Effect of Vitamin D Level on Female Vaginitis in Xi'an, China.

Background: Vaginitis is a common disease of the reproductive system in women, causing discomfort in daily life. Many reports indicate that the causes of vaginitis are related to vaginal microecological disturbances. Therefore, treatment strategies to restore microecological balance have shown promising results in both basic research and clinical settings.

Whole genome analysis reveals new insights into the molecular characteristics of NAP1/BI/027/ST1 clinical isolates in the People's Republic of China.

The epidemic new strain NAP1/BI/027/ST-1 of () causes more severe coliti and a higher mortality rate than historical strains. However, NAP1/BI/027/ST-1 ( RT027) infections have been rarely reported in Asia, particularly in China. The objective of this study was to strengthen the understanding of the molecular characterizations of RT027 in China.

Ureaplasma urealyticum-derived lipid-associated membrane proteins introduce IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α cytokines into human amniotic epithelial cells via Toll-like receptor 2.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of Ureaplasma urealyticum-derived lipid-associated membrane proteins (LAMPs) in the host innate immune system, specifically their effect on Toll-like receptors (TLRs).

Methods: LAMPs were derived from U. urealyticum strains, and human amniotic epithelial cells (HAECs) were isolated from healthy full-term placentas.

Simultaneous determination of eight components in Angelica sinensis based on UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS method for quality evaluation.

A method employing ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) for determination of eight components including ferulic acid, senkyunolide A, butylphthalide, ligustilide, butylidenephalide, senkyunolide I, senkyunolide H and levistolide A in Angelica sinensis was established. The separation was carried out using a Waters ACQUITY UHPLC BEH C column with gradient elution with 0.1% formic acid aqueous and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 0.

In vitro activities of tedizolid compared with other antibiotics against Gram-positive pathogens associated with hospital-acquired pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infection and bloodstream infection collected from 26 hospitals in China.

To evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activities of tedizolid, linezolid and other comparators against clinically significant Gram-positive cocci isolates from hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) and bloodstream infection (BSI), 2140 nonduplicate isolates (23.7 % isolated from HAP, 46.8 % from SSTI and 29.

[The role of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of HBV-infected mothers in the intrauterine infection of their fetuses].

Objective: To study the role of the HBV-infected mothers' PBMC in intrauterine transmission of HBV to their fetuses.

Methods: Thirty pregnant women with serum HBV DNA negative and PBMC HBV DNA positive and their newborns were used as the study group. Ten pregnant women with serum HBV negative and their infants served as the control group.

[Study on intrauterine infection of hepatitis B virus in pregnant women with hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B e antigen negative].

Objective: To explore the significance of intrauterine infection of hepatitis B virus in pregnant women with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) negative by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Methods: Twenty-four pregnant women with HBsAg and HBeAg negative but other HBV markers positive together with their infants were included as study group. Sixteen pregnant women with HBV marker negative and their infants were in the control group.
