Incidence of Opportunistic Infections and the Impact of Antiretroviral Therapy Among HIV-Infected Adults in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2016
This meta-analysis provides strong evidence that antiretroviral therapy (ART) has led to a major reduction in the incidence of key opportunistic infections (OIs) in low- and middle-income countries. ART was estimated to have averted about a million cases

Cascade‐Responsive MXene@Cu‐MOF Heterostructure Integrates Antioxidant Activity, Infection Control, and Vascularization for Tracheal Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cascade‐responsive MXene@Cu‐MOF/GelMA hydrogel is engineered as a “skeleton–backpack” platform for extensive tracheal repair. The MXene framework scavenges postoperative ROS and converts NIR light into mild hyperthermia, while the Cu‐MOF component provides pH/NIR‐responsive Cu2+ dosing for infection control, angiogenesis, and chondrogenesis.

A Prussian Blue Nanozyme‐Adjuvanted Vaccine Presenting Phosphocholine Antigens for Induction of Immunotolerance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex disorder characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation and impaired barrier function, for which effective long‐term therapies remain elusive. To address this challenge, we developed a novel nano‐vaccine that combines Prussian blue nanozymes (PBNZs) adjuvants with a ferritin carrier loaded with ...

Mechanisms of Mitochondrial Toxicity and Cytotoxicity Caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pyocyanin in Human Nasal Epithelial Cells

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis‐related chronic rhinosinusitis (CF‐CRS) that produces phenazine metabolites pyocyanin and 1‐hydroxyphenazine (1‐HP), which may have detrimental effects on mitochondria, reactive oxygen species (ROS), Ca2+ signaling, and apoptosis.
