Knockdown of SHP-1 dramatically increased the spontaneous contraction of HUSMCs, which was reversed by co-infection of a FAK-knockdown lentivirus. PGF2a downregulated SHP-1 via PLCβ-PKC-NF-kB or PI3K-NF-kB pathways, suggesting the regenerative downregulation of SHP-1 enhances the uterine remodeling and plasticity by activating FAK and subsequent focal adhesion pathway, which eventually facilitates myometrium contraction and leads to labor. The study examined mechanisms that underlie the initiation of labor, and interventions for modulation of SHP-1 may provide a potential strategy for preventing preterm birth.There is still a lack of effective biomarkers for the prediction of the risk of bleeding events among patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) taking dabigatran. This study aimed to investigate the association between change in total bilirubin (CTBIL) and risk of bleeding among patients with NVAF taking dabigatran. The CTBIL was the difference in serum total bilirubin at out of follow-up from baseline serum total bilirubin. A total of 486 patients with NVAF treated with dabigatran (110 mg twice daily) were recruited from 12 centers in China from February 2015 to December 2017. All patients were followed for 3 months. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between the CTBIL and bleeding. Moreover, a Cox proportional hazards regression with cubic spline functions and smooth curve fitting (the penalized spline method) and 2 piecewise Cox proportional hazards models were used to address the nonlinearity between CTBIL and bleeding. The mean (SD) follow-up duration was 81.2 (20.2) days. In all, 67 patients experienced bleeding events. A U-shaped association was observed between the CTBIL and bleeding, with increased hazard ratios (HRs) in relation to either low or high
