The burden and long-term trends of breast cancer by different menopausal status in China

Background: The burden of breast cancer in women of different menopausal status has not been assessed in China previously. We aim to evaluate and project the burden of breast cancer in different menopausal status in China. Methods: The incidence and mortality of breast cancer were estimated using the data of 554 cancer registries in 2017 and the trends of incidence and mortality of 112 cancer registries from 2010 to 2017. Data from 22 continued cancer registries from 2000 to 2017 were applied for long-term trend projection to 2030 using the Bayesian age- period-cohort model. Menopausal status was stratified by age, with premenopause defined as chronological age < 45 years, perimenopause defined as 45-54 years, and postmenopause defined as ≥ 55 years. Results: Approximately 352,300 incident cases and 74,200 deaths of breast cancer occurred in China in 2020, contributing to 2.6 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Perimenopausal women had the highest inci- dence, prevalence, and DALYs rates, with the rates being 100.3 per 100,000, 819.2 per 100,000 and 723.1 per 100,000 persons. While postmenopausal women had the highest mortality rates (25.5 per 100,000 persons). From 2000 to 2017, the largest increase in incidence and mortality for breast cancer was observed in postmenopausal women with an average annual percentage change (AAPC) of 5.6% and 2.94%. The number of breast cancer cases and deaths will increase to 452,000 and 98,800 in 2030, resulting in 3.2 million DALYs. Conclusions: The burden of breast cancer is rapidly increasing in China and varies among different menopausal status. Specific prevention and control strategies for women in different menopausal status will be more helpful in reducing the rapidly growing trends of breast cancer.

Status quo of Agriculture in Benin and Developing Strategy

Benin, a tropical country in west Africa, is one of the Ieast deveIoped countries confirmed by the United Nations. Benin is highIy dependent on agricuIture and reIativeIy rich in agricuIture resources. It＆#39;s especial y suitabIe for agricuIture be-cause of the sufficient sunIight, raln and suitabIe temperature. AgricuIture export in Benin pIays an important part for both government and farmers. But the Iack of new varieties, appropriate technoIogy and modern service makes it difficuIt to deveI-op the agricuIture production rapidIy. Based on the introduction of agricuIture re-sources incIuding cIimate and Iand, this articIe malnIy showed the maln agricuIture productions and potential probIems in Benin, and then Iooked into the distance and deveIoping strategy on how to soIve the probIems. In order to deveIop the agricuI-ture sustalnabIy in Benin, it’s also suggested that the worId shouId strengthen the ald and share the fruits of new products, appropriate technoIogy and good man-agement methods.

DESERTIFICATION IN CHINA: STATUS, TRENDS, AND STRATEGIES

Based on defition of desertification in Intematonal Convention toCombat Desertfication. and on China's situation, desenification is found notonly In and and senuand ropons but also in huAnd and subhunud ropons. InChina the desertified land area has already reached 1,1 17,000kin2, or 11.6percen of China's total land area. Of which 33.2 percent is caused by winderosion, 33.8 percen by water erosion and 33.0 percen by physical andchemical actions. Besides- another 535,000 kin2 of land is susceptible to wind erosion, 875,000 km2 to water erosion and 173,000 km2 to saliruzation.Land desertification in China is the result Of over growth of populahon and irrational human aCtivities, such as abuse of water res ou rces, overculti vati on'overgrazlng. deforestaion, vopation destruCtion and envirormental polluton caused by industry and nurung under fragile ecological conditions.In recat decades, reverse tronds have occurred in mpons under proper conrol.However. on the Whole it has beenexpanding. For instance, sandy desertification develops at an annual rate of 1.39 percen in agropastoral ropons in Northem China. This paper is supposed to evaluate the curren conrol measures and practices of desertification- in ligh of the distributon characteristics and developmedl trend of land desertification in China.

