Linxian County in Henan Province, Northern China is known as the region with the highest incidence and mortality rate of esophageal cancer worldwide. Since 1959, the Henan medical team has conducted field work on esophageal cancer prevention and treatment in Linxian. Through three generations of effort exerted by oncologists over 65 years of research on esophageal cancer prevention and treatment in Linxian, the incidence rate of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in this area has dropped by nearly 50%, and the 5-year survival rate has increased to 40%, reaching the international leading level. This article aims to summarize the history, present opportunities and new challenges, and explore the experience of esophageal cancer prevention and treatment in Linxian (referred to as the “Linxian experience”), providing reference and guidance to cancer prevention and treatment research in China.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy between arthroscopic posteromedial dual-portal valvotomy combined with cyst wall resection and open surgery in the treatment of popliteal cysts.Methods A total of 64 patients with popliteal cysts who were treated in the Kunshan Second People's Hospital from May 2018 to May 2023 were enrolled and randomly assigned to two groups.The combined group(n=32)underwent arthroscopic posteromedial dual-portal valvotomy combined with cyst wall resection,and the traditional group(n=32)underwent open surgery.Surgery-related parameters,pain,inflammatory levels,knee joint function,quality of life,postoperative complications and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Results The combined group had less intraoperative blood loss and shorter incision length,operation time,and hospital stay than the traditional group(P＜0.05).The Rauschning-Lindgren grade was improved at 6 months after surgery in both groups(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in the Rauschning-Lindgren grade at 6 months after surgery between the two groups(P＞0.05).VAS scores at 6,24 and 48 h postoperatively,lower limb alignment angles,and the levels of interleukin(IL)-6,tumor necrosis factor-α,IL-8,and C reactive protein in the combined group were lower than those in the traditional group(P＜0.05).The range of motion of the knee,Lysholm knee scores,and QOL scores in all dimensions in the combined group were higher than those in the traditional group(P＜0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications in the combined group was lower than that in the traditional group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Arthroscopic posteromedial dual-portal valvotomy combined with cyst wall resection is superior to open surgery in the treatment of popliteal cysts,with less intraoperative blood loss,shorter operation time and hospital stay,lower pain levels,better knee joint function and higher quality of life.

Objective To investigate the relationship between tooth loss and the occurrence of esophageal cancer in a natural village in Wenfeng District, Anyang City, Henan Province. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted to observe the occurrence of tooth loss and esophageal cancer among the asymptomatic residents of the natural village for 16 years from January 2008 to July 2024. Data were analyzed by chi-square test, binary logistic regression, and restricted cubic spline. Results Among the total population of 711 cases, 136 cases were lost to follow-up and 575 cases were included in the final statistics, including 45 cases with esophageal cancer. Significant statistical difference was found between esophageal cancer patients with and without tooth loss (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that tooth loss was associated with the occurrence of esophageal cancer (OR=3.977, 95%CI: 1.543-10.255). After the adjustment for confounders, tooth loss remained significantly associated with the occurrence of esophageal cancer (OR=3.038, 95%CI: 1.035-8.914). A nonlinear dose-response relationship was observed between the number of teeth lost and the incidence of esophageal cancer. When the number of teeth lost was less than 12, the risk of esophageal cancer increased with the number of teeth lost. When more than 12 teeth were lost, the risk of esophageal cancer decreased as the number of teeth lost increased. Conclusion Tooth loss is a risk factor for the occurrence of esophageal cancer in this natural village. When the number of teeth lost is less than 12, the risk of esophageal cancer increases with the number of teeth lost.

