Article Synopsis
- Tacrolimus is a key medication for preventing acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT), and this study investigates its blood concentration correlation with aGVHD incidence in Chinese patients.
- A retrospective analysis of 104 Chinese alloHSCT recipients showed significant variability in tacrolimus blood levels (Cv, C0, C2) during the first 8 weeks post-transplant, with higher concentrations potentially linked to a lower risk of aGVHD, although the trend wasn't statistically significant due to the small sample size.
- The study concludes that monitoring tacrolimus blood levels, particularly at specific time points during treatment, can help predict and
Previous studies suggested that smoking and passive smoking could increase the risk of breast cancer, but the results were inconsistent, especially for Chinese females. Thus, we systematically searched cohort and case-control studies investigating the associations of active and passive smoking with breast cancer risk among Chinese females in four English databases (PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, and Wiley) and three Chinese databases (CNKI, WanFang, and VIP). Fifty-one articles (3 cohort studies and 48 case-control studies) covering 17 provinces of China were finally included in this systematic review.

Background: Evidence for associations between dietary factors and breast cancer risk is inconclusive among Chinese females. To evaluate this question, we conducted a systematic review of relevant case-control and cohort studies.
Methods: Studies were systematically searched among 5 English databases (PudMed, ScienceDirect, Wiley, Clinicaltrials.
Objective: To evaluate associations between tea consumption, alcohol drinking and physical activity and breast cancer risk among Chinese females.
Methods: Three English databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect and Wiley) and three Chinese databases (CNKI, WanFang and VIP) were independently searched by 2 reviewers up to December 2012, complemented by manual searches. The quality of included studies was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale items.
