Poverty and access to maternal health care in Tajikistan

, 2003
Using recently available survey data for Tajikistan, this paper investigates changes in the pattern of maternal health care over the last decade, and the extent to which inequalities in access to that care have emerged.

The Landscape and Regulation of Histone Crotonylation in Mammalian Gametes and Early Embryos

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Histone crotonylation undergoes a genome‐wide transition from broad domains to canonical narrow peaks during minor zygotic genome activation (ZGA). This remodeling is required for proper major ZGA and blastocyst formation. Disruption of this transition by transcriptional inhibition, metabolic perturbation, or HDAC1 dysfunction impairs embryonic ...

Persistence of Natural Disasters on Children's Health: Evidence from the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923

, 2021
This study uses a catastrophic earthquake in 1923 to analyze the long-term effects of a one-off disaster on children's health. I find that fetal exposure to Japan's Great Kanto Earthquake had stunting effects on girls in the devastated area.

Nanoplastics and Neurodegeneration: A Roadmap From Mechanism to Causation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanoplastics are pervasive environmental contaminants with potentially profound implications for human health. Emerging evidence suggests a possible link between nanoplastic exposure and neurodegeneration, a key driver of ageing and dementia, yet causality remains unresolved.

Clinical application of polar body-based preimplantation genetic testing for maternal mutations in women with a limited number of oocytes

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Trophectoderm (TE) cell biopsy at the blastocyst stage is currently the most common method used in preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M). However, this approach may result in the wasting of some genetically unaffected

Dual‐Mode Type I/II Photosensitization of a Stable Mesoporous Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Framework for Antibacterial Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A π‐conjugated donor–acceptor PDI monomer undergoes hydrogen‐bonded self‐assembly to form a robust mesoporous framework. The ordered molecular arrangement promotes efficient intersystem crossing and charge separation, leading to simultaneous Type I and Type II reactive oxygen species generation with a high singlet oxygen quantum yield.

Influence of prepregnancy BMI and weight gain during pregnancy on pregnancy outcomes in women: a cohort study based in Yunnan, China

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
Background Maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) are important determinants of maternal and neonatal health.

Fosl2 Regulates FSH‐Dependent Follicle Maturation Through Feedback Amplification of FSH/FSHR Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a FOSL2‐driven positive feedback loop that amplifies FSH/FSHR signaling. During FSH‐dependent follicle maturation, FSH induces Fosl2 expression via the cAMP‐PKA‐CREB cascade. FOSL2 in turn binds the promoters of Fshr and estrogen‐biosynthesis genes to enhance their transcription, thereby increasing Fshr mRNA level and amplifying ...

Factors predicting depressive symptoms in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder in eastern China

BMC Public Health
Background Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at a higher risk of depression than parents of typically developing children and those of children with other developmental disorders. Depression affects the well-being and quality of

Prmt6 Deficiency or Inhibition Restores Microglial Homeostasis and Promotes Scar‐Limited Repair in Adult Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
After spinal cord injury, adult microglia remain persistently activated with chronic PRMT6 (protein arginine methyltransferase 6) upregulation. Prmt6 deficiency or inhibition reestablishes microglial homeostasis and promotes a scar‐limited repairment, enhancing axonal regrowth.
