ObjectiveTo analyze the trend of lung cancer incidence in Fenghua District, Ningbo City of Zhejiang Province from 2009 to 2023, and to estimate the age-period- cohort effects of incidence rate, so as to provide scientific basis for the formulation of lung cancer prevention and control measures in Fenghua District. MethodsJoinpoint software was utilized to analyze the trends and calculate the average annual percentage change (AAPC) of lung cancer incidence based on the tumor incidence surveillance data from Fenghua District, 2009‒2023. The age-period-cohort (APC) model for lung cancer incidence was analyzed using STATA 17.0 software, and net drift and local drift of lung cancer incidence rates were analyzed using online analytical tools. ResultsThe incidence of lung cancer in Fenghua District showed an overall upward trend from 2009 to 2023, with the standardized incidence rate increasing from 45.05/100 000 in 2009 to 108.20/100 000 in 2023(AAPC=7.05%, P<0.05). The increase in the standardized incidence rate for females (AAPC=12.72%, P<0.05) was higher than that for males (AAPC=2.97%, P<0.05). The overall net drift in lung cancer incidence for residents of Fenghua District was 11.71%, with the net drift for females (16.54%) being higher than that for males (6.64%). The local drift in lung cancer incidence among different age groups ranged from -3.37% to 35.18%. The results of APC model showed that the risk of lung cancer incidence increased and then decreased with age, with the highest age effect coefficient observed in the 65‒69 years age group at 1.08. The period effect showed a gradually increasing trend in lung cancer incidence risk with the progression of time, and the period effect coefficient in 2019‒2023 (0.46) was higher than that in 2009‒2013 (-0.39), increasing by 217.95%. The cohort effect coefficient showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing with the expansion of the birth cohort, in which the lowest cohort effect coefficient was -1.07 observed in the birth cohort of 1964‒1968 and the highest cohort effect coefficient was 1.77 in the birth cohort of 1924‒1928. ConclusionThe incidence of lung cancer in Fenghua District shows an upward trend from 2009 to 2023, with a higher increase in incidence rates among females than that in males. The risk of lung cancer incidence exists a trend of increasing and then decreasing with age growth. With the progression of time, the risk of lung cancer incidence shows a gradually increasing trend. However, with the expansion the birth cohort, the risk of lung cancer incidence demonstrates a trend of first decreasing and then increasing.

Objective:To summarize the clinical, pathological and molecular characteristics of various types of pediatric glioma, and to explore the differences in the morphology and clinical significance among various types of pediatric glioma.Methods:Based on the fifth edition of the World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumors, this study classified or reclassified 111 pediatric gliomas that were diagnosed at Guangzhou Medical University Affiliated Women and Children′s Medical Center from January 2020 to June 2023. The clinical manifestations, imaging findings, histopathology, and molecular characteristics of these tumors were analyzed. Relevant literature was also reviewed.Results:The 111 patients with pediatric glioma included 56 males and 55 females, with the age ranging from 10 days to 13 years (average age, 5.5 years). Clinically, manifestations presented from 5 days to 8 years before the diagnosis, including epilepsy in 16 cases, increased intracranial pressure in 48 cases and neurological impairment in 66 cases. MRI examinations revealed tumor locations as supratentorial in 43 cases, infratentorial in 65 cases, and spinal cord in 3 cases. There were 73 cases presented with a solid mass and 38 cases with cystic-solid lesions. The largest tumor diameter ranged from 1.4 to 10.6 cm. Among the 111 pediatric gliomas, there were 6 cases of pediatric diffuse low-grade glioma (pDLGG), 63 cases of circumscribed astrocytoma glioma (CAG), and 42 cases of pediatric diffuse high-grade glioma (pDHGG). Patients with pDLGG and CAG were younger than those with pDHGG. The incidence of pDLGG and CAG was significantly lower in the midline of the infratentorial region compared to that of pDHGG. They were more likely to be completely resected surgically. The pDLGG and CAG group included 4 cases of pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, showing histological features of high-grade gliomas. Among the high-grade gliomas, 13 cases were diffuse midline gliomas and also showed histological features of low-grade glioma. Immunohistochemical studies of H3K27M, H3K27ME3, p53, ATRX, BRAF V600E, and Ki-67 showed significant differences between the pDLGG and CAG group versus the pDHGG group ( P<0.01). Molecular testing revealed that common molecular variations in the pDLGG and CAG group were KIAA1549-BRAF fusion and BRAF V600E mutation, while the pDHGG group frequently exhibited mutations in HIST1H3B and H3F3A genes, 1q amplification, and TP53 gene mutations. With integrated molecular testing, 2 pathological diagnoses were revised, and the pathological subtypes of 35.3% (12/34) of the pediatric gliomas that could not be reliably classified by histology were successfully classified. Conclusions:There are significant differences in clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics, molecular variations, and prognosis between the pDLGG, CAG and pDHGG groups. The integrated diagnosis combining histology and molecular features is of great importance for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of pediatric gliomas.

