Purpose: Voriconazole (VRC) is recommended for the prevention and treatment of invasive fungal infections in children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It demonstrates nonlinear pharmacokinetics (PK) and exhibits substantial inter- and intraindividual variability. Phenytoin sodium (PHT) and methylprednisolone (MP) are commonly used in the early stages of HSCT to prevent epilepsy and graft-versus-host disease.

Objective: This research aims to comprehensively assess the efficacy of intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) vs. high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS) in post-stroke dysfunction.

Materials And Methods: Until January 2024, extensive electronic database searches were conducted (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, etc.

Purpose: To establish the population pharmacokinetics (PPK) model of cyclosporine A(CsA) in pediatric patients with thalassemia undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), aiming at providing a reference for clinical dose individualization of CsA.

Methods: Children with thalassemia who underwent allogeneic HSCT were enrolled retrospectively. The PPK structural model and the random variable model of CsA were established on NONMEN.

What Is Known And Objectives: Voriconazole has a complex pharmacokinetic profile and exhibits different pharmacokinetic characteristics in adults and children. Nevertheless, few studies have been conducted on the population pharmacokinetics (PPK) of voriconazole in children with haematological malignancies. This study aims to build a PPK model and propose a suitable voriconazole treatment scheme for children with haematological malignancies.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to explore how different factors affect the way mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is processed in children's bodies after liver transplantation, and to develop a model that can help doctors adjust dosages accordingly.
  • Researchers performed a prospective study in one center, collecting blood samples from pediatric patients given MMF for at least four days post-transplant to analyze mycophenolic acid levels using advanced liquid chromatography.
  • A two-compartment pharmacokinetics model was created using data from 20 patients, revealing significant variability in drug clearance rates and showing that body weight and dosage significantly influenced how the drug was cleared and distributed in the body.

Purpose: To analyze factors influencing tacrolimus (TAC) trough concentration (C) in β-thalassemia major (β-TM) pediatric patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) and to investigate the effects of genotype polymorphism and drug-drug interactions on TAC trough concentration in children with β-TM. Furthermore, to analyze the correlation between TAC C and efficacy and adverse reactions.

Patients And Methods: Prospectively collection of demographic information and details of combined treatment of patients with β-TM receiving HSCT, and genotypes of CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and ABCB1 (rs1045642, rs1128503, rs2032582) were obtained for each patient.
