[Purpose]To analyze the trends of incidence and age at onset of leukemia in Jiangsu cancer registration areas from 2009 to 2019.[Methods]The continuous monitoring data of leukemia from 2009 to 2019 were collected from 16 cancer registries in Jiangsu Province.All datasets were checked and evaluated based on data quality control criteria and were included in the analysis.Crude incidence rate(CIR),age-standardized incidence rate by Chinese standard population(ASIRC),the average annual percentage change(AAPC),the standardized average age at onset,the changes in the age structure of incidence and the changes in the birth cohort by year were calculated.[Results]The incidence rate of leukemia significantly increased from 5.22/105 in 2009 to 7.88/105 in 2019,with a significant upward trend(for CIR,AAPC=4.95％,95％CI:3.82％～6.09％;for ASIRC,AAPC=2.97％,95％CI:1.52％～4.43％).The incidence rates were in-creased in all age groups and increased with the birth cohort by years.There was a tendency of backward shift for the age composition of the population,with the increasing of composition for those over 60 years old.The mean age at onset increased from 48.62 years old in 2009 to 57.96 years old in 2019,with a backward shift in the mean age(β=0.773,P＜0.001),and the mean age at onset increased with the year only in rural areas after standardization(β=0.428,P=0.017).[Conclusion]Leukemia incidence rate in Jiangsu Province increased from 2009 to 2019,and the age at onset has shifted backwards.It's important to strengthen the early prevention and control of leukemia.

Objective:To analyze the changes in the incidence trend of liver cancer in Taizhou of Jiangsu Province, from 2012 to 2020 and provide reference for tumor prevention and control and management.Methods:Liver cancer incidence data from 2012 to 2020 were extracted from the Taizhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention's tumor registry system. Demographic data were used to calculate the crude incidence rate, age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), Chinese age-standardized incidence rate (CASIR; based on China's 2010 standard population), and world age-standardized incidence rate (WASIR; based on Segi's world standard population). The Joinpoint regression model was applied to identify inflection points in liver cancer incidence trends during 2012-2020, and annual percentage change (APC) with average annual percentage change (AAPC) were calculated.Results:In 2020, the crude incidence ratio (CIR) of liver cancer in Taizhou was 34.6 per 100 000, with CASIR and WASIR at 19.6 per 100 000 and 14.9 per 100 000, respectively. From 2012 to 2020, the male-to-female ratio of new liver cancer cases was 2.94∶1 (10 455 males vs. 3 559 females), with male incidence consistently higher than female. Overall liver cancer incidence in Taizhou initially increased and then decreased after 2017 (2012-2017: APC=6.4%, P=0.014; 2017-2020: APC=-9.5%, P=0.035), peaking at a CASIR of 26.2 per 100 000 in 2017. The trend in male incidence mirrored the overall pattern, rising before 2017 and declining thereafter (2012-2017: APC=6.2%, P=0.005; 2017-2020: APC=-9.0%, P=0.016). Female incidence remained relatively stable (2012-2016: APC=11.0%, P=0.054; 2016-2020: APC=-6.5%, P=0.130). Conclusions:Liver cancer incidence in Taizhou increased before 2017 and declined thereafter, with 2017 as the turning point. Amid population aging, liver cancer remains a persistent public health challenge requiring sustained attention.

Objective:To discuss the regulatory effect of berberine(BBR)on fatty acids in the human glioma T98G cells and its effect on the cell proliferation,migration,and invasion,and to clarify its potential mechanism.Methods:The T98G cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group and different concentrations(25,50,and 100 mg·L-1)of BBR groups.Cell wound healing assay was used to detect the migration rates of the cells in various groups;Transwell chamber assay was used to detect the invasion rates of the cells in various groups.The T98G cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group and 100 mg·L-1 BBR group,and Mass spectrometry was used to detect the fatty acid contents in the cells in two groups.The T98G cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group and different concentrations(50,100,and 150 mg·L-1)of BBR groups;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K),phosphorylated PI3K(p-PI3K),protein kinase B(AKT),phosphorylated AKT(p-AKT),sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1(SREBP-1),and fatty acid synthase(FASN)in the cells in various groups.The expression of FASN was suppressed by gene silencing technology,and the T98G cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group,shFASN1 group,and shFASN2 group.Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of FASN protein in the cells in various groups;clone formation assay was used to detect the clone formation of the cells in various groups;cell wound healing assay was used to detect the migration rates of the cells in various groups.Results:Compared with control group,the migration rates and invasion rates of the cells in different concentrations of BBR groups were decreased in a concentration-dependent manner(P<0.01),and the fatty acid content in the cells in 100 mg·L-1 BBR group was significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with control group,the expression levels of p-PI3K,p-AKT,SREBP-1,and FASN proteins in the cells in 150 mg·L-1 BBR group were significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and the expression level of SREBP-1 protein in the cells in 100 and 150 mg·L-1 BBR groups were significantly decreased(P<0.01).After suppression of FASN expression,compared with control group,the expression levels of FASN protein in the cells in shFASN1 and shFASN2 groups were significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the expression level of FASN protein in the cells in shFASN2 group was lower than that in shFASN1 group(P<0.05);compared with control group,the numbers of clone formation and migration rates of the cells in shFASN1 and shFASN2 groups were significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the migration rate of the cells in shFASN2 group was significantly lower than that in shFASN1 group(P<0.05).Conclusion:BBR interferes with fatty acid synthesis in the glioma T98G cells by reducing the expression of the PI3K/AKT/SREBP-1/FASN pathway related proteins,and decrease their migration and invasion capabilities.

