The Healthy China 2030 Plan set the goal of reducing premature deaths from diabetes by 30% by 2030. However, there has been a lack of assessment of premature mortality for diabetes since the action plan was issued. This study used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, calculated the premature deaths for diabetes by sex, provinces, and subtypes from 1990 to 2021. We explored the temporal trend of premature mortality using the average annual percent change (AAPC) for different sexes, provinces, and subtypes from 1990 to 2021. Furthermore, we predicted premature mortality for diabetes through 2030 for China and its provinces according to the average annual change rate from 2010 to 2021. There was a first slow upward trend in premature mortality for diabetes from 0.5% in 1990 to 0.6% in 2004, and then a decline until 2021 with premature mortality of 0.4%. By 2030, only Fujian (30.3%) will achieve the desired level of reduction, with only seven provinces meeting the target for females and none for males. There is a large range in the degree of decline between inland and coastal regions, showing obvious geographic differences, and there should be a focus on balancing medical resources.

Objective:To analyze premature deaths from malignant tumors among Chinese residents from 1990 to 2021, and to quantify the extent to which changes in premature mortality from malignant tumors affect life expectancy among people aged 30 to 69 years.Methods:Using the Global Burden of Disease 2021 data on selected causes of death in China, the malignant tumor mortality rate was estimated for Chinese residents aged 30-69 years from 1990 to 2021, and life expectancy and de-malignant cause-of-death life expectancy were calculated based on the abridged life table for the Chinese population. Arriaga's decomposition method was used to assess the extent to which changes in malignant tumors mortality contributed to changes in life expectancy for people aged 30-69 years and Potential gains in life expectancy (PGLEs) for people aged 30- 69 years.Results:From 1990 to 2021, the standardized mortality rate of malignant tumors among Chinese people aged 30-69 years decreased from 154.29/100 000 to 98.58/100 000, and the change in the mortality rate of malignant tumors among people aged 30-69 years contributed to the increase of life expectancy of about 0.78 years, and the largest contribution was made by the age group aged 55-59 years, which was about 0.17 years. Among the top 10 malignant tumors, the largest "positive contributions" are stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, and liver cancer, with a cumulative contribution of 0.55 years, while pancreatic cancer hurts the increase of overall life expectancy. The PGLEs of malignant tumors for the population aged 30-69 years will be 1.69 years in 2021, which is higher for men (1.97 years) than for women (1.32 years). The top 5 malignant tumors causing loss of life expectancy in the population were tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, and liver cancer, in that order. Compared with 1990, in 2021, PGLEs for malignant tumors among people aged 30-69 years increased in seven provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), including Yunnan and Guizhou, and the rest saw a decline, with the largest decrease in Anhui Province.Conclusions:The standardized mortality rate of malignant tumors among Chinese residents aged 30-69 years declined from 1990 to 2021;the change in mortality rate of malignant tumors showed a positive effect on the growth of life expectancy, the change in PGLEs of malignant tumors varied among provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and premature deaths from tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer and gastrointestinal malignant tumors still need to be paid attention to.

Objective:To analyze the burden of asthma disease and its trends among children and adolescents aged 1 to 19 years in China during 1990-2019 and to provide a basis for optimizing the health management strategy of asthma in children and adolescents.Methods:Data based on the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Study for China were used to compare the incidence, prevalence, death, and disability adjusted life year (DALY) of children and adolescents with asthma in 1990 and 2019 and to describe the distribution of the disease burden of asthma in children and adolescents by provincial administrative regions in China from 1990 to 2019.Results:In 2019, the number of incidence, prevalence, and death were 2 154 100 [95% uncertainty interval ( UI): 1 378 000- 3 197 600], 8 690 700 (95% UI: 5 798 300-13 126 500), and 78 (95% UI: 63-106), respectively. The incidence, prevalence, and mortality were 718.23/100 000 (95% UI: 459.47/100 000-1 066.17/100 000), 2 897.73/100 000 (95% UI: 1 933.33/100 000-4 376.75/100 000), and 0.03/100 000 (95% UI: 0.02/100 000-0.04/100 000), respectively. The incidence and prevalence increased [change rate: 3.28% (95% UI: -0.66%-7.27%) and 0.58% (95% UI: -3.33%-4.18%)], respectively, and the mortality decreased [change rate: -92.17% (95% UI: -94.97%--85.78%)] compared with 1990. The age-standardized DALY rate decreased by 17.91% from 1990 to 2019. On the whole, the rate of decline showed less in the eastern and more in the western areas. The three provinces with the most significant decreases were Yunnan Province (-53.15%), Guizhou Province (-45.46%), and Tibet Autonomous Region (-35.61%). Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (0.65%) was the only region showing an increase in disease burden. The age-standardized DALY rate for asthma in children and adolescents ranged from 103.26/100 000 to 144.35/100 000 by the province in 2019. The province with the highest age-standardized DALY rate was Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (144.35/100 000), and the lowest was Heilongjiang Province (103.26/100 000). The asthma disease burden was higher in male children and adolescents than in females. Conclusions:Incidence and prevalence of asthma increased, and mortality decreased in children and adolescents in China from 1990-2019. The age-standardized DALY rate also decreased, but there were regional disparities in the rate of decline. The disease burden was more significant in males than in females. Research and prevention efforts for asthma in children and adolescents should be continued.

