Clarithromycin suppresses lipopolysaccharide-induced interleukin-8 production by human monocytes through AP-1 and NF-kappa B transcription factors.

TL;DR: The results indicate that clarithromycin modified inflammation by sup-pressing IL-8 production and that clarityromycin may affect the expression of other genes through AP-1 and NF-kappa B.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of a polymerase chain reaction assay and a conventional microbiologic method for detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

TL;DR: The PCR assay was found to be a sensitive and reliable procedure for the rapid diagnosis of MRSA infection, even in cases in which the conventional MIC assay failed to detect MRSA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent Advances in Graphene-Based Humidity Sensors

TL;DR: This review mainly summarizes the recent advances in the preparation and performance of humidity sensors based on pristine graphene, graphene oxide, reduced grapheneoxide, graphene quantum dots, and a wide variety of graphene based composite materials, including chemical modification, polymer, metal, metal oxide, and other 2D materials.
