Objective: This study aimed at exploring the diagnostic values and pathological conditions of serum HGF and CA199 in endometriosis (EMT).
Methods: From May 2017 to January 2019, 86 patients with EMT, who were admitted to our hospital, were grouped as Group B, whereas 78 healthy women undergoing physical examinations during the same period were grouped as Group A. Serum HGF and CA199 levels in both groups were detected to analyze their diagnostic values for EMT and their relationships with clinical data.
Results: Compared with those in Group A, both serum HGF and CA199 expression elevated significantly in Group B (P<0.05). Their expression was correlated with the age, course of disease, number of nodules and infiltration depth of the patients (P<0.05). Besides, their expression was remarkably higher in patients with stages III ± IV than that in patients with stages I ± II (P<0.05). According to the Kaplan-Meier curves for tumor-free survival, the high expression of HGF and CA199 was related to the poor prognosis of the patients (P<0.05). According to the COX regression analysis for risk factors, the number of nodules, infiltration depth, American Fertility Society (AFS) staging, HGF and CA199 were the independent risk factors of EMT recurrence (P<0.05).
Conclusion: HGF and CA199 increase in patients with EMT, and can be used as the biomarkers for diagnosing the disease and predicting its prognosis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by altered levels of inflammatory cytokines. One of the key cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of RA is tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), which plays a crucial role in the differentiation of T cells and B cells and serves as a primary trigger of inflammation and joint damage in RA. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have shown potential in alleviating the symptoms of RA.

Introduction: Before performing cell therapy clinical trials, it is important to understand how cells are influenced by different growth conditions and to find optimal xeno-free medium formulations. In this study we have investigated the properties of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) cultured under xeno-free conditions.
Methods: Human lipoaspirate samples were digested to yield the stromal vascular fraction cells which were then seeded in i) Minimum Essential Medium-α (MEM-α) supplemented with 10 % (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS), ii) MEM-α supplemented with 2 % (v/v) human platelet lysate (PLT) or iii) PRIME-XV MSC expansion XSFM xeno-free, serum free medium (XV).

Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) brain metastasis (BrM) remains a significant clinical problem. Mucins have been implicated in metastasis; however, if they are also involved in BCBrM remains unknown. We queried BrM patient databases and found Mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) to be upregulated and therefore sought to define the role of MUC5AC in BCBrM.
