Characteristics in patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion and the impact on immune, coagulation, and inflammatory profiles.

Objective: Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion (RSA) impacts the physical and psychological well-being of women of reproductive age. This study aimed to reveal the potential mechanisms behind unexplained RSA from the perspective of glucose and lipid metabolic profiles before conception and their relationship with immune, coagulation, and inflammatory markers.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 100 patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion at our gynecology department from June 2022 to June 2023.

A TaSnRK1α-TaCAT2 model mediates resistance to Fusarium crown rot by scavenging ROS in common wheat.

Fusarium crown rot (FCR) is a serious underlying disease to threaten wheat yield and quality recently. Here, we identify a catalase antioxidant enzyme (TaCAT2) through genome wide association study (GWAS) and whole-exome sequencing (WES) in two nested bi-parental populations. We verify the function of TaCAT2 regulating wheat FCR resistance by genetic transformation.

Theoretical model and experimental verification of seepage-transition-spontaneous imbibition in water migration of water-injected coal.

Coal seam water injection is widely applied to prevent mine disasters. In the traditional water migration model of water-injected coal, from ignoring capillary force in the seepage stage to generating the capillary dynamic during the spontaneous imbibition state, no transition state exists from 0 to generating capillary force. In this paper, on the basis of theoretical analysis, an equivalent capillary term is introduced to modify the Forchheimer model, and then a seepage-transition-spontaneous imbibition model that is suitable for water migration of water-injected coal is proposed.

Enhancing physical properties of konjac glucomannan/ethyl cellulose/zein blend films by optimizing molecular assembly with varying drying temperatures.

Appropriate selection of the drying temperature is of great importance to achieve desirable film preparation. The present study investigated the impact of drying temperature (40-80 °C) on the physical properties and molecular assembly process of konjac glucomannan/ethyl cellulose/zein blend films through the casting method. Microstructural observations indicated that the drying temperature impacted the particle aggregation in the films, and at the drying temperature of 60 °C, a most even component distribution was suggested with the strongest hydrogen bond interaction according to the FTIR and micro-FTIR analysis.

Comparative effectiveness of exercise interventions on arterial stiffness in individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Previous studies have shown that exercise can improve arterial stiffness (AS). However, it remains unclear which type of exercise is most effective for managing AS, particularly in individuals at high risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This review aims to evaluate the effects of various exercises on AS and related variables in individuals at high risk for CVD.
