Projecting trends in the disease burden of adult edentulism in China between 2020 and 2030: a systematic study based on the global burden of disease.

Purpose: This study was based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database and aimed to analyze the trend of disease burden for complete edentulism in Chinese adults between 1990 and 2030, and to provide valuable information for the development of more effective management and preventive measures.

Methods: Data on Chinese adults with complete edentulism from 1990 to 2019 was analyzed using GHDx data. Descriptive analyses were used to analyze changes in the prevalence and burden of complete edentulism, gender and age distribution between 1990 and 2019.

Long-term trends in the burden of edentulism in China over three decades: A Joinpoint regression and age-period-cohort analysis based on the global burden of disease study 2019.

Background: To investigate secular trends in edentulism incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) rates in Chinese men and women from 1990 to 2019.

Methods: Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. The annual percentage change and average annual percentage change were calculated using Joinpoint regression analysis.

[Correlation of polymorphisms of interleukin-2 gene and HBV DNA copies in patients with chronic hepatitis B].

Objective: To investigate the relationships of polymorphisms of interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene to the susceptibility of chronic hepatitis B, and to analyze the frequencies of IL-2 gene polymorphisms and the HBV-DNA copies in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Methods: Two single nucleotide polymorphisms of IL-2 gene promoter -385T/G and +114T/G at exon one were analyzed in 155 patients with chronic hepatitis B and in 170 age- and sex-matched controls from a Chinese population. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) strategy and DNA sequencing were used, and the serum HBV DNA in these patients was determined by real-time PCR.

[A dynamic observation on serum cytokine and immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA, IgM) in patients with esophageal cancer].

Objective: To study the changes of serum interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA, IgM) in patients with esophageal cancer, and to probe the relationship between the levels of IL-2, IL-8, IgG, IgA and IgM and the progress of cancer.

Methods: The serum levels of IL-2 and IL-8 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for 72 case of primary esophageal cancer, 68 advanced esophageal cancer and 120 healthy controls, and the level of immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA, IgM) in patients with esophageal cancer was dynamically observed.

Results: The IL-2 level in patients with early esophageal cancer [(1.

[Serum level and genotype of interleukin-6 in patients with esophageal cancer].

Objective: To investigate the polymorphism of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene promoter-572C/G and -634C/G in patients with esophageal cancer, and to study the relation between the serum level and genotype of interleukin-6 and esophageal cancer.

Methods: Peripheral blood samples were collected from 118 patients with esophageal cancer and 130 healthy persons as controls. The polymorphism of IL-6 was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method.
