Effect of focused ultrasound ablation and myomectomy on pelvic adhesions in patients with uterine fibroids.

Objective: To investigate the effects of focused ultrasound ablation (FUSA) versus conventional myomectomy on pelvic adhesions and fertility in the treatment of uterine fibroids.

Methods: The clinical data of 114 patients with uterine fibroids admitted to Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital from February 2020 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, among which 61 cases were treated with FUSA and 53 cases received myomectomy.

Development of a multiplex droplet digital PCR assay for detection of enterovirus, parechovirus, herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 simultaneously for diagnosis of viral CNS infections.

Background: Enterovirus (EV), parechovirus (HPeV), herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV1/2) are common viruses leading to viral central nervous system (CNS) infections which are increasingly predominant but exhibit deficiency in definite pathogen diagnosis with gold-standard quantitative PCR method. Previous studies have shown that droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) has great potential in pathogen detection and quantification, especially in low concentration samples.

Methods: Targeting four common viruses of EV, HPeV, HSV1, and HSV2 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), we developed a multiplex ddPCR assay using probe ratio-based multiplexing strategy, analyzed the performance, and evaluated it in 97 CSF samples collected from patients with suspected viral CNS infections on a two-channel ddPCR detection system.

Endometrial membrane organoids from human embryonic stem cell combined with the 3D Matrigel for endometrium regeneration in asherman syndrome.

Asherman's syndrome (AS), a leading cause of uterine infertility worldwide, is characterized by scarring of the uterine surfaces lacking endometrial epithelial cells, which prevents endometrial regeneration. Current research on cell therapy for AS focuses on mesenchymal and adult stem cells from the endometrium. However, insufficient number, lack of purity, and rapid senescence of endometrial epithelial progenitor cells (EEPCs) during experimental processes restrict their use in cell therapies.

Cadmium sulfide quantum dots/dodecahedral polyoxometalates/oxygen-doped mesoporous graphite carbon nitride with Z-scheme and Type-II as tandem heterojunctions for boosting visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance.

It is known that fabrication of tandem heterojunctions between different types of heterojunctions can promote the charge separation. Herein, novel cadmium sulfide quantum dots (CdS QDs)/dodecahedral phosphotungstic acid potassium KPWO (KPW)/oxygen-doped mesoporous graphite carbon nitride (meso-g-CN) nanosheets tandem heterojunctions are prepared by the hydrothermal method combined with direct template calcination and in-situ chemical sedimentation strategy. The results show that tandem heterojunctions formed by the Z-Scheme heterojunction between CdS QDs and KPW and the type-II heterojunction between CdS QDs and meso-g-CN can extend the optical response into visible light region.

Comparative Genomics Analysis in Grass Species Reveals Two Distinct Evolutionary Strategies Adopted by R Genes.

Resistance genes play an important role in the defense of plants against the invasion of pathogens. In Setaria italica and closely related grass species, R genes have been identified through genetic mapping and genome-wide homologous/domain searching. However, there has been to date no systematic analysis of the evolutionary features of R genes across all sequenced grass genomes.

Reduced expression of follicle stimulating hormone receptor mRNA and protein in pregnancies complicated by pre‑eclampsia.

Expression and function of the follicle‑stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) are traditionally thought to be limited to the ovary in females. However, recent studies have indicated that the FSHR is also expressed in endothelial cells of the placental vasculature, and that the haploinsufficiency of the feto‑placental FSHR impaired the growth of the mouse placenta. The aim of the current study was to investigate the placental expression of FSH and FSHR in pregnancies complicated by pre‑eclampsia.
