The zona pellucida protein piopio regulates the metamorphosis and reproduction in Tribolium castaneum.

The zona pellucida domain protein piopio (Pio) was only reported to mediate the adhesion of the apical epithelial surface and the overlying apical extracellular matrix in Drosophila melanogaster, but the developmental roles of Pio were poorly understood in insects. To address this issue, we comprehensively analyzed the function of Pio in Tribolium castaneum. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that pio exhibited one-to-one orthologous relationship among insects. T. castaneum pio had a 1236-bp ORF and contained eight exons. During development pio was abundantly expressed from larva to adult and lowly expressed at the late stage of embryo and adult, while it had more transcripts in the head, epidermis, and gut but fewer in the fat body of late-stage larvae. Knockdown of pio inhibited the pupation, eclosion, and reproduction of T. castaneum. The expression of vitellogenin 1 (Vg1), Vg2, and Vg receptor (VgR) largely decreased in pio-silenced female adults. Silencing pio increased the 20-hydroxyecdysone titer by upregulating phm and spo expression but decreased the juvenile hormone (JH) titer through downregulating JHAMT3 and promoting JHE, JHEH-r4, and JHDK transcription. These results suggested that Pio might regulate the metamorphosis and reproduction via modulating the ecdysone and JH metabolism in T. castaneum. This study found the novel roles of pio in insect metamorphosis and reproduction, and provided the new insights for analyzing other zona pellucida proteins functions in insects.

Transcriptome analysis indicates the mechanisms of BmNPV resistance in Bombyx mori midgut.

Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) caused serious economic losses in sericulture. Analyzing the molecular mechanism of silkworms (B. mori) resistance to BmNPV is of great significance for the prevention and control of silkworm virus diseases and the biological control of agricultural lepidopteran pests. In order to clarify the defense mechanisms of silkworms against BmNPV, we constructed a near isogenic line BC8 with high resistance to BmNPV through the highly BmNPV-resistant strain NB and the highly BmNPV-susceptible strain 306. In this study, RNA-Seq technique was used to analyze the transcriptome level differences in the midgut of BC8 and 306 following BmNPV infection. A total of 1350 DEGs were identified. Clustering analysis showed that these genes could be divided into 8 clusters with different expression patterns. Functional annotations based on GO and KEGG analysis indicated that they were involved in various metabolism pathways. Finally, 32 BmNPV defense responsive genes were screened. They were involved in metabolism, reactive oxygen species (ROS), signal transduction and immune response, and insect hormones. The further verification shows that HSP70 should participate in resistance responses of anti-BmNPV. These findings have paved the way in further functional characterization of candidate genes and subsequently can be used in breeding of BmNPV resistance dominant silkworms.

Multi-Relational Deep Hashing for Cross-Modal Search.

Deep cross-modal hashing retrieval has recently made significant progress. However, existing methods generally learn hash functions with pairwise or triplet supervisions, which involves learning the relevant information by splicing partial similarity between data pairs; notably, this approach only captures the data similarity locally and incompletely, resulting in sub-optimal retrieval performance. In this paper, we propose a novel Multi-Relational Deep Hashing (MRDH) approach, which can fully bridge the modality gap by comprehensively modeling the similarity relationship between data in different modalities. In more detail, to investigate the inter-modal relationships, we constrain the consistency of cross-modal pairwise similarities to maintain the semantic similarity across modalities. Moreover, to further capture complete similarity information, we design a new similarity metric, which we term cross-modal global similarity, by encouraging hash codes of similar data pairs from different modalities to approach a common center and hash codes for dissimilar pairs to converge to different centers. Adopting this approach enables our model to generate more discriminative hash codes. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method on cross-modal hashing retrieval.

Mechanofluorochromic behaviors and data security protection properties of salicylaldimine-based difluoroboron complexes with different aryl substituents.

