To study the role of the adiponectin (ADIPOQ) gene single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the susceptibility and prognosis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we recruited 344 patients with NSCLC, of which 141 had undergone surgical resection and post-surgery follow up.?For controls, there were 264 healthy volunteers for the control group, matched in age and sex with the NSCLC patients. Genotyping of SNPs in the ADIPOQ gene, namely, rs266729 (11365C>G); rs822395 (4034A>C); rs822396 (3964A>G); rs2241766 (+45T>G) were performed. Of all SNPs in the ADIPOQ gene, only the TT genotype and T allele frequency of the rs2241766 were more prevalent in NSCLC subjects than in controls. The TT genotype of rs2241766 was significantly associated with susceptibility to NSCLC before and after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, and smoking status. In the survival analyses of subjects receiving surgical resection, only the SNPs of rs2241766 were significantly related to overall survival of NSCLC. Our results suggest that the SNP rs2241766 of the ADIPOQ gene may determine both susceptibility to NSCLC, and the prognosis for those who underwent surgical treatment. 相似文献

The independent and joint associations of serum selenium and vitamin A (retinol) and E (alpha tocopherol) concentrations with the risk of death from cancer were studied in 51 case-control pairs--that is, 51 patients with cancer, each paired with a control matched for age, sex, and smoking. Case-control pairs came from a random sample of some 12000 people aged 30-64 years resident in two provinces of eastern Finland who were followed up for four years. Patients who died of cancer during the follow up period had a 12% lower mean serum selenium concentration (p = 0.015) than the controls. The difference persisted when deaths from cancer in the first follow up year were excluded. The adjusted risk of fatal cancer was 5.8-fold (95% confidence interval 1.2-29.0) among subjects in the lowest tertile of selenium concentrations compared with those with higher values. Subjects with both low selenium and low alpha tocopherol concentrations in serum had an 11.4-fold adjusted risk. Among smoking men with cancer serum retinol concentrations were 26% lower than in smoking controls (p = 0.002). These data suggest that dietary selenium deficiency is associated with an increased risk of fatal cancer, that low vitamin E intake may enhance this effect, and that decreased vitamin or provitamin A intake contributes to the risk of lung cancer among smoking men with a low selenium intake. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE--To determine whether bronchioalveolar carcinoma is related to tobacco use. DESIGN--Case-control study. SETTING--11 teaching hospitals of Chicago, Long Island, New York, and Philadelphia, 1977-89. SUBJECTS--87 patients with histologically diagnosed bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (cases) and 286 non-cancer and 297 cancer patients matched to cases on age, sex, race, hospital, and date of admission. RESULTS--10% of male cases and 25% of female cases had never smoked. Relative risks of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (as estimated by the relative odds) were greater for subjects who started smoking at a younger age, smoked for a longer time, or smoked more cigarettes per day. Relative risks decreased proportionally to the duration of smoking cessation. CONCLUSION--Smoking plays an important part in the aetiology of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma but is not the only potential cause because of the large proportion of never smokers among patients with this disease. 相似文献

To find out whether keeping birds in the home is an independent risk factor for lung cancer a case-control study was carried out in four main hospitals in The Hague, The Netherlands. Forty nine patients under 65 years of age with lung cancer each were matched for age and sex with two control subjects who attended the same general practice. Data were collected on social class, cigarette smoking, intake of beta carotene and vitamin C, and alcohol consumption. It was found that smoking, birdkeeping, and a low intake of vitamin C were significantly and independently related to the incidence of lung cancer. The odds ratio for lung cancer among people who keep birds as pets was estimated to be 6.7 after adjusting for smoking and vitamin C intake. The results of this study suggest that keeping pet birds is an independent risk factor for lung cancer. 相似文献

