Polypeptides and Nucleic Acid Identification of Hydropericardium Syndrome Agent

Hydropericardium syndrome (HPS) agent was purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation. The polypeptides of HPS agent were separated through sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and identified by known protein markers. Eight polypeptides having molecular weights ranging from 119.0 to 15.7 KDa were observed. The nucleic acid of HPS agent was extracted and determin...

Guillain-Barré syndrome complicated by myocarditis.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disease affecting the peripheral nerves, and is frequently associated with triggering events several weeks prior to the onset of symptoms. We report the case of a 68-year-old female who was diagnosed with GBS and subsequently developed myocarditis. She was treated with inotropic support and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and her condition impro...
