Consequently, it is urgent to find new antibiotics with efficient broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. By virtue of versatility in molecular design, a new peptide-like cell membrane-broken molecule, oligo-（7,7＇-bifluoren-benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole） （OFBT） possessing a conjugated backbone and eight pendant guanidyl moieties was designed and synthesized. OFBT exhibits favorable broad-spectrum of antirnicrobial activity to pathogens including Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, and fungi with the minimum inhibitory concentration （MIC） below 3.0 μM. Moreover, OFBT exhibits high selectivity for pathogens over human cells to make it a promising broad spectrum antimicrobial agent.展开更多

Methods: a total of 80 patients who were treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics from January 2020 to January 2021 were selected, and the digital table was randomly divided into 2 groups and 40 patients per group. Patients in the reference group were given conventional broad-spectrum antimicrobial drug treatment and intensive monitoring treatment, and the trial group gave comprehensive gastrointestinal treatment and prevention on the basis of the reference group. The duration of hospitalization, quality of survival scores before and after treatment, and the incidence of bacterial disorders caused by broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs were compared. Results: the hospital stay in the test group was shorter than the reference group, and the quality of survival score was higher than the reference group, with P <0.05. The incidence of bacterial dysbiosis caused by broad-spectrum antibiotics was lower than that of the reference group, with P <0.05. Conclusion: comprehensive treatment of digestive tract prevents the exact effect of flora disorders caused by wide-spectrum antibiotics, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of flora disorders, improve the quality of survival of patients, and shorten the hospital stay.展开更多

The Shuidonggou Late Paleolithic site, dated at 30-20 ka BP, accumulated cultural remains during the important late stage of MIS 3 period in the last glacial. These remains represent characteristics of typical Late Paleolithic conditions in North China:high degree of standardization and morphological variability of tool types, exploitation of bone materials, systematic use of body decorations, extensive use of earth-pit hearths, distinct functional spatial organization within habitations, and conversion of subsistence patterns. These characteristics illustrate early modern human behaviors during the late MIS3 period, and provide clues and perspectives for the analysis of early modern human origins in China. At the same time, the conversion of subsistence patterns is considered to be a combination of multiple early modern human behaviors, as well as the result of the Broad Spectrum Revolution. In this paper, we argue for the dynamic mechanism of Broad Spectrum Revolution from a human behavioral and ecological perspective.展开更多

Oryzicola （Xooc） at multiple growth stages were screened, in order to provide reliable resistance sources for variety breeding against rice bacterial leaf streak. [ Methods] A total of 1 100 rice lines with rich genetic background were offered as selective objects, and highly susceptible cultivar Jingang 30 was used as the control. Inoculation was carried out with five strong pathogenic strains of Xooc through acupuncture method at various growth stages for resistance identification. [ Results] Fourteen disease-resistant materials were obtained through preliminary screening, accounting for 1.27% of the total materials. Nine materials moderately resistant to bacterial leaf streak were obtained via secondary screening, accounting for 0.82% of the total materials. Besides, three of them （ RL6, RL9 and RLL4） were resistant to a number of pathogenic strains of Xooc at three growth stages. In particular, RL16 presented broad-spectrum resistance to multi-strains with high resistance levels. Six of them （ RI2, RIA, RIS, RL8, RL11 and RL12） were resistant to single strain at single growth stage. [ Conclusions] The obtained three materials have broad-spectrum resistance to bacterial leaf streak at multiple growth stages, which can be served as an important source to cultivate disease-resistant rice varieties. RL6 maintains high broad-spectrum resistance at all growth stages, which can be used as a prior resistance source for rice variety breeding. Six materials obtained with resistance against bacterial leaf streak at particular growth stages can be used as candidate resistance sources.展开更多

It is found that in helical two-stream electron beams the growth rate of the two-stream instability increases with the beam entrance angle. An SCW with the broad frequency spectrum, in which higher harmonics have higher amplitudes, forms when the frequency of the first SCW harmonic is much less than the critical frequency of the two-stream instability. For helical electron beams the spectrum expands with the increase of the beam entrance angle. Moreover, we obtain that utilizing helical electron beams in multiharmonic two-stream superheterodyne free-electron lasers leads to the improvement of their amplification characteristics, the frequency spectrum broadening in multiharmonic signal generation mode, and the reduction of the overall system dimensions.展开更多

The culture supernatant of WY047 demonstrated inhibition ofa wide spectrum ofbacteria(Gram positive and Gram negative) and fungi. Nine pairs ofprimers were designed and six genes( bmyD, fenA, hag, ituA, mrsA, and tasA) ofantimicrobial substances were detected by PCR, one ofwhich was isolated by 80% ammonium sulfate precipitation, D201 resin anion-exchange chromatography, and Sephadex G-75 filtration column. The purified peptide was estimated to be 35,207 Da and identified as flagellin by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Another four antimicrobial substances were extracted with methanol and identified as iturin A, fengycin, bacillomycin D, and mersacidin through the liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry(LC–MS) method. The sixth possible peptide encoded by tas A could not be isolated in this study; however, the broader spectrum suggested huge application prospects.展开更多

