A male individual aged 82 years with hypertension who had a smoking history, but no history of cardiovascular events, developed acute myocardial infarction immediately after he took oral polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution with ascorbic acid as a pretreatment for a colonoscopy to examine anemia. He took polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution with ascorbic acid at twice (2 L/h) the rate recommended in the package insert and by the physician. The patient showed impaired consciousness 2 h after taking polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution with ascorbic acid and his family called the emergency medical service. Upon arrival of the emergency medical service, his systolic blood pressure was 60 mmHg and heart rate was 50 bpm. Systolic blood pressure and impaired consciousness were slightly improved, but compensatory shock remained, at arrival at the emergency outpatient service at our hospital. No dyspnea or rash was apparent. The patient had no subjective chest pain; however, ST-segment elevation was detected in the electrocardiogram at II, III, aVF, V3R, and V4R. He was diagnosed with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and underwent a coronary catheter intervention for total occlusion of the right coronary artery. His shock state was abolished by this intervention. The patient was pretreated with polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution with ascorbic acid under close watch in the coronary care unit 4 days later, with no relapse of symptoms. Advanced cancer was found in the ileocecum by colonoscopy; consequently, the patient underwent a colectomy and was discharged from our hospital and transferred to another hospital for rehabilitation on hospital day 74. A Naranjo assessment score of 4 was obtained, indicating a possible relationship of acute myocardial infarction with misuse of the suspect drug, polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution with ascorbic acid.

Cytokinins are plant hormones that regulate cell growth and differentiation. In particular, zeatin (ZTN) delays cellular senescence of human fibroblasts and keratinocytes and exhibits anticancer activity. Chemotherapy-induced anemia is a major side effect of anticancer therapy secondary to premature senescence of red blood cells (RBCs).

The synthesis of degradable polymer prodrug nanoparticles is still a challenge to be met, which would make it possible to remedy both the shortcomings of traditional formulation of preformed polymers (, low nanoparticle concentrations) and those of the physical encapsulation of drugs (, burst release and poor drug loadings). Herein, through the combination of radical ring-opening polymerization (rROP) and polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) under appropriate experimental conditions, we report the successful preparation of high-solid content, degradable polymer prodrug nanoparticles, exhibiting multiple drug moieties covalently linked to a degradable vinyl copolymer backbone. Such a rROPISA process relied on the chain extension of a biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol)-based solvophilic block with a mixture of lauryl methacrylate (LMA), cyclic ketene acetal (CKA) and drug-bearing methacrylic esters by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization at 20 wt% solid content.

Objectives: This study focuses on analyzing the efficacy of lactulose oral solution combined with Macrogol 4000 Powder in the treatment of functional constipation (FC).
Methods: A total of 125 FC patients were selected, with 60 cases in a control group, who were treated with lactulose oral solution alone, and 65 cases in a research group, who were treated with lactulose oral solution combined with Macrogol 4000 Powder. The two groups were analyzed and compared in terms of efficacy, symptom recovery, Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) and Wexner Constipation Scale (WCS) scores, adverse effects, serum indices, and Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life (PAC-QOL).

In a wake of shifting climatic scenarios, plants are frequently forced to undergo a spectrum of abiotic and biotic stresses at various stages of growth, many of which have a detrimental effect on production and survival. Naturally, microbial consortia partner up to boost plant growth and constitute a diversified ecosystem against abiotic stresses. Despite this, little is known pertaining to the interplay between endophytic microbes which release phytohormones and stimulate plant development in stressed environments.

Developing orally administered pediatric formulations presents significant challenges due to the unique characteristics of pediatric patients. Terbinafine hydrochloride (TER), a powerful antifungal agent, is effective against various fungal infections, including Tinea capitis, which is common in children. However, its low aqueous solubility necessitates innovative pharmaceutical strategies to enhance its effectiveness.
