The purpose of this study was to estimate the population attributable risks (PARs) of breast and ovarian cancer occurrence based on the relative risks (RRs) of modifiable reproductive factors and population-specific exposure prevalence. Methods The PAR was calculated by using the 1990 standardized prevalence rates, the 2010 national cancer incidence with a 20 year lag period, the meta-analyzed RRs from studies conducted in the Korean population for breast cancer, and the meta-analyzed RRs from a Korean epithelial ovarian cancer study and a prior meta-analysis, and ovarian cancer cohort results up to 2012. For oral contraceptive and hormone replacement therapy use, we did not consider lag period. Results The summary PARs for modifiable reproductive factors were 16.7 % (95 % CI 15.8–17.6) for breast cancer (2404 cases) and 81.9 % (95 % CI 55.0–100.0) for ovarian cancer (1579 cases). The modifiable reproductive factors included pregnancy/age at first birth (8.0 %), total period of breastfeeding (3.1 %), oral contraceptive use (5.3 %), and hormone replacement therapy use (0.3 %) for breast cancer and included breastfeeding experience (2.9 %), pregnancy (1.2 %), tubal ligation (24.5 %), and oral contraceptive use (53.3 %) for ovarian cancer. Conclusions Despite inherent uncertainties in the risk factors for breast and ovarian cancers, we suggest that appropriate long-term control of modifiable reproductive factors could reduce breast and ovarian cancer incidences and their related burdens by 16.7 % and 81.9 %, respectively

Emulsions of miscible solvents: the origin of anti-solvent crystallization

Emulsions are typically formed in a mixture of immiscible liquids. However, emulsion particles are also found upon mixing miscible liquids. In this paper, we suggest that emulsion particles are formed by ethanol mixed into toluene, as detected via dynamic light-scattering and small-angle X-ray scattering spectroscopy measurements. Furthermore, the addition of ethanol into a homogeneous fullerene solution (C70/toluene) also forms emulsion particles. The emulsion particles could provide a space in which crystallization of C70 occurs via anti-solvent crystallization (ASC). The size change of the emulsion particles through coalescence and shrinkage processes, which depend on the amount of ethanol, explains the change of crystallization environment until a supersaturation state is reached. It is believed to be the previously undiscovered key indicator of the ASC mechanism prior to nucleation.11Nsciescopu
