CPEs with high log P, molecular weight and polarizability showed highest ERpermeation, which indicated that its enhancement action site was skin according to its βR/P value less then 1, due to it interacted with skin lipid strongly and obtained the lowest diffusion rate in skin. Thus, it increased the disruption level of highly ordered arrangement of intercellular lipid bilayers, which was characterized by ATR-FTIR, Raman, confocal laser scanning microscopy and molecular dynamics simulation. In conclusion, physicochemical properties of CPEs determined its enhancement action efficacy and sites in transdermal drug delivery process, which permitted rational selection of CPEs and the development of safer and more efficacious transdermal patch. In this study, a system for oral delivery of oxaliplatin (OXA) was prepared for metronomic chemotherapy to enhance antitumor efficacy and modulate tumor immunity. OXA was complexed with Nα-deoxycholyl-l-lysyl-methylester (DCK) (OXA/DCK) and formulated as a nanoemulsion (OXA/DCK-NE). OXA/DCK-NE showed 3.35-fold increased permeability across a Caco-2 cell monolayer, resulting in 1.73-fold higher oral bioavailability than free OXA. In addition, treatment of the B16F10.OVA cell line with OXA/DCK-NE resulted in successful upregulation of immunogenic cell death (ICD) markers both in vitro and in vivo. In a B16F10.OVA tumor-bearing mouse model, treatment with OXA/DCK-NE substantially impeded tumor growth by 63.9 ± 13.3% compared to the control group, which was also greater than the intravenous (IV) OXA group. Moreover, treatment with a combination of oral OXA/DCK-NE and anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (αPD-1) antibody resulted in 78.3 ± 9.67% greater inhibition compared to controls. More important, OXA/DCK-NE alone had immunomodulatory effects, such as enhancement of tumor antigen uptake, activation of dendritic cells in tumor-draining lymph nodes, and augmentation of both the population and function of immune effector cells in tumor tissue as well as in the spleen; no such effects were seen in the OXA IV group. These observations provide a rationale for combining oral metronomic OXA with immunotherapy to elicit synergistic antitumor effects. Methods to selectively destroy mitochondria of tumor cells and induce cell apoptosis with nanomedicine constitute challenges in cancer therapy. In the present study, we develop cell membrane/mitochondria dual targeting and pH/redox dual responsive nanoparticles for mitochondrion therapy. The nanoparticles are fabricated by the self-assembly of triphenylphosphonium (TPP) grafted poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)-poly(d,l-lactide)(PLA) copolymers (TPP-PEG-ss-PLA) using disulfide bonds as the intermediate linkers. To shield the surface positive charge of the nanoparticles from TPP composition, chondroitin sulfate (CS) is employed to coat the nanoparticles, and this prolongs blood circulation while endowing an active targeting ability to the cell membrane. In acidic lyso-somes/endosomes, the negatively charged CS layer falls away to expose the TPP component. Subsequently, in the cyto-plasm, the nanoparticles can anchor to the mitochondrial outer membrane by TPP-mediated targeting, thereby inducing a decrease in the membrane potential and opening of the permeability transition pore. Thus, the overproduction of ROS in the mitochondria promotes cell apoptosis. Sardomozide The released DOX directly diffuse into the mitochondria, thereby resulting in mito-chondrial DNA damage. Therefore, the nanoparticles exhibit significant potential in terms of a new avenue for mitochondrion therapy in cancer treatment. The current study investigated if feedback-related negativity (FRN) and mid-frontal theta oscillations would respond differently during the outcome evaluations of conformity decisions, which were consistent with self vs. others' opinions. Participants first performed a perceptual judgment task, then saw the majority opinion prior to submitting their final decision, and subsequently learned whether their final decision was correct. With incongruent initial self and others' opinions, the incorrect feedback to a non-conform (no-change) final decision elicited larger FRN while the incorrect feedback to a conform (change) decision elicited larger theta power, compared to their respective correct decisions. In addition, beta power was larger in the correct than incorrect conform decision. FRN and theta power, but not beta power, were associated with subsequent conformity behavior. The FRN and theta signals therefore demonstrated differential sensitivity to the source of information that drove a conformity decision.Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a major enteric disease associated with antibiotic use and a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections worldwide. This is the first guideline for treatment of CDI in Taiwan, aiming to optimize medical care for patients with CDI. The target audience of this document includes all healthcare personnel who are involved in the medical care of patients with CDI. The 2018 Guidelines Recommendations for Evidence-based Antimicrobial agents use in Taiwan (GREAT) working group was formed, comprising of infectious disease specialists from 13 medical centers in Taiwan, to review the evidence and draft recommendations using the grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) methodology. A nationwide expert panel reviewed the recommendations during a consensus meeting in March 2019. The recommendation is endorsed by the Infectious Diseases Society of Taiwan (IDST). This guideline describes the epidemiology and risk factors of CDI, and provides recommendations for treatment of CDI in both adults and children. Recommendations for treatment of the first episode of CDI, first recurrence, second and subsequent recurrences of CDI, severe CDI, fulminant CDI, and pediatric CDI are provided. V.BACKGROUND Nontyphoid Salmonella and Shigella can cause gastroenteritis in humans. Ceftriaxone (CRO) has been used to treat their infection, however, development of CRO resistance are often associated with plasmid-mediated blaCMY. Here, we investigated the presence of plasmid-mediated ISEcp-1 tnpA-blaCMY-2-blc-sugE and the role of these genes in regulation of CRO susceptibility in different hosts. METHODS 194 strains of Salmonella serovars and Shigella were tested for CRO susceptibility. Non-susceptibility strains were examined for plasmid-mediated ISEcp-1 tnpA-blaCMY-2-blc-sugE by PCR amplification, Southern blot, and DNA sequencing. The plasmid profiles were determined by HindIII-digested restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Four recombinant plasmids with different genes from ISEcp-1 tnpA-blaCMY-2-blc-sugE were constructed and then were transferred into Escherichia coli and different Salmonella serovars to evaluate the CRO susceptibility. RESULTS Among 20 CRO-nonsusceptible isolates of Salmonella Choleraesuis (5), S.
