The Correlation between Depression during Pregnancy and Metabolic Syndrome.

Background: In recent years, the incidence of depression during pregnancy has gradually increased, and the disorder of lipid metabolism in patients with depression is an important research direction. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the correlation between depression during pregnancy and metabolic syndrome (MS).

Methods: A total of 113 pregnant women diagnosed as depression during pregnancy from November 2019 to January 2022 were selected as the observation group.

A novel and rare diverticulum-like adenomyosis: A case report.

Introduction: Cystic adenomyosis is a rare variant of adenomyosis, with only 90 reported cases found in the literature so far. Diverticulum-like adenomyosis is even more uncommon, with only one documented case to date.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 42-year-old asymptomatic woman who had an incidental finding of a parauterine cyst on an abdominal computed tomography scan.

Long non-coding RNA PRNCR1 promotes ovarian cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion by targeting the miR-653-5p/ELF2 axis.

Recent studies have shown that prostate cancer-associated long non-coding RNA, PRNCR1, plays crucial roles in the development of multiple human cancers. However, its role in ovarian cancer is barely known. This study was carried out to investigate the role of PRNCR1 and the underlying mechanisms in OC.

Molecular epidemiologic study of citrin deficiency by screening for four reported pathogenic SLC25A13 variants in the Shaanxi and Guangdong provinces, China.

Background: Citrin deficiency (CD) is an autosomal recessive disease resulting from biallelic mutations of the gene. This study aimed to investigate the molecular epidemiological features of CD in the Guangdong and Shaanxi provinces of China.

Methods: A total of 3,409 peripheral blood samples from Guangdong and 2,746 such samples from Shaanxi province were collected.

Evaluation of diagnosis and prognosis with anti-mullerian hormone level in early missed abortion.

Objective: This research was designed to probe into the clinical significance of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels in early missed abortion.

Methods: Forty-six women with early missed abortions treated in our hospital from October 2018 to June 2019 were collected as the research subjects and included in the observation group (OG), while 51 normal pregnant women were included in the control group (CG) during the same period. The levels of AMH, human follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and human luteinizing hormone (LH) in the serum of women of both groups were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Perinatal depressive and anxiety symptoms of pregnant women during the coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak in China.

Background: On January 20, 2020, a new coronavirus epidemic with human-to-human transmission was officially declared by the Chinese government, which caused significant public panic in China. In light of the coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak, pregnant women may be particularly vulnerable and in special need for preventive mental health strategies. Thus far, no reports exist to investigate the mental health response of pregnant women to the coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak.

Blockchain-Based Data Preservation System for Medical Data.

Medical care has become an indispensable part of people's lives, with a dramatic increase in the volume of medical data (e.g., diagnosis certificates and medical records).

Paired observation on light-cured composite resin and nano-composite resin in dental caries repair.

To compare the value of light-cured composite resin with that of nano-composite resin in dental caries repair. 88 patients taking dental caries repair in our hospital from May 2014 to April 2015 were selected, and divided into observation group and control group by coin method with 44 patients in each group. Nano-composite resin was used in observation group, while light-cured composite resin in control group.

Angiotensin-(1-7) attenuates angiotensin II-induced signalling associated with activation of a tyrosine phosphatase in Sprague-Dawley rats cardiac fibroblasts.

Background Information: Angiotensin-(1-7) [ANG-(1-7)] mediates vasodilation, antiproliferation, anti-apoptosis and antifibrosis, therefore, it opposes the effects of angiotensin II (ANG II). However, the detailed signal transduction mechanism following the Mas receptor activated by ANG-(1-7) is still poorly understood. Src homology2-containing inositol phosphatase 1 (SHP-1), a redoxsensitive protein tyrosine phosphatase, negatively influences downstream signalling molecules, such as mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), through dephosphorylation, thereby inhibiting proliferative and profibrotic signalling induced by ANG II.

[Survey of root canal curvature in maxillary anterior teeth].

Objective: To investigate root canal curvature in maxillary anterior teeth.

Methods: About 400 human maxillary anterior teeth were examined by indirect digital radiography both from labiolingual and mesiodistal directions. The root canal curvature was analyzed.
