The Significance of Galectin-1 and Galectin-9 Expression in Endometrial Carcinoma.
To explore the expression of Galectin-1 and -9 and clinicopathological features in endometrial carcinoma (EC). ⋯ Both Galectin-1 and -9 were associated with the occurrence of EC and its pathological behavior. High expression of Galectin-1 suggests a poor prognosis, whereas high expression of Galectin-9 was associated with early pathological changes. Galectin-1 and -9 can provide references for early screening and indicate the prognosis of endometrial lesions, which are of great significance for patients' quality of life.

COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Infection in Pregnancy: A Systematic Review.
To review published studies related to the association of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections with pregnancy, foetal, and neonatal outcomes during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in a systematic manner. ⋯ COVID-19 infection in pregnancy leads to increased risk in pregnancy complications such as preterm birth, PPROM, and may possibly lead to maternal death in rare cases. There is no evidence to support vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection to the unborn child. Due to a paucity of inconsistent data regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the newborn, caution should be undertaken to further investigate and monitor possible infection in the neonates born to COVID-19-infected mothers.
