Passivation effect on Cd 0.95Mn 0.05Te 0.98Se 0.02 radiation detection performance. Appl Radiat Isot 2023; 200:110914. [PMID: 37423060 DOI: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2023.110914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 06/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
CdTe-based detectors have the problem of Te-rich surface layers caused by Br etching, which is one of fabrication steps. Te-rich layer acts as a trapping center and serves as an additional source of charge carriers, thereby degrading transport property of charge carriers and enriching leakage current on surface of detector. To solve this problem, we introduced sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as a passivant, and investigated its effect on Cd0.95Mn0.05Te0.98Se0.02 (CMTS), by analyzing chemical state of surface and its performance. After passivation with NaOCl, the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows the formation of tellurium oxide and elimination of water on CMTS surface, and CMTS presented enhanced performance with Am-241 radioisotope. Consequently, it is demonstrated that the passivation with NaOCl reduces leakage current, compensates defect, and elevates transport of charge carriers, thereby decreasing charge loss of carriers and improving performance of CMTS detector.

Interaction between epidermal growth factor receptor and C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 in the ovulatory cascade. Front Cell Dev Biol 2023; 11:1161813.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway is one of the main pathways responsible for propagating the luteinizing hormone (LH) signal throughout the cumulus cells and the oocyte. Recently, we have proposed the C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) and its main ligand (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, MCP1) as novel mediators of the ovulatory cascade. Our previous results demonstrate that the gonadotropins (GNT), amphiregulin (AREG), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) stimulation of periovulatory gene mRNA levels occurs, at least in part, through the CCR2/MCP1 pathway, proposing the CCR2 receptor as a novel mediator of the ovulatory cascade in a feline model. For that purpose, feline cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were cultured in the presence or absence of an EGFR inhibitor, recombinant chemokine MCP1, and gonadotropins [as an inducer of cumulus-oocyte expansion (C-OE), and oocyte maturation] to further assess the mRNA expression of periovulatory key genes, C-OE, oocyte nuclear maturation, and steroid hormone production. We observed that MCP1 was able to revert the inhibition of AREG mRNA expression by an EGFR inhibitor within the feline COC. In accordance, the confocal analysis showed that the GNT-stimulated hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesis, blocked by the EGFR inhibitor, was recovered by the addition of recombinant MCP1 in the C-OE culture media. Also, MCP1 was able to revert the inhibition of progesterone (P4) production by EGFR inhibitor in the C-OE culture media. Regarding oocyte nuclear maturation, recombinant MCP1 could also revert the inhibition triggered by the EGFR inhibitor, leading to a recovery in the percentage of metaphase II (MII)-stage oocytes. In conclusion, our results confirm the chemokine receptor CCR2 as a novel intermediate in the ovulatory cascade and demonstrate that the EGFR/AREG and the CCR2/MCP1 signaling pathways play critical roles in regulating feline C-OE and oocyte nuclear maturation, with CCR2/MCP1 signaling pathway being downstream EGFR/AREG pathway within the ovulatory cascade.

Abstract
Cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) has been actively researched and developed by researchers in various fields. In medical applications, especially photon-counting, CZT enables improved image quality, multi-material decomposition, and improved dose efficiency. Moreover, band gap engineering and selenium addition on CZT improved electrical, spectroscopic and structural properties, thereby supporting performance of CZT as a photon-counting detector. In this study, it is shown that Cd0.875Zn0.125Te0.98Se0.02 (CZTS) shows sufficient performance without loss of detection efficiency. We carried out a study involving the application of this CZTS on calculating bone mineral density (BMD) values, because this application has a novelty of new material for BMD sensor which follows the CdTe- or CdZnTe- based BMD detector. Anatomical images from different energy bins contained different information of attenuation although the images were taken in the same region at the same time. Moreover, calculated BMD values had a proper tendency depending on the amount of bone in that region. The final BMD value was 1.1972 g/cm2, which is close to the real value of 1.2 g/cm2. The introduction with a bone filter and a smaller pixel size will improve the accuracy and precision of photon-counting CZTS detectors for measuring BMD values. However, in this study the CZTS showed the feasibility that a photon-counting CZTS detector can help the measurement of BMD values and the diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Synthetic MR imaging is a time-efficient technique. However, its rather long scan time can be challenging for children. