Methods: Data from the Beijing Cancer Registry (BCR), which covered 12 million residents and 16 administrative regions in Beijing, were checked and evaluated on basis of the criteria of data quality from the National Central Cancer Registry (NCCR) of China. Incidences were calculated stratified by cancer type, sex, areas (urban/rural), and age. The Chinese census population in 1982 and the world Segi's population were used for calculating the age-standardized incidences. Results: A total of 177,101 new cancer cases were diagnosed in Beijing between 2008 and 2012. The crude incidence rate (CR) of all cancers was 282.64/100,000 (290.71/100,000 in males and 274.45/100,000 in females). The age-standardized rates by Chinese standard population (ASR-China) and by world standard population (ASR-world) were 124.46/100,000 and 161.18/100,000, respectivel)a Female breast cancer was the most common cancer, followed by lung cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, and stomach cancer, with the CR of 59.87/100,000, 59.21/100,000, 32.49/100,000, 19.81/100,000 and 17.96/100,000, respectively. In urban areas, female breast cancer (68.50/100,000) was still the most common cancer, followed by lung cancer (61.23/100,000), colorectal cancer (37.23/100,000), prostate cancer (20.49/100,000) and stomach cancer (20.07/100,000). In rural areas, lung cancer (55.94/100,000) was the most common cancer, followed by female breast cancer (45.87/100,000), colorectal cancer (24.77/100,000), liver cancer (20.68/100,000) and stomach cancer (14.52/100,000). Great changes of the cancer spectrum were found from the period of 1998-1999 to the period of2011-2012 in Beijing. Conclusions: The cancer burden in Beijing was heavier than the national average level. Cancer prevention and control strategies, especially for lung, colorectal, prostate and female thyroid cancers, should be enhanced.展开更多

Methods: A total of 1,274 cases with childhood cancer in Beijing from 2000 to 2009 were included in the study. All rates were age-standardized using the direct method to the world standard population and expressed per million person-years. Incidence trends were characterized by calculating annual percent change (APC) usingJoinpoint Regression Program. Results: The crude incidence rate was 106.47 per million [age-standardized rate (ASR) 113.34] between 2000 and 2009 in Beijing with the most common diagnoses, leukemia (N=505, 39.64%, ASR 45.20), followed by central nervous system (CNS) tumors (N=228, 17.90%, ASR 19.28) and lyrnphoma (N=91, 7.14%, ASR 6.97). The incidence for all childhood cancers combined has increased during the study period, with an APC of 5.84% [95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.0-10.9] after adjusted by world population. The ASR of all combined cancers in boys showed a slight, but no significant increase, with an APC of 5.33 % (95 % CI: -0.6- 11.6); for girls, the trends increased significantly, with an APC of 6.54% (95% CI: 1.5-11.8). Conclusions: The incidence rate of childhood cancer in Beijing was higher than the average level of China and lower than that of western countries. The incidence trends of childhood cancer, especially leukemia among girls showed a significantly increase from 2000 to 2009. While among boys, no substantially change was seen during the observed time period. Some sex-specific trends by subcategories and trends of major cancers in different age groups by cancer site merit further investigation.展开更多

With three-dimensional(3 D) beamforming transmission applied for cellular users(CUEs), an approximation of the interference to signal ratio for CUEs is derived, and a coordination strategy is proposed to mitigate the interference from D2 D pairs to CUEs. Based on the lower bound of the interference to signal ratio for D2 D pairs, we propose coordination strategies for D2 D pairs to mitigate the interference caused by base station(BS) and the interference between D2 D pairs. The proposed strategies require only some statistical channel state information(CSI) of each user and the reduced-dimensional effective CSI of a few CUEs and D2 D pairs. Simulation results show that the proposed coordination strategy performs well in terms of achieving good tradeoff between the achievable rate of CUEs and D2 D pairs.展开更多

