Per capita foods/nutrients intake and mortality from gastrointestinal cancers in Japan.

Analytical epidemiologic studies are less effective when dietary habits are homogenous within a population. For that reason, we performed chronological and spatial correlation analyses between mortality from stomach and large intestinal cancers and various foods/nutrients intakes. The age-adjusted death rates (AADRs) for male colon cancer were strongly associated with the population size and those for female colon cancer and male rectal cancer were weakly associated with the population size, but the AADRs for stomach cancer in both sexes and those for female rectal cancer were not associated. From 1969-71 to 1981-83, the AADRs for stomach and female rectal cancers decreased and the AADRs for colon and male rectal cancers increased. With an increasing population size and from the earlier period to the recent period, the intakes of western-style fat-rich foods such as butter & margarine, cheese and ham & sausage increased and those of rice, fish and some traditional Japanese foods decreased. The results of geographical correlation analyses were generally consistent with the results from the urban-rural variations. The chronological correlation analyses suggested that stomach cancer might be associated with Japanese-style dietary habits after almost no lag time and colon cancer might be associated with westernized dietary habits after a lag time of about 10 years.

Guns and/or Butter: The Relationship between the Economy and the Military

SUMMARY The relationship between military expenditure and economic performance is a complex one, changing over time. At this historical juncture — especially for the UK and the USA — the evidence suggests that the net impact of military expenditure is negative. Although there are important technological spin‐offs, these appear to be more than outweighed by their opportunity cost and the distortion of R & D. Military expenditure, because of its capital and import intensity and its use of scarce skills, also serves as a poor Keynesian pump primer. The prospects of ‘conversion’ are, however, constrained by the close political and economic meshing between military contractors, the defence establishment and political interest groups. SOMMAIRE Des fusils et/ou du beurre: Les rapports entre l'economie et le militaire Le rapport entre la depense militaire et la performance economique est tres complexe, toujours changeant. A ce point de rencontre historique — surtout pour le Royaume Uni et les Etats Unis — l'evidence suggere que l'impact net de la depense militaire est negatif. Quoiqu'il y ait d'importants derivatifs technologiques, ceux‐ci sont largement depasses par leur cout et leur distortion. La depense militaire, a cause du capital et de l'intensite de l'importation et de son pauvre usage de competence, montre un bien pauvre exemple Keynesien. Les perspectives de ‘conservation’ sont, toutefois, restreintes par le filet serre politique et economique existant entre les entrepreneurs militaires, l'administration de la defence et les groupes d'interet politiques. RESUMEN Canones y/o mantequilla: relacion entre la economia y lo militar La relacion entre gasto militar y comportamiento economico es muy compleja y cambia a traves del tiempo. En la coyuntura historica presente — especialmente para el Reino Unido y los EEUU — la evidencia indica que el impacto neto del gasto militar es negativo. Aun cuando tiene importantes ventajas tecnologicas estas parecieran estar contrarrestadas por la perdida de mejores oportunidades de inversion y por la distorcion provocada en investigacion y desarrollo. Debido a que requiere capitales e importaciones intensivos y destrezas especializadas escasas, el gasto militar es un pobre estimulo para la economia en el sentido keynesiano. Las posibilidades de ‘conversion’ estan restringidas por la intima interrelacion politica y economica entre los contratistas militares, el ‘sistema’ de defensa y los grupos de intereses politicos.

Host defenses in the neonate: prospects for enhancement.

Abstract The phagocytes won't eat microbes unless the microbes are nicely buttered for them. Well, the patient manufactures the butter for himself all right; but my discovery is that the manufacture of that butter, which I call opsonin, goes in the system by ups and downs. There is at bottom only one genuinely scientific treatment for all diseases, and that is to stimulate the phagocytes .

Marketing premium milk and products for specialist groups

The problems faced by the producers of Channel Islands premium‐quality milk in maintaining their market share are considerable. To counteract a fall in liquid milk sales on the doorstep. there have been increased sales in cartons through supermarkets where a separate product identity can be established. New product types with the Gold Top image have been developed and successfully marketed: frozen double cream, UHT semi‐skimmed milk and dairy ice creams containing butter fat from Channel Islands milk. An unsalted butter gave keeping quality problems, but it is hoped that improved raw milk quality control will allow the product to be re‐introduced.

Cholesterol absorption during bile acid feeding

Abstract We studied the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) administration (15 mg/kg/day) on cholesterol absorption in 11 volunteers. Cholesterol absorption was estimated by feeding a standard dose of cholesterol, dissolved in butter, containing 5 μCi of [ 14 C]cholesterol and 10 μCi of [ 3 H]sitosterol (as a nonabsorbable marker). Feces were then collected for 5–6 days. Cholesterol absorption with β-sitosterol, corrected for losses not due to absorption, was estimated from the recovered radioactivity. After 20 days of treatment with UDCA, the study was repeated with each patient acting as his own control. Cholesterol saturation of bile and biliary bile acid composition were also studied before and after treatment. UDCA was virtually undetectable in bile before treatment, but became the most abundant bile acid (42.0 ± 17.2% of the total) after treatment. Although the molar percentage of cholesterol in bile fell in each patient after treatment, bile saturation critically depended on the criteria adopted to calculate the saturation index. Mean cholesterol absorption was 36.7 ± 9.3% of the administered dose in basal conditions and fell to 17.5 ± 11.3% (48% decrement) after treatment (P
