Modifying Antibiotic Activity of Synthetic Thiadiazine Analogs Against MDR Bacteria and ADMET Analysis

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
The study demonstrated that thidiazine compounds potentiated the action of antibiotics. The compounds associated with norfloxacin against S. aureus showed greater significance in relation to the other medications. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the selection of resistant bacterial strains, significantly reducing the effectiveness of ...

Association between patient outcomes and key performance indicators of stroke care quality: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2017
Purpose: Translating research evidence into clinical practice often uses key performance indicators to monitor quality of care. We conducted a systematic review to identify the stroke key performance indicators used in large registries, and to estimate

Stabilized Extracellular Vesicle Formulations for Inhalable Dry Powder Development

Small, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold promise for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment but face challenges with storage and delivery. This study demonstrates the stabilization of lung fibroblast‐derived EVs using inulin, enabling freeze‐drying and spray‐drying.

Extracellular calcium reduction strongly increases the lytic capacity of pneumolysin from streptococcus pneumoniae in brain tissue [PDF]

, 2011
Background. Streptococcus pneumoniae causes serious diseases such as pneumonia and meningitis. Its major pathogenic factor is the cholesterol-dependent cytolysin pneumolysin, which produces lytic pores at high concentrations.

Medical Gas Plasma Inactivates Adenoviruses via Capsid Oxidation

Small, EarlyView.
Oxidative modification of three adenoviral capsid proteins after gas plasma treatment. Schematic representation of the viral infection process, starting with the initial attachment of the virus via its fiber protein binding to the cellular receptors (CAR and/or CD46). In the secondary attachment step, the penton base binds to integrin structures on the

Sphinganine‐phosphate prevents influenza infection via promoting CD8+ T cells proliferation and activation

VIEW, EarlyView.
This study established clinical cohorts of respiratory viral infections and identified sphinganine‐phosphate (SA) as a metabolite significantly upregulated post‐infection through metabolomic analysis. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that SA promotes the generation of effector CD8+ T cells via the SOCS1/JAK1/STAT1 pathway, which ...

The Impact of Environmental Pollution and Climate Change on Allergic Rhinitis and Lung Diseases

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution and climate change seriously affect human health, leading to the onset and exacerbation of chronic respiratory diseases, such as allergic rhinitis and lung diseases. Over the past several decades, increasing air pollution and environmental exposure owing to global urbanization, industrialization, and rapid economic ...

Therapeutic Efficacy of the Supersulfide Donor NAC‐S2 in Influenza Virus Pneumonia via Suppression of Excessive Inflammatory Responses

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Influenza pneumonia is characterized by excessive inflammatory responses that contribute to severe lung injury and mortality. Supersulfides, endogenously produced cysteine‐derived persulfides and polysulfides, exert potent antioxidant, anti‐ferroptotic, and anti‐inflammatory activities; however, their therapeutic potential after disease onset ...
