Objective:To analyze the changing trend of cervical cancer epidemiological characteristics and disease burden in cancer registration areas of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi) from 2010 to 2017, and to provide scientific basis for the development of cervical cancer prevention and control strategies in Guangxi.Methods:Using descriptive analysis method, based on the incidence and death data of cervical cancer in the tumor registration areas of Guangxi from 2010 to 2017, Crude morbidity, crude mortality, age-standardized morbidity and mortality (referred to as the winning rate), disability adjusted life years (DALYs) rate and the annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) of the above indicators were calculated, and stratified analysis was conducted for urban and rural areas and different age groups.Results:From 2010 to 2017, the crude incidence rate of cervical cancer in Guangxi showed a significant upward trend, rising from 10.31/10 5 in 2010 to 19.94/10 5 in 2017, with an average annual growth rate of 7.9% ( P＜0.05). However, after age standardization, the trend of the age-standardized incidence rate of cervical cancer was not statistically significant ( P＞0.05). During the same period, the crude mortality rate of cervical cancer increased from 2.69/10 5 to 6.21/10 5, with an average annual growth rate of 13.1% ( P＜0.05), and the trend of the age-standardized mortality rate was basically consistent with that of the crude mortality rate. The analysis of urban-rural differences showed that the growth rates of the crude incidence rate and crude mortality rate of cervical cancer in rural areas were higher than those in urban areas from 2010 to 2017 (AAPC incidence rate: 21.3% vs. 2.3%; AAPC mortality rate: 20.1% vs. 8.4%). The analysis of age differences showed that the crude incidence rate and crude mortality rate of cervical cancer in all age groups increased to varying degrees, among which the growth rate of the incidence rate (AAPC=16.2%, P＜0.05) and mortality rate (AAPC=14.7%, P＜0.05) of cervical cancer in women aged 65 and above was the fastest. In addition, the DALYs rate of cervical cancer in Guangxi increased from 50.6/10 5 in 2010 to 111.0/10 5 in 2017, with an average annual increase of 11.9% ( P＜0.05). The growth rate of the DALYs rate in rural areas was higher than that in urban areas, and the growth rate of the DALYs rate in the 50-59 age group was higher than those in other age groups. Conclusions:From 2010 to 2017, the incidence rate, mortality rate and DALYs rate of cervical cancer in Guangxi showed an upward trend. Comprehensive prevention and control measures for cervical cancer, such as improving the early diagnosis and treatment system, promoting the popularization of HPV vaccination and strengthening health education, should be taken to reduce the disease burden of cervical cancer.

[Purpose]To analyze the incidence and mortality of liver cancer in Fusui County of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 2019 and the trend of change from 201 1 to 2019.[Meth-ods]Based on the incidence and mortality data of liver cancer in Fusui County from 2011 to 2019,the crude incidence rate,crude mortality rate,age-standardized rate by Chinese standard population(ASIRC/ASMRC),age-standardized rate by world standard population(ASMRW/ASM-RW),disability-adjusted life years(DALY),years of life lost(YLL),years of lived with disability(YLD)were calculated.The Joinpoint linear regression model was used to calculate the average annual percentage change(AAPC)of the ASIRC/ASMRC and DALY rate of liver cancer in Fusui County from 2011 to 2019.[Results]In 2019,there were 345 new cases and 298 deaths of liver cancer in Fusui County,accounting for 28.49％and 35.86％of all new cases and death cases of malignant tumors in Fusui County,respectively.The crude incidence rate,ASIRC and ASIRW were 74.71/105,67.55/105 and 65.63/105,respectively;the crude mortality rate,ASMRC and ASMRW were 64.53/105,58.78/105 and 56.88/105,respectively.In 2019,ASIRC/ASMRC of men were higher than those of women(105.32/105 and 95.67/105 for men;27.26/105 and 19.11/105 for women).The peak incidence and mortality rates were in the 65～69 and 80～84 age groups,re-spectively.The incidence rate of liver cancer in Fusui County declined from 82.50/105 in 2011 to 67.55/105 in 2019,with an AAPC of-3.01％(P=0.024),but the mortality rate did not have sig-nificant changes(AAPC=-1.44％,P=0.224).The rate of DALY decreased from 14.51/105 to 10.36/105,with an AAPC of-2.82％(P=0.050).[Conclusion]The incidence rate and DALY rate of liv-er cancer in Fusui County showed an overall decreasing trend from 2011 to 2019,but still re-mained at a high level.It is necessary to further strengthen the prevention,screening and early treatment of liver cancer in this region,especially for men and the elderly.

Curriculum of introduction to clinical medicine(ICM) in the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine was analyzed. Characteristics of ICM course in the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine were: early setting, rich in content, long duration and focusing on clinical. ICM course between Guangxi Medical University and University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine were compared. Taking advantages of ICM course in the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine was conductive to better understanding the importance , teaching objectives and means of ICM course . The teaching quality evaluation system of ICM course would be built in the future.

Purpose:To explore the role of terminal restric tion fragments (TRFs), telomerase activity and expression of human telomerase re verse transcriptase (hTERT) in colorectal carcinoma. Methods:The telomere length, telomerase activity and expression of hTERT were studied with Southern-blot, TRAP and immunohistochemistry, respe ctively. Results:TRFs in cancer tissue was much shorter than in the adja cent tissues and normal mucosa, and TRFs was decreased gradually along with the development in cancer stage.The expression of Telomerase in colorectal carcinoma tissue was significantly higher than that in other tissues (P
