Methods: A total of 500 cases of the health check-up population were selected for data study. Surveyed showed that 19 cases of lung cancer were grouped as the lung cancer group and the remaining 481 cases made up the control group, and the risk factors were analyzed. Results: Among men, there was a significant proportion of individuals aged 60-69 years old, and women aged 30-39 years old. Additionally, individuals aged 60 and above were at increased risk of developing lung cancer. The results of the multifactorial analysis were that the risk factors affecting the detection of lung cancer in healthy people were smoking history, family history of lung cancer, secondhand smoke, history of respiratory diseases, psychosomatic factors, living environment, and kitchen fumes. Conclusion: People over 60 years of age were prone to early lung cancer, followed by individuals aged 30-39 years. It is important to identify the risk factors of lung cancer to strengthen the screening of high-risk groups for early detection and treatment.展开更多

Our objective was to investigate the association among XRCC1 (Arg399Gln and Arg194Trp), XRCC3 (Thr241Met), XPD-ERCC2 (Lys751Gln), APE1 (Asp241Glu), PARP-ADPRT (Val762Ala) DNA repair gene polymorphisms and lung cancer in Turkish population. Materials and Methods: Our patient group consists of 90 patients with lung cancer and the control group had 100 healthy individuals all of those smoking. DNA was extracted using the whole blood samples. PCR- RFLP technique was used to investigate the polymorphisms on target genes. Results: There was no significant difference in the genotype distributions of XPD Lys751Gln, XRCC1 Arg194Trp, XRCC3 Thr241Met, APE1 Asp241Glu between lung cancer patients and controls for each polymorphism (p > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference between the genotype distributions of XRCC1 Arg399Gln, and PARP Val762Ala in patients and the control group (p > 0.05). Discussion: Only the polymorphisms of XRCC1 codon 399 and PARP Val762Ala alleles are associated with the risk of lung cancer. Other genotypes were not related to lung cancer.展开更多

Methods: In total, 61,480 men aged 40-74 years from 2002 to 2006 and 74,941 women aged 40-70 years from 1997 to 2000 were recruited to undergo baseline surveys in urban Shanghai, with response rates of 74.0% and 92.3%, respectively. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of deaths associated with cigarette smoking. PARs and 95 % CIs for deaths were estimated from smoking exposure rates and the estimated RRs. Results: Cigarette smoking was responsible for 23.9% (95% CI: 19.4-28.3%) and 2.4% (95% Ch 1.6- 3.2%) of all deaths in men and women, respectively, in our study population. Respiratory disease had the highest PAR in men [37.5% (95% CI: 21.5-51.6%)], followed by cancer [31.3% (95% Ch 24.6-37.7%)] and cardiovascular disease (CVD) [24.1% (95% CI: 16.7-31.2%)]. While the top three PARs were 12.7% (95% CI: 6.1-19.3%), 4.0% (95% CI: 2.4-5.6%), and 1.1% (95% CI: 0.0-2.3%), for respiratory disease, CVD, and cancer, respectively in women. For deaths of lung cancer, the PAR of smoking was 68.4% (95% CI: 58.2- 76.5%) in men. Conclusions: In urban Shanghai, 23.9% and 2.4% of all deaths in men and women could have been prevented if no people had smoked in the area. Effective control programs against cigarette smoking should be strongly advocated to reduce the increasing smoking-related death burden.展开更多
