Colon and rectal cancer risk after bariatric surgery in a multicountry Nordic cohort study

Obesity is a risk factor for colorectal cancer. Yet, some research indicates that weight-reducing bariatric surgery also increases colorectal cancer risk. Our study was undertaken because current evidence examining bariatric surgery and risk of colorectal cancer is limited and inconsistent. This population-based cohort study included adults with a documented obesity diagnosis in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden in 1980–2015. The incidence of colorectal cancer in participants with obesity who had and had not undergone bariatric surgery was compared to the incidence in the corresponding background population by calculating standardized incidence ratios (SIR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Additionally, operated and nonoperated participants with obesity were compared using multivariable Cox regression, providing hazard ratios (HR) with 95% CIs adjusted for confounders. Among 502,772 cohort participants with an obesity diagnosis, 49,931(9.9%) underwent bariatric surgery. The overall SIR of colon cancer was increased after bariatric surgery (SIR 1.56; 95% CI 1.28–1.88), with higher SIRs ≥10 years postsurgery. The overall HR of colon cancer in operated compared to nonoperated participants was 1.13 (95% CI 0.92–1.39) and 1.55 (95% CI 1.04–2.31) 10–14 years after bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery did not significantly increase the risk of rectal cancer (SIR 1.14, 95% CI 0.83–1.52; HR 1.08, 95% CI 0.79–1.49), but the risk estimates increased with longer follow-up periods. Our study suggests that bariatric surgery is associated with an increased risk of colon cancer, while the support for an increased risk of rectal cancer was weaker.     

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.     

中西医结合治疗癫痫伴抑郁Meta分析

目的:系统评价中西医结合治疗癫痫伴抑郁患者的临床疗效。方法:计算机检索中国知网、万方数据库、中国医学生物文献数据库、维普资讯、PubMed及Web of Science等中英文数据库,筛选出自各数据库建库以来至2018年7月关于中西医结合治疗癫痫伴抑郁的临床随机对照试验(randomized controlled trial,RCT)研究,根据系统评价标准依次进行文献质量评价和Meta分析。结果:纳入14个研究,共1183例患者。Meta分析结果显示:中西医结合治疗癫痫伴抑郁在降低HAMD评分、提高QLOIE-31评分方面优于单纯西药治疗。癫痫发作频次改善率效应值合并量OR=3.53,95%CI(1.73,7.17),Z=3.48(P=0.0005),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。临床安全性效应值合并量OR=0.59,95%CI(0.35,0.98),Z=2.03(P=0.04),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:中西医结合足疗程治疗癫痫伴抑郁临床疗效优于单纯西药治疗,且临床安全性良好,但因纳入研究数量和质量有限,上述结论尚待高质量的RCT研究验证。

浅谈职业病危害因素苯的识别与化学品安全说明书的关系

新型冠状病毒肺炎（新冠肺炎）对人民的生命健康造成了巨大的威胁。在新冠肺炎疫情下，如何应对肝胆外科肝癌患者的门诊筛查、病房管理以及安全地实施肝癌手术，都是对肝胆外科医师提出的新挑战。我们认为，该病的临床处置应在筛查新冠肺炎的前提下，遵循正规操作流程，做好充分防护。对于需要急诊治疗但无法排除新冠肺炎的肝癌患者，须综合考虑患者的病情严重程度、手术方式及手术室条件，慎重制定个体化治疗方案。整个诊疗过程必须遵从既保证患者的安全及疗效，又要降低医护人员感染风险的原则。