Previous studies have shown that CaSRs induce apoptosis in isolated adult rat heart and in normal neonatal rat cardiomyocytes by G-protein-PLC-IP3 signaling transduction. However, little knowledge is presently available concerning the role of CaSRs in the apoptosis induced by ischemia and reperfusion in neonatal cardiomyocytes. Methods: Primary neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes were incubated in ischemiamimetic solution for 2 h, and then re-incubated in normal culture medium for 24 h to establish a model of simu- lated ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase- mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The expression of CaSRs mRNA was detected by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In addition, the expressions of caspase-3 and Bcl-2 were analyzed by western blot. Results: The simulated I/R enhanced the expression of CaSRs and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. GdCl3, a specific activator of CaSRs, further increased the expression of CaSRs and cardiomyocyte apoptosis, along with up-regulation of caspase-3 and down-regulation of Bcl-2. Conclusion: CaSRs are associated with UR injury and apoptosis in neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes via suppressing Bcl-2 and promoting caspase-3 expression.展开更多

In rural areas, lung cancer (55.94/100,000) was the most common cancer, followed by female breast cancer (45.87/100,000), colorectal cancer (24.77/100,000), liver cancer (20.68/100,000) and stomach cancer (14.52/100,000). Great changes of the cancer spectrum were found from the period of 1998-1999 to the period of2011-2012 in Beijing. Conclusions: The cancer burden in Beijing was heavier than the national average level. Cancer prevention and control strategies, especially for lung, colorectal, prostate and female thyroid cancers, should be enhanced.
文摘Objective: To investigate the characteristics and incidence trends of childhood cancer in Beijing, China, from 2000 to 2009. Methods: A total of 1,274 cases with childhood cancer in Beijing from 2000 to 2009 were included in the study. All rates were age-standardized using the direct method to the world standard population and expressed per million person-years. Incidence trends were characterized by calculating annual percent change (APC) usingJoinpoint Regression Program. Results: The crude incidence rate was 106.47 per million [age-standardized rate (ASR) 113.34] between 2000 and 2009 in Beijing with the most common diagnoses, leukemia (N=505, 39.64%, ASR 45.20), followed by central nervous system (CNS) tumors (N=228, 17.90%, ASR 19.28) and lyrnphoma (N=91, 7.14%, ASR 6.97). The incidence for all childhood cancers combined has increased during the study period, with an APC of 5.84% [95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.0-10.9] after adjusted by world population. The ASR of all combined cancers in boys showed a slight, but no significant increase, with an APC of 5.33 % (95 % CI: -0.6- 11.6); for girls, the trends increased significantly, with an APC of 6.54% (95% CI: 1.5-11.8). Conclusions: The incidence rate of childhood cancer in Beijing was higher than the average level of China and lower than that of western countries. The incidence trends of childhood cancer, especially leukemia among girls showed a significantly increase from 2000 to 2009. While among boys, no substantially change was seen during the observed time period. Some sex-specific trends by subcategories and trends of major cancers in different age groups by cancer site merit further investigation.

文摘In this paper, we investigate the interference coordination for downlink full-dimension multiple-input multiple-output(FD-MIMO) systems with device-to-device(D2 D) communications underlaying. With three-dimensional(3 D) beamforming transmission applied for cellular users(CUEs), an approximation of the interference to signal ratio for CUEs is derived, and a coordination strategy is proposed to mitigate the interference from D2 D pairs to CUEs. Based on the lower bound of the interference to signal ratio for D2 D pairs, we propose coordination strategies for D2 D pairs to mitigate the interference caused by base station(BS) and the interference between D2 D pairs. The proposed strategies require only some statistical channel state information(CSI) of each user and the reduced-dimensional effective CSI of a few CUEs and D2 D pairs. Simulation results show that the proposed coordination strategy performs well in terms of achieving good tradeoff between the achievable rate of CUEs and D2 D pairs.

