Objective To analyze the incidence and mortality of cancer in Ya'an City in 2022 and its trends from 2013 to 2022. Methods The crude and age-standardized cancer incidence and mortality rates (based on the Chinese standard population) were calculated by gender and age group from the Ya'an City registry data for 2022, and their trends from 2013 to 2022 were assessed using Joinpoint regression analysis. Results In 2022, the crude incidence rate of cancer in Ya'an City was 317.19/10⁵, and the age-standardized incidence rate was 178.45/10⁵. The crude mortality rate of cancer in Ya'an City was 185.10/10⁵, and the age-standardized mortality rate was 85.22/10⁵. The top three cancer types with the highest incidence were lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and female breast cancer, and those with the highest mortality were lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and liver cancer. From 2013 to 2022, the overall age-standardized incidence rate of cancer was relatively stable but showed a downward trend in males (P<0.05) and an upward trend in females (P<0.05). The overall age-standardized mortality rate exhibited a downward trend (P<0.05). The age-standardized incidence rate of thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer showed an upward trend (P<0.05), whereas those of liver cancer, gastric cancer, and esophageal cancer showed a downward trend (P<0.05). The age-standardized mortality rate of gastric cancer, female breast cancer, liver cancer, and esophageal cancer showed a downward trend (P<0.05). Conclusion The burden of cancer remains severe in Ya'an City. Targeted interventions should be implemented for lung cancer, colorectal cancer, female breast cancer, liver cancer, thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, and other common cancers to effectively control the cancer burden.

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for simultaneous determination of plasma concentration of lamotrigine（LTG）， levetiracetam（LEV） and perampanel（PER） in children with epilepsy and apply this method in clinical practice. METHODS Plasma proteins were precipitated with acetonitrile. Using PER-D 5 as internal standard， ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS） method was adopted. The determination was performed on ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 C 18 column with mobile phase consisted of 0.1% formic acid with 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate-acetonitrile （gradient elution） at the flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The column temperature was 40 ℃， and sample size was 5 μL. The analysis time was 5 min. The electrospray ionization source and multiple reaction monitoring mode were used for positive ion scanning. The ion pairs used for quantitative analysis of LTG， LEV， PER and internal standard were m / z 255.9→144.9， m / z 171.1→126.1， m / z 350.1→219.0 and m / z 354.9→220.2， respectively. The steady-state trough concentrations of the aforementioned drugs in the plasma of 14 pediatric epilepsy patients receiving combination therapy were determined using the same UPLC-MS/MS method as above. RESULTS The linear ranges of LTG， LEV and PER were 0.15-24 μg/mL （ R 2 ＞0.993）， 0.312 5-50 μg/mL （ R 2 ＞0.997） and 6.25-1 000 ng/mL （ R 2 ＞0.997）， respectively. The lower limits of quantification were 0.15 μg/mL， 0.312 5 μg/mL and 6.25 ng/mL， respectively. RSDs of intraday and interday precision tests of the three drugs were no more than 9.83%， and the accuracies （relative errors） were between －9.33% and 13.72%（ n ＝6 or n ＝18）； the average extraction recovery rates were 86.4%-97.9%， and the average matrix effects were 86.9%-110.0% （ n ＝6）. The absolute values of the relative errors in the stability tests were all below 15%. The steady-state trough concentrations of LTG， LEV and PER were （5.64±4.03）μg/mL， （10.67±8.78）μg/mL and（450.20±251.27）ng/mL， respectively； the rates of achieving target trough concentrations were 71.4%， 37.5% and 84.6%， respectively. CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC-MS/MS method is specific， rapid and suitable for the plasma concentration monitoring in epileptic children receiving combination therapy.

