Background: The lactate is a product of anaerobic metabolism; it can be used as a marker on demand and availability of oxygen. Changes in lactate levels can be effectively used as a marker in resuscitation maneuvers, even in patients with stable vital signs.
Aim: To verify the lactate clearance as a predictor of mortality in trauma patients, in need of intensive care.
Method: A total of 851 patients were admitted in ICU, in which 146 were victims of multiple trauma; due to the exclusion criteria, were included 117.
Results: Patients were 87% male, mean age 32.4 years, motorcycle drivers, Glasgow coma scale between 3-8, affected by cranial trauma, followed by abdominal trauma. Was verified mortality up to 48 h and global mortality, that did not show statistical relationship between lactate clearance and mortality (p=0.928).
Conclusion: There is no correlation between admission lactate or lactate clearance and mortality in patients treated with multiple trauma.

Introduction: Patients with cirrhosis are known to be prone to infections. Infections can trigger organ failures and decompensations in cirrhosis. Septic shock can increase mortality by fourfold and cause hemodynamic imbalances, adding to the already hyperdynamic circulation.

Excessive exercise can lead to fatigue, consequently affect exercise performance, and further have an adverse impact to human health. The synergistic effects of ginsenosides, salidroside, and syringin on improving exercise performance remain unknown. Hence, the effects of Chinese herb powder (CHP) which consisted of bioactive compounds such as ginsenosides (Rg1, Re, and Rb1), salidroside, and syringin on exercise performance, energy metabolism, tissue damage, antioxidant activity, and inflammatory cytokine were investigated in exhaustive exercise rats.

Elevated lactate concentrations are implicated in various acute and chronic diseases, such as sepsis and mitochondrial dysfunction, respectively. Conversely, ineffective lactate clearance is associated with poor clinical prognoses and high mortality in these diseases. While several groups have proposed using small molecule inhibitors and enzyme replacement to reduce circulating lactate, there are few practical and effective ways to manage this condition.

Restenosis, the re-narrowing of blood vessels after drug-coated balloons (DCBs), remains a major clinical issue. While rapamycin is the current clinical option for preventing restenosis due to its effectiveness and low toxicity, its delivery is limited by poor tissue absorption and rapid clearance, leading to suboptimal drug retention. Here, we developed the adhesive-polyelectrolyte-coated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) particles using in-situ UV-triggered polymerization, encapsulating rapamycin.

Iruplinalkib (WX-0593), a selective oral ALK/ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was approved in China as first-line therapy for ALK-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC that has progressed following crizotinib therapy. Pharmacokinetics (PK) data of iruplinalkib have been collected in healthy subjects and patient populations in several studies. We developed a population PK (PopPK) model for describing iruplinalkib plasma concentrations and for evaluating whether dose adjustments are necessary based on demographic factors or disease characteristics.
