Cancer has become one of the most significant diseases threatening human life and health. In 2022, there were 19.97 million new cancer cases and 9.74 million cancer-related deaths worldwide, imposing a heavy burden on society. A systematic and comprehensive understanding of the cancer burden is the cornerstone for formulating effective prevention and control strategies. Open-source databases, represented by the GLOBOCAN database and the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database, provide critical support for obtaining the latest cancer burden data, identifying key areas for prevention and control, guiding screening and early diagnosis and treatment, and evaluating the effectiveness of intervention measures. However, the field of cancer big data also faces challenges, such as insufficient data standardization and inadequate privacy protection mechanisms. In the future, while ensuring patient privacy and security, efforts should be made to further improve data quality, promote data sharing, enhance the equity of cancer prevention and treatment resources, and strengthen international collaboration. These measures will reasonably advance the precision and scientific development of cancer prevention and control strategies, with the aim of reducing the cancer burden and contributing to global health and well-being.

To analyze the disease burden, temporal trends, and attributable risk factors of early-onset female breast cancer (EOBC) in China and globally from 1990 to 2021.

BACKGROUND: Most studies have evaluated disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients based on a set of generic disability weights (DWs). This study aimed to apply local CRC-stage-specific DWs to estimate the burden of DALYs for CRC (CRC-DALYs) in populations in China and consider the influence of local screening coverage of CRC. METHODS: A prevalence-based model was constructed using data from various sources. Years lived with disability (YLDs) were estimated mainly via cumulative prevalence data (based on CRC incidence rates, population numbers, and survival rates), stage-specific proportions of CRC, and DWs of the local population. Years of life lost (YLLs) were calculated based on the CRC mortality rates and standard life expectancies. CRC incidence and mortality rates for the years 2020, 2025, and 2030 were estimated by joinpoint regression, and the corresponding DALYs were predicted. The main assumption was made for CRC screening coverage. Sensitivity analyses were used to assess the impact of population, DWs, and coverage. RESULTS: In 2017, among the Chinese population, the estimated number of CRC-DALYs was 4,303,314 (11.9% for YLDs). If CRC screening coverage rate in China (2.3%) remains unchanged, the overall DALYs in 2030 are predicted to increase by 37.2% (45.1% of those aged ≥65 years). More optimistically, the DALYs would then decrease by 0.7% in 2030 (from 5,902,454 to 5,860,200) if the coverage could be increased to 25.0%. A sensitivity analysis revealed that using local DWs would change the base-case values by 5.7%. CONCLUSIONS The estimated CRC-DALYs in China using population-specific DWs were considerably lower (with a higher percentage of YLDs) than the global burden of disease (GBD) estimates (5,865,004, of 4.6% for YLDs), suggesting the impact extent of applying local parameters. Sustainable scale-up CRC screening needs to be in place to moderate the growth trend of CRC-DALYs in China.