Objective:This study aims to analyze the performance of five automatic cell type annotation methods in single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data.Methods:Simulated data were generated using the Splatter package in R language, taking into account two data characteristics: the number of cells and the number of genes. The actual data came from the GSE10245 scRNA seq dataset of non-small cell lung cancer in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, the data had been pre-processed and batch effects had been eliminated. The automatic cell type recognition (ACTINN) of neural networks, the single-cell type annotation method based on deep learning (scDeepSort), the reference batch transcriptome annotation scRNA seq R-package (SingleR), the cross platform and cross species scRNA seq data classifier (SingleCellNet), and the cross scRNA seq dataset projection (scMap-cell) were implemented using the Tensorflow library in Python. The performance evaluation indicators for cell type annotation included accuracy (ACC), F1-score, and Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC). Each method was validated using ten fold cross validation, and the average value was taken after 50 repeated runs for performance comparison between methods. The Dunnett's t-test in the DescTools package of R language was used for multiple comparisons between ACTINN and other four methods. Results:Under 12 different scenarios (3 levels of cell numbers × 4 levels of gene numbers), simulated data analysis showed that compared with scDeepSort, SingleR, SingleCellNet, and scMap-cell, the percentage increase in ACC value of ACTINN ranged from 3.31% to 14.59%, 1.38% to 13.03%, 12.98% to 25.25%, and 20.72% to 29.62%, respectively; the range of F1 score improvement percentages were 2.75% - 22.74%, 2.46% - 23.68%, 5.07% - 27.47%, and 10.27% - 31.47%, respectively; the percentage increase ranges for MCC values were 3.42% - 9.75%, 2.26% - 7.61%, 5.41% - 11.11%, and 8.27% - 15.22%, respectively. Actual data analysis showed that the ACC value of ACTINN was 81.0%, which was increased by 2.1%, 5.2%, 7.9%, and 8.9% compared with the above four methods, respectively; the F1-score value was 80.5%, which was increased by 2.3%, 5.9%, 2.4%, and 6.0%, respectively; the MCC value was 83.3%, which was increased by 0.9%, 2.5%, 3.4%, and 11.2%, respectively. The results of Dunnett's t-test showed that the difference was not statistically significant in ACC values between scDeepSort and ACTINN ( P = 0.821), in F1-score values between scDeepSort and ACTINN ( P = 0.498), and in MCC values between scDeepSort, SingleCellNet and ACTINN ( P = 0.904, 0.134). However, the differences were statistically significant in other multiple comparisons ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:ACTINN and scDeepSort have good performance in cell type annotation, with ACTINN showing outstanding performance and SingleR showing robust performance, while SingleCellNet and scMap-cell have relatively limited performance. This suggests that self-attention mechanism algorithm based on Transformer framework is expected to promote further development of automatic cell annotation methods.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of discoidin,CUB and LCCL domain containing protein 1(DCBLD1)and cytoskeleton associated protein 2(CKAP2)in cervical cancer(CC)tissues and epithelial mesenchymal transition(EMT)and clinical prognosis.Methods 94 CC patients diagnosed and treated in Shiyan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2017 to February 2019 were selected.The expression of DCBLD1 messenger ribonucleic acid(mRNA),CKAP2 mRNA,N-cadherin(N-cad)mRNA,vimentin(Vim)mRNA and TWIST mRNA in tissues was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR).The expressions of DCBLD1 and CKAP2 were detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC).Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between DCBLD1 mRNA,CKAP2 mRNA and EMT-related indicators.Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn to compare the prognosis of CC patients with different DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA expression.COX regression analysis was used to analyze the prognostic factors of CC patients.Results The expression of DCBLD1 mRNA,CKAP2 mRNA,N-cad mRNA,Vim mRNA and TWIST mRNA in CC cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues,and the differences were statistically significant(t=32.763～52.824,all P<0.05).The positive rates of DCBLD1 protein(89.36%)and CKAP2 protein(87.23%)in CC cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent normal tissues(7.45%,6.38%),and the differences were statistically significant(χ2=126.278,123.396,all P<0.001).The expression of DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA in CC cancer tissues were positively correlated with the expression of N-cad mRNA,Vim mRNA and TWIST mRNA(r=0.655～0.744,all P<0.001).The expression of DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA in patients with FIGO stage IB2～IIB and lymph node metastasis were higher than those in patients with stage IA～IB1 and without lymph node metastasis(t=25.644～35.674,all P<0.05).The 5-year progression free survival rates of the high expression groups of DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA were 63.04%and 62.22%,respectively,which were lower than those of the low expression groups of DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA(91.67%and 91.84%),respectively,and the differences were statistically significant(Log-Rank χ2=7.181,6.527,all P<0.05).FIGO stage IB2～IIB,high DCBLD1 mRNA and high CKAP2 mRNA were risk factors affecting the prognosis of CC patients(Wald χ2=8.277,15.877,10.927,all P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of DCBLD1 and CKAP2 in CC cancer tissues is significantly increased,which is related to EMT related indicators and plays a promoting role in the progression of CC tumors.They are new prognostic markers for CC.

