Article Synopsis
- There are germs called Mycoplasma pneumoniae that can resist some antibiotics, and this study wanted to find better ways to treat them.
- Researchers used a cool machine called GENECUBE to check how sensitive these germs are to antibiotics by looking at their genes.
- By using a special test before giving medicine, doctors can help kids get better faster from pneumonia caused by these germs.
In the current study, we prepared a ground mixture (GM) of caffeic acid (CA) with α-cyclodextrin (αCD) and with β-cyclodextrin (βCD), and then comparatively assessed the physicochemical properties and antioxidant capacities of these GMs. Phase solubility diagrams indicated that both CA/αCD and CA/βCD formed a complex at a molar ratio of 1/1. In addition, stability constants suggested that CA was more stable inside the cavity of αCD than inside the cavity of βCD.

The fluctuations stabilized after treatment with α-adrenergic blocker and the perioperative course was uneventful. The possibility of catecholamine-related symptoms including hypertension, heart failure, and blood pressure fluctuations should be considered in the treatment for neuroblastoma; if they are present, treatment with α-blockers is effective.
