Objectives: The pharmacokinetics of renally cleared vancomycin are significantly altered in critically ill patients undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT), affecting the achievement of therapeutic targets. We evaluated the predictive performance of RRT patient-based PopPK models for model-informed precision dosing and subsequently simulated optimal dosing regimens for this population.

Methods: Six adult PopPK models were systematically identified and evaluated using a dataset of 226 concentrations from 23 adult patients on RRT from two study centers.

We identified 14 key genes associated with mitochondrial autophagy in sepsis through differential analysis of the dataset and then analysed the identified genes for functional enrichment. The analysis of key genes and deeper analysis of key genes by molecular typing, Weighted Gene Correlation Network Analysis (WGCNA) and ceRNA were also carried out. We have also validated these key genes with clinical data.

Background: The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 at the end of 2019 sounded the alarm for early inspection on acute respiratory infection (ARI). However, diagnosis pathway of ARI has still not reached a consensus and its impact on prognosis needs to be further explored.

Methods: ESAR is a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled, non-inferiority clinical trial on evaluating the diagnosis performance and its impact on prognosis of ARI between mNGS and multiplex PCR.

In our previous study, we have confirmed that in phosgene-induced acute lung injury (ALI) rats, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can treat the disease. Moreover, heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) can be used as a protective protein, and Hsp70 upregulated drastically when exposed to stressful conditions. We aimed to assess that MSCs overexpressed Hsp70 could enhance the capacity of MSCs and have a good therapeutic effect on phosgene-induced ALI.

Phosgene exposure may result in acute lung injury (ALI) with high mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a therapeutic potential against ALI. CXC chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7) has been identified as a receptor of stromal-cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) involved in MSC migration and may be an important mediator of the therapeutic effects of MSCs on ALI.

Phosgene-induced acute lung injury (P-ALI) is characterized by inflammation and effective treatments are lacking. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) has the beneficial effects on P-ALI. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the potential for re-epithelization and recovery in lung injury.

Objective: Angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) is reported to have the ability to attenuate endothelial permeability and inflammation during the stress condition and is considered to play a critical role in vascular stabilization. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms involved in the protective effects of adenovirus-delivered Ang1 in phosgene-induced acute lung injury (ALI).

Methods: ALI was induced in rats by phosgene exposure at 8.

A method was established for the determination of three phenolic environmental estrogens, namely bisphenol A (BPA), nonylphenol (NP) and octylphenol (OP), in urine from women of uterine leiomyoma group (n=49) and control group (n=29), by using solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Urine samples were spiked with 2,4,6-tribromophenyl-terminated tetrabromobisphenol-A carbonate oligomer (TBBPA) and nonylphenol D8 (NP-D8) as internal standard (I.S.
