Exploring the role of macrophages in the progression from atypical hyperplasia to endometrial carcinoma through single-cell transcriptomics and bulk transcriptomics analysis.

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to identify key genes in endometrial cancer by conducting single-cell analysis of macrophages.

Methods: We sourced clinical data from the TCGA database as well as supplementary datasets GSE201926 and GSE173682. Using bulk-seq data of atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer, we pinpointed key differentially expressed genes.

Case report: The intrauterine suture surgery-an original method in the treatment of old uterine false passage.

Objective: To introduce an effective approach using the hysteroscopy system for patients with old uterine false passage after a failed conservative treatment.

Materials And Methods: This study presents the case of a 34-year-old woman who was treated in the Department of Gynecology of Shenzhen Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital in 2018 with the complaint of "menstrual volumereduction for 2 years after abortion." A hysteroscopy was performed to make a clear diagnosis: (1) uterine cavity adhesion and (2) old uterine false passage.

Standardized protocols for differentiation of THP-1 cells to macrophages with distinct M(IFNγ+LPS), M(IL-4) and M(IL-10) phenotypes.

In vitro models of differing macrophage functions are useful since human monocyte-derived macrophages are short-lived, finite and vary from donor to donor. Published protocols using the promonocytic cell line THP-1 have tended to result in cells that closely resemble classically-activated macrophages, differentiated in IFNγ and LPS. However, no protocol, to date, has fully recapitulated polarization of THP-1 to the M(IL-4) or M(IL-10) macrophage phenotypes seen when human monocyte-derived macrophages are exposed to each cytokine.

[Study on the spatial and temporal distribution of animal plague in Junggar Basin plague focus].

Objective: To explore the spatial and temporal distributions of animal plague in Junggar Basin natural plague focus.

Methods: Data regarding plague antibody (F1) in serum of Great Gerbil (Rhombomys opimus, R. opimus) which were collected from 2005 to 2012 in Junggar Basin and analyzed.
