1 Cancer and precision nutrition ：the future is now
Song Yun， Xu Xiping
The number of cancer cases and deaths in the world is still increasing year by year which seriously threatens human health and life resulting in a huge disease burden. The trend is particularly acute in China with a large aging population. The prevention and treatment of cancer have been included in the national health policy outline and the national nutrition plan. The occurrence and development of tumors are the result of the interaction of genetic factors and environmental factors. Emerging evidence has been proven that nutrition plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of cancer. The development direction of precision nutrition is to abandon the " one -size -fits -all" nutrition approach and divide the population into different subgroups according to lifestyle dietary and environmental exposure genetics microbiology metabolomic and biomarkers so as to form more scientific and reasonable dietary recommendations or nutritional intervention strategies. The occurrence and development of tumors are often accompanied by nutritional imbalance and metabolic disorder. Therefore this review focuses on the relationship between tumor and nutrition and discusses the research progress and development direction of tumor and nutrition metabolomic including one-carbon metabolism and folate-regulated metabolism . In the future we hope to establish comprehensive life-cycle management standards and guidelines for cancer and precision nutrition that are more suitable for the Chinese population and ultimately reduce the incidence and disease burden of cancer improve the health level and enhance the quality of life and treatment outcome of cancer patients.

6 Exercise therapy the future of cancer patients with cachexia
Liu Jie,Lu Zongliang,Xu Hongxia
The morbidity and the mortality of cachexia in cancer patients is high and it is difficult to reverse once entering the period of cachexia in clinical. There is no routine intervention for cachexia presently. Therefore it is suggested to pay attention to take a proactive approach in the early stage of the disease to maintain or slow down the loss of function. The benefits of exercise on health have become more and more clearly. Exercise can reduce the risk of malignant tumor reduce the risk of metastasis and recurrence improve the quality of life of cancer patients and possibly improve their survival outcomes. However the best evidence for the feasibility and effectiveness of exercise on muscle and / or weight recovery is mostly found in patients with non cachexia. There are few studies on the role of exercise in cancer cachexia and its role is still uncertain. The combination of exercise nutrition supplement and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is still the preferred treatment method for multimodal intervention but its benefits in preventing or reversing muscle and / or weight loss need to be further confirmed by more clinical and basic studies. For cachexia patients individualized exercise prescription should be made on the basis of full consideration of safety though the guidelines recommend that cancer patients should exercise. This paper will focus on the application of exercise in cancer cachexia combined with the latest progress of animal model research and clinical application study and explore the application and prospect of exercise therapy in cancer cachexia.

16 Gene polymorphisms in one-carbon metabolism pathway and cancer susceptibility
1He Qiangqiang,2Ding Chengzhi,2Song Jingchao
The high incidence and mortality of cancer threaten human health and lifespan. One-carbon metabolism is one of the important metabolic pathways involved in tumor pathogenesis. The effects of folate and homocysteine two key components of the one-carbon metabolism pathway have attracted the attentions of a large number of studies. Meanwhile multiple functional gene polymorphisms in the one-carbon metabolism pathway also play roles in carriers' susceptibility to cancers but this relationship is often modified by many confounders including nutrients in the one-carbon metabolism pathway. In addition other studies proved these gene polymorphisms are determinants of the sensitivity and toxicity to chemotherapy drugs thus genotype information may provide a basis for the selection and dose setting of clinical chemotherapy drugs. Some studies have found that these functional gene polymorphisms have potential value as prognostic predictors of cancer patients. In this review the research on these aspects is summarized. Nowadays "precision medicine and personalized treatment" has become an important trend in medical development studies on functional gene polymorphism in the one-carbon metabolism pathway may provide an opportunity with great scientific significance and potential value in individualized tumor prevention and clinical treatment.

22 The relationship between one-carbon metabolism related nutrient and cancer
1Zhou Ziyi，2Liu Demei，2Xu Ping
Metabolic disorders are considered to be a fundamental feature of all cancer cells and genes related to the regulation of cellular metabolism have gradually become targets for cancer diagnosis and treatment. One-carbon metabolism is a prevalent metabolic process in cells mainly responsible for body biosynthesis amino acid homeostasis epigenetic maintenance and regulation of cellular nutritional status etc. Its important metabolic pathways folate cycle and methionine cycle are closely related to the prevention and development of tumors. The core of the folate cycle is the interconversion of folate and its derivatives which on the one hand has been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of cancer development while on the other hand if precancerous lesions have already formed the DNA precursors provided by the folate cycle may provide raw material for cancer cell growth thus accelerating the development of cancer. In addition abnormal activation of the serine biosynthetic pathway in this cycle is one of the important processes in cancer pathogenesis. The enzymes required in its metabolic process have been found to be closely related to cancer and are expected to be key targets for tumor prevention and treatment. Various coenzymes are also involved in this cycle such as vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 which are closely associated with cancer progression. Methyl donors play a pivotal role in epigenetic and metabolic pathways and are considered to be one of the most promising targets for the prevention and treatment of cancer. In the methionine cycle pathway elevated levels of S-adenosylmethionine and deficiencies of choline and betaine all affect DNA methylation thereby increasing cancer risk. This study will briefly review the relationship between one-carbon metabolism and cancer and elucidate the role of one-carbon metabolic indicators on cancer prevention and development.