Aims
Although the incidence of gastric cancer has decreased in the last 3 decades, it remains the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. In Asian countries, the burden of gastric cancer has remained, and cancer screening is normally expected to reduce gastric cancer death. We conducted a community-based, case-control study to evaluate the reduction of mortality from gastric cancer by endoscopic screening.Methods
Case subjects were defined as individuals who had died of gastric cancer between 2003 and 2006 in 4 cities in Tottori Prefecture, and between 2006 and 2010 in Niigata City, Japan. Up to 6 control subjects were matched by sex, birth year (±3 years), and the residence of each corresponding case subject from the population lists in the study areas. Control subjects were required to be disease-free at the time when the corresponding case subjects were diagnosed as having gastric cancer. The odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for those who had participated in endoscopic or radiographic screening before the reference date when the case subjects were diagnosed as having gastric cancer, compared with subjects who had never participated in any screening. Conditional logistic-regression models for matched sets were used to estimate the ORs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Results
The case subjects consisted of 288 men and 122 women for case subjects, with 2,292 matched control subjects. Compared with those who had never been screened before the date of diagnosis of gastric cancer in the case subjects, the ORs within 36 months from the date of diagnosis were 0.695 (95% CI: 0.489–0.986) for endoscopic screening and 0.865 (95% CI : 0.631–1.185) for radiographic screening.Conclusions
The results suggest a 30% reduction in gastric cancer mortality by endoscopic screening compared with no screening within 36 months before the date of diagnosis of gastric cancer. 相似文献6.

Summary The assessment of changes in immune competence due to cancer demands carefully controlled studies with simultaneous consideration of other factors such as age, sex, and general ill health. To determine the effect of each factor, immune competence was measured in 112 healthy individuals, 134 patients with benign disease, and 350 patients with cancer (breast, colorectal, and stomach) with a wide spectrum of parameters.In normal subjects, advancing age was associated with a significant reduction in percentage lymphocyte count (LC), absolute and percentage T cell counts, and responses to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM). In patients with benign disease, advancing age was associated with depression of serum IgM levels, absolute and percentage LC, responses to PHA, and delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity (DCH) responses to tuberculin PPD (Mantoux), and dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB), but elevation of serum IgA levels.No significant sex effects were demonstrated in either group of subjects.The effects of general ill health were determined by comparing individuals in good health (normal subjects and patients with minor benign breast disease) with those who had poor health (patients with significant benign gastrointestinal disease). The latter showed significant depression of DNCB sensitivity and lymphocyte reactivity to PHA, whereas total WBC and LC were significantly elevated.To determine the effects due to cancer, controls were matched for their general state of health and site of disease, in addition to completing all studies prior to any form of therapy. Age differences were corrected for by application of the findings of the above study. This age correction resulted in marked alterations in the significance of observed differences between cancer patients and controls. The previous significance of many differences either disappeared or was reduced, although in two instances significance was attained only after age correction. The only consistent immunodepression observed in the three types of cancer patient tested was impaired reactivity to DNCB. Responses were impaired even in early disease at all three sites.We have shown that the immunodepression exhibited by cancer patients is a summation of the effects due to age, general ill health, and malignancy. Some of the changes previously ascribed to cancer are due to these other factors. 相似文献

Risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) is considerably higher in men compared to women; however, there is inconclusive evidence of sex differences in CRC prognosis. We aimed to assess and explain sex differences in 5-year relative survival using standard and model-based period analysis among 164,996 patients diagnosed with CRC from 1997 to 2006 and reported to 11 German cancer registries covering a population of 33 million inhabitants. Age-adjusted 5-year relative survival was higher in women (64.5% vs. 61.9%, P<0.0001). A substantial survival advantage of women was confirmed in multivariate analysis after adjusting for CRC stage and subsite in subjects under 65 years of age (relative excess risk, RER 0.86, 95% CI 0.82–0.90), but not in older subjects (RER 1.01, 95% CI 0.98–1.04); this pattern was similar in the 1st and in the 2nd to 5th year after diagnosis. The survival advantage of women varied by CRC stage and age and was most pronounced for localized disease (RERs 0.59–0.88 in various age subgroups) and in patients under 45 years of age (RERs 0.59, 0.72 and 0.76 in patients with localized, regional or advanced disease, respectively). On the contrary, sex differences in survival did not vary by location of CRC. In conclusion, our large population-based study confirmed a survival advantage of female compared to male CRC patients, most notably in young and middle aged patients and patients with localized disease. The effect of sex hormones, either endogenous or through hormonal replacement therapy, might be the most plausible explanation for the observed patterns. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE--To examine the relation between the use of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and the presence of asymptomatic colorectal adenomas. DESIGN--Case-control study of subjects participating in a randomised controlled trial of faecal occult blood screening for colorectal cancer. Data on analgesics and other drugs were obtained from a questionnaire which was mainly concerned with diet and was administered by an interviewer. SETTING--Nottingham. SUBJECTS--147 patients with positive results in faecal occult blood tests who were found to have colorectal adenomas (cases), 153 age and sex matched control subjects with negative results in such tests (negative controls), and 176 control subjects with positive results in the tests who were found not to have colorectal adenomas (positive controls). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Relative risk of developing colorectal adenomas according to frequency and duration of use of analgesics. RESULTS--Cases reported taking less aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs than the negative controls, with the estimated relative risk for any use being 0.49 (95% confidence interval 0.3 to 0.8). The inverse association was less strong when cases were compared with the positive controls (0.66 (0.4 to 1.1)). The association was specific for aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs there being no association with paracetamol or other drugs. Prescribed use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for longer than five years was associated with the lowest risk (0.21 (0.1 to 0.8)), although the numbers reporting prolonged prescribed use were small. CONCLUSIONS--These findings support the hypothesis that aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use protects against the development of colorectal neoplasia. 相似文献

Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) content in colorectal cancer tissue extracts may be of strong prognostic value: high levels of PAI-1 in tumours predict poor prognosis. The gene encoding PAI-1 is highly polymorphic and PAI-1 gene variability could contribute to the level of PAI-1 biosynthesis. In the present work the distribution of genotypes and frequency of alleles of the 1334G/A polymorphism in 92 subjects with colorectal cancer in samples of cancer tissue and distant mucosa samples as well as in blood were investigated. Blood samples age matched healthy individuals (n = 110) served as control. The 1334G/A polymorphism was determined by PCR amplification using allele specific primers. No differences in the genotype distributions and allele frequencies between blood, distant mucosa samples and cancer tissue were detected. However, the distribution of the genotypes of the 1334G/A polymorphism in patients differed significantly (P <0.05) from those predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. There were significant differences in the frequencies of alleles between the colorectal cancer subjects and controls (P <0.05). The results support the hypothesis that the 1334G/A polymorphism may be associated with the incidence of colorectal cancer. 相似文献

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene 4G/5G promoter polymorphism is not associated with breast cancer 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The antigen content of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in primary breast cancer tissue extracts may be of strong prognostic value: high levels of PAI-1 in tumors predict poor prognosis for patients. The gene encoding PAI-1 is highly polymorphic and an insertion (5G)/deletion (4G) polymorphism in the PAI-1 gene promoter (the 4G/5G polymorphism), may have functional significance in PAI-1 expression. In the present work the distribution of genotypes and frequency of alleles of the 4G/5G polymorphism in subjects with breast cancer were investigated. Tumor tissues were obtained from 100 postmenopausal women with node-negative and node-positive ductal breast carcinoma with uniform tumor size. Blood samples from age matched healthy women served as control. The 4G/5G polymorphism was determined by PCR amplification using the allele specific primers. The distribution of the genotypes of the 4G/5G polymorphism in both control and patients did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) from those predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg distribution. There were no differences in the genotype distributions and allele frequencies between node-positive and node-negative patients. The 4G/5G polymorphism may not be linked with elevated level of PAI-1 observed in breast cancer and therefore may not be associated with appearance and/or progression of breast cancer. 相似文献

