Cancer Res Treat
November 2024
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the association between inflammatory cytokines and the risk of gastric cancer (GC).
Materials And Methods: We conducted a case-cohort study using Korean National Cancer Center Community (KNCCC) cohort data to investigate the associations between pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory cytokines, inflammatory mediators, and GC risk in the Korean general population (GC cases: n=159, subcohort: n=822). Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines were measured using Quantikine® ELISA and analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model.
Article Synopsis
- - South Korea enacted specific legislation to combat stalking on October 21, 2021, leading to the evaluation of 193 legal cases within the first year to analyze the risks and characteristics of stalking incidents.
- - The analysis focused on stalker and victim profiles, nature of their relationships, motivations behind stalking, and patterns of behavior, revealing that a significant portion of stalkers (16.6%) had mental disorders, primarily psychosis.
- - The majority of victims were around 43 years old, with more females than males affected, and most stalkers were ex-partners motivated by rejection, often using direct methods of contact rather than indirect approaches.
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between benzene and toluene, and the ratio of triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C). This cross-sectional study analyzed 1928 adults using nationally representative data from the Korean National Environmental Health Survey (KoNEHS) Cycle 4 (2018-2020). Urinary trans, trans-muconic acid (t,t-MA) and benzylmercapturic acid (BMA) were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides (TGs) were analyzed by colorimetry.
