Background: Postmenopausal women (PMW) who complete menopause at a late age (55+ years) have lower cardiovascular disease risk than PMW who complete menopause at a normal age (45-54 years). However, the influence of late-onset menopause on vascular endothelial dysfunction is unknown. Moreover, the mechanisms by which a later age at menopause may modulate endothelial function remain to be determined.

Gender disparities in clinical outcomes of urothelial carcinoma linked to X chromosome gene mutation.

BMJ Oncol

December 2023

NHC Key Laboratory of Glycoconjugate Research, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Objective: , a representative tumour suppressor gene with sex bias, is frequently altered in urothelial carcinoma (UC). The specific impacts of mutations on gender-based clinical outcomes in UC remain poorly understood.

Methods And Analysis: We enrolled 2438 patients with UC from seven independent real-world cohorts possessing comprehensive clinical and genomic data.

Biological sex is closely associated with the properties and extent of the immune response, with males and females showing different susceptibilities to diseases and variations in immunity. Androgens, predominantly in males, generally suppress immune responses, while estrogens, more abundant in females, tend to enhance immunity. It is also established that sex hormones at least partially explain sex biases in different diseases, particularly autoimmune diseases in females.

Novel predictive biomarkers for atonic postpartum hemorrhage as explored by proteomics and metabolomics.

BMC Pregnancy Childbirth

January 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, National Clinical Research Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University Third Hospital, Peking University Third Hospital), National Center for Healthcare Quality Management in Obstetrics, Beijing, 100191, China.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, with uterine atony accounting for approximately 70% of PPH cases. However, there is currently no effective prediction method to promote early management of PPH. In this study, we aimed to screen for potential predictive biomarkers for atonic PPH using combined omics approaches.

Sex differences in immune system aging significantly impact disease susceptibility and vaccine responses among older adults, but with notable disparities between men and women. This area has gained importance because vaccines can exhibit differential efficacy by sex in aging populations, underscoring the need for sex-specific strategies. As the global population ages, understanding these sex-based immune differences is crucial for developing targeted interventions for age-related diseases.
