Non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is a common and severe manifestation of many genetic disorders. The ultrasound is an ideal method for diagnosing hydrops fetalis during pregnancy. Since most NIHFs do not have an identifiable cause, determining the underlying etiology remains a challenge for prenatal counseling.

Valsartan/amlodipine (I) is a single-pill combination (SPC) of an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) and a calcium channel blocker (CCB) for treating hypertension. A clinical trial was performed to demonstrate that the test and reference valsartan/amlodipine formulations were bioequivalent under fasting and postprandial conditions. Participants were randomly divided into three sequences at a ratio of 1:1:1 for three-cycle, reference formulation replicated, crossover administration.

Current study aims to explore the correlation between the administered dose and efficacy of voriconazole in the treatment of invasive fungal infection (IFI). The correlation between different doses of Voriconazole and plasma concentrations as well as clinical efficacy was counted. Consequently, 40 strains of pathogenic micro-organisms were isoninelated and cultured from etiological samples.

Background: Fetal atrial flutter (AF), accounting for 30% of all fetal tachyarrhythmias, predominantly (over 80%) manifests as a 2:1 atrioventricular conduction. Swift referral and timely intervention become imperative in instances of severe persistent arrhythmia.

Case Presentation: We discuss the case of a 32-year-old multiparous Chinese woman, at 30 weeks of gestation, wherein an ultrasonographic examination revealed persistent fetal AF (atrial rate ranging from 219 to 445 beats/min and ventricular rate from 219 to 228 beats/min, with a 2:1 or 1:1 down transmission) and minor ascites.

Complement component 1 Q subcomponent binding protein (C1QBP) plays a vital role in the progression and metabolism of cancer. Studies have shown that xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH)-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) accelerates tumor growth, and also induces mutations or produces cytotoxic effects concurrently. However, the role of C1QBP in metabolism, oxidative stress, and apoptosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells have not yet been explored.

Among urological tumors, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the third-highest mortality rate tumor, and 20%-30% of RCC patients present with metastases at the time of diagnosis. While the treatment of RCC has been improved over the last few years, its mortality stays high. Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) is a well-known oncoprotein that has tumor-promoting functions.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the world's leading type of cancer in men. GTPase-activating protein SH3 domain-binding protein 1 (G3BP1) is overexpressed in a variety of tumors. However, there are limited studies in PCa concerning G3BP1.

Vaginal reconstruction is the main solution to the problem of sexuality and gender roles for patients with no vagina. A tissue-engineered vagina may be the best choice. However, many defects have been found in neovaginas reconstructed with a graft only.

Acellular matrix materials have been widely used to repair various tissues and organs. According to the plastic principle, when a part of the body is lost, it should be replaced with a similar material. Therefore, the use of a homologous organ-specific acellular vaginal tissue in vagina reconstruction repair surgery may show good results.