Objective:To develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based automatic scoring model for magnetic resonance imaging-detected extramural vascular invasion (AI-mrEMVI) and evaluate its performance and prognostic value in patients with rectal cancer.Methods:In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, a total of 2 501 rectal cancer patients from seven centers between November 2012 and December 2020 were included and divided into completely independent training ( n=1 830) and validation ( n=671) cohorts. A nnUNet-based AI-mrEMVI scoring model was constructed. Manual mrEMVI scores assigned by two radiologists served as the reference standard for accessing the accuracy of the AI-mrEMVI scoring. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression were used to evaluate the prognostic stratification ability of the AI-mrEMVI scores. The concordance index (C-index) was calculated to evaluate prognostic performance. Results:In the validation cohort, the manual mrEMVI scores were 0-2 in 425 patients (63.3%), 3 in 89 (13.4%), and 4 in 157 (23.4%). The AI-mrEMVI model identified 0-2 in 375 patients (55.9%), 3 in 95 (14.2%), and 4 in 201 (30.0%), with an overall accuracy of 81.1% (544/671, 95% CI 77.9%-84.0%). The 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates for patients with AI-mrEMVI scores of 0-2, 3, and 4 were 85.2%, 70.0%, and 58.2%, respectively, and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 87.2%, 81.6%, and 62.6%, respectively (DFS: χ2=48.74, P<0.001; OS: χ2=30.04, P<0.001). Multivariable Cox regression showed that for DFS, AI-mrEMVI scores of 3 and 4 were associated with hazard ratios ( HR) of 1.75 (95% CI 1.11-2.77, P=0.016) and 2.65 (95% CI 1.86-3.78, P<0.001), respectively. For OS, an AI-mrEMVI score of 4 was associated with an HR of 2.56 (95% CI 1.62-4.03, P<0.001). The C-index values of the AI-mrEMVI scoring model for predicting DFS and OS were 0.647 (95% CI 0.608-0.686) and 0.650 (95% CI 0.598-0.702), respectively. Conclusion:The proposed AI-mrEMVI automatic scoring model demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy and performed favorably in predicting DFS and OS prognostic risk in patients with rectal cancer.

In order to establish a competitive chemiluminescent enzyme-linked immunoassay for rapid and quantitative detection of Senecavirus A antibodies,the polystyrene plate was coated with inactivated Senecavirus A antigen,and the monoclonal antibodies against Senecavirus A VP2 and VP3 proteins labeled by horseradish peroxidase(HRP)were used as the competitive enzymic anti-bodies of the antibodies in the serum samples.The standard curve of the calibrator prepared by di-lution of positive serum was drawn to achieve quantitative detection.The successfully established SVA competitive CLEIA reported the result within 45 minutes.The maximum dilution of 1∶2 048 for calibrator serum was still detectable with no cross-reaction with the standard positive serum of other five kinds of virus antigens such as foot-and-mouth disease.The coefficient of variation within batches was less than 10％,and the coefficient of variation between batches was less than 15％,which showed good repeatability and stability.The positive and negative coincidence rates were 95.30％and 97.57％,respectively,and the total coincidence rate was 96.88％,showing high consistency.The SVA competitive CLEIA assay established in this study can be used for the rapid quantitative detection of Senecavirus A antibodies,filling the gap in the domestic rapid quantitative detection of SVA antibodies.

Aim To compare the observation results of atomic force microscopy(AFM)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and to summarize the main problems and solutions of AFM in observing biological macromolecules,using the observa-tion subjects of protein samples purified by our research group.Methods The protein samples were diluted to 15 nmol·L-1 with PBS,fixed on glass slides,silicon wafers,and mica sheets,dried,and made into solid-phase observation samples.SEM sam-ples were plated with platinum before observation.The surface structures of proteins were observed using AFM and SEM,sample heights were calculated,and differences in results were com-pared.Results Protein samples with positive charges tended to shift to the right during observation due to the repulsion of the AFM probe;mica sheets could effectively eliminate the positive charge of proteins to avoid sample movement;PBS provided a stable environment for protein samples,but the crystallization of PBS salts interfered with probe operation and imaging clarity;SEM samples needed to be plated with platinum before observa-tion and could not achieve the precision of AFM.Conclusions Both AFM and SEM can directly observe protein structures in vitro,with AFM providing higher precision results;when protein sample stability permits,ultrapure water is preferred as the sol-vent carrier,and volatile liquids such as ethanol can also serve as solvent carriers.The application of AFM offers a new approach for pharmacological studies on interactions between biological macromolecules.
