Chinese Journal of Epidemiology 2024;45(2):200-206
Objective:To analyze the trend of mortality rate and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) of colorectal cancer attributable to dietary risk factors from 1990 to 2019 in China.Methods:Mortality rate and DALY rate of colorectal cancer attributable to dietary risk factors (diet high in processed meat, diet high in red meat, diet low in calcium, diet in low in fiber, diet low in milk, diet low in whole grains, dietary risks) were collected from the Global Burden of Disease study 2019 (GBD2019). Joinpoint regression model was selected to analyze the trend and an age-period-cohort model was used to estimate the effects of age, period and birth cohort.Results:Joinpoint regression analysis showed that the age-standardized mortality rate and age-standardized DALY rate of colorectal cancer attributable to diet high in processed meat, diet high in red meat, diet low in milk, diet low in whole grains and dietary risks showed an upward trend ( P<0.05) from 1990 to 2019, while those attributable to diet low in calcium and diet low in fiber showed a downward trend ( P<0.05). The mortality rate and DALY rate of colorectal cancer attributable to diet high in processed meat, diet high in red meat, diet low in milk, diet low in whole grains and dietary risks in age groups from 65 to 79 years showed a quicker upward trend than those in age groups from 25 to 64 years. The mortality rate and DALY rate attributable to diet low in calcium and diet low in fiber in age groups from 65 to 79 years showed a slower downward trend than those in age groups from 25 to 64 years. The mortality rate and DALY rate of colorectal cancer attributable to diet high in processed meat, diet high in red meat, diet low in calcium, diet low in fiber, diet low in milk, diet low in whole grains, and dietary risks increased with age after adjusting for period effect and cohort effect ( P<0.05). The mortality rate and DALY rate attributable to diet high in processed meat, diet high in red meat, diet low in calcium, diet low in milk, diet low in whole grains and dietary risks increased with period or cohort, while those attributable to diet low in fiber decreased with period or cohort. Period and cohort effect of dietary risk factors in this study were statistically significant ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Disease burden of colorectal cancer attributable to dietary risk factors in China showed an upward trend in general. Elderly population is high at risk and more attention should be paid to science popularization and education on dietary risk factors in prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer.

Objective:To explore the correlations between serum TNF-α, IL-6, hs-CRP levels and body composition in obese children and adolescents.Methods:A total of 105 obese children and adolescents attending the Department of Clinical Nutrition, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from April 2020 to January 2022 were investigated for serum inflammatory factors(TNF-α, IL-6 and hs-CRP)and body composition(waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, BMI, body fat mass, percent body fat, fat free mass, percent of fat free mass, skeletal muscle mass, percent of skeletal muscle mass and obesity degree). And based on serum inflammatory factors, they were divided into elevated TNF-α group( n=49)and normal TNF-α group( n=56), elevated IL-6 group( n=13)and normal IL-6 group( n=92)and elevated hs-CRP group( n=44)and normal hs-CRP group( n=61), respectively. Results:TNF-α was positively correlated with percent body fat( r=0.224, P=0.022), while negatively correlated with percent of fat free mass( r=-0.226, P=0.021). IL-6 was positively correlated with waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, BMI, body fat mass, percent body fat, and obesity degree( r=0.197, 0.370, 0.303, 0.257, 0.325, 0.348, all P<0.05), while negatively correlated with percent of fat free mass and percent of skeletal muscle mass( r=-0.316, -0.223, all P<0.05). And hs-CRP was positively correlated with BMI, body fat mass, and obesity degree( r=0.261, 0.220, 0.244, all P<0.05), while negatively correlated with percent of fat free mass( r=-0.194, P=0.047). Conclusion:Serum TNF-α, IL-6 and hs-CRP may be correlated with body composition in obese children and adolescents.

ObjectiveTo analyze factors related to the suspected allergic reaction of elememe emulsion injection based on hospital information system. MethodData on cases that used elememe emulsion injection were collected from the information systems of 60 first-class hospitals nationwide. The nested case-control design method was adopted. Finally, 30 cases were included in the suspected allergy group and 120 cases in the control group. SAS 9.3 was employed for descriptive analysis of the gender, age, occupation, admission route, conditions of patients at the admission, and the diagnosis with frequency and percentage. The factors affecting the occurrence of suspected allergic reaction were analyzed by conventional logistic regression and propensity score weighted logistic regression. In the case that the number of independent variables was larger than the sample number, MCP (minimax concave penalty) was used to screen the key variables and the conditions of patients at admission, conditions of patients during hospitalization, hospital stay, diagnostic information, and medication information were compared between two groups. ResultThe male-to-female ratio was about 2∶1 in both groups and most of the patients were 46-65 years old. Patients in the control group were mainly "professional and technical personnel", and the majority in the suspected allergy group were "business and service personnel" and "clerks and related personnel". They were mainly admitted at the outpatient and conditions of patients were average at the admission. Compared with the control group, suspected allergy group showed severe conditions during the hospitalization, short average hospital stay, large proportion with intravenous infusion, and low cure rate and effective rate. The results of logistic regression analysis showed no statistical difference in conditions of patients at admission, hospital stay, combined diseases, medicine dosage, and treatment course. ConclusionThe suspected allergic reaction of elememe emulsion injection mainly occurs in the first administration with rapid onset even with the dose lower than the commonly used one. The occurrence is related to the intravenous infusion and the severe conditions of patients during hospitalization and has nothing to do with the conditions of patients at admission, hospital stay, treatment course, use of other medicines, and diagnostic information. In summary, it is mainly related to the constitution and immune status of patients.