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical feasibility of accelerated synthetic MR imaging with deep learning-based reconstruction in pediatric neuroimaging and to investigate the impact of deep learning-based reconstruction on image quality and quantitative values in synthetic MR imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 47 children 2.3-14.7 years of age who underwent both standard and accelerated synthetic MR imaging at 3T. The accelerated synthetic MR imaging was reconstructed using a deep learning pipeline. The image quality, lesion detectability, tissue values, and brain volumetry were compared among accelerated deep learning and accelerated and standard synthetic data sets. RESULTS The use of deep learning-based reconstruction in the accelerated synthetic scans significantly improved image quality for all contrast weightings (P < .001), resulting in image quality comparable with or superior to that of standard scans. There was no significant difference in lesion detectability between the accelerated deep learning and standard scans (P > .05). The tissue values and brain tissue volumes obtained with accelerated deep learning and the other 2 scans showed excellent agreement and a strong linear relationship (all, R 2 > 0.9). The difference in quantitative values of accelerated scans versus accelerated deep learning scans was very small (tissue values, <0.5%; volumetry, -1.46%-0.83%). CONCLUSIONS The use of deep learning-based reconstruction in synthetic MR imaging can reduce scan time by 42% while maintaining image quality and lesion detectability and providing consistent quantitative values. The accelerated deep learning synthetic MR imaging can replace standard synthetic MR imaging in both contrast-weighted and quantitative imaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases and is characterized by sinonasal inflammation that lasts longer than 12 weeks. Whether the effect of chronic inflammation caused by CRS on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is similar to its effect on other inflammatory disorders has not been thoroughly evaluated. We aimed to demonstrate whether CRS patients have a higher prevalence of CVDs, including stroke and ischemic heart disease (IHD). METHODOLOGY We compared the prevalence of various comorbidities between CRS and control participants through a case-control cohort study from 2002 to 2015 that included 514,866 participants. CRS (n=6,552) and control (n=26,208) participants who were over 40 years old were selected by matching age, sex, income, and area of residence at a 1:4 ratio. RESULTS A stratified Cox proportional hazards model was utilized to assess the hazard ratio (HR) of CRS for stroke and IHD. The HRs for stroke and IHD were significantly increased in CRS patients compared to controls after adjusting for obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, hemoglobin, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores. The HR of stroke was significantly higher in the absence of nasal polyps than in the presence of nasal polyps. The HR of IHD was significantly increased in the CRS group regardless of the presence of nasal polyps. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that CRS participants had a significantly higher prevalence of stroke and IHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inconsistent results about the effect of air pollution on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) have been reported. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of meteorological conditions/air pollution on the prevalence of CRS in adult Koreans. METHODOLOGY The data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort from 2002 through 2015 were used. A CRS group (defined as ICD-10 codes J32, n=6159) was matched with a control group (n=24,636) in 1:4 ratios by age, sex, income, and region of residence. The meteorological conditions and air pollution data included the daily mean, highest, and lowest temperature (°C), daily temperature range (°C), relative humidity (%), ambient atmospheric pressure (hPa), sunshine duration (hr), and the rainfall (mm), SO2 (ppm), NO2 (ppm), O3 (ppm), CO (ppm), and PM10 (μg/m3) levels before the CRS diagnosis. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for CRS were analyzed using logistic regression analyses. RESULTS When the NO2 level increased by 0.1 ppm, the odds for CRS increased 5.40 times, and when the CO level increased by 1 ppm and PM10 increased by 10 μg/m3, the odds for CRS decreased 0.75 times and 0.93 times, respectively. Other meteorological conditions, such as the mean/highest/lowest temperature, temperature range, rainfall and other air pollution, such as SO2 and O3, were not statistically significant. NO2 for 90 days before the index date increased the risk of CRS in all subgroups, except for the nasal polyp and older age subgroups. CONCLUSION CRS is related to high concentrations of NO2.