Objective:To characterize the histopathological subtypes and their clinicopathological parameters of gender and onset age by common, rare and sparse primary esophageal malignant tumors (PEMT).Methods:A total of 272 437 patients with PEMT were enrolled in this study, and all of the patients were received radical surgery. The clinicopathological information of the patients was obtained from the database established by the State Key Laboratory of Esophageal Cancer Prevention & Treatment from September 1973 to December 2020, which included the clinical treatment, pathological diagnosis and follow-up information of esophagus and gastric cardia cancers. All patients were diagnosed and classified by the criteria of esophageal tumor histopathological diagnosis and classification (2019) of the World Health Organization (WHO). The esophageal tumors, which were not included in the WHO classification, were analyzed separately according to the postoperative pathological diagnosis. The χ 2 test was performed by the SPSS 25.0 software on count data, and the test standard α=0.05. Results:A total of 32 histopathological types were identified in the enrolled PEMT patients, of which 10 subtypes were not included in the WHO classification. According to the frequency, PEMT were divided into common (esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, ESCC, accounting for 97.1%), rare (esophageal adenocarcinoma, EAC, accounting for 2.3%) and sparse (mainly esophageal small cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, etc., accounting for 0.6%). All the common, rare, and sparse types occurred predominantly in male patients, and the gender difference of rare type was most significant (EAC, male∶ female, 2.67∶1), followed with common type (ESCC, male∶ female, 1.78∶1) and sparse type (male∶ female, 1.71∶1). The common type (ESCC) mainly occurred in the middle thoracic segment (65.2%), while the rare type (EAC) mainly occurred in the lower thoracic segment (56.8%). Among the sparse type, malignant melanoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma were both predominantly located in the lower thoracic segment (51.7%, 66.7%), and the others were mainly in the middle thoracic segment.Conclusion:ESCC is the most common type among the 32 histopathological types of PEMT, followed by EAC as the rare type, and esophageal small cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma as the major sparse type, and all of which are mainly occur in male patients. The common type of ESCC mainly occur in the middle thoracic segment, while the rare type of EAC mainly in the lower thoracic segment. The mainly sparse type of malignant melanoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma predominately occur in the lower thoracic segment, and the remaining sparse types mainly occur in the middle thoracic segment.

Objective    To investigate the feasibility of magnamosis rings designed based on magnetic compression technique in esophageal anastomosis reconstruction. Methods    According to the anatomical characteristics of esophagus in SD rats, the esophageal magnamosis rings were designed. SD rats were used as animal models (n=10, 5 males and 5 females) to complete the magnetic anastomosis reconstruction of the cervical esophagus using magnamosis rings, and the operation time, animal survival, postoperative complications, magnetic rings excretion time were recorded. Two weeks after operation, the rats were killed, and the esophageal anastomotic specimens were obtained. The blasting pressure of the anastomotic site was measured and the formation of the anastomotic site was observed with naked eyes. Results    Esophageal magnamosis was successfully performed in 10 SD rats, and the median operation time was 11 (8-13) min. All rats survived without anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis, or magnetic rings incarceration. The magnetic rings were discharged after 8 (5-10) days and the burst pressure was higher than 300 mm Hg. Visual observation showed that the anastomotic muscle healed well and the mucosa was smooth. Conclusion    The magnetic compression technique  can be used for anastomosis reconstruction of esophagus, which has the advantages of simple operation and reliable anastomosis effect, and has clinical application prospect.

[Objective] To compare the antipyretic and anti-inflammatory actions and acute toxicity between Chuanxinlian Soft Capsules (CSC) and Chuanxinlian Tablets. [Methods] Antipyretic action of CSC was observed on rabbit fever models induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and rat fever models induced by baker's yeast. Rat models with pedal swelling induced by carrageenin, mouse models with auricle swelling induced by dimethylbenzene and mouse models with celiac capillary hyperpermeability induced by acetic acid were used to observe the anti-inflammatory action oi CSC. Its acute toxicity in mice was also evaluated. [Results] High- and moderate-dose CSC reduced fever in rabbits induced by LPS (P 0.05). High-, moderate- and low-dose CSC has an inhibitory effect on acute inflammatory exudation (P

adrenergic receptor is the third subtype of ?-adrenergic receptors. The genetic structure and pharmacological property of ? 3-adrenergic receptor are markedly distinguished from ? 1-and ? 2-adrenergic receptor subtypes. Recently studies show that myocardial ? 3-adrenergic receptor mediates negative inotropic effect through Gi-protein/NO/cGMP pathway, the expression of ? 3-adrenergic receptor and negative inotropic effect mediated by ? 3-adrenergic receptor are increased in heart failure. However, because of the low expression of ? 3-adrenergic receptor in the heart, the actual pathophysiological significance of ? 3-adrenergic receptor remains unknown.
