As the country with the largest number of new cancer cases and deaths,China faces a serious situation with a large cancer population base,low relative survival rate,and low adherence to cancer screening.Neighboring Japan,which has the longest life expectancy in the world,has a much higher relative survival rate than China,despite having a similarly high cancer rate,due to its well-established system of cancer prevention and control.Being an Asian country,the major prevalent cancers in China and Japan are similar in spectrum and can be referred to more.This article introduces the construction of Japan's cancer life-cycle prevention and control system of"cancer prevention","cancer care",and"coexistence with cancer"starting from the three major goals of Japan's cancer prevention and control program,and focuses on the improvement of cancer screening in Japan and the improvement of cancer survival in China.It also highlights the means and methods used to increase the cancer screening rate in Japan,with a view to providing suggestions for cancer prevention and control in China.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of brexpiprazole in treating acute schizophrenia.Methods Patients with schizophrenia were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.The treatment group was given brexpiprozole 2-4 mg·d-1 orally and the control group was given aripiprazole 10-20 mg·d-1orally,both were treated for 6 weeks.Clinical efficacy of the two groups,the response rate at endpoint,the changes from baseline to endpoint of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS),Clinical Global Impression-Improvement(CGI-S),Personal and Social Performance scale(PSP),PANSS Positive syndrome subscale,PANSS negative syndrome subscale were compared.The incidence of treatment-related adverse events in two groups were compared.Results There were 184 patients in treatment group and 186 patients in control group.After treatment,the response rates of treatment group and control group were 79.50％(140 cases/184 cases)and 82.40％(150 cases/186 cases),the scores of CGI-I of treatment group and control group were(2.00±1.20)and(1.90±1.01),with no significant difference(all P＞0.05).From baseline to Week 6,the mean change of PANSS total score wese(-30.70±16.96)points in treatment group and(-32.20±17.00)points in control group,with no significant difference(P＞0.05).The changes of CGI-S scores in treatment group and control group were(-2.00±1.27)and(-1.90±1.22)points,PSP scores were(18.80±14.77)and(19.20±14.55)points,PANSS positive syndrome scores were(-10.30±5.93)and(-10.80±5.81)points,PANSS negative syndrome scores were(-6.80±5.98)and(-7.30±5.15)points,with no significant difference(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of treatment-related adverse events between the two group(69.00％vs.64.50％,P＞0.05).Conclusion The non-inferiority of Brexpiprazole to aripiprazole was established,with comparable efficacy and acceptability.

The objective of this study was to investigate the protective effect and potential mechanism of action of hemin on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control, bleomycin and bleomycin + hemin groups. Mice in the bleomycin and bleomycin + hemin groups were injected intratracheally with bleomycin to establish the pulmonary fibrosis model.The bleomycin + hemin group mice were injected intraperitoneally with hemin starting 7 days before modeling until the end of Day 21 after modeling. Pathological changes in lung tissue were assessed by HE and Masson staining. Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) levels were determined in lung tissue. Immunohistochemistry was performed to assess the expression of α-SMA and collagen I. The serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were measured via ELISA.Western blotting was used to determine the expression of TGF-β1, SIRT1, PGC-1α and HO-1 and the phosphorylation levels of p38, ERK1/2, JNK, AMPK and NF-κB p65 in lung tissue. Hemin significantly reduced lung indices, increased terminal body weight. It also significantly increased SOD and CAT activities; decreased MDA, IL-6 and TNF-α levels; reduced the levels of α-SMA and collagen I-positive cells; upregulated SIRT1, PGC-1α and HO-1 expression; promoted AMPK phosphorylation; and downregulated TGF-β1 expression and p38, ERK1/2, JNK and NF-κB p65 phosphorylation. Hemin might attenuate oxidative damage and inflammatory responses and reduces extracellular matrix deposition by regulating the expression and phosphorylation of proteins associated with the TGF-β1/MAPK and AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α/HO-1/ NF-κB pathways, thereby alleviating bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks,and to provide a basis for early identification of BPD in twin preterm infants in clinical practice.