Abstract
To compare the diagnosis andtreatment rates of osteoporosis and diabetes in Korea, a nationwide database was used. The results showed that although osteoporosis management is improving, it is still lower compared with that of diabetes; thus, further efforts are needed in this regard. INTRODUCTION This study aimed to re-evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis from the KNHANES 2016-2017 and compare the temporal change of the rate with those of diabetes as another prevalent chronic disease in South Korea. METHODS The prevalence of osteoporosis in 2016 was estimated using the previous data classified by age groups (50-59,60-69, and ≥70years) and the 2016 Korean census data. The physician diagnosis and treatment rates of osteoporosis in adults aged ≥50years were estimated using the 2016-2017 KNHANES data. The physician diagnosis and treatment rates of diabetes were evaluated using the KNHANES 2008-2009 and 2016-2017 data. RESULTS The estimated physician diagnosisrate of osteoporosis increased from 29.9% in females and 5.8% in males in 2008-2009 to 62.8% in females and 22.8% in males in 2016-2017. The treatment rate for the estimated total number of patients with osteoporosis increased from 14.4% in females and 3.8% in males in 2008-2009 to 32.2% in females and 9.0% in males in 2016-2017. An increasing trend in the estimated treatment rateof physician-diagnosed osteoporosis patients was not observed (48.3% [2008-2009] vs 51.5% [2016-2017] in females; 42.6% [2008-2009] vs 42.2% [2016-2017] in males). The physician diagnosis and treatment rates of diabetes were considerably better and more stable than those of osteoporosis. CONCLUSION Osteoporosis management in South Korea is improving but is insufficient compared with diabetes management. More extensive efforts are needed to improve the diagnosis and treatment rates of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and chronic otitis media (COM) share pathophysiological mechanisms such as bacterial infection, biofilm, and persistence of the obstruction state of ventilation routes. However, only a few studies have investigated the relationship between these two diseases nationwide and in the general population. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the incidence of COM in patients with CRS differed from that of a matched control from the national health screening cohort. METHODS Data from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service-National Patient Samples were collected from 2002 to 2015. Participants who were treated ≥ ≥ ≥2 times and underwent head and neck computed tomography evaluation were selected. A 1:4 matched CRS group (n=8,057) and a control group (n=32,228) were selected. The control group included participants who were never treated with the ICD-10 code J32 from 2002 to 2015. The CRS group included CRS patients with/without nasal polyps. RESULTS The incidence of COM was significantly higher in the CRS group than in the control group. In a subgroup analysis, the incidence of COM in all age groups and in men and women was significantly higher in the CRS group than in the control group. More, CRS increased the risk of COM. CONCLUSIONS A significant association was observed between CRS and COM. This indicates that CRS patients have a high risk of developing COM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and atherosclerosis is a cause of cardiac comorbidities in COPD. However, it is not clear whether airflow limitation is associated with atherosclerosis irrespective of smoking.OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether airflow limitation is independently associated with vascular stiffness.METHODS: We enrolled 18 893 participants (male 70.5%; mean age 47.5 ± 9.8 years; never smokers 44.2%) who underwent spirometry and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) as part of a standard health examination at Ajou University Hospital, Suwon, South Korea, from January 2010 to December 2015.We defined vascular peripheral atherosclerosis as baPWV ≥ 1400 cm/s and airflow limitation as pre-bronchodilator ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) <70%.RESULTS: Mean baPWV was higher in subjects with airflow limitation (1477.6 ± 331.7 cm/sec, n = 638) than in those without airflow limitation (1344.1 ± 231.8 cm/sec, n = 18255, P < 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the following were independent predictors associated with peripheral atherosclerosis (P < 0.05): age, male sex, fasting serum glucose, mean blood pressure, serum leukocyte count, serum low density lipoprotein level and FEV1.CONCLUSION: Airflow limitation was an independent predictor of vascular stiffness irrespective of smoking history, which suggests that airflow limitation is linked with atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Although next generation sequencing (NGS) has become commonplace for breast and other cancers, interpretation of reports remains a challenging unmet need. This is further confounded by the therapeutic importance of understanding and interpreting whether pathogenic variants/mutations are germline versus somatic. Here we will discuss and provide examples of how molecular tumor boards can aid clinicians in providing interpretation of NGS results for optimal patient benefit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Breslow depth is an important parameter to determine the excision margin and prognosis of melanoma. However, it is difficult to accurately determine the actual Breslow depth before surgery using the existing ocular micrometer and biopsy technique. