NIEHS STATISTICAL CONSULTING SERVICE

该项目的目标是提供统计和计算专业知识的设计，分析和解释的实验和观察研究的各种研究所的研究活动，包括实验室和人体研究。 在2000财政年度，大约有80名NIEHS科学家利用了统计咨询服务。 其中许多活动涉及由国家毒理学计划（NTP）进行的长期啮齿动物致癌性研究。在2000财政年度，我们为大约12份技术报告a的编写提供了重要投入，这些报告总结了这些研究的结果。 我们还在科学文献中共同撰写了关于电磁场和硫酸钴致癌作用的论文。 其他合作的例子包括评估纯化的、开放的和封闭的配方动物饲料中的植物雌激素含量，以及抗氧化剂夹竹桃苷和天然水溶性抗氧化剂对脂多糖诱导的大鼠细胞损伤的影响。

The goal of this project is to provide statistical and computational expertise in the design, analysis, and interpretation of experimental and observational studies for a variety of Institute research activities, including both laboratory and human studies. Approximately 80 NIEHS scientists made use of he Statistical Consulting Service in FY2000. Many of these activities involved long term rodent carcinogenicity studies carried out by the National Toxicology Program (NTP). Dyrubing FY2000 we provided significant input into the preparation of approximately 12 Technical Reporftsa tha summarize the results of these studies. We also coauthored paper sin the scientific literature delaing with teh carcinogenic effects of electromagnetic fields and cobalt sulfate. Examples of other collaborations include an assessment of the phytoestrogen content of purified, open and closed formula animal dies and the effects of antioxidants apocynin and the natural water-soluble antioxidant on cellular damage inducee by lipopolysaccaride in the rat.
