This study systematically explores the oncogenic role of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC00115 in endometrial cancer (EC) and reveals its unique mechanism in promoting proliferation, invasion, and metastasis via the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. LINC00115 is significantly upregulated in EC tissues and closely associated with advanced TNM staging and lymph node metastasis. Functional assays showed that knockdown of LINC00115 suppressed EC cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, while overexpression enhanced these malignant behaviors.

Setting: Previous studies addressed the association between anti-thyroid antibodies and recurrent miscarriage (RM), however, the role of anti-thyroid antibodies in RM patients is debatable.
Objectives: Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis and the aim of this current study was to assess whether anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) and/or anti-thyroglobulin (anti-TG) antibody positivity was associated with RM.
Design: A meta-analysis was conducted.
Ligustilide (LIG) is the main active ingredient of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels, which could promote focal angiogenesis to exert neuroprotection. However, there was no report that verified the exact effects of LIG on endometrial angiogenesis and the pregnancy outcomes.

Objective: This study aimed to reveal the function and underlying mechanism of hyperoside (Hyp) in RPL associated with antiphospholipid antibodies (aCLs).
Correction for 'Clinical correlation between serum cytokines and the susceptibility to -induced liver injury and an experimental study' by Le Zhang , , 2022, , 825-833, https://doi.org/10.1039/D1FO03489H.
View Article and Find Full Text PDF(PM), a popular functional food, and a herbal and dietary supplement, is widely used as a tonic in China and East Asia. In recent years, it has attracted great concern for its ability to cause idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI). However, identifying individuals susceptible to IDILI remains challenging.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Drug-induced liver injury is a common adverse effect in clinical practice, with severe cases resulting in liver failure and even death. Identification and prediction of individuals susceptible to idiosyncratic DILI continues to remain a challenge.
Methods: In this study, we report that cytokines in human serum can be used to identify and predict individuals susceptible to -induced DILI (PM-DILI) in retrospective and prospective cohort studies.
Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL), an important characterization of antiphospholipid syndrome, shows an intense association with vascular endothelial injury. Hyperoside is a flavonoid extracted from medicinal plants traditionally used in Chinese medicines, displaying anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-oxidative properties in various diseases. Recent studies have shifted the focus on the protective effects of hyperoside on vascular endothelial injury.

Autophagy and inflammatory responses both play an important role in the pathogenesis of RPL and hyperoside has been demonstrated to have multifarious bioactivities including enhancing autophagy and anti-inflammation. This study aims to investigate the effect of hyperoside on anticardiolipin (aCL)-IgG fractions-induced pregnancy loss.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFPolygonum multiflorum (PM) is a well-known Chinese herbal medicine that has been reported to induce inflammation-associated idiosyncratic liver injury. This study aimed to identify the genetic basis of susceptibility to PM-drug-induced liver injury (PM-DILI) and to develop biological markers for predicting the risk of PM-DILI in humans. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) regions of 11 patients with PM-DILI were sequenced, and all human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-type frequencies were compared to the Han-MHC database.

Methods: A total of 120 URSA patients were collected in our hospital from October 2015 to September 2017. They were divided into two groups: control group (n = 60) and observation group (n = 60).

Objective: To explore the protective effect of modified danshou decoction (MDD) on teratogenicity of bisphenol A intoxicated pregnant rats.
Methods: Forty-four successfully mated rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, 10 in the blank group and 10 in the model group, 12 in the MDD group and 12 in the positive control group. Bisphenol A (BPA) at the dose of 600 mg/kg was given to rats by gastrogavage in the latter three groups from the 1st day of mating to the 20th day, while the soybean oil was given to rats by gastrogavage in the blank group.