Objective:To investigate the current comorbidity status among hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia in residents aged 35-75 years in Tianjin and to explore the main influencing factors to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of chronic disease comorbidity.Methods:From June 2019 to November 2023, 10 districts (Hedong, Hexi, Dongli, Beichen, Nankai, Xiqing, Wuqing, Baodi, Jizhou, and Binhai New District) in Tianjin were selected as the project sites. The community and natural village was used as the primary sampling unit, and each project site selected the screening sites by cluster random sampling method. Residents aged 35-75 who lived in the screening sites for 6 months and above were surveyed by questionnaire, physical examination, and biochemical tests. The chi-square test, analysis of variance, and multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Age-standardized prevalence was based on the data of the sixth national census.Results:A total of 146 832 participants were included in this study, including 61 994 males (42.22%) and 84 838 females (57.78%), with an age of (56.83±8.84) years. The number of people with only one disease was 55 485 (37.79%), the number of people with two diseases was 36 942 (25.16%), and the number of people with three diseases was 9 683 (6.59%). The prevalence of hypertension combined with dyslipidemia was the highest (17.23%), and the standardized prevalence were 14.44%. The prevalence rates of three diseases and hypertension combined with diabetes was 6.59% and 4.98%, respectively, and the standardized prevalence was 5.42% and 4.11%, respectively. The prevalence of diabetes combined with dyslipidemia was 2.95%, and the standardized prevalence was 2.45%. Multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age (65- 75 years old: OR=2.69, 95% CI: 2.28-3.18), overweight/obesity (overweight: OR=2.21, 95% CI: 2.02-2.41; obesity: OR=4.50, 95% CI: 4.03-5.02), daily smoking ( OR=1.96, 95% CI: 1.72-2.24), regular and heavy drinking ( OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.18-2.27), family history of hypertension/diabetes/hyperlipidemia (family history of hypertension: OR=81.17, 95% CI: 74.68-88.22; family history of diabetes: OR=15.26, 95% CI: 13.71-16.99; family history of hyperlipidemia: OR=7.13, 95% CI: 5.92-8.59), tea drinking (occasional tea drinking group: OR=1.74, 95% CI: 1.52-2.00; frequent tea drinking group: OR=2.23, 95% CI: 1.92-2.59) were risk factors for the comorbidity of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia (all P<0.05), while higher education level was a protective factor (senior high school/technical secondary school: OR=0.79, 95% CI: 0.72-0.86; college/bachelor's degree and above: OR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.53-0.68, all P<0.001). Conclusions:The comorbidity rate of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia is high in residents aged 35-75 years in Tianjin. It is necessary to strengthen the co-management of blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipid in key populations with old age, overweight/obesity, junior high school education or below, daily smoking, daily drinking, occasional or frequent tea drinking, and family history of hypertension/diabetes/dyslipidemia, and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Objective:To understand the interaction effect of general obesity, central obesity, and dyslipidemia on the risk of hypertension to provide scientific evidence for the early prevention and control of hypertension.Methods:From 2019 to 2023, 10 of the 16 districts in Tianjin were selected as project sites. A community and a natural village were selected as monitoring sites in each project site using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method. A questionnaire, physical, and biochemical examination were conducted on permanent residents aged 35-75 who had lived in the surveillance sites for more than half a year. The chi-square test univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. The multiplicative and additive models were used to calculate the interaction between general obesity and dyslipidemia, as well as central obesity and dyslipidemia, respectively.Results:A total of 177 160 subjects were included in the study, with an age of (56.44±8.62) years old. There were 29 535 (16.67%) patients with general obesity, 67 338 (38.01%) patients with central obesity, 64 906 (36.64%) patients with dyslipidemia, and 90 266 (50.95%) patients with hypertension. Multiplication interaction analysis results showed that, after adjusting for gender, age, culture level, marriage status, drinking, smoking, and diabetes, the multiplicative interactions between general obesity