Chemoprevention is the use of natural or synthetic substances to prevent、suppress or to reverse the development of colorectal cancer.Aspirin and cox-2 inhibitor are the most effective preventive agents.However,the gastrointestinal and cardiovascular adverse effects limit the application.Recurrent adenomas can be markedly reduced by a combination of difluoromethylornithine and sulinclac and with few side effects.5-aminosalicylate and ursodeoxycholic acid have become the focus of inflammatory bowel disease.The double roles of folate need further study.Statins and EGFR inhibitors have some effects,which are in early clinical studies.The article reviews the new progress of chemoprevention of colorectal cancer.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a kind of pluripotent stem cells derived from bone marrows, which can not only support hematopoiesis, but also have capabilities of multidifferentiation, high-proliferation and self-renewing. They have become one of hotspots in stem cell studies. Studies on in vitro intervention with BMSCs with TCMs have made remarkable progress in recent years. According to the findings, some traditional Chinese medicines can promote proliferation of BMSCs, some can inhibit the apoptosis of BMSCs, while others can induce BMSCs to differentiate into multiple cell types, such as osteoblast. Furthermore, some studies also involved relevant action mechanisms. The authors summarized the advance in relevant studies by reference to relevant literatures of this field.

Objective To study the relationship between pedometer-based daily physical activity and obesity measurements in adult male leaders living in countryside.Methods A total of 136 men who received routine health screening were measured for body weight,body mass index (BMI),waist circumstance,and total body fat.Daily walking activities were determined by pedometer for 7 days.Results Ⅰ to Ⅱ grade walking activities was found in 58% participants.Daily physical activities were negatively correlated with body weight,waist circumference,BMI and total body fat.Body weight,waist circumference,BMI and total body fat were almost normal when walking activities increased to Ⅲ grade.Only 7% of the subjects participated in exercises.Conclusion Pedometer-based daily physical activities may be significantly correlated with obesity arameters.Increased walking activities will help to loss weight.

Objective　In order to find out influencing factors of corrosiveness of common chemical disinfectants used at present for medical instruments on varied metal material, and to offer scientific bases for working -out corresponding state standards. Methods　Liquid instruments disinfectants containing chlorine and glutaraldehyde compound disinfectant were chose to take an example to study their corrosiveness to varied sorts and type s of the metal. Sing le related factors were researched by contrast test study in the process of dete rmining metal corrosion rate (R value, mm*a-1) citing from GB10124-88 me thod. Results　Varied chemical disinfectants had different metal R valu e. R value was in fluenced by kinds of metal pieces, sorts of soaked vessel material, drying tempe rature, whether changing liquid disinfectants or not and water quality, while d ifferent capacity of balance measure had no effect on R value. Concl usi ons　R value was affected by kinds and types of metal pieces and other factors. These fac tors should be considered sufficiently while determining or comparing corrosiven ess of chemical disinfectants to soaked metal.

Xenotransplantation is a feasibility way of solving the shortage of human organs for transplantation. Although it is urgently needed to satisfy the demand of people and sustain the function of human organs, there are multiple hurdles existed to clinical application, such as the immune rejection between human body and the xenografts, the infection of pathogens and a series of ethic, morality and social issues. A historical retrospect of xenotransplantation was given, and then probe into the strategies according to the main problems and the actualities. Finally, the prospect in the field of xenotransplantation was showed.

Objective To study the clinical characters,diagnosis and principles of treatmentof acute pancreatitis during pregnancy.Methods Forty-eight cases of acute pancreatitis during pregnancy treated in the recent 8 years were retrospectively analyzed,38 cases had non-surgical treatment(of which 36 cases were cured);10 cases had surgical treatment to remove necrotic tissue and mainly termination of pregnancy.Results Most of the cases in this group had simple pancreatitis,which accounted for 64.58%(31/48).There were 5 cases of maternal(10.42%) death and three cases of fetal(6.25%) death,and all were in patients with severe pancreatitis.Fatality rate of pregnant women with severe pancreatitis was 29.41%.Conclusions Acute pancreatitis during pregnancy is a serious disease with low prevalence rate,but has high fatality rate,and is the primary cause of death in acute abdomen of pregnancy.Nonoperative treatment is the first choice of treatment in this condition.In severe cases,timely surgical intervention is warranted,and the surgical indications should not be altered because of the pregnancy.The safety of both the pregnant woman and the fetus must simultaneously be kept into mind during therapy.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is commonly used in treating liver diseases worldwide, especially in China. The advantages of using TCM for treatment of liver diseases include: protecting hepatocytes, inhibiting hepatic inflammation and antifibrosis in the liver. In this article, we introduce TCM herbal preparations from the Chinese materia medica (such as Fuzheng Huayu) that are typically used for the treatment of liver diseases. Literature surrounding the mechanisms of TCM therapy for treatment of liver diseases is presented and discussed. We propose that side effects of herbal compounds are often under-appreciated, and that more care should be taken in the prescription of potentially hepatotoxic medicines. Further, to deepen the understanding of TCM mechanisms, new techniques and methodologies must be developed. Future studies will lead to the enhancement of clinical outcomes of TCM. As complementary and alternative therapies, TCMs will play an expanding role in the future of liver disease treatment.
