Comprehensive analysis of the effect of rs2295080 and rs2536 polymorphisms within the mTOR gene on cancer risk.

There is still no conclusion on the potential effect of the rs2295080 and rs2536 polymorphisms of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) gene on different cancers. Herein, we performed a comprehensive assessment using pooled analysis, FPRP (false-positive report probability), TSA (trial sequential analysis), and eQTL (expression quantitative trait loci) analysis. Eighteen high-quality articles from China were enrolled.

[Multi-scale spatial variability of soil salinity in typical fields of the Yellow River Delta in summer].

Soil salinization severely hinders the development of agricultural economy in the Yellow River Delta. Clarifying the spatial variability of soil salinity at multiple scales in the field is of great significance for the improvement and utilization of saline soils and agricultural production. In this study, by dividing the three dimensions of field, plot and ridge, we collceted 152 sets of conducti-vity data through field survey sampling in a summer maize field in Kenli County of the Yellow River delta.

Comprehensive Analysis of the Association Between the rs1138272 Polymorphism of the GSTP1 Gene and Cancer Susceptibility.

We obtained conflicting results regarding the relationship between the genetic role of the rs1138272 C/T polymorphism of the (Glutathione -Transferase pi) gene and the risk of various cancers. Using the presently available data, a meta-analysis was conducted to comprehensively evaluate the genetic relationship between the rs1138272 polymorphism and cancer susceptibility. A total of 43 studies including 15,688 cases and 17,143 controls were recruited into our quantitative synthesis.
