Objective:To evaluate the performance of rural practitioners of endoscopic cleaning and disinfection participating in the Early Diagnosis and Treatment Program for Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:The questionnaires for skill assessment were designed based on the skill scheme and clinical practice of the Early Diagnosis and Treatment Program for Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers in rural China, and the App Early diagnosis, Early treatment was used as the examination platform. The practitioners in 539 county hospitals from 25 provinces participating in the program in 2019 were assessed for techniques and skills for endoscopic cleaning and disinfection and the excellence rate was calculated. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for the examination. Results:A total of 1 671 endoscopic cleaning and disinfection practitioners participated in the assessment with the score of 73.41±16.60. The passing rate was 85.82%, and the excellence rate was 44.94%. Among all questions, the correct rate of "opportunistic screening flow chart" was the highest (98.21%), and that of "the evaluation index for mass screening" was the lowest (57.89%). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the excellence rate was high in practitioners who had a bachelor degree or above ( OR=1.627,95% CI:1.319-2.007, P<0.001), the career for 5 to <15 years (5 to <10 years: OR=1.329,95% CI:1.045-1.689, P=0.020; 10 to <15 years: OR=1.384,95% CI:1.026-1.867, P=0.033), working in eastern and central regions (eastern regions: OR=3.476,95% CI:2.368-5.103, P<0.001;central regions: OR=4.028,95% CI:2.679-6.057, P<0.001) and with full understanding of the screening scheme ( OR=1.547,95% CI:1.246-1.921, P<0.001) . Conclusion:Practitioners on the Early Diagnosis and Treatment Program for Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers in rural China have mastered the basic screening scheme and skills for endoscopic cleaning and disinfection. The education background, duration of the career, area and understanding of screening scheme are influencing factors for the excellence rate of endoscopic cleaning and disinfection.

Objective:To analyze the results of liver cancer screening for urban residents in Zhejiang Province from 2013 to 2018 and explore the influencing factors of the detection rate.Methods:From September 2013 to August 2019, six urban communities in Hangzhou (Jianggan District and Gongshu District), Ningbo (Haishu District, Yinzhou District and Jiangbei District), and Quzhou (Kecheng District) were selected as study sites. All permanent residents aged 40-74 (with local household registration and living in the local area for more than 3 years) were selected as the research subjects by using cluster sampling method. Patients with confirmed cancers and other serious medical and surgical diseases were excluded. A total of 166 293 research subjects were included. Basic demographic characteristics and risk factors of subjects were obtained through questionnaire surveys. The cancer risk assessment system was used to evaluate the liver cancer risk of subjects. Clinical screening participation and screening results for subjects at high risk of liver cancer were obtained from participating hospitals. The high-risk rate of liver cancer, clinical screening rate, detection rate of positive lesions, and detection rate of suspected liver cancer were analyzed. Poisson regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of detection rate.Results:The age of 166 293 subjects was (56.01±8.40) years, of which 41.36% (68 777) were males. A total of 23 765 high-risk subjects for liver cancer were screened (the high-risk rate was 14.29%). Among them, a total of 12 375 subjects participated in clinical screening for liver cancer, with a screening rate of 52.07% (12 375/23 765). A total of 297 cases of positive lesions were detected and the detection rate was 2.40% (297/12 375). A total of 8 cases of suspected liver cancer were detected, with a detection rate of 0.06% (8/12 375). The results of multivariate Poisson regression model analysis showed that compared with men, people who never smoked, never ate pickled food, had low oil content, and had no history of hepatobiliary disease, female, people who were smoking or had smoked, sometimes ate pickled food, ate higher oil content, and had a history of hepatobiliary disease had a higher detection rate of positive lesions. The incidence rate ratio (IRR) ( 95%CI) values were 1.98 (1.45-2.70), 2.23 (1.61-3.09)/2.08 (1.31-3.28), 1.82 (1.22-2.70), 1.44 (1.08-1.91), and 1.45 (1.05-2.00), respectively. Compared with those aged from 40 to 49 years old and without HBsAg test, the IRR (95% CI) of suspected liver cancer in people aged 70 to 74 years old and HBsAg positive were 16.30 (1.32-200.74) and 6.43 (1.24-33.22), respectively. Conclusion:The urban cancer early diagnosis and early treatment project in Zhejiang Province has good compliance in clinical screening of liver cancer. Abdominal ultrasound examination and serum alpha-fetoprotein detection are helpful to detect liver cancer and its precancerous lesions in the high-risk population of liver cancer.

