Molecular Characteristics and Antibiotic Resistance of Isolated from Patient and Food Samples in Shijiazhuang, China.

is a common opportunistic and zoonotic pathogen in the world and could easily cause human infections and food contaminations. This study investigated the sequence typing and resistance profiles of isolates from patient and food samples in Shijiazhuang, China. A total of 101 isolates were distributed into six clonal complexes (CCs) and 16 singletons.

Improved Energy Storage Property of Sandwich-Structured Poly(vinylidene fluoride)-Based Composites by Introducing NaBiTiO@TiO Whiskers.

In recent years, high-energy-density polymer-based capacitors have received extensive attention because of their potential applications in advanced power systems and electronic equipment. However, their development is severely hampered by the inherent features of polymers such as low polarization and low charge-discharge efficiency (η). In this study, a new strategy for core-shell NaBiTiO(NBT)@TiO(TO) whiskers combined with sandwich-structured poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based dielectric composites is proposed, in which the middle layer is the PVDF-based composites filled with different fractions of NBT@TO whiskers and the outer layers are pristine PVDF.

Molecular Characteristics of From Food Samples and Food Poisoning Outbreaks in Shijiazhuang, China.

As an opportunistic pathogen worldwide, can cause food poisoning and human infections. This study investigated the sequence typing, the penicillin (blaZ) and methicillin (mec) resistance profiles of from food samples and food poisoning outbreaks in Shijiazhuang City, and the staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) types of the isolates from food poisoning. A total of 138 foodborne isolates were distributed into 8 clonal complexes (CCs) and 12 singletons.

LncRNA MITA1 promotes gefitinib resistance by inducing autophagy in lung cancer cells.

Lung cancer is a major health challenge worldwide. Gefitinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is the common therapeutic drug used in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it is eventually bound to face the problem of acquired drug resistance.

Cytochrome P450 1A1 exon 7 polymorphism and susceptibility to lung cancer in the Chinese population: an updated meta-analysis and review.

Background: Although many epidemiologic studies have investigated the cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) exon 7 gene polymorphism and its association with lung cancer (LC), definitive conclusions cannot be drawn.

Objective: To clarify the effects of CYP1A1 exon 7 polymorphism on the risk of LC, an updated meta-analysis was performed in the Chinese population.

Methods: Related studies were identified from PubMed, Springer Link, Ovid, the Chinese Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and the Chinese Biology Medicine (CBM) databases until October 2014.

Small-molecule inhibitor of Bcl-2 (TW-37) suppresses growth and enhances cisplatin-induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells.

Background: Bcl-2 plays a major role in the pathobiology and drug resistance of ovarian cancer, and inhibition of bcl-2 was useful for OC therapy. It has previously reported that TW-37, a small-molecule inhibitor of Bcl-2 family proteins, inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis in many cancer cells. In the present study,we investigate the effect of TW-37 or / and in combination with cisplain on several ovarian cancer (OC) cell lines with high bcl-2 expression.

[Multiple-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis of Staphylococcus aureus in one food poisoning case].

Objective: To type Staphylococcus aureus strains from a food poisoning case by MLVA method, detect staphylococcal enterotoxin, and provide lab evidence for molecular epidemiological study and analysis of evolution.

Methods: The genomic DNA of 10 stains in the food poisoning case were used as PCR template. Eight pairs of primers were selected from the MLVA database.

Proteomic approaches to biomarker discovery in lung cancers by SELDI technology.

The purpose of the present work is to identify protein profiles that could be used to discover specific biomarkers in serum and discriminate lung cancer. Thirty serum samples from patients with lung cancer (15 cases of primary brochogenic carcinoma, 9 cases of metastasis lung cancer and 6 cases of lung cancer after chemotherapy) and twelve from healthy individuals were analyzed by SELDI (Surfaced Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionization) technology. Anion-exchange columns were used to fractionate the sera with 6 designated pH washing solutions.

A preliminary analysis of non-small cell lung cancer biomarkers in serum.

Objective: To identify potential serum biomarkers that could be used to discriminate lung cancers from normal.

Methods: Proteomic spectra of twenty-eight serum samples from patients with non-small cell lung cancer and twelve from normal individuals were generated by SELDI (Surfaced Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionization) Mass Spectrometry. Anion-exchange columns were used to fractionate the sera into 6 designated pH groups.
