NF1 is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes the neurofibromin protein and negatively regulates Ras signaling. This study was aimed to investigate the molecular, clinical characteristics, and prognostic features of NF1 gene in EGFR mutant lung cancer patients. The next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to analyze the data from lung cancer patient...

Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, an environmental yeast widely used in industry and agriculture, is also an opportunistic pathogen resistant to multi-antifungals. During the national surveillance in China, R. mucilaginosa has been documented from various hospitals and regions. At present, the molecular epidemiology of invasive infections caused by R. muci...

Background: The natural history of patients with low-grade glioma (LGG) varies widely, but most patients eventually deteriorate, leading to poor prognostic outcomes. We aim to develop biological models that can accurately predict the outcome of LGG prognosis. Methods: Prognostic genes for glutamine metabolism were searched by univariate Cox regress...

Background CNS tumors, particularly gliomas, are associated with a high rate of disability and lethality, and are typically diagnosed with histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Our research aims to develop a minimally invasive method for diagnosing, grading and molecular typing glioma. Methods We collected patients who underwent surgery for glio...

Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are the most significant Campylobacter species responsible for severe gastrointestinal disorders. Raw poultry meat is considered a source of Campylobacter transmission to the human population. The present study was aimed to assess the prevalence rate, antibiotic resistance properties, virulence characters...

Pathology
Enteroviruses (EV) commonly cause hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), and can also cause potentially fatal neurological and systemic complications. In our laboratory, sequencing 5' untranslated region (UTR) of the viral genome has been the routine method of genotyping EVs. During a recent localised outbreak of aseptic meningitis, sequencing the 5'...

Campylobacter jejuni infection is considered the most frequent factor associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). In 2019, a large outbreak of GBS was detected in Peru, being associated with C. jejuni detected in stool samples from these patients. The aim of this study was to determine the molecular epidemiology of C. jejuni strains (ST-2993) as...
