Background: The use of regional citrate anticoagulation during continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) has increased worldwide. However, data on its effect on the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics are limited. In this study, the authors aimed to measure the clearance of piperacillin-tazobactam and vancomycin in patients receiving CVVHDF with regional citrate anticoagulation.
Methods: This study measured piperacillin-tazobactam and vancomycin concentrations in patients receiving CVVHDF with regional citrate anticoagulation. Dosing regimens were independently selected by intensivists. Arterial blood and effluent fluid samples were obtained over a single dosing interval and analyzed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry.
Results: Seventeen sampling intervals in 15 patients (9 receiving piperacillin-tazobactam only, 4 receiving vancomycin only, and 2 receiving both) were used. The median overall clearance for piperacillin was 35.2 mL/min [interquartile range (IQR): 32.2-38.6], 70 mL/min (IQR: 62.7-76.2) for tazobactam, and 29.5 mL/min (IQR: 26.2-32) for vancomycin.
Conclusions: This is the first study to quantify the pharmacokinetics of vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam in patients receiving CVVHDF with regional citrate anticoagulation. These results indicate high clearance and provide key information to guide optimal dosing.

Ectoine is a high-value protective agent with extensive applications in the fields of fine chemicals and biopharmaceuticals, and it is naturally synthesized by Halomonas in extreme environment, however, the current production level cannot meet the growing market demand. In this study, we aimed to develop an efficient and environmentally friendly ectoine production process using Bacillus licheniformis as the host organism. Through introducing ectoine synthetase gene cluster ectABC from Halomonas elongate, as well as optimizing ectABC expression by promoter and 5'-UTR optimization, ectoine titer was increased to 0.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a novel biocompatible polymeric biomaterial with a wide range of biomedical uses, like tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds, wound dressings, and drug delivery. Although BC lacks good cell adhesion due to limited functionality, its tunable surface chemistry still holds promise. Here, hydroxyapatite (HA) was incorporated into a citrate-modified BC (MBC) using the biomimetic synthesis in simulated body fluid (SBF).

Repairing cartilage tissue is a serious global challenge. Herein, we focus on wood skeletal structures that are highly porous for cell penetration yet have load-bearing strength, and aim to synthesize wood-derived hydrogels with the ability to regenerate cartilage tissues. The hydrogels were synthesized by wood delignification and the subsequent intercalation of citric acid (CA), which is involved in tricarboxylic acid cycles and essential for energy production, and -acetylglucosamine (NAG), which is a cartilage glycosaminoglycan, among cellulose microfibrils.
