Abstract

Lymphocyte immunotherapy (LIT) is believed to be a viable treatment for unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA), but its effect remains controversial. This study aims to investigate the clinical effect of LIT in patients with URSA and clarify the factors that may influence the outcome of LIT. This study included a total of 704 URSA patients, of which 444 patients accepted LIT treatment. URSA patients that did not accept LIT served as control group. Clinical characteristics were collected and analyzed between LIT and control group. The blocking antibody was tested before and after LIT. The outcome of LIT treatment was recorded. Logistic regression analysis was applied to evaluate the independent predictors of LIT success. After LIT treatment, 77.9% (346/444) of USRA patients turned to BA positive, and the conversion rate elevated with increased LIT (p < .001). LIT significantly improved the pregnancy rate and live birth rate in USRA patients (65.3% vs. 29.6%, p < .001; 80.3% vs. 50.6%, p < .001). Multivariate regression analysis suggested that younger maternal age and positive BA were independent predictors of LIT success. LIT effectively induced the production of BA, and improved pregnancy rate and live birth rate in ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