Although neuropsychological dysfunction is found among A-bomb survivors exposed in utero as it is among patients who receive central nervous system radiotherapy, neuropsychological examinations have not been conducted on the survivors. Its prevalence may be increased as a result of the increased rate of strokes reported among those exposed to a high radiation dose. In this study, we examined the effects of radiation exposure on cognitive function among adult survivors in the Adult Health Study (AHS). The study subjects were men and women born prior to September 1932 who had undergone biennial examinations during the period 1992-1996 in Hiroshima or 1993-1998 in Nagasaki. We evaluated cognitive performance for 3,113 subjects with the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI), and we examined the relationship between cognitive performance and potentially related factors (sex, age, city where the subjects were exposed, years of education, and radiation dose). In contrast to exposure to radiotherapy, exposure to atomic bomb radiation had no apparent effect on cognitive function. Factors that did affect cognitive function were age, sex, city and years of education. Further investigation, including examination of other neurological functions, is required before a final conclusion regarding radiation-induced neurological dysfunction can be reached. 相似文献

The smoking habits of 82 patients with malignant-phase hypertension were compared with those of subjects in three control groups matched for age and sex. Sixty-seven (82%) of the patients with malignant-phase hypertension were smokers compared with 41 (50%) and 71 (43%) of the patients in two control groups with non-malignant hypertension, and 43 people (52%) in a general population survey. The excess of smokers in the malignant-phase group was significant for men and women, together and separately, for cigarette smoking alone, and for all forms of smoking. There were no significant differences between the control groups. The chance of a hypertensive patient who smoked having the malignant phase was five times that of a hypertensive patient who did not. Twelve patients in the malignant-phase group had never smoked. All were alive three and a half years on average after presentation (range 11 months to seven years). Twenty-four (36%) of the smokers with malignant-phase hypertension died during the same period. The mortality rate was significantly higher among patients with renal failure, as was the prevalence of smoking. Eighteen patients with malignant-phase hypertension had a serum creatinine concentration higher than 250 μmol/l (2·8 mg/100 ml); 17 were smokers and one an ex-smoker. Eleven of these 18 patients died.It is concluded that hypertensive patients who smoke are much more likely to develop the malignant phase than those who do not, and that once the condition has developed it follows a particularly lethal course in smokers. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers increased with atomic bomb radiation dose, and whether radiation decreased the ability to clear HBV among the atomic bomb survivors. The study subjects were 6,121 participants in the Adult Health Study of atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After adjustment for age, sex, city and potential confounders, the rates of seropositivity for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), indicating current HBV infections, and anti-hepatitis B core antibody, indicating either cured or current infections, increased with radiation dose. However, no relationship was observed between radiation and anti-hepatitis B surface antibody (indicating cured infection). The proportion of persons who were unable to clear the virus, as the proportion of HBsAg-positive persons among those ever infected by HBV (positive for HBsAg or surface or core hepatitis B antibody), increased significantly with radiation dose among those receiving blood transfusions. This proportion was not related to dose among those who reported no such transfusions. The findings may suggest a lower likelihood of clearance after HBV infection among those who were more likely to have been infected with HBV as adults after atomic bomb irradiation rather than as infants or adults prior to irradiation. 相似文献

