Background and purpose:The Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention provides annual updates on cancer occurrence and trends in Shanghai.This study aimed to investigate the cancer incidence and mortality in 201 7 and their trends from 2002 to 2017 in Shanghai. Methods:Data of new cancer diagnoses and deaths from 2002 to 2017 were obtained from the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention population-based cancer registry and Vital Statistics System.Cancer incidence and mortality stratified by year of diagnosis or death,gender and age group were analyzed.Number,proportion,crude rate,age-specific rate,age-standardized rate and others were calculated.The number,proportion and rates of common cancers in different groups were also calculated.Trends in age-standardized rate of incidence and death rates for all cancers combined and for the common cancer types by gender were estimated by joinpoint analysis and characterized by the annual percent change(APC)and average annual percent change(AAPC).Segi's 1960 world standard population was used for calculating age-standardized incidence and mortality. Results:The new cancer cases and deaths were 79 378 and 37 186 in Shanghai in 2017.The crude rate of incidence was 546.55/105,and the age-standardized rate was 246.31/105.The age-standardized rate of incidence was higher among females than among males.The crude rate of mortality was 256.04/1 05,and the age-standardized rate was 88.41/105.The age-standardized rate of mortality was higher among males than among females.The age-specific numbers and rates of incidence and mortality increased with age.The age-specific number and rate of incidence reached the peak at the age groups of 60-64 years and older than 85 years,and those of mortality among males reached the peak at the age groups of 60-64 years and older than 85 years,and those of mortality among females reached the peak at the age groups of older than 85 years,respectively.The sites of top 10 common cancer types sorted by the number of incidence cases among males were lung,colorectum,stomach,prostate,liver,thyroid,pancreas,bladder,kidney and oesophagus,and among females were lung,breast,thyroid,colorectum,stomach,pancreas,liver,brain,central nervous system(CNS),cervix uteri and gallbladder,the sites of those sorted by the number of deaths among males were lung,stomach,colorectum,liver,pancreas,prostate,oesophagus,bladder,lymphoma and gallbladder,among females were lung,colorectum,breast,stomach,pancreas,liver,gallbladder,brain,CNS,ovary and lymphoma.The top 10 common cancer types stratified by gender and the top 5 common cancer types stratified by common age groups merged of incidence and mortality had wide variations.Overall,the age-standardized rates of incidence were stable from 2002 to 2009,and increased 2.88％on average per year from 2009 to 201 7.The age-standardized rates of mortality were stable from 2002 to 2011,and decreased 2.66％on average per year from 2011 to 201 7.The trends differed by gender and cancer type. Conclusion:Lung cancer,colorectal cancer,pancreatic cancer,thyroid cancer,female breast cancer,cervical cancer and male prostate cancer are the most common cancers in Shanghai,the appropriate screening technical scheme should be formulated according to the current situation of malignant tumors in Shanghai,promote cancer opportunistic screening,promote appropriate technologies for intervention and management of cancer patients in the community,reduce the disease burden of malignant tumors.

