    Notes: Abstract Objective: The purpose was to investigate whether dietary associations with risk of colon cancer in women differ by family history of the disease. Methods: Data were analyzed from a prospective cohort study of 35,216 Iowa (United States) women aged 55 to 69 years at baseline. Through 31 December 1995, 241 colon cancers were identified through record linkage with the State Health Registry. The cohort was stratified on family history of colon cancer in first-degree relatives; nutrient intakes were divided into tertiles. Results: Analyses using Cox regression revealed that the association of most dietary components with colon cancer incidence were similar for individuals with and without a family history. However, total calcium intake was associated inversely with colon cancer among women with a negative family history (relative risk [RR]=0.50 for upper cf lower tertile, P 〈 0.001), but was unrelated to incidence for women with a positive family history (RR=1.1 for upper cf lower tertile, P=0.69). Similarly, total vitamin E intake was associated with lower risk among women with a negative family history (RR=0.67 for upper cf lower tertile, P=0.04), but not among women with a positive family history (RR=0.87 for upper cf lower tertile, P=0.67). High intakes of fiber, fruits, and vegetables were each weakly inversely associated with risk among family-history negative women, but not among family-history positive women. Conclusions: These data, if corroborated, suggest that dietary factors typically associated with lower risk may be less effective risk-reduction interventions against colon cancer for individuals with a family history of colon cancer.

    Notes: Abstract To investigate the relation of dietary intakes of sucrose, meat, and fat, and anthropometric, lifestyle, hormonal, and reproductive factors to colon cancer incidence, data were analyzed from a prospective cohort study of 35,215 Iowa (United States) women, aged 55–69 years and without a history of cancer, who completed mailed dietary and other questionnaires in 1986. Through 1990, 212 incident cases of colon cancer were documented. Proportional hazards regression was used to adjust for age and other risk factors. Risk factors found to be associated significantly with colon cancer included: (i) sucrose-containing foods and beverages other than ice cream/milk; relative risks (RR) across the quintiles=1.00, 1.73, 1.56, 1.54, and 2.00 (95% confidence intervals [CI] for quintiles two and five exclude 1.0); (ii) sucrose; RR across the quintiles=1.00, 1.70, 1.81, 1.82, and 1.45 (CI for quintiles two through four exclude 1.0); (iii) height; RR=1.23 for highest to lowest quintile (P for trend-0.02); (iv) body mass index; RR=1.41 for highest to lowest quintile (P for trend=0.03); and (v) number of livebirths, RR=1.59 for having had one to two livebirths and 1.80 for having had three or more livebirths compared with having had none (P for trend=0.04). These data support hypotheses that sucrose intake or being tall or obese increases colon cancer risk; run contrary to the hypothesis that increased parity decreases risk; support previous findings of no association with demographic factors other than age, cigarette smoking, or use of oral contraceptives or estrogen replacement therapy; and raise questions regarding previous associations with meat, fat, protein, and physical activity.Cancer Causes and Control 1994, 5, 38–52.

    Notes: We examined whether associations of adult weight gain with the risk of postmenopausal breast cancer vary by stature, waist-hip ratio (WHR), and early adult size in a cohort of 37,105 Iowa (United States) women. Both low body mass index (kg/m2) (BMI) at age 18 and high subsequent weight-gain were associated independently with increased risk of incident postmenopausal breast cancer. After stratifying on BMI at age 18, high weight gain was associated with increased risk irrespective of whether early BMI was low (relative risk [RR]=1.92, 95 percent confidence interval [CI]=1.45–2.53) or high (RR=1.59, Ci=1.19–2.12). Women with lower BMI at 18 were at a higher risk at all levels of weight change, but having low BMI at age 18 and low subsequent weight gain conferred no significantly excess risk over those with high BMI at 18 and low gain. An inconsistent increase in risk was associated with taller stature; there was no additional risk associated with high WHR. Part of the observed risk from lower early size may reflect greater weight gain by lighter women. Limiting adult weight gain thus may be a feasible method to avoid increasing an individual's risk of breast cancer. Reasons for different effects of early cf late weight gain are not established, but benefits of a greater size at age 18 are likely to be offset by increased risks of other weight-related diseases at older ages.

