Objective: To investigate the association of polymorphisms of arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-1661G/A with glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTP1) -313A/G and the susceptibility to endometriosis in southern Han Chinese.
Methods: Total of 432 endometriosis patients undergoing laparoscopic or laparotomy surgery matched with 493 patients with fallopian tube ligation, tubal recanalization, laparoscopic hydrotubation, benign ovarian tumor and teratoma surgeries without endometriosis as control group were enrolled in this study. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of AhR -1661G/A and GSTP1 -313A/G were detected by using a fluorescent quantitative PCR-based high resolution melting (HRM).
Results: The numbers of combined genotypes AhR -1661G/A and GSTP1 -313A/G were 120 patients with AG + AA, 64 patients with AG + AG, 8 patients with AG + GG, 109 patients with GG + AA, 84 patients with GG + AG, 4 patients with GG + GG, 31 patients with AA + AA, 10 patients with AA + AG, 1 patient with AA + GG at endometriosis group and 131 patients with AG + AA, 68 patients with AG + AG, 6 patients with AG + GG, 157 patients with GG + AA, 66 patients with GG + AG, 4 patients with GG + GG, 35 patients with AA + AA, 20 patients with AA + AG, 3 patients with AA + GG at endometriosis group. There was no statistically different frequencies of genotypes between endometriosis group and control group (χ(2) = 12.558, P = 0.128). Compared with genotype GG + AA, the risk of endometriosis with genotype GG + AG was increased 1.833 time (95%CI: 1.233 - 2.274).
Conclusion: The combined genotype GG + AG [from AhR -1661G/A (GG) and GSTP1 -313A/G (AG)] might be related with susceptibility to endometriosis.

Introduction: In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the number of eosinophils increases in the lamina propria of the intestinal tract, but their specific patho-mechanistic role remains unclear. Elevated blood eosinophil counts in active IBD suggest their potential as biomarkers for predicting response to biologic therapies. This study evaluates blood eosinophil count trends and their predictive value for clinical response and endoscopic improvement in patients with IBD receiving ustekinumab or adalimumab induction therapy.

Background: Conversational agents (CAs) are finding increasing application in health and social care, not least due to their growing use in the home. Recent developments in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing have enabled a variety of new uses for CAs. One type of CA that has received increasing attention recently is smart speakers.

Background: Acquired neurological diseases entail significant changes and influence the relationship between a patient and their significant other. In the context of long-term rehabilitation, those affected collaborate with health care professionals who are expected to have a positive impact on the lives of the affected individuals.
Objective: This study aims to examine the changes in the relationship between the patient and their loved ones due to acquired neurological disorders and the influence of health care professionals on this relationship.
