Precision pharmacotherapy of atomoxetine in children with ADHD: how to ensure the right dose for the right person?

Non-stimulant atomoxetine is recognized in various current clinical guidelines as an important alternative to stimulants for the pharmacological treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. While its efficacy and tolerability for core symptoms are established, there is considerable inter-individual variability in response and exposure, highlighting the need for personalized dosing. In this review, we evaluated existing studies and summarized comprehensive evidence supporting the clinical implementation of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and personalized dosing of atomoxetine, organized around a series of logically structured questions.

Mechanism of vitamin C alleviating the immunotoxicity of 17α-methyltestosterone in Carassius auratus.

Background: In recent years, the use of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has become increasingly common, leading to severe environmental pollution and harm to aquatic organisms. 17α-Methyltestosterone (MT) is a synthetic androgen that can cause immunotoxicity in aquaculture, affecting fish health. To address this issue, this study aimed to investigate the effect of Vitamin C (VC) on MT-induced immunotoxicity and determine the optimal VC supplementation.

Insights into the unique roles of extracellular vesicles for gut health modulation: Mechanisms, challenges, and perspectives.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which play significant regulatory roles in maintaining homeostasis and influencing immune responses, significantly impact gut microbiota composition and function, affecting overall gut health. Despite considerable progress, there are still knowledge gaps regarding the mechanisms by which EVs, including plant-derived EVs (PDEVs), animal-derived EVs (ADEVs), and microbiota-derived EVs (MDEVs), modulate gut health. This review delves into the roles and mechanisms of EVs from diverse sources in regulating gut health, focusing on their contributions to maintaining epithelial barrier integrity, facilitating tissue healing, eliciting immune responses, controlling pathogens, and shaping microbiota.

Weight status change during four years and left ventricular hypertrophy in Chinese children.

Objective: It is well-established that overweight/obesity is a major risk factor for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in childhood. However, it is still unclear if reversing from overweight/obesity to normal weight is associated with decreased LVH in children. This study aimed to examine the association between weight status change during four years and LVH among Chinese children based on a prospective cohort study.

Deciphering the Impact of Lignin on Anaerobic Digestion: Focus on Inhibition Mechanisms and Methods for Alleviating Inhibition.

China has abundant lignocellulosic biomass resources. These resources are converted into biogas by anaerobic digestion (AD), which not only realizes the comprehensive utilization of waste resources but also obtains abundant biomass energy. However, the low biodegradability of lignocellulosic biomass caused by the complex structure has seriously hindered its utilization by enzymes and microorganisms, resulting in low biogas production and limited development of biogas engineering.

Identification of the Gas Explosion Hazardous Area in a Gob by Numerical Simulations-A Case study of the 6310 Working Face of Tangkou Coal Mine.

In the process of coal mining, gas explosion accidents occur frequently, which seriously affect the safety of mine production. Identifying the gas explosion hazardous zone in a gob is of specific guiding significance for the prevention and control of gas explosion in a coal mine. In this work, we analyze the porosity and gas concentration distribution in the gob after the working face was mined by combining the particle flow and finite-element simulation.

Cage-Based 3D Tetrahexagonal Boron Nitride Crystal with Excellent Terahertz Light Absorption.

In recent findings, a new classification of 1D and 2D tetrahexagonal boron nitrides (-BN) consisting of square and hexagonal rings has been documented. These materials exhibit impressive properties such as the tunable band gap, strong optical absorption, suitable sign-tunable Poisson's ratio, and high ideal strength, making them promising for applications in nano- and opto-electronic industries. Stimulated by these studies, we have designed a cage-based three-dimensional tetrahexagonal boron nitride (3D -BN) structure, which demonstrates excellent thermal, dynamic, and mechanical stability, including exceptional cohesive and formation energies of 6.

Structural and Thermodynamic Analyses of the Complexation of Pr(III), Nd(III), and Eu(III) with Lactate for Simulating the TALSPEAK Process.

The complexation of Pr(III), Nd(III), and Eu(III) with lactic acid/lactate (HA/A) in aqueous solution was reinvestigated using spectroscopic and potentiometric titrations. In addition to the well-confirmed 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 complexes (LnA, LnA , and LnA), more attention was given to the arguable 1:4 species (LnA ) previously reported. With spectroscopic methods, the LnA species was clearly identified in aqueous solutions, and the capability and limitation of the potentiometric method were evaluated and discussed.

Monocyte CD36 Expression Predicts Disease Activity in Patients With Crohn's Disease.

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease associated with genetic, environmental, and other unknown factors. Cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) plays an important role in cancer, inflammation, and metabolic diseases. Although CD36 has recently been implicated in various diseases, its role in CD is still unclear.

The effectiveness of therapist-led family-centered language intervention for children with language delay.

Tert-butyl hydroperoxide induces trabecular meshwork cells injury through ferroptotic cell death.

Trabecular meshwork (TM) tissue has a crucial role in regulating aqueous humor circulation in the eye, thus maintaining normal intraocular pressure (IOP). TM dysfunction causes IOP elevation, which leads to glaucoma. To investigate biological changes in TM tissue in patients with glaucoma, we analyzed the mRNA expression microarray dataset, GSE27276.

Exploring the mechanisms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and Crohn's disease: a bioinformatics-based study.

This study explored the comorbid mechanisms between Crohn's disease (CD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using bioinformatics analysis. From the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) microarray dataset, 349 common differentially expressed genes (coDEGs) were identified, and 8 shared hub genes were found: CCL2, CXCL1, TLR2, ICAM1, PTPRC, ITGAX, PTGS2, and MMP9, which were vital for immune function and regulation of inflammatory responses. In addition, the study also analyzed the association between coDEGs and immune cell infiltration using the single-sample gene set enrichment algorithm (ssGSEA).

Novel virulence determinants in VP1 regulate the assembly of enterovirus-A71.

Unlabelled: Enterovirus-A71 (EV-A71) is the second most common causative agent after coxsackievirus A16 of hand, foot, and mouth disease.

Isolated Ni Atoms for Enhanced Photocatalytic HO Performance with 1.05% Solar-to-Chemical Conversion Efficiency in Pure Water.

Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (HO) production encounters a major impediment in its low solar-to-chemical conversion (SCC) efficiency due to undesired HO product decomposition. Herein, an isolated nickel (Ni) atom modification strategy is developed to adjust the thermodynamic process of HO production to address the challenge. Sacrificial experiments and in situ characterization reveal that HO generation occurs via a highly selective indirect two-electron oxygen reduction reaction.

NIR-II Fluorescence/Photoacoustic Dual Ratiometric Probes with Unique Recognition Site for Quantitatively Visualizing HS in Vivo.

Hydrogen persulfide (HS) plays a significant role in redox biology and signal transduction; therefore, quantitative visualization of HS in the deep tissue of living organisms is essential for obtaining reliable information about relevant pathophysiological processes directly. However, currently reported HS probes are unsuitable for this purpose because of their poor selectivity for many polysulfide species or their short wavelength, which hinders precise imaging in deep tissues. Herein, for the first time, we report a unique HS-mediated dithiole formation reaction.
