Filter by:Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading infectious disease worldwide and kidney transplant recipients (KTR) is high risk population needing prevention from reactivation, which cause high mortality. In fact, its latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is increasing after transplantation and has been identified as a risk factor for TB. However, the suitable regimen for LTBI treatment in KTRs remains unclear. Currently, three-month rifamycin-containing regimens, such as weekly rifapentine and isoniazid (3HP) or daily rifampicin and isoniazid (3HP), are common because its non-inferiority to nine-month of daily isoniazid (9H) and high completion rate by its short course in TB contacts. However, KTRs have many differences from general population, like use of immune-suppressants and possible residual renal insufficiency, so that to prescribe rifamycin-containing LTBI treatment regimens may have many concerns. One biggest concern is that drug-drug interaction between rifamycin and immunosuppressants. In addition, there is no study before in investigating the use of rifamycin-containing regimen in the population of KTRs (only study for kidney transplant candidates).
Anal cancer is overrepresented among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM), particularly those living with HIV. Australia was the first country to introduce a publicly funded national HPV vaccination program in 2007. This program was expanded to include schoolboys aged 12-13 years in 2013; with a 2-year catch-up for boys aged up to 15 years. The goal of the HYPER4 study is to determine the prevalence of anal, genital and oral HPV among 500 young gay and bisexual men aged 21-25 years who were eligible for the school-based gender-neutral quadrivalent vaccination program. Participants will be required to complete a questionnaire and provide samples for HPV testing. No follow-up visits will be required.

This program was expanded to include schoolboys aged 12-13 years in 2013Íž with a 2-year catch-up for boys aged up to 15 years. In 2018, the 9-valent vaccine (covering genotypes 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58) replaced the 4-valent vaccine in the national program. The goal of the HYPER3 study is to determine the prevalence of anal, genital and oral HPV among 200 young gay and bisexual men aged 16-20 years who were eligible for the school-based 9-valent vaccination. Participants will be required to complete a questionnaire and provide samples for HPV testing. No follow-up visits will be required.
This is a phase 1, Single-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, dose escalation, clinical trial enrolling 24 healthy participants. The main subject is to investigate the safety and tolerability of the LABTHERA-001 capsule and to explore the acceptability of the capsule.
Acinetobacter baumannii causes severe infections (pneumonia, bacteremia, organ space) with high lethality in hospitalised critically ill patients. It can acquire resistance to all classes of antibiotics (multidrug resistance, MDR) except an 'old' drug, colistin, which may be the only therapeutic option. The addition of minocycline to colistin has been shown to be synergistic in vitro, and may be promising in vivo, but this combination has not been limited to case report or case series in comparison with colistin alone.
The DECREASE SSI Trial (Decolonization to Reduce After-Surgery Events of Surgical Site Infection) is a two-arm multi-center individual placebo-controlled randomized (2,700 participants randomized 1:1) clinical trial to reduce post-discharge surgical site infection following open colon or small bowel surgery by comparing chlorhexidine bathing plus nasal mupirocin in the 30 days following discharge to soap without antiseptic properties (placebo) and placebo nasal ointment. This trial seeks to enhance the care of the 675,000 patients annually who undergo colon and small bowel surgery by finding simple and efficacious interventions to reduce SSI.
This study is a prospective randomized case-control study. Six hundred patients who were firstly diagnosed as Helicobacter pylori infection will be selected, and then randomly assigned into case group and control group. Patients in control group take bismuth quadruplicate for 14 days. Patients in case group take Ban xia xie xin Decoction and bismuth agent quadruple for 14 days. Exhalation test or stool Helicobacter pylori antigen detection were used to assess the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori 30 days (the 45th day) after treatment; Adverse reactions were evaluated on the first day (15th day) and the 30th day (45th day) after treatment. The eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori and the adverse drug reactions during the medication will be evaluated. The effect of Ban xia xie xin Decoction and bismuth quadruple based on furazolidone on the eradication of helicobacter pylori infection will be explored.
The researchers collect treatment-naive H.pylori-positive patients from the outpatient clinic. The subjects were randomized to receive a 10-day or 14-day course of Tegoprazan bismuth-containing quadruple eradication therapy at 6 weeks after treatment, subjects underwent another 13C-urea breath test. Calculate the eradication rates, adverse reaction rates, patient compliance and cost-effectiveness index of each group.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a life threatening condition with high risk of pre-term death and need for dialysis. It is defined as kidney damage that has continued for more than 3 months as characterized by structural or functional abnormalities of the kidney, with or without decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR). It is also defined as GFR < 60mL/min/1.73 m2 for more than 3 months, with or without structural kidney damage. The PCT level in healthy individual without infection is below the limit of detection (0.01 ng/mL), and it is significantly elevated under the stimulation of pathogens. However, due to the pre-existing endogenous inflammation that occurs in CKD patients and the impaired kidney clearance, the reference range that applies to the general population may not be appropriate for diagnosing infections in CKD patients. More recently, debate has continued regarding whether the PCT level is increased in CKD patients without infection, and the optimal reference for CKD patients remains undetermined
The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetic profiles of LP-001, an amoxicillin and clavulanate formulation, for use in pediatric patients with a bacterial infection.
