Penicillin resistance identification tests are important in veterinary medicine. Six enzyme assays and a PCR test were compared for the detection of beta-lactamase production or the beta-lactamase gene in 175 staphylococcal isolates. We conclude that the PCR test and two nitrocefin-based assays can be recommended for routine clinical use.

A predictive model based on the gut microbiota improves the diagnostic effect in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatology (Oxford)
January 2025
School of Management, Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, China.
Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, destructive autoimmune disorder predominantly targeting the joints, with gut microbiota dysbiosis being intricately associated with its progression. The aim of the present study was to develop of effective early diagnostic methods for early RA based on gut microbiota.
Methods: A cohort comprising 262 RA patients and 475 healthy controls (HCs) was recruited.
Time dependency for human papillomavirus circulating tumor DNA detection after chemoradiation as a prognostic biomarker for localized anal cancer.
Clin Cancer Res
January 2025
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, United States.
Background: While detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) weeks after surgery is linked to recurrence for other solid tumors, the optimal time point for ctDNA assessment as a prognostic biomarker following chemoradiation for anal cancer is undefined.
Methods: Patients with stages I-III anal cancer treated with chemoradiation between 12/2020-5/2024 were evaluated for HPV ctDNA status at baseline, at the end of chemoradiation, and during surveillance using a droplet digital HPV ctDNA PCR assay targeting HPV E6 and E7 oncogenes for 13 oncogenic HPV types. Median recurrence-free survival (RFS) according to HPV ctDNA status was estimated via Kaplan-Meier and compared using a log-rank test.
Peculiarities of in-Stent Thrombosis and Restenosis in Coronary Arteries Post-COVID-19: A Systematic Review of Clinical Cases and Case Series.
Open Access Emerg Med
January 2025
Nuclear Medicine Department, Center of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology, Semey, Abay Region, Kazakhstan.
Background: One of the most serious complications of coronary artery stenting is restenosis and in-stent thrombosis; their prevalence can reach 20-25%. Stent thrombosis can be acute (up to 24 hours), subacute (24 hours to 30 days), late (30 days to 1 year), and very late (> 1 year after previous stenting). In the patients with COVID-19 in intensive care units, the proportion of those with elevated troponin levels reached 25%.

Res Rep Trop Med
January 2025
Parasitology Laboratory, Pasteur Institute of Bangui, Bangui, Central Africa Republic.
Background: Malaria is a major public health problem in the Central African Republic (CAR). Data on malaria epidemiology are often derived from confirmed cases of symptomatic malaria using passive detection approaches, with very limited knowledge of the extent of subclinical and submicroscopic infections.
Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Bangui, the capital of the CAR, to assess the prevalence of subclinical malaria parasitaemia.
Brucea javanica oil inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of oral squamous carcinoma by regulated the MTFR2 pathway.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of Chinese Medicine, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.
Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in oral and maxillofacial region. The development of new chemotherapy agents and new drug combinations may improve patient survival and quality of life, but both surgery and radiotherapy have significant functional side effects and drug resistance, ultimately resulting in a 5-year survival rate of no more than 60% for OSCC patients. Studies have shown that Brucea javanica oil (BJO) extracts have anti-cancer effects against a variety of cancers, but little research has been reported on OSCC.
