The interaction of chloramphenicol and beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) in aqueous solution was studied using resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) technology. The molar ratio of the inclusion complex was 1:1 established by spectrophotometry. The RRS technology was first applied to the determination of the inclusion constant of chloramphenicol to beta-CD. The RRS peak of chloramphenicol was at 331 nm. When beta-CD interacted with chloramphenicol to form an inclusion complex, the RRS intensity was enhanced and increased with an increase in beta-CD concentration. The inclusion constants at different temperatures were measured by the RRS technology. The determination results using the RRS technology corresponded with those of the UV-spectrophotometric method. Therefore, the RRS method can be used as a new technology for the determination of the inclusion constant. The thermodynamic parameters (DeltaH, DeltaS and DeltaG) associated with the inclusion process were also determined. These values indicated that van der waals forces and hydrogen bonding could be considered as a main driving force for the encapsulation of chloramphenicol by beta-CD.

Objectives: Amikacin is crucial for treating Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab) infections, with resistance primarily attributed to rrs gene mutations. The correlation between specific mutations and amikacin susceptibility, along with the associated fitness cost, requires further investigation.
Methods: We isolated spontaneous amikacin-resistant mutants in vitro and identified their mutation sites in the rrs gene via Sanger sequencing, which were then compared with existing reports.

Background: Telitacicept, a new biological agent, was approved in China for treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in 2021. Its optimal dosing for treating SLE remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various telitacicept doses in SLE treatment.

Background: Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated the benefits of atrial fibrillation (AF) screening. However, since none have shown a significant reduction in stroke rates, the impact of screening on clinical outcomes remains uncertain.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs reporting clinical outcomes of systematic AF screening in participants without known AF.

Importance: A substantial number of individuals worldwide experience long COVID, or post-COVID condition. Other postviral and autoimmune conditions have a female predominance, but whether the same is true for long COVID, especially within different subgroups, is uncertain.
Objective: To evaluate sex differences in the risk of developing long COVID among adults with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
