Effects of Bedaquiline Combined with Fluoroquinolone and/or Clofazimine on QT Interval in Patients with Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis: a Retrospective Study

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
With the application of bedaquiline (Bdq), the success rate of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment has been significantly improved; however, the cardiac safety of the patients during treatment cannot be ignored. Hence, this study compared

A viability assay combining palladium compound treatment with quantitative PCR to detect viable Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis cells

Scientific Reports, 2022
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is a pathogenic bacterium causing the paratuberculosis, chronic and infectious disease common particularly in wild and domestic ruminants. Currently, culture techniques to detect viable MAP are still used

Ferroptosis in cancer therapy: a novel approach to reversing drug resistance

Molecular Cancer, 2022
Ferroptosis is an intracellular iron-dependent form of cell death that is distinct from apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. Extensive studies suggest that ferroptosis plays a pivotal role in tumor suppression, thus providing new opportunities for cancer ...

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.
