Draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant Campylobacter coli ST825 carrying several acquired antibiotic resistance genes isolated from poultry in China.

Objectives: Campylobacter coli is a typical food-borne pathogen worldwide known to cause bacterial gastroenteritis in humans. This study reported a draft whole genome sequence of C. coli isolate obtained from the caecal contents of poultry in Jinhua, China.

Draft Genome Sequence of a Campylobacter coli WL22 Isolate Possessing (B) with Mutations, Isolated from Poultry in China.

is a major foodborne pathogen worldwide that causes campylobacteriosis cases in humans and is an emerging threat in developing countries. The rapid dissemination of the macrolide resistance gene (B) poses a significant threat to the clinical therapy of campylobacteriosis. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of one strain possessing (B), isolated from the cecal contents of poultry in Jinhua, China.

Development and Validation of an Individualized Immune Prognostic Signature for Recurrent Prostate Cancer.

Background: Immune-related genes possess promising prognostic potential in multiple cancer types. Here, we describe the development of an immune-related prognostic signature for predicting prostate cancer recurrence.

Methods: Prostate cancer gene expression profiles for 477 prostate cases, as well as accompanying follow-up information were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GEO.

[Investigation on the hosts with natural Paragonimus infection and species identification in Jinhua Prefecture of Zhejiang Province].

Objective: To investigate the natural hosts infected with Paragonimus sp. and identify the species of the parasite in selected counties/districts of Jinhua prefecture in Zhejiang Province.

Methods: Three townships/towns were randomly sampled from each of the 9 counties/districts in Jinhua as pilot spots for the survey.

[Effects of montelukast and BCG-PSN on the expression of STAT5b mRNA and IL-4 mRNA in blood mononuclearcells of rats with asthma].

Objective: To study the expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5b (STAT5b) mRNA and interleukin-4 (IL-4) mRNA in blood mononuclearcells in a rat model of asthma and the effect of montelukast (MK) and BCG-polysaccharide and nucleic acid injection (BCG-PSN) on STAT5b mRNA and IL-4 mRNA expression.

Methods: Fifty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats (weight:140-200 g) were randomly divided into four groups: asthma, MK treated and BCG-PSN-treated and control groups. Rat model of asthma was prepared by ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization.
