Objective:To clarify the changes in incidence and mortality of various cancers based on analysis on registration data of malignant tumor incidence and mortality from Dehui City and Yanji City in Jilin Province.Methods:The incidence and mortality data of malignant tumors from 2009 to 2016 in Dehui City and Yanji City in Jilin Province,were collected from the Chinese Cancer Registry Annual Report published by the National Cancer Center.The number of cases,deaths,crude incidence rate,crude mortality rate,age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR),age-standardized mortality rate(ASMR),and annual percentage change(APC)of the malignant tumors were analyzed by cancer sites and genders.Results:From 2009 to 2016,the CIR of malignant tumors in Dehui City(APC=1.2%,P=0.019)and Yanji City(APC=3.6%,P=0.058)showed an increasing trend.After standard population age adjustment,the ASIR in males in Dehui City showed a significant decline(APC=-5.7%,P=0.021),while the ASIR in females exhibited an overall downward trend,but the difference was not significant(APC=-2.2%,P=0.111).In Yanji City,the ASIR in males(APC=-1.4%,P=0.535)and females(APC=0.0%,P=0.988)showed no significant changes.The CMR of malignant tumors in Dehui City(APC=1.9%,P=0.001)and Yanji City(APC=5.9%,P=0.001)showed a continuous upward trend.After age-standardization,the ASMR in males(APC=-3.1%,P=0.100)and females(APC=-4.2%,P=0.053)in Dehui City,as well as in males(APC=-1.3%,P=0.438)in Yanji City,showed a slight downward trend.Although the ASMR in females in Yanji City showed a slight increase,the difference was not statistically significant(APC=0.5%,P=0.838).In 2016,the most common malignant tumor in terms of both incidence and mortality in Dehui City was lung cancer,with a CIR of 60.76/100 000 and a CMR of 46.96/100 000.In Yanji City,the most common malignant tumor was liver cancer,with a CIR of 49.04/100 000 and a CMR of 51.09/100 000.Conclusion:Lung cancer,liver cancer,and gastric cancer are the major malignant tumors threatening residents in Dehui City,Yanji City,and even the entire Jilin Province,and should be prioritized in cancer prevention and control efforts.Early diagnosis and treatment should be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)throat opening and brightening method in treating unilateral vocal cord paralysis(UVCP).Methods Sixty patients with UVCP were prospectively collected and randomly assigned to two groups:the Chinese herbal medicine group(trea-ted with Buyang Huanwu Decoction,n=30)and the throat opening and brightening method group(treated with TCM throat opening and brightening method,n=30).The clinical studies that had utilized injection laryngoplasty for the treatment of UVCP(historical control group).Evaluation indicators included the voice handicap index-10(VHI-10),GRBAS-G,objective acoustic measurements of voice(vocal intensity,F0,shimmer,jitter,HNR),and aerodynamic measurements(maximum phonation time,MPT).Results Before treatment,no significant differences were observed between the two groups in all the evaluation indicators(P＞0.05).Post-treatment,the throat open-ing and brightening method group demonstrated significant improvements in VHI-10,GRBAS-G,shimmer,jitter,HNR,and MPT compared to pre-treatment values(P＜0.01),and these improvements were superior to those in the Chinese herbal medicine group.Pre-treatment VHI-10,GRBAS-G,and shimmer scores in the throat opening and brightening method group were significantly higher than those in the historical literature group(P＜0.01).Af-ter treatment,no significant differences were noted in any assessed parameters between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The TCM throat opening and brightening method significantly enhances phonatory function and quality of life in patients with UVCP,showing comparable efficacy to injection laryngoplasty.

This study aimed to investigate the association between secondhand smoke exposure in different places and overweight/obesity among children and adolescents. Children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 years old in Hunan Province were recruited for questionnaire surveys and physical examinations using a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method. Secondhand smoke exposure was evaluated according to the answer to the question, "Has someone smoked in front of you in the last 7 days?". Overweight and obesity were determined using BMI-for-age and BMI-for-sex according to the national standard WS/T586-2018. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the association between secondhand smoke exposure in different places and overweight/obesity among children and adolescents. A total of 187 863 participants were included in this study, with a prevalence of overweight and obesity of 28.4%. The prevalence of secondhand smoke exposure at home, school and other public places was 25.5%, 12.6% and 32.3%, respectively. Children and adolescents with secondhand smoke exposure at home, school and other public places had a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity than those without exposure. After adjusting for confounding factors, secondhand smoke exposure was positively associated with overweight and obesity among children and adolescents, and exposure at home showed the closest association ( OR=1.091; 95% CI: 1.066-1.117). In conclusion, secondhand smoke exposure, especially at home, significantly increases the risk of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents. Comprehensive strategies should be implemented to avoid secondhand smoke exposure and protect children and adolescents from overweight and obesity.

