Capturing epidemiological signatures is essential to document burdens of disease and design health care services, including prevention measures, clinical interventions, policies. There are large geographical ethnic variations in the epidemiology allergic immunological diseases. Various data available from North America Europe, but diseases Asia not well documented.
Background. Childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is frequently complicated with nephritis (LN), which characterized by the deposition of DNA-containing immune complex to glomerulus. Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), capable recognizing microbially derived CpG oligonucleotide, plays a crucial role in innate immunity. TLR9 also assumed be related aetiology SLE recognition anti-DNA antibody-containing complex, but this remains controversial. We conducted study elucidate association...

Abstract Background The deletion region of 22q11.2 syndrome (22q11.2DS) contains a gene encoding glycoprotein Ibβ (GPIbβ), which is required to express the GPIb/IX/V complex on platelet surface. Therefore, patients with 22q11.2DS may have congenital disorders. However, information limited platelets and bleeding symptoms. In this study, we investigated clinical information, including symptoms, counts, GPIb expression levels in children adolescents/adults 22q11.2DS. Procedure Thirty‐two were...
Abstract Background Previous studies revealed positive, negative, and no influence of social capital on the health outcomes pregnant women. It was considered that such differences were caused by disparities outcome measures sample sizes between studies.

This analysis using a large prospective cohort study evaluated impact of maternal on their offspring’s HC and relationship with placental weight ratio (PWR) abnormalities. Parents-children pairs (n = 84,856) were included from 104,065 records Japan Environmental Children’s Study. perinatal clinical social information by...
In reproductive medicine, vitamin D (VitD) is of particular interest because its deficiency has been linked to various infertility issues.
