A population-based case-control study of the colorectal cancer was conducted in Shanghai (1988-1990). The contributions of diet and nutrients as risk factors of colon cancer were reported in a previously paper (1990). The study involved 575 incident cases of rectal cancer and 1400 controls at age range from 30-70.The study showed that increased consumption of cruciferous vegetables (Veg), fresh beans, fresh fruits, garlic, sea weeds and Veg oil were inversely related to the risk of rectal cancer. The intake of pork elevated the risk. Dietary fiber, vitamin C and carotene, independent of other nutrients, had the protective effect against developing rectal cancer. The intakes of several lipids, including total fat, saturated, mono-unsaturated, polyunsatura-ted,oleic, linoleic, and linolcnic,were slightly related with the risk of the cancer. Cholesterol significantly decreased the risk for females and had a significant linear trend. Investigation of nutrients revealed that ?-tocopherol and FOCC (fatty acid of odd carbon chain) decreased the relative risk for females. Analyses compared with other studies carried out in the Western countries (high incidence areas) showed that there may be a difference in risk factors of rectal cancer in diet between the Eastern countries (low incidence areas) and the West.

1. The blood supply of the tensor fascia lata myocutaneous free flap comes chiefly from the ascending branch of the lateral circumflex artery (76.74%) or its ascending and the transverse branches (23.26%). In most cases the ascending branch may be served as the vascular pedicle of myocutaneous free flap in transplatation. In a few cases the transverse branch my be used instead of the ascending one.2. The projection of the origin of the lateral circumflx artery on the body surface is at a point averaging 96.5mm below, and 49.2mm medial to the anterior superior iliac spine. This point is the surface landmark of the lateral circumflex artery. 3. The branches of the lateral circumflex artery may be classified into four types. Type 1—32 cases, 74.42%; Type Ⅱ—3 cases, 6.98%; Type Ⅲ—7 cases, 16.28%; Type Ⅳ—1 cases, 2.33%.4. The tensor fascia lata is chiefly supplied by the ascending branch of the lateral circumflex artery, it divides into a short superior and a long inferior twigs. Both twigs enter the muscle and form abundant anastomoses in the subcutaneus tissues. In order to reduce the thick ness of the free flap for the use in plastics, the superior twig with its supplying muscle is cut away and the inferior one's left to supply myocutaneus flap.5. The angle between the ascending branch and the inner surface of the tensor fasca lata varies between 44? to 120?, with an average of 66.5?. The original angle must be kept in transplantation, which favours the survival of the myocutaneus free flap.

Methods A multi- center, randomized, double- blind, positive- controlled, parallel group trial was designed. A total of 240 cases, which were diagnosed with influenza and classified as the syndrome of toxic heat invading lung, aged from 18 to 50 years old, with body temperature over 38.0 ℃ and disease course with 48 hours, was recruited. The intent- to- treat infected (ITTI) population was 152 cases , among which 76 were treated with LHQC (4 capsules thrice daily for 3 days) and other 76 with Lingyang Ganmao Capsules (2 capsules thrice daily for 3 days). Results In the ITTI population, the effective rate for subsiding fever was 71.1 % and 53.9 % (P=0.029), and that for relieving TCM symptoms was 73.7 % and 55.3 % (P=0.018) in LHQC group and Lingyang Ganmao Capsules group, respectively. A safety analysis was conducted in 233 cases. No adverse action was found in LHQC group while two adverse events (allergic dermatitis and diarrhea) in Lingyang Ganmao Capsules group. Conclusion Early application of LHQC is effective and safe in treating infuenza.

Objective To establish a drug-resistance cell line of human glioma with temozolomide ( TMZ) ,investigate its resistance mechanisms, and provide experimental evidence for optimal TMZ therapy. Methods A TMZ-resistant human glioma cell line,U251/TR,was established by stepwise exposure of human parental U251 cells to TMZ. Resistance index and cell viability were accessed by MTT assay. Western-Blot,RT-PCR,immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to detect MGMT expression for the analysis of resistance mechanism. Results A TMZ-resistant human glioma cell line,U251/TR,was developed after 8 months of stepwise induction with 0. 25-16. 00 μg·mL-1 TMZ. IC50 in U251/TR cells was approximately 7 times higher compared with that in U251 cells (P=0. 00 ). The MGMT expression was significantly increased in U251/TR cells compared with that in parental U251 cells (P=0. 00) . Conclusion A TMZ-resistant human glioma cell line,U251/TR,was established by stepwise exposure of human parental U251 cells to TMZ. The primary mechanism of TMZ resistance is associated with increased activity of MGMT.
