Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pregnant and postpartum women regarding stress urinary incontinence by Qin Dong, Shenxian Wan, Ruihua Wang, Sanshan Guo, Hong Shen, Ningjuan Wang, Wenting Cai, Luxi Cai, Wei Zhao

“…Findings revealed median scores: knowledge 20.00 [12.00, 28.00] (range: 0–44), attitudes 21.00 [19.75, 24.00] (range: 8–40), and practices 26.00 [22.00, 31.00] (range: 8–40). Structural equation modeling (SEM) showed knowledge directly influenced attitudes (β = -0.153, p < 0.001), while both knowledge (β = 0.522, p < 0.001) and attitudes (β = -0.128, p = 0.004) significantly impacted practices. …”

Design and evaluation of a multi-epitope DNA vaccine against HPV16 by Lanfang Zhu, Xiangjie Cui, Zhiling Yan, Yufen Tao, Lei Shi, Xinwen Zhang, Yufeng Yao, Li Shi

“…Subsequently, through meticulous selection of T-cell epitopes and other necessary elements, a multi-epitope vaccine was constructed, exhibiting good immunogenic, physicochemical, and structural characteristics. Furthermore, in silico simulations showed that the vaccine not only interacted well with toll-like receptors (TLR2/TLR3/TLR4), but also induced a strong innate and adaptive immune response characterized by elevated Th1-type cytokines, such as interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-2 (IL2). …”
