RESUMEN
Objective@#To evaluate the burden and to describe the characteristics of spatial distribution caused by malignant tumors among different administrative areas in Guangzhou from 2010- 2013.@*Methods@#Based on data from the Cancer Registry system and population in Guangzhou in 2010- 2013, disability-adjusted life year (DALY) was assessed on the disease burden of cancer, in accordance with the method used in the Global Burden of Disease study.@*Results@#The crude incidence rates of cancer appeared as 256.22/105 in 2010-2011 and 270.04/105 in 2012-2013, with the crude mortality rates as 143.17/105 and 148.01/105, respectively, in Guangzhou. Cancers caused 606 238.95 DALYs in 2010-2011 and 623 763.80 DALYs in 2012-2013 for both sexes and 37.63 and 37.81 person year per 1 000 persons, with the standardized DALY rates as 34.51‰, 34.00‰ respectively. Three administrative districts (Yuexiu, Haizhu and Liwan) were with the largest disease burden of cancers that accounted for 45% of the DALYs for the whole Conghua district, with liver cancer was the leading cancer on DALYs, and tracheal, bronchus and lung cancer ranked the first in the other districts.@*Conclusions@#In Guangzhou, disease burden caused by cancers was both prominently seen in the newly developed urban area and the old districts. It remains an arduous task to continue programs on control and prevention of cancers in this city.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To explore the status of seroepidemiology on hepatitis A, B and C among students and residents aged equal or greater than 18 years in south Xinjiang, and to provide scientific evidence for prevention and control of viral hepatitis.@*Methods@#Uyghur students in four towns and villages were selected by cluster random sampling from Feb to May, 2015, and Uyghur residents aged 18 to 69 years were selected by stratified cluster sampling from May to September, 2016. 4 507 middle and primary Uygur students and 4 833 Uyghur resides equal or greater than 18 years attended this survey. Self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the demographic information. And Elisa test was adopted to detect HAV-IgG, HBsAg, HBsAb and HCV-IgG. Chi-square test was used to calculate the difference on antibody positive rate of three types of hepatitis among the participants.@*Results@#The overall HAV-IgG positive rate was 99.45% (9 289/9 340). The positive rates were 99.70% (4 006/4 018) in male and 99.27% (5 283/5 322) in female (χ2=7.95, P=0.005). The HAV-IgG positive rate among people aged 10 to 14 years was the highest (99.91%, 2 233/2 235), and the difference between the age specific HAV-IgG positive rates was statistical significant (χ2=38.21, P<0.001). The overall HBsAg positive rate was 4.11% (384 cases), with 4.55% (183 cases) for male and 3.78% (201 cases) for female. The HBsAg positive rate among participants 19 to 24 years old was the highest (9.46%, 21/222) and the differences between the age specific HBsAg was statistically significant (χ2=116.22, P<0.001). The HBsAb positive rate was 35.03% (3 272 cases), with 35.59% (1 430 cases) for male and 34.61% (1 842 cases) for female, and the HBsAb positive rate among participants aged 15 to 18 years was the highest, which was 69.12% (696/1 007). The differences between the age specific HBsAb rates appeared statistically significant (χ2=671.80, P<0.001). The overall HCV-IgG positive rate was 0.65%(61 cases). The HCV-IgG positive rate in female was 0.86% (46 cases) and 0.37% (15 cases) in male (χ2=8.51, P=0.004).The HCV-IgG positive rate among participants aged over 70 years was the highest (3.78%,9/238) , and the difference between the age specific HCV-IgG positive rates had statistic significance (χ2=70.30, P<0.001). The HAV-IgG positive rate in hepatitis A vaccinees (100%, 876/876) was higher than that among the non-vaccinees (99.40%, 8 413/8 464) (χ2=4.26, P=0.039). The HBsAb positive rate in hepatitis B vaccinees was 39.32% (1 816/4 619) which was higher than that among the non-vaccinees (30.84%, 1 456/4 721) (χ2=73.68, P<0.001).@*Conclusion@#The positive rate of overall HAV-IgG was high, male and participants aged between 10 to 14 had higher probability to be infected. But the infection rates of hepatitis B and C were low, with the low vaccination rate and the poor protective effectiveness of hepatitis B.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the status of seroepidemiology on hepatitis A,B and C in primary and middle school students in Shufu county,Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China (Xinjiang) and to evaluate the effect of related immunization.Methods Students in four towns and villages were selected by cluster random sampling method.HAV-IgG,HBsAg,HBsAb and HCV-IgG were detected in Feb to May,2015.Results The overall HAV-IgG positive rate was 99.75％,among 4 830 primary and middle school students.The positive rates were seen 99.92％ in boys and 99.57％ in girls,with difference statistically significant (x2=5.798,P=0.016).The overall HBsAg positive rate appeared as 3.02％,with 3.55％ for boys and 2.47％ for girls,with difference statistically significant (x 2=4.782,P=0.029).The difference between age specific HBsAg positive rates also showed statistically significant (x2=71.990,P=0.000).HBsAg positive rate in the students in rural area (3.28％) was higher than that in the students in urban area (1.61％,x2=6.019,P=0.014).HBsAb positive rate was 38.84％,and the differences between the age specific HBsAb positive rates appeared statistically significant (x2=837.699,P=0.000).HBsAg positive rate in students from the urban area (42.36％) was higher than those from the rural area (38.20％,x2=4.598,P=0.032).2 815 students,accounting for 58.28％ of the total students,showed negative on both HBsAg and HBsAb.The overall HCV-IgG positive rate was 0.19％,and all appeared in students fiom the rural areas,with ethnicity solely as Uygur.Conclusions The effect of hepatitis A vaccine was satisfactory in primary and middle school students in Shufu county but quiet a number of the students missed the vaccination.The infection rate of hepatitis C was low.Publicity and health education on hepatitis immunization and control should be revved up.Programs regarding primary and supplementary immunization on hepatitis,should be carried out timely for children of school age.