Objective:To analyze the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and neuronal nuclei (NeuN) antigen in hippocampus based on the depression model of juvenile rats caused by chronic unpredictable stress (CUS), and to explore the effect of electroacupuncture vagus nerve on CUS depression model.Methods:Six juvenile SD rats were selected as the control group (without any stimulation), and the rest were divided into CUS group, pseudo stimulation group, fluoxetine group and electroacupuncture group by random number method after CUS modeling, with 6 rats in each group. Fluoxetine group was given 10 mg/kg fluoxetine intervention; control group and CUS group were given the same amount of normal saline intervention; In the electroacupuncture group, the distal vagus nerve was stimulated after ligation, while in the pseudo stimulation group, only vagus nerve was isolated without electrical stimulation. After 28 d of intervention, the five groups were subjected to Open-field Test and Sucrose Preference Test. Hippocampal neurons were detected by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, and the expressions of GFAP and NeuN in hippocampal were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results:After CUS modeling and before intervention, the number of vertical and horizontal movements, sucrose consumption and sucrose preference in CUS group, pseudo stimulation group, fluoxetine group and electroacupuncture group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.01); After the intervention, the above indexes in CUS group and pseudo stimulation group were still lower than those in the control group (all P<0.01), but the above indexes in fluoxetine group and electroacupuncture group were significantly higher than those in CUS group and pseudo stimulation group (all P<0.01). HE staining showed that the arrangement of hippocampal neurons in CUS group and pseudo stimulation group were loose, and there were cell swelling and pyknosis, which was significantly improved in fluoxetine group and electroacupuncture group. Immunohistochemical results showed that compared with the control group, the expression of GFAP increased and NeuN decreased in the hippocampus of CUS group and pseudo stimulation group (all P<0.01); Compared with CUS group and pseudo stimulation group, the expression of GFAP decreased and NeuN increased in fluoxetine group and electroacupuncture group (all P<0.01). Conclusions:Electroacupuncture of vagus nerve can obviously improve the depression symptoms of juvenile rats, which is similar to fluoxetine, and may be related to regulating the expression of GFAP and Neun in hippocampus.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics and influencing factors of esophageal stenosis after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early esophageal carcinoma.Methods:Patients who underwent ESD in the Digestive Endoscopy Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 2011 to December 2018 were included. The data were obtained from medical records and follow-up. The influencing factors of stenosis were determined by single factor and Cox regression analysis.Results:A total of 654 patients underwent ESD and 79 (12.1%) of them developed postoperative esophageal stenosis. The median time of stenosis development was 27 (17, 43) days. The morphology and lesion circumferential proportion were independent factors for the occurrence of stenosis after ESD. The stenosis incidence of type Ⅱa was 6.601 times (95% CI: 1.518-28.709, P=0.012) compared with that of type Ⅱc. The incidence of stenosis in lesions with 75%-<100% and 100% circumference was 17.408 times (95% CI: 8.009-37.839, P<0.001)and 52.439 times (95% CI: 23.905-115.029, P<0.001) respectively compared with that of patients <75%. Among the 79 patients, 27 had severe stenosis, and the lesion circumferential proportion was an independent factor for stenosis. Compared with the group of lesion circumferential proportion of less than 75%, the incidences of stenosis of lesion circumferential proportion of 75%-<100% and 100% were 7.775 (95% CI: 1.977-30.577, P=0.003) and 70.062 (95% CI: 19.879-246.926, P<0.001) times respectively. Conclusion:The morphology and lesion circumferential proportion are two independent factors for the occurrence of esophageal stenosis after ESD. Additionally, lesion circumferential proportion is an independent factor for the occurrence of severe esophageal stenosis after ESD.

