Objectives: To examine the screening methods for mycobacteria recommended by the China Anti-tuberculosis Association, in order to increase laboratory diagnostic accuracy for mycobacterial screening.
Methods: Using P-nitrobenzoic acid (PNB 0.5 g/L) as the control group, and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (HA, in 125, 150 and 175 mg/L concentrations) as the study group, laboratory preserved strains of H37Rv M.tuberculosis, and standard and clinically isolated strains of M.nontuberculosis (NTM) from Guangzhou Chest Hospital were tested for both PNB and HA sensitivity. Differences between groups were analyzed by χ(2) test.
Results: Among the 2529 MTB strains, the resistance rate to PNB was 3.0% (76/2529), to HA was 12.2% (308/2529), 4.8% (121/2529), and 0.9% (23/2529), respectively, corresponding to the aforementioned 3 different concentrations of HA. Among the 1766 NTM strains, the sensitive rate to PNB was 8.3% (147/1766), to HA was 0.1% (2/1766), 0.5% (9/1766), and 0.9% (16/1766), respectively, corresponding to the aforementioned 3 different concentrations of HA. There was significant difference (χ(2) = 5.44-83.50, P < 0.05).
Conclusion: HA at 175 mg/L concentration was the optimal condition for laboratory tuberculosis preliminary screening.

Electrocatalytic hydrogenation of toxic nitrobenzene to value-added aniline is of great significance in addressing the issues of energy crisis and environmental pollution. However, it is a considerable challenging and crucial to develop highly efficient and earth-abundant transition metal-based electrocatalysts with superior durability for the electro-hydrogenation of nitrobenzene due to the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this work, a facile approach is designed and introduced to constructing an integrated self-supported heterostructured Co Ni(OH)(CO)/Al(OH) nanoarrays (CoNiCH/Al(OH)) for the electrocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzoic acid (PNBA) to p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and its electrocatalytic mechanism for PNBA reduction is investigated.

New cocrystals and a salt-cocrystal intermediate system involving the antifungal drug flucytosine (FCY) and various coformers including caffeic acid (CAF), 2-chloro-4-nitrobenzoic acid (CNB), hydroquinone (HQN), resorcinol (RES) and catechol (CAL), are reported. The crystal structures of the prepared multicomponent systems were determined through SC-XRD analysis and characterized by different solid-state techniques. All FCY multicomponent systems crystallize in anhydrous form with different stoichiometric ratios.

Deep-seated bacterial infections are difficult to detect and diagnose due to the lack of specific clinical imaging modalities. Therefore, the bacteria-specific positron emission tomography radiotracer 2-[F]fluoro-4-nitrobenzoic acid ([F]FNB) was developed, which is reduced to 2-[F]fluoro-4-aminobenzoic acid ([F]F-PABA) by bacterial nitroreductases and has improved pharmacokinetics compared to the parent compound. PET imaging demonstrated that the uptake of 2-[F]fluoro-4-nitrobenzoic acid in a clinically relevant prosthetic joint infection model was up to ∼4-fold higher in the infected joint compared to the contralateral joint.

Liquid crystals with high dielectric anisotropy, low operational thresholds, and significant birefringence (Δ) represent a key focus in soft matter research. This work introduces a novel series of hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals (HBLCs) derived from 4-n-alkoxybenzoic, 4-alkoxy-3-fluorobenzoic derivatives (nOBAF), 4-alkoxy-2,3-fluorobenzoic derivatives (nOBAFF), and 2-fluoro-4-nitrobenzoic acid. The HBLCs were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and their thermal behavior was evaluated via differential scanning calorimetry.
