Magnetic field and pressure effects on charge density wave, superconducting, and magnetic states in LuIrSi and ErIrSi
We have studied the charge-density-wave (CDW) state for the superconducting
LuIrSi and the antiferromagnetic ErIrSi as
variables of temperature, magnetic field, and hydrostatic pressure. For
LuIrSi, the application of pressure strongly suppresses the CDW
phase but weakly enhances the superconducting phase. For ErIrSi,
the incommensurate CDW state is pressure independent and the commensurate CDW
state strongly depends on the pressure, whereas the antiferromagnetic ordering
is slightly depressed by applying pressure. In addition, ErIrSi
shows negative magnetoresistance at low temperatures, compared with the
positive magnetoresistance of LuIrSi.Comment: 12 pages, including 6 figure
Heme iron intake, dietary antioxidant capacity, and risk of colorectal adenomas in a large cohort study of french women
International audienceBackground: Nitrosylated and non-nitrosylated heme iron from red processed and nonprocessed meat have been associated with increased colorectal carcinogenesis. Mechanisms include oxidative processes. It has been hypothesized that dietary antioxidants could counteract the effects of heme iron. We investigated the relationships between heme iron intake and the risk of colorectal adenomas, and a potential interaction with the dietary antioxidant capacity, in the E3N prospective cohort study. Methods: The study included 17,397 women, who underwent at least one colonoscopy. Among them, 1,409 were diagnosed with at least one first colorectal adenoma during the 103,253 person-years of follow-up. Dietary intake was measured by a semiquantitative food history questionnaire. HR estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were obtained from Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for potential confounders. Results: Heme iron intake was positively associated with colorectal and colon adenoma risks [HR for the fourth vs. first quartile: HR4 = 1.36 (1.13-1.65), P-trend = 0.001 and HR4 = 1.49; 95% CI, 1.19-1.87; P-trend = 0.0003, respectively]. Nonnitrosylated and nitrosylated heme iron intakes were, respectively, associated with advanced distal and proximal adenoma risks. There was a dose-effect relationship between the heme iron to total dietary anti-oxidant capacity ratio and colorectal adenoma risk. Conclusion: In this prospective cohort study, the association between heme iron and colorectal adenoma risk was found to depend on site, nitrosylation or not, and the ratio with the NEAC. Impact: These results emphasize the need for a global assessment of diet when considering nutritional prevention of colorectal carcinogenesis
