Magnesium intake and primary liver cancer incidence and mortality in the Prostate,Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial

Epidemiological studies on magnesium intake and primary liver cancer (PLC) are scarce, and no prospective studies have examined the associations of magnesium intake with PLC incidence and mortality. We sought to clarify whether higher magnesium intake from diet and supplements was associated with lower risks of PLC incidence and mortality in the US population. Magnesium intake from diet and supplements was evaluated through a food frequency questionnaire in a cohort of 104,025 participants. Cox regression was employed to calculate hazard ratios for PLC incidence and competing risk regression was employed to calculate subdistribution hazard ratios for PLC mortality. Restricted cubic spline regression was employed to test nonlinearity. We documented 116 PLC cases during 1,193,513.5 person-years of follow-up and 100 PLC deaths during 1,198,021.3 person-years of follow-up. Total (diet + supplements) magnesium intake was found to be inversely associated with risks of PLC incidence (hazard ratio_{tertile 3 vs. 1}: 0.44; 95% confidence interval: 0.24, 0.80; p_trend = 0.0065) and mortality (subdistribution hazard ratio_{tertile 3 vs. 1}: 0.37; 95% confidence interval: 0.19, 0.71; p_trend = 0.0008). Similar results were obtained for dietary magnesium intake. Nonlinear inverse dose–response associations with PLC incidence and mortality were observed for both total and dietary magnesium intakes (all p_nonlinearity < 0.05). In summary, in the US population, a high magnesium intake is associated with decreased risks of PLC incidence and mortality in a nonlinear dose–response manner. These findings support that increasing the consumption of foods rich in magnesium may be beneficial in reducing PLC incidence and mortality.     

基于灰色关联度分析和聚类分析的3种滇产重楼抗肝癌作用谱效关系探索

目的:研究长柱重楼、滇重楼和南重楼的HPLC指纹图谱与其抗肝癌作用的谱效关系,为明确重楼抗肝癌作用的物质基础提供实验依据。方法:采用HPLC建立3种重楼提取物的指纹图谱,流动相乙腈(A)-水(B)梯度洗脱(0～10 min,20%A; 10～20 min,20%～25%A; 20～30 min,25%～30%A; 30～40 min,30%～35%A; 40～50 min,35%～40%A; 50～60 min,40%A; 60～75 min,40%～45%A; 75～80 min,45%～60%A),流速0. 9 m L·min~(-1),检测波长203 nm;利用噻唑蓝(MTT)比色法测定3种重楼提取物对肝癌HepG2细胞的增殖抑制作用,计算半数抑制浓度(IC_(50));运用聚类分析(HCA)和灰色关联度分析(GRA)研究3种重楼指纹图谱和抗肝癌作用的关系,找出对抗肝癌作用贡献较大的成分。结果:在3种重楼的HPLC指纹图谱中,确定其中11个色谱峰为共有峰。作用时间72 h时长柱重楼、滇重楼、南重楼的IC_(50)分别为148. 33,178. 87,208. 09 mg·L~(-1),其中长柱重楼的抗肝癌活性最强。灰色关联度结果显示,滇重楼共有峰中关联度较高的为1～10号峰,长柱重楼共有峰关联度较高的为1～7号峰,南重楼共有峰中关联度较高的为1～4,6～10,N1号峰,与IC_(50)关联度均0. 7。各重楼变量的聚类分析结果显示,可与IC_(50)聚为一类的色谱峰的关联度均 0. 7。结论:建立了3种重楼的HPLC指纹图谱,重复性良好。3种重楼中的1～4,6和7号色谱峰对抗肝癌药效贡献最大。     

Relationship between tRNA-derived fragments and human cancers

tRNA-derived fragments, a class of small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs), have been identified in numerous studies in recent years. tRNA-derived fragments are classified into two main groups, including tRNA halves (tiRNAs) and tRNA-derived small RNA fragments (tRFs), according to different cleavage positions of the precursor or mature tRNAs. Instead of random tRNA degradation debris, a growing body of evidence has shown that tRNA-derived fragments are precise products of specific tRNA modifications and play important roles in biological activities, such as regulating protein translation, affecting gene expression, and altering immune signaling. Recently, the relations between tRNA-derived fragments and the occurrence of human diseases, especially cancers, have generated wide interest. It has been demonstrated that tRNA-derived fragments are involved in cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, progression and survival. In this review, we will describe the biogenesis of tRNA-derived fragments, the distinct expression and function of tRNA-derived fragments in the development of cancers, and their emerging roles as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and precise targets of future treatments.

佛山市乙型肝炎母婴阻断工作环节问题探讨

目的探讨佛山市乙肝母婴阻断工作中存在的问题，为完善进一步工作提供思路。 方法采用队列研究的方法，以2017年佛山市HBsAg阳性产妇13 672例及其所分娩13 982例活产儿为研究对象，通过回顾性病历采集及前瞻性的随访追踪的方法，全面了解影响乙肝母婴阻断工作的主要因素。 结果2017年佛山市产妇HBsAg阳性率为10.14%，感染孕妇中HBeAg阳性率为24.13%，孕期HBV DNA检测率约5%，其中抗病毒治疗63例；新生儿乙肝免疫球蛋白接种率为99.84%；婴儿在出生后1年内完成乙肝疫苗三针接种的比率为81.71%，在完成三针乙肝疫苗接种的儿童中按照0-1-6程序接种的比率为62.65%；母婴阻断结果追踪率为40.16%，追踪儿童中母婴阻断失败34例，失败率为0.61%；产妇年龄低、HBeAg阳性、HepB未全程及规范接种是母婴阻断失败的危险因素(P<0.05)。儿童明确未检测的主要原因是拒绝检查、不知道要检查、提前检查和检测未提供结果，占99.07%。 结论加强信息沟通及健康教育，落实乙肝病毒感染产妇孕期DNA检测及抗病毒治疗，提高儿童乙肝疫苗的规范接种率，将暴露儿童的乙肝两对半检测纳入儿童保健管理工作，是实现全市乙肝母婴零传播的重要措施。
