Zinc fingers and homeoboxes 2 inhibition could suppress the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells by apoptosis pathway.

Objective: The Zinc fingers and homeoboxes (ZHX) protein family has been reported to be involved in tumor development; however, it remains controversial whether these proteins can act as promoters or inhibitors of cancer development. The current study focused on the biological role of ZHX2 in ovarian cancer.

Methods: Tissue microarrays were established using 154 ovarian cancer samples.

Association between gestational visit-to-visit blood pressure variability and adverse neonatal outcomes.

The authors aimed to explore the association between visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (BPV) in pregnant women and adverse neonatal outcomes. The study included 52 891 pregnant women. BPV was calculated as standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) of systolic blood pressure (SBP) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

ZrWO/ZrO Composites with Low/Near-Zero Coefficients of Thermal Expansion Fabricated at Ultralow Temperature: An Integration of Hydrothermal Assembly and a Cold Sintering Process.

ZrWO/ZrO composites with tunable low/near-zero coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) are promising candidates in several fields including aerospace, precision manufacturing and measurement, electronic circuit, etc., for counteracting the thermal expansion effect. However, bottleneck issues (such as the unstable decomposition of ZrWO phase, manufacturing size limitation, etc.

Assessment of the Probability of Post-thrombotic Syndrome in Patients with Lower Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis.

This study was performed to assess the probability of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) after treatment of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LEDVT). Patients with LEDVT undergoing their first treatments in Nanjing First Hospital from January 2013 to December 2014 were enrolled in this study (156 patients were enrolled in the training cohort, and 135 patients were enrolled in the validation cohort). 51 and 45 patients developed PTS in the two cohorts, respectively.
