Preoperative Anxiety's Impact on the Median Effective Dose of Esketamine for Alleviating Propofol Injection Pain in Patients Undergoing Painless abortion: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial.

Background: Propofol injection pain (PIP) is a frequent adverse effect during anesthesia induction, impacting patient comfort and satisfaction. Esketamine has been shown to alleviate PIP, but the optimal dose, especially in relation to preoperative anxiety levels, remains unclear. Preoperative anxiety may heighten pain perception and influence analgesic requirements.

[Clinical features and genetic analysis of two children with Mowat-Wilson syndrome due to variants of ZEB2 gene].

Objective: To explore the clinical features and genetic variants in two children with Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS).

Methods: Two children admitted to the Affiliated Women and Children's Hospital of Ningbo University respectively in May and October 2022 were selected as the study subjects. Clinical data of the patients were collected.

[Clinical and genetic characteristics of children with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome caused by TCF4 gene variants].

The clinical data of children with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) who were treated in the Affiliated Women and Children's Hospital of Ningbo University from September 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively included. The patients were followed up to June 2024, and their clinical and genetic characteristics were analyzed. A total of 4 children were included, 2 males and 2 females, with a diagnostic age [M (Q, Q)] of 22 (10, 32) months.

Analysis of clinical phenotypes and genetic variations in two pedigrees affected with Weiss-Kruszka syndrome.

Background: Weiss-Kruszka syndrome (WSKA) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by multiple congenital anomalies caused by variants in the zinc finger protein 462 gene (ZNF462). About 40 cases of Weiss-Kruszka syndrome have been reported worldwide, and the aim of this study was to investigate the genetic causes of three patients from two Weiss-Kruszka syndrome family pedigrees with the aim of accumulating more data on the disease.

Objective: To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of two pedigrees with Weiss-Kruszka syndrome.

Screening and Predictive Biomarkers for Down Syndrome Through Amniotic Fluid Metabolomics.

Background: Down syndrome (DS) is a congenital disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of all or part of chromosome 21. It is characterized by significant intellectual disability, distinct facial features, and growth and developmental challenges. The utilization of metabolomics to analyze specific metabolic markers in maternal amniotic fluid may provide innovative tools and screening methods for investigating the early pathophysiology of trisomy 21 at the functional level.

Carrier frequency and incidence estimation of deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 in the Chinese population based on massive exome sequencing data.

Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disease characterised by early onset stroke, recurrent fever, and diverse vascular pathologies, caused by loss-of-function homozygous or compound heterozygous variants of ADA2. This research aimed to determine the carrier frequency and expected incidence of DADA2 in China, using massive exome sequencing (ES) data. A total of 50 likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants (LP/PVs) were identified among 69,413 Chinese individuals, including 20 novel and rare variants (<0.

tsRNA in head and neck tumors: Opportunities and challenges in the field.

Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are a newly recognized class of small non-coding RNAs that are implicated in a variety of cancers, including head and neck tumors. Studies have identified tsRNAs with differential expression profiles in head and neck malignancies, highlighting their potential as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. Functional analyses show that tsRNAs are involved in regulating critical cellular pathways, including those related to cell proliferation, migration, and metabolic processes.

RBPMS-AS1 sponges miR-19a-3p to restrain cervical cancer cells via enhancing PLCL1-mediated pyroptosis.

Cervical cancer (CC) poses a threat to human health. Enhancing pyroptosis can prevent the proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of tumor cells. This study aims to reveal the candidates that modulate pyroptosis in CC.

BRD4 absence inactivates endoplasmic reticulum stress to retard dehydroepiandrosterone-triggered ovarian granular cell apoptosis in polycystic ovary syndrome via GRP78.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder and significantly affects reproductive and metabolic function. Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is reported to promote ovarian fibrosis in PCOS. The present work was conducted to investigate the detailed role of BRD4 and the corresponding functional mechanism in PCOS.

Laparoscopic myomectomy for posterior cervical myoma: authors' experience and strategy.

Objectives: Posterior cervical myoma poses a challenge for gynecologic surgeons, especially in women who want to preserve their fertility. The objective of this study is to summarize our experience with and strategy for this difficult situation.

Methods: Between July 2019 and June 2021, 13 patients with posterior cervical myoma underwent laparoscopic myomectomy in our department.

Use of Barbed Suture in Laparoscopic Myomectomy with Large Posterior Myoma.

Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of barbed suture laparoscopic myomectomy for large posterior myoma compared to conventional suture.

Study Design: Descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Gynecology, Affiliated Women and Children's Hospital of Ningbo University, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China between July 2019 and June 2020.

Modified method of cervical conization with hybrid use of a cold knife and an electric knife for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and surgical outcome of the modified method of cervical conization with hybrid use of a cold knife and an electric knife.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of cervical conization for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions was performed between January 2020 and December 2020. Traditional cold knife conization and modified conization were used.