To further explore the relationship between aryl substituents and mechanofluorochromic (MFC) behaviors, four salicylaldimine-based difluoroboron complexes (ts-Ph BF2, ts-Ph-NA BF2, ts-2NA BF2, and ts-triphenylamine [TPA] BF2), including aromatic substituents with different steric hindrance effects, were designed and successfully synthesized. Four complexes with twisted molecular conformation displayed intramolecular charge transfer and aggregation-induced emission properties. Under external mechanical stimuli, the as-synthesized powders of ts-Ph BF2, ts-Ph-NA BF2, and ts-TPA BF2 exhibited redshift fluorescence emission behaviors, and ts-Ph BF2 and ts-TPA BF2 could be recovered to original shifts by fuming, but ts-Ph-NA BF2 displayed irreversible switching. ts-2NA BF2 had no change during the grinding and fuming processes. The results indicated that the MFC behaviors could be attributed to the phase transformation between the well-defined crystalline and disordered amorphous states by X-ray diffraction measurement. Further research illustrated that ts-TPA BF2 with the most significant MFC phenomenon could be applied in data security protection in ink-free rewritable paper.

Arpc2 integrates ecdysone and juvenile hormone metabolism to influence metamorphosis and reproduction in Tribolium castaneum.

BACKGROUND: Actin-related protein 2/3 complex regulates actin polymerization and the formation of branched actin networks. However, the function and evolutionary relationship of this complex subunit 2 (Arpc2) has been poorly understood in insects. RESULTS: To address these issues, we performed comprehensive analysis of Arpc2 in Tribolium castaneum. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Arpc2 was originated from one ancestral gene in animals but evolved independently between vertebrates and insects after species differentiation. T. castaneum Arpc2 has a 906-bp coding sequence and consists of 4 exons. Arpc2 transcripts were abundantly detected in embryos and pupae but less so in larvae and adults, while it had high expression in the gut, fat body and head but low expression in the epidermis of late-stage larvae. Knockdown of it at the late larval stage inhibited the pupation and resulted in arrested larvae. Silencing it in 1-day pupae impaired eclosion, which caused adult wings to fail to close. Injection of Arpc2 dsRNAs into 5-day pupae made adults have smaller testis and ovary and could not lay eggs. The expression of vitellogenin 1 (Vg1), Vg2 and Vg receptor (VgR) was downregulated after knocking down Arpc2 5 days post-adult emergence. Arpc2 silencing reduced 20-hydroxyecdysone titer by affecting the enzymes of its biosynthesis and catabolism but increased juvenile biosynthesis via upregulating JHAMT3 expression. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that Arpc2 is associated with the metamorphosis and reproduction by integrating ecdysone and juvenile hormone metabolism in T. castaneum. This study provides theoretical basis for developing Arpc2 as a potential RNA interference target for pest control. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Discovery, classification and application of the CPISPR-Cas13 system.

BACKGROUND: The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas system is an acquired immune system of bacteria and archaea. Continued research has resulted in the identification of other Cas13 proteins. OBJECTIVE: This review briefly describes the discovery, classification, and application of the CRISPR-Cas13 system, including recent technological advances in addition to factors affecting system performance. METHODS: Cas13-based molecular therapy of human, animal, and plant transcriptomes was discussed, including regulation of gene expression to combat pathogenic RNA viruses. In addition, the latest progress, potential shortcomings, and challenges of the CRISPR-Cas system for treatment of animal and plant diseases are reviewed. RESULTS: The CRISPR-Cas system VI is characterized by two RNA-guided higher eukaryotes and prokaryotes nucleotide-binding domains. CRISPR RNA can cleave specific RNA through the interaction between the stem-loop rich chain of uracil residues and the Cas13a protein. The CRISPR-Cas13 system has been applied for gene editing in animal and plant cells, in addition to biological detection via accurate targeting of single-stranded RNA. CONCLUSION: The CRISPR-Cas13 system offers a high-throughput and convenient technology for detection of viruses and potentially the development of anti-cancer drugs in the near future.

Effect of sitagliptin combined with Yiqi yangyin huoxue decoction on clinical efficacy and hemorheology in early diabetic nephropathy.