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the use of 3D wide-field multispectral photoacoustic imaging to non-invasively measure depth and outline the boundary of melanomas for optimal surgical margin selection. METHODS Six melanoma patients were examined in vivo using the 3D multispectral photoacoustic imaging system. For five cases of melanomas (one in situ, three nodular, and one acral lentiginous type melanoma), the spectrally unmixed photoacoustic depths were calculated and compared against histopathological depths. RESULTS Spectrally unmixed photoacoustic depths and histopathological depths match well within a mean absolute error of 0.36 mm. In particular, the measured minimum and maximum depths in the in situ and nodular type of melanoma were 0.6 and 9.1 mm, respectively. In the 3D photoacoustic image of one metastatic melanoma, feeding vessels were visualized in the melanoma, suggesting the neovascularization around the tumour. CONCLUSIONS The 3D multispectral photoacoustic imaging not only provides well-measured depth and sizes of various types of melanomas, it also visualizes the metastatic type of melanoma. Obtaining accurate depth and boundary information of melanoma before surgery would play a useful role in the complete excision of melanoma during surgery.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The risks for hip fracture and vertebral fracture, but not the risk for distal radius fracture, were significantly higher in the blindness group than in the control group with a maximum 12-year follow-up. PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of visual impairment on the risk for osteoporotic fractures at common sites: hip, thoracic/lumbar vertebra, and distal radius. METHODS This longitudinal follow-up study used a database of a national sample cohort from 2002 to 2013 provided by the Korean National Health Insurance Service. Of a total of 1,125,691 subjects, 3918 patients with visual impairment and age ≥ 50 years were enrolled in a 1:4 ratio; 15,672 control participants were matched for age, sex, income, and region of residence. Stratified Cox proportional-hazards models were used to evaluate the crude and adjusted (for steroid medication, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, and stroke history) hazard ratios (HRs) for each fracture site. Fracture diagnoses were based on the ICD-10 codes: hip fracture (S720, S721, S722), vertebral fracture (S220, S320), and distal radius fracture (S525). RESULTS The HRs for hip and vertebral fracture were significantly higher in the blindness group (adjusted HR = 2.46, p < 0.001 for hip fracture; adjusted HR = 1.42, p = 0.020 for thoracic/lumbar vertebral fracture) than in the matched control group. However, the HR for distal radius fracture was not higher in the blindness group. The HRs for all three fracture sites were not significantly higher in the non-blindness visual impairment group after adjustment. CONCLUSION The risks for hip fracture and vertebral fracture were significantly higher in the blindness group. However, the risk for distal radius fracture was not related to visual impairment including blindness.

The effects of foraminotomy and intervertebral distraction on the volume of the lumbosacral intervertebral neurovascular foramen: An ex vivo study. Vet J 2020; 256:105435. [PMID: 32113586 DOI: 10.1016/j.tvjl.2020.105435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2019] [Revised: 01/26/2020] [Accepted: 01/27/2020] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
Degenerative lumbosacral stenosis in dogs frequently involves L7-S1 foraminal stenosis and L7 nerve root compression. Surgical techniques to decompress the L7 nerve root include foraminotomy and intervertebral distraction. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of foraminotomy and intervertebral distraction on the total, cranial, and caudal compartmental volumes of the L7-S1 intervertebral neurovascular foramen (NF). CT images were obtained from eight canine lumbosacral (L5-CD1) specimens in the following sequential conditions: native spine (1), after dorsal laminectomy and partial discectomy of L7-S1 (2), after L7-S1 foraminotomy (3), after distraction with an interbody cage between L7 and S1 (4), after cage distraction stabilized with pedicle screw-rod fixation in neutral (5) and flexed position (6). The volume of the complete NF and its cranial and caudal subcompartments were calculated using the CT images and statistically compared between conditions. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The volume of the complete NF was significantly increased after foraminotomy (mean ± standard deviation (146.8 ± 26.5%, P < 0.01) and after distraction (Condition 4, 121.0 ± 19.1%; Condition 5, 116.6 ± 29.3 %; Condition 6, 119.0 ± 21.8 %; P = 0.01) with no difference between the distraction conditions. Foraminotomy induced a significantly larger increase in total NF volume compared to distraction. Foraminotomy, but not distraction, induced a significant increase in volume of the cranial subcompartment (158.2 ± 33.2 %; P < 0.01). Foraminotomy is more effective in increasing the foraminal volume and especially the cranial subcompartment, which is where the L7 nerve root traverses the NF. Hence, foraminotomy may be more effective in decompressing the L7 nerve root.

