Abstract: Common genetic variations in the leptin (LEP), leptin receptor (LEPR), and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) genes have been considered to be implicated in the development of breast cancer. However, the results were inconsistent. In this study, a meta-analysis was performed to assess the associations of five polymorphisms, including LEP G2548A, LEPR Q223R, LEPR Lys109Arg, PON1 L55M, and PON1 Q192R polymorphisms, with breast cancer risk. Published literature from PubMed, ISI Web of Science, Embase databases, CNKI, and Wanfang Data were retrieved. All studies evaluating the association between LEP G2548A, LEPR Q223R, LEPR Lys109Arg, PON1 L55M, or PON1 Q192R polymorphism and breast cancer risk were included. Pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using fixed-or random-effects model. Three studies (2,003 cases and 1,967 controls) for LEP G2548A polymorphism, nine studies (4,627 cases and 5,476 controls) for LEPR Q223R polymorphism, five studies (2,759 cases and 2,573 controls) for LEPR Lys109Arg polymorphism, four studies (1,517 cases and 1,379 controls) for PON1 L55M polymorphism, and five studies (1,575 cases and 2,283 controls) for PON1 Q192R polymorphism were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, the results showed null significant association between LEP G2548A, LEPR Q223R, LEPR Lys109Arg, or PON1 Q192R polymorphism and breast cancer risk; however, PON1 L55M was significantly associated with breast cancer risk overall (MM vs. LL: OR=2.16; 95% CI, 1.76-2.66). For LEPR Q223R polymorphism, further subgroup analysis suggested that the association was only statistically significant in East Asians (OR=0.50; 95% CI, 0.36-0.70) but not in Caucasians (OR=1.06; 95% CI, 0.77-1.45) or Africans (OR=1.30; 95% CI, 0.83-2.03). The present meta-analysis suggested that LEPR Q223R polymorphism might be implicated in the development of breast cancer in East Asians; PON1 L55M might increase breast cancer risk. However, given the limited sample size, the findings warrant further investigation.

Abstract: The medical research is a criteria of a country development and the performance of its health system. This study tried to describe the typology of the Tunisian medical research (themes, journals, types of publication, ..). It was a bibliometric and exhaustive survey of Tunisian manuscripts indexed in Medline from 1965 to 1999. Among the 3673 eligible references to the study, 73% have been produced in clinic sciences. The main subjects were: Cancer, hydratic cyst and tuberculosis represented respectively 3.9%, 2.9% and 1.8% of manuscripts. 91% of articles have been published in French. 65% of articles have been published in national journals. This work showed that the medical scientific production remains globally lower in relation to the national human resources, that its social relevance is insufficient in relation to the load of morbidity and that the radiance of the Tunisian medical research would be limited by the choice of no English-writing journals. Thus, the promotion of the national medical research requires the backing of the teaching of: documentary techniques, English and written communication.

Abstract: This paper reviews the publication (articles, notes, book reviews, etc.) of Turkish social scientists as reported in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) by checking the authors’ affiliation addresses to see if they included the word ‘Turkey’. Altogether, a total of 887 publications were identified between 1985 and 1996. The number of publications in 1996 is 166, which constitutes 0.14% of the total number of publications in the world. Three fourths of the publications were of full-text articles. An overwhelming majority of the contributions (95%) were written in English. Most contributions (93%) came from researchers working at universities. Researchers affiliated with Middle East Technical, Bosporus and Bilkent Universities made more than half (%53) of all social science publications.
