Abstract
Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have serious impacts on human health, which could interfere with the body's signal pathways and affect the normal hormone balance of humans. PFCs were reported to bind to many proteins causing a series of biological effects. It was quite possible that the in vivo action of PFCs was not a single target or a single pathway, suggesting the toxic effect was due to the disturbance of protein or gene network, not limited to the modification of a single target protein or gene. Thus, a PFCs-targets interaction network was constructed and the significant differences in the characteristics of complex networks between the branched PFCs and linear PFCs were observed. A molecular dynamics simulation proved that binding ability of the branched PFCs to the target protein was much weaker than that of the linear PFCs, explaining why the branched PFCs presented significantly difference from the linear PFCs in terms of complex network characteristics. In addition, four target genes were identified as the central node genes of the network. The four target genes were proved to present certain influences on some diseases, which suggested a high correlation between PFCs to these diseases, including obesity, hepatocellular carcinoma and diabetes. The present work was helpful to develop new approaches to identify the key toxic targets of compounds and to explore the toxicity effects on pathways.

Abstract
Abnormal synthesis and metabolism of sex steroids is involved in the pathogenesis of various human diseases, such as endometriosis and cancers arising from the breast and uterus. Steroid biosynthesis is a multistep enzymatic process proceeding from cholesterol to highly active sex steroids via different intermediates. Human Hydroxysteroid (17beta) dehydrogenase 1 (HSD17B1) enzyme shows a high capacity to produce the highly active estrogen, estradiol, from a precursor hormone, estrone. However, the enzyme may also play a role in other steps of the steroid biosynthesis pathway. In this article, we have reviewed the literature on HSD17B1, and summarize the role of the enzyme in hormone-dependent diseases in women as evidenced by preclinical studies.

Abstract
Hydroxysteroid (17-beta)dehydrogenase 1(HSD17B1) plays a central role in sex steroid hormone metabolism. HSD17B1 polymorphic variants may contribute to cancer susceptibility. Numerous investigations have been conducted to assess the association between HSD17B1 Ser312Gly polymorphism and cancer risk in multiple ethnicities, yet these have produced inconsistent results. We therefore performed this comprehensive meta-analysis to attempt to provide a quality assessment of the association of interest. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the strength of associations. After a systematic literature search of several major public databases, 20 studies involving 29,460 cases and 36,687 controls were included in this meta-analysis. No significant association was found between HSD17B1 Ser312Gly polymorphism and cancer risk. However, Ser312Gly polymorphism showed a significantly decreased risk for Caucasians (there were 44,284 Caucasians for analysis, comprising 19,889 cases and 24,395 controls) in the subgroup analysis by ethnicity (dominant: OR = 0.958, 95% CI = 0.919–0.998; and allele comparing: OR = 0.973, 95% CI = 0.947–0.999). And there was the same trend towards risk in the population-based (PB) controls (homozygous: OR = 0.951, 95% CI = 0.908–0.997 and allele comparing: OR = 0.976, 95% CI = 0.954–0.999), but not among Asians or hospital-based (HB) controls. In addition, no association was observed in the stratified analysis for breast cancer studies by source of control, ethnicity and quality score. These findings suggested that the HSD17B1 Ser312Gly polymorphism might confer genetic cancer susceptibility in an ethnic-dependent manner, especially among Caucasians. Well-designed, large-scale studies are warranted to validate these findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the missense rs605059 polymorphism of HSD17B1 gene, which is expressed mainly in the placenta, is associated with recurrent spontaneous abortions (RSA). METHODS This study group consisted of 138 women with three or more unexplained spontaneous abortions, before the 20th week of gestation, with the same partner, while 140 healthy women served as controls. To genotype the individuals, we used the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. RESULTS The genotyping of the rs605059 polymorphism revealed the frequencies 0.22, 0.45 and 0.33, for AA, GA and GG genotypes, respectively, for the patient group and 0.37, 0.41 and 0.22, respectively, for the control group. The A allele frequencies were 0.44 and 0.57 for the patient and control group, respectively, and the G allele frequencies were 0.56 and 0.43 for the patient and control group, respectively. Statistical analysis of the results indicated the existence of significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies between the two groups. CONCLUSION The rs605059 polymorphism of the HSD17B1 gene is associated with increased risk of RSA in our Caucasian Greek population. Thus it could be used as a prognostic genetic marker for RSA.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to determine whether a polymorphism of the HSD17β1 gene (rs605059), involved in estrogen synthesis, is associated with endometriosis in Brazilian patients. Methods A case-control study was conducted in 231 women. All patients in the case group had a histopathological diagnosis of endometriosis. Genomic DNA was genotyped by nested-PCR, followed by digestion of the PCR product with the enzyme BstUI. Results The frequencies of the genotypes detected in the case and control groups were 22.4% GG, 52.2% AG and 25.4% AA; and 31.3% GG, 49.3% AG and 19.4% AA, respectively, with no significant difference between groups. The prevalence of the G allele was 48.5% and 56% in the case and control groups, respectively. No significant difference in genotype or allele frequency was detected between the different stages of endometriosis (p>0.05). Conclusions The results suggested that the Ser312Gly polymorphism of the HSD17β1 gene is not associated with endometriosis in Brazilian patients.

Abstract
The Val158Met polymorphism of the COMT gene has been implicated in susceptibility to uterine leiomyoma (ULM), but the reported results were inconclusive. The aim of the study was to evaluate the Val158Met polymorphism of the COMT gene and the risk of ULM by meta-analysis. A comprehensive electronic search for relevant articles was conducted in Pubmed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang, and Weipu databases. Statistical analysis was performed by using the Revman4.2 software and Stata10.0 software. A total of 7 articles including 12 case-control studies were identified in this meta-analysis. The results showed that the polymorphism was associated with decreased risk of ULM (Met/Met+Val/Met vs. Met/Met: OR=0.84, 95% CI=0.70-0.99, Z=2.07, p=0.04). In the subgroup analyses by ethnicity, significant decreased risk was found among the black populations (OR=0.68, 95% CI=0.48-0.97, Z=2.15, p=0.03). The current meta-analysis suggested that the Val158Met polymorphism in the COMT gene was associated with decreased risk of ULM, especially in the black population. Future studies are needed to validate our conclusions.

Abstract
The clinical and scientific literature overwhelmingly deals with fibroids as a single entity or disease. This convenient assumption of homogeneity may be an important oversight given that substantial evidence exists for heterogeneity between fibroids at many levels. Failure to recognize and accommodate fibroid heterogeneity can have significant ramifications for both clinical treatment decisions and research protocol design. The aim of this article is to review the current knowledge of fibroid heterogeneity and to identify key areas where fibroid heterogeneity should be taken into consideration both clinically and when designing research protocols. Uterine leiomyomata display significant and well-documented heterogeneity in symptoms, diagnostic imaging appearance, pathology, genetic background and therapeutic requirements. Additional research is needed to better understand fibroid heterogeneity as it relates to pathogenesis, molecular targets for potential new therapies, patient symptoms and, ultimately, treatment. To this list should also be added heterogeneity of genetics, lifestyle and individual clinical characteristics of the fibroid. Increasingly, an understanding of uterine leiomyoma heterogeneity will be of importance for clinicians who see patients with this common and costly disease.
