Coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 is an emerging viral caused by a member of the betacoronavirus family, SARS-CoV-2. Since its' emergence in December 2019, it has rapidly close to half million fatalities globally. Data regarding impact on pregnancy are limited. Here, we review pathological findings placentas from women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 as well information outcomes associated with related and highly pathogenic coronaviruses (ie, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-COV) Middle East syndrome, MERS). We present immune-inflammatory correlates role Renin Angiotensin System pathogenesis pregnancy. Greater understanding placenta will yield important insight into potential therapeutic interventions pregnant COVID-19.

The antimicrobial properties of copper ions can reduce the overgrowth microorganisms to a certain extent. That reduces amount antibiotics used, avoid superbugs and potential harm. authors reviewed mechanisms copper‐containing nanoparticles (NPs), focusing on factors influencing their properties. They concluded that were better in environments conducive precipitation exposure microorganisms. Comparing with other metal leads question why is such an important ion. In recent years, development science technology understanding microscopic world, scientists have skillfully applied various settings, from direct contact food breeding hygienic environments, confirmed safety application. However, because toxic effect NPs, future goal synthesize NP good biocompatibility antibacterial efficiency benefit human society.

Prenatal exposure to metals has been associated with impaired neurodevelopment in children, but the detailed molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Based on Wuhan Healthy Baby Cohort, China (N = 1088), eleven were measured maternal urine during early pregnancy (13.1 ± 1.1 weeks) and metabolomics profiling was conducted cord blood. Neurodevelopment evaluated using Bayley Scales of Infant Development 2-year-old children obtain mental development index (MDI) psychomotor (PDI). After false discovery rate correction, higher urinary levels manganese, nickel, aluminum, rubidium, gallium, summary score only significantly lower MDI scores. The weighted quantile sum metal mixture showed a significant inverse association PDI scores, aluminum contributing most associations. Histidine, beta-alanine, purine, pyrimidine metabolism mediated above associations, suggesting that disturbances amino acids, neurotransmitter neuroendocrine may be important mediators children. linked underlying are unclear. Here, authors show neurotransmitters, mediate association.

Viral infections during pregnancy can have devastating consequences on outcomes, fetal development, and maternal health. In this review, we examine immune defense mechanisms that mediate resistance against viral discuss the range of syndromes ensue when such fail, from developmental defects to establishment chronic infection. Further, highlight role activation, or uncontrolled inflammation triggered by pregnancy, its potential downstream pathological effects, including tissue damage demise. Insights into respective contributions direct toxicity versus responses underlie pathogenesis congenital disease will guide future treatment strategies.
