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.

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.

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.

Optic neuritis is one of the most important neuro-ophthalmologic diseases which cause vision loss in young adults. There are obvious differences in the prevalence of optic neuritis in different countries and regions. Through the review of the related literature at home and abroad in recent years, this article summarizes the etiology and epidemiological characteristics of optic neuritis. lt is expected to provide reference and comparison for the epidemiological investigation of cross regional, multi-center cooperation.

AIM:To observe the clinical effect of femtosecond laser assisted penetrating keratoplasty.
METHODS: Twenty-four cases ( 24 eyes ) with corneal lesions were performed with femtosecond laser assisted penetrating keratoplasty. Preoperative and postoperative endothelial cell density and visual quality were compared.RESULTS: One week after operation, corneal grafts were clear in 21 eyes (87. 5%), mild cloudy in 3 eyes (12.5%);visual acuity ≥0. 5 in 18 eyes (75. 0%), 0. 2 ~0.4 in 6 eyes ( 25. 0%). After 3mo the mean corneal astigmatism was 2. 16±0. 21D ( range 2. 25 ~ 3. 09D). Compared to conventional penetrating keratoplasty which mean corneal astigmatism was average 3. 67±0. 38D after operation, there was significant difference between two groups ( P< 0. 05 ). There were significant differences between preoperative and postoperative visual acuity and astigmatism (both P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Femtosecond laser assisted penetrating corneal transplantation operation can improve patient's visual quality. And compared to traditional penetrating keratoplasty astigmatism decreased significantly, incision can be made in individual shape more precisely and neatly.

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 role of glucocorticoid (GC) in treating patients with cyto- megalovirus (CMV) pneumonia following renal transplantation.Methods There were 75 cases CMV pneumonia following renal transplantation during one month (3 cases),2-6 months (64 cases) and more than 6 months (8 cases).All patients were subjected to the comprehensive treatments including anti-virus therapy.In 47 cases,GC was given (GC group),and in the rest 28 cases,GC was not administered (non-GC group).Results In GC group,40 cases (85.1%) were cured and there were 7 deaths (14.9%).In non-GC group,17 cases (60.7%) were cured and there were 11 deaths (39.3%).There was significant difference between two groups (P
