Background/aims: Various body-regulating mechanisms try to counteract rapid changes in serum phosphate levels during hemodialysis (HD). Neither recently proposed nor other existing standard compartment models are able to capture clinically observed intradialytic serum phosphate rebound.
Methods: Phosphate serum concentration was frequently measured during 75 HD sessions in 25 patients. Time delay was introduced into the standard pseudo one-compartment model in order to reflect the time needed for the body-regulating mechanism to affect serum phosphate level.
Results: Measured serum phosphate concentration at the end of 4 h dialysis session was on average larger than 1 h earlier (p value = 0.015). The model with time delay reproduced successfully 19 out of 21 and 9 out of 10 sessions with and without recorded intradialytic rebound, respectively.
Conclusion: The intradialytic serum phosphate rebound is associated with the time delay reflecting efficacy of body-regulating mechanisms, that is, the larger the delay the larger is the intradialytic rebound.

Article Synopsis
- Drug development for congenital toxoplasmosis is challenging due to high adverse effects and poor efficacy of first-line therapies; bumped kinase inhibitors (BKIs) like BKI-1748 may offer a new treatment option.
- In a study involving 19 pregnant sheep, those treated with BKI-1748 after infection showed lower fever and immunological responses compared to untreated counterparts.
- The treated group had a higher percentage of healthy lambs at delivery and showed no evidence of congenital transmission of the parasite, unlike the untreated group where parasite DNA was detectable.

Article Synopsis
- The probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) was studied for its effects on atherosclerosis in mice fed a high-fat diet, revealing its potential to alleviate disease progression.
- EcN treatment reduced atherosclerotic plaque formation, improved cholesterol levels, and inhibited the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins linked to inflammation.
- Further analysis showed that EcN regulated gut microbiota and metabolite levels, suggesting a mechanism for its beneficial effects, although antibiotics partially reversed these outcomes.

Elevated serum phosphate levels have been linked to increased mortality rates. This study investigated the effect of millimolar (mM) concentrations of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) on trypsin's aggregation and structural stability at intestinal pH levels. We used various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to investigate the structural changes of trypsin aggregates.

Prenatal exposure to hazardous environmental pollutants is a critical global concern due to their confirmed presence in umbilical cord blood, indicating the ability of pollutants to cross the placental barrier and expose the fetus to harmful compounds. However, the transplacental transfer efficiencies (TTEs) of many pollutants remain underexplored. Herein, we developed a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to quantitatively analyze 91 environmental pollutants, including 13 bisphenols (BPs), 18 organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), 7 brominated and other flame retardants (BFRs), 34 phthalates (PAEs), and 19 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), in paired maternal and cord serums.
