Coming to China has been more of the same for the former sports and entertainment lawyer from Texas. In his capacity as chief executive officer （China） at Clear Channel Entertainment （CCE）, a world leader in organizing live events, Cunningham has spent much of his time in the country traveling from city to city, assessing potential venues and striking deals with local partners. In March this year, after three years of negotiations between CCE and Chinese political and cultural leaders, Cunningham finally announced the establishment of a new joint venture company, Gehua Clear Channel Sports and Entertainment Ltd, which will have a 5o-year right of first refusal on arranging and promoting live shows in China.展开更多

In the patients included in the colon cancer group, JC virus was searched for in the surgical specimen; in the control group, JC virus was searched for in the hepatic biopsy. The difference in the prevalence of JC virus in the hepatic biopsy between the two groups was assessed through the χ2 test.RESULTS: Four out of 19 patients with colon cancer had a positive polymerase chain reaction(PCR) test for JC virus, and four had liver metastasis. Among the patients with liver metastasis, three out of four had a positive PCR test for JC virus in the surgical specimen and in the liver biopsy; the only patient with liver metastasis with a negative test for JC virus also presented a negative test for JC virus in the surgical specimen. In the control group of patients with hepatitis C infection, none of the ten patients presented JC virus infection in the hepatic biopsy. The difference between the two groups regarding JC virus infection was statistically significant(χ2 = 9.55, P = 0.002).CONCLUSION: JC virus may play a broader role than previously thought, and may be mechanistically involved in the late stages of these tumors.展开更多
