Objective To investigate whether elevated levels of C?reactive protein ( CRP ) and neutrophil (NE) in the blood is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer incidence. Methods From 2006 to 2007, all employees and retirees from Kailuan (Group) Limited liability Corporation were included in this Kailuan Cohort study. The last follow?up date was December 2015. Data on new cases of lung cancer were collected, and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to the relationship between baseline CRP and NE at baseline and risk of lung cancer. Results A total of 92 735 participants were enrolled in this study. During the follow?up, 850 new cases of lung cancer were identified. All subjects were divided into four groups according to the combination level of CRP and NE at baseline: CRP≤3 mg/L and NE≤4×109/L(Group A), CRP≤3 mg/L and NE>4×109/L( Group B), CRP>3 mg/L and NE≤4× 109/L(Group C), CRP>3 mg/L and NE>4×109/L(Group D). The cumulative incidence of lung cancer were 950/100 000, 1 030/100 000, 1 081/100 000 and 1 596/100 000 in these four groups, respectively (P<0.001 ). Multivariate Cox proportional risk model showed that participants from Group D had an significantly increased 72% risks of lung cancer when compared to Group A ( 95% CI: 1.40~2.12, P<0.001). Stratified analyses gender showed that males in Group D had higher risk of lung cancer when compared with participants in Group A (HR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.40~2.15,P<0.001).Conclusion Elevated levels of CRP and NE might increase the risk of lung cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of clinic standardized blood pressure measurement model (SBPM) applying to first blood pressure measurement among community population aged 35 years old and above.Methods:SBPM was implemented in the community health service center of Dapuqiao street, Huangpu district of Shanghai from June 1, 2018, and the data between June 1 and December 31, 2018 was used as the SBPM data. The first-diagnosis blood pressure measurement data in this center between June 1 and December 31, 2017 was used as the conventional measurement (CM) model data. The detection rate of elevated blood pressure under SBPM was standardized according to the gender and age distribution of subjects in CM. The equilibrium of the value distribution of the end digit of blood pressure value in different pressure-measuring models and difference of elevated blood pressure rate of subjects with different characteristics and seasons were analyzed by using the χ 2 test, and the difference of standardized elevated blood pressure rate in different pressure-measuring models was analyzed by using the U test. Results:The SBPM included 1 548 subjects and 639 (41.28%) of them were males. The CM included 2 952 inpatients and 1 196 (40.51%) of them were males. The frequency of the end digit of blood pressure in SBPM ranged from 9.04% to 10.72%, and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed a balanced distribution of end digit ( P values were 0.996 and 0.981 respectively). The frequency of blood pressure end digital in the CM ranged from 0.37% to 67.92%, and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed an unbalanced distribution (both P values <0.001). The crude rate and standardized elevated blood pressure rate in SBPM were 23.19% (359/1 548) and 23.05%, which were higher than that in CM, about 7.22% (213/2 952) (both P values <0.001). The elevated blood pressure rate in SBPM in summer, autumn and winter was 18.85% (141/748), 26.72% (152/591) and 31.58% (66/209), respectively, which was higher than that in CM, about 6.28% (91/1 450), 7.20% (82/1 139) and 11.02% (40/363), respectively (all P values <0.001). Conclusion:The quality of blood pressure data and the efficiency of hypertension screening of SBPM are better than those of CM when applying to first blood pressure measurement among community population aged 35 years old and above.

Objective:To investigate the association between metabolic syndrome (MS) components and renal cell cancer in Chinese males.Methods:All male employees and retirees of the Kailuan Group were recruited in the Chinese Kailuan Male Cohort Study. They had been experienced routine physical examinations ever two years since May 2006. A total of 104 274 males were prospectively observed by 31 December 2015. Information on demographics, height, weight, blood glucose, blood lipid, blood pressure, as well as the information of incident renal cell cancer cases were collected at the baseline investigation by questionnaire, physical measurement and laboratory test. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the association between baseline MS and MS components (body mass index, blood glucose, blood lipid, blood pressure) and the risk of renal cell cancer in males.Results:A total of 104 274 males were recruited in our study with a age of (51.21±13.46) years, with 823 892.96 person-years follow-up and the median follow-up time was 8.88 years. A total of 131 new renal cell cancer cases were identified in the Kailuan male cohort study, and the crude incidence density was 15.90 per 100,000 person-years. Compared with no MS, the hazard ratios ( HR) (95% CI) of MS was 1.97 (1.32-2.94).When compared with normal level, the HR (95% CI) of obesity or overweight, hypertension, and dyslipidemia was 1.49 (1.04-2.14), 1.56 (1.06-2.29), and 1.77(1.23-2.54), after adjusting for potential confounding factors (i.e., age, education, income, smoke, and alcohol drink), respectively. In addition, a statistically significant trend ( P for trend<0.001) of increased renal cell cancer risk with an increasing number of abnormal MS components was observed. Conclusion:Obesity or overweight, hypertension, dyslipidemia and MS may increase the risk of renal cell cancer for Chinese males.

