Division of Dental Public Health and Oral Health Services Research, Guy's, King's and St Thomas' School of Dentistry, King's College London.

Published: December 2001

The previous paper explored the meaning of ethics, especially its relationship to dentistry. Here, we examine a practical application for solving ethical problems. Together, the two articles should provide dentists with a core of relevant knowledge about ethics and a ready guide to the daily relevance of ethics.

The rising incidence of pancreatic diseases, including acute and chronic pancreatitis and various pancreatic neoplasms, poses a significant global health challenge. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) for example, has a high mortality rate due to late-stage diagnosis and its inaccessible location. Advances in imaging technologies, though improving diagnostic capabilities, still necessitate biopsy confirmation.

Macrophages are pivotal in the body's defense and response to inflammation. They are present in significant numbers and are widely implicated in various diseases, including cancer. While molecular and histological techniques have advanced our understanding of macrophage biology, their precise function within the cancerous microenvironments remains underexplored.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM), a significant chronic complication of diabetes, manifests as myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and other pathological alterations that substantially impact cardiac function and elevate the risk of cardiovascular diseases and patient mortality. Myocardial energy metabolism disturbances in DbCM, encompassing glucose, fatty acid, ketone body and lactate metabolism, are crucial factors that contribute to the progression of DbCM. In recent years, novel protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) such as lactylation, β-hydroxybutyrylation, and succinylation have been demonstrated to be intimately associated with the myocardial energy metabolism process, and in conjunction with acetylation, they participate in the regulation of protein activity and gene expression activity in cardiomyocytes.

Advances in Prenatal Cell-Free DNA Screening for Dominant Monogenic Conditions: A Review of Current Progress and Future Directions in Clinical Implementation.

Prenat Diagn

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Reproductive Genetics (Ministry of Education) and Department of Reproductive Endocrinology, Women's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.

Prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening has advanced significantly, extending beyond detecting aneuploidies to sub-chromosomal copy number variations. However, its application for screening dominant single-gene conditions, often caused by de novo variants, remains underutilized in the general obstetric population. This study reviews recent data and experience on prenatal cfDNA screening for dominant monogenic conditions using multiple-gene panels, highlighting its potential to enhance early detection and management of genetic disorders.
