Discordance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rifampin Susceptibility
habitat overlaps with that of pteropid bats in southern Vietnam. Previous studies showed that IgG ELISA results for NiV-positive fl ying foxes correlated well with NT results (3,4). However, in our study, discrepancies existed between NT results and NiV-N-ELISA and WB results. A reason for these differences could be that Nipah-like viruses are circulating among bats in Vietnam, producing antibo...
متن کاملVulnerable windows define susceptibility to alternans and spatial discordance.
Electrophysiological alternans is a beat-to-beat alternation of the action potential duration and/or Ca(2+) transient amplitude and is linked to ventricular arrhythmias. We investigated the significance of various rate parameters under different experimental conditions with respect to alternans incidence and the propensity for spiral wave formation. Voltage and Ca(2+) were optically mapped in m...
متن کاملInsight to pyrazinamide resistance inMycobacterium tuberculosisby molecular docking
Pyrazinamide (PZA) - an important drug in the anti-tuberculosis therapy, activated by an enzyme Pyrazinamidase (PZase). The basis of PZA resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis was owing to mutation in pncA gene coding for PZase. Homology modeling of PZase was performed using software Discovery Studio (DS) 2.0 based on the crystal structure of the PZase from Pyrococcus horikoshii (PDB code 1im...
متن کاملDiscordance between transferrin receptor expression and susceptibility to lysis by natural killer cells.
Expression of the transferrin receptor on target cell lines has recently been implicated as a determinant of susceptibility to cytolysis by natural killer (NK) lymphocytes. We have examined this proposed relationship in several ways. First, K562 (a cell line highly vulnerable to NK lysis) cells were grown for 24 h in the iron chelator desferrioxamine. Under these conditions, the cells doubled t...
متن کاملDiscordance Between Lung Function
Objective: We examined the validity of the 20-year-old established Asian norms for pulmonary function in a contemporary cohort of Hong Kong Chinese university students. Design and participants: Pulmonary function testing was conducted in university students (n 805). Setting: A university campus in Hong Kong. Measurements and results: Parameters recorded included gender, age, height, weight, sta...
