Seventeen patients with non-metastatic carcinoma of the colon (9 male, 8 female) were compared with age- and sex-matched controls in a study examining the relationship of diet and altered cholesterol metabolism with carcinoma of the colon. Bile acid excretion in the faeces was significantly less in cancer patients ( P > 0.001), and a significantly lower intake of retinol ( P > 0.01) and vitamin A ( P > 0.05) was demonstrated in female cancer patients. There was no difference between patients and controls in hepatic cholesterol enzyme activity or in fasting plasma lipid levels.

BACKGROUND: Cancer is a disease caused by abnormal growth of body cells that turn malignant and continue to grow uncontrollably. One of the treatments for breast cancer is mastectomy. The quickness of decision-making determines the survival rate of prognosis patients. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the relationship of self-acceptance with decision-making duration in cancer patients to perform a mastectomy. METHODS: An analytic observation method with cross-sectional design. The samples were taken by purposive sampling method with 50 samples of breast cancer patients. Data collected include age, last level of education, marital status, profession, stage of cancer during mastectomy, self-acceptance score, and decision-making duration to perform a mastectomy. RESULTS: The data analyzed with the Kruskal–Wallis test. The test showed the relationship of self-acceptance (p = 0.027) with decision-making duration in breast cancer patients to perform a mastectomy. CONCLUSION: In Conclusion, there is a relationship of self-acceptance with decision-making duration in breast cancer patients to perform a mastectomy.

AbstractThe objective of this study was to examine the effect of dietary vitamin A (retinol) on leptin in cattle. The relationship between plasma leptin and insulin was also examined. The experiment studies 16 9-month-old steers over the following 20-month fattening period. Four treatment diets were given to four steers in each of four groups. Cattle in treatment A were given a diet high in vitamin A (9000 to 10500 µg/day) throughout the experiment. Cattle in treatment B were given a diet low in vitamin A (300 to 4500 µg/day) for 0 to 10 months, after that they were given the high vitamin A diet during the period 10 to 20 months. Cattle in treatment C were given the low vitamin A diet for 0 to 14 months, after that they were given the high vitamin A diet for the period 14 to 20 months. Cattle in treatment D were given the low vitamin A diet throughout the experiment. Plasma samples were collected at 2-month intervals during the experiment to determine the plasma leptin, insulin and vitamin A concentrations. Plasma leptin concentration significantly increased over the fattening period (P< 0·001) but did not differ between the treatments (P> 0·05). Plasma leptin concentration was positively correlated with insulin concentration (r = 0·44,P< 0·001), although it was not correlated with plasma vitamin A concentration (r = –0·01,P> 0·05). It was concluded that dietary vitamin A in cattle does not affect plasma leptin concentration.
