Project description:BACKGROUND:Cryptococcal prostatitis is a rare clinical disease and has never been reported in China. CASE PRESENTATION:We report on a male HIV-infected patient with pulmonary and prostate cryptococcosis that was misdiagnosed (as tuberculosis) and delayed diagnosed. Although the patients accepted anti-fungal treatment and anti-retroviral treatment finally, the physician's mistakes reflect the rarity of this condition in China. CONCLUSION:Cryptococcal prostatitis is a rare disease that unusually presents in immunodeficient patients. Physicians should have a heightened awareness of this particular infection in the immunodeficient population.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs), particularly nano-sized small EV exosomes, are emerging biomarker sources. However, due to heterogeneous populations secreted from diverse cell types, mapping exosome multi-omic molecular information specifically to their pathogenesis origin for cancer biomarker identification is still extraordinarily challenging. Herein, we introduced a novel 3D-structured nanographene immunomagnetic particles (NanoPoms) with unique flower pom-poms morphology and photo-click chemistry for specific marker-defined capture and release of intact exosome. This specific exosome isolation approach leads to the expanded identification of targetable cancer biomarkers with enhanced specificity and sensitivity, as demonstrated by multi-omic exosome analysis of bladder cancer patient tissue fluids using the next generation sequencing of somatic DNA mutations, miRNAs, and the global proteome. The NanoPoms prepared exosomes also exhibit distinctive in vivo biodistribution patterns, highlighting the highly viable and integral quality. The developed method is simple and straightforward, which is applicable to nearly all types of biological fluids and amenable for enrichment, scale up, and high-throughput exosome isolation.

Project description:BackgroundUrinary tract infection (UTI) is diagnosed combining urinary symptoms with demonstration of urine culture growth above a given threshold. Our aim was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Urine Flow Cytometry (UFC) with urine test strip in predicting bacterial growth and in identifying contaminated urine samples, and to derive an algorithm to identify relevant bacterial growth for clinical use.MethodsSpecies identification and colony-forming unit (CFU/ml) quantification from bacterial cultures were matched to corresponding cellular (leucocytes/epithelial cells) and bacteria counts per μl. Results comprise samples analysed between 2013 and 2015 for which urine culture (reference standard) and UFC and urine test strip data (index tests, Sysmex UX-2000) were available.Results47,572 urine samples of 26,256 patients were analysed. Bacteria counts used to predict bacterial growth of ≥105 CFU/ml showed an accuracy with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of > 93% compared to 82% using leukocyte counts. The relevant bacteriuria rule-out cut-off of 50 bacteria/μl reached a negative predictive value of 98, 91 and 89% and the rule-in cut-off of 250 bacteria/μl identified relevant bacteriuria with an overall positive predictive value of 67, 72 and 73% for microbiologically defined bacteriuria thresholds of 105, 104 or 103 CFU/ml, respectively. Measured epithelial cell counts by UFC could not identify contaminated urine.ConclusionsPrediction of a relevant bacterial growth by bacteria counts was most accurate and was a better predictor than leucocyte counts independently of the source of the urine and the medical specialty ordering the test (medical, surgical or others).

Project description:Yellow fever virus RNA is usually detected in blood of infected humans. We detected virus RNA in urine and semen samples from a convalescent patient. A complete virus genome was sequenced for an isolate from a urine sample. This virus had a South American I genotype and unique synapomorphic changes.

Project description:The urine of a patient with argininosuccinicaciduria contains several previously undescribed compounds that can be derived chemically from argininosuccinic anhydride (I). One of the major compounds is 8-carboxy-2-carboxymethyl-3-oxo-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexa-hydro-1H-imidazo [1,2-a][1,3]diazepine, which exists as two diastereoisomers that are readily interconvertible at pH5. The corresponding ring-opened monocyclic diazepines are also present, as well as traces of the isomeric hexahydroimidazodiazepines that are formally related to argininosuccinic anhydride (II). The formation and stereochemistry of these compounds are discussed.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 caused a major outbreak of severe pneumonia (COVID-19) in humans. Viral RNA was detected in multiple organs in COVID-19 patients. However, infectious SARS-CoV-2 was only isolated from respiratory specimens. Here, infectious SARS-CoV-2 was successfully isolated from urine of a COVID-19 patient. The virus isolated could infect new susceptible cells and was recognized by its' own patient sera. Appropriate precautions should be taken to avoid transmission from urine.

Project description:The aim of the study was to establish an induced pluripotent stem cell line from urine-derived cells (UiPSCs) from a patient with phenylketonuria (PKU) in order to provide a useful research tool with which to examine the pathology of this rare genetic metabolic disease. Urine-derived epithelial cells (UCs) from a 15-year-old male patient with PKU were isolated and reprogrammed with integration-free episomal vectors carrying an OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and miR-302-367 cluster. PKU-UiPSCs were verified as correct using alkaline phosphatase staining. Pluripotency markers were detected with real-time PCR and flow cytometry. Promoter methylation in two pluripotent genes, NANOG and OCT4, was analyzed using bisulphite sequencing. An embryoid body (EB) formation assay was also performed. An induced pluripotent stem cell line (iPSC) was generated from epithelial cells in urine from a patient with PKU. This cell line had increased expression of stem cell biomarkers, it efficiently formed EBs, it stained positive for alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and it had a marked decrease in promoter methylation in the NANOG and OCT4 genes. The PKU-UiPSCs created here had typical characteristics and are suitable for further differentiation.
