Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces severe functional impairments and involves intricate secondary injury mechanisms. Tanshinone IIA (TIIA), a key bioactive component of Salvia miltiorrhiza, exhibits neuroprotective potential, yet its role in ferroptosis regulation post-SCI remains undefined. This study explored the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of TIIA in SCI.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the utility of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and whole exome sequencing (WES) in fetuses diagnosed with talipes equinovarus (TE), as well as to explore the genetic factors contributing to TE.
Methods: The study reviewed a total of 241 fetuses with TE between January 2015 and December 2023, categorizing them into two groups based on the absence or presence of additional ultrasound anomalies: 163 cases (67.6%) in the isolated TE group and 78 cases (32.
Background: Malformations of cortical development (MCD) are a group of congenital disorders characterized by structural abnormalities in the brain cortex. The clinical manifestations include refractory epilepsy, mental retardation, and cognitive impairment. Genetic factors play a key role in the etiology of MCD.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the correlation between the ultrasound phenotype and copy number variation (CNV) of abnormal embryos in spontaneous abortion by investigating the abnormal chromosome copy number of embryos at different developmental stages in early spontaneous abortion.
Methods: A total of 539 patients who had early spontaneous abortion in our hospital between 2015 and 2019 were divided into seven groups according to the phenotype of abnormal embryonic development during pregnancy, and the embryonic tissues of the patients were subjected by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarray.
Results: Among 377 cases with abnormal CNV, 295 (78.
Non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is a complex condition with a high mortality and morbidity rate. Here we report the etiology and outcome of 1004 fetuses with NIHF, in a large single Maternal and Children's hospital of Southern China, since the year of 2009 to 2016. Among these 1004 fetuses with NIHF, the etiology was identified prenatally in 722 of them (72%).

Materials And Methods: The study patients were divided into a recurrent miscarriage group (30 cases) and a normal pregnancy group (21 cases). Measurement of endometrial thickness was performed using two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound in the midluteal phase.
