简要总结
The investigators are involved in a research program to understand how different diets may affect the risk of colorectal polyps and cancer. To that end, the investigators are conducting a study of a western style diet versus a "prudent style" diet in which volunteer subjects are provided a different diet for 2 separate 4 week periods at the Rockefeller University Hospital. During one of these 4 week inpatient periods they receive a Western style diet and during the other 4 week inpatient period they receive a "Prudent style" diet. The investigators will determine changes within the colon as a result of the two different diets. A more detailed description of the study is provided below.
详细描述
Study subjects participate for about 3 months. During this time, there is one outpatient visit, a 4 week inpatient period, a 4 week outpatient period known as a wash out period and finally another 4 week inpatient period. During the inpatient periods The Rockefeller University Hospital becomes your home the subject must sleep here every night and consume all the food provided. During the screening visit blood and urine samples will be taken and an EKC (electrocardiogram) and a complete physical exam will be done. After enrollment into the study, the first 4 week inpatient period begins. You may continue to go to work or do other activities as long as you eat the diet provided and sleep at the Rockefeller University Hospital. You must eat everything that we give you and you may not substitute or supplement the diet in any way. During each 4 week stay at The Rockefeller University Hospital, there will be three flexible sigmoidoscopies done and biopsies taken of the mucosal lining of the colorectum. This procedure is painless and takes about 5 minutes. In addition, blood and stool samples will be taken every few days for follow-up and research, two 24 hour urine samples will be done on separate days during the hospitalization. Vital signs are measured every day and your weight will be measured three times per week. During the four week wash out period, the subject will return to their home, go about their normal activities and consume their normal diet. The subject will return to The Rockefeller University Hospital for the second 4 week inpatient period. The procedures and laboratory tests are the same during the second inpatient period. The study concludes with the subjects discharge from the RUH.

入选标准
- •Healthy male and post-menopausal healthy female subjects, aged 50-72 years, who have had a colorectal adenoma removed, or have a first or second degree relative with colorectal neoplasia and thus are themselves at risk for colorectal cancer.
排除标准

- •Any excess bleeding or coagulation disorders
- •Subjects taking anti-coagulants, sterol-binding resins, NSAIDs other than aspirin, < 600mg per day, other study medications, or other multiple medications that might, in the view of the study physicians, alter colonic function of inflammation