Objective:To investigate whether neoadjuvant therapy can improve the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer.Methods:A retrospective case-control study analyzed data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database on 12, 103 patients who underwent surgical treatment between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2021. Patients were divided into the neoadjuvant therapy group ( n=3 276) and the upfront surgery group ( n=8 827) based on whether they received neoadjuvant treatment. The neoadjuvant therapy group included 2 342 patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 934 patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. The upfront surgery group consisted of 4 335 patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy, 1 987 patients receiving adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, 63 patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy, and 2 442 patients undergoing surgery alone. Propensity score matching was used to eliminate group differences and create a cohort with no statistical differences in other clinicopathological features except for the grouping variable. Variables such as age, gender, tumor location, race, population of residence, tumor diameter, household income, TNM stage, and information on radiotherapy and chemotherapy were used for 1∶1 case matching. T stage, N stage, and the use of radiotherapy or chemotherapy were matched exactly. After matching, 1 182 patients were included in each group: the neoadjuvant therapy group contained 1 155 patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and 27 receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy, while the upfront surgery group comprised 848 patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy and 334 receiving adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. TNM staging was reported according to the 7th edition of the AJCC guidelines. The primary outcome was overall survival. Measurement data with skewed distributions were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and intergroup comparisons were conducted using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Categorical data were compared using the chi-square test or the Fisher′s exact test. The Log-rank test and subgroup analyses to assess interactions between neoadjuvant therapy and subgroup in COX regression models were used to compare survival benefits across variables. Landmark analysis was performed to create segmented survival curves, studying the impact of neoadjuvant therapy on prognosis during different follow-up periods. Results:The neoadjuvant therapy group had a higher proportion of T 4 tumor involving celiac axis, superior mesenteric artery, and/or common hepatic artery compared to the upfront surgery group (14.7% vs 2.8%, P<0.001). Additionally, significant differences were observed between groups in terms of race, location, population of residence, age, tumor diameter, tumor stage, and adjuvant therapy regimen ( P<0.05). The median overall survival time in the neoadjuvant therapy group was 30 months, compared to 22 months in the upfront surgery group ( P<0.001). In the neoadjuvant therapy group, the median survival was 30 months for both neoadjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy patients; in the upfront surgery group, it was 26 months for both adjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy patients, 17 months for adjuvant radiotherapy patients, and 12 months for surgery-only patients. After propensity score matching, there were no differences in the distribution of clinical characteristics between groups ( P>0.05), and all patients in the matched cohort had received chemotherapy. The matched neoadjuvant therapy group had a longer median overall survival compared to the upfront surgery group (30 months vs 27 months, P<0.001). Subgroup interaction analysis revealed that T stage had a significant interaction with neoadjuvant therapy, both before (T 4 stage: HR=0.382, 95% CI: 0.319-0.458; T 2-T 3 stages: HR=0.696, 95% CI: 0.656-0.738; T 1 stage: HR=1.199, 95% CI: 0.867-1.657; interaction P<0.001) and after matching (T 4 stage: HR=0.581, 95% CI: 0.414-0.814; T 2-T 3 stages: HR=0.827, 95% CI: 0.734-0.931; T 1 stage: HR=1.320, 95% CI: 0.716-2.433; interaction P=0.043). Subgroup interaction analysis indicated that T 1 patients did not benefit from neoadjuvant therapy; survival curves plotted for matched T 1 patients showed no difference in survival between the neoadjuvant therapy group and the upfront surgery group ( P=0.323). Conversely, non-T 1 (T 2-T 4) stage patients showed significant survival benefits in both unmatched and matched cohorts ( P<0.001). Landmark analysis showing that the survival benefits occurred mainly in the early postoperative period of up to 3 years ( P<0.001), but there was no difference in overall survival between the neoadjuvant therapy group and the upfront surgery group of >3 years ( P>0.05). Patients with Arterial invasion (T 4 stage compared to T 1-T 3 stages) showed a similarly significant interaction with the benefit of neoadjuvant therapy in both the pre-matching cohort (interaction P<0.001) and the post-matching cohort (interaction P=0.037). Patients with T 4 stage disease in the neoadjuvant therapy group had longer overall survival compared to the upfront surgery group (median overall survival in pre-matching cohort: 30 months vs 13 months, P<0.001; median overall survival in post-matching cohort: 28 months vs 18 months, P=0.001). Among T 4 stage patients in the post-matching cohort, neoadjuvant therapy provided significant survival benefits during the early postoperative period of up to 3 years ( P=0.001). However, there was no difference in overall survival between the neoadjuvant therapy group and the direct surgery group beyond 3 years( P=0.729). Conclusions:The prognosis in the neoadjuvant therapy group was better than in the upfront surgery group. Propensity score matching and subgroup interaction analysis showed that non-T 1 and T 4 stage patients benefited more from neoadjuvant therapy, with benefits mainly seen in the early postoperative period (≤3 years).

Objective To establish a model that integrates ultrasound features and immunological characteristics for predicting the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC)in breast cancer patients.Methods A total of 203 breast cancer patients undergoing preoperative NAC at the Fifth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital between July 2021 and July 2024 were screened.In line with the inclusion/exclusion criteria,177 patients were included.Data on ultrasound and immunohistochemistry was collected.These patients were divided into pathological complete response(pCR)and non-pathological complete response(non-pCR)groups based on postoperative pathology.Factors with P＜0.0 1 in univariate analysis were evaluated using multivariate Logistic regression.Independent predictive factors were used to construct and validate the ultrasound-immunohistochemical model via Bootstrap.Results The reduction rateof the maximum diameter of lesions,posterior echo attenuation,PR status and HER-2 status were identified as independent predictors of pCR(all P＜0.05).The model proved to be highly accurate and stable.Conclusion The model that combines ultrasound and immunohistochemical features can effectively evaluatep CR after NAC in breast cancer patients.