Objective To compare the image quality of readout-segmented diffusion weighted imaging(RESOLVE-DWI)and integrated slice-by-slice shimming diffusion weighted imaging(iShim-DWI)in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 26 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma confirmed by pathology.The imaging data included RESOLVE-DWI and iShim-DWI.The signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)of the two sequences were compared by one deputy chief imaging technician.And two experienced radiologists used the 5-point scoring scheme to compare the lesion clarity,image artifacts,and antideformation ability of the two sequences,repectively.Results The SNR and CNR of the iShim-DWI sequence were significantly higher than those of RESOLVE-DWI sequence(P＜0.01).While the subjective scores of lesion clarity,image artifacts,and antideformation ability on RESOLVE-DWI were significantly better than those of iShim-DWI,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.01).Conclusion Both RESOLVE-DWI and iShim-DWI obtained good images.With sufficient SNR and CNR,RESOLVE-DWI has clearer lesions and surrounding structures,higher image resolution,fewer artifacts,and better antideformation ability,thus providing clinical advantages in evaluating patients with good physical tolerance.

Objective To evaluate answers to typical clinical questions related to neuro-ophthalmology generated by Artificial Intelligence(AI)Large Language Models(LLM)and to explore the performance of neuro-ophthalmology-related questions on LLM in a multidimensional manner using objective and expert assessment.Methods Multicenter,random-ized,cross-sectional pilot study.Thirty typical questions related to neuro-ophthalmology were selected based on four per-spectives:definition,etiology,clinical manifestations and signs,and treatment and prognosis,and were analyzed quantita-tively using Deepseek,Wenxin Yiyin 4.0,Doubao,and Kimi 1.5,which are four open-source LLMs in China,and quantita-tively analyzed with objective assessment;and quantitatively rated by three ophthalmologists using expert assessment for 120 answer texts.Three ophthalmology experts quantitatively scored the 120 answer texts.Three ophthalmologists quantita-tively scored the 120 answer texts.Level 3,5,and 4 Likert scales were developed according to the completeness,accura-cy,professionalism,relevance,and criticality of the question texts,respectively.The best-performing LLM was selected,and its performance was observed across the four types of questions.Additionally,three other experts assessed whether the best-performing one could be evaluated as a substitute for real-world doctor-patient communication.Results In the objective Chinese text reading difficulty analysis,the differences in total word count among the four LLMs were statistically significant(all P＜0.001).Of the four LLMs,Kimi 1.5 performed the best,with frequencies of 61％,29％,and 41％for the highest scores in completeness(3),accuracy and professionalism(5),and relevance and usefulness(4),respective-ly.Kimi 1.5 performed more consistently on the questions on the four areas of neuro-ophthalmologic disorders:definition,etiology,clinical manifestations and signs,treatment,and prognosis,with no between-group differences(P＞0.05).Con-clusion Chinese language LLMs have great potential in the clinical application of neuro-ophthalmology.Kimi 1.5 outper-forms other LLMs in terms of completeness,accuracy,professionalism,relevance,and usefulness,but it still cannot re-place real-world doctor-patient communication.There is a need to explore new diagnostic and therapeutic model of AI+physician in the future.

Objective:To investigate the neuroprotective effect of nicotinamide riboside(NR)on experimental autoimmune en-cephalomyelitis(EAE)mice.Methods:C57BL/6 female mice were induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein(MOG35-55)to pro-duce EAE model and were randomly divided into EAE group and NR group.From day 3 to day 27 after immunization,each mouse in EAE group was given normal saline(200 μl/d)and each mouse in NR group was given NR(500 mg/kg,200 μl/d)by intragastric administration.Clinical score and body weight of mice in EAE group and NR group were recorded every day.On the 28th day after immunization,the spinal cord protein of mice in each group was extracted and the frozen sections of spinal cord of mice in each group were prepared.LFB staining was used to detect demyelination,immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of MAP-2 and the number of positive cells of NeuN,BDNF,GDNF,NGF and NT-3,and Western blot was used to detect the expressions of BDNF,GDNF,NGF and NT-3 of spinal cord.Results:Compared with EAE group,NR significantly delayed the onset time of EAE mice(P<0.05),decreased clinical score(P<0.05),reduced weight loss,alleviated spinal cord demyelination(P<0.05),increased the expression of MAP-2(P<0.01)and the number of NeuN positive cells(P<0.01),and up-regulated the expressions of BDNF,GDNF,NGF and NT-3(P<0.05).Conclusion:NR shows a good neuroprotective effect on EAE mice.The mechanism may be related to NR significantly increasing the expression of spinal neurotrophic factors,improving the microenvironment of the central nervous sys-tem,nourishing nerves,promoting nerve repair and nerve growth,etc.
