Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and changing trend of malignant tumor death in Danjiangkou City, the water source area along the middle route of South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Methods The surveillance data of cancer death cases in Danjiangkou City from 2015 to 2022 were collected, and the mortality rate, gender mortality rate, age-specific mortality rate and the rank of cancer cause of death were calculated. Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the trend of malignant tumor mortality and standardized mortality. Annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) were calculated to analyze the trend changes. Results From 2015 to 2022, a total of 6 254 deaths from malignant tumors were reported in Danjiangkou City, with a crude mortality rate of 178.57/100 000 and a standardized mortality rate of 152.77/100 000. There were 4 366 male deaths, and the crude mortality and standardized mortality were 244.70/100 000 and 212.87/100 000 , respectively. There were 1 888 female deaths, and the crude mortality rate and the standardized mortality rate were 109.89/100 000 and 92.69/100 000, respectively. The crude death rate of malignant tumors in the whole population in Danjiangkou City showed an increasing trend from 2015 to 2022, and the difference was statistically significant (AAPC=5.18%, t=4.07, P<0.05). The crude mortality rates of malignant tumors in both men and women showed an upward trend, and the differences were statistically significant (AAPC =5.56% and 4.35%, both P<0.05). The standardized mortality rates of malignant tumors in the whole population, women and men remained stable, and the differences were not statistically significant (AAPC=0.68, 1.59 and -0.74, all P>0.05). The trend analysis of age-specific mortality of malignant tumors showed that the age-specific mortality of malignant tumors in the whole population, men and women showed an increasing trend with age, and the differences were statistically significant (AAPC =9.22%, 9.40% and 8.53%, P<0.05). The mortality rate of malignant tumors in 0-, 1-, 10-, 45- and 70- age groups decreased year by year (AAPC =-79.62%, -7.19%, -65.99%, -8.88%, and -5.83%, all P<0.05). The mortality rate in the age group of over 75 years old showed an increasing trend (AAPC =12.24%, P<0.05), and the differences were statistically significant. The top 10 malignant tumor deaths in the whole population were lung cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer , leukemia , pancreatic cancer , breast cancer , brain malignant tumor and cervical cancer, accounting for 88.49% of all malignant tumor deaths. Mortality rates in lung cancer (AAPC =6.75%), esophageal cancer (AAPC=11.24%), colorectal cancer (AAPC =12.95%), leukemia (AAPC=8.10%), pancreatic cancer (AAPC=15.11%), breast cancer (AAPC=13.11%) and brain malignancies (AAPC=11.16%) showed an increasing trend, and the differences were statistical significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Malignant tumor is the main cause of death in Danjiangkou City. The death rate increases year by year and increases with age. Lung cancer, stomach cancer and liver cancer are the main causes of death. Men and the elderly are high-risk groups of malignant tumors. Early detection and treatment of malignant tumors should be strengthened to reduce the incidence and death.

Objective Some colorectal cancer patients still face high recurrence rates and poor prognoses even after they have undergone the surgical treatment of radical resection.Identifying potential biochemical markers and therapeutic targets for the prognostic evaluation of patients undergoing radical resection of colorectal cancer is crucial for improving their clinical outcomes.Recently,it has been reported that the T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain protein 3(Tim-3)and its ligand galactose lectin 9(galectin-9)play crucial roles in immune dysfunction caused by various tumors,such as colorectal cancer.However,their expressions,biological functions,and prognostic value in colorectal cancer are still unclear.This study aims to investigate the relationship between Tim-3 and galectin-9 expression levels and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients undergoing radical resection of colorectal cancer.Methods A total of 171 patients who underwent radical resection of colorectal cancer at Chengdu Fifth People's Hospital between February 2018 and March 2019 were selected.Immunohistochemistry was performed to assess the expression levels of Tim-3 and galectin-9 in the cancer tissue samples and the paracancerous tissue samples of the patients.The relationship between Tim-3 and galectin-9 expression levels and the baseline clinical parameters of the patients was analyzed accordingly.Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to assess the association between Tim-3 and galectin-9 expression levels and the relapse-free survival(RFS)and the overall survival(OS)of colorectal cancer patients.Cox regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with adverse prognosis in the patients.Results The immunohistochemical results showed that the high expression levels of Tim-3 and galectin-9 were observed in 70.18%(120/171)and 32.16%(55/171),respectively,of the colorectal cancer tissues,whereas the low expression levels were 29.82%(51/171)and 67.84%(116/171),respectively.Furthermore,the expression score of Tim-3 was significantly higher in colorectal cancer tissues than that in the paracancerous tissues,while the expression score of galectin-9 was lower than that in the paracancerous tissues(P＜0.05).Further analysis revealed that the expression of Tim-3 and galectin-9 was associated with the depth of tumor infiltration,vascular infiltration,and clinical staging(P＜0.05).During the follow-up period of 14-63 months,7 out of 171 patients were lost to follow-up.Among the remaining patients,49 and 112 cases presented abnormally low expression of Tim-3 and galectin-9,respectively,whereas 115 and 52 cases presented high expression of Tim-3 and galectin-9,respectively.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that patients with high Tim-3 expression in colorectal cancer tissues had significantly lower RFS and OS than those with low expression did(RFS:log-rank=22.66,P＜0.001;OS:log-rank=19.71,P＜0.001).Conversely,patients with low galectin-9 expression had significantly lower RFS and OS than those with high expression did(RFS:log-rank=19.45,P＜0.001;OS:log-rank=22.24,P＜0.001).Cox multivariate analysis indicated that TNM stage Ⅲ(HR=2.26,95%CI:1.20-5.68),high expression of Tim-3(HR=0.80,95%CI:0.33-0.91),and low expression of galectin-9(HR=1.80,95%CI:1.33-4.70)were independent risk factors affecting RFS and OS in patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Aberrant expression of Tim-3 and galectin-9 is observed in colorectal cancer tissues.High expression of Tim-3 and low expression of galectin-9 are closely associated with adverse clinico-pathological characteristics and prognosis.They are identified as independent influencing factors that may trigger adverse prognostic events in patients.These findings suggest that Tim-3 and galectin-9 have potential as new therapeutic targets and clinical indicators.

Histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) has been implicated in the disease progression of several types of solid tumors. This study provides the first evidence showing that LSD1 overexpression occurred in 62.6% (224/358) of clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC). LSD1 expression was associated with the progression of ccRCC, as indicated by TNM stage (=0.006), especially tumor stage (=0.017) and lymph node metastasis (=0.030). High LSD1 expression proved to be an independent prognostic factor for poor overall survival (<0.001) and recurrence-free survival (<0.001) of ccRCC patients. We further show that LSD1 inhibition by siRNA knockdown or using the small molecule inhibitor SP2509 suppressed the growth of ccRCC and . Mechanistically, inhibition of LSD1 decreased the H3K4 demethylation at the gene promoter, which was associated with P21 upregulation and cell cycle arrest at G1/S in ccRCC cells. Our findings provide new mechanistic insights into the role of LSD1 in ccRCC and suggest the therapeutic potential of LSD1 inhibitors in ccRCC treatment.
