The methylation status of each CpG site can be monitored by Fl-dGTP incorporated asymmetric PCR assay. The ability of quantitative detection makes it a good choice for detecting partial methylation at CpG sites compared with others. And the monitoring is not limited to sites within PCR primers or restriction enzyme-recognition sites.

Impact of high maternal body mass index on fetal cerebral cortical and cerebellar volumes.
J Perinat Med
January 2025
Tufts Medical Center, Mother Infant Research Institute, Boston, MA, USA.
Objectives: Maternal obesity increases a child's risk of neurodevelopmental impairment. However, little is known about the impact of maternal obesity on fetal brain development.
Methods: We prospectively recruited 20 healthy pregnant women across the range of pre-pregnancy or first-trimester body mass index (BMI) and performed fetal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of their healthy singleton fetuses.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ferroptosis in the occurrence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) using a mouse model and to elucidate whether electroacupuncture (EA) can improve POCD by suppressing ferroptosis via the transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1)-divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1)-ferroportin (FPN) pathway.
Methods: The experiment involved three groups: the control group, the POCD group and the POCD + EA group. The POCD animal model was established using sevoflurane anesthesia and tibial fracture.
Peripheral Single-Cell Immune Characteristics Contribute to the Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia With Lewy Bodies.
CNS Neurosci Ther
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Objective: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are common neurodegenerative diseases with distinct but overlapping pathogenic mechanisms. The clinical similarities between these diseases often result in high misdiagnosis rates, leading to serious consequences. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are easy to collect and can accurately reflect the immune characteristics of both DLB and AD.

Eur J Med Res
January 2025
Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, Shengli Street, Xingqing District, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region 804, Yinchuan City, 753400, China.
Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis due to its late-stage diagnosis and limited treatment options.
Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying PC progression and identify potential molecular targets for its diagnosis and treatment.
Methods: DAZAP1 expression in PC tissues, normal tissues and cell lines was assessed using immunohistochemistry (IHC), reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting.
A modeling study to define guidelines for antigen screening in schools and workplaces to mitigate COVID-19 outbreaks.
Commun Med (Lond)
January 2025
International Research Center for Neurointelligence, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: In-person interaction offers invaluable benefits to people. To guarantee safe in-person activities during a COVID-19 outbreak, effective identification of infectious individuals is essential. In this study, we aim to analyze the impact of screening with antigen tests in schools and workplaces on identifying COVID-19 infections.
