Project description:Fecal and amniotic fluid samples were collected from 25 pregnant women undergoing elective Caesarean section delivery after a term pregnancy at Oulu University Hospital, Oulu, Finland. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were isolated from both sample types and their protein cargo analyzed using LC-ESI-MS/MS.
Project description:Children with acute measles were admitted to the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia. Peripheral blood was collected at hospital entry, discharge and 1-month follow-up. Control samples were also collected from uninfected children. All children were HIV negative. Keywords: Clinical timecourse
Project description:The study aimed to characterize plasmids mediating carbepenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae in Pretoria, South Africa. We analysed 56 K. pneumoniae isolates collected from academic hospital around Pretoria. Based on phenotypic and molecular results of these isolates, 6 representative isolates were chosen for further analysis using long reads sequencing platform. We observed multidrug resistant phenotype in all these isolates, including resistance to aminoglycosides, tetracycline, phenicol, fosfomycin, floroquinolones, and beta-lactams antibiotics. The blaOXA-48/181 and blaNDM-1/7 were manily the plasmid-mediated carbapenemases responsible for carbapenem resistance in the K. pneumoniae isolates in these academic hospitals. These carbapenemase genes were mainly associated with plasmid replicon groups IncF, IncL/M, IncA/C, and IncX3. This study showed plasmid-mediated carbapenemase spread of blaOXA and blaNDM genes mediated by conjugative plasmids in Pretoria hospitals.
Project description:BM samples were collected from two adult healthy donors and two AA patients at the first hospital affiliated from Zhejiang Chinese University. Mononuclear cells (MNCs) were isolated using Ficoll-Hypaque gradient separation. CD34+ cells were purified from MNCs with the human anti-CD34 MicroBeads Isolation kit according to the manufactures specifications. Isolated cell was the purification of CD34+ cell. Then, MNCs mixed with CD34+ cells at 4:1 ratio and were analyzed by 10×Genomics.
Project description:In this study, a total of 10 patients who received rt-PA were enrolled. Plasma samples were collected before and 1 hour after the rt-PA infusion for proteomic analysis. Blood sample collection has been approved by Tianjin Medical University General Hospital Ethics Committee, and collection was conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki. Informed consent was obtained from all participants, and all experiments were conducted in accordance with Chinese laws and institutional guidelines.
