WASHINGTON, April 3 (Xinhua) -- Scientists have confirmed that metabolic syndrome, a constellation of conditions that increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes, may also increase the risk of the two most common types of liver cancer, according to data presented at the American Association for Cancer Research's 102nd Annual Meeting 2011, held in Orlando, Florida on April 2-6.Katherine McGlynn, a senior investigator at the National Cancer Institute, said approximately one-third of the U.S. population has metabolic syndrome, which is defined as the co-occurrence of at least three of the following five conditions: raised blood pressure, elevated waist circumference, low HDL or "good" cholesterol, raised triglyceride levels and raised fasting plasma glucose levels.According to McGlynn, persons with these conditions may be at increased risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.For the current study, researchers identified 3,649 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and 743 cases of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. They compared the medical history of these patients with the medical histories of 195,953 cancer-free adults.Statistical analyses showed that the persons with liver cancer were significantly more likely than cancer-free persons to have a prior history of metabolic syndrome: 37.1 percent of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma had pre-existing metabolic syndrome, as did 29.7 percent of patients with intrahepatic carcinoma; only 17.1 percent of the cancer-free adults had metabolic syndrome.Liver cancer incidence has been rising since the 1980s in the United States. The factors related to the increase are not well understood. "A lot of attention has focused on viral risk factors, but a significant part of the increase may be due to metabolic syndrome, as well as to diabetes and obesity," said McGlynn."The prognosis for liver cancer is only marginally better than the prognosis for pancreatic cancer, with a five-year survival of approximately 10 percent," she said. "Prognosis is more favorable, however, when liver cancers are diagnosed at early stages when they are small and localized to the liver."

CANBERRA, April 14 (Xinhua) -- The Australian federal government could struggle to get its carbon tax through parliament, as key independent Member of Parliament (MP) Tony Windsor on Thursday warned the plan may never become a reality.Windsor, who is one of the independents Prime Minister Julia Gillard will rely on to get her carbon tax pass the Parliament, said while climate action will benefit the bush, he will not "vote for something that does nothing"."There is no carbon tax, there may not be a carbon tax," he told ABC News on Thursday morning."The prime minister doesn't have the numbers, as I understand it at the moment."I have a vote, others do as well, so you can never guarantee something before it gets through a minority parliament."Windsor said people in his rural New South Wales electorate were concerned about the lack of detail around the proposed carbon tax.Gillard played down his comments, saying that Windsor, who sits on the multi-party climate change committee, had been "perfectly consistent" in his approach to the carbon price debate."He does believe climate change is real ... that pricing carbon is the best way, an important way, of tackling climate change," Gillard told ABC Radio on Thursday."(But) he's going to look at the (legislative) package and wait to the end and then judge (it)."Gillard added that the Labor government remains determined to introduce a carbon tax from mid-2012 followed by an emissions trading scheme.

BEIJING, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- China's new rules for reviewing proposed mergers and acquisition (M&A) deals by foreign firms on grounds of national security would benefit both Chinese and foreign investors, a Ministry of Commerce (MOC) spokesman said Thursday.The rules will facilitate the growth of foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) in China and improve the quality and structure of foreign direct investment (FDI) flowing into China, MOC spokesman Yao Jian said at a press conference.The move also marked an improving legal environment for the security of China's business sector along with its opening-up drive, given that M&A by FIEs will increasingly become a trend in the coming years, Yao said."The adoption of the rules in China will also increase policy transparency and improve law-based government administration," said Yao.Yao's words came after the State Council, China's Cabinet, announced last Saturday that it was establishing a panel to check whether M&A deals struck by foreign firms in the country endanger national security.The panel will review attempts by FIEs to buy or merge with domestic companies whose business pertains to national defence, agriculture, energy, resources, key infrastructure, transport systems, key technology sectors and important equipment manufacturing industries, according to a statement published on the central government's website www.gov.cn.The review will be conducted by a foreign investment security review board under the cabinet, members of which come from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the MOC and other agencies.The new regulations, which take effect in March, come at a time when China is expected to see more M&A deals struck by foreign firms.Currently, inward M&A accounts for about 3 percent of China's total FDI, a sharp contrast with the global average level of more than 70 percent, said Yao. "M&A by FIEs will become a major trend in China."China's taking in FDI through more M&A will promote industrial consolidation and restructuring, and it will also mean more efficient utilization of the existing resources, he said."As the share of M&A in the FDI will probably rise from the current 3 percent to 8 percent, 10 percent or even more, it is necessary to timely formulate China's own rules governing foreign takeovers in line with international standards," Yao said.In April 2010, the State Council said in a statement that foreign investment should be allowed to be more diversified and foreign investors encouraged to participate in the consolidation and restructuring of domestic firms via equity holdings or acquisitions.He Manqing, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the MOC, said "It is right and proper to impose regulations and requirements on proposed M&A deals in the sectors of strategic importance and those involving national security.""The introduction of the regulations conforms to the new trend in China's receiving of FDI and indicates that China's regulations on FDI are becoming more mature," said He.The NDRC said Wednesday that national security scrutiny would only occur when foreign companies take a majority stake in a domestic M&A deal, meaning that a minority stake purchase will not trigger a review."The new rules draw references from similar rules in the United States, Germany and Canada," the NDRC said in a statement on its website.The NDRC also said that the new regulations were in line with World Trade Organization rules and did not imply that China had changed its policies on opening up and attracting FDI.China's FDI jumped 23.4 percent in January to 10.03 billion U.S. dollars, said Yao. The monthly growth rate was up from December's 15.6 percent.As the world's top investment destination, China received a total of 105.74 billion U.S dollars in FDI in 2010, up 17.4 percent year on year, the MOC said last month.
