A male adult skeleton from the Han Dynasty in Shaanxi, China (202 BC–220 AD) with bone changes that possibly represent spinal tuberculosis [PDF]
Bioarchaeological data for tuberculosis (TB) have been published very sporadically in China or the rest of East Asia. To explore the history of TB in this area, 85 skeletons excavated from the Liuwei Cemetery in Shaanxi, China (202 BC–220 AD) were ...

Biochemical characteristics and function studies of Esx-1 secretion-associated protein EspL and EspG1 [PDF]
由巨噬细胞等人体免疫细胞聚集形成的肉芽肿是结核病的形成标志,肉芽肿的形成在结核分枝杆菌的致病过程中扮演着重要角色,它使被感染的宿主与结核分枝杆菌融合在一起。结核分枝杆菌通过特异性的蛋白分泌系统Esx-1分泌系统将具有毒性作用的毒力因子通过高疏水性的细胞膜分泌到胞外。这些毒力因子与宿主中肉芽肿的形成以及结核分枝杆菌毒性作用有关。EspL是结核分枝杆菌Esx-1分泌系统中的一个重要的蛋白,已有研究表明EspL可能通过影响另外两个毒力因子EspE和ESAT-6的分泌而调控肉芽肿的形成 ...

A New Type of Spacer Oligonucleotide Typing for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex and Clinical Evaluation [PDF]
结核病是当今世界范围内对人类健康最具威胁的传染性疾病之一,具有潜伏感染的特点,因此追踪传染源和查证传播途径是长期困扰结核病流行病学研究的一个问题,也是分子流行病学要解决的首要问题。基因分型技术是分子流行病学研究的一个有力工具,在研究结核病传播规律方面有着不可替代的优势。一个理想的基因分型技术应当具备简便、快速、结果可在不同实验室间进行比较等特点。本论文基于探针熔解曲线分析技术,建立新型的快速结核分枝杆菌分型体系,并评价其临床应用。论文内容如下: 第一章为绪论,首先概述了结核病目前的流行情况 ...

Use of a Cytobrush for Sampling the Ear Canal of Dogs With Otitis Externa
Cytological examination of the ear canal is essential for evaluating dogs with otitis externa (OE). The conventional sampling method uses a swab. However, the cytobrush (gynaecological cervical brush), already used for cytological collection from other anatomical sites, has not been adequately investigated for this purpose in dogs with OE.

Background – Sporotrichosis is a chronic, mycotic infection caused by fungi of the genus Sporothrix. Zoonotic sporotrichosis occurs mainly through S. brasiliensis transmission, resulting from the organism's traumatic introduction via scratches or bites, or contact with exudate from contaminated cats.
