AIM:To estimate the mortality rates of gastroenterologic cancers for the period between 1974 and 1999, in Henan Province, China and its epidemiologic features. METHODS:Information on death of patients with cancer was provided by the county-city registries. Population data were provided by the local police bureau. All the deaths of cancer registered were classified according to the threedigit rubric of the ICD-9. Cancer mortality rates reported herein were age-adjusted, using the world population as standard and weighted piecewise linear regression analysis. RESULTS:Total cancer age-adjusted mortality rates were 195.91 per 100 000 for males and 124.36 per 100 000 for females between 1996 and 1998. During the period of 1974-1999, a remarkable decrease took place in esophageal carcinoma, stomach cancer remained essentially stable and liver cancer, a moderate increase. Colorectal cancer was slightly increased over the last two decades. CONCLUSION:The population-based cancer registry can give an accurate picture of cancer in Henan Province, by providing a set of analyses of selected cancer mortality data as a source of reference for researchers in cancer, public health and health care services.

“…8 According to reports from the Republic Institute of Statistics, the proportion of symptoms and ill-defined conditions among all causes of death in Central Serbia during the same period was 9.1% (5.5%Y19.6%). 9 Age-adjusted mortality rates with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated based on the age-specific mortality rates and the European standard population.…”

“…Of these, the latter is the least likely, because the proportion of symptoms and ill-defined conditions in all causes of death in Belgrade in the period 1975 to 1997 was 6.9%, and the average proportion of cancers unknown/ill-defined site among all malignant tumors in the same period was 4.3%. 8 In addition, according to reports from the Municipal Institute of Statistics in Belgrade, the proportion of symptoms and ill-defined conditions among all causes of death, during the period 2001 to 2007, ranged from 5.2% to 6.7%. 18 There is no evidence in changes in coding practices, with the former Yugoslavia converting from ICD-8 to ICD-9 codes in 1978 as well as in converting to ICD-10 in 1995.…”

SUMMARYBackground: A higher risk of both advanced adenoma and carcinoma occurs in the sigmoid colon of patients with diverticular disease, for which bacterial carcinogens have been claimed to play a role. Aim: To assess epithelial cell proliferation in colonic mucosa of diverticular disease patients before and after rifaximin treatment. Methods: Twelve consecutive patients with a new endoscopic diagnosis of left-sided diverticular disease and 12 matched controls were enrolled. Epithelial cell proliferation in the sigmoid mucosa was assessed by using proliferating cell nuclear antigen. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen index of the whole crypt and of the upper third was separately evaluated
