“…Based on these findings, miR-181a-5p was supposed to be a tumour suppressor. In contrast, a number of studies showed that miR-181a-5p was upregulated and acted as an oncomiR in gastric carcinogenesis by suppressing RASSF6, ATM or KLF6 expression [29, 43–45]. In accordance with these findings, we showed that miR-181a-5p promoted proliferation and migration of GC cells and enhanced tumour growth in vivo.…”

BackgroundProtein-tyrosine phosphatase MEG2 (MEG2) is a classic tyrosine-specific protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP). It has been reported that MEG2 participates in the carcinogenesis of the breast and liver. However, functions of MEG2 in gastric cancer remain poorly understood.MethodsWe examined the expression of MEG2 protein by western blotting and that of miR-181a-5p by qRT-PCR. We used bioinformatic analyses to search for miRNAs that potentially target MEG2. We performed a luciferase reporter assay to investigate the interaction between miR-181a-5p and MEG2. In addition, we assessed the effects of MEG2 and miR-181a-5p on gastric cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.ResultsWe found that MEG2 is downregulated in human gastric cancer and that miR-181a-5p is predicted to be a potential regulator of MEG2. We also observed that expression of MEG2 is reversely correlated with that of miR-181a-5p in gastric cancer. Moreover, we observed that MEG2 regulation by miR-181a-5p significantly suppresses the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells in vitro and decelerates tumour growth in vivo.ConclusionsOur results revealed that MEG2 is a tumour suppressor gene and negatively regulated by miR-181a-5p in gastric cancer.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12943-017-0695-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…This was slightly lower than the 44.7% -48.2% of the age from forties to sixties women undergoing mammography within 2 years, reported from a nation-wide survey (KBCS, 2013). However, this was higher than the 24% reported from a study of Chinese and Korean Chinese women who are married (Gang et al, 2013).…”

“…Among full time employees, time flexibility may be an important factor to induce high job stress and a barrier to obtaining a health examination (Kim et al, 2009;Kim et al, 2011). It was reported that the women less than high school graduates has showed less regular mammography performance as 0.4 times (Gang et al, 2013). However this study showed no significant differences of regular mammography performance between education levels.…”

“…Menopause is an important phase in women's health and is promoted as the life phase in which to increase health examination awareness. The study of Gang et al (2013) predicted 3.1 times of familiarity to mammography. In our study, 91.7% of the women undergoing HRT also underwent regular mammography, indicating a high awareness of the importance of mammography for menopausal women undergoing HRT.…”

Background: This study analyzed predictors of regular mammography performance in Korea. In addition, we determined factors affecting regular mammography performance in life-transition aged women by applying an attitude, social influence, and self-efficacy (ASE) model. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from women aged over 40 years residing in province J in Korea. The 178 enrolled subjects provided informed voluntary consent prior to completing a structural questionnaire. Results: The overall regular mammography performance rate of the subjects was 41.6%. Older age, city residency, high income and part-time job were associated with a high regular mammography performance. Among women who had undergone more breast self-examinations (BSE) or more doctors' physical examinations (PE), there were higher regular mammography performance rates. All three ASE model factors were significantly associated with regular mammography performance. Women with a high level of positive ASE values had a significantly high regular mammography performance rate. Within the ASE model, self-efficacy and social influence were particularly important. Logistic regression analysis explained 34.7% of regular mammography performance and PE experience (β=4.645, p=.003), parttime job (β=4.010, p=.050), self-efficacy (β=1.820, p=.026) and social influence (β=1.509, p=.038) were significant factors. Conclusions: Promotional strategies that could improve self-efficacy, reinforce social influence and reduce geographical, time and financial barriers are needed to increase the regular mammography performance rate in life-transition aged.

Asian Pac J Cancer Prev, 15 (16), 6535-6541 IntroductionBreast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL)is a chronic and common complication caused by abnormal accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the interstitial space secondary to inadequate lymphatic drainage, which manifests unilateral or bilateral upper extremity swelling in the clinical. (Cheville et al., 2003). Lymphedema and its related symptoms (pain, heaviness, tightness, and decreased range of motion) seriously affect recreational and social relationships (Hayes et al., 2012). Patients with BCRL have a lower quality of life, a higher level of anxiety or depression (Pyszel et al., 2006;Heiney et al., 2007).Due to differences in study designs, measurement methods and criterias , length of follow-up, lymphedema definitions and timing of lymphedema measurement since diagnosis and treatment, previous studies have shown about 20% of breast cancer survivors will develop lymphedema. (sakorafas et al., 2006) In recent years, many studies have established risk factors of BCRL, but conclusions are not consistent, which even contradict each other from some studies. The study systematically reviews the risk factors for BCRL with meta-analysis method to increase the credibility of the conclusions for the purpose of providing scientific evidence for early prevention of lymphedema in clinical work. Materials and Methods Literature SearchWe searched comprehensively clinical studies which were published in PubMed, Ovid, EMbase, the Cochrane Library from January 1, 1996 to December 30, 2012. The MeSH headings and keywords in this search used included "breast cancer", "upper extremity", "lymphedema" and "risk factors" Relevant articles were identified and their references were checked for additional studies.The search strategy used: ( ("Breast Neoplasms" (Mesh) AND "Upper Extremity" (Mesh)) AND ("Lymphedema" (Mesh) OR "Edema" (Mesh)) AND ("1996/01/01" (PDAT) : "2012/12/31" (PDAT)) Inclusion and Exclusion CriteriaInclusion criteria: studies of female patients with unilateral breast cancer; the primary studies of risk factors for BCRL published abroad.Exclusion criteria: studies of patients with bilateral breast cancer, primary lymphoedema, or metastatic disease (n=258); review, meta-analyses, editorial, comment , and case reports (n=121); studies that did not either inform OR and 95%CI or provide adequate information to calculate the OR and its variance (n=39); non-English-language studies (n=8).
