It lays ahead as one of the key challenges for EU28-PC, Adult Equivalent (AE) and conjoint evaluations and implementation are not sufficiently dynamic and forward-looking to drive the performance of methods upwards. Those evaluations do not serve the above purpose. On PC, AE method use overall, voluntary and regulatory instruments are not sufficiently connected and potential synergies among the different instruments are not exploited. Divergent national, international approaches send conflicting signals to producers and consumers. As a result, the full potential of the internal food market of EU28 and its impact on environment are not realized and evaluated on properly identified UNIT basis. Misidentified UNIT for measurement would not give correct results and if one installs his correct assumptions on the wrong unit, the falls results will start following each other. The developed PAHUM-(Copy-right 1989) and policy approach may integrate the potential of the different policy instruments, helping implement them (gender, age, structure and household size) to food consumption and environmental issues.展开更多

It has also been confirmed that interindividual variations in IL-10 production are genetically attributed to the polymorphisms of IL-10 gene.Therefore, this study was designed to investigate whether the polymorphisms of IL-10 gene were associated with susceptibility to GC in the Chinese population.METHODS The serum levels of IL-10 were measured by radioimmunoassay. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at positions -1082A/G, -819T/C and -592A/C in the IL-10 gene promoter were analyzed using polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).RESULTS 220 patients with gastric cancer and 180 healthy controls were included in this study. The serum levels of IL-10 were signifi cantly higher in GC patients than healthy controls (Z = -19.13, P 〈 0.001). Single SNP analysis showed that the -1082G allele, -1082AG and -819CC genotypes significantly increased in patients with GC (P = 0.029, 0.021, 0.039 respectively). In a logistic regression analysis adjusted for age and sex, the -1082AG genotype was associated with an odds ratio of 1.974 (95% CI,1.14-3.391; P = 0.014), and the -819CC genotype with an odds ratio of 2.496 (95% CI, 1.222-5.102; P = 0.012) for GC. Furthermore,haplotype analysis revealed that at least five haplotypes (ATA,ACC, GCC, ACA and ATC) were existent in this population.Also that the GCC haplotype was associated with a signifi cantly increased risk of GC as compared with the ATA haplotype (OR =1.90; 95% CI, 1.11-3.27; P = 0.02).CONCLUSION The results indicate that the gene haplotype of IL-10 may contribute to the susceptibility to GC in the Chinese population.展开更多
