Article Abstract

To evaluate the association between preeclampsia and three single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs13405728 in gene; rs13429458 in gene, and rs2479106 in gene) which were identified to be genetic variants of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by genome-wide association study in Han Chinese populations. A total of 784 northern Han Chinese women (378 controls and 406 cases) were genotyped for the three genetic variants by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing. Unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to adjust the impact of prepregnancy body mass index, primiparas, and maternal age. No significant difference was found in the allele frequencies of the three genetic variants between cases and controls ( > .05), but genotype frequency of the SNP rs2479106 was significantly differ between cases and controls when analyzed under recessive models ( = .02). There was also a substantial difference in the genotype frequencies of the SNP rs13429458 between cases and controls under additive models ( = .01). Genetic variants of PCOS (rs13405728 in gene; rs13429458 in gene and rs2479106 in gene) may not be involved in the development of preeclampsia in Han Chinese women.

Natural products have emerged as a vital source of active ingredients in medicine, food, and cosmetics due to their unique biological activities, safety profiles, and sustainability. However, most bioactive compounds in natural products are intensely bitter, limiting their use in pharmaceuticals and foods. The bitter taste attributes vary markedly among different compound classes, predominantly due to their structural characteristics.

Rational design of tunable pH switches through shadow-strand hybridization-actuated displacement engineering.

Nucleic Acids Res

September 2025

Key Laboratory of Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics (Chinese Ministry of Education), College of Laboratory Medicine, Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing 400016, P. R. China.

Local pH variations play a pivotal role in numerous critical biological processes. However, achieving the tunability and selectivity of pH detection remains a challenge. Here, we present a DNA-based strategy that enables programmable and selective pH responses, which is termed shadow-strand hybridization-actuated displacement engineering (SHADE).

Recent Progress In Organic High-Temperature Photothermal Materials.

Chem Asian J

September 2025

School of Science and Engineering, Shenzhen Institute of Molecular Aggregate Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen), Shenzhen, 518172, China.

Organic high-temperature photothermal materials (T > 100 °C) have demonstrated significant application values because of their ability to exceed the temperature limits of traditional organic photothermal materials, enabling spatiotemporally controllable long-distance heating and high-temperature conversion of laser or sunlight. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in organic high-temperature photothermal materials, mainly including organic small molecule and polymer materials. Their photothermal conversion mechanisms and the factors influencing their performance as well as their applications, including photo controlled ignition/deflagration, photothermal induced actuators, photo controlled metal processing, and concentrated sunlight energy conversion were elaborated.

Study on the remodeling of distal residual dissection after surgery in patients with type A aortic dissection and Marfan syndrome.

JTCVS Open

August 2025

State Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Disease, Center of Vascular Surgery, Fuwai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.

Objective: To evaluate the remodeling of the distal aorta and outcomes after aortic surgery for type A aortic dissection (TAAD) in patients with Marfan syndrome and investigate whether morphologic characteristics of the dissection can predict negative remodeling.

Methods: Between 2013 and 2021, we performed total arch with a frozen elephant trunk for 325 patients with Marfan syndrome with DeBakey type I aortic dissection. Mean age was 47.