Objective:To describe the epidemiological characteristics of bladder cancer in 2015 and temporal trends in China.Methods:From 501 cancer registries in China, we collected data of cancer new cases, deaths and populations in 2015. After qualified, sex-specific, area-specific, age-specific and overall incidence/mortality rates (including age-standardized rates by Chinese standard population and by world standard population) and estimated cases of bladder cancer were calculated. Annual Percent Change (APC)/Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC) fitted from Log-line model was applied to evaluate the temporal trends of bladder cancer incidence/mortality rates from 1998 to 2015.Results:Bladder cancer is the 13 th most common cancer in China. The crude, age-standardized by China standard population and by world standard population rates were 5.80/10 5, 3.60/10 5 and 3.57/10 5 for incidence, and 2.37/10 5, 1.31/10 5 and 1.32/10 5 for mortality, respectively. The incidence of bladder cancer ranked 7 th in male. The incidence and mortality of male were 3.8 and 4.0 times as high as those of female. Bladder cancer incidence in urban area was 1.4 times as high as that in rural area. Incidence in western areas and middle areas of China were similar, which were lower than that in eastern areas. Geographical distribution characteristics of mortality was along with incidence.Both incidence and mortality remained low before 45 and 55 years old, then they increased rapidly and peaked at 80-84 and over 85 years old age group. Temporal trend analysis suggested that bladder cancer incidence in China increased in 1998-2007 (APC=2.58, P<0.001), while decreased from 2007 to 2015 (APC=-3.82, P<0.001). Bladder cancer mortality declined gradually, with APCs for 1998-2003 and 2003-2015 of 3.65% ( P=0.002) and 1.42% ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Bladder cancer is one of the main cancers in China. Its epidemiological distributions varies among different sex, area and age group. Both incidence and mortality of bladder cancer decline. More efforts on tobacco control should be made, and awareness of early diagnosis and early treatment could be enhanced for the middle-aged and elderly.

Objective:Establishment of a new model of human primary colon cancer transplantation tumor in normal immune mice and to provide a reliable experimental animal model for studying the pathogenesis of colon cancer under normal immunity.Methods:Human colon cancer cells come from colon cancer patients who underwent surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College in 2017. The mice in the cell control group were inoculated with phosphate buffered solution (PBS) containing colon cancer cells, the microcarrier control group was inoculated with PBS containing microcarrier 6, and the cell-microcarrier complex group was inoculated with the PBS containing colon cancer cell-microcarrier complex. The cells of each group were inoculated under the skin of the right axilla of mice by subcutaneous injection, and the time, size, tumor formation rate and pathological changes under microscope were recorded. The transplanted tumor tissue was immunohistochemically stained with the EnVisiion two-step method, and the tumor formation rate of the transplanted tumor was judged according to the proportion of positive cells in the visual field. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was used to detect the expression of human-specific Alu sequence in mice tumor tissue.Results:After inoculation with tumor cells, the mice in the cell control group and the microcarrier control group did not die and did not form tumors; the mice in the cell-microcarrier complex group had palpable subcutaneous tumors in the right axillary subcutaneously on the 5th to 7th days after inoculation, and tumor formation rate is 67% (10/15), and the tumor volume can reach about 500 mm 3 2 to 3 weeks after vaccination. The immunohistochemistry results showed that CK20, CDX-2 and carcinoembryonic antigen were all positively expressed. The PCR results showed that the expression of human-specific Alu sequence can be detected in the transplanted tumor tissue of tumor-bearing mice. Conclusion:Human primary colon cancer cells used microcarrier 6 as a carrier to form tumors in normal immunized mice, and successfully established a new model of human colon cancer transplantation tumor in normal immune mice.
