Elimination of infectious human immunodeficiency virus from human T-cell cultures by synergistic action of CD4-Pseudomonas exotoxin and reverse transcriptase inhibitors. [PDF]
We have previously described a recombinant protein, designated CD4(178)-PE40, consisting of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein-binding region of human CD4 linked to the translocation and ADP-ribosylation domains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A.

Here we report a case of PVL‐negative MSSA necrotizing pneumonia in a previously healthy man that rapidly progressed to cavitary lesions and refractory pneumothorax. Despite its improvement after clindamycin‐based therapy, the patient experienced recurrent pneumothorax and chronic respiratory failure.

Considerations and challenges of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis
Summary Septic arthritis remains a common orthopaedic condition in both human and veterinary medicine which can cause serious morbidity and pose considerable challenges for clinical management. The majority of the published clinical research in humans and veterinary species has been focused on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and outcome of this ...

Challenging the Clostridium botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) with a selection of microorganisms by culture methods and extended storage of used vials to assess the loss of sterility [PDF]
In 2002, botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for cosmetic use. However, there may be procedural differences between the ways in which a clinician handles, applies and stores the product compared to ...

Elucidating the mechanisms of cooperative calcium-calmodulin interactions: a structural systems biology approach [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Calmodulin is an important multifunctional molecule that regulates the activities of a large number of proteins in the cell. Calcium binding induces conformational transitions in calmodulin that make it specifically active to particular ...

Progress of Programmed Cell Death in Steroid‐Induced Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head
Steroid‐induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a severe osteoarticular condition resulting from glucocorticoid overuse, characterized by femoral head bone structure collapse and cell death, now predominant among nontraumatic femoral head necroses.

Nanobiosensor designing with molecular framework polymer method compared with agent-linked nanosilica biosensor for Staphylococcus aureus exotoxin detection [PDF]
Considering the ever increasing population and industrialization leading to developmental trend of humankind's life, we are hardly able to detect the toxins produced in food products using traditional techniques.

Introduction Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of severe nosocomial infections worldwide. This opportunistic pathogen is associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates due to its high levels of antibiotic resistance. The identification of novel therapeutic targets is therefore a pressing global health priority.
