Isolation and Characterization of a New Phage Infecting and Evaluation of Its Therapeutic Efficacy and .

spp. are a group of non-fermentative, Gram-negative, catalase-positive, and non-motile bacilli. They can cause meningitis in neonates and immunosuppressed patients, and lead to high mortality.

Adjunctive ondansetron for schizophrenia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

The serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) receptor has been implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examined the efficacy and safety of adjunctive ondansetron, a potent 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, in the treatment of schizophrenia. Only RCTs examining adjunctive ondansetron for schizophrenia were included.

Value of Two-Dimensional Shear Wave Elastography for Assessing Acute Liver Congestion in a Bama Mini-Pig Model.

Background: To date, liver congestion is one of the most significant clinical diseases. However, few studies have profoundly investigated the development, pathology, and prognosis of the important problems associated with acute hepatic congestion.

Aims: To explore the value of noninvasive two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) for assessing acute liver congestion in an animal model.

Alteration of mevalonate pathway related enzyme expressions in pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and associated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Background: Abnormalities of the mevalonate pathway, an important cellular metabolic pathway, are common in many diseases including cardiovascular disease. The mevalonate pathway related enzyme expressions in pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and associated diastolic dysfunction remains largely unknown. This study aims to investigate whether the expression of mevalonate pathway related enzyme is altered during the progression of cardiac hypertrophy and associated diastolic dysfunction induced by pressure overload.
