Clostridium difficile Infection in Children [PDF]

JAMA Pediatrics, 2013
Clostridium difficile is the most common cause of health care-associated diarrhea among adults in the United States and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. During the past decade, the epidemiology of C difficile infection (CDI) has changed, including a rise in the rate and severity of infection related to the emergence of a ...

Artificial Cornea Substitute Based on Hydrogel Skeletons with Natural Stromal Hierarchical Structure and Extracellular Matrix for Sutureless Transplantation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Humanized corneal stroma‐like adhesive patches (HCSPs) are developed for lamellar keratoplasty and corneal perforation repair. HCSPs exhibit histological, optical, and biomechanical characteristics similar to those of the natural cornea, with improved wet tissue adhesion, anti‐degradation, and anti‐swelling capabilities compared to conventional tissue ...

Gut Microbiota Colonization in Early Life Influences Susceptibility to Adulthood Hepatic Lipid Accumulation in High‐Fat‐Diet‐Fed Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study indicates that perinatal antibiotic exposure elevates susceptibility to high‐fat‐diet‐induced hepatic lipid accumulation via disrupting early‐life gut microbiota colonization. The decreased Lactobacillus colonization inhibits primary‐to‐secondary bile acid conversion, lowering secondary bile acids, enhancing adulthood intestinal lipid ...

Plant-Derived Xanthones against Clostridial Enteric Infections

Antibiotics, 2023
Intestinal bacterial infections are a major threat to human and animal health. In this study, we found plant-derived antibacterial xanthones, particularly α-mangostin (AMG) from the mangosteen peel, exhibiting extraordinary activities against Clostridium

A sharp threshold for a modified bootstrap percolation with recovery [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Physics, Volume 157, Issue 3 (2014), pp 531-570, 2015
Bootstrap percolation is a type of cellular automaton on graphs, introduced as a simple model of the dynamics of ferromagnetism. Vertices in a graph can be in one of two states: `healthy' or `infected' and from an initial configuration of states, healthy vertices become infected by local rules.

Lactobacillus johnsonii Generates Cyclo(pro‐trp) and Promotes Intestinal Ca2+ Absorption to Alleviate CKD–SHPT

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 16, April 24, 2025.
The mechanism map of how L.johnsonii generates cyclo(pro‐trp) to alleviate CKD–SHPT by promoting the expression of CaSR and TRPV4 in IECs, enhancing Ca2+ absorption, and negatively feedback inhibiting iPTH secretion. Abstract Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a high risk of developing secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), which may ...
