Risperidone (RIS) is an atypical antipsychotic agent and its 9-hydroxylated metabolite named paliperidone (PAL) also has pharmacological properties similar to that of RIS. Quantifications of RIS and PAL in authentic human biological fluids and solid tissues by liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) have not been reported yet although those in plasma (and blood) were reported abundantly. In the present work, a quantification method for RIS and PAL based on the standard addition method was devised and validated for the human fluid and solid tissue specimens. RIS and PAL in biological fluids were quantified only after their dilution and deproteinization. The concentrations of RIS and PAL in the heart whole blood, pericardial fluid, stomach contents, bile, urine, liver, kidney and cerebrum were determined for a deceased who had been treated with RIS therapeutically, and also a deceased who had ingested RIS with other drugs intentionally. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the quantification of RIS and PAL by LC-MS/MS in the authentic human tissues and biological fluids.

Purpose: The intraepithelial corneal nerves (ICNs) innervating the cornea are essential to corneal epithelial cell homeostasis. Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitors (RIs) have been reported to play roles in neuron survival after injury and in mitochondrial transfer between corneal epithelial cells. In this study, the mechanisms human corneal limbal epithelial (HCLE) cells use to control intercellular mitochondrial transfer are assessed.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitors in promoting the health of corneal nerves and their potential effect on nerve regeneration after injury.
- Researchers analyzed integrin and extracellular matrix expression in mouse neurons and explored how RI treatment influences neurite growth both in lab cultures and in live mice following injuries.
- Results showed that specific integrins were present on neuron growth structures, and RI treatment enhanced nerve growth in vitro and improved sensory nerve recovery in vivo after injury.
Background: Timely and safe elective health care facilitates return to normal activities for patients and prevents emergency admissions. Surgery is a cornerstone of elective care and relies on complex pathways. This study aimed to take a whole-system approach to evaluating access to and quality of elective health care globally, using inguinal hernia as a tracer condition.