Methods: From March 2016 to December 2017, 120 patients with HP related gastric ulcer who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the digestive department of Linxi Hospital of Kailuan general hospital.They were divided into observation group and control group with random number table method, 60 cases in each group.The control group was given lansoprazole+ amoxicillin+ furazolidone triple therapy.On this basis, the observation group was added with magnesium aluminum carbonate.The clinical efficacy, clearance rate of Helicobacter pylori, the level of VEGF and EGF in gastric juice were compared between the two groups. Results: The total clinical effective rate of the observation group was 95.0% (57/60), which was significantly higher than that of the control group (83.3%) (50/60). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ²=4.23, P<0.05). The comprehensive symptom scores of the two groups decreased significantly with the treatment time (observation group: before treatment(9.6±2.2), treatment 2 weeks (5.5±1.5), treatment 4 weeks (4.3±1.2), treatment 6 weeks (3.1±0.8), control group (9.4±2.5), treatment 2 weeks (7.2±1.3), treatment 4 weeks (6.6±1.4), treatment 6 weeks (4.5±1.0)), and observation group syndrome scores There was significant difference between the two groups (F_inter-group=23.54, P_inter-group<0.05; F_intra-group=87.62, P_intra-group<0.05; F_interaction=8.47, P_interaction<0.05). After treatment, VEGF level in gastric juice of the two groups increased significantly after treatment.In the observation group( (429.4±128.5) pg/ml )was significantly higher than that in the control group( (380.3±137.2) pg/ml, t=2.02, P<0.05). The EGF level in gastric juice of the two groups increased significantly after treatment.In the observation group( (658.1±164.0) pg/ml )was significantly higher than that in the control group ((583.5±135.1) pg/ml, t=2.72, P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions was 6.7% (4/60) in the observation group and 8.3% (5/60) in the control group.There was no significant difference (χ²=0.12, P>0.05). Conclusion The treatment of Helicobacter pylori related gastric ulcer with the combination of aluminum carbonate, lansoprazole, amoxicillin and furazolidone can obviously improve the clinical symptoms and promote the regeneration of ulcer mucosa.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological features and lymph node metastases characteristics of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 1 321 ICC patients who were admitted to 12 hospitals from April 2007 to November 2017 were collected,including 182 in the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital of the Second Military Medical University,173 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,156 in the First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University (Third Military Medical University),139 in the Cancer Center of Sun Yatsen University,128 in the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University,113 in the Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine,109 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University,84 in the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital,65 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,62 in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College,58 in the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School and 52 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine.Treatment planning was respectively determined by comprehensive hospitals according to clinical features and results of related examinations.Surgical procedures

clinicopathological features and primary tumor location and diameter;(3) diagnosis of lymph node dissection and metastases;(4) relationship between clinicopathological features and lymph node metastases.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as x±s,and comparison between groups was done by the t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Comparison of count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results (1) Laboratory examination and treatment situations:of 1 321 patients,cases and percentages of positive hepatitis B virus (HBV),positive serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) (＞ 20 μg/L),positive serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) (＞ 5 μg/L),positive serum alanine transaminase (ALT) (＞75 U/L),positive serum CA19-9 (＞37 U/mL) and positive serum total bilirubin (TBil) (＞20 μmol/L) were respectively 202,80,329,207,590,300 and 15.586％ (202/1 296),7.339％(80/1 090),26.299％ (329/1 251),16.587％ (207/1 248),49.789％(590/1 185),24.000％ (300/1 250).Of 1 321 patients,1 206 underwent surgery,including 904 with hepatectomy,193 with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE),72 with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD),3 with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP),3 with PTBD + ERCP and 31 with other treatments;115 had missing registration of surgical procedures.(2) Relationship between clinicopathological features and primary tumor location and diameter:① Relationship between clinicopathological features and primary tumor location:cases with CA19-9 level ≤ 37 U/mL,38-200 U/mL and ＞ 200 U/mL were respectively 227,91,146 with primary tumor located in left liver and 282,134,137 with primary tumor located in right liver.Cases combined with hepatitis and intrahepatic bile duct stone were respectively 67,73 with primary tumor in left liver and 111,47 with primary tumor in right liver,with statistically significant differences in above indictors (x2 =6.710,5.656,12.534,P＜0.05).The results of further analysis showed that incidence age of ICC was (63± 10)years old in patients with hepatitis and (59± 10) years old in patients without hepatitis,with statistically significant differences (t =4.840,P＜0.05).