Published: September 2005

A fast and reliable method, based on high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-ITMS), was developed to investigate the infusion prepared from the leaves of Byrsonima crassa Niedenzu (Malpighiaceae), a native plant used in Brazil against gastric disorders. The use of on-line reverse-phase HPLC/ESI-ITMS allowed separation of three major classes of compounds and identification of over 20 very polar compounds characterized as galloylquinic acids, proanthocyanidins, and flavonoid glycosides, as well as the dimeric flavonoid amentoflavone and minor amounts of galloyl hexose and galloyl saccharose. This approach provided data that will allow establishment of a method for a future standardization of the infusion.

Drug-Drug Interaction Between Rifampicin and Albuvirtide: A Phase 1, Randomized, Open-Label Study.

J Clin Pharmacol

January 2025

Department of Pharmacy, Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Albuvirtide (ABT) is a novel long-acting fusion inhibitor for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), and may be co-administered with rifampicin (RIF) in patients concurrent with tubercle bacillus and HIV-1. This study was conducted to investigate the pharmacokinetic effect of co-administration of the two drugs. In the study, 24 healthy volunteers were randomized to receive ABT alone or with RIF.

Laboratory of Veterinary Pathology, School of Veterinary Medicine, Azabu University, 1-17-71 Fuchinobe, Chuo-ku, Sagamihara-shi, Kanagawa 252-5201, Japan.

Amyloidosis is characterized by the extracellular deposition of insoluble protein fibrils that cause cellular damage and dysfunction in organs and tissues. Multiple types of amyloidosis and their causative precursor proteins have been identified in humans and animals. In toxicological studies, a high incidence of spontaneous amyloidosis has been reported in CD-1 mice; however, the precursor protein responsible remains unclear.

The First Clinical School of Hainan Medical University, Department of Breast Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University, Haikou, China.

Background: Despite the advantages of endoscopic surgery in reducing trauma and enhancing recovery for breast cancer patients, its impact on gut microbiota, which is crucial for health and estrogen metabolism, remains unclear. Further investigation is necessary to fully understand this impact and its implications.

Materials And Methods: Between June and December 2022, fecal samples were collected from 20 patients who underwent endoscopic surgery.