and dyslipidemia, and central obesity and dyslipidemia on hypertension were statistically significant (all P<0.001), and the adjusted OR and 95% CI were 2.57 (2.47-2.68) and 2.14 (2.08-2.20), respectively. The results of the additive interaction analysis demonstrated that after adjusting for relevant variables, the relative excess risk of interaction ( RERI), the attributable proportion of interaction ( API), and the synergy index ( SI) of the interaction between generalized obesity and dyslipidemia were 0.48 (95% CI: 0.33-0.63), 0.15 (95% CI: 0.11-0.19), and 1.27 (95% CI: 1.18-1.36), respectively; the RERI, API, and SI of the interaction between central obesity and dyslipidemia were 0.37 (95% CI: 0.28-0.46), 0.13 (95% CI: 0.10-0.16), and 1.25 (95% CI: 1.18-1.32), respectively. Conclusions:There might be multiplicative and additive interactions between general obesity, central obesity, and dyslipidemia on the risk of hypertension. Simultaneous control of BMI, waist circumference, and blood lipid levels may effectively reduce the risk of hypertension.

Objective To investigate the pathological damage to and inflammation of different intestinal segments in a rat model of severe hemorrhage,and to explore the effect of polarization of intestinal macrophage on the pathophysiology of intestinal inflammation.Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups:the sham operation group and hemorrhage group.In the hemorrhage group,40％of the total blood volume was lost in 25-30 minutes,while in the sham operation group,only the femoral artery and vein were intubated without bleeding.The rats were killed at 0,3,6,12 and 24 hours.The entire intestine was isolated quickly,and sections of the intestine were cut at the duodenum,jejunum,ileocecal junction,colon and rectum for histopathological evaluation.ELISA was adopted to determine related inflammation factors while multi-color immunohistochemistry was used to calculate macrophage surface markers.The data was statistically analyzed.Results(1)Compared with the sham group,there was no significant difference in colon histology at 3 h and 6 h,but significant difference was detected in rectum scores only at 24 h.The scores of other intestinal segments were significantly different at each time point.The severity of ileocecal and colonic lesions after bleeding increased with time.The duodenum,jejunum and ileocecum were more critically injured at 3 h than the rectum at 6 h.The injury to the duodenum,jejunum,ileum and colon was much more pronounced than to the rectum at 12 h.(2)The expressions of TNF-α and IL-1β in the rectum were increased significantly at 12 h post operation.The expressions of IL-1β,TNF-α in the jejunum increased obviously at 3 h and 6 h,respectively.(3)Three hours after severe bleeding,the level of macrophages in the jejunum and ileocececal area increased significantly,and the percentage of M1 macrophages was higher.After 6 hours,the proportion of M2 macrophages in the jejunum and M1 macrophages decreased significantly.After 3 hours,the percentage of M1 macrophages in the colon decreased,but that of M2 macrophages increased.The proportion of M2 polarized macrophages in the duodenum and rectum increased at 3 h after severe bleeding but decreased at 6 h.Conclusion Pathological damage to intestinal sections after bleeding varies depending on the time,and is correlated with the inflammatory level of macrophages.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

As an important part of tumor microenvironment, neutrophils are poorly understood due to their spatiotemporal heterogeneity in tumorigenesis. Here we defined, at single-cell resolution, CD44-CXCR2- neutrophils as tumor-specific neutrophils (tsNeus) in both mouse and human gastric cancer (GC). We uncovered a Hippo regulon in neutrophils with unique YAP signature genes (e.g., ICAM1, CD14, EGR1) distinct from those identified in epithelial and/or cancer cells. Importantly, knockout of YAP/TAZ in neutrophils impaired their differentiation into CD54+ tsNeus and reduced their antitumor activity, leading to accelerated GC progression. Moreover, the relative amounts of CD54+ tsNeus were found to be negatively associated with GC progression and positively associated with patient survival. Interestingly, GC patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy had increased numbers of CD54+ tsNeus. Furthermore, pharmacologically enhancing YAP activity selectively activated neutrophils to suppress refractory GC, with no significant inflammation-related side effects. Thus, our work characterized tumor-specific neutrophils in GC and revealed an essential role of YAP/TAZ-CD54 axis in tsNeus, opening a new possibility to develop neutrophil-based antitumor therapeutics.

