Introduction: Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Serum lactate is being used in sepsis for diagnostic and prognostic purposes for years now. In this study, we shed light over a novel use of lactate in form of various clearance parameters to determine mortality in septic patients at the 28th day.

Materials And Methods: In our study, 200 patients with sepsis were included using quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) score and their lactate levels were measured at the time of admission (0 hour) and 24 hours after admission. Lactate clearance parameters (absolute and relative lactate clearance, lactate clearance rate) were calculated. All patients were followed up for a period of 28 days to determine the outcome, and data analysis was done accordingly.

Results And Conclusion: Our study showed that higher SOFA score, qSOFA score, and serum lactate levels were associated with increased 28th-day mortality. Low absolute, relative lactate clearance and lactate clearance rate were also associated with poor outcomes. The best cutoffs to predict poor outcomes were serum lactate level at 24 hours ≥4 mmol/L and relative lactate clearance ≤40.3% with good sensitivity and specificity.

Background: Internal ocular diseases, such as macular edema, uveitis, and diabetic macular edema require precise delivery of therapeutic agents to specific regions within the eye. However, the eye's complex anatomical structure and physiological barriers present significant challenges to drug penetration and distribution. Traditional eye drops suffer from low bioavailability primarily due to rapid clearance mechanisms.

Background: The monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) plays a crucial role in regulating lactate and pyruvate transport across cell membranes, which is essential for energy metabolism during exercise. The A1470T (rs1049434) polymorphism has been suggested to influence lactate transport, with the T (major) allele associated with greater transport efficiency. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the polymorphism on lactate and potassium (K) concentrations in response to resistance exercise (RE) following caffeine (CAF) ingestion.

Albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX) nanoparticles have been proven effective in treating advanced pancreatic cancer. However, the clinical application of nab-PTX nanoparticles is often associated with suboptimal outcomes and severe side effects due to its non-specific distribution and rapid clearance. This study aims to develop a novel nanoplatform that integrates sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and chemotherapy to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce systemic side effects.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are widely used for nucleic acid delivery but face challenges like limited targeting and accelerated blood clearance (ABC) effect. We design three ionizable oligomers (IOs) that, with polylactide-polyethylene glycol (PLA-PEG), form a potential siRNA delivery system, named Ionizable Polymeric Micelles (IPMs). The siRNA encapsulated IPMs escape from lysosomes upon cellular uptake, and silence the target gene.
