Ageing of the endometrium is a critical factor that affects reproductive health, yet its intricate mechanisms remain poorly explored. In this study, we performed transcriptome profiling and experimental verification of endometrium and endometrial organoids from young and advanced age females, to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and to explore novel treatment strategies for endometrial ageing. First, we found that age-associated decline in endometrial functions including fibrosis and diminished receptivity, already exists in reproductive age.

The T3SS chaperone CesT is recently shown to interact with the post-transcriptional regulator CsrA to modulate post-attachment signaling in enteropathogenic and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. The molecular basis of the CesT/CsrA binding, however, remains elusive. Here, we show that CesT and CsrA both created two ligand binding sites in their homodimers, forming irregular multimeric complexes in solution.

Aims: To investigate serum beta2-glycoprotein I-low-density lipoprotein (β2-GPI-LDL) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, and to further evaluate the associations of β2-GPI-LDL with ox-LDL in vivo and with the presence of diabetic microvascular complications.

Methods: We determined β2-GPI-LDL, ox-LDL and small dense low density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) levels in 236 T2DM patients with or without microvascular complications and 75 controls. The correlation analyses, multiple linear regression analyses and logistic regression analyses were performed, respectively.

Background: Oxidized lipoprotein(a) [ox-Lp(a)] and oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) levels have been reported to be useful predictors of cardiovascular events. The study developed a chemiluminescence (CL) imaging immunoassay method for simultaneously detecting serum concentrations of ox-Lp(a) and ox-LDL.

Methods: Ox-Lp(a) and ox-LDL levels were measured by CL imaging immunoassay using a disposable immunosensor array as the carrier and a charge-coupled device as the detector, and were studied in 46 acute coronary syndromes (ACS) patients, 58 stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and 61 control subjects.

Background: We investigated serum lipoprotein(a) complexes with beta2-glycoprotein I [β2-GPI-Lp(a)] levels in ischemic stroke patients.

Methods: Serum β2-GPI-Lp(a), oxidized Lp(a) [ox-Lp(a)] and Lp(a) levels were determined in 124 ischemic stroke patients and 64 normal controls. The severity and clinical outcome of ischemic stroke patients were evaluated by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Barthel Index (BI), respectively.

This study was aimed to reveal how the swelling properties and release behavior of a model drug from pectin gel beads were influenced by its crosslinking with different metal ions. Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 was chosen as the model drug. Pectinate beads were prepared by the dropping method and crosslinked with Ca2+, Fe3+, Zn2+, Ba2+, respectively.
