A Case of Invasive Fungal Infection Due to in a Patient with Psoriasis.

() is typically reported to be involved in superficial and subcutaneous fungal infections but overlooked in invasive infections, which is associated with a high mortality rate. It poses a diagnostic challenge due to its confusable characteristics to other hyaline hyphomycetes. Here, we reported a psoriasis patient with an invasive infection.

Case Report: Double trouble: a rare case of successfully treated and co-infection.

Background: Extra-urogenital infections due to () are rare, particularly co-infection with (). Herein, we report on a patient who was co-infected and successfully treated despite delayed treatment.

Case Presentation: We reported the case of a 43-year-old man with and co-infection after a traffic accident.

Catheter-related infections caused by in a patient with motor neurone disease: A case report.

Background: () is a rapidly growing mycobacterium and ubiquitous in the environment, which infrequently causes disease in humans. However, it can cause cutaneous or respiratory infections among immunocompromised hosts. Due to the resistance to most antibiotics, the pathogen is formidable and difficult-to-treat.

A novel combination of oridonin and valproic acid in enhancement of apoptosis induction of HL-60 leukemia cells.

Oridonin, obtained from the traditional Chinese herbal medicine rabdosia rubescens, exerts potent antitumor activities in cancer cells. Valproic acid (VPA), as a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACI), also plays an important role in inhibition of proliferation of tumor cells. However, there are no reports so far on the cooperation between oridonin and VPA for anti-leukemic effect.

c-myc but not Hif-1α-dependent downregulation of VEGF influences the proliferation and differentiation of HL-60 cells induced by ATRA.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in solid tumor growth, progression and metastasis as well as in the proliferation and differentiation of hematological malignancies. However, the molecular mechanism that modulates VEGF expression and secretion in leukemia cells has not yet to be elucidated. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of the signal pathway in modulating the expression of VEGF in HL-60 cells.
