abstract

epidemiology studies have demonstrated inconsistent associations between type 2 diabetes mellitus and the risk of malignant melanoma. to this end, the aim was to perform a meta-analysis of cohort studies.medline, pubmed, embase and the cochrane library were searched up to february 2014. cohort studies addressing the relative risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus on malignant melanoma were included in this meta-analysis. the newcastle-ottawa scale was applied for quality evaluation. the pooled relative risks with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% cis) were calculated by using random-effects or random-effects model. heterogeneity and publication bias were evaluated by i (2) and funnel plot analysis, respectively. data was analyzed using stata 11.0.a total of 9 independent cohorts from 8 manuscripts were entered this meta-analysis. type 2 diabetes mellitus was slightly associated with an increased risk of malignant melanoma, and the pooled relative risk was 1.15 (95% ci, 1.00-1.32) in diabetes compared with non-diabetes with significant evidence of heterogeneity among these studies (p=0.016, i (2) =57.6%). for the studies adjusted for age, gender and obesity, the relative risks were 1.21 (95% ci, 1.03-1.42), 1.17 (95% ci, 1.01-1.35) and 1.11 (95% ci, 1.00-1.24), respectively. for the population-based studies in which case cohort established, the relative risk was 1.85 (95% ci, 1.31-2.62).type 2 diabetes might be an independent risk factor for malignant melanoma. further studies are needed to specifically test the effect, and fully elucidate the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms.

Association of MiR-146a Expression and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Meta-Analysis

Although deregulation of miR-146a has been reported in type 2 diabetes repeatedly, the direction of deregulation events (up or down) remained to be inconsistent in literatures.  Therefore, in this study, we performed a meta-analysis on the possible association between miR-146a expression levels and type 2 diabetes. A systematic literature searching of PubMed, ISI Web of Science and Google ...
