Objective:Survival analysis of cancers' incidence data in Tianjin from 2010 to 2016 was conducted to provide the basis for formulating and evaluating regional health policies on cancer prevention and treatment.Methods:Registration data in Tianjin were used between January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2016 and patients were followed-up till 31 December, 2021. Life-table method was used to calculate the observed survival rate and Edered Ⅱ was used to calculate the relative survival rate. The data were stratified by year, gender, age group and cancer sites. Difference in survival curves between group was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method and Log rank test. Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the trend change.Results:The 5-year relative survival rates of cancer were 41.92% to 53.65% from 2010 to 2016 for residents in Tianjin, with an increasing trend ( t=4.81 ,P=0.005), and the average was 48.56%. The survival rate of females was higher than that of males (57.71%vs. 39.20%), and the survival rate of urban residents was higher than that of rural residents (49.38% vs. 47.24%). The 5-year relative survival rates were 63.14%, 78.39%, 58.25% and 32.67% in 0-14, 15-44, 45-64 and 65 and above age groups, respectively. The median relative survival times of all cancer were 2.34 to 6.00 years from 2010 to 2016 in Tianjin, with an increasing trend ( t=3.86, P=0.012). The average of median relative survival times was 4.11 years. The median survival time of females was longer than that of males (11.99 years vs. 2.03 years), and the time of urban residents were longer than that of rural residents (4.60 years vs. 3.43 years). The median relative survival time were 12.07, 11.92 and 1.34 years in 15-44, 45-64 and 65 and above age groups, respectively. Conclusions:The cumulative survival rate of cancer increased significantly from 2010 to 2016 in Tianjin, indicating that the prevention and treatment effect of cancer is obvious. The focus should be on male, rural areas, higher age group, and targeted prevention and treatment measures should be taken to lung, esophagus, liver, gallbladder and pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To explore the trends and distribution of liver cancer between sexes, ages, and urban-rural areas in Tianjin, China from 1999 to 2021, and provide data for targeted prevention and control strategies of liver cancer in Tianjin.Methods:Liver cancer mortality data of Tianjin during 1999-2021 were from the Tianjin population based mortality surveillance system maintained by the Tianjin Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the population data of permanent Tianjin residents were from Tianjin Municipal Public Security Bureau. Liver cancer mortality, years of life lost (YLL), years lived with disability (YLD), and disability adjusted life years (DALY) were calculated using the cause of death surveillance data collected by Tianjin Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The distributions of these data among residents of different sexes, ages, and regions were analyzed. Segi's world standard population was used for standardization. Joinpoint regression was used for trend analysis on the mortality rate of liver cancer and the disease burden.Results:The liver cancer mortality rate in Tianjin decreased by 46.75% from 1999 to 2021, with distinct phased characteristics. From 1999 to 2010, the age-sex-standardized mortality rate (SMR) decreased from 12.62/100 000 to 11.64/100 000 with an annual percent change (APC) of -1.32% ( P=0.003). From 2010 to 2021, the SMR decreased from 11.64/100 000 to 6.72/100 000 (APC=-3.89%, P＜0.001). The age-sex-standardized DALY rates(SDR) decreased by 50.63% from 1999 to 2021, also with distinct phased characteristics. From 1999 to 2010, the SDR decreased from 388.67/100 000 to 349.38/100 000 (APC=-1.35%, P=0.002). From 2010 to 2021, the SDR decreased from 349.38/100 000 to 191.88/100 000 (APC=-4.43%, P＜0.001). The liver cancer mortality rate declined most rapidly in the age group under 45 years; the APC for those under 35 years was -5.07% ( P＜0.001), and for those aged 35-44 years, the APC was 0.63% ( P=0.707) and -8.21% ( P＜0.001) before and after 2007, respectively. Both SMR and SDR were significantly higher in males than in females ( P＜0.01). Both SMR and SDR were significantly higher in urban areas than in rural areas from 1999 to 2007 ( P＜0.05), but they became similar after 2008. Liver cancer DALY are predominantly YLL, accounting for 99%. The median age of liver cancer deaths in Tianjin during 1999-2021 was 64-68 years old, with males lower than females ( P＜0.05), and rural areas lower than urban areas ( P＜0.05), generally showing an increasing trend (1999-2014: APC=0.11%, P=0.047; 2014-2021: APC=0.51%, P=0.005). Conclusions:Liver cancer mortality rate and disease burden decreased from 1999 to 2021 in Tianjin, with an especially accelerated decline after 2010. Further efforts to reduce liver cancer mortality in Tianjin are needed, and special attention should be focused on the elderly, male, and rural residents.

