Knockdown of XIST promoted the proliferation, differentiation, but limited apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cells. . Mechanically, overexpression of XIST could reverse the bio-function of miR-203-3p transfection. Additionally, miR-203-3p inverted a series of bio-functional effects of ZFPM2. Furthermore, anti-miR-203-3p rescued si-XIST-induced downregulation of ZFPM2. Conclusion Downregulation of lncRNA XIST promoted osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, but limited apoptosis by miR-203-3p/ZFPM2 axis.Objective To investigate the association between intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia via meta-analysis.Methods Pooled odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval (CI) of GDM and preeclampsia for women with ICP were calculated using the fixed- or random-effects model.Results Women with ICP were more likely to have GDM (pooled OR = 2.19, 95% CI 1.58, 3.03, I2 = 88.25%) and preeclampsia (pooled OR = 2.58, 95% CI 2.37, 2.81, I2 = 0%) than women without ICP.Conclusion The present study supports the concept that ICP is associated with the risk of GDM and preeclampsia.Purpose Investigation of the acute effects of cigarette smoking on the eye using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) on young healthy non-smoking male subjects.Materials and methods The right eye of 25 healthy non-smoking male subjects were included in this study. Selected parameters of the macular and circumpapillary vasculature were measured, including macular flow indices, foveal avascular zone, vessel densities of macula and optic disc using OCTA. The measurements of the subjects were performed on the first day without smoking at 0 min, 5 min, 30 min and 60 min. Measurements were repeated at the same regime on the second day after smoking. Paired samples t-test a
