1.The failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels.But many researchers remain confident that drugs to boost levels of 'good' cholesterol are still one of the most promising means to combat spiralling heart disease.

2.Drug company Pfizer announced on 2 December that it was cancelling all clinical trials of torcetrapib,a drug designed to raise heart-protective high-density lipoproteins (HDLs).In a trial of 15000 patients,a safety board found that more people died or suffered cardiovascular problems after taking the drug plus a cholesterol-lowering statin than those in a control group who took the statin alone.

3.The news came as a kick in the teeth to many cardiologists because earlier tests in animals and people suggested it would lower rates of cardiovascular disease."There have been no red flags to my knowledge," says John Chapman,a specialist in lipoproteins and atherosclerosis at the National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in Paris who has also studied torcetrapib."This cancellation came as a complete shock."

4.Torcetrapib is one of the most advanced of a new breed of drugs designed to raise levels of HDLs,which ferry cholesterol out of artery-clogging plaques to the liver for removal from the body.Specifically,torcetrapib blocks a protein called cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP),which normally transfers the cholesterol from high-density lipoproteins to low density,plaque-promoting ones.Statins,in contrast,mainly work by lowering the 'bad' low-density lipoproteins.

Under pressure

5.Researchers are now trying to work out why and how the drug backfired,something that will not become clear until the clinical details are released by Pfizer.One hint lies in evidence from earlier trials that it slightly raises blood pressure in some patients.It was thought that this mild problem would be offset by the heart benefits of the drug.But it is possible that it actually proved fatal in some patients who already suffered high blood pressure.If blood pressure is the explanation,it would actually be good news for drug developers because it suggests that the problems are specific to this compound.Other prototype drugs that are being developed to block CETP work in a slightly different way and might not suffer the same downfall.

6.But it is also possible that the whole idea of blocking CETP is flawed,says Moti Kashyap,who directs atherosclerosis research at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach,California.When HDLs excrete cholesterol in the liver,they actually rely on LDLs for part of this process.So inhibiting CETP,which prevents the transfer of cholesterol from HDL to LDL,might actually cause an abnormal and irreversible accumulation of cholesterol in the body."You're blocking a physiologic mechanism to eliminate cholesterol and effectively constipating the pathway," says Kashyap.Going up

7.Most researchers remain confident that elevating high density lipoproteins levels by one means or another is one of the best routes for helping heart disease patients.But HDLs are complex and not entirely understood.One approved drug,called niacin,is known to both raise HDL and reduce cardiovascular risk but also causes an unpleasant sensation of heat and tingling.Researchers are exploring whether they can bypass this side effect and whether niacin can lower disease risk more than statins alone.Scientists are also working on several other means to bump up high-density lipoproteins by,for example,introducing synthetic HDLs."The only thing we know is dead in the water is torcetrapib,not the whole idea of raising HDL," says Michael Miller,director of preventive cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center,Baltimore.

To begin with,"muzak"(音乐广播网 )was intended simplyto createasoothing(安慰)atmosphere.Recently,however,it's ecome big business —thanks in part to recentresearch.Dr.Ronald Milliman,an American marketing expert,hasshown that music can boost sales or increase factory roduction by as much as a third.But,it has to be light music.A fast one has no effect atall on sales.Slow music can increase receipts by 38%.This isprobably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunityto spot items they like to buy.Yet,slow music isn't alway sanswer.Dr.Milliman found,for example,that in restaurants slowmusic meant customers took longer to eat their meals,whichreduced overall sales.So restaurants owners might be welladvised to play up-tempo music to keep the customers moving—unless of course,the resulting indigestion leads tocomplaints!

窗子以外 林徽因 话从哪里说起?等到你要说话,什么话都是那样渺茫地找不到个源头。 此刻,就在我眼帘底下坐着,是四个乡下人的背影:一个头上包着黯黑的白布,两个褪色的蓝布,又一个光头。他们支起膝盖,半蹲半坐的,在溪沿的短墙上休息。每人手里一件简单的东西:一个是白木棒,一个篮子,那两个在树荫底下我看不清楚。无疑地他们已经走了许多路,再过一刻,抽完一筒旱烟以后,是还要走许多路的。兰花烟的香味频频随着微风,袭到我官觉上来,模糊中还有几段山西梆子的声调,虽然他们坐的地方是在我廊子的铁纱窗以外。 永远是窗子以外,不是铁纱窗就是玻璃窗,总而言之,窗子以外! 所有的活动的颜色、声音、生的滋味,全在那里的,你并不是不能看到,只不过是永远地在你窗子以外罢了。多少百里的平原土地,多少区域的起伏的山峦,昨天由窗子外映进你的眼帘,那是多少生命日夜在活动着的所在;每一根青的什么麦黍,都有人流过汗;每一粒黄的什么米粟,都有人吃去;其间还有的是周折,是热闹,是紧张!可是你则并不一定能看见,因为那所有的周折,热闹,紧张,全都在你窗子以外展演着。 在家里罢,你坐在书房里,窗子以外的景物本就有限。那里两树马缨,几棵丁香;榆叶梅横出疯权的一大枝;海棠因为缺乏阳光,每年只开个两三朵——叶子上满是虫蚁吃的创痕,还卷着一点焦黄的边;廊子幽秀地开着扇子式,六边形的格子窗,透过外院的日光,外院的杂音。什么送煤的来了,偶然你看到一个两个被煤炭染成黔黑的脸;什么米送到了,一个人掮着一大口袋在背上,慢慢踱过屏门;还有自来水,电灯、电话公司来收账的,胸口斜挂着皮口袋,手里推着一辆自行车;更有时厨子来个朋友了,满脸的笑容,“好呀,好呀,”地走进门房;什么赵妈的丈夫来拿钱了,那是每月一号一点都不差的,早来了你就听到两个人唧唧哝哝争吵的声浪。那里不是没有颜色、声音、生的一切活动,只是他们和你总隔个窗子,——扇子式的,六边形的,纱的,玻璃的! 你气闷了,把笔一搁说,这叫做什么生活!检点行装说,走了,走了,这沉闷没有生气的生活,实在受不了,我要换个样子过活去。健康的旅行既可以看看山水古刹的名胜,又可以知道点内地纯朴的人情风俗。走了,走了,天气还不算太坏,就是走他一个月六礼拜也是值得的。 没想到不管你走到那里,你永远免不了坐在窗子以内的。不错,许多时髦的学者常常骄傲地带上“考察”的神气,架上科学的眼镜,偶然走到哪里一个陌生的地方瞭望,但那无形中的窗子是仍然存在的。不信,你检查他们的行李,有谁不带着罐头食品,帆布床,以及别的证明你还在你窗子以内的种种零星用品,你再摸一摸他们的皮包,那里短不了有些钞票;一到一个地方,你有的是一个提梁的小小世界。不管你的窗子朝向哪里望,所看到的多半则仍是在你窗子以外,隔层玻璃,或是铁纱!隐隐约约你看到一些颜色,听到一些声音,如果你私下满足了,那也没有什么,只是千万别高兴起说什么接触了,认识了若干事物人情,天知道那是罪过!
