Synergism of prenylflavonoids from Morus alba root bark against clinical MRSA isolates.

Phytomedicine : international journal of phytotherapy and phytopharmacology
BACKGROUND: Clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a thorny problem in current anti-infective therapeutics and a challenge of new drug development. Plant prenylflavonoids possess anti-MRSA activity, but few of the prenylflavon...

Human Wharton's Jelly-Derived Stem Cells Display a Distinct Immunomodulatory and Proregenerative Transcriptional Signature Compared to Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells.

Stem cells and development
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells with immunosuppressive and trophic support functions. While MSCs from different sources frequently display a similar appearance in culture, they often show differences in their surface marke...

Apolipoprotein A-I: A favorable prognostic marker in infective endocarditis.

Journal of clinical lipidology
BACKGROUND: Decreased apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are common in inflammation and sepsis. No study with a large sample size has been performed to investigate the prognostic value of apoA-I or HDL-C in i...

Bayesian averaging over Decision Tree models for trauma severity scoring.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Health care practitioners analyse possible risks of misleading decisions and need to estimate and quantify uncertainty in predictions. We have examined the "gold" standard of screening a patient's conditions for predicting survival probability, based...

[Surveillance of Sensitivity to Penicillin in streptococcus Agalactiae recovered from pregnant women between 35-37 weeks of gestation].

Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas (Cordoba, Argentina)
Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) cause severe infections in newborns under three months. Meningitis, pneumonia and sepsis are the main infectious diseases in these children. These infections are among the most serious that an individual can suffer in h...

Classifying cancer genome aberrations by their mutually exclusive effects on transcription.

BMC medical genomics
BACKGROUND: Malignant tumors are typically caused by a conglomeration of genomic aberrations-including point mutations, small insertions, small deletions, and large copy-number variations. In some cases, specific chemotherapies and targeted drug trea...

Ontology-based systematic representation and analysis of traditional Chinese drugs against rheumatism.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: Rheumatism represents any disease condition marked with inflammation and pain in the joints, muscles, or connective tissues. Many traditional Chinese drugs have been used for a long time to treat rheumatism. However, a comprehensive infor...

Hadamard Kernel SVM with applications for breast cancer outcome predictions.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of deaths for women. It is of great necessity to develop effective methods for breast cancer detection and diagnosis. Recent studies have focused on gene-based signatures for outcome predictions....

Comparison, alignment, and synchronization of cell line information between CLO and EFO.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: The Experimental Factor Ontology (EFO) is an application ontology driven by experimental variables including cell lines to organize and describe the diverse experimental variables and data resided in the EMBL-EBI resources. The Cell Line ...

Cell ontology in an age of data-driven cell classification.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Data-driven cell classification is becoming common and is now being implemented on a massive scale by projects such as the Human Cell Atlas. The scale of these efforts poses a challenge. How can the results be made searchable and accessib...
