Purpose: To study the prediction of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in high-risk pregnant women by testing fasting blood glucose, 1-h(1hPG) and 2-h plasma glucose (2hPG) after an oral glucose tolerance test, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in early pregnancy (6-14 weeks).

Methods: We recruited 1311 pregnant women at high risk for diabetes from the Obstetrics Clinic of Daxing District People's Hospital between June 2017 and December 2019. The tests performed during the first trimester included fasting blood glucose (FPG), HbA1c, and 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with 1hPG and 2hPG.

The contradiction between industrial development and ecological environment pressure has been becoming progressively severe. Under this circumstance, more attention has been paid to the balance between industrial economic development and environmental deterioration and resource consumption. Thus, this study takes the development of industry and ecological environment change as an interactive system consideration, and comprehensively evaluates the changes of the industrial-environment system on resilience perspective with innovation.

Veratric acid, a simple benzoic acid derived from plants and fruits, has been reported to exhibit antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and other important therapeutic activities. The aim of this study was to detect the effects of veratric acid on LPS-induced acute lung injury and to investigate the effects of veratric acid on NF-κB signaling pathway. Male BALB/c mice were pretreated with dexamethasone or veratric acid 1h before intranasal instillation of LPS.

In this study, a putative esterase, designated EstMY, was isolated from an activated sludge metagenomic library. The lipolytic gene was subcloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 using the pET expression system. The gene estMY contained a 1,083 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a polypeptide of 360 amino acids with a molecular mass of 38 kDa.

Article Synopsis
  • The study used transmission electron microscopy to examine the cellular structure of Urostyla grandis, focusing on how its organelles change under different conditions.
  • In resting cells, key structures like cilia and the endoplasmic reticulum disappear, and the nuclear matrix is extruded, while during excystment, new membranous structures form and autophagic vacuoles containing various organelles appear.
  • The findings suggest that the processes of organelle de-differentiation in resting cells and differentiation during excystment in Urostyla grandis are distinct from those in non-kinetosome-resorbing cysts.
