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.

ObjectiveTo analyze trends in the incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer among the registered residents in Jinhua City of Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2024, and to predict incidence and mortality rates from 2025 to 2027, thereby providing a reference for refining prevention and control strategies. MethodsData on pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality among the registered residents in Jinhua City from 2016 to 2024 were collected. The Joinpoint regression model was used to calculate the average annual percentage change (AAPC) to analyze the temporal trends of pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality. Furthermore, a GM (1,1) model was constructed using Excel 2019 to predict incidence rates and mortality rates for the years 2025 to 2027. ResultsFrom 2016 to 2024, the crude incidence and crude mortality rates of pancreatic cancer among the registered residents in Jinhua City were 8.41/100 000 and 8.19/100 000, respectively, both showing upward trends (AAPC=3.55%, 95%CI: 1.69%-5.63%; AAPC=3.35%, 95%CI: 1.08%-5.93%), while the standardized incidence and mortality rates were 5.21/100 000 and 4.93/100 000, respectively, with no statistically significant trends (AAPC=1.12% and 0.52%, both P>0.05). The incidence and mortality rates of pancreatic cancer were higher in men than in women. Both crude incidence and crude mortality rates rose steadily with increased age (both P<0.01). According to the GM (1,1) model, the crude mortality rate of pancreatic cancer among the registered residents in Jinhua City is projected to continue its upward trend from 2025 to 2027 (9.37/100 000, 9.60/100 000, and 9.83/100 000, respectively). ConclusionFrom 2016 to 2024, both the crude incidence and crude mortality rates of pancreatic cancer among registered residents in Jinhua City showed continuous upward trends, and the crude mortality rate is likely to continue rising from 2025 to 2027. Efforts to prevent and control pancreatic cancer should be strengthened, particularly among men and the very elderly.

As one of the common chronic bacterial infections, Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is a key pathogenic factor of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. In the formation of gastric ulcer, Hp virulence factors directly damage the gastric mucosal barrier, induce the local inflammation and immune response, interfere with the regulation of gastric acid secretion, and ultimately destroy the mucosal stability. In the occurrence of gastric cancer, Hp-driven chronic inflammation is the basis of inflammation-cancer transformation, and it induces the genomic instability and epigenetic changes by interfering with key signaling pathways in host cells, thereby promoting malignant transformation. This paper systematically reviews the related mechanisms of Hp-induced gastric ulcer and gastric cancer in recent years, holding great significance for the development of new intervention strategies and the precise prevention and treatment of gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE To develop a pharmacist-led intervention model for reducing drug-related medical insurance claim denial risks, so as to provide practical references for healthcare institutions in fulfilling their primary responsibility for medical insurance fund supervision. METHODS A risk matrix method was employed by the pharmacists to assess the risks associated with drug‑related medical insurance claim rejections in our hospital during 2024. Intervention measures were developed targeting high‑risk factors (including inappropriate indications for medical insurance coverage, exceeding the covered treatment course, and inappropriateness of gender and age) from three dimensions, namely organizational structure, technical prevention and control, and closed‑loop management. Changes in drug‑related claim rejection data were compared between 2024 (pre‑intervention) and 2025 (post‑intervention), and the interception effect of the pre‑prescription review system was evaluated after the intervention. RESULTS After the intervention, the total amount of drug‑related medical insurance claim rejections in our hospital was reduced by 57.24% compared with that before the intervention, and the number of rejected items decreased from 10 108 to 2 892. Specifically, the number of rejected items due to inappropriate indications, exceeded treatment course, inappropriate gender, and inappropriate age was reduced by 70.94%, 74.26%, 83.86%, and 96.70%, respectively. Throughout the year following the intervention, a total of 5.605 yuan million in outpatient prescription drug amounts and 4.683 million yuan in inpatient medication order amounts that did not meet the insurance‑limited payment requirements were intercepted by the pre‑prescription review system. The proportion of drug‑related claim rejection amount to the total medical service claim rejection amount of our hospital decreased to 19.7%. CONCLUSIONS The pharmacist-led multi-department collaborative, technical prevention and control, and dynamic optimization integrated full-process intervention model is highly operable and has significant practical effects. It has important promotion value in reducing drug-related medical insurance claim denial risks.

Objective:To explore the latent trajectory class of perioperative pain catastrophizing in patients undergoing lumbar internal fixation surgery and analyze the influencing factors of these latent classes.Methods:A total of 180 patients who underwent lumbar internal fixation surgery at Xinxiang Central Hospital from January to December 2023 were selected using convenience sampling. The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) was used to assess pain catastrophizing at 1 day preoperatively and on postoperative days 3, 7, and 14. Latent Class Growth Modeling (LCGM) was employed to identify trajectory classes of pain catastrophizing, and Logistic regression analysis was used to examine their influencing factors.Results:A total of 177 patients completed the follow-up, with a follow-up rate of 98.33% (177/180) . The overall perioperative PCS score was (30.39±10.86) . PCS scores at 1 day preoperatively and on postoperative days 3, 7, and 14 were (37.63±6.23) , (33.27±6.00) , (28.55±9.02) , and (23.81±9.33) , respectively. The proportions of patients with PCS≥38 at the four times were 42.94% (76/177) , 23.16% (41/177) , 22.60% (40/177) , and 12.43% (22/177) , respectively. LCGM identified three latent trajectory classes of perioperative pain catastrophizing: "high-level declining group" (55.93%, 99/177) , "high-level fluctuating group" (28.81%, 51/177) , and "persistent high-level group" (15.25%, 27/177) . Logistic regression analysis showed that payment method, surgical duration, and preoperative PCS score were significant influencing factors of pain catastrophizing trajectory classes ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Pain catastrophizing levels in patients undergoing lumbar internal fixation surgery peaked preoperatively. While most patients showed a declining trend postoperatively, a subset exhibited fluctuating or persistently high levels. Payment method, surgical duration, and preoperative pain catastrophizing levels significantly influenced the trajectory of pain catastrophizing, warranting attention from clinical nursing staff.
