1.The relationship between integrin β3 subunit and estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor on endometrial epithelial cells of luteal phase defect
Chongqing Medicine 2001;(3):213-214
Objective To study the relationship between uterine receptivity and estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor on endometrial epithelial cells of LPD. Methods Integrinβ3 subunit, ER,PR on endometrial epithelial cells of LPD swere datermined by immunmohisto chemical analysis. Results Integ rin β3 subunit was significantly decreased, while estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor were significantly elevated in glandular epithelial cells from tissue samples with LPD. Concluslon Uterine receptivity is decreasedin women with LPD, which is closely assosciated with failure of ER、PR downregulation in middle luteal phase.

Mosquito-borne diseases present a significant threat to human health, with the possibility of outbreaks of new mosquito-borne diseases always looming. Unfortunately, current measures to combat these diseases such as vaccines and drugs are often either unavailable or ineffective. However, recent studies on microbiomes may reveal promising strategies to fight these diseases. In this review, we examine recent advances in our understanding of the effects of both the mosquito and vertebrate microbiomes on mosquito-borne diseases. We argue that the mosquito microbiome can have direct and indirect impacts on the transmission of these diseases, with mosquito symbiotic microorganisms, particularly Wolbachia bacteria, showing potential for controlling mosquito-borne diseases. Moreover, the skin microbiome of vertebrates plays a significant role in mosquito preferences, while the gut microbiome has an impact on the progression of mosquito-borne diseases in humans. As researchers continue to explore the role of microbiomes in mosquito-borne diseases, we highlight some promising future directions for this field. Ultimately, a better understanding of the interplay between mosquitoes, their hosts, pathogens, and the microbiomes of mosquitoes and hosts may hold the key to preventing and controlling mosquito-borne diseases.