29 Vitamin D and risk of cancer a systematic review
1Wei Yaping,2Zhu Zhaoping,2Wang Bei
Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide which seriously threatens the life and health of humans. A large body of epidemiological evidence supports a role for vitamin D in the protection of cancer risk. The antitumor effect of vitamin D mainly comes from the binding of its active metabolites to receptors to perform related biological functions but the relationship varies depending on the location of the tumor. Meta-analysis has generally reported high vitamin D status is a protective factor for breast colorectal liver bladder and lung cancers OR= 0. 46-0. 92 . In addition the association of vitamin D-related gene polymorphisms with cancer and its impact on the relationship between vitamin D levels and the risk of cancer has also attracted great attention. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in vitamin D receptors and vitamin D synthesis and degradation pathways are associated with the risk of tumor development and progression. This article reviews the research progress of vitamin D metabolism its potential anti - cancer mechanisms and its relationship with the risk of different cancers and explores the relationship between vitamin D- related gene polymorphisms and different cancers so as to provide a theoretical basis for the primary prevention of cancer in the future.

37 Comparison and analysis of current trends of breast cancer in China and the United States
1Li Shuqun,2Zhang Yan,2Dang Qi
The incidence of breast cancer has shown a staggering trend in different regions globally. In terms of the rate of increase in incidence and mortality developing countries represented by China show an increasing trend while in highly developed countries like the United States there is an overall decreasing trend. We aim to illustrate the difference in incidence mortality survival rate and treatment between China and the United States through a systematical comparison and analysis. The results show that China has lower mortality in breast cancer than the United States though a higher proportion of the global incidence. China is far from a standard breast cancer screening procedure which leads to a ten-year delay in diagnosis of breast cancer in Chinese women than in American women accompanied by the advanced stage of cancer and larger tumor sizes. Chinese women are diagnosed at a more advanced stage and with larger tumors. This determines the different tendencies of the two countries regarding the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. In conclusion the successful experience of dealing with breast cancer in America shed a light on China to escape from the health public burden resulted from the occurring new cases.

42 AllergoOncology position papers interpretation
1,2Chen Lijia,1Wang Hongtian,2Wang Xueyan
AllergoOncology is a combination of allergy and oncology. The relationship between allergy and tumor has been discussed and studied decades ago. In the 1960s a negative correlation between allergy and tumor morbidity was first discovered. Since then there has been an endless stream of related researches on basic translational and clinical medicine in this field. In 2014 a Task Force on AllergoOncology was established at the European Association of Allergy and Clinical Immunology EAACI led by Professor Erika Jensen-Jarolim aiming to establish a routine platform for allergy oncology achievements. Focusing on the intersection of allergy and oncology the working group is dedicated to research on immune surveillance immune regulation and IgE-mediated tumor immune responses and has issued 5 position papers on AllergoOncology. It has promoted the transformation of the core theory of allergy into clinical practical cancer treatment and is expected to further improve the therapeutic efficacy efficacy of tumors. This article interprets the position papers of AllergoOncology from the negative correlation between allergy and tumor effectors cells and molecules and microbiota in allergy and cancer and translational strategies in AllergoOncology based on novel insights into the field of AllergoOncology.

50 Potential application of postbiotics in prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer
1Ding Chao,2Chen Mingfei,1Wang Hao
Postbiotics refer to preparation of inanimate microorganisms and / or their components that confers a health benefit on the host mainly including the components of the microorganism itself such as cell wall cellular peptides and microbial metabolites. Postbiotics have the advantages of fixed chemical structure safe and non - toxic properties due to inactivated microorganisms and longer shelf life compared to probiotics prebiotics and synbiotic products. In recent years the incidence of colorectal cancer has increased rapidly and the relationship between colorectal cancer and gut microbiota has been more studied. Gut microorganisms interact with host cells in healthy intestines modulating energy acquisition metabolism and immune response. Dysbiosis occurs when microbiota is disturbed by environment invasion of pathogenic microorganisms and other factors stimulating occurrence and development of colorectal cancer. Studies have confirmed that some postbiotics such as short chain fatty acids exopolysaccharides and tryptophan metabolites can exhibit anticancer activity through different mechanisms providing a new vision for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer but the specific clinical feasibility and treatment strategies still need to be further explored. This review focuses on the definition classification mechanism of postbiotics and its connection with colorectal cancer along with the latest research progress at home and abroad providing a theoretical basis for the application in the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer.

