TL;DR: High-dose ampicillin-sulbactam in combination with meropenem and polymyxin B achieves additivity or synergy against 108 CFU/ml of two clinical A. baumannii isolates resistant to all three drugs.
Abstract: Acinetobacter baumannii is emerging with resistance to polymyxins. In 24-h time-kill experiments, high-dose ampicillin-sulbactam in combination with meropenem and polymyxin B achieved additivity or synergy against 108 CFU/ml of two clinical A. baumannii isolates resistant to all three drugs (maximum reductions, 1.6 and 3.1 logs). In a 14-day hollow-fiber infection model, high-dose ampicillin-sulbactam (8/4 g every 8 h, respectively) in combination with meropenem (2 g every 8 h) and polymyxin B (1.43 mg/kg of body weight every 12 h with loading dose) resulted in rapid (96 h) eradication of A. baumannii.

TL;DR: The high chitinolytic activity of strain FPU-7 and the chitinases may be useful for environmentally friendly processing of chitIn in the manufacture of food and/or medicine.
Abstract: Chitin, a major component of fungal cell walls and invertebrate cuticles, is an exceedingly abundant polysaccharide, ranking next to cellulose. Industrial demand for chitin and its degradation products as raw materials for fine chemical products is increasing. A bacterium with high chitin-decomposing activity, Paenibacillus sp. strain FPU-7, was isolated from soil by using a screening medium containing α-chitin powder. Although FPU-7 secreted several extracellular chitinases and thoroughly digested the powder, the extracellular fluid alone broke them down incompletely. Based on expression cloning and phylogenetic analysis, at least seven family 18 chitinase genes were found in the FPU-7 genome. Interestingly, the product of only one gene (chiW) was identified as possessing three S-layer homology (SLH) domains and two glycosyl hydrolase family 18 catalytic domains. Since SLH domains are known to function as anchors to the Gram-positive bacterial cell surface, ChiW was suggested to be a novel multimodular surface-expressed enzyme and to play an important role in the complete degradation of chitin. Indeed, the ChiW protein was localized on the cell surface. Each of the seven chitinase genes (chiA to chiF and chiW) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli cells for biochemical characterization of their products. In particular, ChiE and ChiW showed high activity for insoluble chitin. The high chitinolytic activity of strain FPU-7 and the chitinases may be useful for environmentally friendly processing of chitin in the manufacture of food and/or medicine.

TL;DR: Three new homoisoflavonoids (1-3) were isolated from the roots of Ophiopogon japonicus (Liliaceae) and their effects on the release of the inflammatory chemokine eotaxin, stimulated by IL-4 and the combination of TNF-alpha in BEAS-2B cells, which mimics the in vivo conditions in bronchial allergic asthma.

TL;DR: In this paper, two conditions that the three penalty exponents must satisfy for stable convergence are derived for one-dimensional problems and their effectiveness for twodimensional problems is investigated for static analysis of piezoelectric actuators.
