BACKGROUND:
China is one of the countries with the highest burdens of stomach cancer. The objective of this study was to analyze long-term trends in the incidence and mortality of stomach cancer in Chinese mainland from 1990 to 2019 and to make projections until 2030.
METHODS:
Data on stomach cancer were extracted from the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2019. Population data were extracted from the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2019 and World Population Prospects 2019. An age-period-cohort framework and decomposition analysis were used in this study.
RESULTS:
The net drift for the incidence of stomach cancer was 0.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0, 0.4%) per year for men and -1.8% (95% CI: -2.0%, -1.6%) for women. The net drift for mortality was -1.6% (95% CI: -1.8%, -1.3%) per year for men and -3.3% (95% CI: -3.5%, -3.1%) for women. In the last 10-15 years, the risk of stomach cancer occurrence and death has continued to decline for both sexes. Regarding birth cohorts, although the risk of stomach cancer death decreased in general among women and men born after 1920, the risk of occurrence increased in recent birth cohorts (men born after 1970 and women born after 1985). It is expected that the age-standardized incidence will increase among men and decrease among women, and age-standardized mortality will decrease for both sexes. The largest contributor to the projected increase in incident cases and deaths is population aging, and elderly individuals are projected to have an increased proportion of occurrence and death.
CONCLUSIONS
In the past three decades, the incidence of stomach cancer among men has increased in Chinese mainland, and this trend is projected to continue. Aging will be the main contributor to future increased stomach cancer occurrence and deaths. To reduce the health impact of stomach cancer, more efforts are needed.

Objective:To evaluate the value of peripheral blood systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), D-dimer, and albumin (ALB) alone or their combination in the diagnosis of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC).Methods:From January 1, 2023 to November 30, 2024, 104 patients with EOCRC (EOCRC group) hospitalized at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were enrolled. During the same period, by simple random sampling method, 104 patients with benign colorectal polyps (benign polyp group) and 104 healthy individuals for health examinations (healthy control group) from outpatient department were enrolled. The peripheral blood parameters (including neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, CEA, and others) and pathological characteristics of EOCRC (including TNM stage, tumor differentiation grade, and depth of invasion) were collected. The relationship between peripheral blood parameters and EOCRC pathological features were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were plotted, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the diagnostic value. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the peripheral blood parameters which independently correlated with EOCRC and a combined diagnostic model was established. Simple random sampling method was used to divide the subjects in the negative control group (healthy control group + benign polyp group) and positive group (EOCRC group) into a training set (218 cases) and a validation set (94 cases) at a ratio of 7∶3, and the diagnostic performance of the combined diagnostic model in the training and validation sets was assessed. Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve were used to evaluate the fit and consistency of the model. Independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used for statistical analysis. Results:EOCRC group had the highest levels of SII(744.03 (473.01, 1 246.28), 437.77 (342.28, 607.47), 497.31 (385.76, 721.63)×10 9/L), NLR(2.42 (1.76, 3.94), 1.96 (1.54, 2.52), 1.91 (1.55, 2.75)), CEA (3.58 (1.96, 20.85), 1.31 (0.95, 1.93), 1.21 (0.76, 2.11) μg/L) and D-dimer (0.36 (0.20, 0.90), 0.19 (0.12, 0.28), 0.18 (0.12, 0.30) mg/L), and the lowest levels of LMR(3.51±1.56, 4.38±1.37, 4.72±1.84) and ALB(42.40 (39.90, 44.70), 44.57 (42.83, 46.25), 44.95 (43.10, 46.58) g/L) than benign polyp group and healthy control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( H=31.18, 16.21, 76.72 and 47.72, F=15.40, H=34.19; all P<0.001). In EOCRC patients, there were statistically significant differences in SII and LMR between patients with different tumor invasion depth ( Z=-2.48, t=2.31; both P<0.05), in CEA between patients with different TNM stage, with or without lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis( Z=-2.68, -2.50 and -2.65; all P<0.05), in D-dimer between patients with different TNM stage, differentiation grade, invasion depth, and with or without lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis ( Z=-2.50, -2.60, -2.06, -2.14 and -3.33; all P<0.05), and in ALB between patients with or without distant metastasis ( Z=-2.52, P=0.012).The AUC of combination of SII, NLR, LMR, CEA, D-dimer, and ALB in differential diagnosis of the healthy control group and the EOCRC group was 0.914 (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.870 to 0.958, P<0.001), and the AUC of the combination in differential diagnosis of the benign polyp group and the EOCRC group was 0.904 (95% CI: 0.857 to 0.950, P<0.001). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that SII, NLR, LMR, CEA, and ALB were all independently correlated with EOCRC (all P<0.05). The diagnostic model for EOCRC was established by the combination of SII, NLR, LMR, CEA, and ALB, and the AUC of the model in the training set and validation set was 0.911 and 0.883, respectively. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test indicated good model fit ( P=0.437). Calibration curve analysis showed strong consistency between predicted probabilities and actual probabilities, and the mean absolute error was 0.015. Conclusions:SII, NLR, LMR, CEA, D-dimer, and ALB all demonstrate diagnostic value in the diagnosis of EOCRC. The combined diagnostic model based on SII, NLR, LMR, CEA, and ALB demonstrates excellent diagnostic performance, which may serve as an adjunctive diagnostic approach for EOCRC.

【Objective】 To explore the effect mechanism of Salvia miltiorrhiza and safflower on combined anti-ischemic stroke and verify relevant action targets in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model based on network pharmacology. 【Methods】 ①Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) and GeneCards databases were used to screen the active components, component targets and ischemic stroke targets of Salvia miltiorrhiza and safflower respectively. The above data were imported into STRING database for protein interaction network analysis, and Cytoscape3.8.0 software was used to construct protein interaction network (PPI) and component target interaction network. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway annotation analysis of target genes were performed using David online analysis tool. ② In this experiment, a rat model of ischemic stroke was prepared by using improved MCAO method, and immunohistochemical method and Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (REAL-TIME PCR) to detect the positive expressions of NLRP3 inflammatory body and NF P65 protein in the brain tissue of rats in each group so as to explore the functional mechanism of anti-inflammation reaction against cerebral ischemia injury. 【Results】 ① A total of 87 effective components, corresponding to 253 targets, 1448 targets for ischemic stroke and 161 targets related to drugs and diseases, were screened from the Salvia milticorrhiza and safflower drug pairs. We obtained 730 biological processes, 81 cell components and 128 molecular functions through GO analysis, and 127 signal pathways through KEGG analysis. ②Immunohistochemical method and Real-time PCR determination results showed that compared with control group rats, model group rats had significantly increased tissue NLRP3 inflammatory body and NFkBp65 protein expressions (P<0.01). Compared with those in the model group, NLRP3 inflammatory body and NFkBp65 protein expressions significantly decreased in Dan red compatibility groups and nim horizon groups (P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 Compatibility of effective components in salvia miltiorrhiza, and carthamus tinctorius can further downregulate the release of inflammatory corpuscle NLRP3 through NFkB signaling pathway by blocking inflammatory lesions and thus plays the role of fighting against inflammatory damage.
