Objective: To investigate the association of CYP3A5 and MDR1 genetic polymorphisms with the concentration/ dose (C/D) ratio of tacrolimus for the feasibility of individualized medication.

Methods: The concentration of tacrolimus was detected by enzyme-multiplied immunoassay technique, and was adjusted by weight and dosage to C/D ratios. The single nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP3A5 A6986G and MDR1 C3435T, G2677T/ A, T1236C were determined by TaqMan RT-PCR.

Purpose: HAb18G/CD147 is a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-associated antigen. We developed iodine (131I) metuximab injection (Licartin), a novel 131I-labeled HAb18G/CD147-specific monoclonal antibody Fab'2 fragment, and evaluated its safety, pharmacokinetics, and clinical efficacy on HCC in Phase I/II trials.

Methods And Materials: In a Phase I trial, 28 patients were randomly assigned to receive the injection in 9.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at causes of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults in China, focusing on how prior antibiotic use and PORT classification relate to the germs involved and the level of drug resistance.
  • Pathogens were identified in 53.1% of patients studied, with Mycoplasma pneumoniae being the most common culprit, followed by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.
  • Findings highlight a significant presence of atypical pathogens in CAP cases, with over 75% of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains showing resistance to common antibiotics, signaling a need for better treatment strategies.
