Ralationship between polymorphisms and diplotypes of HLA-G 3'UTR and fetuses with abnormal chromosomes or unexplained pregnancy loss (UPL).

Objectives: Human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) plays a crucial role in pregnancy. Pregnancy loss (PL) is caused by a variety of causes, such as fetal chromosomal abnormalities, maternal hypertension and diabetes, immune causes, spontaneous immune diseases, infections, unknown causes, etc. This study reports on the association of fetal HLA-G 3'UTR polymorphisms and diplotypes with chromosomally abnormal fetuses (CAF) or unexplained pregnancy loss (UPL).

[Clinical observation of virtual reality technology combined with isokinetic strength training for patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction].

Objective: To explore application value and effectiveness of virtual reality technology combined with isokinetic muscle strength training in the rehabilitation of patients after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery.

Methods: Forty patients who underwent ACL reconstruction surgery from December 2021 to January 2023 were selected and divided into control group and observation group according to treatment methods, 20 patients in each group. Control group was received routine rehabilitation training combined with isokinetic muscle strength training, including 15 males and 5 females, aged from 17 to 44 years old, with an average of (29.

Prediction of small-for-gestational-age neonates at 33-39 weeks' gestation in China: logistic regression modeling of the contributions of second- and third-trimester ultrasound data and maternal factors.

Objectives: A screening model for prediction of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates (SGAp) was established by logistic regression using ultrasound data and maternal factors (MF). We aimed to evaluate the ability of SGAp as well as abdominal circumference (AC) and estimated fetal weight (EFW) measurements to predict SGA neonates at 33-39 weeks' gestation.

Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 5298 singleton pregnancies that had involved three ultrasound examinations at 21-27, 28-32, and 33-39 weeks.

Evaluation of Maternal Serum sHLA-G Levels for Trisomy 18 Fetuses Screening at Second Trimester.

Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) has been widely acknowledged to play critical roles in fetal-maternal maintenance. However, the significance of using maternal serum sHLA-G to detect prenatal chromosomal abnormality has not been investigated. In China, prenatal screening using maternal α-fetoprotein (AFP), unconjugated estriol (uE3), and free β subunit human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) in the second trimester has been widely applied.

Association between the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, bone mineral density and osteoporosis in type 2 diabetes patients.

Aims/introduction: Low bodyweight and hypoalbuminemia are independently associated with osteoporosis. In this study, the relationship among the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients was explored, and the GNRI predictive value was evaluated.

Materials And Methods: We enrolled 225 men and 192 women with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
