    Abstract Introduction: Rapid identification of the causal organism and antibiotic resistance is crucial for guiding targeted therapy in patients with suspected staphylococcal infection. A meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate the diagnostic relevance of Xpert™ MRSA/SA (Xpert) from clinical samples of various origins for limiting the use of unnecessary empirical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) therapy.
    Methods: Five databases, including the Cochrane Library, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase, were comprehensively inspected from inception to October 12, 2021. The pooled summary estimates were evaluated using a bivariate random-effects model.
    Results: Our inclusion criteria were met by 49 publications containing 68 datasets out of 735 citations. A total of 21 studies (n = 4996) examined the accuracy of Xpert in detecting methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA), while 47 studies (n = 45,430) examined the accuracy of Xpert in detecting MRSA. As compared to MRSA, Xpert's diagnostic performance for MSSA detection was markedly higher [sensitivity: 0.97 (0.96-0.98), specificity: 0.97 (0.97-0.98), area under curve (AUC): 0.99 (0.99-1.0)]. Xpert's pooled sensitivity and specificity differed marginally across sample types, including screening of colonization, lower respiratory tract (LRT), osteoarticular, and bloodstream samples. Notably, the Xpert pooled specificity was consistently ≥ 92% against microbiological culture across all sample types. The diagnostic efficiency heterogeneity was not explained by a meta-regression and subgroup analysis of research design, sample conditions, and sampling methods (P > 0.05).
    Conclusion: Our findings suggest that Xpert could be used as the favoured screening test for the early detection of staphylococcal infection in a variety of sample types, with the goal of guiding therapeutic decisions.

    Abstract ThE present work focused on exploring Girdin expression within gastric cancer (GC), examining the effect of Girdin on the cell phenotype of GC, and clarifying the underlying mechanisms. Girdin expression in GC samples was identified by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assays. Girdin-targeting siRNAs were transfected into GC cells; later, we examined GC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis, respectively. Additionally, the protein expression was examined through Western blotting assay. Moreover, the tumor implantation experiment was conducted for examining Girdin knockdown in vivo. The results showed that Girdin expression elevated within GC samples, which was associated with the dismal prognostic outcome. Girdin knockdown suppressed GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and enhanced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Girdin promoted the phosphorylation of AKT, GSK3β, and β-catenin. Moreover, Girdin inhibited the phosphorylation of β-catenin. Girdin suppressed cell apoptosis and stimulated cell migration and invasion, while AKT inhibitor (MK2206) treatment reversed the effect of Girdin overexpression, and GSK3β inhibitor (CHIR99021) treatment enhanced the effect of Girdin overexpression on GC cells. Besides, Girdin delayed tumor growth in vivo. In conclusion, Girdin was abnormally expressed in GC samples, which promoted the development of GC by regulating AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling.

    Abstract Background: Timely detection of causative pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance are essential for guiding targeted therapies in bone and joint infections (BJI) patients. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the diagnostic value of testing osteoarticular samples with the nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) for effective staphylococcal strain identification and the administration of appropriately targeted antimicrobial agents in BJI patients.
    Methods: Five databases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, were searched for related publications from inception to July 24, 2021. Studies comparing the diagnostic accuracy of NAAT to a microbiological culture reference standard of osteoarticular specimens were eligible. Pooled summary values of sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of NAAT compared to the microbiological culture reference standard were calculated using bivariate random-effects meta-analyses.
    Results: From 906 citations, 11 studies were included. Eleven studies comprising 13 datasets (
    Conclusions: Our study suggested that NAAT can be applied as the preferred prescreening test for the timely diagnosis of staphylococcal strains associated with BJI in osteoarticular samples for successful antimicrobial therapy.

    Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) gene varieties and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and the progress of HBV-related liver disease.
    Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane library were used to search eligible studies. STATA software was performed to combine results. Pooled odds ratios (OR) was used to assess the potential genetic relationships.
    Results: A total of 18 eligible case-control studies with 24960 cases and 28342 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The A allele of rs2296651 polymorphism was found to be significantly linked to a protection of HBV infection in the whole combined analysis (P = 0.000). Meanwhile, this allele was significantly associated with a decreased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (A vs. G: OR = 0.668, 95% CI: 0.571-0.782, P = 0.000), and was significantly associated with HBV nature clearance (A vs. G: OR = 0.744, 95% CI: 0.585-0.946, P = 0.016; AA+GA vs. GG: OR = 0.775, 95% CI: 0.613-0.980, P = 0.033; GA vs. GG: OR = 0.748, 95% CI: 0.588-0.952, P = 0.018). However, rs4646287 genetic varieties had no statistical differences in all models with HBV infection or HBV-related disease progress, liver cirrhosis, acute-on-chronic liver failure and HCC, as well as rs7154439, rs4646285, rs4646296.
    Conclusions: Rs2296651 polymorphism (A allele) may protect from HBV infection and the progress of HBV-related disease (HBV-related HCC). Future research about other single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs4646287, rs7154439, rs4646285, rs4646296) of NTCP may be needed to clarify the relationship of NTCP gene varieties with HBV infection and HBV-related disease.

    Abstract Introduction: Esophageal cancer is the seventh most common malignancy worldwide and the sixth leading cause of cancer mortality with an overall survival rate of <20%. Esophageal cancer frequently metastasizes to distant lymph nodes, lungs, liver, and bones. Cerebral metastases originating from esophageal cancer are rare and often carry a poor prognosis as do most all metastatic lesions in esophageal cancer.
    Case presentation: In this report, we describe a 55-year-old patient with past history of esophageal carcinoma who presented with blurred vision after taking ethambutol for tuberculosis. Ethambutol-induced optic neuropathy was the lead diagnosis. Initial vision testing was normal so additional testing with visual field examination was warranted. The visual field examination revealed homonymous hemianopsia. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging of his brain, demonstrated a focal lesion, consistent with but not diagnostic of a brain metastasis likely from his primary esophageal malignancy.
    Conclusion: We conclude that a careful review of the medical history and comprehensive assessment are essential in establishing an obscure clinical diagnosis especially in the event that an uncommon metastatic lesion is encountered.