    Notes: We recently provided data from a prospective cohort study of postmenopausal women which suggested that a first livebirth at age 30 or older (cf before age 20) was associated with a twofold increased risk of breast cancer in women without a family history, but a 5.8-fold higher risk in women with a positive family history. To address the question of whether these observations reflect difficulty becoming pregnant or maintaining a pregnancy, we performed additional analyses in which the outcome of each pregnancy was considered. During five years of follow-up, 620 incident cases of breast cancer were identified in the 37,105 women at risk. There was little evidence for an increased risk associated with a history of spontaneous abortion (relative risk [RR]=1.1; 95 percent confidence interval [CI]=0.9–1.4), nor was the risk higher among women who reported two or more spontaneous abortions in consecutive pregnancies (RR=1.0, CI=0.7–1.4). Although women who reported that they had tried unsuccessfully to become pregnant had only slightly and nonsignificantly elevated risks of breast cancer (RR=1.1, CI=0.9–1.3), a more pronounced and statistically significant association was noted in women with a positive family history (RR=2.0, CI=1.4–3.2). There was a strong inverse association between failure to become pregnant and parity (P〈0.0001); nearly 50 percent of the nulliparous married women reported having tried and failed to become pregnant, whereas the frequency was only 6.8 percent among married women with five or more livebirths. Thus, difficulties in becoming pregnant may characterize a subset of women at increased risk of breast cancer, especially in the presence of a family history.

    Notes: At least three case-control studies have examined the association between alcohol consumption and endometrial cancer; two studies showed inverse associations, and a third a positive association. To our knowledge, no prospective studies of this association have been reported. The association between alcohol and endometrial cancer was examined in the Iowa Women's Health Study (United States), a prospective study of postmenopausal women. Information on alcohol consumption and other variables was obtained through a mailed questionnaire in January 1986. Through December 1990, 167 incident endometrial cancer cases occurred in the at-risk cohort of 25,170 women. Multivariate-adjusted relative risks (RR) and 95 percent confidence intervals (CI) were computed using Cox proportional hazards regression controlling for age, body mass index (BMI), parity, age at menopause, and noncontraceptive estrogen use, and to determine multiplicative interactions. The RRs of endometrial cancer associated with 〈4.0 and ≥4.0 g of alcohol per day compared with abstainers were 0.7 (CI=0.5–1.1) and 1.0 (CI=0.7–1.6), respectively. No statistically significant association between endometrial cancer and consumption of either beer, wine, or liquor was observed. There was no interaction between alcohol and any other endometrial cancer risk factors, including BMI or noncontraceptive estrogen use. These data do not support an association between alcohol and endometrial cancer among postmenopausal women.

    Notes: Abstract To test the hypothesis that a high intake of dietary cholesterol and fat is associated with elevated risks of lung cancer, we analyzed data from a population-based, prospective, cohort study conducted among 41,837 postmenopausal Iowa (United States) women who completed, in 1986, a comprehensive mailed questionnaire including information on usual intake of 127 food items. All cohort members were followed for cancer incidence through the statewide cancer registry. By 1991, after six years of follow-up, 272 incident lung-cancer cases were identified. After controlling for total energy intake and other confounding factors, dietary cholesterol, total fat, and animal fat were unrelated to lung cancer risk. Intake in the upper three quartiles of plantderived fat, however, was related to a 30 to 40 percent lower incidence of lung cancer, compared with those in the lowest quartile, with more pronoucned reduction in risk observed among smokers (relative risk=0.6, 95 percent confidence interval=0.4–0.9). This prospective cohort study suggests that high intake of fat of plant origin may be associated with reduced risk of lung cancer, while dietary cholesterol and animal fat intake is unrelated to the etiology of this malignancy in postmenopausal women.

    Description / Table of Contents: Über die konformative Präferenz in substituierten Cyclopentadienyl- und Heterocyclopentadienyl-KomplexenMO-Berechnungen ergeben erhebliche Barrieren für die internen Rotationen in Thiadiborolen-Fe(CO)3- und Diazaborolen-Cr(CO)3-Komplexen. Die Gleichgewichtsgeometrien der zwei Moleküle sollten verschieden sein. Eine MO-Fragmentanalyse erklärt diese Ergebnisse und führt darüberhinaus zu einer ganz allgemeinen Analyse der Rotationsbarrieren in Heterocyclopentadienyl- und substituierten Cyclopentadienyl-ML3- und -ML2-Komplexen. Für letztere wird ein gleitender Übergang von η5- nach η2-Koordination vorhergesagt.
    Notes: Molecular orbital calculations indicate substantial barriers to internal rotation in thiadiborolene-Fe(CO)3 and diazaborolene-Cr(CO)3 complexes. The equilibrium geometry of the two molecules should also differ. A fragment analysis explains these results and leads to a general analysis of rotational barriers in heterocyclopentadienyl and substituted cyclopentadienyl-ML3 and -ML2 complexes. In the latter an interesting “slipping” from η5 toward η2 coordination is predicted.

