Article Synopsis
- Dechloranes are toxic chlorine flame retardants used in industrial products, which can accumulate in human bodies and pose significant health risks, leading to their classification as harmful substances by global authorities in 2023.
- The development of an effective detection method for dechloranes is critical due to their environmental persistence and harmful effects on health, prompting the use of magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) techniques.
- The study created a new adsorbent, FeO@TpBD, using magnetic nanoparticles and covalent organic frameworks to efficiently analyze dechloranes in environmental water, combining MSPE with gas chromatography for better detection.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how endometrial volume and flow parameters, along with serum CA125 levels, can help differentiate between benign and malignant endometrial lesions.
- It analyzed data from 250 patients, revealing that endometrial cancer (EC) patients had significantly thicker and larger endometrial volumes, as well as higher vascular flow parameters compared to those with benign lesions.
- The findings suggest that the vascular index (VI) is a more reliable indicator than endometrial thickness for distinguishing between benign and malignant cases, with elevated CA125 levels also correlating with cancer severity.
Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a commonly diagnosed gynecologic cancer. Knowing the incidence and mortality rates of OC is critical to understanding the disease burden and updating prevention strategies.
Methods: We retrieved the age-standardized incidence and mortality rates (ASIR and ASMR, respectively) of OC from the Global Burden of Disease study online database.
The present study discusses the expression and effect of the SOX17 gene in endometrioid adenocarcinoma. MTT assay is performed to determine the growth inhibition ratio of the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-AZA for endometrial carcinoma cells, and the real-time fluorescence quantification PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression of SOX17, β-catenin, and CyclinD1 in endometrial carcinoma tissues before and after using 5-AZA to treat the endometrial carcinoma cell line. There were 30 cases on endometrioid adenocarcinoma tissues and 10 cases on normal endometrial tissues.
