About 2% of the population in the world are carriers of the thalassemia gene. Thalassemia is highly prevalent in Southern China, and traditional clinical testing methods would cause missed diagnosis of partial static thalassemia. Here, we reviewed and summarized a set of simple and clinically feasible thalassemia detection protocols adopted by the Prenatal Diagnosis and Reproductive Center of our hospital.

In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), immune tolerance is influenced by defects in naturally occurring T cells (Tregs). To investigate the apoptosis rate of Tregs and their suppressive activity in patients with SLE and then to recognize the genes and signaling pathways that cause Treg apoptosis. FACS was used to assess the frequency and apoptosis rates of Tregs in 48 SLE patients and 28 normal controls (NCs).

Personnel Department, Shantou Chenghai District Chronic Disease Prevention and Treatment Station, Guangdong Province, Shantou, PR China.

Background: The endometrium and uterine junction zone often change throughout the menstrual cycle. Some pathological conditions may appear normal in uterine imaging, which will lead to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

Purpose: To evaluate the changes in the thickness and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the endometrium and uterine junction zone throughout the menstrual cycle in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of women of reproductive age.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Department of Fetal Medicine and Prenatal Diagnosis, Key Laboratory for Major Obstetric Diseases of Guangdong Province, 117980The Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Objective: How to reduce the neurodevelopmental toxicity of decabromodiphenyl ether PBDE-209 remains unclear. This study investigated neurodevelopmental toxicity of PBDE-209 and the protective effects of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).

Methods: Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with PBDE-209 and IGF-1, and the offspring were subjected to the Morris Water Maze test.
