Background: The value of tranexamic acid (TA) treatment as bleeding prophylaxis in major uterine surgery is unclear.
Objectives: To evaluate the antihemorrhagic effect of prophylactic TA treatment in major benign uterine surgery.
Search Strategy: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched from 1980 to 2015 without language restriction using search terms related to major uterine surgery combined with TA.
Selection Criteria: Randomized controlled trials comparing prophylactic TA with placebo or no intervention in women undergoing elective major benign uterine surgery.
Data Collection And Analysis: Basic information and outcomes were collected and meta-analyses performed.
Main Results: Sixteen trials were included, with five trials considered to have an overall low risk of bias. In cesarean delivery, TA significantly reduced intraoperative bleeding (mean -136 mL, 95% confidence interval [CI] -189 to -83), blood loss of more than 1000 mL (relative risk 0.38, 95% CI 0.18-0.81), and blood transfusion (relative risk 0.32, 95% CI 0.17-0.59). In abdominal myomectomy, TA also significantly reduced intraoperative bleeding (mean -251 mL, 95% CI -391 to -110).
Conclusions: Prophylactic TA treatment significantly reduced operative bleeding in women undergoing elective cesarean delivery or abdominal myomectomy. Additional randomized trials with low risk of bias are needed.

Prostate cancer (PC) progresses from benign epithelium through pre-malignant lesions, localized tumors, metastatic dissemination, and castration-resistant stages, with some cases exhibiting phenotype plasticity under therapeutic pressure. However, high-resolution insights into how cell phenotypes evolve across successive stages of PC remain limited. Here, we present the Prostate Cancer Cell Atlas (PCCAT) by integrating ∼710,000 single cells from 197 human samples covering a spectrum of tumor stages.

Here, we compared the AlphaFold2 and AlphaFold Multimer predicted structures of Bam protein and the Bam:Bgcn protein complex between , where is necessary in gametogenesis to that in , where it is not. Despite significant sequence divergence, we find very little evidence of significant structural differences in high confidence regions of the structures across the four species.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes progressive and irreversible damage to the kidneys. Renal biopsies are essential for diagnosing the etiology and prognosis of CKD, while accurate quantification of tubulo-interstitial injuries from whole slide images (WSIs) of renal biopsy specimens is challenging with visual inspection alone.
Methods: We develop a deep learning-based method named DLRS to quantify interstitial fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration as tubulo-interstitial injury scores, from WSIs of renal biopsy specimens.

Diverse liver diseases are characterised by late diagnosis and rapid progression and have become one of the major threats to human health. To delay the transition from benign tissue lesions to a substantial organ injury, scientists have gradually applied natural compounds derived from plants as a complementary therapy in the field of hepatology.

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a well-established and environmentally benign method for population control. Identifying genes that regulate insect fertility while preserving growth and development is crucial for implementing a novel SIT-based pest management approach utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 to target these genes for genetic manipulation. Tektin (TEKT), an essential alpha-helical protein pivotal in sperm formation due to its role in cilia and flagella assembly, has garnered attention.
