Abstract Previous studies suggested that miR-146a rs2910164 (C/G) locus was predicted to influence the risk of cancer. However, the relationship of miR-146a rs2910164 locus with colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility was controversial. We recruited 1003 CRC patients and 1303 controls, and performed a case–control study to clarify the correlation of miR-146a rs2910164 locus with CRC risk. Subsequently, a comprehensive meta-analysis was conducted to verify our findings. In the case–control study, we suggested that miR-146a rs2910164 variants did not alter CRC risk (CG vs. CC: adjusted P=0.465; GG vs. CC: adjusted P=0.436, CG/GG vs. CC: adjusted P=0.387 and GG vs. CC/CG: adjusted P=0.589), even in subgroup analysis. Next, we conducted a pooled-analysis to identify the correlation of miR-146a rs2910164 locus with CRC risk. In this pooled-analysis, 7947 CRC cases and 12,168 controls were included. We found that miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphism did not influence the risk of CRC (G vs. C: P=0.537; GG vs. CC: P=0.517, CG/GG vs. CC: P=0.520 and GG vs. CC/CG: P=0.167). Our findings suggest that miR-146a rs2910164 C/G polymorphism is not correlated with the susceptibility of CRC. In the future, more case–control studies are needed to confirm our results.

In contrast to an observational cohort study in which participants are identified, exposures are measured, and then outcomes status is measured after follow-up, a case-control study is an observational study in which researchers sample participants based on their outcome status, often only after all outcomes have already occurred. This chapter echoes the structure of the previous two chapters in the discussion of case-control studies. In this chapter, the author’s focus is on understanding the relationship between cohort studies and case-control studies and on how the interpretation of the odds ratio estimated from the case-control study depends on the relationship of the case-control study to a cohort study.

The effort of leptospirosis prevention in Sleman currently only limited to counseling and treatment of the patient, while the patient search, ways of transmission of leptospirosis from rats to humans, have never implemented in an integrated manner. The study aimed to investigated the relationship between the environmental residential condition with the risk of leptospirosis in Sleman Regency. The research used a survey method  with case control study design. The results showed that environmental factors, which are not proved to have a relationship with the risk of leptospirosis were residential condition ({p=0,108} OR=3,818 {95%CI:0,922–15,811}), the trash bin condition ({p=1,000} OR=1,138 {95%CI:0,420–3,081}) and the sewer condition ({p=0,415} OR=0,551 {95%CI:0,187–1,624}). Environmental factors that associated with the risk of leptospirosis was the presence of rats ({p=0,001} OR=13,594 {95%CI:2,754–67,107}). The effort should be made in order to prevent the increasement of Leptospirosis cases by sanitation improvement and avoiding direct contact with rats as well as it litter. The Government should be pay more attention in the vector control programs, especially in leptospirosis prone areas so the prevention effort to be able run effectively and efficiently.

e16100 Background: Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths, with poor prognosis. Some studies have reported that obesity and overweight are risk factor for the development of CRC. Leptin ( LEP) and its receptor ( LEPR) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) might regulate energy balance and be implicated in the development of CRC. The aim of this case-control study was to assess the association of LEP rs2167270 G > A, rs7799039 A > G, LEPR rs6588147 G > A, rs1137100 G > A and rs1137101 G > A SNPs with susceptibility to CRC in Eastern Chinese Han population. Methods: 1,003 CRC cases and 1,303 matched controls was compared. Five functional SNPs in LEP and LEPR genes were chosen to evaluate the correlation of these chosen SNPs with CRC susceptibility. We used the SNPscan genotyping assay to genotype LEP and LEPR SNPs. Results: A significantly decreased risk of CRC was found to be associated with the LEPR rs6588147 polymorphism (GA vs. GG: crude P= 0.007 and GA/AA vs. GG: crude P= 0.018). With adjustments for risk factors (e.g. age, gender, drinking, BMI and smoking), these associations were not changed. In subgroup analyses, the association of LEP rs2167270 with a decreased risk of CRC was found in the ≥61 years old subgroup. For LEPR rs1137100, the association of this SNP with an increased susceptibility of CRC was found in the BMI < 24 kg/m2 subgroup. In subgroup analyses for LEPR rs6588147, we identified that this locus also decreased the susceptibility of CRC in the male subgroup, < 61 years old subgroup, never smoking subgroup and never drinking subgroup. For LEPR rs1137101, the relationship of this polymorphism with a decreased susceptibility to CRC was found in the never drinking subgroup. Conclusions: The present study highlights that LEPR rs6588147, rs1137101 and LEP rs2167270 may decrease the risk of CRC. However, LEPR rs1137100 is associated with susceptibility to CRC. Further case-control studies with larger sample sizes should be conducted to validate our findings.