Objective To evaluate the regulatory effects of psilocybin on social behavior of male C57BL/6J mice.Methods Adult male C57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with psilocybin(0.2,1 and 5 mg/kg,i.p.),and the effects of psilocybin on prosocial behavior were evaluated by the three-chamber test.Stressed mice undergoing chronic social defeat stress(CSDS)were given acute intraperitoneal injection of psilocybin(1 mg/kg)to evaluate the moderation of social novelty preference behavior using the modified two-chamber test.Results Intraperitoneal injection of psilocybin(1 mg/kg)promoted prosocial behavior and prolonged social time(P＜0.01),while intraperitoneal injection of psilocybin(0.2 mg/kg)had no apparent effect on the prosocial behavior of mice,and intraperitoneal injection of psilocybin(5 mg/kg)inhibited prosocial behavior before promoting it.Further studies showed that intraperitoneal injection of psilocybin(1 mg/kg)increased the social novelty exploration time in stressed mice undergoing CSDS.Conclusion This study shows that 1 mg/kg dose of psilocybin can promote the prosocial behavior in mice,and potentially ameliorate the deficit of social novelty preference behavior in CSDS mice.

Objective:Analyze the impact of smoking on the mortality and life expectancy of residents in Tianjin in 2019.Methods:Use mortality case-control study method to collect all cause of death cases of residents in Tianjin in 2019 for analysis. After adjusting for the 5-years-old age group, education level, and marital status, the smoking attributed deaths from different diseases of different genders, smoking attributed deaths in different age groups, and their impact on life expectancy were analyzed.Results:The total number of deaths in 2019 was 75 254, with 42 201 males (56.1%). Among male deaths, 3 215 (9.9%) were attributed to smoking, of which 2 157 (50.2%) lung cancer deaths were attributed to smoking; The risk of lung cancer death among smokers was 3.075 times higher than that of non-smokers (95% CI: 2.812-3.364); Among the 33 053 female deaths (43.9%), 1 396 (5.8%) were caused by smoking, with 744 (29.1%) lung cancer deaths attributed to smoking. The age group with the highest number of deaths attributed to smoking for women was the 75-<80 years old age group, followed by the 70-<75 and 80-<85 years old age groups. The age group with the highest proportion of deaths attributed to smoking for men was the 55-<60 years old age group. In addition, smoking accounts for more than 60% of deaths in the 60-<65, 45-<50, 55-<60, and 65-<70 years old age groups. In 2019, the loss of life expectancy attributed to smoking deaths among all residents in Tianjin was 1.13 years, with a loss of 1.15 years for males and 0.57 years for females. The expected life expectancy excluding deaths caused by smoking was 82.92 years, 80.77 years for males and 84.61 years for females. Conclusions:Smoking remains one of the important risk factors for death among residents. Promoting effective measures to reduce smoking rates is an effective way to increase life expectancy.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of tobacco control in different public places after 10 year implementation of Tobacco Control Regulations in Tianjin, investigate the tobacco exposure and tobacco hazard awareness of local population, and provide evidence for the implementation of tobacco control policies and measures.Methods:Data were collected in the tobacco control surveys in Tianjin in 2012 and 2021. On-site observation was used to evaluate the implementation of tobacco control measures in different public places in Tianjin, and face-to-face interview was used to collect the information about passive smoking exposure and tobacco-related knowledge awareness of local residents aged ≥15 years in Tianjin.Results:From 2012 to 2021, the posting rate of smoking free signs in medical institutions was high (100.0%), the posting rate in schools, government offices increased to 100.0%, but posting rate in taxis decreased obviously. The placing rate of tobacco control materials in medical institutions, public transportation waiting places and internet cafes decreased, while the placing rate in other places increased. Except for taxis, the places where people were found to be smoking decreased. The passive smoking exposure in public places and workplaces decreased from 43.2% to 26.6%. The public awareness that smoking can cause stroke increased by 11.3%, but the public awareness rate of smoking causing heart disease decreased and lung cancer by 7.7% and 7.2% respectively. The awareness rate of passive smoking causing heart disease in adults, lung disease in children and lung cancer in adults decreased by 21.8%, 22.1% and 9.1%, respectively.Conclusion:Since the implementation of the Tobacco Control Regulation in Tianjin, the passive smoking exposures have been reduced, but the environment layout of smoking free places, especially the health education about tobacco hazards, needs to be further improved. It is suggested to strengthen the promotion and supervision of tobacco control to create a smoke free environment.

Pheretima,also called"earthworms",is a well-known animal-derived traditional Chinese medicine that is extensively used in over 50 Chinese patent medicines(CPMs)in Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020 edi-tion).However,its zoological origin is unclear,both in the herbal market and CPMs.In this study,a strategy for integrating in-house annotated protein databases constructed from close evolutionary relationship-sourced RNA sequencing data from public archival resources and various sequencing al-gorithms(restricted search,open search,and de novo)was developed to characterize the phenotype of natural peptides of three major commercial species of Pheretima,including Pheretima aspergillum(PA),Pheretima vulgaris(PV),and Metaphire magna(MM).We identified 10,477 natural peptides in the PA,7,451 in PV,and 5,896 in MM samples.Five specific signature peptides were screened and then validated using synthetic peptides;these demonstrated robust specificity for the authentication of PA,PV,and MM.Finally,all marker peptides were successfully applied to identify the zoological origins of Brain Heart capsules and Xiaohuoluo pills,revealing the inconsistent Pheretima species used in these CPMs.In conclusion,our integrated strategy could be used for the in-depth characterization of natural peptides of other animal-derived traditional Chinese medicines,especially non-model species with poorly annotated protein databases.
