Oncogenic fusion protein BCR-FGFR1 requires the breakpoint cluster region-mediated oligomerization and chaperonin Hsp90 for activation. [PDF]
Mutation and translocation of fibroblast growth factor receptors often lead to aberrant signaling and cancer. This work focuses on the t(8;22)(p11;q11) chromosomal translocation which creates the breakpoint cluster region (BCR) fibroblast growth factor ...

The role of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics in setting clinical MIC breakpoints: the EUCAST approach [PDF]
Clinical breakpoints are used in clinical microbiology laboratories to categorize microorganisms as clinically susceptible (S), intermediate (I) or resistant (R) dependent on the quantitative antimicrobial susceptibility as indicated by the MIC value determined in a well-defined standard test system. The laboratory report, with the designations of S, I

Evaluation of urine concentrations of amoxicillin and clavulanate in cats
Background To characterize urinary isolates, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) uses an amoxicillin breakpoint for cats based on plasma (not urine) drug concentrations (≤0.25 μg/mL), but a urine‐specific breakpoint for dogs exists (≤8

Non-linear absorption pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin: consequences for dosing regimens and clinical breakpoints [PDF]
To describe the population pharmacokinetics of oral amoxicillin and to compare the PTA of current dosing regimens.Two groups, each with 14 healthy male volunteers, received oral amoxicillin/clavulanic acid tablets on two separate days 1 week apart. One group received 875/125 mg twice daily and 500/125 mg three times daily and the other group 500/125 mg

Antifungal Breakpoints of Non-albicans Candida Clinical Isolates in Vitek-2 Compact
Sir, The incidence and diversity of infections caused by non-albicans Candida species (NAC) have shown a substantial increase in recent years. Given the growing number of susceptible patients with compromised immunity as a consequence of HIV infection, cancer chemotherapy and transplantation associated immunosuppression, NAC has emerged as an ...

UBE2QL1 is Disrupted by a Constitutional Translocation Associated with Renal Tumor Predisposition and is a Novel Candidate Renal Tumor Suppressor Gene [PDF]
Investigation of rare familial forms of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has led to the identification of genes such as VHL and MET that are also implicated in the pathogenesis of sporadic RCC. In order to identify a novel candidate renal tumor suppressor gene,

Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...
