The antioxidant response element (ARE) is a critical regulatory for the expression of many phase II drug metabolizing enzymes (DME), III transporters and enzymes, mediated by transcription factor Nrf2. aim this study was to examine potential activation synergism Nrf2-ARE-mediated transcriptional activity between four common phytochemicals present in cruciferous vegetables; indoles: indole-3-carbinol (I3C), 3,3′-diindolylmethane (DIM); isothiocyanates (ITCs): phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC)...
Abstract Background Cancer patients have a 2.4-fold higher risk of dying from pneumonia compared to the general population. Streptococcus pneumoniae is one most common etiologies community-acquired pneumonia. Serotype specific information nonbacteremic pneumococcal in oncology settings limited. Thus, we described frequency S. serotypes detected by serotype-specific urinary antigen (SSUAD) assay cancer patients.Table 1.Clinical characteristics adult tested with SSUAD Methods This was an...
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome harbors an unusually high number of toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems. These TA systems have been implicated in establishing the nonreplicating persistent state this pathogen during latent infection. More than half M. belong to VapBC (virulence associated protein) family. In work, we first identified RNA targets for VapC-mt11 (VapC11, Rv1561) toxin vitro learn more about general function family toxins. Recombinant cleaved 15 45 tRNAs at a single site within...
Abstract Identification of pathogens with pulmonary presentation in patients hematologic malignancies may be challenging because diagnostic difficulty related to the underlying malignancy and limitations conventional microbiologic methods. Herein, we present a case series 3 consolidations due Legionella bozemanae necrotizing pneumonia, Pneumocystis jirovecii disseminated Scedosporium infection, who were diagnosed by microbial cell-free DNA next-generation sequencing. We observed that this...
Initial workup [e.g., identification (ID) and/or antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST)] of bacterial growth on solid media traditionally occurs 16-24 h after sub-culturing positive blood cultures (BC). Early ID and AST can be facilitated by reviewing digital images captured using a Microbiology Laboratory Automation (MLA) system. The goal this study was to evaluate the utility at 4 WASPLab MLA system for rapid AST. Retrospective review all BCs results between 1 January 2021 31 July 2022...
Abstract Background Cancer patients with pneumonia (PNA) have 2 to 21 times higher mortality rate compared the general population. The Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) and CURB-65 scale been used predict for community acquired (CAP). While these scales are well studied in population, there is a paucity of research on utility PSI predicting outcomes from CAP cancer. In this study, we assessed relationship between score 30-day cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Center (MSKCC). Methods A...