Objective:To investigate the association between total cholesterol (TC) and primary liver cancer in Chinese males.Methods:Since May 2006, all the male workers, including the employees and the retirees in Kailuan Group were recruited in the Kailuan male dynamic cohort study. Information about demographics, medical history and TC levels was collected at the baseline interview, as well as information on newly-diagnosed primary liver cancer cases during the follow-up period. A total of 110 612 males were recruited in the cohort by 31 December 2015. TC levels were divided into four categories by quartile (<4.27, 4.27-4.90, 4.90-5.56 and ≥5.56 mmol/L), with the first quartile group serving as the referent category. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to evaluate the association between TC levels and primary liver cancer risk.Results:By December 31, 2015, a follow-up of 861 711.45 person-years was made with a median follow-up period of 8.83 years. During the follow-up, 355 primary liver cancer cases were identified. Compared with the first quartile, the HR of incident primary liver cancer among participants with the second, third and highest quartile TC levels were 0.76 (95% CI: 0.58-1.01), 0.59 (95% CI: 0.43-0.79), and 0.36 (95% CI: 0.25-0.52), respectively after adjusting for age, educational level, income level, smoking status, drinking status, body mass index, and HBsAg status ( P for trend<0.001). Subgroup analyses found that the association between TC levels and primary liver cancer was robust (all P for trend<0.05). The results didn’t change significantly after exclusion of newly-diagnosed cases within the first 2 years, males with history of cirrhosis or subjects who took antihyperlipidemic drugs, participants with higher TC levels had a lower risk of primary liver cancer (all P for trend<0.05) and HR(95% CI) of incident primary liver cancer among participants with the highest quartile TC levels were 0.41 (0.28-0.61), 0.36 (0.25-0.53) and 0.38 (0.26-0.54), respectively. Conslusion:In this large prospective study, we found that baseline TC levels were inversely associated with primary liver cancer risk, and low TC level might increase the risk of primary liver cancer.

ObjectiveTo analyze the monitoring data of schistosomiasis from 2004 to 2021 in Suzhou New District, Jiangsu Province, and to provide evidence for improving schistosomiasis elimination strategies. MethodsFollowing the Opinions on Prevention and Control of Schistosomiasis, Parasitic Diseases and Endemic Diseases in Suzhou and the Technical Plan for Prevention and Control of Schistosomiasis, Parasitic Diseases and Endemic Diseases in Suzhou, the monitoring of schistosomiasis in the population and snail habitats from 2004 to 2021 was conducted. The Mann-Kendall method and Joinpoint regression method were employed to analyze the trend of epidemic indicators (such as seropositive rate, prevalence of snail frames, etc.). Time series analysis (exponential smoothing model) was conducted to predict snail occurrence. ResultsFrom 2004 to 2021, a total of 73 680 people were serologically tested for schistosomiasis, with a positive rate of 0.084%. The seropositivity rate showed statistically significant differences between different years (χ2=70.73, P<0.05), but there was no significant trend over time. In addition, 3 053 fecal tests were conducted and no positive result was found. The snail habitats covered an area of 70.11 hm2 and showed a decreasing trend (Z=-1.97, P<0.05). A total of 30 093 frames were surveyed, of which 19.038% contained snails. The difference in the prevalence of snail frames between different years was statistically significant (χ2=7 203.09, P<0.05), with a decreasing trend in the prevalence of snail frames (Z=-2.05, P<0.05). A total of 26 296 live snails were seized and density of live snails was 0.874 snails per frame, showing a decreasing trend in the density of live snails (Z=-2.35, P<0.05). A total of 12 391 snails were dissected and no infected snail was found. The areas treated with molluscicides remained stable at 264.60 hm2. An area of 27.77 hm2 achieved the goal of snail eradication through environmental modification, with a decreasing trend (Z=-2.44, P<0.05). It is estimated that the prevalence of snail frames and snail density will remain relatively stable from 2022 to 2026, but the snail habitat area will fluctuate significantly, showing an increasing trend. ConclusionNo indigenous cases of schistosomiasis and no infected snails are reported, indicating the successful consolidation of schistosomiasis prevention and control measures. However, the snail habitat area fluctuates greatly with an increasing trend, suggesting the need for long-term Oncomelania snail monitoring in local areas.
