To examine the relationship of gonadal hormone and symptom patterns across the menstrual cycle, women screened for 2-3 cycles completed an intensive study cycle; 26 had a low-severity symptoms (LS), 20, a premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and 26, a premenstrual magnification pattern (PMM). All completed daily symptom diaries and collected late afternoon urine samples which were assayed for pregnanediol and estradiol for that cycle. The PMS and PMM groups had significantly more positive cross-correlations of pregnanediol and symptoms than the LS group. Women in all groups had similar levels of estradiol and pregnanediol. Women with PMS and PMM patterns responded to progesterone differently than women with LS patterns: thus the former groups may not benefit from hormone therapies.

Study to Determine the Prevalence of Menstrual Migraine in Reproductive-Age Women in Saudi Arabia.
Healthcare (Basel)
January 2024
College of Pharmacy, King Khalid University, Abha 61421, Saudi Arabia.
Article Synopsis
- Migraine is common in both genders, but 50-60% of women with migraines experience menstrual headaches, which can range from mild to severe, affecting their daily lives significantly.
- A study in Saudi Arabia found that 18.6% of surveyed women had migraines, with 57.9% of these cases categorized as menstrual migraine (MM), correlating higher BMI with increased MM incidence.
- The findings highlight that menstrual migraines can lead to moderate disability and substantial work absenteeism, emphasizing the need for improved healthcare support for women experiencing these issues.*
The synergistic activation of peroxymonosulfate for the degradation of Acid Scarlet GR by palygorskite/MnO/FeO nanocomposites.
Dalton Trans
January 2023
Fujian Engineering and Research Center of Rural Sewage Treatment and Water Safety, School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Xiamen University of Technology, Xiamen 361024, China.
A heterogeneous Fenton-like system comprising palygorskite/MnO/FeO (PMM) as a superior, low-cost, and eco-friendly ternary catalyst for the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) was investigated with regard to its ability to degrade Acid Scarlet GR in an aqueous solution. Under the optimum catalytic oxidation conditions of 1 g L PMM, 0.7 g L PMS, and an initial pH value of 5, 200 mg L Acid Scarlet GR was completely degraded within 300 min.

Ann Transl Med
March 2022
Department of Preventive Medicine, The School of Public Health, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China.
Background: This study sought to explore the underlying mechanism of long non-coding ribonucleic acid nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 () and PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1)-mediated mitophagy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) induced by cigarette smoke (CS) or fine particular matter (PM).
Methods: In total, 30 male Wistar Rats were divided into the following 3 groups: (I) the COPD group exposed to CS (CSM); (II) the COPD group exposed to PM (PMM); and (III) the control (Ctrl) group. Pulmonary function, the enzyme-linked immunoassay analysis results, the histopathology results, and the ultrastructures of the lung tissues were examined in the 3 groups, and expression levels and the mitophagy-related protein PINK1, Parkin, LC3B, and p62 levels were assessed by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting.
Genetic and metabolic profiling of individuals with Phelan-McDermid syndrome presenting with seizures.
Clin Genet
January 2022
Greenwood Genetic Center, Greenwood, South Carolina, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a rare genetic disorder linked to intellectual disability, autistic traits, speech delays, and seizures, with this study focusing specifically on the prevalence and causes of seizures in affected individuals.
- In a sample of 57 participants, it was found that 46% experienced seizures, with absence and grand-mal seizures being the most common types, and a strong correlation between seizures and specific genetic mutations, particularly in the SHANK3 gene.
- The study identified a unique metabolic profile in those with PMS and seizures, indicating disrupted energy utilization, and highlights the importance of these findings for better understanding and managing seizures in patients with PMS.

Conductive membranes provide a promising method to alleviate membrane fouling, but their cost-effective fabrication, which is urgently needed, is still a challenge. This paper describes the facile fabrication of an ultrafiltration conductive polypyrrole (PPy)-modified membrane (PMM) by in situ chemical polymerization of FeCl and monomer pyrrole vapor on a commercial membrane surface. The resulting membrane had a high electrical conductivity and an outstanding water flux of 2766.