Alcohol abstinence and mortality in a general population sample of adults in Germany: A cohort study
BackgroundEvidence suggests that people who abstain from alcohol have a higher mortality rate than those who drink low to moderate amounts. However, little is known about factors that might be causal for this finding. The objective was to analyze former alcohol or drug use disorders, risky drinking, tobacco smoking, and fair to poor health among persons who reported abstinence from alcohol drinking in the last 12 months before baseline in relation to total, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality 20 years later.Methods and findingsA sample of residents aged 18 to 64 years had been drawn at random among the general population in northern Germany and a standardized interview conducted in the years 1996 to 1997. The baseline assessment included 4,093 persons (70.2% of those who had been eligible). Vital status and death certificate data were retrieved in the years 2017 and 2018.We found that among the alcohol-abstinent study participants at baseline (447), there were 405 (90.60%) former alcohol consumers. Of the abstainers, 322 (72.04%) had met one or more criteria for former alcohol or drug dependence or abuse, alcohol risky drinking, or had tried to cut down or to stop drinking, were daily smokers, or self-rated their health as fair to poor. Among the abstainers with one or more of these risk factors, 114 (35.40%) had an alcohol use disorder or risky alcohol consumption in their history. Another 161 (50.00%) did not have such an alcohol-related risk but were daily smokers. The 322 alcohol-abstinent study participants with one or more of the risk factors had a shorter time to death than those with low to moderate alcohol consumption. The Cox proportional hazard ratio (HR) was 2.44 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.68 to 3.56) for persons who had one or more criteria for an alcohol or drug use disorder fulfilled in their history and after adjustment for age and sex. The 125 alcohol-abstinent persons without these risk factors (27.96% of the abstainers) did not show a statistically significant difference from low to moderate alcohol consumers in total, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. Those who had stayed alcohol abstinent throughout their life before (42; 9.40% of the alcohol-abstinent study participants at baseline) had an HR 1.64 (CI 0.72 to 3.77) compared to low to moderate alcohol consumers after adjustment for age, sex, and tobacco smoking. Main limitations of this study include its reliance on self-reported data at baseline and the fact that only tobacco smoking was analyzed as a risky behavior alongside alcohol consumption.ConclusionsThe majority of the alcohol abstainers at baseline were former alcohol consumers and had risk factors that increased the likelihood of early death. Former alcohol use disorders, risky alcohol drinking, ever having smoked tobacco daily, and fair to poor health were associated with early death among alcohol abstainers. Those without an obvious history of these risk factors had a life expectancy similar to that of low to moderate alcohol consumers. The findings speak against recommendations to drink alcohol for health reasons.In this cohort study conducted over 20 years, Ulrich John and colleagues examine the relationship between alcohol abstinence and mortality in a German adult population. 相似文献

The P300 (P3) event-related brain potential (ERP) was elicited in 16 demented patients presumed to be in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease and 16 normal control subjects well matched for age, sex, education and occupational level. All subjects performed a simple auditory discrimination task in which a target tone was presented randomly on 20% of the trials. P3 amplitude was smaller and peak latency longer for the Alzheimer patients compared to control subjects. A second ERP task also was administered in which the target tone occurred 50% of the time. Analysis of the target/standard tone presentation sequences indicated that the Alzheimer patient group demonstrated less amplitude difference between the target and standard sequences and longer overall latencies compared to the control group. The results that the P3 ERP component from auditory stimuli can provide useful information about Alzheimer's disease during its early stages. 相似文献

Transfusion-transmitted virus (TTV) is a recently discovered transfusion-transmissible DNA virus. Its frequency and clinical impact has not been established in cancer patients in Turkey. In this study, we determined the prevalence of TTV DNA positivity, and its relationship with history of transfusion, amount of transfusion, age and sex in patients with hematological and solid malignancies. Sixty-one patients (35 male and 26 female) followed up for various malignancies and 45 healthy subjects were included in the study. ITV DNA was assayed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). TTV DNA was detected in 18 of 61 patients (29.5%) and in 5 of 45 control subjects (11.1%). In cancer patients, the prevalence of TTV DNA positivity was higher to comparison with control group. In addition, the prevalence of TTV DNA positivity was significantly higher in 22 patients who had a history of blood transfusion in the last 6 months than 39 patients who had no current or past history of transfusion (40.9% vs 23.0% respectively). These results suggest that the prevalence of TTV DNA is high and the parenteral route is an important mode of transmission for TTV in cancer patients. In addition, the high prevalence and persistence of TTV in cancer patients with parenteral risk exposure could be related to the immunodeficiency due to cancer and high viral loads by parenteral route. 相似文献
