After intravenous administration or nasal feeding of (6, 7-3H)-labelled norethindrone-3-oxime (NETO) or norethindrone (NET) to rhesus monkeys, the serum concentrations were determined by measuring the radioactivity after separation with HPLC. The serum concentrations of total extractable radioactivity were also measured without HPLC separation. In cases of nasal feeding, NETO and NET were quickly absorbed, and almost all of them were eliminated within 24 hours. NETO, when given via both routes, was partly metabolized to NET and partly remained in original form. The blood concentration--time curves for NETO and NET were adequately fitted to two compartment models. No significant difference in pharmacokinetic parameters between the two drugs was observed. The absolute bioavailability for NETO and NET were found to be 64.46 +/- 34.60% and 35.02 +/- 26.49% respectively.

How does the tidal cycle influence the estuarine dynamics of microplastics?
Mar Pollut Bull

Instituto de Ciências do Mar (LABOMAR), Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), Fortaleza, Brazil. Electronic address:
Estuaries are the main pathway for the microplastics (MPs) to enter into the oceans. However, factors that drive river-sea transport of MPs are not yet fully understood. Therefore, our research investigated the influence of the tidal cycle on the abundance and characteristics of MPs in an urban estuary, through high-frequency sampling (every 2-3 h) using a plankton net (120 μm mesh size) in two seasons (rainy and dry seasons).

Introduction: In critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), a positive fluid balance (FB) is associated with adverse outcomes. However, current FB management practices in CRRT patients are poorly understood. We aimed to study FB and its components in British and Australian CRRT patients to inform future trials.

Article Synopsis
- * A novel antimicrobial protein called 'AF-DP' was isolated from seeds and showed significant antimicrobial and anticancer properties during testing, with a specific focus on its effects on various pathogens and cancer cells.
- * The study found that AF-DP interacts effectively with different types of membranes, and its structure suggests it could be developed into a new drug to combat antibiotic-resistant infections.
Feedback control of organ size precision is mediated by BMP2-regulated apoptosis in the Drosophila eye.

CABD, CSIC/Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Seville, Spain.
Biological processes are intrinsically noisy, and yet, the result of development-like the species-specific size and shape of organs-is usually remarkably precise. This precision suggests the existence of mechanisms of feedback control that ensure that deviations from a target size are minimized. Still, we have very limited understanding of how these mechanisms operate.
