Restoration of bladder neck activity and levator hiatus dimensions in Asian primipara: a prospective study by Zexuan Yang (14585926)

“…</b> This study was the first longitudinal study in Asian primipara to investigate the natural regeneration of pelvic floor functions in the early postpartum period by intensively monitoring the bladder neck mobility and levator hiatus dimensions at multiple time points. We found that bladder neck descent (BND) increased significantly from 2 weeks onwards until 6 weeks postpartum; the levator hiatus area at rest and contraction both showed the largest value at 2 weeks postpartum, followed by a continuous decrease; the hiatus area during Valsalva manoeuvre, and the levator hiatus distensibility and contractility showed the lowest value at 2 weeks postpartum, followed by a continuous increase; the changes in BND showed no correlation with the changes in distensibility or hiatus area during Valsalva manoeuvre.…”

Source data - by Desheng Xie (21439869)

“…The results indicate that: 1) Vegetation cover in the affected regions decreased from 0.43 to 0.38 between 2017 and 2024, with Fire Zone 1 showing minimal recovery and Fire Zone 3 exhibiting moderate improvement, though the overall low vegetation area expanded due to ongoing fires; 2) The Remote Sensing Ecological Index (RSEI) declined from 0.41 to 0.38, with poor-rated areas increasing significantly, particularly in Fire Zone 3, reflecting the ongoing degradation of ecological conditions caused by both fire activity and climate factors; 3) The Flat Spectral Shape Index (FSSI) showed stability, but fluctuations in the areas with moderate and high probability of exposed coal, especially in Fire Zone 3, pointed to the expanding fire footprint and worsening ecological degradation; 4) Surface subsidence varied considerably, with Fire Zone 3 experiencing the most severe subsidence, indicating unstable geological conditions exacerbated by fire activity. …”

Inflammation and Gli2 Suppress Gastrin Gene Expression in a Murine Model of Antral Hyperplasia by Milena Saqui-Salces (126581)

“…Using a mouse model of constitutively active epithelial GLI2 expression, we found that activated GLI2 repressed <em>Gast</em> expression but induced <em>Il-1β</em> gene expression and proliferation in the gastric antrum, along with a reduction of the number of G-cells. …”

Negative Epistasis between Sickle and Foetal Haemoglobin Suggests a Reduction in Protection against Malaria by Bruno P. Mmbando (737804)

Endocrine Determinants of Changes in Insulin Sensitivity and Insulin Secretion during a Weight Cycle in Healthy Men by Judith Karschin (696523)

“…Weight regain-induced decrease in postprandial IS correlated with increases in adiponectin, fT3, TSH, GL of the diet and a decrease in ghrelin levels (r-values between -0.40 and 0.83, p<0.05) whereas increases in early and total insulin secretion were associated with a decrease in leptin/adiponectin-ratio (r = -0.52 and r = -0.46, p<0.05) and a decrease in fT4 (r = -0.38, p<0.05 for total insulin secretion only). …”