② Relationship between clinicopathological features and primary tumor diameter:cases with primary tumor diameter ≤ 3 cm,with 3 cm ＜ primary tumor diameter ≤ 5 cm and with primary tumor diameter ＞ 5 cm were respectively 159,250,229 with CEA level ≤ 5 pg/L and 40,65,95 with CEA level ＞ 5 μg/L and 165,258,286 with ALT level ≤ 75 U/L and 34,57,36 with ALT level ＞ 75 U/L and 148,242,281 with TBil level ≤ 20 μmol/L and 51,73,43 with TBil level ＞ 20 μmol/L,and 37,70 and 131 patients had satellite loci of tumor,with statistically significant differences in above indictors (x2=8.669,6.637,15.129,34.746,P＜0.05).(3) Diagnosis of lymph node dissection and metastases:of 904 patients with hepatectomy,346 received lymph node dissection,total number,number in each patient and median number of lymph node dissected were respectively 1 894.0,5.5 and 4.0 (range,1.0-26.0);157 had lymph node metastases,with a rate of lymph node metastasis of 45.376％ (157/346),number and number in each patient of positive lymph node were respectively 393.0 and 2.5.Of 346 patients with lymph node dissection,114 had lymph node metastasis by preoperative imaging examination,postoperative pathological examinations confirmed 64 with lymph node metastasis and 50 without lymph node metastasis;232 didn't have lymph node metastasis by preoperative imaging examination,postoperative pathological examinations confirmed 93 with lymph node metastasis and 139 without lymph node metastasis.The sensitivity,specificity and diagnostic accuracy by imaging examination were respectively 40.8％,73.5％ and 58.7％.(4) Relationship between clinicopathological characteristics and lymph node metastases:lymph node metastasis rate was respectively 51.397％ (92/179) in patients with primary tumor located in left liver,39.103％ (61/156) in patients with primary tumor located in right liver,34.615％(18/52) in patients with primary tumor diameter ≤ 3 cm,42.500％(51/120) in patients with 3 cm ＜ primary tumor diameter ≤ 5 cm,52.980％(80/151) in patients with primary tumor diameter ＞ 5 cm,48.790％(121/248) in patients with CEA ≤ 5 μg/L,59.302％ (51/86) in patients with CEA ＞ 5 μg/L,40.234％ (103/256) in patients with TBil ≤ 20 μmol/L,35.106％ (33/94) in patients with TBil ＞ 20 μmol/L,with statistically significant differences in above indictors (x2 =5.078,6.262,9.456,5.156,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The related etiological factors may be different due to different primary location of ICC.Primary tumor in left liver is significantly associated with intrahepatic bile duct stone of left liver,and primary tumor in right liver is associated with combined hepatitis,while combined hepatitis could lead early occurrence of ICC.At present,there is a low rate of lymph node dissection in ICC patients and a high lymph node metastasis rate in patients receiving lymph node dissection.Lymph node metastasis is associated with primary tumor location and diameter,levels of CEA and TBil.Lymph node metastasis rate in left liver is higher than that in right liver,and is getting higher with increased primary tumor diameter.

Objective To analyze the role of telehealth?based dialysis registration systems in real?time and dynamic reflection of renal anemia in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and discuss the prospect of its application in dialysis registration management. Methods The Red China project was to build up a dialysis registration system based on the WeChat mobile terminal platform. Demographic and baseline laboratory parameters such as age, gender, primary disease, dialysis age, creatinine were recorded in this system. Hemoglobin (Hb) level was monthly recorded. The platform generated Hb statistics report for each HD center monthly, including the detection rate, target rate and the distribution level of Hb, and released it to physicians through the WeChat terminal of mobile phone. After that, physicians could change the treatment of anemia individually on basis of this report. Here the demographic and baseline laboratory parameters, the detection rate, target rate, the average level and the distribution of Hb from June 2015 to October 2017 after the project launched were analyzed. Results From June 2015 to October 2017, 8392 maintenance HD patients from 28 HD centers in Shanghai were enrolled, of whom 5059(60.3％) were male.The average rate age was (60.5 ± 13.7) years old. Baseline average Hb was (108.3±16.0) g/L. Baseline detection rate and target rate were 54.2％and 47.5％, respectively. After 28 months follow?up, the detection rate of Hb increased from 54.2％ to 73.6％ (P<0.001), the target rate of Hb increased from 47.5％ to 56.1％ (P<0.001), and the level of average Hb rose from (108.3±16.0) g/L to (110.7±16.0) g/L. The difference between average Hb in two consecutive months was less than 1.3 g/L. Conclusions The telehealth?based dialysis registration system can timely report the anemia situation of HD patients, which may improve the awareness rate of anemia, the degree of attention and the compliance of anemia monitoring, so as to improve the detection rate and target rate of Hb and reduce the fluctuation of Hb, which helps to maintain the HD patients to correct anemia in a timely, stable and long?term way. The telehealth?based dialysis registration system, as an improved mode of dialysis registration is a promising way for long?term management of renal anemia in dialysis patients.