文摘Objective: Calcium-sensing receptors (CaSRs) are G-protein coupled receptors which maintain systemic calcium homeostasis and participate in hormone secretion, activation of ion channels, cell apoptosis, proliferation, and differentiation. Previous studies have shown that CaSRs induce apoptosis in isolated adult rat heart and in normal neonatal rat cardiomyocytes by G-protein-PLC-IP3 signaling transduction. However, little knowledge is presently available concerning the role of CaSRs in the apoptosis induced by ischemia and reperfusion in neonatal cardiomyocytes. Methods: Primary neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes were incubated in ischemiamimetic solution for 2 h, and then re-incubated in normal culture medium for 24 h to establish a model of simu- lated ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase- mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The expression of CaSRs mRNA was detected by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In addition, the expressions of caspase-3 and Bcl-2 were analyzed by western blot. Results: The simulated I/R enhanced the expression of CaSRs and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. GdCl3, a specific activator of CaSRs, further increased the expression of CaSRs and cardiomyocyte apoptosis, along with up-regulation of caspase-3 and down-regulation of Bcl-2. Conclusion: CaSRs are associated with UR injury and apoptosis in neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes via suppressing Bcl-2 and promoting caspase-3 expression.

文摘Objective:The accurate prediction of tumor response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy(nCRT)remains challenging.Few studies have investigated pathologic complete response(ypCR)prediction in patients with residual flat mucosal lesions after treatment.This study aimed to identify variables for predicting ypCR in patients with residual flat mucosal lesions after nCRT for locally advanced rectal cancer(LARC).Methods:Data of patients with residual flat mucosal lesions after nCRT who underwent radical resection between 2009 and 2015 were retrospectively collected from the LARC database at Peking University Cancer Hospital.Univariate and multivariate analyses of the association between clinicopathological factors and ypCR were performed,and a nomogram was constructed by incorporating the significant predictors.Results:Of the 246 patients with residual flat mucosal lesions included in the final analysis,56(22.8%)had ypCR.Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that pretreatment cT stage(pre-cT)≤T2(P=0.016),magnetic resonance tumor regression grade(MR-TRG)1-3(P=0.001)and residual mucosal lesion depth=0 mm(P<0.001)were associated with a higher rate of ypCR.A nomogram was developed with a concordance index(C-index)of0.759 and the calibration curve showed that the nomogram model had good predictive consistency.The follow-up time ranged from 3.0 to 113.3 months,with a median follow-up time of 63.77 months.The multivariate Cox regression model showed that the four variables in the nomogram model were not risk factors for disease-free survival(DFS)or overall survival(OS).Conclusions:Completely flat mucosa,early cT stage and good MR-TRG were predictive factors for ypCR instead of DFS or OS in patients with LARC with residual flat mucosal lesions after nCRT.Endoscopic mucosal re-evaluation before surgery is important,as it may contribute to decision-making and facilitate nonoperative management or organ preservation.

文摘Aurelia spp.ephyrae have been reported to form blooms in sea cucumber aquaculture ponds in the Bohai and Yellow Seas.To identify the species,we carried out a genetic analysis of Aurelia spp.ephyrae and medusae based on mitochondrial 16 S rRNA gene.Samples offour Aurelia sp.ephyrae populations were collected in sea cucumber aquaculture ponds and samples offour Aurelia sp.medusae populations were collected in coastal waters.Using a BLASTn search,we found that both the ephyrae collected in the aquaculture ponds and medusae collected in coastal waters belong to Aurelia coerulea.Seventeen haplotypes were recovered from the 16 S rRNA gene.The overall haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity of the 166 A.coerulea individuals were 0.686%and 0.329%,respectively,indicating high haplotype diversity and low nucleotide diversity.Moreover,the haplotype diversity of ephyrae populations were generally lower than that of medusae populations with close sampling points.The genetic differentiation between ephyrae populations collected in the sea cucumber aquaculture ponds and A.coerulea medusae collected in coastal waters was not significant,suggesting the ephyrae populations in the sea cucumber culture ponds were part of the same genetic group as the medusae populations in the coastal waters.Phylogeographic analysis of the 16 S rRNA region revealed that there was no significant correlation between the haplotypes and the geographic distribution of populations.Pairwise fixation index values showed significant genetic differentiation and limited gene flow between A.coerulea population of Weifang and other locations.

