Pregnancy Outcomes of Targeted Synthetic Disease‐Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs Among Patients With Autoimmune Diseases: A Scoping Review

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Targeted synthetic disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs (tsDMARDs) have expanded the management of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatic diseases. As the use of these drugs grows, it is important to understand their effects on pregnancy.

Congenital malformations among newborns admitted in the neonatal unit of a tertiary hospital in Enugu, South-East Nigeria - a retrospective study

BMC Research Notes, 2012
Background Congenital abnormalities are not uncommon among newborns and contribute to neonatal and infant morbidity and mortality. The prevalence and pattern of presentation vary from place to place.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Caused by Damaged Mitochondria and Imbalanced Protein Homeostasis in Alveolar Epithelial Type II Cell

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
By systematizing a large body of evidence and propose a cascade relationship between protein homeostasis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and pro‐fibrotic factor, providing a theoretical basis for ATII cells dysfunction as a possible pathophysiological initiating event for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Automated Detection of Congenital Heart Disease in Fetal Ultrasound Screening [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Prenatal screening with ultrasound can lower neonatal mortality significantly for selected cardiac abnormalities. However, the need for human expertise, coupled with the high volume of screening cases, limits the practically achievable detection rates.

The Placenta Regulates Intrauterine Fetal Growth via Exosomal PPARγ

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The placenta expresses much higher levels of PPARγ than fetal adipose tissue. Trophoblastic exosomes transport PPARγ into fetal preadipocytes via fetoplacental circulation and thus regulate adipogenic genes distinct from endogenous PPARγ. Compromised placental PPARγ leads to fetal adipogenesis deficiency and intrauterine growth restriction, reversible ...

Viral‐Mediated Connexin 26 Expression Combined with Dexamethasone Rescues Hearing in a Conditional Gjb2 Null Mice Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AAV2.7m8 serotype combined with the gfaABC1D promoter targets infection of supporting cells (SCs). AAV2.7m8‐gfaABC1D‐Gjb2 administration to mice results in excessive immune responses. The combination of AAV2.7m8‐gfaABC1D‐Gjb2 with dexamethasone (DEX) shows a synergistic effect and enhances the gene therapy effect in a conditional Cx26 null mice model ...

Single Administration of AAV‐mAtp6v1b2 Gene Therapy Rescues Hearing and Vestibular Disorders Caused by Atp6v1b2‐Induced Lysosomal Dysfunction in Hair Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wei et al. establish a hair cell‐specific conditional knockout mouse model (Atp6v1b2fl/fl;Atoh1Cre/+), and demonstrate the importance of Atp6v1b2 for hair cell through maintaining the survival of lysosomes. A single administration of AAV‐ie‐Eh3‐mAtp6v1b2 through scala media at P0‐P2 realizes function compensation and restores hearing and balance ...

Transcriptomic Profiling Unveils EDN3+ Meningeal Fibroblasts as Key Players in Sturge‐Weber Syndrome Pathogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sturge‐Weber syndrome (SWS) is characterized by leptomeningeal vascular malformations, leading to seizures and stroke. Analysis of 119 446 brain cells from SWS patients uncovered distinct cell heterogeneity and identified an EDN3⁺ meningeal fibroblast cluster, with WNT5A emerging as a potential key driver of SWS progression and a promising therapeutic ...
