The tissue distribution, metabolism, and elimination of 14C-octachlorostyrene (OCS) were studied in the rat. OCS was absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration and distributed in all tissues examined. The highest concentrations were found in fat followed by adrenal glands, skin, and lungs. Decay of radioactivity in the tissues followed first-order kinetics. Approximately 8% of an iv dose was excreted in feces during 7 days after administration, while negligible amounts were found in the urine. More than 90% of the radioactivity in feces was due to the unchanged compound, while pentachlorophenyldichloroacetic acid and heptachlorostyrene in equal proportions accounted for the remaining 10%. A small amount (1%) of the dose was detected in the expired air as carbon dioxide.

College of Pharmacy, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu, China.
Background: (BC), also named Niuhuang in Chinese, is utilized as a resuscitation drug in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for the treatment of neurological disorders. Ischemic stroke (IS) is a significant global public health issue that currently lacks safe and effective therapeutic drugs. Ongoing efforts are focused on identifying effective treatment strategies from Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Medicine.

Introduction: 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) is a promising translational therapy in several brain injury models, including the neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) model in mice. However, the neuroprotective effect of 7,8-DHF was only observed in female, but not male, neonatal mice with HI brain injury. It is unknown whether HI-induced physiological changes affect brain distribution of 7,8-DHF differently for male versus female mice.

Cali Biosciences, US, LLC, San Diego, CA, USA.
Background And Objective: There is a significant medical need for improved long-acting local anesthetics to decrease postsurgical pain and reduce postoperative opioid use. While ropivacaine is considered a safer local anesthetic than bupivacaine, no long-acting ropivacaine formulation is currently marketed. Available formulations of bupivacaine show inconsistent pharmacokinetics (PK) among different surgical models, and inconsistency in PK may lead to a reluctance to use the medication owing to fear of local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) or unreliable efficacy.

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to examine the demographic data and clinical features of ocular surface injuries due to thermal burns and to evaluate LSCD in the light of global consensus.
Methods: Thirty-three eyes of 20 cases with ocular surface injury due to thermal burn who attended to the clinic between 2012 and 2023 were included in the study. LSCD severity was staged according to the global consensus which was published in 2019.
SARS-CoV-2 evolution on a dynamic immune landscape.
Nature
January 2025
Department of Mathematics & Computer Science, Freie Universität Berlin, Berlin, Germany.
Since the onset of the pandemic, many SARS-CoV-2 variants have emerged, exhibiting substantial evolution in the virus' spike protein, the main target of neutralizing antibodies. A plausible hypothesis proposes that the virus evolves to evade antibody-mediated neutralization (vaccine- or infection-induced) to maximize its ability to infect an immunologically experienced population. Because viral infection induces neutralizing antibodies, viral evolution may thus navigate on a dynamic immune landscape that is shaped by local infection history.