文摘Dietary studies of polyps and ephyrae are important to understand the formation and magnitude of jellyfish blooms and provide important insights into the marine food web.However,the diet of polyps and ephyrae in situ is largely unknown.Here,prey species of the polyps and ephyrae of the moon jellyfish Aurelia coerulea in situ were identified using high-throughput DNA sequencing techniques.The results show that A.coerulea polyps and ephyrae consume a variety of prey items.The polyps consume both planktonic and benthic prey,including hydromedusae,copepods,ciliates,polychaetes,stauromedusae,and phytoplankton.A.coerulea ephyrae mainly feed on copepods and hydromedusae.Gelatinous zooplankton,including Rathkea octopunctata and Sarsia tubulosa,were frequently found as part of the diet of A.coerulea polyps and ephyrae.The utilization of highthroughput sequencing technique is a useful tool for studying the diet of polyps and ephyrae in the field,complementing the traditional techniques towards a better understanding of the complex role of gelatinous animals in marine ecosystems.

文摘Bacteria communities in cnidarian jellyfi sh can be harmful to many important aquaculture species,as they can be key vectors of bacterial pathogens.However,our knowledge of bacterial communities associated with jellyfi sh in culture ponds and their potential roles in the regulation of aquaculture species remains unclear.In this study,sequencing based on the bacterial 16S rRNA gene was used to investigate the composition and variation of the bacterial communities associated with hydromedusa Gonionemus vertens in sea cucumber culture ponds and natural marine environment.The associated bacterial communities of G.vertens from the culture ponds in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea had signifi cantly diff erent compositions,when compared with those from ambient seawater environment.Furthermore,bacterial communities associated with G.vertens had similar diversity and composition in culture ponds and natural marine environment in the Yellow Sea.There were 31 unique bacterial biomarkers identifi ed in three locations.The major communities were highly abundant in Kiloniellales,Octadecabacter,Polynucleobacter,and Polaribacter,and are related to the environmental information processing.Pathogen candidates such as Vibrionales and Chlamydiales had notably low relative abundances(<1%).The venom of the jellyfi sh was considered responsible for damage to the aquaculture.This study provides important data to help assess the impact of cnidarians-associated bacterial communities on pond aquaculture and the infl uences on material cycling and energy fl ow in marine ecosystems.

文摘The seasonal changes in dissolved organic matter(DOM),and its correlation with the release of internal nutrients during the annual cycle of cyanobacteria in the eutrophic Lake Chaohu,China,were investigated from four sampling periods between November 2020 and July 2021.The DOM fluorescence components were identified as protein-like C1,microbial humic-like C2,and terrestrial humic-like C3.The highest total fluorescence intensity(FT)of DOM in sediments during the incubation stage is due to the decomposition and degradation of cyanobacteria remains.The lowest humification of DOM and the highest proportion of C1 in waters during the initial cyanobacterial growth indicate that fresh algae are the main source.The highest molecular weight of DOM and FT of the C2 in sediments during cyanobacterial outbreaks indicate the concurrent deposition of undegraded cyanobacterial remains and microbial degradation.The components of DOM are affected mainly by the dissolved total phosphorus in waters,while the temperature drives the annual cycle of cyanobacteria.The decreasing C1 in sediments and increasing nutrients in waters from the cyanobacterial incubation to outbreak indicate that mineralization of algal organic matter contributes importantly to the release of internal nutrients,with the strongest release of phosphorus observed during the early growth of cyanobacteria.The humic-like C2 and C3 components could also affect the dynamics of internal phosphorus through the formation of organic colloids and organic–inorganic ligands.The results show that the degradation of DOM leads to nutrients release and thus supports the continuous growth of cyanobacteria in eutrophic Lake Chaohu.
