Twenty years of anastomotic stenosis combined with tracheocolonic fistula after colon replacement esophagectomy: a case report.

Esophageal stricture is the most common and disabling complication of esophageal injury caused by ingestion of corrosive substances. In our case, the patient developed esophageal stenosis due to ingestion of strong alkaline substances and underwent colon replacement surgery after repeated failed dilation treatments. After surgery, anastomotic stenosis and tracheocolonic fistula occurred successively, and the entire diagnosis and treatment cycle of this disease lasted for more than 20 years.

Bacteremia caused by in a patient with acute perforated appendicitis and localized peritonitis: case report and literature review.

() is a Gram-negative bacterium that was initially thought to be non-pathogenic to humans and is abundant in the environment. In recent years, with the availability of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) that enable fast and accurate bacterial identification, there have been increasing number of reports of human infections caused by , indicating that this organism has emerged as human pathogen. In fact, most clinical isolates of are recovered from peritoneal liquid, and bacteremia has been infrequently reported.

Genomic characterization of strain UI705 causing urinary tract infections in China.

Introduction: () is a Gram-negative bacterium initially isolated from in India. has been characterized with low pathogenicity, and no human infections caused by this organism have been reported yet. We report the first case of urinary tract infection caused by in a 73-year-old man after bladder cancer surgery.

Ratiometric Luminescent Thermometer Based on the Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks by Thermal Curing.

The high-performance optical thermometer probes are of great significance in diverse areas; lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) are a promising candidate for luminescence temperature sensing owing to their unique luminescence properties. However, Ln-MOFs have poor maneuverability and stability in complex environments due to the crystallization properties, which then hinder their application scope. In this work, the Tb-MOFs@TGIC composite was successfully prepared using simple covalent crosslinking through uncoordinated -NH or COOH on Tb-MOFs reacting with the epoxy groups on TGIC {Tb-MOFs = [Tb(atpt)(phen)(HO)]; Hatpt = 2-aminoterephthalic acid; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrate}.

Efficacy of levofloxacin on macrolide-unresponsive and corticosteroid-resistant refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children.

Background: This study aimed to summarize the experience in treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) with worsening lung shadow despite treatment with appropriate antimicrobials and corticosteroid in children.

Methods: All patients satisfied refractory MP pneumonia (RMPP) diagnostic criteria were enrolled. The clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, imaging features, treatments, and outcomes were retrospectively reviewed.

IL-33 ameliorates experimental colitis involving regulation of autophagy of macrophages in mice.

Background: Previously, we have demonstrated that IL-33 administration protecting TNBS-induced experimental colitis is associated with facilitation of Th2/Tregs responses in mice. However, whether IL-33 regulates autophagy to ameliorate experimental colitis is unclear.

Results: IL-33 administration (2 μg/day, intraperitoneal injection), while facilitating Th2/Tregs responses, also enhances the autophagy in mice with TNBS-induced colitis as well as macrophages.

Motion-Aware Correlation Filters for Online Visual Tracking.

The discriminative correlation filters-based methods struggle deal with the problem of fast motion and heavy occlusion, the problem can severely degrade the performance of trackers, ultimately leading to tracking failures. In this paper, a novel Motion-Aware Correlation Filters (MACF) framework is proposed for online visual object tracking, where a motion-aware strategy based on joint instantaneous motion estimation Kalman filters is integrated into the Discriminative Correlation Filters (DCFs). The proposed motion-aware strategy is used to predict the possible region and scale of the target in the current frame by utilizing the previous estimated 3D motion information.

HSV infection is associated with gestational hypertension: results from the US National inpatient sample.

The purpose of this study was to determine if there is an association between maternal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection and pre-eclampsia/eclampsia or gestational hypertension. The US Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was searched for women aged 15-44 years who delivered in a hospital between 2005 and 2014. The patients were categorized into those with and without HSV and pre-eclampsia/eclampsia and gestational hypertension were compared between the groups.

HMGB1 exacerbates experimental mouse colitis by enhancing innate lymphoid cells 3 inflammatory responses via promoted IL-23 production.

In inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), as an endogenous inflammatory molecule, can promote inflammatory cytokines secretion by acting on TLR2/4 resulting in tissue damage. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we report a novel role of HMGB1 in controlling the maintenance and function of intestine-resident group-3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) that are important innate effector cells implicated in mucosal homeostasis and IBD pathogenesis.

High-mobility group box 1 accelerates early acute allograft rejection via enhancing IL-17+ γδ T-cell response.

Th17 and γδ T cells are the dominant IL-17-producing cell. We previously reported that high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is critical in inducing IL-17-producing alloreactive T cells during early stage of acute allograft rejection. However, the role of γδ T cells during this process and its implication in HMGB1-mediated allograft rejection are not fully understood.
