05). Our results found that concentric and eccentric contractions presented different responses in PGC1α-1, IGF-1Ea, IGF-1Eb, and IGF-1Ec mRNA. However, a similar significant increase in mRNA content was observed in PGC1α-4. Further, no apparent differences could be found between the response of genes to eccentric and concentric contraction.
To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of angiogenesis inhibitors for the treatment of ovarian cancer patients, we conducted a meta-analysis of the published literature on this subject.
In this meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The literature search was performed up to August 12, 2019. The risk of bias of the included studies was evaluated using The Cochrane Collaboration's tool, and the statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.3 software. The sensitivity analysis was performed with Stata 12.0 software.
22 RCTs with 11,254 patients were included. Our meta-analysis demonstrates that angiogenesis inhibitors therapy can significantly improve progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio [HR] 0.71, 95% CI 0.63-0.79, I
= 80%, P < 0.00001) and overall survival (OS) (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.90-0.99, I
= 0%, P = 0.03) in ovarian cancer patients. The subgroups results suggest differences in the benefit in Oand thrombosis or embolism.
This meta-analysis suggests angiogenesis inhibitors may significantly improve PFS and OS of ovarian cancer patients and increase the incidence of common adverse events.

Numbers of planned cesarean deliveries are increasing in twin pregnancies, despite the lack of evidence for this approach, and the second twin is thought to be at risk for a poorer outcome. The aim of this study was to examine whether twins have a poorer outcome if an attempted vaginal delivery is changed to a cesarean section or combined delivery.
This retrospective data analysis included all women with dichorionic twin pregnancies attempting vaginal delivery over a 10-year period. Outcome parameters for the first and second twins relative to their mode of birth were compared. A correlation model between the interdelivery time interval and Apgar scores was calculated. Subgroup analyses assessing the birth mode of the first and second twins were conducted.
A total of 248 women were enrolled in the study. The second twins had significantly lower values for outcome parameters, such as umbilical artery cord pH and Apgar scores in comparison with the first twins (P < 0.01). The subgroup analysis of birth modes in first and second twins showed a significantly poorer outcome in the cesarean section and combined delivery group (P < 0.05). The interdelivery time interval was significantly longer in the second twin cesarean section group (P < 0.01). There was no significant correlation between the interdelivery time intervals and Apgar scores (P > 0.05).
Although outcome parameters were significantly lower in second twins and twins born via secondary cesarean section, the clinical relevance of this appears to be negligible.

We aimed to analyze the linear changes of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) and Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) levels in pregnant women who administrated magnesium sulfate for fetal neuroprotection.
This retrospective study included 63 pregnant women who underwent neuroprotective magnesium sulfate administration during January 2015 and July 2020. Women with co-existing diseases or obstetric complications such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, suspicion of chorioamnionitis etc. excluded. DX3213B The laboratory test results were obtained for each participant. Three results were compared; (1) Before magnesium sulfate-0th hour, (2) 6h and (3) 12h after starting loading dose.
The mean NLR was 7.18 ± 5.14 in patients before treatment. The mean NLR increased to 10.09 ± 4.77 and 10.04 ± 4.35 at 6th and 12th hour of magnesium sulfate treatment. The mean PLR was also increased after starting neuroprotective magnesium sulfate (170.35 ± 89.09 at the beginning; 209.85 ± 88.77 at 6th hour and 209.24 ± 76.66 at 12th hour). The mean SII was found to be increased from 1783.33 ± 1367.29 to 2517.15 ± 1325.77 with magnesium sulfate treatment. However, no statistically significant difference was observed in terms of SII between 6 and 12th hours of treatment (p = 0.752). Maternal serum magnesium levels at 6th and 12th hour were found to be not correlated with NLR, PLR and SII.
We demonstrated that values of NLR, PLR and SII at 6th hour were all increased after starting magnesium sulfate. Levels of these systemic inflammatory indices were similar at 6th and 12th hour of therapy.

However, materials based on natural polymers have weak physicochemical properties. Thereby, there is a challenge to improve their properties without initiation of toxicity. The alternative method compared to toxic chemical agents' addition is the use of metal complexation method. In this study, chitosan/tannic acid mixtures modified by Fe(III) complexation are proposed and tested for potential applications as wound dressings. Thereby, surface properties, blood compatibility as well as platelet adhesion was tested. In addition, the periodontal ligament stromal cells compatibility studies were carried out. The results showed that the iron(III) addition to chitosan/tannic acid mixture improves properties due to a decrease in the surface free energy and exhibited a reduction in the hemolysis rate (below 5%). Moreover, cells cultured on the surface of films with Fe(III) showed higher metabolic activity. The current findings allow for the medical application of the proposed materials as wound dressings.
