Methods: This study was performed to retrospectively analyze clinical cases of 523 CE patients from January 2018 to June 2020 that were confirmed by hysteroscopy before in vitro fertilization. Based on manifestations of CE under hysteroscopy, the cases were divided into three cohorts, i.e.

Histone deacetylation can lead to transcriptional silencing of many proteins involved in cognition and may also cause learning and memory dysfunction. Histone deacetylase‑2 (HDAC2) has been demonstrated to epigenetically block cognition via a reduction in the histone acetylation level; however, it is unknown whether HDAC2 is involved in the cognitive decline induced by chronic stress.

Objective: To investigate whether sodium valproate (VPA) directly regulates the activity of Ankyrin G(AnkG) promoter in vitro.
Methods: The mouse AnkG promoter sequence was identified by comparing both human and mouse AnkG promoter sequences. The promoter was amplified from C57BL/6 mouse genome DNA and cloned into pGL3 Luciferase reporter vector.
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is currently being discussed as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mounting evidence indicates that increased HDAC6 expression may contribute to AD-associated neurodegeneration, although beneficial effects have also been identified. In the present study, we tested the potential of two selective HDAC6 inhibitors, tubastatin A and ACY-1215, to rescue cognitive deficits in a mouse model of AD.
