Background: Mutations in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor ( LDLR ) are one of the main causes familial hypercholesterolemia, which induces atherosclerosis and has a high lifetime risk cardiovascular disease. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system is an effective tool for gene editing to correct mutations thus ameliorate Methods: goal this work was determine whether vivo somatic cell through CRISPR/Cas9 delivered by adeno-associated virus...
Summary Increased fat mass and redistribution are commonly observed in aging populations worldwide. Although decreased circulating levels of sex hormones, androgens oestrogens have been observed, the exact mechanism accumulation during remains obscure. In this study, receptor follicle‐stimulating hormone ( FSH ), a gonadotropin that increases sharply persistently with both males females, is functionally expressed human mouse tissues adipocytes. Follicle‐stimulating was found to promote lipid...
Abstract Context Accurate methods for early gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (during the first trimester of pregnancy) prediction in Chinese and other populations are lacking. Objectives This work aimed to establish effective models predict GDM. Methods Pregnancy data 73 variables during were extracted from electronic medical record system. Based on a machine learning (ML)-driven feature selection method, 17 selected GDM prediction. To facilitate clinical application, 7 17-variable panel....
As of June 1, 2020, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused more than 6,000,000 infected persons and 360,000 deaths globally. Previous studies revealed pregnant women with COVID-19 had similar clinical manifestations to nonpregnant women. However, little is known about the outcome neonates born
Reducing cardiovascular disease burden among women remains challenging. Epidemiologic studies have indicated that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrine in of reproductive age, is associated with an increased prevalence and extent coronary artery disease. However, mechanism through which PCOS affects cardiac health unclear.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is involved in mammalian reproduction via binding to FSH receptor (FSHR). However, several studies have found that and FSHR play important roles extragonadal tissue. Here, we identified the expression of human mouse pancreatic islet β-cells. Blocking signaling by Fshr knock-out led impaired glucose tolerance owing decreased insulin secretion, while high levels caused insufficient secretion as well. In vitro, orchestrated glucose-stimulated (GSIS) a bell...
Bone morphogenetic protein-15 (BMP-15) has been shown to influence oocyte maturation and quality. However, no relationship established between BMP-15 quality/embryonic development in humans. The aim of this study is investigate level human follicular fluid (FF) its possible role determining quality developmental potential.A total 79 oocytes their corresponding FF from women undergoing ICSI were examined. Individual inseminated subsequently assessed on the basis fertilization, cleavage...
Abstract Background Early pregnancy loss (EPL) is a frustrating clinical problem, whose mechanisms are not completely understood. DNA methylation, which includes maintenance methylation and de novo directed by methyltransferases (DNMTs), important for embryo development. Abnormal function of these DNMTs may have serious consequences embryonic Methods To evaluate the possible involvement in human EPL, expression DNMT proteins global were assessed villous or decidua from EPL patients. The...
Though speakers and listeners monitor communication success, they systematically overestimate it. We report an extreme illusion of understanding that exists even without shared language. Native Mandarin Chinese overestimated how well native English-speaking Americans understood what said in Chinese, when were informed the knew no Chinese. These also believed intentions much more than actually did. This impacts theories speech monitoring may be consequential real-life, where miscommunication...
Abstract Background Fertility awareness and menses prediction are important for improving fecundability health management. Previous studies have used physiological parameters, such as basal body temperature (BBT) heart rate (HR), to predict the fertile window menses. However, their accuracy is far from satisfactory. Additionally, few researchers examined irregular menstruators. Thus, we aimed develop menstruation algorithms both regular Methods This was a prospective observational cohort...
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an important complication of pregnancy that poses significant threats to women and their offspring. Telomere length shortens as cellular damage increases associated with metabolic diseases. in fetal leucocytes was determined 82 infants GDM (N = 82) 65 normal pregnant 65). Women preeclampsia 45) gestational hypertension 23) were also studied. In the group, telomere significantly shorter than (P 0.028), but there no differences between 0.841) 0.561)....
