TAKING INTO ACCOUNT AGE, SEX, GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION, OBESITY, AND ASSOCIATED CAUSE OF DEATH, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT: (1) the extent of aortic calcification was much lower in cerebral haemorrhage than in cerebral infarct. In deaths due to cerebral haemorrhage aortic calcification was at about the same level as in those due to cancer of the stomach, while in deaths due to cerebral infarct it was at the same level as in those due to coronary heart disease; (2) the prevalence of large myocardial scar was low in deaths due to cerebral haemorrhage (at about the same level as in those due to prostatic cancer), while in deaths due to cerebral infarct it was more frequent (at the same level as in deaths due to diabetes); (3) the extent of coronary calcification and prevalence of coronary stenosis and fresh myocardial infarction were low in the cerebral haemorrhage and cerebral infarct deaths, but a little lower in the former; and (4) the extent of raised lesions of the aorta and coronary arteries was similar in the cerebral haemorrhage and cerebral infarct deaths, the level of aortic lesions being high and overlapping in level with those in the coronary heart disease and hypertensive deaths, and the levels of coronary lesions being much lower and well below those in the coronary and diabetic hypertensive deaths.

The records of 132 patients participating in clinical trials using fast neutron (n = 94), mixed neutron and photon (n = 16), or conventional photon (n = 22) irradiation for primary management of prostatic cancer were retrospectively reviewed to assess treatment-related neurological complications. With a median follow-up of 14 months (range 1 to 101 months), 31/132 patients (26 neutron, 3 mixed beam, 2 photon) have experienced either sciatica beginning during or shortly after treatment, or diminished bladder or bowel continence that developed at a median time of 6.5 months following treatment. Sciatica responded to oral steroids and was usually self-limited, whereas sphincter dysfunction appears to be permanent. Pre-treatment risk factors for complications included a history of hypertension, diabetes, cigarette smoking or peripheral vascular disease, with 81% of affected patients having one or more risk factors compared with 55% of unaffected patients (p = 0.01). Seven patients have moderate (5) or severe (2) residual problems, all in the cohorts receiving neutrons (6/7) or mixed beam therapy (1/7).

Lipoprotein metabolism was studied by analyses of apolipoproteins, cholesterol content in lipoproteins and electrophoresis. The findings obtained suggested that the apolipoprotein levels such as A1 and B are related with particle number of lipoproteins such as HDL and LDL, while cholesterol content in lipoproteins is affected by qualitative change in particles as well. In patients with diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), LDL cholesterol correlated with HbA1c, and cholesterol and apolipoprotein B in the beta-area on electrophoresis showed accelerated mobilities, which were mimicked by in vitro glycation of LDL. In coronary heart diseases, elevation of apolipoprotein B and a low level of HDL cholesterol were general findings. The B/A1 ratio could be a sensitive indicator for these diseases. Hyper HDL cholesterolemias, excluding the patients with prostatic cancer who had undergone estrogen-treatment, showed elevated levels of apolipoprotein E in alpha 2-area on electrophoresis. Heterogeneity in Hyper HDL cholesterolemia was implicated. Qualitative analysis of lipoproteins by our method is believed to be useful.

A 84-year-old man was admitted with palpitation, edema of legs and anemia during a long course of diabetes mellitus, prostatic hypertrophy and prostatic cancer. He revealed purpura on the hands and massive microhematuria. He had received antibiotic therapy for a urinary tract infection for a period of time, but he had no history of hemorrhagic tendency or blood transfusion. Coagulation studies showed the prolongation of whole blood clotting time and PT (prothrombin time). Activity of factor V was 14% of that normal control plasma. The titer of factor V inhibitor was 4.9 Bethesda units/ml. The inhibitor of the patient was supposed to belong to IgA and IgG judging from inhibitor neutralization test. PT was improved after discontinuance of administration of antibiotics and administration of azathioprine. Moreover, even after administration of prednisolone with antibiotics, PT and activity of factor V recovered to normal range. He died from respiratory failure. Autopsy revealed double cancer of prostate and descending colon. The appearance of factor V inhibitor was likely caused by antibiotics, double cancer, and age-related immune disorders.

The authors studied the association between heart disease and prostatic cancer in Rancho Bernardo, California, from August 1972 to June 1987. During a 14-year follow-up of 1,776 men aged 50-84 years, 100 cases of prostatic cancer were identified, of which 54 were incident. Systolic blood pressure, cigarette smoking, and plasma cholesterol levels in cases did not differ from those in noncases. After adjustment for age and on multivariate analysis, incident cases of prostatic cancer had a nonsignificantly higher frequency of reported heart disease at baseline. History of diabetes was inversely associated with total prostatic cancer (age-adjusted estimated relative risk = 0.2, 90% confidence interval: 0.0-0.8; multivariate-adjusted relative risk = 0.3, 90% confidence interval: 0.1-1.0). The association between heart disease and prostatic cancer is compatible with diagnostic detection bias. The inverse association between diabetes and prostatic cancer is compatible with a cancer-promoting role for endogenous testosterone, the level of which is lower in diabetics, or a risk-reducing effect of antidiabetic diet or drug therapy.

