ObjectiveTo investigate the mortality and years of life lost of pancreatic cancer in Baoshan District of Shanghai，from 2009 to 2021， and to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of pancreatic cancer in the future. MethodsThe death surveillance data of Baoshan District from 2009 to 2021 were collected from the Shanghai chronic disease surveillance information management system. Crude mortality， standardized mortality，potential years of life lost （PYLL）， potential years of life lost rate （PYLLR） ， average years of potential life lost （AYLL） ， annual percentage change （APC） were calculated to analyze the trend of mortality and life loss of pancreatic cancer. ResultsFrom 2009 to 2021， a total of 2117 deaths of pancreatic cancer were reported in Baoshan District， accounting for 7.05% of all cancer deaths. The average age of the death cases was （71.18±10.97）years. The youngest was 3 years old and the oldest was 96 years old. The death component ratio of pancreatic cancer increased with time （P<0.05）， and the average death age of women was higher than that of men （P<0.05）. The crude mortality of pancreatic cancer was 17.38/105 in Baoshan District from 2009 to 2021， showing a rising tendency （P<0.05） with APC of 3.74%. The standardized mortality of pancreatic cancer was 7.84/105. The crude mortality of pancreatic cancer was 19.71/105 in men and 14.89/105 in women， both showed a tendency towards a rise （P<0.05 ） with APC of 4.44% and 2. 89%， respectively. The crude mortality of pancreatic cancer showed a tendency towards a decline in residents at ages of 45 to 60 years （ P<0.05 ）， with APC of 4.74%. The PYLL and PYLLR of pancreatic cancer were 8 115 person-years and 0.67‰ in Baoshan District from 2009 to 2021， while the AYLL of pancreatic cancer was 3.83 years per person. The PYLL was higher in men than in women. ConclusionThe mortality rate of pancreatic cancer in Baoshan District shows an increasing trend.

ObjectiveTo investigate the epidemiological characteristics of respiratory disease mortality in Baoshan residents during the period of 2009‒2020. MethodsRespiratory disease deaths of Baoshan residents from 2009‒2020 were collected. ICD-10 codes were used to classify the causes of death， and R-4.2.1 was applied for statistical analysis. The average annual percent change （AAPC） of standardized mortality rates of different respiratory diseases were analyzed by using Joinpoint 4.9.0.0. ResultsThe average annual mortality rate of respiratory diseases in Baoshan from 2009 to 2020 was 58.86/105， and the standardized mortality rate was 35.62/105， which was the 3rd leading cause of mortality. The mortality rate of respiratory diseases was higher in men than in women （χ2=46.70， P<0.001）. COPD ranked first among respiratory diseases in Baoshan from 2009 to 2020， followed by pneumonia， asthma and pneumoconiosis in that order. The standardized mortality rate for COPD decreased from 38.66/105 in 2009 to 19.88/105 in 2020 （AAPC=-6.6%， 95%CI： -8.2% to -4.9%， P<0.001）. The standardized mortality rate of asthma decreased from 2.86/105 in 2009 to 1.43/105 in 2020 （AAPC=-5.8%， 95%CI： -8.8% to -2.8%， P<0.01）. The standardized mortality rate of pneumoconiosis decreased from 0.64/105 in 2009 to 0.12/105 in 2020 （AAPC=-7.4%， 95%CI： -13.0% to -1.5%， P<0.05）. The standardized mortality rate for pneumonia decreased from 2.63/105 in 2009 to 0.70/105 in 2020 （AAPC=-6.2%， 95%CI： -12.2% to 0.2%， P=0.056）， but not statistically significant. The annual average mortality rates of COPD， pneumonia and asthma were all highest in January. Crude mortality rates for COPD （χ2=2 669.01， P<0.001）， pneumonia （χ2=217.82， P<0.001）， asthma （χ2=100.09， P<0.001）， pneumoconiosis （χ2=26.46， P<0.001） and all categories of respiratory diseases （χ2=2 995.84， P<0.001） increased with age showed an increasing trend. The crude mortality rates for COPD （χ2=101.69， P<0.001）， pneumonia （χ2=7.39， P<0.01） and asthma （χ2=7.41， P<0.01） were higher in the central than in the northern part of Baoshan District， while the crude mortality rate for COPD （χ2=19.97， P<0.001） was higher in the central than in the southern part.

A cervical cancer tissue-derived decellularized extracellular matrix scaffold for cervical cancer tissue reconstruction in vitro / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#The prepare decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold materials derived from human cervical carcinoma tissues for 3D culture of cervical carcinoma cells.@*METHODS@#Fresh human cervical carcinoma tissues were treated with sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) solution to prepare decellularized ECM scaffolds. The scaffolds were examined for ECM microstructure and residual contents of key ECM components (collagen, glycosaminoglycan, and elastin) and genetic materials by pathological staining and biochemical content analysis. In vitro 3D culture models were established by injecting cultured cervical cancer cells into the prepared ECM scaffolds. The cells in the recellularized scaffolds were compared with those in a conventional 2D culture system for cell behaviors including migration, proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) wsing HE staining, immunohistochemical staining and molecular biological technology analysis. Resistance to 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) of the cells in the two culture systems was tested by analyzing the cell apoptosis rates via flow cytometry.@*RESULTS@#SLES treatment effectively removed cells and genetic materials from human cervical carcinoma tissues but well preserved the microenvironment structure and biological activity of ECM. Compared with the 2D culture system, the 3D culture models significantly promoted proliferation, migration, EMT and 5-Fu resistance of human cervical cancer cells.@*CONCLUSION@#The decellularized ECM scaffolds prepared using human cervical carcinoma tissues provide the basis for construction of in vitro 3D culture models for human cervical cancer cells.

Relations between flexor hallucis longus changes and pes planus in patients with rheumatoid arthritis / 中华骨科杂志

Objective To assess the correlation between tenosynovitis or rupture of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and pes planus in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods The data of 47 RA patients (97 feet) with painful feet was retrospectively analyzed which was collected From February 2008 to June 2011.In accordance with the results of the FHL changes got by ultrasonography,the patients were divided into 3 groups.Group A consisted of those with normal FHL (27 feet).Group B consisted of those with FHL tenosynovitis (40 feet),and Group C eonsisted of those with FHL rupture (27 feet).Load bearing lateral radiographs were taken for all the patients.The correlation study was carried out based on the pes planus-related parameters,such as the measurement of heel pitch angle (HPA) and tarsal and 1st metatarsal angle (TM1).Factors like patients' age and course of disease were also taken into the consideration during the study.Results The mean age of those in group A was 49.9±9.2 years vs.56.2±9.2 years in group B and 54.7±8.0 years in group C.The mean duration was 4.7±2.6 years in Group A vs.16.2±7.4 years in Group B 5°±3.6° in Group C.The mean TM1 was 2.5°±2.2° in Group A vs.6.5°±3.2° in Group B and 11.2°±4.9° in Group C.Significant statistics difference were found among the three groups in these parameters.HPA＜ 20° was found among 6/27 feet in group A,31/40 in group B and 27/27 in group C.TM1 ＞4° was found among 5/27 feet in group A,30/40 in group B and 27/27 in group C.Conclusion FHL changes were common in RA patients and its severitv had positive correlation to pes planus.These changes were affected by age and duration,and could be evaluated effectively by ultrasound.
