Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and disease burden of liver cancer in Guangdong Province in 2020, and to provide a scientific foundation for the development of regionalized prevention and control strategies for liver cancer. Methods According to the cancer registry data of Guangdong Province, the incidence, mortality and age-standardized rate by Chinese standard population in 2020 were calculated to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of liver cancer. The disability adjusted life years (DALYs), year of life loss (YLL), year of lived with disability (YLD), and cause-eliminated life expectancy were used to assess the disease burden of liver cancer. Results In 2020, the crude incidence rate and the age-standardized incidence rate of liver cancer in Guangdong Province were 27.79/100 000 and 20.84/100 000，respectively, and the crude mortality rate and the age-standardized mortality rate of liver cancer were 25.49/100,000 and 17.64/100 000, respectively. The total DALY and DALY rate of liver cancer in Guangdong Province were 515 311 person-years and 513.83/100 000, respectively. After eliminating the causes of death from liver cancer, the life expectancy in Guangdong Province increased from 84.60 years to 84.99 years. All indicators consistently demonstrated that the burden of liver cancer was higher in males than that in females, and the burden of liver cancer was higher in rural areas than that in urban areas. Conclusion Liver cancer in Guangdong Province exhibits a high incidence, mortality and disease burden level in 2020. There are obvious differences of gender, age and region in cancer burden. It is necessary to strengthen liver cancer screening and diagnosis and treatment in men, the elderly and those in rural areas to reduce the burden of liver cancer gradually in Guangdong Province.

Objective:To determine the prevalence of self-reported food allergies among children in the grasslands of North China and to analyze its associated risk factors.Methods:In this study, a cross-sectional epidemiological survey method was used to select children under 14 years old by multi-stage, stratified and random cluster sampling in the grassland ecological area of Zhangbei County, Hebei Province, China from May to July 2018. Face-to-face questionnaires were administered to gather food allergy-related information from the participants. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors associated with self-reported food allergy.Results:A total of 2 086 children completed the survey. The prevalence of self-reported food allergies was 22.0%(459/2 086). The prevalence of multiple food allergies (≥3 types) was 3.1%(64/2 086) versus 16.3% (341/2 086) for a single food allergy among all children. Mango allergy (6.1%, 127/2 086) was the most common, followed by peach allergy (4.1%, 85/2 086). Children who reported food allergies had a significantly higher prevalence of all 4 atopic disorders (eczema, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and allergic conjunctivitis than those without food allergies(35.73% vs. 20.65%, 5.88% vs. 2.77%, 17.86% vs. 7.38%, 16.78% vs. 10.45%, χ2 =44.663 1, 10.434 3, 45.038 3, 13.728 4, all P<0.001).Significantly associated risk factors of food allergy were found to be pollen allergy ( OR: 2.29; 95% CI: 1.80-2.92) and drug allergy ( OR: 1.53; 95% CI: 1.12-2.09). Conclusions:The prevalence of self-reported food allergies among children in the Zhangbei County area of the North China Grassland was relatively high. Pollen allergy and drug allergy are major risk factors.

Objective Network pharmacology and molecular docking technology were used to analyze the potential mechanism of Sinisan(SNS)in the treatment of adolescent depression,and the relevant results were verified by experiments.Methods Through the TCMSP and ETCM databases,the effective chemical components and targets of SNS(Chaihu,Zhishi,Baishao and Gancao)were screened,and the main targets of adolescent depression were screened in the GeneCards and OMIM databases,and the common targets of drugs and disease were obtained by Venn diagram.Cytoscape 3.9.1 software was used to draw the Chinese herb-active ingredient-target action network of SNS.The STRING platform was used to construct a portein-protein interaction network(PPI)of drug-disease-common targets,and the core targets were obtained after screening.The Metascape platform was used to perform enrichment analysis of core targets.Molecular docking was carried out through the software AutoDockTools 1.5.7 to evaluate the binding ability of effective active ingredients to potential core targets.Western blotting(WB)experiments were used to verify the potential targets of SNS against adolescent depression.Results The core effective active ingredients of SNS in the treatment of adolescent depression include quercetin,kaempferol,isorhamnetin,paeoniflorin,etc.,and the potential core targets including AKT1,IL-6,PPARG,PTGS2,F7,etc.,were identified through PPI network topology analysis.The molecular docking results showed that the active substance had strong binding activity to its main target.WB experiments verified that AKT1,IL-1B and IL-6 were potential targets related to anti-adolescent depression.The main biological processes of PPI network four inverse dispersion in the treatment of adolescent depression include hormone response,and the main signaling pathways regulated such as AGE-RAGE and PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.Conclusion This study preliminarily confirmed the effective active ingredients and target information of SNS treatment in adolescent depression,and revealed the potential mechanism of SNS in the treatment of adolescent depression.

