Endometrium-Free Closure Technique During Cesarean Delivery for Reducing the Risk of Niche Formation and Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorders.

Objective: To examine the prevalence and severity of postcesarean residual niche, evaluated using saline infusion sonohysterography, in an expanded cohort of women with one prior cesarean delivery and to assess the effect of uterine closure technique on the risk of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders.

Methods: This secondary analysis includes 70 patients who underwent saline infusion sonohysterography after one prior cesarean delivery. Patients were grouped according to hysterotomy closure technique: two-layer endometrium-free closure (technique A), and two- or one-layer routine closures (technique B).

Responses of intestinal microbiota to inulin was initial microbiota context dependent and affected by the supplementation dosage.

Intestinal microbiota could respond to dietary fibres that are fermented by the gut microbiota, like prebiotics. Nevertheless, the dynamics of intestinal microbial community longitudinally after prebiotics intake, are still largely unknown. The current study unrevealed the successional process of intestinal microbial community after inulin supplementation, and the effect of supplementation dosage thereof, based on analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences in C57BL/6 mice.

Advancing therapeutic strategies for graft-versus-host disease by targeting gut microbiome dynamics in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: current evidence and future directions.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a highly effective therapy for malignant blood illnesses that pose a high risk, as well as diseases that are at risk due to other variables, such as genetics. However, the prevalence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has impeded its widespread use. Ensuring the stability of microbial varieties and associated metabolites is crucial for supporting metabolic processes, preventing pathogen intrusion, and modulating the immune system.

Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) research: From the ocean to water treatment.

Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP), closely related to the carbon cycle due to their high carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, have become a hot research topic. However, despite the growing interest in this field, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis providing a clear developmental background and quantitative research on the overall trends of TEP studies. To address the gap, this article utilizes VOSviewer and CiteSpace to conduct a bibliometric analysis of TEP research.

[Burial, source characteristics and influencing factors of organic carbon in mangrove sediments at the mouth of the Oujiang River Estuary, China].

Mangrove forests are crucial coastal "blue carbon" ecosystems, known for their significant carbon sequestration capabilities to "carbon neutrality" and mitigating global climate change. We used Pb radioisotope dating to analyze sedimentation rates in the sediments of the Oujiang River Estuary mangrove forest, to calculate organic carbon burial rate, and to assess the characteristics and sources of organic carbon burial. The results showed that the average total organic carbon content in the sediments was 1.