Objective:To evaluate the role of O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase (OSGEP) in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) and the relationship with oxidative stress in mice.Methods:Experiment Ⅰ Twenty-four SPF healthy male C57BL/6 mice, 12 wild-type and 12 OSGEP knockdown, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=6 each) by the random number table method: wild-type shamoperation group (Sham group), wild-type HIRI group (HIRI group), OSGEP knockdown+ sham operation group (Sham+ KD group) and OSGEP knockdown+ HIRI group (HIRI+ KD group). Ischemia-reperfusion model was prepared by blocking the hepatic artery and portal vein for 60 min followed by reperfusion in anesthetized animals, the blood vessels were only exposed without occlusion in Sham group and Sham+ KD group, and the blood vessels were clamped for 60 min followed by reperfusion in HIRI group and HIRI+ KD group. The mice were sacrificed after 6-h reperfusion to extract liver tissue samples for microscopic examination of histopathological changes (with an optical microscope after HE staining) which were evaluated using Suzuki score and for determination of the serum concentrations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (using the DCFH-DA fluorescent probe method), contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione(GSH) in liver tissues (using a colorimetric method) and expression of OSGEP (using Western blot). Experiment Ⅱ The well-growing AML12 cells were divided into 4 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: control group (C group), oxygen-glucose deprivation/restoration (OGD/R) group, OGD/R+ OSGEP knockdown group (OGD/R+ KD group), and OGD/R+ OSGEP knockdown negative control group (OGD/R+ NC group). Group C was cultured under normal conditions. Group OGD/R was subjected to O 2-glucose deprivation for 6 h followed by restoration of O 2-glucose supply for 24 h in OGD/R group. In OGD/R+ KD group, stable transfection of AML12 cells with OSGEP knockdown was performed prior to the experiment, and the other procedures were the same as those previously described. The cell survival rate was measured by the CCK-8 assay, the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was measured, the DCFH-DA method was used to detect the levels of ROS, and the contents of MDA and GSH were determined using a colorimetric method. Results:Experiment Ⅰ Compared with Sham group, the expression of OSGEP was significantly down-regulated, the serum concentrations of AST and ALT, Suzuki score, levels of ROS and content of MDA were increased, and the GSH content was decreased in HIRI group ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in each parameter in Sham+ KD group ( P>0.05). Compared with HIRI group, the serum concentrations of AST and ALT, Suzuki score, levels of ROS and content of MDA were significantly increased, and the GSH content was decreased in HIRI+ KD group ( P<0.05). Experiment Ⅱ Compared with group C, the expression of OSGEP was significantly down-regulated, the cell survival rate and GSH content were decreased, and the release of LDH, levels of ROS and content of MDA were increased in group OGD/R ( P<0.05). Compared with OGD/R group, the cell survival rate and GSH content were significantly decreased, and the release of LDH, levels of ROS and content of MDA were increased in OGD/R+ KD group ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in each parameter in OGD/R+ NC group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:OSGEP plays an endogenous protective role in HIRI by inhibiting oxidative stress in mice.

Implementation strategies are targeted interventions aimed at promoting the adoption, implementation, and sustainment of research findings or evidence-based practices in routine healthcare. If implementation strategies can precisely match implementation barriers and facilitators, the likelihood of successful implementation will increase. The CFIR-ERIC matching tool, which can match corresponding ERIC implementation strategies based on CFIR barriers, is a convenient and direct tool for developing implementation strategies. This paper provides a detailed overview of the origins and development of the CFIR-ERIC matching tool, outlines its contents and usage, and illustrates how to apply the tool to develop implementation strategies by using a brief smoking cessation intervention project as an example. The paper also discusses the advantages and limitations of using this tool for developing implementation strategies, with the aim of providing methodological reference for other researchers.
