ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize the processing technology for Radix Puerariae simmered with wheat bran.Methods Orthogonal experiment L9(34) was chosen to optimize the technology. The external properties of Radix Puerariae simmered by wheat bran, the content of puerarin and the antidiarrheal effect on mice with diarrhea caused by folium sennae were used as indexes. Comprehensive weighted score was employed to optimize simmering Radix Puerariae with wheat bran technology.Results Processing time was the main affecting factor, while processing temperature had no significant effect. The optimum processing parameters were 100 g Radix Puerariae simmered with 30 g wheat bran at 160℃ for 2 minutes.Conclusion The optimum processing technology was simple and convenient, and with good reproducibility and operability. It is also helpful for the quality control of Radix Puerariae simmered with wheat bran.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the cervical cancer incidence and mortality in cancer registries of Zhejiang province during 2000 to 2009.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The data of cervical cancer incidence and mortality were collected from six cancer registries in Zhejiang province. Staff of Zhejiang Provincial Cancer Prevention and Control Office checked, sorted and analyzed the data to calculate crude, standardized rate and trend. Chinese census in 1982 and Segi's population were used for age-standardized incidence and mortality rates.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The incidence rate of cervical cancer in Zhejiang cancer registration areas was 11.78/100 000 during 2000 to 2009, and age-standardized incidence rates by Chinese standard population and by world standard population were 7.05/100 000 and 8.62/100 000, respectively. The mortality rate was 1.89/100 000, and age-standardized mortality rates by Chinese standard population and by world standard population were 0.95/100 000 and 1.23/100 000, respectively. The age-specific incidence rates showed different trends, increased significantly after the age of 25, peaked at 45-year-old group, which was 23.03/100 000 (578/2 510 099) , and decreased at the age of 50, while the age-specific mortality rates gentlely increased, peaked at 85 years of age group, which was 11.94/100 000 (33/276 414) . The cervical Cancer Incidence from 5.96/100 000 (86/1 443 589) in 2000, increased to 18.90/100 000 (898/4 751 426) in 2009, the annual percent change (APC) was 16.64% (95%CI:11.87%-21.61%). The mortality showed a gentle upward trend from 1.45/100 000 (21/1 443 589) , increased to 2.53/100 000 (120/4 751 426) in 2009, the APC was 6.63% (95%CI:1.73%-11.77%).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Cervical cancer showed younger trend, the incidence and mortality trends showed an increasing trend, should strengthen the prevention and control of cervical cancer.</p>

ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effects of soybean isoflavone (SI) on metabolism of lipids and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] in ovariectomized rats . Methods:Senventy female Sprague- Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 7 groups according to the levels of total cholesterol (TC) in serum: high-lipid (HF) group, estrogen (EG) group, low-dose SI (L-SI) group, middle-dose SI (M-SI) group, high-dose SI (H-SI) group, sham group and normal control (NC) group. One week after bilateral ovaries were extirpated, except sham and NC group, estrogen, different doses of SI or deionized water were fed i.g. for 12 w. Except NC group, the other groups were fed high fat diet. Body weights were weighed every week and blood and heart were collected at the end of experiment. The serum TC, triglyceride(TG), high or low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C, LDL-C), Lp (a), and antioxidative enzymes activities were assayed. Results:After SI intervention, the levels of LDL-C in SI groups were significantly lower than in HF group but higher than in NC group. The levels of Lp (a) were also changed, but there was almost no effect on HDL-C. Persistent intervention with SI can reduce TC, TG , and protect cadiocyte’s actin filament andmitochondrial ultramicrostructure from damage as shown in HF group. The ultramicroscopic pictures in EG and H-SI group almost resembled NC group. Conclusion:Persistent intervention of high-dose SI can reduce the levels of LDL-C, TC, TG and protect the myocardiac damages due to high fat diet in ovariectomized rats.
