Ir J Med Sci
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Perinatology Clinic, Istanbul University Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: Sirtuins and FoxO1 are reported to be important in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. This study aimed to investigate whether serum FoxO1 and SIRT2 concentrations differ between preeclampsia and normal pregnancy and also to compare these markers in early- and late-onset preeclampsia.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 27 women with early-onset preeclampsia, 27 women with late-onset preeclampsia, and 26 healthy normotensive pregnant controls.
Association between hormone therapy and glioma risk in US women: a cancer screening trial.
Menopause
January 2025
From the Department of Neurosurgery, Chongqing General Hospital, Chongqing University, Chongqing, China.
Objective: Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults, and the role of hormone therapy (HT) in their development remains controversial. This study with a cohort design aimed to investigate the association between HT use and glioma risk using the data from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial.
Methods: We analyzed data from 75,335 women, aged 50-78, who were enrolled between 1993 and 2001.

PFOS-Induced Perturbations in Trophoblast Functions through the Oip5os1/miR-155/Rnd3 Axis in PE.
Chem Res Toxicol
January 2025
Department of Prenatal Diagnosis Center, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang, Guangdong 524000, China.
The widespread use of perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) has raised concerns regarding its potential on pregnant women, particularly in relation to the development of pre-eclampsia (PE). This study investigates the impact of PFOS exposure on the LncRNA/Rnd3 axis in pregnant mice and its association with trophoblast cell functions in PE. Bioinformatics analysis revealed PFOS-related gene alterations in PE, with pathways enriched in apoptotic signaling and cytokine interactions.
