Published: March 1988

The effect of the enzyme inducer flumecinolum, m-trifluoromethyl-alpha-ethylbenzhydrol (Zixoryn), on aminophylline metabolism was examined in rats. Aminophylline plasma levels were determined by HPLC. Aminophylline T1/2 was 2.85 hours (r = 0.9353) in the pretreated group and 3.75 hours (r = 0.9471) in the untreated control group. Flumecinolum was found to accelerate the elimination of aminophylline and the effect became significant 3.92 hours after the administration of aminophylline.

Tamoxifen (TAM) is employed to treat premenopausal ER-positive breast cancer patients, but TAM resistance is the main reason affecting its efficacy. Thus, addressing TAM resistance is crucial for improving therapeutic outcomes. This study explored the potential role of Tinagl1, a secreted extracellular matrix protein, whose expression is compromised in TAM-resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cells (MCF-7R).

Background And Aim: Discriminating between idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is critical yet challenging. We aim to develop and validate a machine learning (ML)-based model to aid in this differentiation.

Methods: This multicenter cohort study utilised a development set from Beijing Friendship Hospital, with retrospective and prospective validation sets from 10 tertiary hospitals across various regions of China spanning January 2009 to May 2023.

Background: Prostaglandin E (PGE) in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) has been recognized as a pivotal pressor substance in hypertension, yet understanding of its effects and origins in the RVLM remains largely elusive. This study aimed to elucidate the pivotal enzymes and molecular mechanisms underlying PGE synthesis induced by central Ang II (angiotensin II) and its implications in the heightened oxidative stress and sympathetic outflow in hypertension.

Methods And Results: RVLM microinjections of PGE and Tempol were administered in Wistar-Kyoto rats.

The efficiency of kinase inhibiting cancer therapeutics is often limited by their poor solubility in water. PEGylation is one possible strategy to improve the solubility of the drug, however, means to cleave these after reaching the target is important to make use of the therapeutic effects of the native drug. Moreover, the length of the PEG chains will have an effect on the solubility and binding.

The CRISPR-derived endoribonuclease Csy4 is a popular tool for controlling transgene expression in various therapeutically relevant settings, but adverse effects potentially arising from non-specific RNA cleavage remains largely unexplored. Here, we report a split-Csy4 architecture that was carefully optimized for in vivo usage. First, we separated Csy4 into two independent protein moieties whose full catalytic activity can be restored via various constitutive or conditional protein dimerization systems.
