Impact factors of Blastocystis hominis infection in persons living with human immunodeficiency virus: a large-scale, multi-center observational study from China.

Background: Blastocystis hominis (Bh) is zoonotic parasitic pathogen with a high prevalent globally, causing opportunistic infections and diarrhea disease. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection disrupts the immune system by depleting CD4 T lymphocyte (CD4 T) cell counts, thereby increasing Bh infection risk among persons living with HIV (PLWH). However, the precise association between Bh infection risk and HIV-related biological markers and treatment processes remains poorly understood.

Construction of a TICT-AIE-Integrated Unimolecular Platform for Imaging Lipid Droplet-Mitochondrion Interactions in Live Cells and .

Inter-organelle interactions play a vital role in diverse biological processes. Thus, chemical tools are highly desirable for understanding the spatiotemporal dynamic interplay among organelles in live cells and . However, designing such tools is still a great challenge due to the lack of universal design strategies.

[Construction of Nursing Quality Index System in Assisted Reproduction Hospitals Based on the Model of "Three-Dimensional Quality Structure"].

Objective To construct a nursing quality index system for the assisted reproduction hospitals integrating outpatient department,wards,and operating rooms and provide a reference for the application of the system in the quality control of clinical reproductive care. Method On the basis of Donabedian's health care quality model of structure-process-outcome,we established a nursing quality index system for assisted reproduction hospitals via literature retrieval,semi-structured interviews,Delphi method,and analytic hierarchy process. Results The two rounds of expert's questionnaire survey demonstrated the response rates of 100% and 92%,the expert authority coefficients of 0.

Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Protist Infections in Hospital Inpatients in Southwestern China.

spp., , , and sp. infections have been frequently reported as etiological agents for gastroenteritis, but also as common gut inhabitants in apparently healthy individuals.

Diterpenoids with diverse scaffolds from Vitex trifolia as potential topoisomerase I inhibitor.

Eleven new compounds, including six labdane (1-6), three halimane (7-9), and two clerodane (10-11) diterpenoids and 16 known analogues (12-27), were isolated from the leaves of Vitex trifolia. The structures of 1-11 were established by extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR and HRMS spectroscopic data. The absolute configurations of compounds 3, 7, and 10 were assigned using X-ray diffraction.

[Infection of Giardia lamblia in HIV-Infected Individuals and in Kindergarden Children in Rural Area of Anhui and Genotype Analysis].

Objective: To understand the situation of Giardia lamblia infection in HIV-infected individuals and in kindergarden children in rural area of Anhui Province and analyze the genotype of the parasite.

Methods: HIV-infected individuals registered in an AIDS treatment facility and children in a local kindergarden were included in this study during April 24 and May 9, 2015. The feces were collected, stained by iodine solution, and examined by microscopy.

[Observation on growth status of Blastocystis hominis in three media].

Objective: To observe the growth situation of Blastocystis hominis in vitro and select the optimal method for cultivation of B. hominis in different media.

Methods: Ten positive stools with B.