57 Expert consensus on anti-inflammatory diet for cancer prevention
Chinese Society of Nutritional Oncolog Community Nutrition and Health Management Branch of Chinese Nutrition Society Clinical
Tumor is a kind of malignant wasting disease which seriously threatens human life and health. Its incidence and mortality are increasing year by year. There are complex factors affecting the occurrence and development of tumors among which diet is the main preventable factor and its potential role cannot be ignored. Diet has both pro - inflammatory and anti - inflammatory properties. Long-term chronic inflammation caused by irrational diet is closely related to tumor and reduces the therapeutic effect of tumor. Scientific and reasonable diet can improve the chronic inflammation state of the body change the tumor microenvironment so as to achieve the role of preventing tumor occurrence and promoting the recovery of patients. It is of positive significance for scientific research and clinical prevention and treatment to objectively evaluate the inflammatory effect of diet on the body. Dietary inflammation index DII is a new method to evaluate individual dietary inflammatory potential which is objective convenient and reproducible. In recent years many studies have explored the relationship between DII and various tumors. This consensus using DII as the research tool summarizes the relationship between pro - inflammatory diet and the incidence of various types of tumors and proposes an anti-inflammatory dietary model for cancer prevention and treatment so as to provide prevention and adjuvant treatment strategies for cancer patients from the perspective of anti-inflammatory diet. To promote scientific and healthy eating behavior encourage residents to adjust the dietary structure and provide a new strategy for nutritional treatment of cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the targeting relationship between miR-221-5p and aldehyde dehydrogenase-1 family member A2 ALDH1A2 and its effect on proliferation migration invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation EMT of gastric cancer cells. Method Gastric cancer tissues and their adjacent normal tissues were obtained from 50 patients with gastric cancer by radical gastrectomy in Yuechi People's Hospital from July 2020 to July 2022. The cell lines cultured in vitro included human normal gastric mucosal epithelial cell line GES-1 and human gastric cancer cell lines BGC-803 AGS SGC-7901 BGC-823 and HGC-27. The expression of miR- 221- 5p and ALDH1A2 mRNA in tissues and cells was detected by qRT-PCR. The correlation between miR- 221-5p expression and clinicopathological parameters in gastric cancer was analyzed by Pearson test. The targeting regulation of miR-221-5p on ALDH1A2 was verified by bioinformatics prediction and dual luciferase experiment. HGC-27 cells were divided into control group inhibitor-NC group miR- 221 - 5p inhibitor group mimic NC group miR- 221 - 5p mimic group miR- 221 - 5p mimic + pcDNA3. 1 group and miR - 221 - 5p mimic + pcDNA3. 1 - ALDH1A2 group and the corresponding plasmids were transfected. Cell proliferation invasion migration apoptosis and cell cycle distribution were detected by MTT method clone formation test Transwell chamber test scratch test and flow cytometry respectively. The expression of EMT-related proteins in cells was analyzed by Western blot. Result The expression of miR-221-5p was significantly high in gastric cancer tissues and cells while the expression of ALDH1A2 mRNA was significantly down-regulated in gastric cancer tissues P< 0. 05 . The expression of miR- ·69· 肿瘤代谢与营养电子杂志 2023 年 2 月 9 日第 10 卷第 1 期 Electron J Metab Nutr Cancer, Feb. 9, 2023, Vol. 10, No. 1 221-5p was significantly correlated with TNM stage tumor differentiation and lymph node metastasis in patients with gastric cancer P<0. 05 . MiR-221-5p targeted inhibition of ALDH1A2 expression. Compared with anti-miR-NC group the OD value scratch healing rate E-cadherin α-catenin protein expression and the proportion of S phase cells in anti-miR-221-5p group decreased significantly while the expression level of E- cadherin and α - catenin protein and the proportion of G0 / G1 phase cells increased significantly while the number of monoclonal formation and invasion decreased significantly P<0. 05 . The miR-221-5p group of cells obtained the opposite results as described above when compared to the miR-NC group. Up-regulation of ALDH1A2 expression can reverse the effect of miR-221-5p on the malignant biological behavior of HGC-27 cells. Conclusion Overexpression of miR-221-5p may promote proliferation migration invasion EMT and cell cycle progression and inhibit apoptosis of gastric cancer cells through targeted down-regulation of ALDH1A2 expression.

