The systemic administration of doxorubicin (DXR) decreases the number of epithelial cells and leukocytes in the small intestine of mice. Oral administration of muramyl tripeptide phosphatidylethanolamine (MTP-PE) prevented both disruption of intestinal architecture, and a decrease in the number of macrophages, and it induced the expression of IL-6, G-CSF, GM-CSF, and TNF-alpha in the intestinal tissue. The data suggest that the oral administration of MTP-PE can prevent chemotherapy-induced toxicity to the intestinal mucosa and hence infections due to translocation of aerobic bacteria from the intestine to the blood.

Department of Life, Health & Environmental Sciences, University of L'Aquila, Building Rita Levi Montalcini, Coppito, L'Aquila, 67100, Italy.
Background: A growing number of in vitro and in vivo studies suggest the application of probiotics as a natural approach to maintaining oral health. This double-blind, randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Levilactobacillus brevis CD2 (CNCM I-5566), a multifunctional probiotic frequently used in oral medicine, in preserving or improving several recognized oral health indicators.
Methods: Thirty consenting healthy adults were randomized to receive four lozenges per day of L.

Purpose: Tylvalosin Tartrate (TAT), a new-generation macrolide antibiotic, undergoes significant degradation in the stomach and in vivo rapid elimination upon oral administration, resulting in poor bioavailability. This study developed TAT enteric amorphous pellets by liquid layering (TAT/EAP-LL) with pH-sensitive and burst release characteristics, to enhance drug stability in the stomach and concentration enrichment in the duodenum.
Methods: The drug loading layer, isolation layer and enteric layer were formed on the surface of the blank core pellets.

Oral nimodipine is the only drug approved in North America for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). However, bioavailability is variable and frequently poor, leading to fluctuations in peak plasma concentrations that cause dose-limiting hypotension. Furthermore, administration is problematic in patients who cannot swallow.

Nocturnal polyuria is a major cause of nocturia, which affects quality of life. Aging-related decreases in nitric oxide production have been reported to contribute to salt-induced nocturnal polyuria. We posited that enhanced nitric oxide production from exercise could mitigate salt-induced nocturnal polyuria.
