Sexual dimorphism in lung transcriptomic adaptations in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
Respir Res
January 2025

Current fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) studies primarily focus on alcohol's actions on the fetal brain although respiratory infections are a leading cause of morbidity/mortality in newborns. The limited studies examining the pulmonary adaptations in FASD demonstrate decreased surfactant protein A and alveolar macrophage phagocytosis, impaired differentiation, and increased risk of Group B streptococcal pneumonia with no study examining sexual dimorphism in adaptations. We hypothesized that developmental alcohol exposure in pregnancy will lead to sexually dimorphic fetal lung morphological and immune adaptations.

We studied the expression levels of microRNAs (miR-21, miR-27a, miR-221, and miR-429) in the thymus of female Wistar rats after surgical treatment of breast cancer (BC) and after photodynamic therapy for BC followed by tumor resection. In the group without treatment, the levels of pro-oncogenic miR-21, miR-27a, and miR-221 in the thymus were reduced in comparison with those in the group of intact control. After surgical treatment of BC, the levels of miR-21 and miR-27a in the thymus increased in comparison with those in BC without treatment.

Ghrelin enhances feeding by activating the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). In the brain, GHSRs are expressed in regions responsible for regulating food motivation including the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Endogenous cannabinoids also promote food seeking behaviors through the cannabinoid receptor 1 type (CB-1Rs) in brain regions including the VTA.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) impacts women's health and quality of life. Post-surgery complications can be severe. This study uses rat models to replicate sacrocolpopexy and test materials for pelvic support, verifying the 4-week postoperative mortality rate, the mechanical properties of the mesh tissue, and the collagen content.

Problem: Endometriosis (EM) is known as a common estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease. Elevated levels of Forkhead box L2 (FOXL2) have been observed in uterine diseases, including EM. However, the molecular mechanism of FOXL2 in EM needs to be further illustrated.