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks who were admitted to 22 hospitals nationwide from January 2018 to December 2020.According to their conditions,they were divided into group A(both twins had BPD),group B(only one twin had BPD),and group C(neither twin had BPD).The risk factors for BPD in twin preterm infants were analyzed.Further analysis was conducted on group B to investigate the postnatal risk factors for BPD within twins.Results A total of 904 pairs of twins with a gestational age of<34 weeks were included in this study.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group C,birth weight discordance of>25%between the twins was an independent risk factor for BPD in one of the twins(OR=3.370,95%CI:1.500-7.568,P<0.05),and high gestational age at birth was a protective factor against BPD(P<0.05).The conditional logistic regression analysis of group B showed that small-for-gestational-age(SGA)birth was an independent risk factor for BPD in individual twins(OR=5.017,95%CI:1.040-24.190,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of BPD in twin preterm infants is associated with gestational age,birth weight discordance between the twins,and SGA birth.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of children with fungal bloodstream infection(BSI)following chemotherapy for acute leukemia(AL).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 23 children with fungal BSI following chemotherapy for AL in three hospitals in Fujian Province,China,from January 2015 to December 2023.Their clinical features and prognosis were analyzed.Results Among all children following chemotherapy for AL,the incidence rate of fungal BSI was 1.38%(23/1 668).At the time of fungal BSI,87%(20/23)of the children had neutrophil deficiency for more than one week,and all the children presented with fever,while 22%(5/23)of them experienced septic shock.All 23 children exhibited significant increases in C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels.A total of 23 fungal isolates were detected in peripheral blood cultures,with Candida tropicalis being the most common isolate(52%,12/23).Caspofungin or micafungin combined with liposomal amphotericin B had a relatively high response rate(75%,12/16),and the median duration of antifungal therapy was 3.0 months.The overall mortality rate in the patients with fungal BSI was 35%(8/23),and the attributable death rate was 22%(5/23).Conclusions Fungal BSI following chemotherapy in children with AL often occurs in children with persistent neutrophil deficiency and lacks specific clinical manifestations.The children with fungal BSI following chemotherapy for AL experience a prolonged course of antifungal therapy and have a high mortality rate,with Candida tropicalis being the most common pathogen.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect and safety of dexamethasone combined with ulinastatin in pa-tients with acute severe viral myocarditis(ASVMC).Methods:Clinical data of 92 ASVMC patients treated in our hospital from August 2018 to November 2020 were retrospectively collected,and divided into dexamethasone group(n=46)and combined treatment group(n=46,dexamethasone combined with ulinastatin)according to different treatment program.Each group received corresponding medication based on routine therapy for four weeks.Thera-peutic effect,levels of myocardial enzyme spectrum indexes[cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnⅠ),creatine kinase isoenzyme MB(CK-MB),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)]and related indexes of cardiomyocyte apoptosis[soluble factor-related apoptosis(sFas),soluble factor-related apoptosis ligand(sFasL)]before and after treatment,and inci-dence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Results:The total effective rate(91.30％vs.73.91％)of combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of dexamethasone group(P=0.028).Compared with dexamethasone group,there were significant reductions in serum levels of cTnⅠ[(4.38±1.02)ng/ml vs.(1.76±0.24)ng/ml],CK-MB[(29.85±5.30)U/L vs.(20.26±4.18)U/L],LDH[(202.84±16.70)U/L vs.(184.21±12.63)U/L],sFas[(2.82±0.37)ng/L vs.(2.39±0.24)ng/L]and sFasL[(0.16±0.04)ng/L vs.(0.08±0.02)ng/L]in combined treatment group after 4-week treatment(P＜0.001 all).There was no sig-nificant difference in incidence rate of adverse reactions during treatment between two groups(P=0.711).Conclusion:Ulinastatin combined with dexamethasone can further inhibit myocardial cell apoptosis,and promote the improvement of myocardial function with significant therapeutic effect in patients with acute severe viral myocarditis and it's safe.
