Abstract

To investigate the trends of incidence for cervical cancer in the years of 1973 - 2000, in Qidong, a city in south China, with a population of 1.16 M. Crude incidence rate of cervical cancer was calculated by using incident case data from Qidong Cancer Registry, which was founded in 1972, and age-standardized rates were computed according to China age structure of 1964 (CASR), and world age structure of 1960 (WASR). The epidemiological features and secular change trends of the cancer were described. Six hundred and thirty-one new cases of cervical cancer were reported in Qidong during the years of 1973 to 2000, ranking the eighth and accounting for 3.25% among all sites of cancers in women. The crude annual incidence rate during the period was 3.96 per 100,000 on average, China age-standardized rate (CASR) was 2.67 per 100,000, and world age-standardized rate (WASR), 3.66 per 100,000. The incidence of cervical cancer was 2.97 per 100,000 for the last 14 years, and 5.01 per 100,000 for the first 14 years, showing a decreasing trend (P < 0.01). Age-specific rates showed that the incidents among those aged over 55 in the recent 14 years were markedly lower than that in the first 14 year period (P < 0.01). Qidong is a relatively lo...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