    Description / Table of Contents: Cycloheptatrien- und Fulven-Cr(CO)3-KomplexeIm Tricarbonylchrom(0)-Komplex von 1,6-Methano[10]annulen und in einigen verwandten Komplexen nimmt die Cr(CO)3-Einheit verglichen mit allen anderen Hexatrien-Cr(CO)3-Systemen eine anomale Orientierung relativ zum Polyen ein. Eine theoretische Analyse dieses Problems zeigt, daß diese Vorzugskonformation eng mit der Cycloheptatrien-Norcaradien-Valenztautomerie zusammenhängt. Mögliche Wege, die Rotationsbarriere in derartigen Komplexen zu beeinflussen, werden aufgezeigt. Vorzugskonformation, Rotationsbarriere und Abknicken der exocyclischen Methylengruppe in Tricarbonyl(η6-fulven)chrom(0) werden diskutiert und die Analyse wird auf die analogen Benzyl-Cr(CO)3- und Cyclobutadiencarbinyl-Fe(CO)3-Kationen ausgedehnt. Die Konformation dieser Komplexe wird solchen gegenübergestellt, die zwei Elektronen mehr enthalten.
    Notes: 1,6-Methano[10]annulene-Cr(CO)3 and several related complexes adopt an anomalous orientation of the Cr(CO)3 unit with respect to the polyene, compared to all other hexatriene-Cr(CO)3 complexes. A theoretical analysis of this problem shows that these conformational preferences are closely related to the cycloheptatriene-norcaradiene valence tautomerism. Several strategies for influencing the barrier to internal rotation in these complexes are presented. An analysis of the conformational preference, rotational barrier, and bending of the exocyclic methylene group in fulvene-Cr(CO)3 is also discussed. This is extended to the analogous benzyl-Cr(CO)3 and cyclobutadiene-carbinyl-Fe(CO)3 cations. Finally, the orientations of these complexes are contrasted to those containing two more electrons.

    Notes: The potentiometric study of the complexation of Cu2+ with 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (1), 1,4,8-triazacyclodecane (2) 1,5,9-triazacyclododecane (3) has shown that CuL, CuL2 and (CuLOH)2 are the main species present in solution. Their stabilities (Table 1) and their absorption spectra (Table 2) indicate facial coordination of the cyclic triamines in a distorted octahedral geometry.The formation and dissociation kinetics have been measured by stopped-flow techniques. The formation in acetate buffer can be described by the reaction of Cu2+ and CuAcO+ with the monoprotonated species of the ligand. The bimolecular rate constants for these complexations (Table 3) decrease when the ring size increases. In contrast the dissociation induced by acid is only little affected by the ring size. Thus for these complexes the rate of formation and not that of the dissociation determines the overall stability.

    Notes: In the presence of Ni2+ the template reaction between 2,6-diacetylpyridine and 4-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)- or 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1, 7-diamino-4-azaheptane yields the complexes of either the open-chain ligand (3 and 11) or of the macrocycle (4 and 12). Reduction of the imino group in 4 and 12 with PtO2/H2 gives 5 and 13, respectively. In the case of the dimethylamino derivative 5 a mixture of at least four isomers was obtained. These were partially separated by chromatography on Sephadex SP-25 cation exchanger. Through demetalation of the Ni2+ complexes by cyanide the new macrocycles 7 and 14 were isolated, from which the corresponding Zn2+ and Cu2+ complexes were prepared.The macrocyclic Ni2+-complexes 4, 12, 5 and 13 can exist in two forms depending on the pH of the solution. At low pH protonation of the dimethylamino or hydroxy group in the side chain occurs. The metal ion is then bound to the four nitrogen atoms of the macrocycle in a square planar ligand field. At higher pH, however, the dimethylamino or hydroxy group (the last one also in its deprotonated form) can coordinate to one of the axial positions, whereby pseudooctahedral coordination geometry is induced. This reaction can be quantitatively described by a reversible acid-base equilibrium, the pKH of which greatly depends on the nature of the functional group, the degree of unsaturation of the macrocycle and the metal ion.The acid-base reaction and the concomitant structural change are a direct consequence of the unique combination of the rigid and kinetically stable structure of the macrocycle and of the flexible and kinetically labile functional group of the side chain.