Objective : To investigate the effect of environmental enrichment on cognitive impairment and hippo- campus GAP-43 changes induced by exposure to obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome ( OSAHS) during the period of late pregnancy in mice，and to explore relative inflammatory pathway mechanism． Methods : The experi- mental group of C57BL/6J pregnant mice were exposed to an intermittent hypoxic environment for 7 consecutive days starting from gestational day 15．The corresponding offspring were then placed in an enriched environment from postnatal day 21 to 2 months of age (designated as OSAHS + EE group) or in a normal environment (designat- ed as OSAHS group) ．Pregnant mice in the control group were maintained in a normal oxygen environment，and their corresponding offspring were placed in an enriched environment (designated as Control + EE group) or a nor- mal environment (designated as Control group) at the same ages．The spatial learning and memory ability of the mice was assessed by Morris water maze at the age of 2 months．The mRNA levels of NF-kB，NLRP3 and GAP-43 in the hippocampus were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR , and the protein levels of NLRP3 and GAP-43 in the hippocampus were detected by Western blot． Results: Compared with Control group，the swimming distance increased (P＜0. 01) ，and the percentage of swimming distance in target quadrant decreased (P＜0. 01) in OSAHS group．The level of NF - κB mRNA，NLRP3 mRNA and protein in the hippocampus was increased，and the level of GAP-43 mRNA and protein was decreased (P＜0. 01) ．Compared with the Control group，there were no significant differences in swimming distance，percentage of swimming distance，NF-κB mRNA，NLRP3 mRNA and protein content in the OSAHS + EE group． Conclusion OSAHS during pregnancy impairs the learning and memory ability of offspring mice and reduces the level of GAP-43 protein．The mechanism may be related to the in- crease of NF-κB / NLRP3 level，and environmental enrichment can improve the damage．