Objective    To evaluate the strategy of chemoradiotherapy following endoscopic R0 resection for esophageal cancer in M3-T1b stage. Methods    There were 45 esophageal cancer patients with M3-T1b stage with endoscopic R0 resection followed by additional chemoradiotherapy from ECETC (Esophageal Cancer Endoscopic Therapy Consortium) as a trial group with 34 males and 11 females at age of 61.37±7.14 years. There were 90 patients with esophagectomy from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center as a control group with 63 males and 27 females at age of 61.04±8.17 years. Propensity score match (1:2) was used to balance the factors: gender, age, position, depth of invasion and lymphovascular invasion (LVI), which may influence the outcomes. Overall survival (OS) rate, relapse free survival (RFS) rate, and local recurrence rate were compared between the two groups. Result    There was no statistical difference (HR=2.66 with 95%CI 0.87 to 8.11, P=0.179) in terms of OS rate between the two groups. One, two and three years overall survival rate of patients in the control group was 93%, 86%, and 84%, respectively. Nobody died in the trial group within 3 years after surgery. The RFS rate between the two groups didn’t significantly differ (HR=1.48, 95% CI 0.66 to 3.33, P=0.389). One, two and three years RFS rate of patients in the contorl group was 87%, 78%, and 76%, respectively, while 97%, 93%, and 73% in the trial group, respectively. The local recurrence rates between the two groups didn’t significantly differ either ( HR=0.53，95%CI 0.13 to 2.18, P=0.314). One, two and three years local recurrence rate of patients in the control group was 5%, 6% and 6%, respectively, while 0%, 0% and 21% in the trial group, respectively. Conclusion    Similar outcomes are found regarding OS, RFS and local recurrence rates between the two groups. The strategy of endoscopic R0 resection followed by additional chemoradiotherapy has prospect for the treatment of esophageal cancer in M3-T1b stage. And this kind of therapy may be provided for those with risk factors or can not tolerate surgery.

Objective To compare the prevalence and correlation factors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in urban and rural areas in Minhang district of Shanghai through the social economic and clinical data of the elderly population.Methods Jiangchuan Street and Pujiang town were randomly selected to represent the urban and rural population in Minhang district of Shanghai,respectively.Based on the over-60-year old people health examination program,6151 objectives with complete clinical-epidemiological data and bio-chemical index were investigated.The prevalence of CKD in urban and rural areas was compared,and the correlation factors for the urban and rural CKD were evaluated by multiple logistic regression analysis.Results (1) The survey objectives with an average age of (69.57+7.04) years,including 4345 cases of the city residents and 1806 cases of rural residents,were enrolled.The age structures of urban and rural showed differences,population over 80 years old account for 13.1％ of the rural total,significantly higher than 7.4％ in the urban population (P ＜ 0.001).(2) The prevalence rates of diabetes,hyperuricemia,hyperlipidemia and hyperlipidemia in urban residents were higher than those in rural residents,which were 26.4％ vs 13.7％,9.9％ vs 2.3％,53.7％ vs 37.4％,51.4％ vs 15.6％ (all P＜ 0.01).The awareness rates of kidney disease and hyperlipidemia showed significant differences in urban and rural areas,which were 32.9％ vs 44.2％,84.6％ vs 62.8％ (all P ＜ 0.01).Compared with those in rural areas,the treatment rates of hypertension and high blood lipids in urban residents were increased (all P ＜ 0.01).(3) The prevalence of CKD was 23.4％.Female CKD prevalence was higher than male,respectively 26.3％ and 18.5％ (P ＜ 0.01).In urban CKD prevalence was 22.2％,lower than 25.2％ in rural.The prevalence rate of hematuria in urban areas was lower than in rural areas,but the prevalence rate of decline in renal function was higher (all P ＜ 0.05).With the increase of age,the prevalence rate of CKD was increased (P ＜ 0.01).