Objective: To compare the immunohistochemical expression of RECK protein in placental membranes of late preterm delivery in women with and without histologically proven chorioamnionitis.
Study Design: Fetal membranes were collected from women who had late preterm delivery with (n=8) and without (n=9) histologic chorioamnionitis. Immunohistochemistry for RECK protein was performed on formalin fixed and paraffin-embedded sections. The two groups were matched for age, body mass index and parity. SPSS Version 13.0 was used for statistical analysis.
Results: There was weaker immunohistochemical expression of RECK protein in placental membranes of women with histologic chorioamnionitis compared to control subjects (P=0.0498).
Conclusions: Chorioamnionitis has an impact on immunohistochemical expression of RECK protein in placental membranes in late preterm delivery.

Objective: This study aimed to identify upregulated genes in HPV16-positive cervical cancer cells and investigate the impact of downregulating NAD(P) H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) on the survival of these cells.
Methods: Transcriptomic sequencing (RNA-seq) was utilized to pinpoint upregulated genes and associated cancer-related pathways in HPV16-positive cervical cancer cells, comparing them to HPV-negative cervical cancer cells. NQO1 gene knockdown was performed in HPV16-positive cervical cancer cell lines to assess its effect on cell survival, including parameters such as cell proliferation, migration, invasion, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and the expression of key proteins in the PI3K/AKT pathway, p53, and RECK.

During placenta development, extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells invade the maternal decidua to remodel the uterine spiral arteries by a process of mesenchymal to endothelial-like transition. Traditionally, this process is evaluated by an in vitro tube-formation assay, where the cells organize themselves into tube-like structures when seeded over a polymerized basement membrane preparation. Although several structural features can be measured in photomicrographs of the structures, to assess the real commitment of EVT to the endothelial-type phenotype, biochemical analysis of cell extracts is required.

Pruritus (i.e., the experience that evokes a desire to scratch) is an adaptive process that can become maladaptive, leading to a persistent scratch-itch cycle that potentiates pruritus and increases the risk of infection.

Endometriosis is a common chronic disorder characterized by the growth of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. The disease is associated with chronic inflammation and pelvic pain and may have an impact on the patient's fertility. The causative factors and pathophysiology of the disease are still poorly recognized.
