前列腺特异性抗原对中国人群前列腺癌早期检测价值的Meta分析

背景与目的：前列腺特异性抗原（prostate-specific antigen,PSA）是一种前列腺癌标志物,但关于使用PSA作为筛查标准是否合适仍存在争论。评价PSA在中国人群前列腺癌早期检测中的价值,旨在为前列腺癌筛查策略的制定提供依据。方法：对万方数据库、中国医院知识仓库（China Hospital Knowledge Database,CHKD）和PubMed数据库进行文献检索,再根据已发表文献中的参考文献追溯进行手工检索。收集2000年1月—2020年3月有关PSA对中国人群前列腺癌早期检测的文献资料。按确定的纳入标准筛选文献,对纳入的文献进行质量评价。对以PSA>4 ng/mL作为临界点检测前列腺癌的灵敏度、特异度等进行Meta分析。结果：共检索到5 722篇文献,排除重复及不符合标准的5 713篇后,纳入9篇文献。累计研究对象共6 425人,其中前列腺癌患者596例;Meta分析结果显示,以PSA>4 ng/mL作为临界点检测前列腺癌的灵敏度、特异度和集成受试者工作特征（summary receiver operating characteristic,SROC）曲线的曲线下面积（area under curve,AUC）分别为91%（95% CI：89%~93%）、41%（95% CI：27%~56%）和0.91（95% CI：0.88~0.93）。结论：中国人群中以PSA>4 ng/mL作为检测前列腺癌的界值,具有较高的灵敏度,但特异度较低,前列腺癌筛查可在PSA>4 ng/mL的基础上进一步筛选。     

Diabetes,Metformin, and Lung Cancer: Retrospective Study of the Korean NHIS-HEALS Database

BackgroundMetformin is the first option in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and has pleotropic effects. We studied the incidence of lung cancer in patients who received metformin therapy.Patients and MethodsThis study was retrospectively designed and based on the Korean National Health Insurance Service–National Health Screening Cohort to determine whether metformin reduces lung cancer risk in the diabetic population. At baseline, all participants were 40 to 69 years old and were categorized into 3 groups: metformin nonrecipients with DM, metformin recipients with DM, and the nondiabetic group.ResultsA total of 336,168 individuals were included in the final analysis (314,291 nondiabetic individuals, 8806 metformin recipients, and 13,071 metformin nonrecipients). The study median follow-up period was 12.86 years. The estimated cumulative lung cancer incidence of metformin nonrecipients, metformin recipients, and the nondiabetic group was 1.80%, 1.97%, and 1.24% in men and 1.87%, 0.61%, and 0.41% in women, respectively (P < .05). Compared to metformin nonrecipients, the hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for lung cancer incidence of metformin recipients and the nondiabetic group were 1.287 (0.979-1.691) and 0.835 (0.684-1.019) in men and 0.664 (0.374-1.177) and 0.553 (0.359-0.890) in women, respectively. The hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) were statistically significant in male ever smokers (0.784 [0.627-0.979]) and female nonsmokers (0.498 [0.320-0.774]) after stratification according to smoking status.ConclusionMetformin therapy did not reduce lung cancer incidence in the diabetic population. However, individuals without DM were at a lower risk of lung cancer, especially in male ever smokers and female nonsmokers.     