BACKGROUND: Early diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a complication of diabetes mellitus. It mainly affects kidney microvessels and glomerular function, and its timely and effective treatment is critical for early DN. However, the effects of treatments comprising simple Western medicine are not optimal. With the promotion and implementation of integrated Chinese and western medicine treatments, remarkable results have been achieved for many diseases. To this end, we explored the clinical efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicines for the treatment of early DN. AIM: To investigate the effect of sitagliptin tablets combined with Yiqi yangyin huoxue decoction on clinical efficacy and hemorheology in patients with early DN. METHODS: Through a retrospective analysis, 123 patients with early DN were admitted to the endocrinology clinic of the Changzhou NO. 7 People's Hospital from January 2021 to October 2022 and were selected as study subjects. After rigorous screening, 100 patients with early DN were enrolled. The control group (CG, n = 50) and the observation group (OG, n = 50) were divided according to the treatment method. The CG were treated with sitagliptin, and the OG were treated with sitagliptin plus the Yiqi yangyin huoxue decoction. Both groups were treated for 3 mo. For both groups, the baseline data and clinical efficacy were compared, and changes in blood glucose levels, lipid levels, renal function, and hematological indicators before (T0) and after (T1) treatment were assessed. RESULTS: The total effective rate for the OG was 94.00% and that of the CG was 80.00% (P < 0.05). After treatment (T1), the levels of fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial glucose, total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in OG patients were obviously lower than those in the CG (P < 0.05), and cystatin C, homocysteine, urinary microalbumin, and blood creatinine values in OG patients were also obviously lower than those in the CG (P < 0.05); erythrocyte deposition, plasma viscosity, whole blood high shear viscosity, and whole blood low shear viscosity were markedly lower in OG patients than in the CG (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Sitagliptin combined with Yiqi yangyin huoxue decoction has a remarkable effect when used to treat patients with early DN. Further, it is helpful in improving hemorheological indices and controlling disease progression.

Insect transient receptor potential vanilloid channels as potential targets of insecticides.

Chordotonal organs are miniature sensory organs present in insects. Chordotonal organs depend on transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. Transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channels are the only TRPs identified that can act as targets of insecticides. By binding with TRPV channels, insecticides targeting the chordotonal organs trigger the inflow of calcium ions, resulting in abnormal function of the chordotonal organ to achieve the goal of eliminating pests. TRPV channels are highly expressed in various developmental stages and tissue parts of insects and play an important role in the whole life history of insects. In this review, we will discuss the structure and types of TRPV channels as well as their genetic relationships in different species. We also systematically reviewed the recent progress of TRPV channels as insecticide targets, demonstrating that TRPV channels can be used as the target of new high-efficiency insecticides.

Targeted heart repair by Tß4-loaded cardiac-resident macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles modified with monocyte membranes.

Recent studies have demonstrated the critical role of cardiac-resident macrophages (cMacs) in the maintenance of physiological homeostasis. However, recruitment of circulating monocyte-derived macrophages decreases cMac levels post-myocardial infarction (MI). Transplanting cMacs is not an ideal option due to their low survival rates and the risk of immunological rejection. However, extracellular vesicle therapy has the potential to provide a feasible and safe alternative for cardiac repair. In this study, cell membrane-modified extracellular vesicles (MmEVs) were developed for heart repair by modifying cMac-derived extracellular vesicles (mEVs) with monocyte membranes, resulting in immune evasion and sequential targeted localization to damaged regions through expression of CD47 on MmEVs and strong affinity between monocyte membrane proteins and CCL2. Additionally, to fully exploit the potential clinical application of MmEVs and achieve a better curative effect, thymosin ß4 (Tß4) was loaded into the nanoparticles, resulting in Tß4-MmEVs. In vitro experiments indicated that both the MmEVs and Tß4-MmEVs promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation and endothelial cell migration. Animal experiments suggested that MI mice treated with MmEVs and Tß4-MmEVs exhibited reduced myocardial fibrosis and increased vascular density compared to the control group. Thus, we posit that these targeted nanoparticles hold significant potential for MI adjuvant therapy and may open new avenues for cardiac repair and regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from bioactive parent cell sources involved in pathological and repair processes for cardiovascular disease have emerged as a compelling strategy for regenerative therapy. In this study, we constructed monocyte membrane-modified extracellular vesicles loaded with a drug (Tß4-MmEVs) for heart repair that exhibit extraordinary abilities of immune evasion and sequential localization to damaged regions owing to the presence of CD47 and the strong affinity between monocytes and damaged cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells. The bioactivities of Tß4-MmEVs on enhancing cardiomyocyte and endothelial cell proliferation were validated both in vitro and in vivo. Effective development and implementation of therapeutically membrane-modified nanoparticles from homologous origins can provide a reference for adjuvant therapy in clinical MI management.