Objective:To improve the longevity genetic research study design by applying self-organizing maps to select a control group for longevity study.Methods:This study included the Han population aged 90 years and above or less than 80 years who have died (control group) from the natural population-based cohort formed by the fusion of the Chinese Chronic Diseases and Risk Factors Surveillance in 2013 and the China Death Surveillance System. The subjects who died of injury, infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, and malignant tumors were excluded. The self-organizing maps method, with multiple iterations and self-organizing clustering, was used to select similar factors among the population aged 90 years and above and the control group, including demographic characteristics, diseases, living habits, social behaviors, and mental and psychological factors. The study used PLINK 1.9 software to evaluate the quality of whole genome sequencing and to conduct logistic regression of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and longevity on autosomes. Q-Q plots were used to visualize the P value associated with SNPs and longevity. Results:There were 1 019 samples selected from the baseline of 177 099 survey participants for genome sequencing, including 517 in the longevity group and 502 in the control group. The longevity and the control groups are generally similar in smoking, drinking, diet, sleep duration, blood lipid level, and self-assessment oral health status but differ significantly in socio-economic status, physical activity time, BMI, and self-assessment health status. The whole genome sequencing results were controlled, and 4 618 216 SNPs were involved in association analysis. The Q-Q plot of longevity-related SNPs analysis results showed that the enrichment of P value 1e-4 was significantly lower than the expected P value, and significant signals were also detected among P<1e-7 regions. Conclusions:The self-organizing maps can comprehensively consider the influence of socioeconomic and behavioral risk factors and select longevity control samples among samples with actual age and cause of death in a large-scale natural population cohort to improve the efficiency of longevity genome association analysis. This study provides a methodological reference for nested case-control study sample selection from the large-scale natural population cohort.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathologic features of follicular lymphoma (FL) in children. Methods: One female and one male patients with FL diagnosed in the First College of Clinical Medical Science, China Three Gorges University and Beijing Friendship Hospital of the Capital University of Medical Science in February 2016 and June 2015 were studied by HE immunohistochemistry, EBER in situ hybridization, IgH and IgK gene rearrangement analysis and IRF4 fusion gene detection. Results: The two patients′ age were 6.3 and 12 years, respectively. The lesions involved head and neck lymph nodes with duration of more than 2 months. Histopathologically, the lesions consisted of nodular proliferation of lymphoid follicles with diffuse distribution of large cells. Starry sky phenomenon was seen in one of the two cases. Immunohistochemistry showed that one case was positive for bcl-2 and MUM1, but negative for bcl-6 and CD10. Ki-67 index was>50% and oligoclonal IgK rearrangement was observed. The second case showed positivity for bcl-6, and CD10 but negative for bcl-2. Ki-67 index was>50% and clonal IgH FR1-JH and IgH FR2-JH rearrangements were detected. Both cases showed no evidence of IRF4 gene fusion. Conclusions Childhood FL is a rare B-cell lymphoma with characteristic features and high-grade histomorphology. However, its immunophenotype and molecular genetic characteristics are divergent.

In recent years , there are increasing articles concerning Epstein-Barr virus associated lymphoproliferative disorder (EBV+LPD), and the name of EBV +LPD is used widely.However,the meaning of EBV+LPD used is not the same , which triggered confusion of the understanding and obstacles of the communication.In order to solve this problem.Literature was reviewed with combination of our cases to clarify the concept of EBV +LPD and to expound our understanding about it .In general, it is currently accepted that EBV +LPD refers to a spectrum of lymphoid tissue diseases with EBV infection , including hyperplasia , borderline lesions , and neoplastic diseases .According to this concept , EBV+LPD should not include infectious mononucleosis ( IM ) and severe acute EBV infection ( EBV +hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, fatal IM, fulminant IM, fulminant T-cell LPD), and should not include the explicitly named EBV+lymphomas ( such as extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma , aggressive NK cell leukemia , Burkitt lymphoma, and Hodgkin lymphoma , etc.) either.EBV +LPD should currently include: ( 1 ) EBV +B cell-LPD:lymphomatoid granulomatosis , EBV +immunodeficiency related LPD , chronic active EBV infection-B cell type, senile EBV +LPD, etc.(2) EBV +T/NK cell-LPD:CAEBV-T/NK cell type, hydroa vacciniforme, hypersensitivity of mosquito bite, etc.In addition, EBV+LPD is classified, based on the disease process , pathological and molecular data , as 3 grades:grade1, hyperplasia ( polymorphic lesions with polyclonal cells ); grade 2, borderline ( polymorphic lesions with clonality ); grade 3, neoplasm (monomorphic lesions with clonality).There are overlaps between EBV +LPD and typical hyperplasia, as well as EBV+LPD and typical lymphomas .However , the most important tasks are clinical vigilance , early identification of potential severe complications , and treating the patients in a timely manner to avoid serious complications , as well as the active treatment to save lives when the complications happened .

Objective To investigate the effects of hydrogen-rich saline on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in aged mice and the possible mechanism.Methods Seventy-two male C57BL/6 mice,aged 18 months,weighing 45-55 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =18 each):control group (group C),hydrogen-rich saline group (group H),POCD group and POCD + hydrogen-rich saline group (group PH).POCD was induced by open tibial fracture.Hydrogen-rich saline 10 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally twice a day for 7 days before surgery.Six mice were chosen at day 1,3 and 7 after surgery and cognitive function was assessed by Morris water maze test.The mice were then sacrificed and hippocampus was isolated for determination of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) contents (by ELISA) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity.Results Compared with group C,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was shortened,the frequency of crossing the original platform was decreased at 3 and 7 days after surgery,and the contents of NF-α and IL-1β and NF-κB activity were increased during 1,3 and 7 days after surgery in group POCD (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group H (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group POCD,the escape latency was significantly shortened,the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was prolonged,the frequency of crossing the original platform was increased at 3 and 7 days after surgery,and the contents of NF-α and IL-1β and NF-κB activity were decreased at 1,3 and 7 days after surgery.Conclusion Hydrogen-rich saline can alleviate POCD via inhibiting NK-κB activity in hippocampus and reducing inflammatory response.