Objective To compare image quality and clinical usefulness between single breath-hold three-dimensional magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography with compressed sensing(3D BH-CS-MRCP)and with gradient and spin-echo(3D BH-GRASE-MRCP)and conventional three-dimensional breath-triggered magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(3D RT-MRCP).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 48 patients(26 males and 22 females,mean age of 53.14±15.19 years),who underwent 3D BH-GRASE-MRCP,3D BH-CS-MRCP and 3D RT-MRCP from September to December 2023.Pancreaticobiliary duct visibility,motion artifacts,background suppression,and overall image quality were scored on a 5-point scale by two radiologists.The relative contrast ratio of three bile duct segmentations(common bile duct,left and right intrahepatic bile ducts)were calculated,and the acquisition time of the three sequences was recorded.Friedman test with a post-hoc test was performed to compare image acquisition time,qualitative and quantitative results.Results The acquisition time was significantly shorter in the two breath-hold groups than for conventional 3D RT-MRCP(P＜0.001).There were no significant differences in overall image quality,motion artifacts,common bile duct and primary branch of intrahepatic bile duct among the three groups.The relative contrast ratio,intrahepatic biliary secondary branch visibility and background suppression score of 3D RT-MRCP and BH-CS-MRCP were significantly higher than those of BH-GRASE-MRCP(P＜0.01).The pancreatic duct(proximal,middle,distal)visibility score of 3D RT-MRCP was significantly better than that of BH-GRASE-MRCP(P=0.002,0.043,0.001),but the gallbladder and gallbladder duct visibility score of BH-GRASE-MRCP was higher than that of 3D RT-MRCP(P=0.036).There was no significant difference between 3D RT-MRCP and BH-CS-MRCP scores except for the middle and distal pancreatic duct visibility.Conclusion Breath-hold 3D MRCP with GRASE and CS can give us feasible options for pancreaticobiliary diagnosis,which significantly shortens the acquisition time without reducing the overall image quality.Compared with BH-GRASE-MRCP,BH-CS-MRCP has better consistency in pancreaticobiliary duct visibility and background suppression.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of high-level deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR-H) algorithm in dynamic myocardial perfusion (CTP) and coronary CT angiography (CCTA) extraction.Methods:From October 2021 to October 2022, 41 patients with confirmed or suspected coronary heart disease who underwent traditional CCTA and dynamic CTP examinations on GE Apex CT were prospectively collected. Traditional CCTA used 100 kVp tube voltage scan and DLIR-H to reconstruct the original image, while dynamic CTP used 80 kVp tube voltage scan to reconstruct the original image with ASiR-V 100% and DLIR-H, respectively. Comparing subjective and objective scores and myocardial blood flow (MBF) values?of rest and stress CTP between ASiR-V100% and DLIR-H. Subjective and objective scores, as well as stenosis degree and coronary CT blood flow reserve fraction (CT-FFR) value were analyzed on a vessel basis, and the image quality and diagnostic performance of traditional CCTA and single-phase CCTA (SP-CCTA) extracted under DLIR-H CTP were compared. Statistical analysis were performed using paired t test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test and χ2 test. Results:In the subjective image quality analysis of resting and stress CTP, DLIR-H was improved compared with ASiR-V100%, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in MBF values obtained by the two reconstruction methods in the assessment of quantitative myocardial perfusion ( P>0.05). Compared with traditional CCTA, the vascular CT value of SP-CCTA increased by 15.12%, the noise value increased by 32.27%, and the subjective score was also slightly lower (4.23±0.05). However, there were no statistically significant differences in total plaque volume, maximum stenosis degree, and number of CT-FFR positive vessels between SP-CCTA and traditional CCTA (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The deep learning reconstruction algorithm can not only improve the quality of the original image to a certain extent on dynamic CTP, but also extract high-quality single-phase CCTA to meet clinical diagnosis and realize a “one-stop” dynamic myocardial perfusion examination, which will help simplify the examination process, reduce contrast agent and radiation doses in the future.

Objective To investigate the effect of Lianpu Yin on duodenal microinflammation in rats with functional dyspepsia(FD)by regulating NLRP3 activation.Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank group and model group.FD rats were reconstructed by iodoacetamide method(2%sucrose solution containing 0.1%iodoacetamide),and the model was verified.FD model rats were randomly divided into model group,Lianpu Yin group and Moxapride group by random number expression method.After a period of two weeks of administration,measurements were taken to determine the body mass,three-hour food consumption,as well as the rates of gastric emptying and intestinal propulsion.The pathological structure of duodenal tissue was observed by HE staining.The serum levels of IL-1β and IL-18 were quantified using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method.The expression levels of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in each group were detected by Western blot.Expression levels of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 proteins were detected by immunofluorescence.Results Compared with the blank group,body weight,food intake at 3 h,gastric emptyand intestinal propulsion rate in model group were significantly decreased(P<0.01),and inflammatory infiltration of duodenum tissue appeared in the model group.Meanwhile,the expressions of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 proteins,as well as the levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the duodenal tissue of the model group,showed significant increasing(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,rats in the Lianpu Yin and Moxapride groups displayed significant increasing in body weight,gastric emptying rate,and intestinal propulsion rate(P<0.01).Additionally,inflammatory infiltration of duodenum tissue reduced in these groups.Furthermore,NLRP3 and Caspase-1 protein expressions,as well as IL-1β and IL-18 levels,significantly decreased in the Lianpu Yin and Moxapride groups compared to the model group(P<0.05).Conclusion Lianpu Yin can treat FD rats by inhibiting duodenal microinflammation and then restoring gastrointestinal motility,which may be related to the abnormal activation of NLRP3 inflammasome.
