    *<p>Multivariate logistic regression model. Adjusted for age (10-year age groups), smoking habit status (never vs. ever), oral contraceptive use (never vs. ever), number of childbirths (0, 1, 2, ≥3), physical activity (METS: <170, 170–218, and ≥218), and energy intake from food (kcal/day).</p>2<p>SI: synergic index (OR11-1)/(OR01+OR10-2), in which OR11 is the odds ratio of the joint effect of two risk factors and OR01 and OR10 are odds ratio of each risk factor in the absence of the other.</p>3<p>RLU/PC: relative light.</p

    <p>Fumigant of <i>C</i>. <i>obtusa</i> essential oil caused avoidance behaviors in fruit flies (A-C, <i>D</i>. <i>melanogaster</i>) and house flies (D, <i>M</i>. <i>domestica</i>). Inset graphs show the proportion of flies on each side at 300 minutes after setup. P values from a Chi-squared test are presented for each test.</p

    <p>C57BL/6 mice were injected <i>s</i>.<i>c</i>. with 1 X 10<sup>6</sup> B16 cells. After 15 days, once tumors were well established, mice were treated with GB for 24 hours. (A) Percentage of lineage<sup>-</sup>CD11c<sup>+</sup> DCs in spleen and drLN were analyzed on a flow cytometry (left panels). Absolute cell number of DCs in spleen and drLN were shown (right panel). **<i>p < 0</i>.<i>01</i>. (B) Expression level of CD86, MHC class I and MHC class II in spleen and drLN were measured by flow cytometry. (C) C57BL/6 mice were injected <i>s</i>.<i>c</i>. with 1 X 10<sup>6</sup> B16 cells. Once tumors were well established on day 7, mice were received <i>i</i>.<i>p</i>. with PBS, OVA, GB or the combination of OVA and GB and 5 days later, treated with the same amount of OVA and GB again and tumor growth was measured. All data are representative of or the average of analyses of 6 independent samples (2 mice per experiment, total 3 independent experiments). **<i>p < 0</i>.<i>01</i>.</p