Objective:To develop and validate a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for determining levofloxacin in plasma sample from pediatric patients.Method:This is a prospective, observational study. The clinical residual plasma samples from healthy individuals for physical examination in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University were collected as blank matrix. Plasma samples from five pediatric patients who did not receive levofloxacin or ciprofloxacin in the department of Respiration were collected for methodological evaluation. In addition, 34 clinical plasma samples from 22 pediatric patients (9 males and 13 females; mean age (8.1±3.7) years) using levofloxacin was collected, and their plasma concentrations were determined. Using ciprofloxacin as the internal standard, levofloxacin in plasma samples was quantified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry following protein precipitation using acetonitrile. A C18 column (Shim-pac GIST-HP C18, 2.1 mm×100 mm, 3 μm) and mobile phase composed of water (containing 0.1% formic acid) and acetonitrile (containing 0.1% formic acid) with gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.4 ml/min were used to separate levofloxacin. The column temperature was 40 ℃, injection volume was 1 μl and the total analysis time was 9 min. Levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were ionized with an ESI source in positive ion mode and detected in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The detected ions of levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were m/z 362.10→318.1 and 332.15→231.05, respectively. The method′s specificity, sensitivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery rate, stability, matrix effect, and carry-over were validated. All statistical analyses were performed with SPSS statistical software (version 17.0). The normality of the data was detected by the K-S test. A P<0.05 was considered statistically significant for two tailed tests. Results:The LC-MS/MS method showed a good linearity within the range of 0.062 5-20 mg/L, with the lower detection limit of levofloxacin of 0.062 5 mg/L. The calibration curve for levofloxacin was Y=0.093X+0.010 ( R2>0.99). Under different quality control levels, the accuracy ranged from 92.57% to 104.39%, and the intra-day and inter-day imprecision ranged from 2.32% to 9.35%. These values were not affected by the normal matrix, 5% hemolysis matrix and 15% hyperlipidemia matrix. Furthermore, the levofloxacin plasma samples were stable in the short term. A total of 34 plasma samples from 22 patients were collected and analyzed. Only 2 plasma samples were below the lower limit of quantification, while the other plasma concentrations of levofloxacin were ranged from 0.091 to 6.755 mg/L. Cmax was (5.52 ± 1.09) mg/L. Conclusion:The LC-MS/MS method meets the requirements of the reference method and requires a small sample size (50 μl), making it suitable for the determination of levofloxacin in plasma from pediatric patients.

Chronic refractory wounds have been a challenge for clinical treatment because of their diverse causative factors and complex pathological processes, long healing times, and high treatment costs. The microenvironment of the wound surface includes the external microenvironment of the periwound surface, the internal microenvironment of the wound surface, and subsurface physiological structures. Research on clinical treatment strategies based on the microenvironment of chronic refractory wounds continues to innovate and make progress. Hydrogels have the advantages of high-water content, adjustable performance, good biocompatibility, and similarity to extracellular matrix. The ability of hydrogels to load drugs and their modification to confer excellent tissue adhesion, antibacterial, antioxidant, and modulation of inflammatory factor expression can be used to achieve a multi-factor response and modulation of the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the trauma microenvironment. Therefore, hydrogels have outstanding advantages and clinical application prospects in the repair of chronic, difficult-to-heal wounds. In this review paper, the characteristics and etiology of chronic refractory wounds were introduced, and the classification of microenvironment-responsive hydrogels for chronic refractory wounds and their application in the repair of refractory wounds were reviewed. Besides, the shortcomings of current hydrogels were discussed, and an outlook was proposed.

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of gastric cancer patients under the age of 40. Methods : The clinical data of 126 young gastric cancer patients under the age of 40 were retrospectively analyzed. Log⁃Rank test and Cox regression model were used to analyze prognostic risk factors ,respectively. Results: The average age of gastric cancer patients in our group was 33. 6 years ,and there were more female patients than male patients(female ∶ male = 1. 25 ∶ 1) , Upper abdominal pain and fullness discomfort were the most common clinical manifestations ,and the predominant sites were gastric antrum angle (43. 7% ) and gastric body (42. 9% ) . Lauren type was mainly diffuse type (89. 7% ) , Nakamura type was mainly undifferentiated type (91. 3% ) , and WHO type was the most common type of low⁃adherence carcinoma (46. 8% ) . 71. 4% of patients were diagnosed with advanced 46. 7% , respectively. The results of univariate analysis showed that the levels of serum CA199 ,tumor length ,depth of tumor invasion ,lymphatic metastasis ,vascular invasion ,and surgical approach were risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that the levels of serum CA199 ,the depth of tumor invasion and surgical approach were independent prognostic factors. Conclusion Young gastric cancer has a high degree of malignancy and strong biological invasiveness. Most patients are diagnosed at the advanced stage of the tumor,and the overall prognosis is poor. The levels of serum CA199 ,the depth of tumor invasion and surgical approach were independent prognostic factors.
