Article Synopsis
- A new method for detecting 15 carbonyl compounds in soil was developed using solid phase extraction (SPE) combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
- The process involves extracting samples with acetonitrile, derivatizing them to create stable compounds, and using a specialized SPE cartridge for purification before separation and detection using specific column and wavelength settings.
- The optimized method exhibited high recovery rates, excellent linearity, and better purification efficiency compared to traditional methods, making it effective and reliable for environmental analysis of carbonyl compounds in soil.
Article Synopsis
- - Infertility affects many globally, with in vitro fertilization (IVF) being the leading treatment method, although frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) shows lower success rates compared to fresh transfers.
- - The study aims to evaluate the Gushen'antai pill (GSATP), a traditional Chinese medicine, in improving pregnancy rates during hormone therapy FET cycles, despite a lack of prior randomized controlled trials on its efficacy.
- - A total of 300 participants, aged 18 to 40 from five hospitals, will be randomly assigned to evaluate the effects of GSATP on pregnancy outcomes, with assessments taking place throughout the gestational period.
Association of TNF-α gene T-1031C polymorphism with endometriosis: A meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The T-1031C single nucleotide polymorphism in the TNF-α gene may affect its regulation and could be linked to the development of endometriosis, although the relationship remains unclear.
- A meta-analysis of seven case-control studies evaluated the association between this gene polymorphism and endometriosis, using various statistical models to estimate the strength of these associations.
- The analysis found significant associations in certain populations, indicating that TNF-α T-1031C polymorphism may be associated with endometriosis susceptibility and has a protective effect, particularly in European and Asian groups.
Background: Clonidine is a common adjunct to local anesthetics for pediatric neuraxial block; however, the pros and cons between clonidine and other adjuncts remain unclear. Thus, we performed this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to assess the efficacy and adverse effects between clonidine and other adjuncts added to local anesthetics.
Materials And Methods: The systematic search, data extraction, critical appraisal, and pooled analysis were performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement.
