    Abstract This study investigated gender differences in exposure to hazardous factors, health problems, and work environment satisfaction and identified the effects of such differences on farmworkers in Korea. Through the 6th Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS) conducted by the Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute (OSHRI), the raw data on 2347 farmworkers were analyzed to present descriptive statistics for demographic characteristics, exposure to hazardous factors, health problems, and work environment satisfaction. We compared genders using chi-squared tests and investigated the effects of gender-specific working conditions on work-related health problems and work environment satisfaction using multivariate logistic analysis. The results were presented as an odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval. Job position predicted work-related health problems in male farmworkers and work environment satisfaction in female farmworkers. Furthermore, female farmworkers perceived themselves to have more health problems than male farmworkers. Nevertheless, female farmworkers received less health and safety information and had lower work environment satisfaction compared to male farmworkers. The findings may improve the occupational welfare of farmworkers through continuous enhancement of the agricultural labor environment.

    Abstract Background and Objectives

    Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with poor patient prognosis because of its multiple molecular features. Thus, more effective treatment for TNBC is urgently needed. This study determined the possible involvement of ERK1/2 activation in cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in TNBC by providing additional eribulin treatment. Materials and Methods

    We investigated cell viability and apoptosis caused by eribulin, cisplatin, or co-treatment in HCC38, MDA-MB-231, and SKBR3 human breast cancer cells. Results

    Cisplatin significantly lowered cell viability and caused high apoptotic cell death in all breast cancer cell lines. The viability of TNBC cells was significantly lower in the group co-treated with cisplatin and eribulin than in the cisplatin-only treatment group. Additional eribulin treatment significantly enhanced PARP cleavage and caspase-3 activity in cisplatin-treated TNBC cells. Moreover, cisplatin treatment activated ERK1/2 in all breast cancer cell lines. The cisplatin and eribulin combination synergistically activated ERK1/2 in TNBC cells compared with the cisplatin-only treatment. Administration of the ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 increased the viability of TNBC cells treated with cisplatin plus eribulin. Conclusions

    Eribulin could synergize the cytotoxic and apoptotic activities of cisplatin and increase ERK1/2 activation, thus enhancing anti-cancer effects against TNBC cells.

    Abstract The number of breast reconstructions following mastectomy has increased significantly during the last decades, but women are experiencing a number of conflicts with breast reconstruction decisions. The aim of this study was to develop a decision tree model of breast reconstruction and to examine its predictability. Mixed method design using ethnographic decision tree modeling was used. In the qualitative stage, data were collected using individual and focus group interviews and analyzed to construct a decision tree model. In the quantitative stage, the questionnaire was developed questions based on the criteria identified in the qualitative stage. A total of 61 women with breast cancer participated in 2017. Five major criteria: recovery of body image; impact on recurrence; recommendations from others; financial resources; and confirmation by physicians. The model also included nine predictive pathways. It turns out that the model predicted 90% of decisions concerning whether or not to have breast reconstruction. The findings indicate that the five criteria play a key role in decision-making about whether or not to have breast reconstruction. Thus, more comprehensive issues, including these five criteria, need to be integrated into an intervention for women with breast cancer to make their best decision on breast reconstruction.

    Abstract Background: Mobility restrictions and economic downfall as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic may increase the risk of child maltreatment, including increased risk for violent discipline use by parents.
    Objective: We examined the socio-economic and psychosocial determinants of violent discipline among parents against children in Asia Pacific countries.
    Participants & settings: This secondary data analysis included 7765 parents with children 6-18 years old in eight Asia Pacific countries.
    Methods: 24 potential determinants were identified, including household demographic factors, parents' psychosocial status, and livelihood changes. The dependent variable was parental use of violent discipline (physical, severe physical, psycho-social aggression, and any violent discipline). Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted.
    Results: A total of 41 % of households reported violent discipline. Parental demographic characteristics that were positively related to use of violent discipline were living in rural areas, not being a household head, female sex, age younger than 35 years, and large family size. Poor parental mental health status, loss of job or reduced income due to COVID-19, lack of food at household level, parent engagement in petty trade, and owning a business also predicted violent discipline. Mandatory curfew and receiving pandemic-related education materials were also positive predictors.
    Conclusion: Some socio-demographic factors, economic hardship due to COVID-19, and poor mental health status of parents are associated with the use of violent discipline against children in the Asia Pacific region. These results highlight several potential target areas for child protection interventions by governmental and non-profit organizations, including economic, social, and mental health interventions.

    Abstract Background: Prediction of resistance mechanisms for epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) remains challenging. Thus, we investigated whether resistant cancer cells that expand shortly after EGFR-TKI treatment would eventually cause the resistant phenotype.
    Methods: We generated two
    Results: T790M mutation was only detected in the PC9GR cells, whereas
    Conclusions: Early on-treatment kinetics in resistance-related gene alterations may predict the final mechanism of EGFR-TKI resistance.

    Abstract Diagnostic microbiology: Boosting confidence in COVID-19 detection A design strategy for virus detection tests could lead to improved detection of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Laboratories currently perform SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic assays based on a technique called the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which enables targeted amplification of viral nucleic acids. PCR assays are sensitive but can be plagued by false positives or false negatives. C. Justin Lee of the Institute for Basic Science, Daejon, Republic of Korea, and coworkers have devised a protocol for optimizing assay performance. The success of a PCR assay is determined by the selection of ‘primers’, short DNA strands that determine which genomic sequence gets amplified. The researchers identify a strategy for designing effective primer sets, and selecting reaction conditions that make best use of those primers. Although the focus here is on SARS-CoV-2, this approach should be applicable to other viruses.

    Abstract Abstract In total, 95 prostate cancer (Pca) patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate from 2000 to 2013 were assigned to four groups: Group 1, hormone-naïve and T1a or T1b Pca (n = 17); Group 2, hormone-sensitive and metastatic Pca (n = 33); Group 3, chemo-naïve castration-resistant Pca (CRPC), (n = 18); and Group 4, CRPC with chemotherapy (n = 27). Full-length androgen receptor (ARfl) transcript levels significantly increased from Group 1 through to Group 3 (p = 0.045), but decreased from Group 3 through to Group 4. AR splice variant 7 (ARV7) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) transcript levels significantly increased from Group 1 through to Group 4 (p = 0.002 and 0.049, respectively). Kaplan–Meier curve revealed that the high transcript level of these three receptors resulted in significantly poorer cancer-specific survival (CSS) than that by low transcript level, although Cox regression analysis revealed that the ARV7 level alone was an independent prognostic factor for CSS in CRPC patients (high vs. low: hazard ratio, 1.897; 95% confidence interval, 1.102–3.625; p = 0.042). In conclusion, ARV7 and GR transcript levels significantly increase as Pca progresses to CRPC.