4-1BB Targeting Immunotherapy: Mechanism, Antibodies, and Chimeric Antigen Receptor T.

4-1BB (CD137, TNFRSF9) is a type I transmembrane protein which binds its natural ligand, 4-1BBL. This interaction has been exploited to improve cancer immunotherapy. With ligand binding by 4-1BB, the nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway is activated, which results in transcription of corresponding genes such as interleukin-2 and interferon-γ, as well as the induction of T cell proliferation and antiapoptotic signals. Moreover, monoclonal antibodies that target-4-1BB, for example, Urelumab and Utomilumab, are widely used in the treatments of B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, and other solid tumors. Furthermore, 4-1BB as a costimulatory domain, for chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells, improves T cell proliferation and survival as well as reduces T cell exhaustion. As such, a deeper understanding of 4-1BB will contribute to improvements in cancer immunotherapy. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of current 4-1BB studies, with a focus on the use of targeting-4-1BB antibodies and 4-1BB activation domains in CAR-T cells for the treatment of cancer.

Mechanofluorochromic behaviours of functionalized carbazole-based difluoroboron compounds with different aryl substituents moieties.

To better understand the relationship between molecular structure and mechanofluorochromic characteristics, three carbazole-based N^O-chelated difluoroboron compounds (Cz-S-BF2 , Cz-PhNp-S-BF2 , and Cz-BNp-S-BF2 ) with different aryl substituents moieties were designed and synthesized. The mechanofluorochromic behaviours of Cz-S-BF2 (luminescence from bluish-green to yellowish-green, emission from 504 to 535 nm) without aryl substitution and Cz-PhNp-S-BF2 (luminescence from green and yellow, emission from 521 to 557 nm) with a phenyl-naphthalene group underwent reversible conversion using the grinding-fuming process. For Cz-BNp-S-BF2 this was not apparent due to the well coplanarity of the binaphthalene moiety. Mechanofluorochromic properties were demonstrated through XRD patterns measurement. We envisage that this study will provide a practicable reference to acquire organic molecules with mechanofluorochromic characteristics.

Interferon-γ release assay and mantoux response in infants with tuberculous meningitis in low and intermediate burden countries.

AIM: Until now, the performance of interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) and Mantoux tests remains unclear in infant tuberculous meningitis (TBM). Therefore, a systematic review is performed to evaluate the sensitivity of IGRA and Mantoux tests for the diagnosis of infant TBM in low and intermediate tuberculosis (TB) burden countries, while following PRISMA. METHODS: Several databases, including PubMed, EBSCO, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, were searched. Articles describing the results of IGRA or Mantoux tests among infant TBM were included for analysis. Data, such as age, sex, Mantoux test or IGRA, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microbiological examinations (such as acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear, TB PCR, and TB culture), were extracted from each study. RESULTS: A total of 31 articles were enrolled for further analysis, including 48 cases. The mean age was 9.4 ± 5.8 months and boys accounted for 57.1% of infants (24/42). Mantoux test was positive in 57.4% (27/47) of tested infants and IGRA was positive in 77.8% (7/9) of infants. In addition, among the infants with confirmed TB, 18 (52.9%, 18/34) of them have positive Mantoux responses and 7 (20.0%, 7/35) have positive IGRA results. CONCLUSIONS: In low or intermediate TB burden countries, the Mantoux test has a poor performance for diagnosing TBM among infants, and IGRAs appear to have a moderate sensitivity for the diagnosis of infant TBM.

