Introduction: Intramural ectopic pregnancy (IMP) refers to the implantation and implantation of a gestational sac in the uterine muscle layer, which is a rare and potentially life-threatening disease. Early detection and diagnosis are significant, and treatment methods are often challenging.
Presentation Of Case: We report a case of IMP after embryo transfer in a 38-year-old woman.
In a ship rocking environment, muscle activity in different sitting postures may impact passenger balance and stability, thereby aggravating or alleviating symptoms of motion sickness. This study aims to explore the relationship between motion sickness induced by ship rolling and muscle activity in various sitting postures, with the goal of informing the optimization of ship seat designs to enhance passenger comfort. The research focuses on the angle of backrest inclination and head-neck position as key variables.

Methods: A total of 50 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into sham ope-ration, AMI model, and EA pretreatment groups (0.5 mA, 1 mA, 3 mA subgroups), with 10 mice in each group/subgroup.
Dual-hereditary jaundice (Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS) and Gilbert's syndrome (GS)) is a rare clinical entity resulting from defects of the ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 2 (ABCC2) and UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1 (UGT1A1) genes with autosomal recessive inheritance. In this study, we aimed to investigate the mutation profiles and characterize the phenotypes in a Han Chinese family with DJS and GS. Genetic screening for variants in the ABCC2 and UGT1A1, immunohistochemistry for expression of ABCC2, and histopathological examination were carried out.

Increasing evidence indicates that electroacupuncture (EA) can regulate cardiac function by modulating the autonomic nervous system (ANS), but little is known about its effectiveness on neural remodeling post-MI.
Objectives: To investigate the role of EA in ANS remodeling post-MI.
Aims: Electro-acupuncture pretreatment (EAP) plays a protective role in myocardial ischemia (MI) injury. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. A growing body of evidence suggests postinfarction inflammatory response directly affects the remodeling of ventricular function.

Oxidative-nitrosative stress (ONS) is an independent etiologic factor throughout tumorigenesis. Emerging evidences indicated that the interaction of ONS with CSCs contributes to tumor progression and resistance to chemoradiotherapy.

The results showed that, 1000 mg·L E.

The diagnosis of LC is a challenge because the imaging findings are atypical for lymphoma. The purpose of present study is to investigate MRI characteristics and clinical features of LC and potentially facilitate an early and accurate diagnosis of this often-missed disease.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFCharacteristic aroma volatile compounds from different parts of cayenne pineapple were analyzed by headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The main volatile compounds were esters, terpenes, ketones and aldehydes. The number and content of aroma compounds detected in pulp were higher than those found in core.

Objective: To determine the correlation between the expression of CARMA1 mRNA and MUM1 protein, as well as its effects on clinicopathological features and prognosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Methods: The immunophenotype (CD20, CD79a, CD10, MUM1, Bcl6) and proliferation index of DLBCL cells were examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). CARMA1 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.
Synoviocyte hyperplasia is critical for rheumatoid arthritis, therefore, potentially an important target for therapeutics. It was found in this work that a TRPV1 agonist capsaicin, and acidic solution (pH 5.5) induced increases in cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in synoviocytes isolated from a rat model of collagen-induced arthritis.

Objective: To study the expression of API2-MALT1 mRNA in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, to investigate the expression pattern of API2-MALT1 variants, and to correlate the findings with the clinicopathologic features and prognosis.
Methods: Sixty-two cases of MALT lymphoma (10 from lung, 31 from stomach, 9 from intestine and 12 from thyroid), 32 cases of extranodal DLBCL (16 from stomach, 13 from intestine and 3 from thyroid), 8 cases of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and 5 cases of reactive lymph nodes hyperplasia as negative controls were collected. The expression of API2-MALT1 mRNA was studied in all cases by reverse transcriptase (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and nested PCR.