Abstract
AIMS Several meta-analyses of observational studies report a long-term correlation between air pollution and the risk of cancer, particularly lung carcinoma. The aim of this study was to review and quantify evidence for an association between air pollution and the risk of developing non-lung cancers. METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and the reference lists of the included studies as well as those recorded in previous meta-analyses conducted before January 2019. A random-effects model was used to derive overall risk estimates per pollutant. RESULTS A total of 20 studies, including 5 case-control and 15 prospective cohort studies, were used in the final analysis. The risk of developing non-lung cancer was 1.09 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-1.18, I2 = 72.9%) per NO2 increases of 10 µg/m3. There was also a significant association between exposure to PM2.5 and PM10 and the risk of non-lung cancer when the male and female populations were combined (pooled odds ratio/relative risk (OR/RR) = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.11-1.34; I2 = 0.0% and pooled OR/RR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.05-1.52; I2 = 43.9%, respectively). Regarding the type of cancer, significant harmful effects of PM2.5 were observed for liver cancer populations (pooled OR/RR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.10-1.32; I2 = 0.0%). Different types of cancer were positively associated with the incidence of non-lung cancer and PM10 in the random-effect meta-regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS Long-term exposure to air pollutants appears to be associated with an increased risk of non-lung cancer. Care should be taken in interpretation, because the results for specific cancers were restricted.

Abstract
Background Estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) metastatic breast cancer is often intractable due to endocrine therapy resistance. Although ESR1 promoter switching events have been associated with endocrine-therapy resistance, recurrent ESR1 fusion proteins have yet to be identified in advanced breast cancer. Patients and methods To identify genomic structural rearrangements (REs) including gene fusions in acquired resistance, we undertook a multimodal sequencing effort in three breast cancer patient cohorts: (i) mate-pair and/or RNAseq in 6 patient-matched primary-metastatic tumors and 51 metastases, (ii) high coverage (>500×) comprehensive genomic profiling of 287-395 cancer-related genes across 9542 solid tumors (5216 from metastatic disease), and (iii) ultra-high coverage (>5000×) genomic profiling of 62 cancer-related genes in 254 ctDNA samples. In addition to traditional gene fusion detection methods (i.e. discordant reads, split reads), ESR1 REs were detected from targeted sequencing data by applying a novel algorithm (copyshift) that identifies major copy number shifts at rearrangement hotspots. Results We identify 88 ESR1 REs across 83 unique patients with direct confirmation of 9 ESR1 fusion proteins (including 2 via immunoblot). ESR1 REs are highly enriched in ER-positive, metastatic disease and co-occur with known ESR1 missense alterations, suggestive of polyclonal resistance. Importantly, all fusions result from a breakpoint in or near ESR1 intron 6 and therefore lack an intact ligand binding domain (LBD). In vitro characterization of three fusions reveals ligand-independence and hyperactivity dependent upon the 3' partner gene. Our lower-bound estimate of ESR1 fusions is at least 1% of metastatic solid breast cancers, the prevalence in ctDNA is at least 10× enriched. We postulate this enrichment may represent secondary resistance to more aggressive endocrine therapies applied to patients with ESR1 LBD missense alterations. Conclusions Collectively, these data indicate that N-terminal ESR1 fusions involving exons 6-7 are a recurrent driver of endocrine therapy resistance and are impervious to ER-targeted therapies.

Abstract
AIM To compare the therapeutic efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within the Milan criteria with or without the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with HCC within the Milan criteria who underwent conventional angiography-guided TACE (Angio-TACE group: 58 patients from January 2010 to December 2011) were compared with those who underwent CBCT-guided TACE (CBCT-TACE group: 55 patients from January 2013 to December 2014). Local progression-free survival (LPFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared. Adverse events after TACE were also investigated. RESULTS Baseline characteristics were balanced between the two groups. LPFS was significantly longer in the CBCT-TACE group than in the Angio-TACE group (median: not reached for 36 versus 19.2 months, respectively; Log-rank p=0.029). In multivariable Cox regression analysis, CBCT guidance had a significantly lower risk of local progression or death (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.585; 95% confidence interval, 0.344-0.995; p=0.048); however, there was no significant difference in PFS (3-year PFS: 15.9% versus 26.8%, respectively; p=0.122) or OS (3-year OS: 85% versus 88.2%, respectively; p=0.761) between the Angio-TACE and CBCT-TACE groups. Post-embolisation syndrome occurred significantly less frequently in the CBCT-TACE group (p=0.002). CONCLUSION CBCT-guided TACE could improve local tumour control for HCC within Milan criteria and showed fewer cases of post-embolisation syndrome.