Research progress on nucleic acid detection and genome editing of CRISPR/Cas12 system.

PURPOSE: This work characterizes the applications of CRISPR/Cas12 system, including nucleic acid detection, animal, plant and microbial genome editing. METHODS: The literature on CRISPR/Cas12 system was collected and reviewed. RESULTS: CRISPR/Cas system is an acquired immune system derived from bacteria and archaea, which has become the most popular technology around the world because of its outstanding contribution in genome editing. Type V CRISPR/Cas systems are distinguished by a single RNA-guided RuvC nuclease domain with single effector molecule. Cas12a, the first reported type V CRISPR/Cas system, targets double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) adjacent to PAM sequences and trans-cleaves single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). We present the applications of CRISPR/Cas12 system for nucleic acid detection and genome editing in animals, plants and microorganisms. Furthermore, this review also summarizes the applications of other Cas12 proteins, such as Cas12b, Cas12c, Cas12d, and so on, which further widen the application prospects of CRISPR/Cas12 system. CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge of the applications of CRISPR/Cas12 system is necessary for improving the understanding of the functional diversity of CRISPR/Cas12 system and also provides significant references for further research and utilization of CRISPR/Cas12 in other new fields.

Ribavirin extends the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans through AMPK-TOR Signaling.

Aging is a process accompanied by widespread degenerative changes which are a major cause of human disease and disability. One goal of aging research is to develop interventions or drugs that can extend organism lifespan and treat age-related diseases. Here, we report the identification of a broad spectrum anti-viral agent, ribavirin, as a potential pharmacological aging intervention. Ribavirin extended the lifespan and healthspan of Caenorhabditis elegans by inhibiting Target of Rapamycin (TOR) signaling and activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Moreover, our data indicate that ribavirin activated AMPK by reducing the levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and lysosomal v-ATPase-Ragulator-AXIN Complex. Thus, our studies successfully identify ribavirin as a potential anti-aging drug, and indicate that its anti-aging effect is mediated via AMPK-TOR signaling.

Relationship Between Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Serum Uric Acid in Patients With Untreated Essential Hypertension in China: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Several studies have reported that the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is associated with serum uric acid (SUA) in healthy middle-aged men, kidney transplant patients, and diabetic patients. We assessed the relationship between AIP and SUA in patients with untreated essential hypertension (EH) in China. In the cross-sectional study, we evaluated 5003 patients with untreated EH in China; 1490 were assigned to the hyperuricemia (HUA) group and 3513 to the normouricemia (non-HUA) group according to the diagnostic criteria of HUA (SUA level≥6 mg/dL in females and ≥7 mg/dL in males). A higher AIP level was found in the HUA group (P < .001), and AIP was positively and independently correlated with SUA after adjusting for statistically significant variables (ß = .204, P < .001). Moreover, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the AIP was closely and independently related to HUA after adjusting for confounders (odds ratio [OR]: 11.980, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.186-45.047, P < .001). Our findings suggested that the AIP was positively and independently associated with SUA, and elevated AIP might be a significant risk factor for HUA in patients with untreated EH in China.

Value of blood gas analysis and immunological indicators in early diagnosis and treatment monitoring of children with severe pneumonia and sepsis.

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to investigate the clinical value of blood gas analysis and related immunological indicators in the early diagnosis and treatment monitoring of children with severe pneumonia and sepsis. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on children with pneumonia and sepsis and healthy children undergoing physical examination in the First People's Hospital of Fuyang Hangzhou from January 2020 to December 2020. A total of 31 children with pneumonia and sepsis (observation group) and 31 healthy children (control group) were included. The levels of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), pH, immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin M (IgM), immunoglobulin G (IgG), complement 3 (C3) and complement 4 (C4) were compared between the two groups. The changes of blood gas analysis indices and immune indices in the observation group before treatment (T0), as well as after 1 month (T1), 2 months (T2) and 3 months (T3) of treatment were dynamically analyzed. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the level of PaCO2 was significantly increased, and the levels of PaO2, pH, IgA, IgM, IgG, C3 and C4 were significantly decreased in the observation group, showing statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). With the progress of treatment, the levels of PaO2, PH, IgA, IgM, IgG, C3 and C4 showed a slowly increasing trend, while PaCO2 gradually decreased, and the differences between T3 and T0 were statistically significant (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that PaCO2, PaO2, PH, IgA, IgM, IgG, C3 and C4 had good diagnostic value for severe pneumonia combined with sepsis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Blood gas analysis and immune indices exhibited high precision in early diagnosis and treatment monitoring of children with severe pneumonia and sepsis.

