that in females (11.93/100 000).The ratio of male and female for incidence of age standardize was 1.57:1.There were 2963 death in total,including 1627 males and 1336 females,with a crude mortality rate of 12.78/100 000.The crude mortality rate for males was 14.02/100 000,which was higher than that in females (11.53/100 000).The ratio of male and female ASR for mortality was 1.55:1.Both incidence and mortality significantly increased for males aged over 35 and females aged over 40.The peak of morbidity and mortality appeared in male over 80 years old,and in female over 85 years old.The 1 ～ 5 year survival rates of pancreatic cancer patients were 16.59％,7.31％,5.23％,4.33％ and 3.87％,respectively.The differences in 1 ～5 year survival rates between surgical and non-surgical management groups were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The median survival time of TNM 0 ～ Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ staging was (250.00 ± 33.37),(224.00 ± 15.82),(86.00 ± 4.52) d.There was a statistically significant difference among the survival of TNM-Ⅳ and TNM 0 ～ Ⅰ,TNM Ⅲ (P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions The incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer in males are higher than those in females in Pudong New Area of Shanghai.The survival is associated with TNM staging at diagnosis and whether surgical operation is performed.

Objective To investigate the effects of labeling Schwann cells with different concentrations of SPIO, and to investigate the feasibility of in vitro MR imaging. Methods The C57BL/6 mices'Schwann cells were isolated, purified, and then 0.5 × 106, 1.0 × 106, 5.0 × 106 cells were labeled with 25.0 μg/ml, 50.0 μg/ml SPIO. Prussian blue stain and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were performed for showing intracellular iron. The signal intensity of cells were evaluated by 3.0 MRI with different sequences in vitro. Results Different cell population (0.5 × 106, 1.0 × 106,5.0 × 106) were cultured with different concentration SPIO about 24 hours. Dyeing degree of labeling cells stained by Prussion blue gradually deepened from 25.0 μg/ml to 50.0 μg/ml. Transmission electron microscope indicated that iron particles accumulated inendosomes/lysosomes. The MR signal intensity of labeling cells were inversely correlated with the concentration of SPIO groups in T2WI and GRE/30° imaging in vitro. Conclusion Schwann cells could be labeled effectively with SPIO, and MRI could be used to monitor these labeled cells in vitro.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with Kawasaki disease complicated by hypoproteinemia.Methods:The clinical data of 105 children patients with Kawasaki disease who received treatment in Ji'an Central People's Hospital, China between January 2015 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into normal-level albumin (ALB) group (≥ 35 g/L, n = 54) and low-level ALB group (< 35 g/L, n = 51). White blood cell count, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bile acid, and coronary artery B-ultrasound examination results were compared between the two groups. Results:The incidence of hypoproteinemia was similar among all age groups. There was significant difference in coronary artery dilatation rate between the two groups (χ 2 = 5.49, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the percentage of patients with hand and foot scleredema and urinary protein-positive rate between the two groups (χ 2 = 0.40, 0.39, both P > 0.05). White blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein level in the low-level ALB group were 15.2 × 10 9/L, (82.1 ± 26.1) mm/h, 94.7 mg/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the normal-level ALB group [11.5 × 10 9/L, (54.5 ± 26.2) mm/h, 43.65 mg/L, Z = -2.94, t = 5.40, Z = -6.01, all P < 0.01]. There were no significant differences in alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and total bile acid levels between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:The incidence of Kawasaki disease complicated by hypoproteinemia is unrelated to age and it is related to inflammatory reaction. Hypoproteinemia is a risk factor of coronary artery dilatation. This study is of great science.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor in the head and neck. The incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma has been increasing in recent years. Although the prognosis of most papillary thyroid carcinoma is better, many patients have poor prognosis due to recurrence or metastasis. Molecular markers play an important role in the development, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. This paper reviews the progress of molecular markers related to papillary thyroid carcinoma.