Objective Based on the gene expression omnibus(GEO)database,bioinformatics methods were employed to analyze the expression characteristics of hypoxia-related differentially expressed genes(HRDEGs)in ischemic stroke,and key genes were screened,to provide important support for a deeper understanding of ischemic stroke.Methods The GSE16561 and GSE58294 datasets were downloaded from the GEO database,and Python software was used for data integration.The Combat method was employed to eliminate batch effects while retaining disease grouping characteristics.Principal component analysis was conducted to reduce dimensionality of the data before and after batch effect removal,and intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC)testing was performed on the ischemic stroke and normal control groups.Gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)and single-sample GSEA were conducted on the merged and batch effects eliminated dataset,with a nominal P-value(NOM P-val)＜0.05 and false discovery rate P-value(FDR P-val)＜0.25 used as criteria to select significantly different gene sets.Differential expression genes between the ischemic stroke samples and normal control samples after merging and eliminating batch effects of the GSE16561 and GSE58294 datasets were identified using R software,with an absolute value of log2 gene expression fold change(FC)≥0.58 and adjusted P-value(Padj)＜0.05 as selection criteria.Intersection with hypoxia-related genes obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI)in the United States yielded the HRDEGs.Gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses were performed on the HRDEGs,and the STRING database was used to construct a protein-protein interaction network of differentially expressed genes.The top 10 key genes were filtered using Cytoscape 3.8 software.Results The ICC analysis results showed excellent consistency in the ischemic stroke and normal control samples after batch effect removal,with ICC values of 0.94 and 0.98 for the GSE16561 and GSE58294datasets,respectively.GSEA results demonstrated significant enrichment of 34 gene sets in the stroke samples in the newly merged and batch effects removed dataset from GSE16561 and GSE58294,leading to the identification of 404 differentially expressed genes(all with Padj＜0.05),including 354 upregulated genes and 50 downregulated genes.Intersection with hypoxia-related genes yielded 64 HRDEGs.GO enrichment analysis indicated significant enrichment of HRDEGs in vesicle lumen,cytoplasmic vesicle lumen,secretory granule lumen,with molecular functions such as amide binding,peptide binding,phospholipid binding,and enzyme inhibitor activity.These genes are primarily involved in the positive regulation of cytokine production,regulation of immune response,response to bacterium-derived molecules,and response to lipopolysaccharide,among other biological processes.KEGG enrichment analysis revealed enrichment of HRDEGs in pathways related to lipid and atherosclerosis,Salmonella infection,neutrophil extracellular trap formation,nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor signaling pathway,protein glycosylation in cancer,tuberculosis,and necroptosis.Based on the protein-protein interaction network,10 key genes were identified,including arginase1(ARG1),caspase1(CASP1),interleukin1 receptor type 1(IL-1R1),integrin subunit alpha M(ITGAM),matrix metalloproteinase9(MMP9),prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2(PTGS2),signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3),Toll-like receptor2(TLR2),TLR4,and TLR8.Conclusion This study has identified 10 key genes associated with ischemic stroke and hypoxia through bioinformatics mining,which maybe provid potential targets for subsequent research and diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestation, pathological types, treatment and prognosis of primary tracheobronchial tumors in children.Methods:We retrospectively studied the primary tracheobronchial tumors patients who diagnosed from May 2009 to Jan 2021 in Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center. The clinical manifestations, pathological types, therapeutic methods and prognosis were analyzed.Results:There were 15 patients identified as the primary tracheobronchial tumors, including synovial sarcoma (1 case), pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor(IMT 4 cases), mucoepidermoid carcinoma(7 cases), infantile hemangioma (1 case), Ewing's sarcoma (1 case). Respiratory symptoms are the most complaint at the time of diagnosis including 15 patients with cough, 2 with hemoptysis, and 1 with dyspnea. Endoscopic treatment of tracheobronchial tumors was performed under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in 1 patient. Sleeve lobectomy was performed in 3 patients, lobectomies in 6, and local tumor resections in 4 patients including 2 patients suffered second surgery due to tumor recurrence.Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of the primary tracheobronchial tumors in children are nonspecific. Complete resection led to excellent outcome.