(4) Age (OR=1.072),smoking history (OR=1.543),previous history of kidney disease (OR=1.351),diabetes (OR=1.373),hyperuricemia (OR=2.498),obesity (OR=1.364),history of interventional therapy (OR=1.896) had positive correlation with CKD in city elderly population,while the higher education (OR=0.676,OR=0.604) and drinking (OR=0.585) had negative correlation (all P ＜ 0.05).Age (OR=1.032),female (OR=1.860) had positive correlation with CKD in rural elderly population (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions CKD has been a common chronic progressive disease of the aged in Minhang district.The prevalence of CKD is higher in urban areas than in rural.Age is a common factor for CKD in urban and rural.Previous smoking,history of kidney disease,diabetes,hyperuricemia,obesity,history of interventional therapy,education and drinking have correlation with urban CKD patients.Female has correlation with rural CKD population.

Objective To observe the effect of spleen-warming and kidney-tonifying therapy on Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway of cerebral infarction sequelae patients. Methods A total of 60 cerebral infarction sequelae patients with spleen and kidney(yang) deficiency were divided into control group and treatment group, 30 cases in each group. The two groups were given function rehabilitation training following by the theory of modern rehabilitation medicine, and additionally the treatment group was treated with spleen-warming and kidney-tonifying herbs orally. The treatment period for the two groups averaged 3 months. Before and after treatment, the scores of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms and signs, peripheral blood TLR4 mRNA expression level, and the inflammation-related factors in the two groups were observed, and the observation parameters were compared with 30 healthy volunteers. Meanwhile, the changes of modern rehabilitation evaluation indexes were also evaluated before and after treatment. Results (1) After treatment, the Fugl-Meyer scores for motor function and Modified Barthel Index(MBI) scores for activities of daily living in the treatment group were obviously increased(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 compared with those before treatment); the MBI scores in the control group was much increased(P < 0.05 compared with those before treatment), but the Fugl -Meyer scores only showed an increasing trend(P > 0.05). (2) After treatment, the predominant symptoms and signs of hemiplegia, facial distortion and dysphasia in the two groups were much improved(P < 0.01 compared with those before treatment), and the improvement in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group(P < 0.05). The control group had no significant effect on relieving the symptoms and signs of dizziness and blurred vision, numbness of limbs, spontaneous sweating, shortness of breath and weakness, and darkish tongue(P > 0.05 compared with those before treatment); the treatment group had obvious effect on the above symptoms and signs, and the effect was superior to that in the control group(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).(3) For the inflammation-related factors, tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α) level in the treatment group was much decreased and even arrived to the normal level(P > 0.05), and TNF-α level in the control group was decreased but did not arrive to the normal level(P < 0.05); levels of interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6 and TLR4 mRNA in the two groups were decreased but did not arrive to the normal(P < 0.01), and the decrease in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). (4) During the treatment period, no obvious adverse effect was found in the two groups. Conclusion Oral use of spleen -warming and kidney –tonifying Chinese medicine combined with modern rehabilitation therapy is effective for the treatment of the sequelae of cerebral infarction patients by relieving the clinical TCM symptoms, and one of the therapeutic mechanisms is probably related with the TLR4 signaling pathway through regulating the expression of inflammatory factors.
