Napping to a Healthier Heart?

1 Researchers say they have developed a simple test that can tell if a person with heart disease is
likely to suffer a heart attack.The test measures levels of a protein in the blood.The researchers say people
with high levels of this protein are at high risk of heart attack,heart failure or stroke.
2 Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo of the University of California in San Francisco led the team.For about
four years,they studied almost one thousand patients with heart disease.The researchers tested the heart
disease patients for a protein called NT-proBNP. Patients with the highest levels were nearly eight times more
likely than those with the lowest levels to have a heart attack,heart failure or stroke.
3 The researchers say the presence of high levels of the protein in the blood shows that the heart
muscle is under pressure in some way.The study involved mostly men,so the researchers could not say for
sure that the results are also true for women.They say the patients with the highest levels of NT-proBNP
were older and had other problems like diabetes or high blood pressure.
4 Other researchers say more studies are needed to confirm if knowing the protein levels of a heart
disease patient should affect that person’s treatment.They also would like to know if more aggressive
treatment could reduce the patient's chance of a heart attack or stroke.The study appeared in the
Journal of the American Medical Association.
5 Could a little sleep during the middle of the day reduce the risk of a heart attack?An unrelated
study earlier this month in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that the answer may be yes.In countries
like the United States,afternoon naps are mostly for children. But they are common for adults in
Mediterranean countries.And these countries generally have lower rates of heart disease.So scientists in the
United States and Greece wondered if naps could play a part.Twenty-three thousand healthy adults took part
in the study by Harvard University and the University of Athens.Those who took thirty-minute naps three
times a week had a thirty-seven percent lower risk of death from heart problems than people who did not take
naps.
6 The researchers say napping may improve heart health by reducing stress.They say the research
suggests that naps are especially good for working men.But they say not enough female subjects died during
the study to judge the benefits for women.

Paragraph 3 ________
A:More Questions to Be Asked
B:Older Males Have Higher Levels of NT-proBNP
C:Development of a Simple But Important Test
D:Evidence of Positive Relationship Between Napping and Heart Discase
E: How to Control the Levels of NT- proBNP
F: Effects of NT-proBNP on Heart Disease

Medical experts have suspected for many years that there is a strong link between what a person eats and
cancer. They say a new study provides the first evidence that vitamins could reduce a person's chance of
developing cancer. A team of Chinese and American scientists did the study.They are from American
National Cancer Institute and the Cancer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing.
The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of the study. About thirty thousand people
between the ages of 40 to 69 took part in the study.They were from the northern central Chinese area of
Linxian.Most of them took vitamins and minerals everyday for five years.
Linxian was chosen because the people there have an extremely high rate of cancer of stomach and
esophagus.Researchers believe that fungus and molds in local foods may be partly responsible for the high
cancer rate.Researchers divided those people into eight groups.Seven of the groups received different
mixtures of vitamins and minerals daily.The amounts of the vitamins and minerals were 1 to 2 times greater
than what American health officials say is needed.The eighth group received sugar pills that had no effect.
Those who seemed to gain the most received a mixture of a form of vitamin A called β-carotene,vitamin E
and the mineral selenium（硒）.The vitamin and mineral are believed to prevent damage to cells caused by
cancer-causing substances.Researchers reported a 1 3 percent drop in cancer rates in those who took
β-carotene,vitamin E and selenium.They also found a 10 percent drop in the number of deaths caused by
strokes from bursting blood vessels.
Scientists warn that it is too soon to know if the effect would be the same among people in other
countries.They note that the people in Linxian eat foods that lack necessary vitamins and minerals.Chinese
officials will continue to record the health records of the people in Linxian for many years.For now officials
reportedly are considering using the results of the study.They want to find a way to improve the health of
people in Linxian and other small towns in China.

All those people who took part in the study received vitamins and minerals.

B:Wrong
