Objective:
To analyze the trends in incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2024, and to predict the incidence and mortality from 2025 to 2027, so as to provide the evidence for improving regional colorectal cancer prevention and control strategies.
Methods:
Data on incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in Jinhua City from 2016 to 2024 were collected through the Zhejiang Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System. The crude incidence and crude mortality were calculated, and standardized using the data from the Sixth National Population Census in 2010. Trends in incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer from 2016 to 2024 were analyzed using the average annual percent change (AAPC). A grey Markov model was constructed to predict the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer from 2025 to 2027.
Results:
From 2016 to 2024, the crude incidence and standardized incidence of colorectal cancer in Jinhua City were 46.90/100 000 and 30.69/100 000, respectively, showing upward trends (AAPC=4.594% and 2.051%, both P<0.05). The crude mortality and standardized mortality were 17.47/100 000 and 10.36/100 000, respectively, and the trends were not statistically significant (both P>0.05). The standardized incidence and standardized mortality of colorectal cancer in males were higher than those in females (35.38/100 000 vs. 25.68/100 000, 11.96/100 000 vs. 8.57/100 000, both P<0.05). The crude incidence and crude mortality of colorectal cancer in the ≥80 years age group were the highest, at 220.04/100 000 and 186.86/100 000, respectively. From 2016 to 2024, the standardized incidence of colorectal cancer in males and females showed upward trends (AAPC=5.069% and 3.965%, both P<0.05), while the trends in standardized mortality were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The crude incidence in the 70-<80 years age group showed an upward trend (AAPC=1.320%, P<0.05), and the crude mortality in the 40-<50 years age group showed a downward trend (AAPC=-3.756%, P<0.05). Trends in other age groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The prediction results of the grey Markov model showed that the predicted values of crude incidence and crude mortality of colorectal cancer in the whole population would increase from 58.20/100 000 and 20.04/100 000 in 2025 to 61.70/100 000 and 21.26/100 000 in 2027.
Conclusions
From 2016 to 2024, the incidence of colorectal cancer in Jinhua City showed upward trends, while the mortality trend was stable. Males and the elderly aged ≥80 years are high-risk populations for colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. It is predicted that both crude incidence and crude mortality will increase from 2025 to 2027.

Objective:
To analyze the trends in incidence and mortality of prostate cancer in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2024, so as to provide the evidence for the improvement of prostate cancer prevention and control measures.
Methods:
The incidence and mortality data of prostate cancer in Jinhua City from 2016 to 2024 were collected from the Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System of Zhejiang Province, and the crude incidence and mortality were calculated. The Chinese Sixth National Population Census in 2010 was used to calculate standardized incidence and mortality. The trends in incidence and mortality of prostate cancer were evaluated using average annual percent change (AAPC).
Results:
A total of 8 357 cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed in Jinhua City from 2016 to 2024. The crude incidence and standardized incidence were 37.36/100 000 and 21.17/100 000, respectively, showing upward trends (AAPC=16.275%, 12.511%, both P<0.05). There were 1 615 deaths of prostate cancer, and the crude mortality was 7.22/100 000, showing an upward trend (AAPC=5.451%, P<0.05). The standardized mortality was 3.49/105, and the trend showed no statistically significant (P>0.05). There were 28 cases of prostate cancer in individuals under 50 years old, accounting for 0.34%. The crude incidence and crude mortality of patients aged ≥50 years increased with age (both P<0.05). From 2016 to 2024, the crude incidence of prostate cancer in the 50-<60, 60-<70, 70-<80, and ≥80 age groups showed upward trends (AAPC=17.849%, 14.704%, 12.654% and 8.081%, all P<0.05), and the 50-<60 age group increased more quickly. There was no significant change in the crude mortality of prostate cancer among different age groups (all P>0.05).
Conclusion
From 2016 to 2024, the incidence of prostate cancer in Jinhua City showed an upward trend and had a trend of becoming younger, while the mortality remained relatively stable.

Cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a widely used biomarker for assessing cardiovascular risk, can provide a window for the evaluation of drug-induced myocardial injury. Label-free biosensors are promising candidates for detecting cell secretomes, since they do not require labor-intensive processes. In this work, a label-free electrochemical aptasensor is developed for in situ monitoring of cardiac cell secretomes in cell culture media based on target-induced strand displacement. The aptasensing system contains an aptamer-functionalized signal nanoprobe facing trimetallic metal-organic framework nanosheets and a gold nanoparticle-based detection working electrode modified with DNA nanotetrahedron-based complementary DNA for indirect target detection. The signal nanoprobes (termed CAHA) consisted of copper-based metal-organic frameworks, AuPt nanoparticles, horseradish peroxidase, and an aptamer. When the aptasensor is exposed to cardiac cell secretomes, cTnI competitively binds to the aptamer, resulting in the release of signal nanoprobes from the biorecognition interface and electrochemical signal changes. The aptasensor exhibited rapid response times, a low detection limit of 0.31 pg/mL, and a wide linear range of 0.001-100 ng/mL. We successfully used this aptasensor to measure cTnI concentrations among secreted cardiac markers during antitumor drug treatment. In general, aptasensors can be used to monitor a variety of cardiac biomarkers in the evaluation of cardiotoxicity.
