Purpose: The objective of the present study was to determine the impact of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of mycophenolic acid (MPA).
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Sciences, and Scopus were systematically searched to identify relevant studies reporting pharmacokinetic parameters [including trough concentration (C0), maximum concentration (Cmax), time to maximum concentration (Tmax), the dose-adjusted area under the concentration-time curve from time 0-12 hours (AUC0-12 h/D), and half-life (t1/2)], and pharmacodynamic outcomes of MPA (eg, acute graft rejection and adverse drug reactions), with and without PPI administration. Pooled effect estimates were calculated using a random-effects model.
Results: Twelve studies involving 473 participants were eligible for inclusion, 11 of which were included in the meta-analysis. PPI exposure was significantly associated with lower C0 [mean difference (MD) = -0.62 mg/L; P = 0.003] lower Cmax (MD = -4.71 mg/L; P = 0.01), and longer Tmax (MD = 0.30 hours; P = 0.0001) of MPA. However, no significant association was observed between PPI exposure and AUC0-12 h/D, t1/2, or any pharmacodynamic outcomes. Based on subgroup analysis, it can be suggested that a significant association between PPI exposure and altered MPA pharmacokinetics was mainly associated with mycophenolate mofetil but not enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium.
Conclusions: Coadministration of PPIs and mycophenolate mofetil significantly altered the pharmacokinetics of MPA, particularly by decreasing MPA absorption. However, PPI-MPA interactions did not impact pharmacodynamic outcomes of MPA.

Background: Aortic dissection occurs rarely during pregnancy but carries a significantly high vital risk for both the mother and the fetus. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical for a successful outcome.
Case Presentation: A 32-year-old pregnant woman at 31 weeks of gestation began experiencing shortness of breath, chest pain, and palpitations, which were attributed to an anxiety disorder she had been previously diagnosed with.

Background: /aims. Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum (PXE, OMIM 264800) is an autosomal, recessive, metabolic disorder characterized by progressive ectopic calcification in the skin, the vasculature and Bruch's membrane. Variants in the ABCC6 gene are associated with low plasma pyrophosphate (PPi) concentration.

Background: Ulinastatin (UTI), recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties, holds promise for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between intraoperative UTI administration and the incidence of delirium following cardiac surgery.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on a retrospective cohort of 6,522 adult cardiac surgery patients to evaluate the relationship between UTI treatment and the incident of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients ongoing cardiac surgery.

Background: Guidelines recognized dual combination in initial antihypertensive therapy. Studies found that low-dose quadruple combination were superior to monotherapy. However, whether low-dose quadruple therapy is better than dual combination is unknown.

Background: Cannabis is the third most widely used psychoactive substance globally, and its consumption has been increasing, particularly with the growing trend of legalization for medicinal and recreational use. Recent studies have raised concerns about the potential impact of cannabis on respiratory health, specifically the risk of asthma, a significant public health concern. This systematic review aimed to consolidate research on the association between cannabis use and the risk of asthma.
