tanning parlors take heat
People who seek a glamorous tan through sun lamps may double their risk of developing common types of skin cancer, according to a new study that found the risk was highest for those who start at a young age.
The study, appearing in the latest issue of Journal of the U.S.National Cancer Institute,concluded that people who use tanning devices were 1.5 to 2.5 times more 1ikely to have common kinds of skin cancer than were people who did not use the devices.
The study confirmed what doctors have long suspected—that sun lamp use increases the risk of basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers,said Margaret R.Karagas,first author of the study.
Either going to the tanning parlor,or getting an infrequent sunburn can seriously damage the skin,said Dr.James Spencer,vice chairman of the department of dermatology at Mount Hospital,but the small.day.to.day exposure is worse for the skin in the long run.
Joseph A.Levy,vice president of the International Smart Tan Network,however,said occasional sunburn “is a risk factor in all forms of skin cancer and intermittent sunburn is what the tanning industry is trying to stop.’’
In the study, Karagas and her colleagues interviewed 603 basal eell skin cancer patients and 293 with squamous eell skin cancer.They talked to 540 control subjects, who did not have either type of skin cancer.
About l million Americans are diagnosed annually with skin cancer.Among those skin cancer patients,about 80 percent are with basal cell skin cancer,16 percent,with squamous cell skin cancer and 4 percent, with melanoma.the most serious form of skin cancers.Back to the interviewed patients,190 reported that they had used tanning devices at some time.In the control groups,only 75 had used such devices.Karagas said a statistical analysis shows that those who used tanning equipment were 2.5 times more likely to get squamous cell skin cancer than those who had not used the devices.For basal cell cancer.the risk was 1.5 times greater.
The risk was highest for those who first used the tanning devices before the age of 20,said Karagas.For this group,the squamous cell cancer risk was 3.6 times greater than that of the controls while the basal cell cancer risk was 1.3 times greater.

China seek donors to narrow bone marrow(骨髓)gap
1 China has launched a campaign to recruit more bone marrow donors,amid a shortage of funds as well as of sibling donors who could help the growing number of patients in need of life-saving transplants,state media reported on Monday.
2 The Chinese Red Cross began the national campaign over the weekend to find donors for some 4 million patients suffering from leukaemia, thalassaemia and other blood diseases and awaiting bone marrow transplants,the official China Daily said.Every year China has 40,000 new leukaemia patients,most of them under 35 and 50 per cent of them children, the newspaper said.Other reports have linked China’s growing childhood leukaemia to solvents and building materials used in interior decoration.
3 With a tiny pool of bone marrow donors, weakened by the absence of sibling donors for most children because of China’s one-child policy, doctors rely on donors from Taiwan to save many young leukaemia patients,the Beijing Evening News said last weekend.Taiwan,with a population of 22 million,has 210,000 registered donors compared with fewer than 30,000 donors among mainland China’s 1.3 billion people.the newspaper said.
4 Yet the lack of registered donors may reflect a lack of funding for testing and recording data on potential donors rather than a lack of volunteers,the newspaper said.China needs a pool of at least 100.000 donors but testing them would cost more than 50 million yuan (6 million dollars),it said.
5 The Hong Kong Marrow Match Foundation said it has helped “a handful” of patients in
Beijing,Shanghai and other cities.“The number of requests is increasing” from mainland
China;including direct calls to the charity from desperate patients or relatives.said the foundation’s donor coordinator Marven Chin.But the cost of extracting bone marrow from one of the foundation’s 40,000 registered donors and flying it by courier has to be borne by the patients,and many of them have to be aided financially,Chin said.