Methods: ESBL-data were retrospectively collected from bacterial isolates from all specimens received at the Department of Clinical Microbiology from 2003 to 2011 together with the corresponding patient data. ESBL-production was detected in isolates from 1067 of 59,373 patients (1.8%) with an E. coli infection and in 263 of 8660 patients (3.0%) with a K. pneumoniae infection. Results: From 2003 to 2009, an increase in patients with an ESBL-producing isolate occurred in both hospitals and primary health care at the same time as an increased consumption of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents was seen. Interventions to reduce prescription of cephalosporins and ciprofloxacin at the hospitals from 2010 resulted in a remarkable decrease in patients with ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae whereas a continuing increase was seen in patients with ESBL-producing E. coli both at hospitals and in primary health care. The proportion of patients with community-acquired ESBL-producing E. coli was stable with an increase of only 1.4% from 2007 to 2011. Conclusions: Reduction in prescription of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents at the hospital level had an important impact on the incidence of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae, but not on ESBL-producing E. coli.展开更多

It may be considered as a physiological change during pregnancy. The incidence in Asian women is higher than that in other ethnic groups but further epidemiologic data are needed. There are very few studies related to the benefits of sunscreens to prevent this dermatosis. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the prevention of melasma in Korean pregnant women. We tested the effectiveness and tolerance of a sunscreen product (SPF 50+, UVA-PF 30) during a 12-month clinical trial including 220 Korean parturients with skin type III and IV. 217 women completed the study. Only 3 (1%) of the study population developed melasma, which was mild (MASI grade between 1.2 and 2.7). In addition, the clinical effectiveness of the evaluated sunscreen was judged “good to excellent” by the majority of study participants and by the research dermatologists. The “excellent” tolerance of the sunscreen under evaluation was confirmed “good” to “excellent” in 95% and 97% of cases. This study clearly demonstrates that this broad-spectrum sunscreen is well tolerated and effective in the prevention of melasma in Korean pregnant women. Although treatment remains elusive, prevention is possible.展开更多

The Shuidonggou Late Paleolithic site, dated at 30-20 ka BP, accumulated cultural remains during the important late stage of MIS 3 period in the last glacial.

These characteristics illustrate early modern human behaviors during the late MIS3 period, and provide clues and perspectives for the analysis of early modern human origins in China. At the same time, the conversion of subsistence patterns is considered to be a combination of multiple early modern human behaviors, as well as the result of the Broad Spectrum Revolution.

Methods: ESBL-data were retrospectively collected from bacterial isolates from all specimens received at the Department of Clinical Microbiology from 2003 to 2011 together with the corresponding patient data. ESBL-production was detected in isolates from 1067 of 59,373 patients (1.8%) with an E. coli infection and in 263 of 8660 patients (3.0%) with a K. pneumoniae infection. Results: From 2003 to 2009, an increase in patients with an ESBL-producing isolate occurred in both hospitals and primary health care at the same time as an increased consumption of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents was seen. Interventions to reduce prescription of cephalosporins and ciprofloxacin at the hospitals from 2010 resulted in a remarkable decrease in patients with ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae whereas a continuing increase was seen in patients with ESBL-producing E. coli both at hospitals and in primary health care. The proportion of patients with community-acquired ESBL-producing E. coli was stable with an increase of only 1.4% from 2007 to 2011. Conclusions: Reduction in prescription of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents at the hospital level had an important impact on the incidence of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae, but not on ESBL-producing E. coli.
文摘Chloasma, or melasma, is a commonly acquired pigmentary disorder among Asian women. It may be considered as a physiological change during pregnancy. The incidence in Asian women is higher than that in other ethnic groups but further epidemiologic data are needed. There are very few studies related to the benefits of sunscreens to prevent this dermatosis. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the prevention of melasma in Korean pregnant women. We tested the effectiveness and tolerance of a sunscreen product (SPF 50+, UVA-PF 30) during a 12-month clinical trial including 220 Korean parturients with skin type III and IV. 217 women completed the study. Only 3 (1%) of the study population developed melasma, which was mild (MASI grade between 1.2 and 2.7). In addition, the clinical effectiveness of the evaluated sunscreen was judged “good to excellent” by the majority of study participants and by the research dermatologists. The “excellent” tolerance of the sunscreen under evaluation was confirmed “good” to “excellent” in 95% and 97% of cases. This study clearly demonstrates that this broad-spectrum sunscreen is well tolerated and effective in the prevention of melasma in Korean pregnant women. Although treatment remains elusive, prevention is possible.

文摘Crop varieties with broad-spectrum resistance(BSR)are highly beneficial,as they provide resistance against the majority of races within the same species of pathogen or even across multiple pathogen species(Li et al.,2020).Plant breeders usually introduce dominant resistance(R)genes in their breeding programs.However,these genes often recognize cognate avirulence effectors,resulting in race-specific resistance against a single or few pathogen strains(Li et al.,2019,2020).Recent studies have suggested that disabling some susceptibility(S)genes in elite cultivars could significantly enhance quantitative resistance,but the level of resistance is much less than qualitative resistance(van Schie and Takken,2014;Tao et al.,2021;Gao et al.,2024).Therefore,combining R gene stacks with S genes editing may represent an excellent strategy for achieving BSR and durable resistance(Deng et al.,2020;Jones et al.,2024).
