[Purpose]To analyze the trends of brain tumor incidence and age of onset in cancer registration areas of Jiangsu Province from 2009 to 2019.[Methods]The incidence data of brain tumors from 2009 to 2019 were obtained from 16 national cancer registration areas of Jiangsu Province.The crude incidence rate,age-standardized incidence rate by Chinese standard popula-tion(ASIRC),average age of onset,standardized age-specific incidence rate,and annual average percentage change(AAPC)by sexes and regions were calculated.[Results]The incidence rate of brain tumor in Jiangsu Province from 2009 to 2019 showed an increasing trend(AAPC=4.12％,95％CI:3.31％～4.95％),and the increase in female(AAPC=5.79％,95％CI:4.44％～7.15％)was higher than that in male(AAPC=2.31％,95％CI:1.66％～2.97％);and the increase in urban areas(AAPC=4.84％,95％CI:3.52％～6.18％)was higher than that in rural areas(AAPC=3.04％,95％CI:2.12％～3.98％).The ASIRC also showed an increasing trend(AAPC=2.14％,95％CI:1.27％～3.02％).Birth cohort analysis showed that within the same age group,the incidence rate of brain tumors increased with increasing birth years.The average age of onset for crude incidence showed a delaying trend of 0.43 years old per year(t=7.09,P＜0.001);that for ASIRC was 0.20 years old per year(t=3.33,P=0.009).The proportion of patients in the age group of 60 years old and above increased from 35.79％in 2009 to 44.18％in 2019.[Conclusion]The incidence of brain tumor in cancer registration areas of Jiangsu Province showed an increasing trend from 2009 to 2019 with a delaying trend of average age of onset.

Objective:To analyze incidence trends and age distribution of cutaneous melanoma in Jiangsu province from 2010 to 2019.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, data on the reported incidence of cutaneous melanoma from 2009 to 2019 were obtained from 16 cancer registries in Jiangsu Province, which had complete and continuous records after quality control. The Jointpoint log-linear regression model was used, and the average annual percentage change (AAPC) was calculated to analyze incidence trends of cutaneous melanoma in different genders and areas (urban or rural). Data from the Chinese population census in 2000 were used for calculation of age-standardized incidence rates by Chinese standard population. The Jointpoint regression model was used to evaluate the trends in the average age at onset over time. If there were no inflection points, a t test was used to compare changes in the average age at onset and age-specific proportions among different years. The age-period-cohort model was used to analyze changes of the incidence in birth cohorts in different years. Results:The age-standardized incidence rate of cutaneous melanoma in Jiangsu province was 0.26/100 000 in 2009 and 0.49/100 000 in 2019. Overall, the provincial incidence rates showed an increasing trend (AAPC in age-standardized incidence rates: 6.17%, P < 0.001). In the subgroup analyses, increasing trends were observed in different genders and areas (AAPC in age-standardized incidence rates: 4.24% for males, 8.01% for females, 5.17% for urban areas, 7.62% for rural areas, all P < 0.001). The standardized average age at onset of cutaneous melanoma was 59.95 years in 2009 and 58.84 years in 2019, with no significant trend in average age at onset over time ( P = 0.196). People aged 60 years and above had an AAPC of 1.20% ( P = 0.020) in the actual incidence proportion of cutaneous melanoma in 2019 compared with 2009. The age-period-cohort model showed that the incidence progressively increased with the year of birth in age groups among patients of different genders and in different areas (all P < 0.05) . Conclusions:The overall incidence of cutaneous melanoma was relatively low in Jiangsu province from 2009 to 2019, however, an upward trend was observed. Patients in both rural and urban areas, as well as female and male populations, all exhibited increasing incidence rates. The incidence rates of cutaneous melanoma increased with age.

Objective:To assess the influence of extreme temperature events on the mortality risk of nervous system diseases in residents of Jiangsu Province and identify patients with nervous system diseases who are susceptible to extreme temperature events.Methods:Acase-crossover design was used to investigate the cumulative lagged effects of extreme temperature events on the mortality risk of nervous system disease in local residents by using the data on causes of death from nervous system diseases in Jiangsu from 2014 to 2020 with conditional logistic regression model. The final definition of extreme temperature events was established using Akaike information criterion. The heat wave was defined as 4 or more consecutive days with daily mean temperatures above the 92.5 th percentile of annual daily mean temperatures, and the cold spell was defined as 2 or more consecutive days with daily mean temperatures below the 10 th percentile of annual daily mean temperatures. Furthermore, stratified analyses was conducted to compare the effects of extreme temperature events on mortality risk in populations in different gender, age and marital status groups to identify susceptible populations to extreme temperature event. Results:Statistical results showed that the effect values of heat wave and cold spell on the mortality risk of nervous system diseases all peaked at the 7 th day of the cumulative lag, with OR of 1.60 (95% CI: 1.44-1.76) and 1.33 (95% CI: 1.13-1.56), respectively. Heat wave exposure increased mortality risk for individuals with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, while cold spell exposure increased the mortality risk for those with Alzheimer's disease. Stratified analyses showed that the mortality risk for nervous system disease and Alzheimer's disease was higher in partnerless population after heat wave exposure. Conclusions:Heat wave and cold spell were associated with increased mortality risks for nervous system disease, highlighting the need for improved early warning systems for extreme temperature event. In the context of heat wave, interventions to protect individuals with nervous system disease should prioritize partnerless population.

BACKGROUND: There are few multi-city studies on the association between temperature and mortality in basin climates. This study was based on the Sichuan Basin in southwest China to assess the association of basin temperature with non-accidental mortality in the population and with the temperature-related mortality burden. METHODS: Daily mortality data, meteorological and air pollution data were collected for four cities in the Sichuan Basin of southwest China. We used a two-stage time-series analysis to quantify the association between temperature and non-accidental mortality in each city, and a multivariate meta-analysis was performed to obtain the overall cumulative risk. The attributable fractions (AFs) were calculated to access the mortality burden attributable to non-optimal temperature. Additionally, we performed a stratified analyses by gender, age group, education level, and marital status. RESULTS: A total of 751,930 non-accidental deaths were collected in our study. Overall, 10.16% of non-accidental deaths could be attributed to non-optimal temperatures. A majority of temperature-related non-accidental deaths were caused by low temperature, accounting for 9.10% (95% eCI: 5.50%, 12.19%), and heat effects accounted for only 1.06% (95% eCI: 0.76%, 1.33%). The mortality burden attributable to non-optimal temperatures was higher among those under 65 years old, females, those with a low education level, and those with an alternative marriage status. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that a significant association between non-optimal temperature and non-accidental mortality. Those under 65 years old, females, and those with a low educational level or alternative marriage status had the highest attributable burden.
