[Purpose]To analyze the incidence and mortality of liver cancer in cancer registration areas of Zhejiang Province in 2021 and the epidemiological trends of liver cancer from 2000 to 2021.[Methods]Using liver cancer data from 2000 to 2021 reported by Zhejiang Provincial Can-cer Registries,stratified by sex,age,and urban-rural areas,indicators including crude incidence rate,crude mortality rate,age-standardized incidence rate by Chinese standard population(ASIRC),age-standardized mortality rate by Chinese standard population(ASMRC),age-standardi-zed incidence rate by world standard population(ASIRW),age-standardized mortality rate by world standard population(ASMRW)were calculated.Joinpoint Regression Program(Version 5.3.0)was used to fit the log-linear relationship between rates and years,and calculate the annual percentage change(APC)and average annual percentage change(AAPC)with 95％confidence interval(CI).[Results]In 2021,the crude incidence rate of liver cancer in Zhejiang cancer registration areas was 26.93/105(ASIRC:13.35/105),and the crude mortality rate was 20.87/105(ASMRC:9.52/105).The number of new cases and deaths of liver cancer accounted for 5.07％and 11.33％of all malig-nant tumor cases and deaths,respectively.The incidence and mortality rates of liver cancer in male were significantly higher than those in female(crude incidence rate:40.17/105 vs 13.85/105;ASIRC:20.60/105 vs 6.34/105;crude mortality rate:30.78/105 vs 11.07/105;ASMRC:14.67/105 vs 4.57/105),and those in rural areas were higher than those in urban areas(crude incidence rate:30.39/105 vs 24.79/105;ASIRC:15.35/105 vs 12.10/105;crude mortality rate:24.32/105 vs 18.72/105;ASMRC:11.30/105 vs 8.40/105).In 2021,the incidence rate of liver cancer was low before the age of 30 years old,and increased significantly with age after 30 years old,reaching the peak in male aged 85 years old and above(170.04/105)and in female aged 80～84 years old(84.74/105).The mortality rate showed a similar trend to the incidence rate,which was low before the age of 30 years old and increased significantly with age after 30 years old,peaking in male aged 85 years old and above(211.64/105)and in female aged 80～84 years old(98.31/105).From 2000 to 2021,the crude incidence rate of liver cancer in Zhejiang Province showed an overall upward trend(AAPC=1.01％,95％CI:0.44％～1.58％),while the ASIRC remained relatively stable(AAPC=-0.81％,95％CI:-1.48％～0.02％)with a significant remained relatively stable(AAPC=-0.81％,95％CI:-1.48％～0.02％),after 2010,the ASIRC remained relatively stable(AAPC=-0.81％,95％CI:-1.48％～0.02％)with a significant decreased significantly.Both the crude mortality rate(AAPC=-0.84％,95％CI:-1.23％～-0.36％)and ASMRC(AAPC=-2.78％,95％CI:-3.28％～-2.20％)showed sig-nificant downward trends,and the decline of ASMRC was more obvious.[Conclusion]From 2000 to 2021,the incidence of liver cancer in cancer registration areas of Zhejiang Province showed a fluctuating downward trend,and the mortality showed a steady downward trend,but the disease burden remains heavy.Rural areas,the elderly,and males are high-risk populations,which should be the key targets of liver cancer prevention and control.

General practice standardized residency training is a crucial part of postgraduate education for cultivating general practitioner. The factors influencing the quality of general practice residency training cover various aspects such as the residents themselves, teaching staff, management and decision-making levels, as well as teaching resources. Guided by the goal of "fostering virtue through education", and integrated the spirit of Norman Bethune and modern innovation theories and the educational philosophy, the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University has carried out comprehensive reforms in this field. It has constructed a PDCA cycle management system based on the concept of total quality management to improve the quality of education from multiple links such as quality planning and process monitoring. In terms of faculty development, based on the dissipative structure theory, a mechanism of "selection, evaluation, incentive, and elimination" has been established. Teacher communities have been formed and a training college has been established to strengthen the teaching team. In terms of platform construction, the linkage between "teaching base-community" and "on campus-off campus" has been strengthened and resources have been integrated. The reform has achieved remarkable results, and our practice may provide a reference for general practice medical education.

OBJECTIVE: The present study evaluated the effects of deep acupuncture at Weizhong acupoint (BL40) on bladder function and brain activity in a rat model of overactive bladder (OAB), and investigated the possible mechanisms around the acupuncture area that initiate the effects of acupuncture. METHODS: Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups, comprising a control group, model group, group treated with deep acupuncture at BL40, group treated with shallow acupuncture at BL40, group treated with acupuncture at non-acupoint next to BL40, and group treated with acupuncture at Xuanzhong (GB39). Urodynamic evaluation was used to observe the urination, and functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to observe the brain activation. The mechanism of acupuncture at BL40 in regulating bladder function was explored by toluidine blue staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the mechanism was verified by stabilizing mast cells (MCs) or blocking tibial nerve. RESULTS: Deep acupuncture at BL40 significantly increased the intercontraction interval in OAB rats and enhanced the mean amplitude of low frequency fluctuation of primary motor cortex (M1), periaquaductal gray matter (PAG), and pontine micturition center (PMC). It also increased the zero-lag functional connectivity between M1 and PAG and between PAG and PMC. Shallow acupuncture at BL40 and acupuncture at non-acupoint or GB39 had no effect on these indexes. Further studies suggested that deep acupuncture at BL40 increased the number and degranulation rate of MCs as well as the contents of 5-hydroxytryptamine, substance P, and histamine in the tissues around BL40. Blocking the tibial nerve by lidocaine injection or inhibiting MC degranulation by sodium cromoglycate injection obstructed the effects of acupuncture on restoring urinary function and modulating brain activation in OAB rats. CONCLUSION Deep acupuncture at BL40 may be more effective for inhibiting OAB by promoting degranulation of MCs around the acupoint and stimulating tibial nerve, thereby regulating the activation of the brain area that controls the lower urinary tract.
