During sepsis, the dysfunction of blood-brain barrier (BBB) was mediated by inflammation and subsequently caused sepsis-associated encephalopathy. Hydroxyethyl starch (HES, 130/0.4) is most widely used for volume replacement to maintain or improve tissue perfusion in patients with se... | PMID: 20451670

Twenty-eight cases occurred in the sigmoid colon, 16 in the descending colon, four in the transverse colon, and 10 in the ascending colon. No cases of acute epiploic appendagitis were identified in the caecum. Four cases of prospectively dictated caecal epiploic appendagitis were identified from the... | PMID: 18625354

Invasive fungal infection is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. The occurrence of two invasive fungal infections in one patient at the same time is quite rare. Here the authors report on two adolescent patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who deve... | PMID: 18363175

We report the case of a 64-year-old woman with T-cell lymphocytic leukaemia, who exhibited asymptomatic reactivation of cytomegalovirus infection and developed subsequently typhlitis. CONCLUSION: The pathological mechanisms of typhlitis remain unclear in neutropenic patients. The role of cytotoxic d... | PMID: 17933434

A 30-year-old lady presented with a 6-month history of recurrent partial intestinal obstruction associated with intermittent fever, anorexia and weight loss. Barium meal follow-through and colonoscopic evaluation suggested ulceration of the ileum and caecum with small bowel obstruction. Histology of... | PMID: 18972773

We investigated the commonality and biosynthesis of the O-methyl phosphoramidate (MeOPN) group found on the capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of Campylobacter jejuni. High resolution magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy was used as a rapid, high throughput means to examine multiple isolates, analyze th... | PMID: 17675288
