Clinical and Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain characteristics of tuberculosis patients with diabetes mellitus in Changping District, Beijing, China by Xiaolong Cao, Zexuan Song, Ping He, Xinyue Li, Nan Lei, Qian Sun, Xue Wang, Ruida Xing, Bing Zhao, Xinyu Yang, Zhiguo Zhang, Yanlin Zhao

“…The DST results showed the highest resistance rates to isoniazid and streptomycin, both at 8.2% (6/73), with approximately one-quarter of the strains resistant to at least one anti-TB drug, and about half (47.1%, 8/17) resistant to first-line drugs. The study demonstrated good specificity but suboptimal sensitivity in predicting phenotypic drug resistance based on genotypic resistance. …”

MicroRNA-451a is a candidate biomarker and therapeutic target for major depressive disorder by Yan Chen, Yun Liu, Ming Xiao, Chun Wang, Panpan Hu, Qiuchen Cao, Hu Feng, Jingfan Xu, Weixi Feng, Huaiqing Sun, Huachen Ding, Junying Gao

“…Background Increasing evidence supports the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in major depressive disorder (MDD), but the pathophysiological mechanism remains elusive.Aims To explore the mechanism of microRNA-451a (miR-451a) in the pathology and behaviours of depression.Methods Abnormal miRNAs such as miR-451a reported previously in the serum of patients with MDD were screened and then confirmed in a mouse model of depression induced by chronic restraint stress (CRS). Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice had miR-451a overexpression in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) via adeno-associated virus serotype 9 vectors encoding a pri-mmu-miR-451a-GFP fusion protein followed by behavioural and pathological analyses. …”