This study was aimed to investigate the estrogenic effects ofCoicis Semen in order to preliminarily discuss the mechanism. Mouse uterine weight test and MCF-7 cell proliferation assay were used to evaluate the estrogenic effects ofC. Semen. Reporter gene assays were adopted to explore the action mechanism ofC. Semen. In reporter gene assay, HEK293 cells were co-transfected with pERE-TAL-luc, pβgal-Control, pCXN2-hERα, or pCXN2-hERβ. And the expression of reporter gene luc was controlled by ERE. Mouse uterine weight test showed that compared with the control group, the aqueous extracts ofC. Semen can increase the uterus index of premature female mice (P<0.01). It can significantly promote the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in the medium without estrogen (P<0.01). The reporter gene controlled by ERE technology showed thatwhen mediated by ERα or ERβ respectively, the normalized luciferase activity of aqueous extracts ofC. Semen was significantly higher than activity of the control group (P< 0.05 orP< 0.01). It was concluded that the aqueous extracts ofC.Semen can increase the uterus index of premature female mice and promote the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in the medium without estrogen. We found the estrogenic effects ofC. Semen for the first time. And the estrogenic effects ofC. Semen were mainly mediated by ERβ.

Objective:To investigate the optimal dose of dexmedetomidine combined with propofol for anesthesia in patients undergoing modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT).Methods:One hundred and sixty patients of both sexes, aged 20-60 yr, weighing 45-80 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective MECT, were allocated into 4 groups ( n=40 each) by a random number table method: different doses of dexmedetomidine combined with propofol group (D 1, D 2 and D 3 groups) and routine anesthesia group (group C). Dexmedetomidine 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 μg/kg were intravenously injected in D 1, D 2 and D 3 groups, respectively, the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C, and propofol 1.0 mg/kg and succinylcholine 0.5 mg/kg were intravenously injected in turn 10 min later.Venous blood samples were collected before giving dexmedetomidine (T 0) and at 1 min after the end of MECT (T 1) for determination of the plasma epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) concentrations.Propofol consumption, occurrence of cardiovascular events, duration of epilespsy and energy suppression index were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, the plasma E and NE concentrations were significantly decreased at T 4, and the propofol consumption was reduced in D 1, D 2 and D 3 groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group D 2, the plasma E and NE concentrations were significantly increased at T 1 in group D 1 and decreased at T 1 in group D 3 ( P<0.05). The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events was significantly increased in group D 3 than in the other 3 groups ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in duration of epilespsy or energy suppfession index among the 4 groups( P>0.05). Conclusion:The optimal dose of dexmedetomidine combined with propofol 1.0 mg/kg is 0.4 μg/kg when used for anesthesia in the patients undergoing MECT.

OBJECTIVETo provide basic data for the prevention of oral diseases in minorities by investigating the oral health status and behavior related to oral health knowledge of individuals aged 35 to 44 years in Dongxiang, Bonan, and Yugur.

METHODSThe caries and periodontal health of 445 individuals aged 35 to 44 years were examined according to the method and criterion prescribed by the World Health Organization and the Third National Oral Health Epidemiologic Investigation. A questionnaire survey on related oral health knowledge and behavior was conducted.

RESULTSThe crown caries prevalence rate in Dongxiang, Baoan, and Yugur were 48.28%, 79.47%, and 67.11%, respectively; the root caries prevalence rates were 38.62%, 69.54%, and 42.95%, respectively. The rates of gum bleeding in Dongxiang, Bonan, and Yugur were 86.90%, 90.07%, and 65.77%, respectively. The rates of dental calculus in Dongxiang, Bonan, and Yugur were 99.31%, 100.00%, 99.33%, respectively, and the rates of periodontal bags were 68.97%, 67.55%, and 43.62%, respectively. Only 69.84% of the respondents brush their teeth every day; 94.90% of the respondents do not floss. Only 20.19% of the respondents contact a doctor for a toothache, and 42.23% of the respondents have never seen a dentist.

CONCLUSIONCaries morbidity is high among the respondents aged 35 to 44 years from Dongxiang, Bonan, and Yugur. The periodontal health status and oral hygiene of the respondents are poor, and behavior related to oral health knowledge is insufficient. Thus, more attention must be provided to the prevention and control of caries and periodontal diseases among middle-aged people in the area.
