Article Synopsis
  • Particulate matter (PM) exposure negatively impacts respiratory and circulatory health, and this study investigates how it affects hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) during the crucial period from preconception to delivery.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 22,570 pregnant women, focusing on those diagnosed with gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, and utilized satellite data to measure PM exposure linked to participants' addresses.
  • Results indicated that exposure to PM significantly increases the risk of HDPs, particularly noting the critical influence from the 5th week before conception to the 6th week of pregnancy, with a lag effect persisting from the week before conception through the 6th week of gestation.

The effects of fine particulate matter (PM) on de novo hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) were inconsistent during the first and second trimesters. This study aimed to assess the trimester-specific effects of PM and PM prior to diagnosis of de novo HDP. The exposure of fine PM was predicted by satellite remote sensing data according to maternal residential addresses.

Effectively identifying high-risk patients with de novo hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) is required to enable timely intervention and to reduce adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Electronic medical record of pregnant women with de novo HDP were extracted from a birth cohort in Beijing, China. The adverse outcomes included maternal and fetal morbidities, mortality, or any other adverse complications.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the association between venous thromboembolism (VTE) and inflammatory markers like systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and prognosis nutritional index (PNI), and to evaluate their efficacy for the diagnosis of VTE in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies.

Patients And Methods: A total of 1326 patients with the initial diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University (AHMU) were enrolled in the training cohort. Univariate and multivariate analysis was used to pinpoint independent predictors of VTE, which were eventually visualized as the nomogram models.

Objective: The aim of this study is to develop multistage prediction models for pre-eclampsia (PE) covering almost the entire pregnancy period based on routine antenatal measurements and to propose a risk screening strategy.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study that included 20582 singleton pregnant women with the last menstruation between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2019. Of the 20582 women, 717 (3.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the link between first-trimester gestational weight gain (GWG) and the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), considering various BMI categories.
  • *The analysis involved 17,901 pregnant women and found that higher early GWG class was significantly associated with increased risk of HDP, with risk ratios ranging from 1.42 to 4.62 across different GWG categories.
  • *Mean arterial pressure (MAP) measured in early pregnancy partially mediated the relationship between GWG and HDP, and the combination of early GWG and MAP improved the predictive capacity for identifying women at risk of HDP.

Compared to other commercial atomic clocks in the time keeping field, the greatest advantage of cesium beam atomic clocks is their superior long-term stability. Compared to magnetic state-selection clocks, optically pumped cesium beam atomic clocks have more interacting atoms, which results in better stability potential. To achieve good long-term stability, we propose methods including stabilization of laser power and reconstruction of circuits.

Thiol-ene click reactions are important for the construction of carbon-sulfur bonds. The use of visible-light photoredox catalysis for the formation of C-S bonds has attracted much attention. In this work, two-dimensional metal-free graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) nanosheets are prepared through a simple thermal polymerization method and used to catalyze the thiol-ene click reaction under visible light-illumination.

This study aimed to discuss association between serum Angiopoietin2 (Ang2) levels, Ang2 gene polymorphisms and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) susceptibility. It was carried out by 235 SLE, 342 other inflammatory autoimmune diseases patients and 380 healthy individuals. Serum Ang2 levels was examinated by ELISA, and Ang2 rs12674822, rs1823375, rs1868554, rs2442598, rs3739390 and rs734701 polymorphisms were genotyped using KASP.

Objectives: Mannose binding lectin (MBL) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms have been associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) risk with inconsistent results. This study aimed to explore whether MBL2 A\B, A\C, A\D, A\O, L\H and Y\X polymorphisms affected SLE susceptibility.

Methods: A meta-analysis was performed on 20 studies, containing allelic contrast, additive, dominant and recessive models.

IL-38 is a newly identified cytokine that belongs to the IL-1 family. In our previous study, we found elevated plasma levels of IL-38 in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the clear relationship of IL-38 expression in plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and clinical and laboratory features needs elucidation.

Background: Hyperuricemia is one of the important risk factors for gout, arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Lactobacillus has attracted much attention due to its role in the regulation of intestinal function and tumor resistance, but its ability to reduce uric acid is unclear. Pickles are a traditional fermented food rich in lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

Interleukin (IL)-36 is a member of the IL-1 superfamily and includes three agonists (IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ) and an antagonist (IL-36Ra). IL-36 agonists bind to heterodimeric receptor complexes. Then, the heterotrimer complexes signal via intracellular functional domains, binding to downstream signaling proteins and inducing inflammatory responses.