1Zhou Ruiyi,1Wu Xiaocong,2Lei Yi,1Sun Jiaxue,1，2Xu Yu,1，3Wang Kunhua
Cannabidiol CBD is the main component of cannabis extract which is a non - psychoactive substance with non - addictive low toxicity and high safety. CBD has shown unique advantages in tumor therapy and is being used on refractory epilepsy. Its mechanisms include as follows. ① Inducing cell cycle arrest and inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. ② Promoting tumor cell apoptosis through increasing ROS levels in tumor cells inducing mitochondrial dysfunction regulates Bcl-2 family proteins and inhibiting IAP family protein function. ③ Inhibiting tumor cell migration and invasion. ④ In conjunction with other anti - cancer therapies to exert a stronger anti-tumor effect. ⑤Relieve tumor-related symptoms such as pain anxiety and depression. ⑥It may play a role in regulating the tumor microenvironment. CBD has shown good anti - tumor properties in various tumor treatments and is expected to be used as a new tumor treatment drug in clinical practic. At present clinical trials related to CBD and cancer treatment mainly focus on analgesic treatment for patients with advanced tumors and its direct therapeutic effect still needs further clinical trials.

149 The research advance on the interaction between malnutrition and Alzheimer's disease
Jiang Jiwei, Li Wenyi, Jiang Shirui, Wang Linlin, Ren Qiwei, Xu Jun
Alzheimer􀆶 s disease AD an aging - related neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of dementia in the elderly represents sharply escalating challenge to public health management. The underlying mechanisms of AD are uncertain which causes the optimal strategies to delay or even prevent the disease progression yet to be established. Over the past two decades clinical trials of single-agent drugs targeting amyloid-beta and tau pathologies have frequently failed to cure AD suggesting that as a complex brain disease with multiple causes and pathological mechanisms AD should be paid attention to multi-dimensional prevention and treatment. In recent years gut-microbiota connecting with the central nervous system through bidirectional communication with aging immune and metabolic pathways has become a hot mechanism for AD. As the most direct and extensive environmental factor affecting gut microbiota dietary nutrition can affect AD related cognitive symptoms through behavioural genetic systemic immune metabolic and vascular factors which provides new insights into comprehensive multi - targeted intervention strategies of AD. Despite accumulating knowledge the understanding of nutrition and AD is still insufficient and current research evidence is mostly limited to preliminary small samples and various dementia types. Whether malnutrition is a risk factor/ cause of AD or the result of AD-related cognitive or psychobehavioral symptoms remain unclear. Thus this review summarizes the evidence in the past decade on the cause of malnutrition in AD patients and malnutrition risking the onset and progression of AD emphasizing knowledge gaps and providing direction for clinical diagnosis and treatment of AD and further exploration.

155 Investigation of mechanisms of phytochemicals to counteract tumor invasion and metastasis a review
1Zhu Jiayu,1Cao Peilian,2Wang Shu'an
Malignant tumors are caused by the malignant growth of cells which seriously endanger human health and threaten life. Most deaths from malignant tumors are caused by tumor invasion and metastasis. Through the invasion-metastasis cascade IMC tumor cells are transferred from the primary focus to distant tissues and successfully colonized. IMC is a complex process involving multiple factors and steps. Multiple signal pathways can promote tumor invasion and metastasis. Phytochemicals have been proved to block tumor invasion and metastasis by inhibiting the formation of these signal pathways. Epithelial mesenchymal transformation EMT in the IMC process will strengthen tumor drug resistance and radiation resistance. Because of the mutual promotion between tumor invasion and metastasis with drug and radiation resistance and the shortcomings of large side effects and poor effects of anti-tumor therapy it is urgent to find safe and effective drugs with anti - tumor invasion and metastasis and radiochemotherapy sensitization effect. Studies have shown that phytochemicals have a variety of biological activities. If they are used alone or in combination with anti-tumor therapy they can inhibit tumor invasion and metastasis reduce the toxicity of anti - tumor therapy and improve the radiochemotherapy sensitivity. The purpose of this article is to review the current status and developments of phytochemicals as an anti signal pathway in inhibiting IMC antitumor invasion and anti-metastasis therapy in recent years in order to provide ideas for future research on anti-tumor invasion and metastasis of phytochemicals.
