Background: Preeclampsia, a condition causing new-onset hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation, is a significant cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of preeclampsia is complex, involving an interplay of vascular inflammation and angiogenic imbalance. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to elucidate the role of key vascular inflammatory candidate genes-VEGF, TNF-α, IL-10, and LPL-in the onset of preeclampsia.
Methodology: We conducted a comprehensive literature search across PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases, identifying case-control and cohort studies that examined the association between these genetic variants and preeclampsia.
Results: Our meta-analysis reveals significant associations between preeclampsia and polymorphisms in the VEGF, TNF-α, IL-10, and LPL genes, with pooled odds ratios indicating increased risk for the VEGF -2578C>A, VEGF -1154G>A, TNF-α -308G>A, IL-10 -819C>T, and LPL Ser447Ter variants.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that genetic predispositions in vascular inflammatory pathways may contribute to the development of preeclampsia, offering potential targets for early detection and therapeutic intervention. Further research is warranted to explore the molecular mechanisms by which these genetic variants influence the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and to develop targeted prevention strategies.

Inflammatory Microenvironment-Modulated Conductive Hydrogel Promotes Vascularized Bone Regeneration in Infected Bone Defects.
ACS Biomater Sci Eng

College of Stomatology, Chongqing Medical University, 426 Songshibei Road, Yubei District, Chongqing 401147, China.
Infected bone defects show a significant reduction in neovascularization during the healing process, primarily due to persistent bacterial infection and immune microenvironmental disorders. Existing treatments are difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments for infected bone defects, which is a key clinical therapeutic challenge that needs to be addressed. In this study, a conductive hydrogel based on copper nanoparticles was developed for controlling bacterial infection and remodeling the immune microenvironment.

Unlabelled: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and COVID-19-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is known to be a life-threatening health problem worldwide. The study investigates the potential relationship between asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels and disease severity in such conditions. We conducted an observational, prospective study between July 2021 and January 2022.

Importance: Maternal inflammation during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism, and cognitive deficits in early childhood. However, little is known about the contributions of a wider range of inflammatory proteins to this risk.
Objective: To determine whether maternal inflammatory proteins during pregnancy are associated with the risk of NDDs and executive functions (EF) in middle childhood and to identify protein patterns associated with NDDs and EF.