The world status and population trends of the Great Bustard (Otis tarda):2010 update

The Great Bustard(Otis tarda) world population is estimated to be 44100–57000 individuals in 2010,of which about 57–70% occur in Spain,15–25% in European Russia,4–10% in China,Mongolia and south-eastern Russia,3–4% in Portugal,3% in Hungary,1–2% in Turkey,and smaller numbers in ten other countries.The reliability of current censuses and estimates may be described as high for a large fraction of the world population(67–75%),and low for the remain-ing 25–33%(including Russia,Mongolia,China,Turkey,Ukraine,Iran and Kazakhstan).In spite of continued declines reported for some countries(e.g.,Turkey,Iran,China) ,the present survey suggests that total numbers have not significantly decreased worldwide during the last decade,as opposed to the globally declining trend currently assumed.This is due to a large fraction of the world total living in countries whose overall surveys are apparently stable(e.g.,Spain,Portugal),after a noticeable recovery during the last few decades once the hunting ban was established.Only 6–10% of the world total is apparently still decreasing,mostly due to agricultural intensification,other causes of habitat degradation,and locally,also illegal hunting and collision with power lines.A small fraction of the world population(3–4%),is clearly(Germany,Austria) or apparently(Hungary) increasing,due to management and conservation measures.Finally,19–22% of the world total has an uncertain status,due to inaccurate current or past censuses which prevent establishing reliable population trends.We recommend 1)keeping conservation efforts and the species’protection status worldwide,and 2)carrying out urgently nation-wide surveys in countries with low quality estimates,in order to confirm world numbers and trends.

Breeding Status, Nesting Densities ＆ Diet Trends of Two Endangered California Least Tern Colonies

The California least tern （Sternula antillarum browni） is an endangered species. The two largest colonies of this bird species in the San Francisco Bay, California, USA, are located 23 km apart at Alameda Point and Hayward Regional Shoreline. The Alameda Point colony, on the former Naval Air Station, Alameda, has grown at an average rate of 9.2% per year since its discovery in 1976 and has a nesting density ranging from 1-153 nests per ha. Long-term breeding success at Alameda has averaged 0.86 fledglings per breeding pair. Least tems began appearing in 2003, at an island in Hayward enhanced with substrate mediums and social attraction devices. Successful breeding attempts have been observed at the Hayward colony since 2006. The Hayward colony has grown at an average rate of 51.5% per year, has a nesting density ranging from 33-333 nests per ha and long-term breeding success average of 0.87 fledglings per breeding pair. Dropped fish have been collected from both colonies, and silversides （family Atherinopsidae） are the dominant prey. Alameda terns forage on a greater variety of species than the Hayward terns. The regression results indicate the importance of Northern anchovy （Engraulis mordax） to the breeding success of the Alameda colony.

Development Trends and Evaluation of Egbe Reservoir Water Nutrient Status in Ekiti State, Nigeria

A study about some physicochemical parameters of Egbe reservoir was carried out from September 2005 to December 2006. The parameters include mean temperature, pH, conductivity, alkalinity, TSS, TDS, DO and BOD which have values of 28.7±0.9 ℃ ; 8.3±0.3; 831±172.5 μS/cm; 165.4±18.3 mg/L; 0.06±0.1 mg/L; 0.4±0.6 mg/L; 7.8±2.4 mg/L and 5.2±1.6mg/L, respectively. Temperature and pH were measured in the field using mercury-in-glass thermometer calibrated in degrees Celsius and pH meter, respectively. TSS and TDS were measured by grayimetric methods, while alkalinity was measured titrimetrically and DO and BOD were measured by Winkler＇s method. For the nutrients, nitrate was measured color±metrically, phosphate by Stannous Chloride method and sulphate by turbidimetric method. Mean concentration of nitrate, phosphate, and sulphate were 15.6±8.6 rag/L; 42.5±19.4 mg/L and 72.3±14.7 mg/L respectively. Nowadays, eutrophication of natural waters is one of the most significant causes of deterioration of water quality, and nitrates and phosphates are probably the key nutrients in controlling the growth of aquatic plants. Though the mean concentration of nitrates and phosphates in the reservoir water were within the acceptable limit, yet their concentrations in some locations of reservoir were high enough to encourage the growth of aquatic macrophytes which would increase productivities. Hence, it is necessary to check their further increase, and periodic monitoring and preventive measures must be adopted to save the reservoir from eutrophication.

Current Status of Rice Production in Burundi and Its Development Strategies

Burundi, a landlocked country locked near the equator, is one of the least developed countries confirmed by the United Nations and the 60% financial revenue needs aid. Rice is the most important and extravagant food in Burundian consumption for no more than 5 kg on average per people by year. It＇s especially suitable to plant rice in Burundi because of the sufficient sunlight and rain. But the lack of new varieties, practical technology and modern service make it very difficult for rice production. According to this significant roll, the rice production has to be increased in order to satisfy the consumption needs which are now becoming higher and keep the food safe. This article mainly shows the rice ecological types, production facts and the major constraints of rice production in Burundi, and then look into the distance on how to solve the problems.
