Recurrent implantation failure (RIF), a major issue in assisted reproductive technology (ART), may be influenced by necroptosis, a form of cell death linked to several diseases. This study was aimed at investigating the involvement of necroptosis in RIF. Using RNA-sequencing data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, we identified differentially expressed necroptosis-related genes (DENRGs) in RIF patients compared with those in controls.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAnaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements have been reported in 3-7% of non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC). ALK has been reported to be fused with a variety of genes in NSCLC. Significant clinical activity was achieved by ALK inhibitors in patients with NSCLC harbouring ALK translocations.

However, the impacts of long-term fertilization on soil microbial community remain ambiguous due to inconsistent results from different studies. The objective of this study was to characterize changes in bacterial and fungal diversity and community structures after 12 years of different fertilization in aeolian sandy soil by analyzing 16S rRNA and ITS rRNA gene sequences and the soil properties to discover the driving factors.

- Preterm birth poses a significant global public health issue, and this study focuses on creating a prediction model to help identify at-risk pregnant women for timely interventions.* -
- Analyzed data from over 3 million pregnant women utilized logistic regression to determine risk factors for preterm birth, revealing that education, weight, and prenatal care reduce risk, while older age, race, certain health conditions, and lifestyle choices increase it.* -
- The developed prediction model showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.688, indicating moderate performance in predicting the likelihood of preterm births among the tested population.*
Calcium (Ca) is an essential plant nutrient, and Ca/H exchangers (CAXs) regulate Ca partitioning between subcellular compartments. AtCAX1 activity is inhibited by its N-terminal regulatory region (NRR), which was initially defined as the sequence between the first two methionines. However, the accuracy of this NRR definition and the NRR regulatory mechanism remain unclear.

Methods: 120 advanced lung cancer patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected as the research object and divided into group A (PSQI scores ≥ 10 points, = 60) and group B (PSQI < 10 points, = 60). Routine nursing was performed to both groups, and patients in group A received the eye movement training additionally, so as to compare their PSQI scores, negative emotion scores, adverse reaction rate (ARR), Cancer Coping Modes Questionnaire (CCMQ) scores, and pain scores.
Article Synopsis
- - Spermidine (Spd) enhances seed germination under salt-alkali stress by protecting important macromolecules and regulating osmotic balance.
- - Soaking seeds in Spd solution increased soluble sugars and proline content significantly, improved enzyme activities (catalase and peroxidase), and reduced oxidative damage.
- - The study highlights that Spd priming boosts hydrogen peroxide and calcium levels, supporting hormonal balance and breaking seed dormancy, thereby promoting germination resilience against stress.
Objective: To explore the restrictive use of episiotomy for low forceps delivery.
Methods: A total of 311 low forceps delivery women at ≥37 weeks of gestation with live singleton cephalic pregnancies were recruited from June 2013 to December 2013 at our hospital. Among whom, 117 women underwent no episiotomy another 194 had mediolateral episiotomy.
Objective: The aim of this study was to analysis the clinical edema forms and explore the heterogeneity of edema in severe preeclampsia (PE) .
Method: From February 2002 to February 2009, Peking University Third Hospital admitted with severe preeclampsia 228 cases who were enrolled in this study. The form is divided into no edema (A-type), pure interstitial edema (B-type), a simple cavity gap edema (C-type) and mixed interstitial edema that coexist with lacunar edema (D-type).
Objective: To identify the early warning signs of severe preeclampsia (SPE).
Methods: A case-control (1:2) observational study was conducted. Forty-seven pregnant women with SPE, who attended the prenatal clinics of Peking University Third Hospital regularly from Jan.