Various tumoral diseases may induce hypophosphataemic osteomalacia. This is the case, in particular, with mesenchymal tumours and sclerosing metastases of prostatic cancer; much less common causes are diffuse connective tissue dysplasias and non-prostatic epitheliomas. Depending on whether osteomalacia results from a mesenchymal tumour or from osteitis of prostatic origin, the practical problems encountered are quite different. In the first case, the important point is not to miss a mesenchymal tumour when confronted with an acquired and apparently idiopathic hypophosphataemia; repeated examinations at regular intervals are sometimes necessary to detect the tumour which is usually benign; osteomalacia can then be cured by its removal. In the second case, the difficulty is to detect an osteomalacia which may be masked by bone metastases and to recognize its tubular origin in order to prescribe the appropriate treatment. Little is known about the pathogenesis of tumoral hypophosphataemic osteomalacia. The renal diabetes and low 1,25 (OH)2 D plasma levels frequently associated with the disease reflect a complex enzymatic disorder thought to be caused by a humoral mediator secreted by the tumour. Studies carried out in this field have already shown that 1,25 (OH)2 D is therapeutically useful when the tumour cannot be excised.

This report reviews, contrasts, and illustrates previously published findings from a cohort of 27,529 California Seventh-day Adventist adults who completed questionnaires in 1960 and were followed for mortality between 1960 and 1980. Within this population, meat consumption was positively associated with mortality because of all causes of death combined (in males), coronary heart disease (in males and females), and diabetes (in males). Egg consumption was positively associated with mortality because of all causes combined (in females), coronary heart disease (in females), and cancers of the colon (in males and females combined) and ovary. Milk consumption was positively associated with only prostate cancer mortality, and cheese consumption did not have a clear relationship with any cause of death. The consumption of meat, eggs, milk, and cheese did not have negative associations with any of the causes of death investigated.

In order to test the hypothesis that Roman Catholic priests are at low risk for prostatic cancer because of their celibacy, a cohort of 10,026 men who were active or retired diocesan (parish) Roman Catholic priests in the United States on January 1, 1949 were followed until death, leaving the priesthood, or January 1, 1978. The overall standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was 103 and the SMR for cancer of the prostate was 81. Other interesting findings include increased SMRs for cancer of the larynx (147), cirrhosis of the liver (147), and diabetes (182) and decreased SMRs for lung cancer (59), emphysema (26), and suicide (13).

Although no absolute certainty exists about the role of nutrition in the etiology of cancer, many facts in favor of the relationship became available during the last decades. Correlation studies, experimental work and to a lesser extent case-control studies made it possible to clarify the role of certain nutrients and foods in carcinogenesis. The most important cancer sites where nutrition could play a role are esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, prostate and breast. Esophageal cancer is of a very complex etiology, in which alcohol intake plays an important role, at least in western countries. The cancer-promoting properties of alcohol intake are enhanced by smoking. Three factors from nutrition are probably related to stomach cancer, namely salt, nitrate/nitrite and vitamin C. Salt is caustic to the stomach mucosa, resulting in atrophic gastritis. Salt is also co-carcinogenic and stomach cancer-promoting in experimental animals. Nitrate is probably important at the stage of atrophic gastritis, where bacterial overgrowth, due to the high pH, converts nitrates in nitrites, making the loco synthesis possible of potent nitrosocarcinogens. Vitamin C inhibits the latter step. The epidemiological evidence for the role of those factors is provided. The most important among them is the strong and consistent association of stomach cancer mortality with stroke. Rectum, colon, prostate and breast cancer are related in some way to fat intake. They all seem positively related to saturated fat intake, whereas breast cancer is probably also promoted by polyunsaturated fat intake. However, polyunsaturated fat seems to be without effect on rectum cancer. Colon and prostate cancer are probably also influenced by polyunsaturated fat but to a lesser degree than breast cancer. An important argument for this are the positive ecological correlations between changes in rectum, colon and breast cancer mortality from 1968 on, and changes occurring in coronary heart diseases, stroke and diabetes mortality. Those six types of mortality are decreasing, or only slightly increasing in the USA, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, etc. They are strongly increasing in East European countries. The intake of saturated fat has generally decreased in the first group of countries, and has markedly increased in the second group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

In a prospective study, mortality ratios were computed in relation to overweight, cancer, and other diseases. The study included 750 000 men and women followed for 12 years. Each person was given a weight index. Death rates for overweight and underweight persons were compared with rates for persons of average weight. Men who were 40% or more overweight had a mortality ratio for cancer of 1.33; women, 1.55. This ratio was much lower than that for coronary heart disease (men, 1.95; and women, 2.07); diabetes (5.19 and 7.90), and digestive diseases (3.99 and 2.29). Overweight men had significantly higher mortality ratios for colorectal and prostate cancer; overweight women had much higher rates for cancer of the endometrium, gall bladder, and cervix; and also significantly higher rates for ovary and breast cancer.
