Preeclampsia is the main cause of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity during pregnancy. Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL4 (KIR2DL4) and human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) play crucial roles in immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface. In this case‒control study, 154 maternal-fetal pairs were recruited, including 74 pairs with preeclampsia (56 of 74 pairs from family triads) and 80 pairs with a normal pregnancy (78 of 80 pairs from family triads).

- Mothers are the main source of bacteria for their newborns, but it's unclear when this transmission happens—before, during, or after birth—and the impact of delivery method (vaginal vs. caesarean) on newborn bacteria is still debated.* -
- The study collected and analyzed samples from mothers and newborns to explore microbial diversity, involving a total of 550 samples from both delivery methods, ensuring rigorous control measures for contamination.* -
- Results showed that bacterial communities in meconium, placenta, and fetal membranes were similar regardless of delivery method, with about half of placental bacteria matching those found in the mother's vaginal, rectal, and oral samples.*
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intracoronary administration of prourokinase via balloon catheter during primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: Acute STEMI patients underwent primary PCI were randomly divided into two groups: intracoronary prourokinase (IP) group (n = 118) and control group (n = 112). During primary PCI, prourokinase or saline were injected to the distal end of the culprit lesion via balloon catheter after balloon catheter dilatation.
