Effects of the Glutamine Administration on T Helper Cell Regulation and Inflammatory Response in Obese Mice Complicated with Polymicrobial Sepsis.

This study investigated the impacts of GLN on inflammation and T cell dysregulation in obese mice complicated with sepsis. Mice were divided into normal control (NC) and high-fat diet groups. The high-fat diet provided 60% of energy from fat and was administered for 10 weeks to induce obesity.

Use of sodium glycerophosphate in neonatal parenteral nutrition solutions to increase calcium and phosphate compatibility for preterm infants.

Background: Preterm infants require higher calcium and phosphate intake than term infants to facilitate adequate bone growth, but this is rarely met in parenteral nutrition (PN) solution because of the limited solubility of calcium and phosphate. This study aimed to evaluate the solubility of organic phosphate with calcium gluconate in neonatal PN solutions, simulating its clinical use.

Methods: PN solutions were composed of calcium gluconate at 50 mEq/L and sodium glycerophosphate (NaGP) at 25 mmol/L.

Formulation and stability of an extemporaneous 0.02% chlorhexidine digluconate ophthalmic solution.

Background/purpose: Acanthamoeba keratitis is difficult to treat because Acanthamoeba cysts are resistant to the majority of antimicrobial agents. Despite the efficacy of 0.02% chlorhexidine in treating Acanthamoeba keratitis, a lack of data in the literature regarding the formulation's stability limits its clinical use.
