Article Abstract
Purpose: A series of iterative population pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling and probability of target attainment (PTA) analyses based on emerging data supported dose selection for aztreonam-avibactam, an investigational combination antibiotic for serious Gram-negative bacterial infections.
Methods: Two iterations of PK models built from avibactam data in infected patients and aztreonam data in healthy subjects with "patient-like" assumptions were used in joint PTA analyses (primary target: aztreonam 60% fT > 8 mg/L, avibactam 50% fT > 2.5 mg/L) exploring patient variability, infusion durations, and adjustments for moderate (estimated creatinine clearance [CrCL] > 30 to ≤ 50 mL/min) and severe renal impairment (> 15 to ≤ 30 mL/min). Achievement of > 90% joint PTA and the impact of differential renal clearance were considerations in dose selection.
Results: Iteration 1 simulations for Phase I/IIa dose selection/modification demonstrated that 3-h and continuous infusions provide comparable PTA; avibactam dose drives joint PTA within clinically relevant exposure targets; and loading doses support more rapid joint target attainment. An aztreonam/avibactam 500/137 mg 30-min loading dose and 1500/410 mg 3-h maintenance infusions q6h were selected for further evaluation. Iteration 2 simulations using expanded PK models supported an alteration to the regimen (500/167 mg loading; 1500/500 mg q6h maintenance 3-h infusions for CrCL > 50 mL/min) and selection of doses for renal impairment for Phase IIa/III clinical studies.
Conclusion: A loading dose plus 3-h maintenance infusions of aztreonam-avibactam in a 3:1 fixed ratio q6h optimizes joint PTA. These analyses supported dose selection for the aztreonam-avibactam Phase III clinical program.

Radical-featured organic materials usually demonstrate significantly narrower bandgap than that of regular organic materials, which is beneficial for near-infrared (NIR) absorption and non-radiative decay process, making them good candidates for photothermal agents (PTAs) of photothermal therapy (PTT). However, most organic radicals are too short-lived to be separated and stable. Herein, a stable pyrylium-croconaine (CR) dye CR845 with high diradical character was synthesized and assembled into CR845 nanoparticles (NPs) to explore the photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapeutic performance under NIR irradiation in vitro and in vivo.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the risk factors for early-onset patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) in patients who had anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using a hamstring tendon autograft within two years post-surgery.
- Researchers analyzed MRI data and clinical parameters from 177 patients aged 18 to 40 and a control group, finding that nearly 38% of the ACLR patients developed PFOA.
- Key risk factors for developing early-onset PFOA included age at surgery, timing of surgery relative to injury, and various anatomical measurements like patellar tilt angle and static anterior tibial translation.
Electrothermal Conversion of Methane to Methanol at Room Temperature with Phosphotungstic Acid.

Traditional methods for the aerobic oxidation of methane to methanol frequently require the use of noble metal catalysts or flammable H-O mixtures. While electrochemical methods enhance safety and may avoid the use of noble metals, these processes suffer from low yields due to limited current density and/or low selectivity. Here, we design an electrothermal process to conduct aerobic oxidation of methane to methanol at room temperature using phosphotungstic acid (PTA) as a redox mediator.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how the shape of the patella (kneecap) affects knee function and joint alignment after a specific type of knee surgery called unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).
- It involved analyzing data from 207 osteoarthritis patients, classified into three groups based on patellar morphology (Wiberg I, II, and III), and measured knee function scores and patellar alignment through various imaging parameters.
- Results showed that patients with Wiberg III patellae had higher rates of knee pain and worse functional scores after surgery, suggesting that tailored surgical approaches may be needed for this group to improve outcomes.