2014年中国农村基于超声乳腺癌筛查多中心数据分析

目的为提高国家农村妇女乳腺癌筛查项目效果,第2个周期(2012-2014年)筛查模式调整为基于超声的乳腺癌筛查,本研究通过对2014年度农村妇女乳腺癌筛查数据进行分析,了解基于超声的乳腺癌筛查模式的质量和效果,为完善筛查流程、提高筛查质量和管理水平提供依据。方法采用基于超声的乳腺癌筛查模式为全国35~64岁农村户籍女性进行群体性乳腺癌筛查:先为符合条件的农村女性进行乳腺临床检查联合乳腺超声检查,超声BI-RADS 0、4、5级者进行乳腺X射线检查(mammography,MG),X射线BI-RADS 0、4、5级者进行组织病理检查,乳腺超声、X射线BI-RADS 1、2、3级者进行1年随访。检查数据以统计报表和个案表(筛出乳腺癌患者)形式录入《国家妇幼重大公共卫生项目信息直报系统》。分东、中、西部地区计算乳腺癌召回率、活检率、活检阳性预测值、检出率、早诊率、原位癌比例、早期癌比例、漏检率、假阳性率等主要评估指标;使用χ^2检验对地区间指标结果进行比较。结果2014年为30个省(市、区)697个项目县共1373524名35~64岁农村女性进行了乳腺癌筛查。检出乳腺癌1190例,检出率为0.87‰;东、中、西部地区检出乳腺癌例数分别为404、375和411例,检出率分别为0.90‰、0.86‰和0.84‰,地区间检出率差异无统计学意义,χ^2=1.215,P>0.05。共检出早期乳腺癌1014例,早诊率为85.21%;东、中、西部地区检出早期乳腺癌例数分别为353、323和338例,早诊率分别为87.38%、86.13%和82.24%,地区间早诊率差异无统计学意义,χ^2=4.638,P>0.05。检出原位癌82例,原位癌比例为6.89%;东、中、西部地区分别检出原位癌39、23和20例,原位癌比例分别为9.65%、6.13%和4.87%,原位癌比例地区间差异有统计学意义,χ^2=7.767,P<0.05。检出早期癌(0+Ⅰ期)387例,早期癌比例为32.52%;东、中、西部地区早期癌例数分别为159、115和113例,早期癌比例分别为39.36%、30.67%和27.49%,地区间差异有统计学意义,χ^2=13.922,P<0.01。MG复筛人数为33129人,召回率为2.41%;东、中、西部地区MG复筛人数分别为12827、11616和8686人,召回率分别为2.87%、2.67%和1.77%,地区间差异有统计学意义,χ^2=1386,P<0.01。3088人接受活检,活检率为0.22%;东、中、西部地区接受活检人数分别为1106、1006和976人,活检率分别为0.25%、0.23%和0.20%,地区间差异有统计学意义,χ^2=25.910,P<0.01。超声初筛漏检率为7.23%,其中BI-RADS 3级漏检率为6.89%;MG复筛BI-RADS 3级漏检率3.99%;仅超声检出乳腺癌比例为5.58%。结论2014年中国农村妇女乳腺癌检查项目检出和早诊情况符合相关质控要求,说明基于超声的乳腺癌筛查在中国农村地区可行且有效。但本筛查流程的漏检率仍较高,需进行流程优化。应加强MG和活检设备配置及技术培训,以提高乳腺癌筛查服务能力,从而进一步提高检出率和早诊率。     

Outcome of Childhood Acute Myeloid Leukemia With FLT3-ITD Mutation: The Experience of Children’s Cancer Hospital Egypt, 2007-17

IntroductionThe presence of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with high rates of induction failure and worse survival. Its presence places the patient into a high-risk group. We aimed to describe the outcome of pediatric AML with FLT3-ITD mutation.Patients and MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of cases of AML from July 2007 till July 2017 at Children’s Cancer Hospital Egypt.ResultsSeventy-one patients had FLT3 gene mutation out of 687 patients with AML. Sixty-five patients had FLT3 gene mutation with allelic ratio > 0.4; 43 (66.1%) of 65 patients experienced complete remission (CR). Of the 43 patients, 16 patients maintained CR, 18 patients relapsed after first CR, 8 patients died, and 1 patient was lost to follow-up. Patients with relapsing disease died after salvage chemotherapy, except for one patient, who was alive after second CR. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) was performed for 9 (13.8%) of 65 patients in first CR, of whom 8 were alive and in CR, and 1 patient experienced disease relapse and died. Seven patients (10.7%) were alive without allo-BMT. Three years’ overall and event-free survival for patients with FLT3-ITD mutation with high allelic ratio was 26.9% and 22.8%, respectively. Three years’ overall and event-free survival for patients treated with allo-BMT was 77.8% and 78.8%, respectively, versus patients treated without allo-BMT, 16.3% and 12.8%, respectively.ConclusionFLT3-ITD mutation in pediatric AML was associated with poor treatment outcomes, and the survival of relapsing patients was extremely poor. Allo-BMT in first remission was the best treatment option. Alternative donor transplants and FLT3 inhibitors are needed to improve outcome in developing countries.     

A specific translocation,t(12;14)(q14–15; q23–24), characterizes a subgroup of uterine leiomyomas

We have cytogenetically investigated short-term cultures initiated from 34 uterine leiomyomas, all of which were histologically completely benign. Clonal chromosome abnormalities were detected in five cases, a normal female complement in 22, whereas, in the remaining seven tumors no karyotype could be established. Apparently identical reciprocal translocations, t(12;14)(q14–15;q23–24), were found as the sole abnormality in four tumors. The fifth abnormal case contained a t(2;14)(p11;p11). We conclude that chromosome aberrations may be found in myomas of the uterus, and that t(12;14)(q14–15;q23–24) characterizes a subset of these tumors.
