Background: Early-onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) is a critical condition primarily caused by maternal-fetal transmission of bacterial pathogens during delivery, with Escherichia coli and Group B Streptococcus being the most prevalent. However, neonatal sepsis can also involve other rare bacteria, including Corynebacterium amycolatum, which was first described in 1988 and is widely recognized as an emerging pathogen in infectious diseases.

Case Presentation: A male infant was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) due to premature birth and tachypnea.

Background: Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) accompanied with Brucella bloodstream and bone marrow infection is an exceedingly rare occurrence in clinical practice. Owing to the striking similarity in their clinical presentations, there is a propensity for misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis.

Case Presentation: In this case, the pediatric patient underwent medical treatment across five different hospitals over a three-month period before receiving an accurate diagnosis and successful treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae, once thought to be harmless, is now recognized for causing diseases such as invasive infections in children and vulvovaginal infections in women, prompting this study to explore its clinical impact and antifungal resistance.
  • Conducted over five years in a medical center in Southwest China, the research collected clinical data and analyzed antifungal susceptibility of S. cerevisiae, which was isolated from various patient cases, using specific laboratory methods.
  • The study found that S. cerevisiae was linked to vulvovaginal candidiasis and showed varying antifungal resistance, particularly with intestinal isolates being more resistant compared to those from other body sites, highlighting the need for better treatment strategies.

Introduction: Antidepressants have adverse effects and induce drug resistance when used excessively or frequently. Therefore, adjuvants are needed to reduce the use of antidepressants during treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an important adjunctive approach to depression with safety, environmental protection, and low toxicity.

, as an opportunistic pathogen, can infect individuals with immunosuppression, neutropenia, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), or other high-risk factors, leading to invasive or localized infections. Particularly in patients following allogeneic HSCT, is more likely to cause invasive or disseminated infections. This study focuses on a pediatric patient who underwent HSCT for severe aplastic anemia.

Background: Emerging studies demonstrate that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in hepatocarcinogenesis through various mechanisms. LncRNA CCAT2 was a newly discovered lncRNA and amplified in several cancers. However, the mechanisms involved in function of CCAT2 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain to be explored.

Accumulated evidence revealed that numerous long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to be involved in the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). LINC00628, a member of lncRNAs, has been reported to act as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer and breast cancer. However, its potential role in HCC still remains unknown.

Herein, a novel and pragmatic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensing method was developed for ultrasensitive and specific detection of Group B Streptococci (GBS) by combining self-enhanced luminol complex functionalized CuMn-CeO (CuMn-CeO-PEI-luminol) with MNAzyme-mediated target-recycling amplification. First, the efficient self-enhanced PEI-luminol luminophore was prepared by combining PEI co-reactant with luminol in one molecular, which shortened electron transfer distance and enhanced ECL signal. And CuMn-CeO was applied to load a large number of PEI-luminol and strengthen luminous efficiency of luminol by the high catalytic activity toward HO oxidation.

Background: Emerging evidences have indicated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play essential roles in the development and progression of cancers. Dysregulation of lncRNA MIR31HG has recently been reported in several types of cancers, and researches on the function of MIR31HG in cancers suggested that MIR31HG could act as either oncogene or tumor suppressor. But the functional involvement of MIR31HG has not been studied in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators in a variety of diseases, including many tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the function and mechanisms responsible for these molecules in HCC are not thoroughly understood. In our previous study, we found that LINC00052 was acted as a tumor suppressor in HCC.
