Background: A rapid infusion rate for intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) can cause adverse effects; therefore, safe and efficient infusion rates are desired. This study aimed to develop a triglyceride (TG) kinetic model after soybean oil-based ILE (SO-ILE) administration and individualize the infusion rate via a population pharmacokinetic approach.
Methods: Eighty-three inpatients were enrolled in this prospective observational study. A TG kinetic model was applied to the observations based on population pharmacokinetics using a nonlinear mixed-effect model. The patients' characteristics and laboratory parameters were evaluated to identify predictors of TG kinetics, and the maximum acceptable infusion rate was defined as that for which the maximum TG concentration did not exceed 400 mg/dl in 90% of patients.
Results: No adverse events associated with SO-ILE administration were observed. The developed TG kinetic model explained the observed TG concentrations and identified the baseline TG concentration and body weight as predictors of TG kinetics. The estimated maximum acceptable infusion rates greatly varied among individuals, ranging from <0.01 to 0.3 g/kg/h.
Conclusion: The present study suggested the necessity and demonstrated the feasibility of individualizing the infusion rates of SO-ILE, using a population pharmacokinetic approach.

Microtextured microneedles are tiny needle-like structures with micron-scale microtextures, and the drugs stored in the microtextures can be released after entering the skin to achieve the effect of precise drug delivery. In this study, the skin substitution model of Ogden's hyperelastic model and the microneedle array and microtexture models with different geometrical parameters were selected to simulate and analyse the flow of the microtexture microneedle arrays penetrating the skin by the finite-element method, and the length of the microneedles was determined to be 200 μm, the width 160 μm, and the value of the gaps was determined to be 420 μm. A four-pronged cone was chosen as the shape of microneedles, and a rectangle was chosen as the shape of the drug-carrying microneedle.

Brentuximab vedotin (BV)-bendamustine (90 or 120 mg/m2 day 1 and 2) every 28 days is an effective treatment for relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R HL) but associated to high toxicity especially for elderly patients. We conducted in St Louis Hospital, Paris, between 2015 and 2021 a retrospective single-center analysis of 44 patients with R/R HL treated with one-day BV-bendamustine (120 mg/m2) every 21 days. Sixteen percent of patients were ≥ 60 years old (yo).

Aging is accompanied by multiple molecular changes that contribute to aging associated pathologies, such as accumulation of cellular damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Tissue metabolism can also change with age, in part, because mitochondria are central to cellular metabolism. Moreover, the cofactor NAD, which is reported to decline across multiple tissues during aging, plays a central role in metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and the oxidative synthesis of nucleotides, amino acids, and lipids.

We investigated BCMA-directed CART in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) and CNS involvement. Ten patients who received either ide-cel (n=6) or cilta-cel (n=4) were included in this analysis. Patients had brain/cranial nerve and/or spinal cord involvement/leptomeningeal disease evident on either MRI (100%) and/or CSF (40%).

Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab (RTX) in primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN).
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on the medical records of 22 patients diagnosed with primary IgAN who received RTX treatment. The clinical data, including blood tests, urine examinations and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), were analyzed at four time point: baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.