Abstract
PURPOSE Several meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reported no association between the use of statins and the risk of cancer. However, they included open-label RCTs, which did not use placebo as a control group. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of statins on cancer risk using a meta-analysis of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (RDBPCTs). METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library in March 2016. Two individual authors reviewed and selected RDBPCTs based on selection criteria. RESULTS Out of 676 retrieved articles, a total of 21 RDBPCTs with 65,196 participants (32,618 in the statin group and 32,578 in the placebo group) were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, we found that there was no significant association between the use of statins and the risk of cancer (relative risk 0.97, 95% confidence interval 0.92-1.02, I2 = 0.0%) in a fixed-effect meta-analysis. In addition, in the subgroup meta-analyses, no beneficial effect of statins was observed when analyzed by statin type, country, follow-up period, methodological quality, underlying diseases/population, and type of cancer. CONCLUSIONS The current meta-analysis of RDBPCTs found that there was no association between the use of statins and the risk of cancer.

Abstract
The discovery of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface 1 has resulted in the observation of many properties2-5 not present in conventional semiconductor heterostructures, and so become a focal point for device applications6-8. Its counterpart, the two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG), is expected to complement the 2DEG. However, although the 2DEG has been widely observed 9 , the 2DHG has proved elusive. Herein we demonstrate a highly mobile 2DHG in epitaxially grown SrTiO3/LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures. Using electrical transport measurements and in-line electron holography, we provide direct evidence of a 2DHG that coexists with a 2DEG at complementary heterointerfaces in the same structure. First-principles calculations, coherent Bragg rod analysis and depth-resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy consistently support our finding that to eliminate ionic point defects is key to realizing a 2DHG. The coexistence of a 2DEG and a 2DHG in a single oxide heterostructure provides a platform for the exciting physics of confined electron-hole systems and for developing applications.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Risk-reducing (RR) management decreases the risk of breast cancer and BRCA related gynecologic cancer. However, there are fewer reports on the RR management in Asia compared to Western countries.The aim of this study is to identify risk reducing management patterns with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers.
METHODS
The study group consisted of all consecutive 1104 breast cancer, ovarian patients and their families of high-risk patients who underwent BRCA gene testing in National Cancer Center, Korea from 2008 to 2016. A total 220 BRCA mutations (19.9%) were detected with 125(11.3%) of BRCA1 gene and 95 (8.6%) of BRCA2 gene.
RESULTS
Out of 220 BRCA mutations carriers, they were consisted of 83 breast cancers, 10 ovarian cancers, 7 both cancers, and 120 unaffected carriers. Among them, 42 were men and 178 were women. About 90 % (198/ 220) had the familial history of breast, ovarian or both malignancies (113 in BRCA1 and 85 in BRCA2 mutation (p=0.821)).
All 42 men chose surveillance. Among 178 female BRCA mutation carriers, 98(55.1%) underwent risk reducing management including 18(10.1%) of chemoprevention, and 80(49.9%) had risk-reducing surgeries (RRSs) (1 case of risk-reducing mastectomy, 76 of risk reducing bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy (RRSO), and 3 of both) and 80 (54.9%) chose only intensive surveillance for both of breast and ovary cancer.
In affected carriers with breast cancer, 59 (71.1%) underwent RR management (1 case of risk reducing mastectomy, 53 of RRSO, 3 of both surgery, and 2 of chemoprevention). There was no risk reducing management in affected carrier with ovarian cancer patients. In 78 unaffected women carriers, 39(50.0%) women received RR management (23(29.5%) cases of RRSO and 16(20.5%) cases of chemoprevention). The rates of RRSs have increased annually since the 2013 year, (prior to 2013 vs. since 2013, RRSs 28.6% (6 cases/21 carriers) vs. 37.2% (74/199), p<0.01).
CONCLUSION
This study was conducted on the largest numbers of BRCA mutation carriers in Asian countries. RRSO is the more preferred management for affected carriers with breast cancer or unaffected carriers. The results might be explained by the severity of the illness and that RRSO was only reimbursed RR strategy from the Korean Government Insurance. Tailored genetic counseling and insurance policy may enhance overall levels of RR management.
