Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis accompanied by many systemic physiological and biochemical changes. Elucidating its molecular mechanisms is crucial for diagnosing and developing effective treatments. NLR Family CARD Domain Containing 4 (NLRC4) encodes the key components of inflammasomes that function as pattern recognition receptors.

- - The study investigated the gut microbiota of 92 preterm infants in a NICU setting in China, noting how factors like birth conditions and feeding methods affect gut diversity, which is crucial for brain and immune system development.
- - Fecal samples were collected multiple times over the first 60 days of life and analyzed; key findings showed that the most abundant gut bacteria were from phyla such as Proteobacteria and Firmicutes, with notable changes throughout the feeding periods.
- - Results indicated that formula-fed infants had higher levels of certain gut bacteria, particularly Proteobacteria and Streptococcus, compared to breast-fed infants, highlighting the influence of diet on the gut microbiome in preterm infants.
Unlabelled: It has been found that intestinal fungi play a role in the composition of the intestinal microecology and in the formation and development of the immunity during childhood. We investigated the gut fungi composition of preterm infants to analysis composition and dynamics of intestinal fungi during the postnatal 2 months of very low birth weight infants. We collected feces from 34 very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) and 28 preterm infants with birth weight >1500 g.

First, AuNS was prepared by a seed-mediated method in a HEPES buffer. AuNS shows two different LSPR absorbance bands at 736 nm and 550 nm, respectively.
