Bryodulcosigenin attenuates bleomycin‐induced pulmonary fibrosis via inhibiting AMPK‐mediated mesenchymal epithelial transition and oxidative stress
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Phytotherapy Research"
DOI: 10.1002/ptr.7535
Abstract: Fibrosis is a pathological result of a dysfunctional repair response to tissue injury and occurs in several organs, including the lungs. Bryodulcosigenin (BDG) is a cucurbitane‐type triterpene isolated from Siratia grosvenori and has clear‐cut anti‐inflammatory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.06.022
Abstract: Abstract Bridgmanite (Bdg), iron (Fe)- and aluminum (Al)-bearing magnesium silicate perovskite is the most abundant mineral in the Earth's lower mantle. Thus, its thermal conductivity governs the lower mantle thermal conductivity that critically controls the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mmy/myad029
Abstract: Intra-Abdominal Candidiasis (IAC) is frequent and associated with high mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Antifungal treatments may be overused due to a lack of diagnostic tools to rule out IAC. Serum 1,3-Beta-D-Glucan (BDG)… read more here.

An evaluation of the performance of the Dynamiker® Fungus (1-3)-&bgr;-D-Glucan Assay to assist in the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis, invasive candidiasis and Pneumocystis pneumonia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Medical Mycology"
DOI: 10.1093/mmy/myx004
Abstract: Invasive fungal disease (IFD) can be caused by a range of pathogens. Conventional diagnosis has the capacity to detect most causes of IFD, but poor performance limits impact. The introduction of non-culture diagnostics, including the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofy210.1692
Abstract: Abstract Background Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) has improved survival and morbidity, HIV-infected adults still have higher rates of non-AIDS disorders, such as neurocognitive impairment, than HIV-uninfected adults. (1–3)-b-D-Glucan (BDG) is a fungal cell wall component… read more here.
