Background: The incidence of gastric cancer (GC) decreased in past decades, which was thought largely attributable to risk factors control, yet China still accounts for 44% of global GC burdens. We aimed to estimate changing trajectories of proportions of GC burdens attributable to modifiable risk factors from 2000 to 2050 in China, to inform future targeted preventive strategies.

Methods: The incidence and new cases of GC were predicted to 2050 using Bayesian age-period-cohort model based on incidence data by anatomical subsites drawn from 682 cancer registries from National Central Cancer Registry. Population attributable fractions (PAFs) were calculated based on prevalence of risk factors and relative risks with GC. Temporal trends of PAFs were described by sex and categories of risk factors using joinpoint analysis.

Findings: We observed declining trends of PAFs of () infection, smoking, pickled vegetable and alcohol consumption, but increasing trends of PAFs of unhealthy body mass index and diabetes for GC in China. The combined PAFs of these risk factors were estimated to decrease by 10.57% from 2000 to 2050 for GC. We estimated there will be 279,707 GC (122,796 cardia gastric cancer [CGC] and 156,911 non-cardia gastric cancer [NCGC]) cases in 2050. Out of these cases, 70.18% of GC cases could be attributable to modifiable risk factors, while infection was predicted to be responsible for 40.7% of CGC and 62.1% of NCGC cases in 2050.

Interpretation: More than half of GC remained attributable to modifiable risk factors in China. Continued effective strategies on risk factors control are needed to reduce the burden of this highly life-threatening cancer in future.

Understanding the Importance of the Small Artery Media-Lumen Ratio: Past and Present.

Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol

February 2025

The media-lumen diameter ratio of small arteries is increased in hypertension, diabetes and obesity. It is likely that both shear stress on the endothelial cells, transmural pressure and smooth muscle cell tone are important for the altered vascular structure. However, the precise interaction and importance of these factors are incompletely understood.

Background: There are insufficient studies to determine whether sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) will help reduce early diabetic cardiomyopathy, especially in patients without documented cardiovascular disease.

Methods: We performed a single center, prospective observation study. A total of 90 patients with type 2 diabetes patients without established heart failure or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease were enrolled.

Background: Childhood overweight and obesity are significant global public health challenges that affect approximately 340 million children worldwide. In Georgia, the prevalence of childhood obesity is alarming, with approximately 28% of 7-year-old children classified as overweight or obese in 2019. This study aimed to investigate the key factors associated with overweight and obesity among school-age children in Georgia.

Background: The integration of procedure-specific risks into preoperative patient assessment and optimization are crucial aspects of perioperative care. However, data on internists' knowledge of surgical and anesthetic principles and practices are limited. We thus sought to identify internists' knowledge gaps in terms of surgical- and anesthetic-specific risk factors and characteristics.
