Adherence to the vegetable-fruit-soy diet pattern, which is a reference from the Mediterranean diet, protects Chinese women from postmenopausal breast cancer

The diet center hypothesis has gained much support from the apparent protective effect of the Mediterranean diet against breast cancer. However, evidence linking adherence to the Mediterranean diet to molecular subtypes of breast cancer remains inadequate, especially among non-Mediterranean populations. Method: The subject of the Wuxi exposure and breast cancer study in China is a population-based case-control study that includes 818 patients and 935 healthy controls. A modified version of the Validated Dietary Rating FFQ and Alternative Mediterranean Diet Score (aMED), the Alternative China Diet Score (aCHD) is to assess compliance with the migrated Chinese version of the Mediterranean diet called Vegetables-Fruits-Soybeans. A diet pattern developed in. Reflecting the region's cuisine, soy products, canola oil and coarse grains have replaced legumes, olive oil and whole grains. Vegetable-fruit-soybean stratified by menopausal state (pre-menopausal or post-menopausal) and receptor state (estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) state, and human epithelial growth factor tumor gene) We investigated the association between dietary adherence and breast cancer risk Formula 2 (HER2) followed by five specific combinations (ER +, ER-, ER + / PR +, ER- / PR- and ER- / PR- / HER2-). The results show that the vegetable-fruit-soy diet pattern is inversely correlated with postmenopausal breast cancer risk (4th vs. 1st quartile, or 0.57, 95% CI = 0.41, 0.80; Ptrend <0.001). Correlation is slightly stronger in the ER subtype (OR = 0.63; 95% CI = 0.37, 0.94; P trend
= 0.003) and the ER / PR subtype (OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.41, 0.93, Ptrend = 0.012). No significant association was observed between the characteristics of the vegetable-fruit-soy diet and the ER + subtype, and between the PR + and ER + / PR + subtypes.  Conclusion: The beneficial effects of a Mediterranean diet also apply to Chinese women. The vegetable-fruit-soy diet pattern can reduce the risk of postmenopausal breast cancer, especially in the ER and ER / PR subtypes.

Anti-spikes receptor binding domain (RBD) levels and short-term adverse event dynamics after heterologous booster administration of BNT162b2 after two doses of CoronaVac

Image
CoronaVac was administered in early 2021 as the primary COVID19 vaccine for Thai healthcare professionals (HCWs) in response to a new variant epidemic. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dynamics of the humoral immune response and the short-term side effects resulting from the additional administration of BNT162b2 after the completion of two doses of CoronaVac in Thai healthcare professionals. This study was conducted in August and September 2021 at a teaching hospital in northern Thailand. Participants were 50 healthcare workers vaccinated with two doses of CoronaVac and were expected to receive an additional dose of BNT162b2. We evaluated AntiSARSCoV2 IgG antibody levels and short-term side effects. Anti-RBD levels were determined using Architect SARSCoV2 IgG II Quant (Abbott). Of the 50 participants, 37 were women. The average age was 33.0 years. The average time between the second CoronaVac vaccination and the BNT162b2 booster was 81.7 days (SD = 25.0). Median anti-SARSCo...

Childhood immunization during the COVID-19 pandemic in Texas

Image
  In 2020, the state of Texas implemented  coronavirus disease 2019  (COVID-19) social distancing guidelines in order to prevent surges at Texas hospital emergency rooms and in intensive care units. As noted in other states, an unintended consequence of these activities was significant declines in childhood immunizations. After analyzing state-wide immunization register data for Texas, we observed a 47% relative decline in immunization rates between 2019 and 2020 among 5-month-olds and a 58% decline among 16-month-olds. We observed a small decline (5%) among 24-month-olds, and no decline in vaccines received at birth (Hepatitis B). Declines were larger in rural counties compared to urban. These declines are superimposed on increases in state vaccine exemptions over the last five years due to an aggressive anti-vaccine movement in Texas. There are concerns that continued declines in childhood  immunization coverage  due to COVID-19 could lead to co-endemics of...

Vaccines and immunization: Vaccine safety

Image
Vaccination is one of the best ways to prevent illness. Overall, the vaccine is estimated to save 2 to 3 million lives each year. Together with the government, vaccine manufacturers, scientists, and medical professionals, the WHO Vaccine Safety Program continues to support vaccine safety monitoring. This helps ensure that the vaccine is safe for you and your family. The most commonly used vaccines today have been in use for decades, with millions of people safely receiving the vaccine each year. Several new vaccines are also under development. Once approved, they should help prevent other life-threatening illnesses such as Zika virus and Nipah virus, and improve the effectiveness of existing vaccines. Like all medicines, all vaccines must undergo extensive and rigorous testing before being introduced into the country. After use, it should be continuously monitored to ensure it is safe for the people who receive it. Vaccines are very safe. As with all medicines, side effects can occur ...
