To assess the new GenoType® MTBDRplus assay for rapid detection of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in comparison with DNA sequencing to identify drug resistance mutation profiles China.Using MTBDRplus, susceptibility testing (DST) and sequencing, 237 Mycobacterium strains were tested.The sensitivity was 75.0% (126/168) isoniazid (INH) resistant strains, 93.5% (157/168) rifampicin (RMP) strains. It correlated well 94.9% 99.6% agreement each strain category 100% specificity all...
Olivocochlear neurons make temporary cholinergic synapses on inner hair cells of the rodent cochlea in first 2 to 3 wk after birth. Repetitive stimulation these efferent causes facilitation evoked release and increased spontaneous that continues for seconds minutes. Presynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are known modulate neurotransmitter from brain neurons. The present study explores hypothesis presynaptic nAChRs help increase terminals cochlear cells. Direct application...
