| Title: Tea consumption : fluid intake and bladder cancer risk in Southern Taiwan .
| | Author: Lu CM Lan SJ Lee YH Huang JK Huang CH Hsieh CC .
| | Journal: Urology Citation: V : 54 ( 5 ) P : 823-8 Year: 1999 Type: ARTICLE | | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub10565741 Accession (PMID): 10565741 | | Abstract: OBJECTIVES : To determine whether tea consumption and intake of other beverages increases bladder cancer risk .
METHODS : A case-control study was conducted in Kaohsiung , Taiwan between August 1996 and June 1997 .
Index patients studied were consecutive patients with histologically confirmed , newly diagnosed bladder cancer in two major hospitals .
For each patient , 4 controls were selected from patients with non-neoplastic and nonurologic diseases undergoing surgical operations in the same hospital and individually matched by sex , age , and date of admission .
Using a structured questionnaire , a trained interviewer interviewed 40 patients and 160 controls .
Conditional logistic regression analysis adjusting for ethnicity , family history , and smoking status and matching variables were used to estimate the odds ratio ( OR ) and 95% confidence interval ( CI ) .
RESULTS : Tea consumption overall was associated with increased bladder cancer risk ( OR 3 . 29 , 95% CI 1 . 34 to 8 . 05 ) .
Compared with non-tea drinkers , the odds ratios of bladder cancer for oolong tea drinkers was 3 . 00 ( 95% CI 1 . 20 to 7 . 47 ) ; for non-oolong tea drinkers ( black and/or other green tea ) , it was 14 . 86 ( 95% CI 2 . 13 to 103 . 83 ) .
The risk was greater among those who began to drink tea before age 40 ( OR 9 . 50 , 95% CI 2 . 39 to 37 . 75 ) and those who had been drinking tea for more than 30 years ( OR 17 . 75 , 95% CI 3 . 00 to 105 . 17 ) .
Coffee , tap water , and alcohol consumption were associated with a slightly increased risk , and both soy juice and rice juice consumption were associated with reduced risk ; none of these odds ratio estimates were statistically significant , however .
CONCLUSIONS : Our results suggest that tea consumption is associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer .

| Title: The adsorption of Congo red and vacuum pump oil by rice hull ash .
| | Author: Chou KS Tsai JC Lo CT .
| | Journal: Bioresour . Technol . Citation: V : 78 ( 2 ) P : 217-9 Year: 2001 Type: ARTICLE | | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub11333045 Accession (PMID): 11333045 | | Abstract: Rice hull ash ( RHA ) of large surface area was obtained by acid wash and then calcination at 600 degrees C for 4 h .
The white ash was then mixed with kaolin and starch to make pellet adsorbents with reasonable strength to be utilized in a packed column .
Both ash and pellet samples showed good adsorption capacities toward the organic substances in wastewater .
Furthermore , the surface nature of the white ash and pellet adsorbent could be modified through either hydration or esterification reactions .
Corresponding changes in silanol concentrations were successfully correlated to changes in adsorption capacity toward either Congo red or vacuum pump oil molecules . | Matching Sentences:

A new method for rapid determination of kalium was developed .
The samples were grinded and then made into agar suspension .
NaCl solution was added to an appropriate amount of suspension for eliminating ionijation interference , and test solution prepared .
The test solution was injected into air-acetylene flame .
The working curve method was used for the determination .
Results were consistent with those obtained by ashing method .
RSD < 3 . 0% .
Relative error of the two methods was less than +/- 1 . 8% .
The t-test showed that no difference was found .
This method is convenient , rapid and accurate . | Matching Sentences:

| Title: An outbreak of food-borne illness due to methomyl contamination .
| | Author: Tsai MJ Wu SN Cheng HA Wang SH Chiang HT .
| | Journal: J Toxicol . Clin . Toxicol . Citation: V : 41 ( 7 ) P : 969-73 Year: Type: ARTICLE | | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub14705843 Accession (PMID): 14705843 | | Abstract: BACKGROUND : On December 26 , 2002 , 124 dinners took ill while eating lunch at a seafood restaurant in the town of Chiching in Kaohsiung municipality of Taiwan .
Sixty-nine people were sent to the emergency departments of the Municipal Chiching Hospital and Yuans General Hospital METHODS : We analyzed the clinical symptoms , detailed food history , and ingested amount of each food from 59 hospitalized adult patients and identified the source of the outbreak .
RESULTS : The median latency period from beginning eating to first symptoms was 5 min .
Twenty-six symptoms and signs were recorded .
The most commonly reported clinical effects were general weakness ( 84% ) , ataxia ( 82% ) , dizziness ( 82% ) , vomiting ( 80% ) , sweating ( 75% ) , floating sensation ( 71% ) , headache ( 69% ) , dyspnea ( 69% ) , and blurred vision ( 67% ) .
Thirty-one patients had residual symptoms 7 days after ingestion .
Of the six residual symptoms reported , the most frequent ones were dizziness ( 40% ) , poor appetite and dry mouth ( 11% ) , and gastrointestinal disturbance ( 11% ) .
The presence of residual symptoms correlated with the severity of the initial complaints ( p < 0 . 01 ) .
Almost all patients ate cooked rice ( 93% ) and leaf vegetable stir-fried with crab claw ( 93% ) .
The amount of each food eaten by the patients was not associated with the severity of symptoms ( p > 0 . 05 ) .
High levels of methomyl in leaf vegetables of "leaf vegetables stir-fried with crab claws" ( 380 ppm ) and fried mussels ( 1113 ppm ) were found by the Food Inspection Center at the Department of Health .
The food history and chemical analysis of the poison indicated methomyl was the cause of this outbreak .
Twenty-four patients recovered completely within 7 days .
CONCLUSION : Food-related methomyl intoxication produced a rapid onset of significant clinical toxicity in 124 individuals .
Based on the analysis of 55 adult patients , the most common effects were gait ataxia , dizziness , generalized weakness , and vomiting .

In contrast to the Arabidopsis genome , multiple CPS-like , KS-like , and KO-like genes were identified in the rice genome , most of which are contiguously arranged .
We also identified 18 GA-deficient rice mutants at six different loci from rice mutant collections .
Based on the mutant and expression analyses , we demonstrated that the enzymes catalyzing the early steps in the GA biosynthetic pathway ( ie CPS , KS , KO , and KAO ) are mainly encoded by single genes , while those for later steps ( ie GA20ox , GA3ox , and GA2ox ) are encoded by gene families .
The remaining CPS-like , KS-like , and KO-like genes were likely to be involved in the biosynthesis of diterpene phytoalexins rather than GAs because the expression of two CPS-like and three KS-like genes ( OsCPS2 , OsCPS4 , OsKS4 , OsKS7 , and OsKS8 ) were increased by UV irradiation , and four of these genes ( OsCPS2 , OsCPS4 , OsKS4 , and OsKS7 ) were also induced by an elicitor treatment . | Matching Sentences:
