Pharmacokinetics plays a key role in rational use of medicines. Many factors can affect the drug's pharmacokinetics. Previous studies mainly focused on the impact of hypoxia on hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme, but uncommon on drug transporters. Actually, drug transporter is a key factor for activation of the drugs transport across the cell membrane into the inside of cells, such as multidrug resistance protein (MDR), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), multidrug resistance associated protein (MRP), organic cation transporter (OCT), organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP), organic anion transporter (OAT), qligopeptide transporter (PEPT), etc. They are widely present in the small intestine villus epithelial cells, renal tubular epithelial cells, hepatocytes and biliary epithelial cells. They play a very important role in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. The changes in drug transporters under hypoxia in intestinal could affect the bioavailability of drugs; the changes in drug transporters in organs could affect drug's distribution, subsequent drug's indications and adverse reactions; the changes in drug transporters in liver and kidney could affect the metabolism and excretion rate of drugs, thereby the drug's residence time and half-life.

Ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation of K/Cl cotransporter 2 (KCC2) in the ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPM) has been demonstrated to serve as a common mechanism by which the brain emerges from anesthesia and regains consciousness. Ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation of KCC2 during anesthesia is driven by E3 ligase Fbxl4. However, the mechanism by which ubiquitinated KCC2 is targeted to the proteasome has not been elucidated.

Modern treatment, a healthy diet, and physical activity routines lower the risk factors for metabolic syndrome; however, this condition is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality worldwide. This investigation involved a randomized controlled trial, double-blind, parallel study. Fifty-eight participants with risk factors of metabolic syndrome according to the inclusion criteria were randomized into two groups and given probiotics (Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MSMC39-1 and Bifidobacterium animalis TA-1) (n = 31) or a placebo (n = 27).

Severe trauma frequently leads to nerve damage. Peripheral nerves possess a degree of regenerative ability, and actively promoting their recovery can help restore the sensory and functional capacities of tissues. The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is believed to regulate the repair of injured peripheral nerves, with neuronal transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) potentially serving as a crucial upstream factor.

Rationale: Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) defines a group of severe and heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorders. The voltage-gated potassium channel subfamily 2 voltage-gated potassium channel α subunit encoded by the KCNB1 gene is essential for neuronal excitability. Previous studies have shown that KCNB1 variants can cause DEE.
