Emergence and transmission of Carbapenem-resistant gene in healthy pigs in Baise, Guangxi, China: a discovery.

A total of 366 tonsillar tissue samples were collected from healthy free-range pigs owned by farmers across 12 districts in Baise City, Guangxi, China. This initiative successfully isolated six strains of Carbapenem-Resistant (CRE), including four strains of , and one of and . Assessments utilizing Carbapenemase inhibitor enhancement test, in conjunction with the ResFinder resistance gene database, revealed that five strains carried the gene, while one strain possessed the gene.

Atractylenolide-I Sensitizes Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells to Paclitaxel by Blocking CTGF Expression and Fibroblast Activation.

This investigation was conducted to elucidate whether atractylenolide-I (ATL-1), which is the main component of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz, can sensitize triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells to paclitaxel and investigate the possible mechanism involved. We discovered that ATL-1 could inhibit tumor cell migration and increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to paclitaxel. ATL-1 downregulated the expression and secretion of CTGF in TNBC cells.

Atypical extraventricular neurocytoma: A case report.

Atypical extraventricular neurocytoma (EVN) is a rare condition characterized by diffuse tumor cell hyperplasia, increased neovascularization, increased necrosis, and aggressive characteristics. A case of a 25-year old man who presented with atypical EVN in his left parietal - occipital flaps is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a well-defined globular mass with heterogeneous signals in the left parietal lobe, and mild perilesional edema.

Saikosaponin-d attenuated lipopolysaccharide-induced depressive-like behaviors via inhibiting microglia activation and neuroinflammation.

Saikosaponin-d (SSd), a triterpenoid saponins compound extracted from Radix Bupleuri, has been demonstrated to effectively alleviate chronic mild stress-induced depressive behaviors in rats, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still uncertain. Increasing evidence indicated that microglia activation and inflammatory responses were involved in the pathogenesis of depression. Thus, we desired to induce inflammation-related depressive-like behaviors in mice by injecting lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to investigate whether the antidepressant effect of SSd is related to inhibiting inflammation.

Prognostic implications of resection extent for patients with glioblastoma multiforme: a meta-analysis.

Introduction: Surgery is the primary treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), and a greater extent of resection (EOR) has been shown to be associated with improved survival. Our objective was to perform a meta-analysis comparing the 1-year overall survival (OS) and 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) of GBM patients who receive total resection, incomplete resection, or biopsy only.

Evidence Acquisition: PubMed and the Cochrane databases were searched until May 19th, 2015 using the terms "glioblastoma/glioblastoma multiforme," "extent of resection," "surgery prognosis/prognostic," "survival rate.

[Influence of penetrative needling of Shendao (GV 11) on the symptom score and serum IgE content in chronic urticaria patients].

Objective: To observe the changes of symptom scores and serum IgE level after treatment with thick-needle subcutaneous penetration of Shendao (GV 11) in chronic urticaria patients.

Methods: A total of 60 chronic urticaria patients were randomly divided into acupuncture group (n = 30) and medication group (n = 30). Subcutaneous penetrative needling was applied to GV 11 with thick acupuncture needle (retained for 4 h/time, once daily, 5 times/week) for patients of acupuncture group and Levocetirizine Hydrochloride tablets (5 mg/time, once daily in the first two weeks, then, once every other day in the 3rd and 41th weeks, and once every 3 days in the last two weeks) were given to patients of medication group.

[Operation of lateral ventricular meningiomas of the trigone].

Objective: To summarize the surgical treatment of intraventricular trigonal meningiomas.

Method: 64 cases of intraventricular trigonal meningiomas were retrospectively analyzed. 40 tumors were located in the left trigone and 24 tumors in the right.