Connexin 37 Regulates the Kv1.3 Pathway and Promotes the Development of Atherosclerosis.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of Connexin 37 (Cx37) and Kv1.3 pathways in atherosclerosis (AS). Methods: ApoE-/- mice were given a high-fat diet to establish atherosclerosis (AS) model, and macrophages in mice were isolated and extracted to transfect Cx37 vectors with silencing or overexpressing, and Kv1.3 pathway blockers were used to inhibit the pathway activity. The indexes of body weight, blood glucose, and blood lipid of mice were collected. The protein and mRNA expression levels of Cx37 and Kv1.3 were detected by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), Western blot, and immunofluorescence technique. Oil red O staining was used to observe plaque area. Masson staining was used to detect collagen content. The concentrations of chemokine CCL7 were quantified using the ELISA kits. CCK8 was used to detect cell proliferation. Results: Cx37 and Kv1.3 were highly expressed in macrophages of AS mice, and the expression of Kv1.3 and CCL7 decreased after Cx37 was silenced, and the proliferation of macrophages was also decreased. Wild-type mice and AS model mice were treated with Cx37 overexpression vectors and Kv1.3 pathway blocking, and it was found that Cx37 overexpression could improve the blood lipid and blood glucose levels and increase the area of AS in AS mice. However, blocking the activity of Kv1.3 pathway can reduce the levels of blood lipid and blood glucose, increase the body weight of mice, and reduce the area of AS mice. Blocking the activity of Kv1.3 pathway can slow down the plaque development of AS mice and make its indexes close to wild-type mice. And the use of Kv1.3 pathway blockers on the basis of overexpression of Cx37 indicated that inhibition of Kv1.3 pathway activity did not affect the expression of Cx37, but could inhibit the collagen content in the plaque area of AS mice, inhibit the expression of chemokine CCL7, and reverse the effect of Cx37 overexpression. Conclusion: Cx37 can improve the activity of macrophages by regulating the expression of chemokines and the activity of Kv1.3 pathway in AS mice, and enrich macrophages in inflammatory tissues and expand the area of plaque formation.

Assessment of Risk Factors Associated with Severe Endometriosis and Establishment of Preoperative Prediction Model.

Approximately 10% (176 million) of women of reproductive age worldwide suffer from endometriosis, which has a high rate of postoperative recurrence. The objective of this study was to investigate the risk factors of severe endometriosis and establish a preoperative prediction model. A retrospective analysis of a database established between January 2020 and March 2022 including 491 women with a pathology-based endometriosis diagnosis was conducted. Subjects were divided into two groups: the non-severe group (ASRM ≤ 40) and the severe group (ASRM > 40). Age ≥ 40 years, bilateral lesions, pelvic nodules, adenomyosis, APTT, CA125 ≥ 34.5 U/mL, D-dimer ≥ 0.34 mg/L, and maximum cyst diameter ≥ 58 mm were independent correlation factors for severe endometriosis. The logistic regression equation for these factors showed good diagnostic efficiency (AUC = 0.846), which was similar to the model with intraoperative indicators (AUC = 0.865). Patients with severe endometriosis also had a shorter APTT and higher D-dimer and PLT, indicating hypercoagulability. In conclusion, we constructed a simple and feasible formula involving parameters that are preoperatively accessible to predict the severity of endometriosis. This study is of reference value for determining the timing of and alternatives to surgery. At the same time, attention should be paid to the primary prevention of venous thrombosis and cardiovascular metabolic diseases in patients with severe endometriosis.
